MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW
During 1995, the Corporation made a dramatic shift in its business portfolio
and future direction. This transformation was hallmarked by the $5.4 billion
acquisition of CBS Inc. (CBS) in November 1995. As a result, Westinghouse
became the largest television and radio broadcaster in the country, with 15
television stations reaching 33% of U.S. households and 39 radio stations
covering 35% of the nation. The CBS Television Network is a long-standing,
branded consumer trademark with a strong heritage and worldwide recognition.
To finance the acquisition of CBS and replace existing credit facilities, the
Corporation successfully obtained new credit facilities under a credit
agreement with a commitment level of $7.5 billion in September 1995. This
financing was substantially oversubscribed by lenders.
As part of this strategic redirection, in December 1995, the Corporation
announced a plan to divest its defense and electronic systems business and The
Knoll Group (Knoll), its office furnishings unit. Proceeds from the sales of
these units will be used to repay approximately 65% of the debt incurred to
finance the CBS acquisition. This action will provide added financial
flexibility to invest in broadening the scope and global reach of the
Corporation's media and other businesses.
In December 1995, the Corporation reached a definitive agreement to sell Knoll
for $565 million of cash. In January 1996, an agreement was executed for the
sale of the Corporation's defense and electronic systems business for $3
billion of cash, and the assumption of approximately $500 million of pension
and postretirement benefit liabilities associated with active employees of the
business. The substantial turnaround of Knoll's operations in 1995 and the
strategic technology and defense programs of the defense and electronic systems
business, coupled with strong operating performance, enabled management to
obtain attractive values for these businesses. These transactions are expected
to be completed during the first quarter of 1996.
In March 1996, the Corporation adopted a plan to exit its environmental
services line of business included in its former Government & Environmental
Services segment. During the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation recorded an
after-tax charge for the estimated loss on disposal of $146 million.
During 1995, the Corporation made substantial progress in paying down
non-acquisition debt. In total, more than $1.4 billion of assets were
monetized, enabling the Corporation to exceed its $1 billion debt repayment
target established a year ago. During 1995, the Corporation sold:
-- WCI Communities, Inc. (WCI) for $430 million of cash and retained
approximately $125 million of mortgage notes receivable and securities,
-- the majority of the remaining real estate portfolio investments of
Financial Services generating cash proceeds of more than $360 million,
-- investments held in two trusts established to fund non-qualified
executive benefit plans for proceeds of $305 million, and
-- other non-strategic businesses for proceeds approximating $300 million of
cash.
These strategic changes and debt reduction activities affected the presentation
of the Corporation's financial information included in this report as follows:
-- results for CBS are included in the Corporation's financial statements
subsequent to the acquisition date of November 24, 1995,
-- the operating results for the environmental services businesses, the
defense and electronic systems business, Knoll, and WCI are presented as
Discontinued Operations separately from Continuing Operations for all
periods, and
-- all of the Corporation's debt is included in Continuing Operations except
for the remaining Financial Services debt that is expected to be repaid
through the liquidation of the leasing portfolio. However, in connection
with the transfer of the defense and electronic systems business and Knoll
to Discontinued Operations, interest expense was allocated to Discontinued
Operations for all periods. See note 3 to the financial statements.

The Corporation reported net income of $15 million in 1995 and $77 million in
1994 and a loss of $326 million in 1993. Net income (loss) includes results
from Continuing Operations, Discontinued Operations, and the cumulative effect
of a change in an accounting principle as presented below:

Included in 1995 results for Continuing Operations were pre-tax provisions of
$86 million ($53 million after tax) for restructuring activities, $236 million
($147 million after tax) related to the Philippines and steam generator
litigation matters, and a gain from the sale of MICROS Systems, Inc. (MICROS)
of $115 million ($66 million after tax). Included in the 1995 results of
Discontinued Operations were after-tax charges of $30 million for additional
restructuring and $76 million for the estimated loss on the disposal of WCI.
Included in 1994 results were pre-tax provisions related to Continuing
Operations of $19 million ($12 million after tax) for additional restructuring
activities and $308 million ($195 million after tax) for the settlement of a
portion of the Corporation's pension obligation. In 1994, the results of
Discontinued Operations included an after-tax charge of $39 million related to
restructuring activities.
The 1993 results included pre-tax provisions related to Continuing Operations
of $244 million ($159 million after tax) for restructuring and $305 million
($202 million after tax) for the disposition of non-strategic businesses and
costs for certain litigation and environmental contingencies. The 1993 results
of Discontinued Operations included after-tax provisions of $82 million for
restructuring and other actions, and $145 million for estimated disposal costs
of Discontinued Operations. The 1993 results also included an after-tax charge
of $56 million for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." See the
notes to the financial statements for further discussion of these matters.
Excluding the after-tax effect of certain special charges described above,
income from Continuing Operations was $122 million for 1995 compared to $206
million for 1994 and $187 million for 1993. Excluding all of the special
charges described above, net income was $255 million for 1995 compared to $323
million for 1994 and $318 million for 1993.
Earnings per share data appear below. The computation of fully diluted earnings
per share assumes that the conversion of the Series B Conversion Preferred
Stock (Series B Preferred), which converted to common stock on September 1,
1995, occurred at the beginning of the year. See note 15 to the financial

</TABLE>
With the strategic redirection of the Corporation and the shift in the
Corporation's business portfolio, management realigned the business segments
for financial reporting purposes. In 1995, a new segment, Communication &
Information Systems, was created that includes Westinghouse Communications,
formerly a part of the Broadcasting segment, and the communication and
information systems divisions of the former Electronic Systems segment. In
addition, Resource Energy Systems, previously included in the Other Businesses
segment, has been included in the Government and Environmental Services
segment. In March 1996, the environmental services businesses were
reclassified to Discontinued Operations in accordance with the Corporation's
plan to exit this line of business. Previously, the environmental services
businesses were reported as part of the Government and Environmental Services
business segment in Continuing Operations. Corporate overhead costs, which were
formerly allocated to the individual segments, are now included in Corporate &
Other. Segment information for 1995, 1994, and 1993 has been restated to
reflect these changes.
Sales for the Broadcasting segment in the above table have been restated due to
the first quarter 1996 elimination of agency commissions as a component of
sales and costs.
The Corporation's consolidated revenues from sales of products and services
increased $433 million in 1995 compared to 1994 primarily due to the
acquisition of CBS and increased volume at Thermo King, offset partially by the
divestiture of non-strategic businesses. The Corporation's consolidated
revenues were essentially flat in 1994 compared to 1993, totalling
approximately $5.4 billion. Operating profit for each of the last three years
included special charges related to restructuring activities, which totalled
$86 million in 1995, $19 million in 1994, and $244 million in 1993. Other
special charges of $236 million for litigation matters were included in
operating profit in 1995. In 1993, other special charges included in operating
profit were $125 million for litigation costs and $60 million for environmental
remediation costs associated with previously divested businesses.
The improvements in 1995 segment operating profit resulting from Thermo King's
increased volume and reduced corporate overhead costs were more than offset by
the decline in profitability of the Power Systems segment.
<PAGE> 4

Results for the Corporation continue to be affected by higher pension costs
resulting from unfunded pension obligations and by the costs associated with
litigation matters. Although the Corporation's objective is to reduce these
earnings constraints over the next few years, management expects that they will
continue to negatively affect operating results in 1996.
Broadcasting
The results for CBS subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on November
24, 1995 are included in the results for the Broadcasting segment. Sales and
operating profit for CBS for this 37-day period totalled $305 million and $9
million, respectively.
The results for television include those for 15 television stations, as well as
the CBS Television Network. The reported results for television and radio
include depreciation and amortization of specifically identifiable assets based
on their fair values when acquired. Amortization of goodwill arising from the
CBS acquisition is not readily separable among the CBS operations. As a result,
all of the amortization of this goodwill, which approximates $120 million per
year, is included in the results for "Other Broadcasting."
The approval by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
Corporation's acquisition of CBS contained a number of temporary waivers of the
FCC's television and radio ownership rules. The recently enacted
Telecommunications Act of 1996 deregulates some of these rules and makes
certain, but not all of the waivers unnecessary.
Generally, where waivers continue to be required, the Corporation intends to
file applications with the FCC seeking permanent waivers. Other group owners
have been granted similar waivers in recent years. Based on current FCC policy
and precedent, the Corporation believes the FCC will grant these waivers. If
these permanent waivers are not granted, the Corporation would be required to
divest certain of its television and radio properties.
Performance for the year for Broadcasting excluding CBS was strong. Revenues
increased 9% from 1994 to $711 million. Operating profit, excluding a $2
million adjustment for restructuring costs in 1994, increased 4% to $203
million. For the year, strong performances from radio and television operations
and Group W Satellite Communications were partially offset by additional
program development costs at the production company. However, during the fourth
quarter of 1995, a weak advertising market, driven by a lack of political
campaign advertising and lower ratings, caused television profits to decline
slightly.
Revenues for Broadcasting increased 5% to $650 million in 1994 compared to $618
million in 1993 reflecting growth in advertising revenues, particularly in
television. The 1994 Olympics and political campaigns contributed to the
increased advertising revenues. Group W Satellite Communications (GWSC) also
reported higher revenues.
Included in 1993 operating profit was $12 million for restructuring costs, of
which $2 million was subsequently not required and adjusted in 1994. Excluding
restructuring amounts, operating profit increased 29% to $195 million in 1994
compared to $151 million in 1993 due to the increased advertising revenues and
improvements in productivity resulting from cost-reduction programs.
The future operating results of Broadcasting depend on realization of
post-acquisition benefits from combined operations, demand for television
advertising, competitive changes in media businesses, and the television
network's audience share in all dayparts.
Earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and
special charges totalled $269 million for 1995, $226 million for 1994, and $183
million for 1993.
Power Systems
Power Systems consists of Energy Systems and Power Generation, the
Corporation's nuclear and fossil-fueled power generation businesses. The
results for the Power Systems segment in total reflect the impact of discounts
on goods and services provided to customers under litigation settlements.
However, the results for Energy Systems and Power Generation are presented as
if the sales had been made at normal commercial rates. The impact of these
discounts is presented in "Other Power Systems."
<PAGE> 5
5
Sales for Power Systems remained relatively stable over the last three years.
Operating profit, however, declined substantially in 1995 compared to 1994
because of the recognition of costs for litigation matters, lower profitability
for the Power Generation business unit, and restructuring costs.
Sales for Energy Systems in 1995 were consistent with the prior year. Revenues
in 1994 decreased 4% to $1,364 million due to reduced licensee income and the
favorable 1993 effect of a change in accounting for nuclear fuel revenues.
Included in 1995 operating profit was $16 million for restructuring activities
related to the separation of approximately 200 employees. Operating profit for
1994 included $26 million for restructuring activities related to the
separation of approximately 400 employees in late 1994. Included in the 1993
operating profit was $45 million for restructuring. Excluding special charges
in all years, operating profit decreased 7% to $130 million in 1995 compared to
1994 and 33% to $140 million in 1994 compared to 1993. The decreases in
operating profit in 1995 and 1994 were attributable primarily to lower licensee
income. Operating profit for 1994 also reflected the change in accounting for
nuclear fuel revenues in 1993. Cost savings from restructuring activities have
been essentially offset by price compression.
Revenues for Power Generation in 1995 increased 3% to $1,769 million compared
to 1994. Revenues decreased 4% or $71 million in 1994 compared to 1993. Higher
field service revenues and new apparatus sales offset decreased revenues from
major factory repair and service activities.
The operating loss for 1995 included $28 million for the separation of
approximately 550 employees. The operating loss in 1993 included $126 million
for restructuring activities, of which $5 million was redeployed in 1994 to
other businesses. Excluding the impact of restructuring in all years, operating
profit in 1995 decreased $113 million to $12 million after remaining flat in
1994 and 1993. The shift from high-margin service, which has declined due to a
combination of improved equipment reliability and deferral of maintenance by
utilities, to lower margin new apparatus business has more than offset cost
improvements from restructuring activities.
In 1995, orders of $2.4 billion, although strong, were down 5% from 1994
reflecting increased competitive pressures. Approximately 55% of the orders
were from customers outside the United States reflecting Power Generation's
focus on international opportunities.
Other Power Systems includes eliminations of sales between Energy Systems and
Power Generation, as well as activities related to uranium, steam generator and
Philippines litigation matters, including legal fees incurred, estimated losses
for settlements, and discounts. In 1995, a special charge of $236 million was
recognized for steam generator matters and the settlement of the Philippines
litigation. The operating loss for 1993 included a special charge of $125
million for litigation matters. Excluding the special charges, the operating
loss, which represents discounts from commercial prices on goods and services
supplied under previous settlement arrangements, was relatively flat.
Thermo King
Excellent results were reported by Thermo King for 1995. Sales increased 21%
driven by strong international demand, particularly in Europe. Operating profit
increased 30% as a result of the higher volume and benefits from product cost
improvement programs. International orders accounted for nearly 50% of Thermo
King's total orders in 1995. The slowdown in North American truck and trailer
business, which began in the third quarter of 1995, caused orders to decline
late in the year, although total-year orders were slightly ahead of 1994.
Revenues for Thermo King increased 22% to $877 million in 1994 due to volume
increases in both the domestic and international truck and trailer product
lines, as well as service parts and seagoing container product lines. Operating
profit increased 19% to $135 million in 1994 compared to 1993 primarily as a
result of the increased volume.
<PAGE> 6

Government Operations
Sales and operating profits for the management of government sites were strong
for 1995 with sales up 17% and operating profit up 5% compared to 1994.
Benefits from the U. S. Department of Energy's (DOE) new performance based
contracts were partially offset by the loss of a management contract at a DOE
facility in Idaho. Sales and operating profit in 1994 were up 28% and 8%,
respectively, compared to 1993, as a result of higher award fees at several DOE
sites and increased work scope and fees for the naval nuclear program.
The DOE is continuing to open for bid certain of its operating and maintenance
contracts as they expire. The Corporation intends to pursue vigorously the
retention of its current contracts and selectively bid on sites not currently
managed by the Corporation.
Communication & Information Systems
This newly created segment includes Westinghouse Communications, formerly a
part of the Broadcasting segment, and the communication and information systems
divisions of the former Electronic Systems segment. Sales in 1995 increased 16%
compared to 1994, while sales in 1994 increased 12% compared to the prior year.
The operating loss for 1995 included $3 million for restructuring activities,
while the operating loss in 1993 included $11 million for restructuring.
Excluding special charges in all years, operating profit declined $5 million in
1995 and was essentially flat in 1994 compared to the prior year. The decrease
in operating profit in 1995 is attributable primarily to reduced margins on
wireless communications contracts.
Other Businesses
During the year, the Corporation completed divestitures of several businesses
included in its former Industrial Products and Services business unit, and its
majority interest in MICROS. In addition, the Corporation closed a plant in
Abingdon, Virginia. Controlmatic and Gladwin were divested in 1994.
The decline in revenues and the fluctuations in operating profits for this
segment reflect these divestitures. Divestitures of most of the non-strategic
businesses were essentially complete by year-end 1995.
Corporate & Other
Included in the operating losses for the years 1995 and 1993 are special
charges related to restructuring activities, which totalled $39 million in 1995
and $45 million in 1993. Other special charges of $60 million for environmental
remediation costs associated with previously divested businesses were included
in the operating loss for 1993.
RESTRUCTURING OF OPERATIONS
The Corporation is committed to strengthening its businesses and improving its
profitability through restructuring actions ranging from changes in business
and product-line strategies to downsizing for process reengineering and
productivity improvements. To the extent possible, the Corporation is committed
to reducing its workforce through normal attrition. See note 20 to the
financial statements.
During the last three years, the Corporation has undertaken restructuring
programs at its corporate headquarters as well as at several of its major
businesses. In particular, Power Systems has identified initiatives at both its
Power Generation and Energy Systems business units in an effort to remain
competitive in light of a reduction in the demand for services and intense
pricing pressures. Restructuring actions for Continuing Operations, including
corporate headquarters, have resulted in the recognition of restructuring costs
totalling $86 million in 1995, $19 million in 1994 and $244 million in 1993.
The most significant cost component of the Corporation's restructuring plans
generally involves the elimination of positions and the separation of
employees. Approximately 3,720 positions were eliminated from Continuing
Operations during the last three years resulting in employee separation costs
totalling $286 million, including pension curtailment costs. Other cost
elements of these plans consist of asset write-downs of $36 million and costs
for facility closure or rationalization of $27 million. Included in these
amounts are cash expenditures totalling $291 million, consisting of $129
million in 1994, $98 million in 1995, $56 million in 1996, and $8 million in
1997. Employee separation costs generally are paid over a period of up to two
years following the separation.
<PAGE> 7

The annual savings expected from these restructuring initiatives approximates
$40 million for the 1995 plan, $35 million for the 1994 plan, and $65 million
for the 1993 plan. Based on the timing of implementation of the initiatives,
actual savings approximated $100 million in 1995 and $50 million in 1994.
Competitive pressures causing price compression in certain of the Corporation's
markets have absorbed a significant portion of the savings achieved through
restructuring actions.
Restructuring actions for the Corporation's Discontinued Operations,
principally the defense and electronic systems business and Knoll, resulted in
additional costs totalling $49 million in 1995, $52 million in 1994, and $106
million in 1993. These actions involved the separation of approximately 3,000
employees and the exiting of various product lines and facilities.
In conjunction with the CBS acquisition, a plan was developed to integrate the
infrastructure of the CBS headquarters and the radio and television operations
with those of the Corporation. The estimated cost for restructuring the CBS
organization, including separating employees and closing facilities, is $100
million of which $3 million had been spent as of year-end 1995. The
consolidation plan as it relates to the Corporation's existing operations was
not yet finalized at December 31, 1995. Therefore, the costs associated with
this aspect of the plan are expected to be recognized when the plan is adopted
in early 1996.
Cost-reduction initiatives are undertaken when the resulting benefits are
substantial in relation to the cost of the programs and are realizable in the
near term. The Corporation expects to continue to implement restructuring
initiatives as competitive conditions dictate in an ongoing effort to reduce
its overall cost structure and improve its competitiveness.
1994 PENSION SETTLEMENT
The Corporation's restructuring activities contributed to a high level of
lump-sum cash distributions from the Corporation's pension fund during 1994.
The magnitude of these cash distributions required that the Corporation apply
the provisions of SFAS No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and
Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits,"
and recognize a settlement loss of $308 million. This noncash charge to income
represents the pro rata portion of unrecognized losses associated with the
pension obligation that was settled.
The settlement loss did not affect shareholders' equity because the decrease
resulting from the income statement provision was fully offset by a reduction
in the charge to shareholders' equity related to the minimum pension liability.
See note 4 to the financial statements.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES
Other income for 1995 of $149 million included a pre-tax gain of $115 million
from the sale of the Corporation's 62% interest in MICROS and a $13 million
gain from the sale of an equity investment. The Corporation recorded an
additional $7 million provision for the estimated loss on disposition of
non-strategic businesses related to the disposition of Aptus.
For 1994, other income and expense, which was a net expense of $285 million,
consisted primarily of a $308 million charge for the settlement of a portion of
the Corporation's pension obligation. The Corporation recorded an additional
$17 million provision for the estimated loss on disposition of non-strategic
businesses to reflect actual sales experience and revised estimates of proceeds
and selling costs for the remaining businesses to be sold. These charges were
partially offset by a gain of $32 million from the sale of two radio stations.
For 1993, other income and expense, which was a net expense of $73 million,
consisted primarily of a $120 million provision for the estimated loss on
disposition of non-strategic businesses, most of which have since been
completed. This charge was offset by a $21 million gain on the sale of an
equity participation in a production company.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense attributable to Continuing Operations increased $103 million
to $237 million in 1995 because of two primary factors. At year-end 1994, $625
million of debt was transferred to Continuing Operations from Discontinued
Operations, causing an increase in interest expense for 1995 of approximately
$40 million. Additional interest expense from CBS acquisition debt approximated
$60 million.
<PAGE> 8

To a lesser degree, interest expense in 1995 was affected by an increase in
average short-term interest rates. In addition, in conjunction with the
transfer of Knoll and the Corporation's defense and electronic systems business
to Discontinued Operations, interest expense totalling $48 million in 1995, $37
million in 1994, and $46 million in 1993 was allocated to Discontinued
Operations. See note 3 to the financial statements.
Interest expense decreased $31 million to $134 million in 1994 compared to $165
million in 1993 primarily due to lower average outstanding short-term debt.
Average outstanding short-term debt of Continuing Operations decreased $782
million in 1994 compared to 1993. See note 11 to the financial statements.
INCOME TAXES
The Corporation's 1995 provision for income taxes in total was 62.7% of the
income before taxes and minority interest. The 1995 provision totalled $44
million, consisting of $14 million from Continuing Operations and $30 million
from Discontinued Operations.
The Corporation's 1994 provision for income taxes in total was 45.2% of the
income before taxes and minority interest. The 1994 net provision totalled $71
million, consisting of a $5 million benefit from Continuing Operations and a
$76 million expense from Discontinued Operations.
The Corporation's 1993 benefit for income taxes in total was 32.6% of the
losses from all sources. The 1993 benefit totalled $153 million, consisting of
$71 million from Continuing Operations, $52 million from Discontinued
Operations and $30 million from the cumulative effect of the change in
accounting principle.
The Corporation's effective tax rate has fluctuated dramatically depending on
the specific dollar amounts of permanent tax differences and the relationship
of those differences to income before income taxes and minority interest.
Numerous items have caused the effective tax rates to differ from the U.S.
statutory income tax rate of 35% for 1995, 1994 and 1993. An analysis of these
items related to Continuing Operations is set forth in note 6 to the financial
statements.
The net deferred tax asset at December 31, 1995 totalled $2,188 million for
Continuing and Discontinued Operations. The temporary differences that give
rise to deferred income taxes are shown in the Consolidated Deferred Income Tax
Sources table in note 6 to the financial statements.
The three significant components of the deferred tax asset balance are: (i) the
tax effect of net operating loss carryforwards of $3,229 million, of which $416
million will expire by the year 2007, $2,462 million by the year 2008 and the
balance by 2010, (ii) the tax effect of cumulative net temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes of $2,128 million
representing future net income tax deductions, and (iii) alternative minimum
tax credit carryforwards of $211 million that have no expiration date. Of the
net temporary difference of $2,128 million, approximately $1,410 million
represents a net pension obligation and $1,265 million represents an obligation
for postretirement and postemployment benefits. These are partially offset by
CBS temporary differences of approximately $872 million related primarily to
FCC licenses.
Management believes that the Corporation will have sufficient future taxable
income to make it more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will be
realized. In making this assessment, management considered the net losses
generated in 1992 and 1993 as aberrations caused in part by the liquidation of
a substantial portion of Financial Services assets and by restructuring and
other unusual actions. Further, the expected 1996 sale of Knoll and the defense
and electronic systems business will substantially reduce the deferred tax
asset through the realization of reversing temporary differences and net
operating losses.
The reversal of temporary differences may cause tax losses in future years.
Each tax-loss year would receive a new 15-year carryforward period. Under a
conservative assumption that all net cumulative temporary differences other
than net operating loss carryforwards had reversed in 1995, the Corporation
would have through the year 2010 to recover the tax asset. This would require
the Corporation to generate average annual taxable income of at least $200
million assuming completion of the 1996 sales of Knoll and the Corporation's
defense and electronic systems business. Management believes that average
annual future taxable income will exceed this minimum amount.
<PAGE> 9

In addition, there are certain tax planning strategies that could be employed
to utilize a net operating loss carryforward that would otherwise expire. Some
of the strategies that would be most feasible are sale and leaseback of
facilities and change in the method of tax depreciation.

Operations before income taxes to taxable income from Continuing Operations:

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In recent years, the Corporation has adopted several plans to dispose of major
segments of its business. In March 1996, the Corporation adopted a plan to exit
its environmental services line of business. Knoll and the defense and
electronic systems business were part of a plan adopted in December 1995. The
disposal of WCI was included in a July 1995 plan. Financial Services, DCBU, and
WESCO were part of a plan adopted in November 1992.
These businesses have been accounted for as discontinued operations in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the
Results of Operations--Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions" (APB 30).
The Corporation's March 1996 decision to exit its environmental services line
of business resulted in a first quarter 1996 after-tax charge of $146 million
for the estimated loss on disposal. The environmental services businesses are
expected to be divested within one year.
In December 1995, the Corporation adopted a plan to reduce debt incurred for
the acquisition of CBS through proceeds from the sale of its office furniture
and defense and electronic systems businesses. In December 1995, a definitive
agreement was reached to sell Knoll to Warburg, Pincus Ventures, L.P., an
affiliate of E. M. Warburg, Pincus & Company, for $565 million of cash. In
January 1996, an agreement was executed with Northrop Grumman Corporation for
the sale of the defense and electronic systems business for $3 billion of cash.
In addition, Northrop Grumman will assume approximately $500 million of pension
and postretirement liabilities associated with the active employees of the
business. These transactions, which are expected to result in an after-tax gain
ranging from $1.2 to 1.4 billion, are expected to be completed during the first
quarter of 1996. The net proceeds from these transactions will be used to repay
debt of Continuing Operations.
In July 1995, the Corporation sold WCI for $430 million of cash and retained
approximately $125 million of mortgage notes receivable with maturities through
1997 and other securities. In addition, the buyer assumed $19 million of debt.
Concurrently, the Corporation invested $48 million for a 24% equity interest in
the new business.
<PAGE> 10
10
The Corporation is actively pursuing the divestiture of this investment. The
net cash proceeds from the divestiture of WCI were used to repay debt of
Discontinued Operations. A net loss of $76 million was recognized on the
disposal.
In November 1992, the Corporation announced a plan that included exiting
Financial Services through the disposition of its $9 billion asset portfolios
and the sales of the Corporation's Distribution and Control Business Unit
(DCBU) and Westinghouse Electric Supply Company (WESCO). The disposition of
Financial Services assets involved the sale of the real estate and corporate
finance portfolios over a three-year period and the liquidation of the leasing
portfolio over a longer period of time in accordance with contractual terms.
Based on its quarterly review of the assumptions used in determining the
estimated loss from Discontinued Operations that was recorded in 1992, the
Corporation recorded an additional pre-tax provision for loss on disposal of
Discontinued Operations of $148 million in 1993.
On January 31, 1994, the Corporation completed the sale of DCBU, excluding its
Australian subsidiary, to Eaton Corporation for a purchase price of $1.1
billion of cash and the assumption by the buyer of certain liabilities. The
sale of the Australian subsidiary was completed in March 1994.
On February 28, 1994, the Corporation completed the sale of WESCO to an
affiliate of Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc., a private investment firm, for a
purchase price of approximately $340 million. The proceeds consisted of
approximately $275 million of cash, approximately $50 million of first mortgage
notes, and the remainder of stock and options of the new company.
The real estate and corporate portfolio investments of Financial Services
essentially have been liquidated. The leasing portfolio, which totalled $865
million at December 31, 1995, is expected to continue to liquidate through 2015
in accordance with contractual terms.
The net assets of Discontinued Operations totalled $1.7 billion at December 31,
1995. Following completion of the divestitures of Knoll and the defense and
electronic systems business in early 1996, the assets of Discontinued
Operations will consist primarily of the net assets of the environmental
services businesses, the remaining leasing portfolio of Financial Services, and
the remaining mortgage notes and securities of WCI. Liabilities will consist
primarily of short-term and long-term debt, deferred income taxes related to
the leveraged leases, and the liability for estimated loss on disposal of
Discontinued Operations.
In 1995, the Corporation reduced the debt of Discontinued Operations to that
amount which is supportable by the leasing portfolio and other miscellaneous
assets. The debt is expected to be repaid as the leasing portfolio liquidates
over its contractual term and through sales of such miscellaneous assets. To
match the maturities of assets and debt, the Corporation may from time to time
exchange debt obligations between Continuing and Discontinued Operations.
The remaining liability for the estimated loss on disposal of Discontinued
Operations at December 31, 1995 totalled $134 million. Management believes that
this liability is adequate to cover the future operating costs and estimated
credit losses related to Financial Services and the remaining costs associated
with WCI, DCBU and WESCO. The first quarter 1996 after-tax charge of $146
million is expected to cover future operating losses and divestiture costs
associated with its environmental services businesses.

Operating results for the year ended December 31, 1994 include the operating
results of DCBU for the month ended January 31, 1994 and of WESCO for the two
months ended February 28, 1994, their respective dates of sale.
Financial Services
During 1995, the Corporation continued to liquidate Financial Services,
reducing both assets and debt. Financial Services revenues of $31 million for
1995 decreased $10 million compared to 1994, reflecting the reduction in assets
through dispositions during 1995 and 1994. Revenues of $41 million for 1994
decreased $264 million compared to 1993 due primarily to a reduction of assets
through dispositions.
At December 31, 1995, Financial Services portfolio investments totalled $901
million, a decrease of $329 million from $1,230 million at year-end 1994.
Portfolio investments at December 31, 1995 and 1994, included $822 million and
$913 million, respectively, of receivables, and $79 million and $317 million,
respectively, of other portfolio investments. The receivables at year-end 1995
and 1994 consisted primarily of leasing receivables, while other portfolio
investments included real estate properties and investments in leasing and real
estate partnerships.
Leasing receivables consist of direct financing and leveraged leases. At
December 31, 1995 and 1994, 84% and 81%, respectively, related to aircraft, and
16% and 18%, respectively, related to cogeneration facilities.
WCI
In 1995, revenues for WCI, until its sale in July 1995, were $108 million.
Operating profit for the same period was $29 million.
Revenues for WCI decreased slightly to $248 million in 1994 compared to 1993
due to the continued weak real estate markets in California. These depressed
markets were partially offset by strong land and condominium sales in Coral
Springs and Naples, Florida. Included in 1994 operating profit was a $3 million
reduction of a $10 million restructuring charge taken in 1992. Included in 1993
operating profit was a restructuring charge of $4 million. Excluding the impact
of restructuring, operating profit was flat at $65 million in 1994 compared to
1993.
<PAGE> 12

Defense and Electronic Systems
Revenues for the defense and electronic systems business increased 16% to
$2,549 million in 1995 compared to 1994 and decreased 7% to $2,189 million in
1994 compared to 1993. In 1995, increased volume from the defense electronics
operations, including the Norden acquisition, air traffic control, and mail
processing systems, drove higher revenues. Lower revenues from Department of
Defense (DoD) contracts in 1994 were the primary cause of the decreased
revenues in that year.
Operating profit reflected restructuring charges of $49 million, $11 million
and $91 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Excluding these charges
in each of the three years, operating profit increased 12% in 1995 as a result
of the higher revenues. Operating profit decreased 10% to $218 million in 1994
compared to $241 million in 1993, primarily as a result of lower DoD revenues,
which were partially offset by savings from cost-reduction programs.
Knoll
In 1995, revenues for Knoll increased 10% to $621 million compared to 1994.
Increases in Knoll North America orders were the primary force behind the
increased revenues. Revenues for Knoll increased 10% to $562 million in 1994
compared to 1993 due to both market and market share growth in North America.
Knoll's operating profit of $60 million for 1995 represented a dramatic
turnaround of this business. A major restructuring program, resulting in
restructuring charges totalling $40 million in 1994 and $6 million in 1993, was
implemented beginning in mid-1994 and was substantially completed in 1995. The
results of this program were evident in both the North American and European
results for 1995. Excluding restructuring charges in all years, Knoll's
operating profit increased $81 million in 1995 compared to 1994 and the
operating loss for 1994 decreased $4 million compared to 1993. New products,
strong sales across all product lines and quick delivery programs contributed
to the dramatic improvement in operating profit in 1995.
Environmental Services
The environmental services business reported a decrease in sales for 1995 of
$36 million, primarily as a result of the sale of Aptus in March 1995. Revenues
in 1994 increased $18 million compared to 1993 due to increased volume in
hazardous waste remediation services and radioactive waste incineration.
Included in 1994 and 1993 operating losses were charges of $4 million and $25
million, respectively, for restructuring activities and other actions.
Excluding special charges, the operating loss of the environmental services
business increased $43 million in 1995 compared to 1994 and $1 million in 1994
compared to 1993. In addition to the special charges described above, the
operating loss in 1995 was unfavorably affected by a one-time charge of $30
million to recognize higher costs for disposal of secondary waste at the
Corporation's low-level radioactive waste treatment business. The operating
loss in 1994 increased primarily due to price compression in the hazardous
waste remediation and incineration markets.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
The Corporation manages its liquidity as a consolidated enterprise without
regard to whether assets or debt are classified for balance sheet purposes as
part of Continuing Operations or Discontinued Operations. As a result, the
discussion below focuses on the Corporation's consolidated cash flows and
capital structure.
During 1994, the Corporation took several actions to reduce its leverage and
rebuild its capital structure, including the continued liquidations of assets
of Discontinued Operations, the issuance of preferred stock and the reduction
of the common stock dividend. As a result, net debt (total debt less cash and
cash equivalents) was reduced by $1.7 billion.
Because of those actions taken in 1994 and the continued monetization in 1995
of non-strategic assets, the Corporation was able to embark on a major
transformation of its business portfolio. The Corporation acquired CBS for $5.4
billion and announced divestitures of its defense and electronic systems
business and Knoll for $3.6 billion of cash plus the assumption by one of the
buyers of employee benefit liabilities approximating $500 million. This major
portfolio shift to focus on broadcasting operations is expected to impact the
nature of the Corporation's cash flows in future periods.
<PAGE> 13
13
To complete the CBS acquisition, the Corporation negotiated a new credit
agreement to finance the entire purchase price of CBS, including transaction
fees, and to replace borrowings under the then existing revolving credit
agreements of both Westinghouse and CBS. In the first quarter of 1996, the
Corporation expects to complete the divestitures of both the defense and
electronic systems business and Knoll and to repay approximately 65% of the
acquisition debt.
Management believes that the higher financial leverage following the portfolio
transformation is supportable by the level of cash flows expected to be
generated by the Corporation's Continuing Operations.
The Corporation made substantial progress during 1995 in repaying
non-acquisition debt, exceeding the $1 billion target established a year ago.
The monetization of approximately $1.4 billion of non-strategic assets produced
cash proceeds of $430 million from WCI, more than $360 million from the
majority of the remaining real estate portfolio investments of Financial
Services, $305 million from investments held in two trusts that funded
non-qualified executive benefit plans, and approximately $300 million from
other non-strategic businesses.
Management expects that cash from Continuing Operations and availability under
its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility will continue to be sufficient to
meet future business needs. Other sources of liquidity generally available to
the Corporation include cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from sales of
non-strategic assets and borrowings from other sources, including funds from
the capital markets.
Operating Activities
The operating activities of Continuing Operations provided $424 million of cash
during 1995, an increase of $394 million from the amount provided in 1994.
Major factors contributing to this increase were reduced levels of receivables
and inventories, lower income tax payments and lower cash restructuring
expenditures.
Results of the Corporation's efforts to improve working capital turnover are
becoming evident in certain areas. Collections of receivables and reductions of
inventories provided $228 million of operating cash flows during 1995 compared
to uses of cash of $239 million in 1994 and $183 million in 1993.
Customers continue to demand more favorable payment terms under major
contracts, particularly in the power generation business. As a result, a
significant use of operating cash in both 1995 and 1994 involved an increase in
the Corporation's investment in long-term contracts.
Income tax payments and cash restructuring expenditures were lower in 1995 than
in the prior year. Accrued restructuring costs totalled $161 million at
year-end 1995 compared to $81 million at year-end 1994 and $222 million at
year-end 1993. Although restructuring initiatives are expected to continue,
these programs are not implemented unless the savings are substantial in
relation to the cost and are realizable in the near term. In general, savings
from restructuring programs implemented in recent years are beginning to
surpass the expenditures.
Cash contributions to the Corporation's pension plans totalled $315 million in
1995, which is consistent with the 1994 cash contribution level. In 1993,
however, the contribution consisted primarily of assets of Discontinued
Operations. The Corporation's contribution level for 1996 is expected to be in
the $200 million to $300 million range following the divestitures of Knoll and
the defense and electronic systems business. This contribution level is
consistent with the Corporation's goal to fully fund its qualified pension
plans over the next several years.
The operating activities of Discontinued Operations provided $269 million of
cash during 1995, used $84 million during 1994, and provided $442 million
during 1993. These cash flows consist primarily of cash provided by the
operations of the defense and electronic systems business, Knoll, and WCI,
offset by cash used in the operations of Financial Services and the
environmental services businesses, and for activities related to the
divestitures of DCBU and WESCO. The use of cash in 1994 resulted primarily
from significantly higher levels of interest and from DCBU and WESCO
divestiture costs.
Following the completion of the divestitures of the defense and electronic
systems business and Knoll in early 1996, operating cash requirements of
Discontinued Operations will consist primarily of interest costs on debt, which
has decreased substantially, remaining costs associated with the completed
divestitures, and operating and disposal costs associated with the
Corporation's environmental services businesses.
<PAGE> 14
14
Investing Activities
Investing activities used $4.3 billion of cash during 1995 after providing $1.4
billion of cash in 1994 and $2.7 billion in 1993. The completion of the CBS
acquisition in November 1995 for $5.4 billion of cash caused this significant
change. Acquisitions in 1994 included Norden Systems, a defense electronics
company; the KPIX-AM and FM radio stations in San Francisco; and a minority
interest in Group W radio for total cash expenditures of $109 million.
The Corporation completed the sales of several non-strategic businesses in
1995, generating cash proceeds of $683 million. Divestitures included the sale
of its WCI segment, as well as its interest in MICROS, Aptus, Inc., and several
smaller businesses. Noncash proceeds of approximately $100 million, consisting
primarily of notes, also were received in certain sales. During 1994, the
Corporation sold DCBU and WESCO for cash proceeds of approximately $1.4
billion. In addition, the sale of two radio stations and two non-strategic
businesses (Gladwin Corporation and Controlmatic) generated cash proceeds of
$68 million.
The Corporation generated $362 million of cash in 1995 through the continued
liquidation of assets of Financial Services representing the majority of the
remaining real estate portfolio investments. Cash proceeds from portfolio
investment liquidations in 1994 totalled $323 million. In 1993, the early
success of the liquidation plan for Financial Services assets resulted in the
generation of $4.9 billion of cash, which was partially offset by required
fundings of $2 billion.
The Corporation's total capital expenditures remained relatively stable over
the three-year period at approximately $250 million to $300 million. Capital
expenditures for Continuing Operations approximated $150 million to $200
million per year.
In 1995, the Corporation generated $305 million of cash through the sales of
investments held in two trusts that were established to fund executive benefit
plans. The trust investments were replaced with the Corporation's common stock.
The Corporation expects to continue to liquidate assets of Discontinued
Operations as well as its non-strategic assets. This includes completion of the
announced divestitures of the defense and electronic systems business and Knoll
for combined cash proceeds of $3.6 billion. Future acquisitions are expected to
be focused primarily in the broadcasting area.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities during 1995 totalled $3.5 billion
compared to cash used of $2.2 billion in 1994 and $3.8 billion in 1993. The
major fluctuation in 1995 was caused by the borrowings required to finance the
CBS acquisition. As a result, the Corporation's total debt increased $4.7
billion to $8.4 billion at December 31, 1995, from $3.7 billion at December 31,
1994.
In September 1995, the Corporation entered into three new bank facilities under
a credit agreement with a commitment level of $7.5 billion (see Credit
Facilities). Borrowings under the facilities, which occurred upon completion of
the CBS acquisition, were used to finance the purchase of CBS, including
transaction fees, and replace borrowings under existing revolvers. Total
borrowings under the new credit agreement were $5.1 billion at December 31,
1995.
In March 1994, the Corporation sold in a private placement depository shares
representing 3,600,000 shares of Series C preferred stock for net proceeds of
$505 million. These shares will convert to common shares in June 1997. The
Series B preferred stock, sold in June 1992, converted to 32,890,000 shares of
common stock on September 1, 1995.
At the beginning of 1994, the Corporation reduced its common stock dividend
from $.40 per share to $.20 per share. This reduction resulted in annual cash
savings to the Corporation of approximately $70 million. Dividends paid include
those for the Series C preferred stock issued in March 1994 and those for the
Series B preferred shares through their conversion date.
In 1992, the Corporation filed a registration statement on Form S-3 for the
issuance of up to $1 billion of debt securities. At December 31, 1995, $400
million of this shelf registration remained unused.
<PAGE> 15
15
Credit Facilities
In September 1995, the Corporation entered into three new bank facilities under
a credit agreement with a commitment level of $7.5 billion. These credit
facilities include two term loans of $2.5 billion each. The first term loan is
payable in two installments: $2 billion in November 1997 and $500 million in
May 1998. The second term loan is payable in quarterly installments beginning
in August 1998 through November 2002. Both term loans are subject to certain
mandatory prepayment provisions. Amounts repaid under both term loans may not
be reborrowed. In addition to these term loans, the credit agreement includes a
$2.5 billion revolving credit facility with a seven-year maturity that replaced
the Corporation's existing revolving credit facility as well as that of CBS.
Funds from these facilities have been used to finance the purchase of CBS, pay
certain transaction fees and replace borrowings under existing revolvers. The
interest rates for borrowings under the facilities are determined at the time
of each borrowing and are based on a floating rate index plus a margin based on
the Corporation's senior unsecured debt rating and leverage. See note 11 to the
financial statements.
The unused capacity under revolvers equalled $2,395 million and $1,581 million
at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Borrowing availability under the
revolving credit facility is subject to compliance with certain covenants,
representations and warranties, including a no material adverse change
provision with respect to the Corporation taken as a whole, restrictions on the
incurrence of liens, a maximum leverage ratio, minimum interest coverage ratio,
and minimum consolidated net worth. Certain of these covenants become more
restrictive over the term of the agreement. At December 31, 1995, the
Corporation was in compliance with these covenants.
Hedging Activities
The Corporation has entered into interest rate and currency exchange agreements
to manage the interest rate and currency risk associated with various debt
instruments. No transactions were speculative or leveraged. Given their nature,
these agreements have been accounted for as hedging transactions.
The Corporation's credit exposure under these agreements is limited to the cost
of replacing an agreement in the event of non-performance by its counterparty.
To minimize this risk, the Corporation has selected high credit quality
counterparties. At December 31, 1995, the aggregate credit exposure to
counterparties totalled approximately $72 million. This exposure resulted
primarily from an interest rate and currency swap with an A-rated counterparty.
The contract matured in February 1996.
In 1995, outstanding interest rate exchange agreements resulted in a net
increase in the average borrowing rate for Continuing Operations of 0.2% and a
net decrease in the average borrowing rate of Discontinued Operations of 0.2%.
Corresponding interest expense increased by approximately $6 million for
Continuing Operations and decreased by approximately $1 million for
Discontinued Operations.
The Corporation continually monitors its economic exposure to changes in
foreign exchange rates and enters into foreign exchange forward or option
contracts to hedge its transaction exposure when appropriate. As a result, the
Corporation's unhedged foreign exchange exposure is not significant.
Furthermore, changes in foreign exchange rates whether favorable or unfavorable
are not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation's financial
results or operating activities.
With respect to the Corporation's operations in highly inflationary and
unstable economies that are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 52,
"Foreign Currency Translation," the combined total sales for those operations
were approximately 0.5% of the Corporation's sales for 1995.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the
discharge of pollutants into the environment, the disposal of hazardous wastes
and other related activities affecting the environment have had and will
continue to have an impact on the Corporation. While it is difficult to
estimate the timing and ultimate costs to be incurred in the future due to
uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, technology, and
information available for individual sites, management has made estimates of
the probable and reasonably possible remediation costs that could be incurred
by the Corporation based on the facts and circumstances currently known. See
note 17 to the financial statements.
<PAGE> 16
16
At December 31, 1995, the Corporation had accrued liabilities totalling $166
million for sites where it has been either named a potentially responsible
party (PRP) or has other remedial responsibilities, $28 million for sites that
have been divested and the Corporation has remedial or compliance obligations,
$61 million for the Bloomington sites and $29 million for environmental closure
activities at facilities where the Corporation has ongoing operations. Also, in
conjunction with its Discontinued Operations, the Corporation has provided for
remediation costs related to past operations of certain sites.
Annual environmental costs include approximately $5 million for estimated
future environmental closure costs at operating sites and approximately $6
million related to current management of hazardous waste and pollutants.
Capital expenditures for environmental compliance, which totalled $6 million in
1995, may vary from year to year.
Management believes, based on its best estimate, that the Corporation has
adequately provided for its present environmental obligations and that
complying with existing government regulations will not materially impact the
Corporation's financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
LEGAL MATTERS
The Corporation is defending a number of lawsuits on various matters. See note
17 to the financial statements. Costs to defend these lawsuits are charged to
operations in the period in which the services are rendered.
Since 1993, the Corporation has entered into agreements to resolve seven
litigation claims in connection with alleged tube degradation in steam
generators sold by the Corporation as components for nuclear steam supply
systems. These agreements generally require the Corporation to provide certain
products and services at prices discounted at varying rates. The future impact
of these discounts on operating results will be incurred over the next 15 years
with the greatest impact occurring during the next nine years.
Litigation is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. Substantial
damages are sought in certain of the Corporation's pending cases and, although
management believes a significant adverse judgment is unlikely, any such
judgment could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's results of
operations for a quarter or a year. However, based on its understanding and
evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, management believes that
the Corporation has meritorious defenses to the litigation referenced above,
and management believes that the litigation should not have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition of the Corporation.
INSURANCE RECOVERIES
Prior to 1995, the Corporation filed actions against more than 100 of its
insurance carriers seeking recovery for environmental, product and property
damage liabilities, and certain other matters. The Corporation has settled with
the majority of these carriers and has received recoveries related to these
actions. The Corporation has not accrued for any future insurance recoveries.
OTHER
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed Of," which establishes accounting standards for the impairment
of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to
those assets to be held and used, and for long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. This statement is effective
beginning in 1996. Although the Corporation has not yet completed its
evaluation of the effect that implementation of this new standard will have on
its results of operations and financial position, management believes that a
charge to operations upon adoption is reasonably possible.
In 1996, the Corporation also plans to adopt the pro forma disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." See note
1 to the financial statements.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
The Corporation has prepared the consolidated financial statements and related
financial information included in this report. Management has the primary
responsibility for the financial statements and other financial information and
for ascertaining that the data fairly reflect the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows of the Corporation. The financial statements were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
appropriate in the circumstances, and necessarily include amounts that are
based on best estimates and judgments with appropriate consideration given to
materiality. Financial information included elsewhere in this report is
presented on a basis consistent with the financial statements.
The Corporation maintains a system of internal accounting controls, supported
by adequate documentation, to provide reasonable assurance that assets are
safeguarded and that the books and records reflect the authorized transactions
of the Corporation. Limitations exist in any system of internal accounting
controls based on the recognition that the cost of the system should not exceed
the benefits derived. Westinghouse believes its system of internal accounting
controls, augmented by its corporate auditing function, appropriately balances
the cost/benefit relationship.
The independent accountants provide an objective assessment of the degree to
which management meets its responsibility for fair financial reporting. They
regularly evaluate elements of the internal control structure and perform such
tests and procedures as they deem necessary to express an opinion on the
fairness of the financial statements.
The Board of Directors pursues its responsibility for the Corporation's
financial statements through its Audit Review Committee composed of directors
who are not officers or employees of the Corporation. The Audit Review
Committee meets regularly with the independent accountants, management and the
corporate auditors. The independent accountants and the corporate auditors have
direct access to the Audit Review Committee, with and without the presence of
management representatives, to discuss the scope and results of their audit
work and their comments on the adequacy of internal accounting controls and the
quality of financial reporting.
We believe that the Corporation's policies and procedures, including its system
of internal accounting controls, provide reasonable assurance that the
financial statements are prepared in accordance with the applicable securities
laws and with a corresponding standard of business conduct.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Westinghouse Electric Corporation
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements appearing on
pages 19 through 56 of this Form 8-K present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Westinghouse Electric Corporation and its
subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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
generally accepted auditing standards 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 the
opinion expressed above. We have not audited the consolidated financial
statements of the Corporation and its subsidiaries for any period subsequent to
December 31, 1995.
As discussed in note 1 to these financial statements, the Corporation adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits," in 1993.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Westinghouse
Electric Corporation (Westinghouse) and its subsidiary companies (together, the
Corporation) after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.
Investments in joint ventures and other companies in which the Corporation does
not control but has the ability to exercise significant management influence
over operating and financial policies are accounted for by the equity method.
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
1995 presentation.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In December 1995, the Corporation announced a plan to divest its defense and
electronic systems business and The Knoll Group (Knoll), its office furniture
unit. In July 1995, the Corporation sold WCI Communities, Inc. (WCI), its land
development subsidiary. The Corporation's defense and electronic systems
business represented a separate major line of business that comprised
approximately 90% of the former Electronic Systems segment. Knoll and WCI were
previously reported as separate industry segments in Continuing Operations. In
March 1996, the Corporation adopted a plan to exit its environmental services
line of business included in its former Government & Environmental Services
segment.
As a result, certain financial information previously issued has been restated
to give effect to the classification of these businesses as discontinued
operations in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30,
"Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" (APB
30). See note 3 to the financial statements. The Corporation previously
classified as Discontinued Operations its Distribution and Control Business
Unit (DCBU), Westinghouse Electric Supply Company (WESCO) and its Financial
Services businesses in conjunction with a 1992 plan to exit these businesses.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales are recorded primarily as products are shipped and services are rendered.
The percentage-of-completion method of accounting is used for major power
generation systems with a cycle time in excess of one year and major nuclear
fuel and related equipment orders.
Sales for the Corporation's broadcasting business have been restated due to the
first quarter 1996 elimination of agency commissions as a component of sales
and costs.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Identifiable intangible assets related to the Corporation's broadcasting
business primarily include Federal Communications Commission (FCC) licenses,
which are limited as to availability and have historically appreciated in value
with the passage of time. These identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are
amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated lives but not in
excess of 40 years.
For the Corporation's industry and technology businesses, goodwill and other
acquired intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over
their estimated lives but not in excess of 40 years for assets acquired prior
to January 1, 1994 and not in excess of 15 years for assets acquired after
December 31, 1993.
Subsequent to the acquisition of an intangible asset, the Corporation
continually evaluates whether later events and circumstances indicate the
remaining estimated useful life of an intangible asset may warrant revision or
that the remaining balance of such an asset may not be recoverable. When
factors indicate that an intangible asset should be evaluated for possible
impairment, the Corporation uses an estimate of the related business'
undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining life of the asset in
measuring whether the intangible asset is recoverable. If such an analysis
indicates that impairment has in fact occurred, the Corporation writes down the
book value of the intangible asset to its fair market value.
<PAGE> 23
23
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Corporation considers all investment securities with a maturity of three
months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. All cash and temporary
investments are placed with high-credit quality financial institutions, and the
amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution is limited. At
December 31, 1995 and 1994, cash and cash equivalents included restricted funds
of $42 million and $61 million, respectively.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates actual
cost on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, or market. The elements of cost
included in inventories are direct labor, direct material and certain overheads
including factory depreciation. Long-term contracts in process include costs
incurred plus estimated profits on contracts accounted for using the
percentage-of-completion method.
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Plant and equipment assets are recorded at cost and depreciated generally using
the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is
generally computed on the straight-line method based on useful lives of 27.5-60
years for buildings, 20 years for land improvements, 3-10 years for office
equipment, and 3-12 years for machinery and transportation equipment. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases.
Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, and costs for
repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. The Corporation
limits capitalization of newly acquired assets to those assets with cost in
excess of $1,500.
PROGRAM RIGHTS
Costs incurred in connection with the production of, or the purchase of rights
to, programs to be broadcast within one year are classified as current assets
while costs of those programs to be broadcast subsequently are considered
noncurrent. Program costs are charged to expense as the respective programs are
broadcast.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS
The Corporation expenses or capitalizes, if appropriate under the Corporation's
capitalization policy, environmental expenditures that relate to current
operations. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past
operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation
are expensed. The Corporation records liabilities when environmental
assessments or remedial efforts are probable, and the costs can be reasonably
estimated. Such estimates are adjusted if necessary based on the completion of
a formal study or the Corporation's commitment to a formal plan of action.
The Corporation accrues over their estimated remaining useful lives the
anticipated future costs of environmental closure activities and
decommissioning nuclear licensed sites.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET HEDGING
Debt Instruments
The Corporation has entered into interest rate and currency exchange agreements
to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates.
Interest rate exchange agreements generally involve the exchange of interest
payments without exchange of the underlying principal amounts. The Corporation
does not enter into speculative or leveraged derivative transactions.
The differentials paid or received on interest rate swap agreements are accrued
and recognized as adjustments to interest expense; gains and losses realized
upon early settlement of these agreements are deferred and amortized to
interest expense over the term of the original agreement if the underlying
hedged debt instrument remains outstanding or expensed immediately if the
underlying hedged instrument is settled. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the
Corporation had no deferred gains or losses from terminated interest rate swaps
recorded on its balance sheet.
<PAGE> 24
24
Foreign Exchange
The Corporation's foreign exchange policy includes matching purchases and sales
in national currencies when possible and hedging unmatched transactions in
excess of $250,000. In accordance with this policy, the Corporation has entered
into various foreign exchange agreements in which it sells a currency forward
to hedge a receivable or purchases a currency forward to hedge a payable.
Gains and losses on foreign currency contracts offset gains and losses
resulting from currency fluctuations inherent in the underlying transactions.
Gains and losses on contracts that hedge specific foreign currency commitments
are deferred and recognized in net income in the period in which the
transaction is consummated.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis,
management reviews its estimates, including those related to litigation and
environmental liabilities, based on currently available information. Changes in
facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
In December 1993, the Corporation adopted, retroactive to January 1, 1993,
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." This statement requires employers to
adopt accrual accounting for workers' compensation, salary continuation,
medical and life insurance continuation, severance benefits and disability
benefits provided to former or inactive employees after employment but before
retirement. The Corporation's previous practice was to expense these costs as
incurred. See note 5 to the financial statements.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed Of," which establishes accounting standards for the impairment
of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to
those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. This statement requires that those
assets to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable, and those assets to be disposed of be reported at
the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. This statement is
effective beginning in 1996. The Corporation is currently evaluating the effect
that implementation of this new standard will have on its results of operations
and financial position.
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards
for stock-based employee compensation plans. The statement defines a fair value
based method of accounting for an employee stock option and allows companies to
continue to measure compensation cost for such plans using the intrinsic value
based method of accounting prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees." Beginning in 1996, companies electing to remain
with accounting under APB 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and
earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been
applied. The Corporation plans to continue accounting for its stock-based
employee compensation plans under APB 25 and will present the pro forma
disclosures required under this statement in 1996.
NOTE 2: CBS ACQUISITION
On November 24, 1995, pursuant to the terms of a merger agreement, the
Corporation acquired CBS Inc. (CBS) for a purchase price of approximately $5.4
billion. The acquisition was financed by borrowings under a $7.5 billion credit
agreement executed in September 1995.
The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method. Accordingly, the
purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess of the
consideration paid over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired,
totalling $4.8 billion, has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on
a straight-line basis over 40 years.

The Corporation's Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December
31, 1995 includes the operating results of CBS from the acquisition date. The
following unaudited pro forma information combines the consolidated results of
operations of the Corporation with those of CBS as if the acquisition had
occurred at the beginning of 1995 and 1994, after giving effect to certain
purchase accounting adjustments, including additional depreciation expense
resulting from a step-up in basis of fixed assets, additional amortization
expense from goodwill and other identified intangible assets, increased
interest expense from acquisition debt and related income tax effects.

NOTE 3: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In March 1996, the Corporation adopted a plan to exit its environmental
services line of business included in its former Government & Environmental
Services segment. During the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation recorded an
after-tax charge for the estimated loss on disposal of $146 million.
In December 1995, the Corporation adopted a plan to reduce debt incurred for
the acquisition of CBS through the sale of Knoll and its defense and electronic
systems business. In December 1995, a definitive agreement was reached to sell
Knoll to Warburg, Pincus Ventures, L.P., an affiliate of E. M. Warburg, Pincus
& Company, for $565 million of cash. In January 1996, an agreement was executed
with Northrop Grumman Corporation for the sale of the defense and electronic
systems business for $3 billion of cash. In addition, Northrop Grumman will
assume approximately $500 million of pension and postretirement benefit
liabilities associated with the active employees of the business. These
transactions, which are expected to result in a combined after-tax gain ranging
from $1.2 to $1.4 billion, are expected to be completed during the first
quarter of 1996. The gain will be recognized when realized. The net proceeds
from these transactions will be used to repay debt of Continuing Operations.

In July 1995, the Corporation sold WCI for $430 million of cash and retained
approximately $125 million of mortgage notes receivable with maturities through
1997 and other securities. In addition, the buyer assumed $19 million of debt.
Concurrently, the Corporation invested $48 million for a 24% equity interest in
the new business. The Corporation is actively pursuing the divestiture of this
investment. The net cash proceeds from the divestiture of WCI were used to
repay debt of Discontinued Operations. A net loss of $76 million was recognized
on the disposal.
In November 1992, the Corporation announced a plan that included exiting
Financial Services through the disposition of its $9 billion asset portfolios
and the sales of DCBU and WESCO. The disposition of Financial Services assets
involved the sale of the real estate and corporate finance portfolios over a
three-year period and the liquidation of the leasing portfolio over a longer
period of time in accordance with contractual terms.
Based on its quarterly review of the assumptions used in determining the
estimated loss from Discontinued Operations that was recorded in 1992, the
Corporation recorded an additional pre-tax provision for loss on disposal of
Discontinued Operations of $148 million in 1993. This change in the estimated
loss resulted from a reduction of the expected selling prices of WESCO and an
Australian subsidiary of DCBU; a decision to sell in bulk a Financial Services
residential development that the Corporation, upon adoption of the Plan, had
intended to develop; and a revision to the estimated interest costs expected to
be incurred by the Discontinued Operations during the disposal period.
During the first quarter of 1994, the Corporation completed the sales of DCBU
and WESCO for proceeds in excess of $1.1 billion and approximately $340
million, respectively.
The assets and liabilities of Discontinued Operations have been separately
classified on the balance sheet as net assets of Discontinued Operations. A
summary of these assets and liabilities follows:

In 1995, the Corporation reduced the debt of Discontinued Operations to that
amount which it believes is supportable by the leasing portfolio and other
miscellaneous assets. The debt is expected to be repaid as the leasing
portfolio liquidates over its contractual term and through sales of such
miscellaneous assets.
Management believes that the net proceeds anticipated from the continued
liquidation of assets of Discontinued Operations will be sufficient to fund
Discontinued Operations. Management further believes that the liability for the
estimated loss on disposal of Discontinued Operations is adequate to cover
future operating costs and estimated credit losses related to Financial
Services and the remaining costs associated with WCI, DCBU and WESCO. The
adequacy of this liability is evaluated each quarter. The first quarter 1996
after-tax charge of $146 million is expected to cover future operating losses
and divestiture costs associated with the environmental services businesses.

NOTE 4: PENSIONS
The Corporation has a number of defined benefit pension plans covering
substantially all employees. Most plan benefits are based on either years of
service and compensation levels at the time of retirement or a formula based on
career earnings. Pension benefits are paid primarily from trusts funded by the
Corporation and employee contributions. The Corporation funds its qualified
U.S. pension plans at amounts equal to or greater than the minimum funding
requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
Substantially all plan assets are invested in stocks, fixed income securities,
and real estate investments. The Corporation also participates in various
multi-employer, union-administered defined benefit plans that cover certain
broadcast employees as a result of the acquisition of CBS. Pension expense
related to these plans for 1995 was not material.

The Corporation's restructuring activities contributed to a high level of
lump-sum cash distributions from the Corporation's pension fund during 1994.
The magnitude of these cash distributions required that the Corporation apply
the provisions of SFAS No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and
Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits,"
and recognize a settlement loss of $308 million in 1994. This noncash charge to
income represents the pro rata portion of unrecognized losses associated with
the pension obligation that was settled. The recognition of this settlement
loss in 1994 reduced the amortization of unrecognized net loss included in net
periodic pension cost for 1995.
A curtailment charge of $22 million related to the 1993 restructuring
activities was included in the loss from Continuing Operations for the year
ended December 31, 1993. See note 20 to the financial statements.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
The requirement of SFAS No. 87 to adjust the discount rate to reflect current
and expected-to-be available interest rates on high quality fixed income
investments resulted in a decrease in the Corporation's assumed discount rate
from 8.5% at December 31, 1994 to 6.75% at December 31, 1995.
Net periodic pension cost is determined using the assumptions as of the
beginning of the year. The funded status is determined using the assumptions as
of the end of the year.

Included in plan assets at December 31, 1995 are 5,612,600 shares of the
Corporation's common stock having a market value of approximately $92 million.
Dividends paid by the Corporation during 1995 on shares held by the pension
fund totalled approximately $1 million.
During 1995 and 1994, respectively, the Corporation contributed $315 million
and $310 million of cash to its pension plans.
The accumulated benefit obligation in excess of assets at December 31, 1995
increased $691 million compared to December 31, 1994. This increase represents
the net effect of numerous factors but was driven primarily by the change in
the discount rate assumption from 8.5% to 6.75%.
The Corporation sponsors various non-qualified supplemental pension plans that
provide additional benefits to certain employees and are paid from the
Corporation's assets held in rabbi trusts. The unfunded accumulated benefit
obligation under these plans at December 31, 1995 included in the table above
was $286 million.
The pending first quarter 1996 sale of the Corporation's defense and electronic
systems business is expected to reduce the Corporation's unfunded accumulated
benefit obligation by $398 million as certain pension obligations are being
assumed by the buyer. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, included in the balance
sheet of Continuing and Discontinued Operations are the following pension
assets and liabilities:

</TABLE>
For financial reporting purposes, a pension plan is considered unfunded when
the fair value of plan assets is less than the accumulated benefit obligation.
When that is the case, a minimum pension liability is recognized for the sum of
the unfunded amount plus any prepaid pension cost. In recognizing such a
liability, an intangible asset is usually recorded up to the sum of the prior
service cost not yet recognized and the unrecognized transition obligation.
When the liability to be recognized is greater than the intangible asset limit,
a charge is made to shareholders' equity for the difference, net of any tax
effects.
At December 31, 1995, a minimum pension liability of $1,925 million was
recognized for the sum of the unfunded amount of $1,865 million plus the
prepaid pension cost of $60 million. An intangible asset of $66 million and a
charge to shareholders' equity of $1,859 million, which was reduced to $1,220
million due to deferred tax effects of $639 million, offset the pension
liability. As a result of this remeasurement, year-end 1995 shareholders'
equity was decreased by $258 million from December 31, 1994.
At December 31, 1994, a minimum pension liability of $1,577 million was
recognized for the sum of the unfunded amount of $1,174 million plus the
prepaid pension cost of $403 million. An intangible asset of $114 million and a
charge to shareholders' equity of $1,463 million, which was reduced to $962
million due to deferred tax effects of $501 million, offset the pension
liability. As a result of this remeasurement, year-end 1994 shareholders'
equity was increased by $253 million from December 31, 1993.
NOTE 5: POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

Net periodic postretirement benefit cost is determined using the assumptions as

</TABLE>
The accrued postretirement benefit cost for Discontinued Operations at December
31, 1995 and 1994 was $108 million and $111 million, respectively, which is
included in the net assets of Discontinued Operations. These liabilities are
being assumed by the buyers of the Corporation's defense and electronic systems
business and Knoll.
The funded assets consist primarily of interest bearing securities. The effect
of a 1% annual increase in the assumed health care cost trend rates would
increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately $95
million and would increase net periodic postretirement benefit cost by
approximately $8 million.
Certain of the Corporation's non-U.S. subsidiaries have private and
government-sponsored plans for retirees. The cost for these plans is not
significant to the Corporation.
The Corporation provides certain postemployment benefits to former or inactive
employees and their dependents during the time period following employment but
before retirement. In December 1993, the Corporation adopted retroactive to
January 1, 1993, SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits." Prior to 1993, postemployment benefits were recognized primarily as
they were paid. The Corporation's charge for adoption of SFAS No. 112 at
January 1, 1993 was $56 million, net of $30 million of deferred taxes, and was
immediately recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for
postemployment benefits.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Corporation's liability for postemployment
benefits totalled $98 million and $77 million, respectively. The liability for

Deferred federal income taxes for 1993 include a benefit of $62 million
resulting from the enactment of an increase in the statutory federal income tax
rate from 34% to 35%.
In addition to the amounts in the tables above, during 1995, 1994 and 1993,
$138 million of income tax benefit, $132 million of income tax expense and $378
million of income tax benefit, respectively, were recorded in shareholders'
equity as part of the pension liability adjustment. See note 4 to the financial
statements.
The foreign portion of income or loss before income taxes and minority interest
in income of consolidated subsidiaries included in the consolidated statement
of income was income of $128 million in 1995 and losses of $34 million in 1994
and $6 million in 1993. Such income or loss consisted of profits and losses
generated from foreign operations (both Continuing and Discontinued) that can
be subject to both U.S. and foreign income taxes.
<PAGE> 35

Deferred federal income taxes have not been provided on cumulative
undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries totalling $432 million at
December 31, 1995 in which the earnings have been reinvested for an indefinite
time. It is not practicable to determine the income tax liability that would
result were such earnings repatriated.
Income from Continuing Operations includes income of certain manufacturing
operations in Puerto Rico, which are eligible for tax credits against U.S.
federal income tax and partially exempt from Puerto Rican income tax under
grants of industrial tax exemptions. These tax exemptions provided net tax
benefits of $17 million in 1995, $14 million in 1994 and $17 million in 1993.
The exemptions will expire at various dates from 2002 through 2007.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the financial bases
and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The types of differences that give
rise to significant portions of deferred income tax liabilities or assets are
shown in the accompanying table:

</TABLE>
The valuation allowance for deferred taxes represents foreign tax credits not
anticipated to be utilized and operating loss carryforwards of certain foreign
subsidiaries. The net balance of deferred income taxes is intended to offset
income taxes on future taxable income expected to be earned by the
Corporation's Continuing Operations.
At December 31, 1995, for federal income tax purposes, there were regular tax
net operating loss carryforwards of $416 million which expire by the year 2007,
$2,462 million which expire by the year 2008, and $351 million which expire by
the year 2010. At December 31, 1995, for alternative minimum tax purposes,
there were loss carryforwards of $151 million which expire by the year 2007,
$2,390 million which expire by the year 2008, $38 million which expire by the
year 2010 and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $211 million
which have no expiration date. At December 31, 1995, there were $172 million of
net operating loss carryforwards attributable to foreign subsidiaries. Of this
total, approximately $41 million has no expiration date. The remaining amount
will expire not later than 2002. A valuation allowance has been established for
$58 million of the deferred tax benefit related to those loss carryforwards for
which it is considered likely that the benefit will not be realized.

The federal income tax returns of the Corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiaries are settled through the year ended December 31, 1989. The
Corporation has reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service
regarding intercompany pricing adjustments applicable to operations in Puerto
Rico for the years 1990 through 1992 and a tentative agreement for 1993.
Management believes that adequate provisions for taxes have been made through
December 31, 1995.
NOTE 7: CUSTOMER RECEIVABLES
Customer receivables at December 31, 1995 included $120 million, which
represented the sales value of material shipped under long-term contracts but
not billed to the customer. Billings will occur upon shipment of major
components of the contract. Collection of these receivables is expected to be
substantially completed within one year.
Allowances for doubtful accounts of $35 million and $50 million at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively, were deducted from customer receivables. The
Corporation performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally
does not require collateral.

Joint ventures and other affiliates include investments in companies over which
the Corporation exercises significant influence but does not control.
NOTE 11: SHORT-TERM DEBT
In September 1995, the Corporation entered into three new bank facilities under
a credit agreement with a commitment level of $7.5 billion. These credit
facilities include two term loans of $2.5 billion each. The first term loan is
payable in two installments: $2 billion in November 1997 and $500 million in
May 1998. The second term loan is payable in quarterly installments from August
1998 through November 2002. See note 13 to the financial statements. In
addition to these term loans, the credit agreement includes a $2.5 billion
revolving credit facility with a seven-year maturity.
Funds from these facilities have been used to finance the purchase of CBS, pay
certain transaction fees, and replace borrowings under the previous revolvers.
Availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to compliance with
certain covenants, representations and warranties, including a no material
adverse change provision with respect to the Corporation taken as a whole,
restrictions on the incurrence of liens, a maximum leverage ratio, minimum
interest coverage ratio and minimum consolidated net worth. Certain of these
covenants become more restrictive over the terms of the facilities. At December
31, 1995, the Corporation was in compliance with these covenants.
Interest rates for borrowings under the facilities are determined at the time
of each borrowing and are based generally on a floating rate index, the London
Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR), plus a margin based on the Corporation's senior
unsecured debt rating and leverage. The cost of the facilities includes
commitment fees, which are based on the unutilized facilities and vary with the
Corporation's debt ratings and leverage.
There are no compensating balance requirements under the facilities.

In March 1994, the Corporation sold, in a private placement, 36,000,000
depository shares (the $1.30 Depository Shares) at $14.44 per share. Each of
the $1.30 Depository Shares represents ownership of one-tenth of a share of the
Corporation's $1.00 par value Series C Conversion Preferred Stock (Series C
Preferred) and entitles the owner to all of the proportionate rights,
preferences and privileges of the Series C Preferred. A total of 3,600,000
Series C Preferred shares was deposited, all of which were outstanding at
December 31, 1995 and 1994.
The net proceeds to the Corporation, after commissions, fees and out-of-pocket
expenses, totalled $505 million. As a result, the par value of Series C
Preferred was established for $4 million, and capital in excess of par was
increased by $501 million.
<PAGE> 44
44
The annual dividend rate for each $1.30 Depository Share is $1.30 (equivalent
to $13.00 for each Series C Preferred), payable quarterly in arrears on the
first day of March, June, September and December. Dividends are cumulative and
must be declared by the Board of Directors to be payable. Payments commenced on
June 1, 1994.
Each $1.30 Depository Share will automatically convert into one share of common
stock on June 1, 1997 unless called on May 30, 1997 by the Corporation or
converted at any time prior to June 1, 1997 by the holder. Conversion will also
occur upon certain mergers, consolidations or similar extraordinary
transactions involving the Corporation or in certain other events.
On September 1, 1995, the Corporation's 8,222,500 shares of Series B Conversion
Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred), outstanding since 1992, mandatorily
converted into 32,890,000 shares of common stock.

</TABLE>
Of the common stock held in treasury at December 31, 1995, 21,132,376 shares
were held by the Corporation's rabbi trusts for the payment of benefits under
executive benefit plans.
Earnings (loss) per common share was computed by dividing income or loss
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average common stock
equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist of shares subject to stock
options, shares potentially issuable under deferred compensation programs, and
as discussed below, the Series B Preferred. For this computation, net income or
loss was adjusted for the after-tax interest expense applicable to the deferred
compensation programs.
The Series B Preferred were considered common stock equivalents at a rate of
four Series B Preferred to one common share. Because such treatment has an
anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share for 1995, 1994 and 1993, these
common stock equivalent shares were excluded from weighted average shares
outstanding, and the dividend requirement was deducted from net income in
computing earnings available to common shareholders.
For the calculation of primary earnings per share, the common shares issued
upon conversion of the Series B Preferred were included in weighted average
shares outstanding from the conversion date, September 1, 1995. For the
calculation of fully diluted earnings per share, the Series B Preferred were
treated as common shares outstanding from January 1, 1995, the first day of the
period of conversion.
Consistent with prevalent practice at the time of issuance, the Series C
Preferred were considered outstanding common stock at a rate of ten Series C
Preferred to one common share for both primary and fully diluted earnings per
share. If the Series C Preferred had been treated as common stock equivalents
for the calculation of net income per share, the Corporation's 1995 and 1994
primary per share results would have been a loss of $.18 and $.02,
respectively. Fully diluted per share results would have been a loss of $.08
for 1995 and $.02 for 1994.
<PAGE> 45
45
The weighted average number of common shares used for computing primary
earnings or loss per share was 410,138,000 in 1995, 383,736,000 in 1994, and
352,902,000 in 1993. The weighted average number of common shares used for
computing fully diluted earnings or loss per share was 433,191,000 in 1995,
383,790,000 in 1994, and 355,358,000 in 1993.
On December 29, 1995, the Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan
providing for the distribution of one right for each share of common stock
outstanding on January 9, 1996. The rights become exercisable only in the
event, with certain exceptions, an acquiring party accumulates 15% or more of
the Corporation's voting stock or a party announces an offer to acquire 30% or
more of the voting stock. The rights have an exercise price of $64 per share
and expire on January 9, 2006. Upon the occurrence of certain events, holders
of the rights will be entitled to purchase either Westinghouse preferred shares
or shares in an acquiring entity at half of market value. The Corporation is
entitled to redeem the rights at a value of $.01 per right at any time until
the tenth day following the acquisition of a 15% position in its voting stock.
NOTE 16: STOCK OPTIONS
The 1993 and 1991 Long-Term Incentive Plans provide for the granting of stock
options and other performance awards to employees of the Corporation.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, approximately 11.1 million and 7.5 million
shares, respectively, had been authorized for awards under the 1993 Plan.
Shares available for stock options and other awards under the 1993 Plan at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 totalled 3,249,228 and 3,435,107, respectively. At
December 31, 1995 and 1994, a total of 16.5 million and 9 million shares,
respectively, had been authorized for awards under the 1991 Plan. Shares
available for stock options and other awards under the 1991 Plan at December
31, 1995 and 1994 totalled 3,407,931 and 775,671, respectively.
Stock options are also outstanding under the 1984 Long-Term Incentive Plan;
however, no additional grants are permitted under that plan.
The option price under the Plans may not be less than the fair market value of
the shares on the grant date. The options were granted for terms of 10 years or
less and generally become exercisable in whole or in part after the
commencement of the second year of the term.
Generally, options outstanding under the 1993, 1991 and 1984 Plans, except
those granted during 1995, were exercisable at December 31, 1995. Options
granted during 1995 under the 1993 and 1991 Plans generally will not be
exercisable until 1996. Outstanding options have expiration dates ranging from
1996 through 2005.
Of the options granted by the Corporation in 1995, 2,423,060 were performance
stock options. The vesting of these options is contingent on attainment of
specific performance targets. If the targets are not met, the options
terminate; if they are met, the options become exercisable. One-half of these
options lapsed in January 1996 because the stretch performance targets for 1995
were not met. The remaining performance options are contingent on 1996
performance.

In 1995, the shareholders approved stock options for non-employee directors.
The Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan for Directors generally provides for
an annual grant of 3,000 options to each non-employee director and an
additional grant of 750 options to committee chairs. For each of the grants,
two-thirds of the options have an exercise price equal to the fair market value
of the common stock on the grant date. The remaining one-third of the options
have an exercise price equal to 125% of the fair market value on the grant
date. These options may be exercised by each of the directors immediately
following the grant date.
NOTE 17: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS
URANIUM SETTLEMENTS
In the late seventies, the Corporation provided for the estimated future costs
for the resolution of all uranium supply contract suits and related litigation.
The remaining uranium reserve balance includes assets required for certain
settlement obligations and reserves for estimated future costs. The reserve
balance at December 31, 1995, is deemed adequate considering all facts and
circumstances known to management. The future obligations require providing the
remainder of the fuel deliveries running through 2013. The supply of equipment
and services is essentially complete. Variances from estimates which may occur
are considered in determining if an adjustment of the liability is necessary.
LITIGATION
Steam Generators
The Corporation has been defending various lawsuits brought by utilities
claiming a substantial amount of damages in connection with alleged tube
degradation in steam generators sold by the Corporation as components of
nuclear steam supply systems. Since 1993, settlement agreements have been
entered resolving seven litigation claims. These agreements generally require
the Corporation to provide certain products and services at prices discounted
at varying rates. Two cases were resolved in favor of the Corporation after
trial or arbitration. Four steam generator lawsuits remain.
The Corporation is also a party to five tolling agreements with utilities or
utility plant owners' groups which have asserted steam generator claims. The
tolling agreements delay initiation of any litigation for various specified
periods of time and permit the parties time to engage in discussions.
Securities Class Actions--Financial Services
The Corporation is defending derivative and class action lawsuits alleging
federal securities law and common law violations arising out of purported
misstatements or omissions contained in the Corporation's public filings
concerning the financial condition of the Corporation and certain of its former
subsidiaries in connection with charges to earnings of $975 million in 1990 and
$1,680 million in 1991 and a public offering of Westinghouse common stock in
1991. The court dismissed both the derivative claim and the class action claims
in their entirety. These dismissals have been appealed.
<PAGE> 47
47
Asbestos
The Corporation is a defendant in numerous lawsuits claiming various
asbestos-related personal injuries, which allegedly occurred from use or
inclusion of asbestos in certain of the Corporation's products, generally in
the pre-1970 time period. Typically, these lawsuits are brought against
multiple defendants. The Corporation was neither a manufacturer nor a producer
of asbestos and is oftentimes dismissed from these lawsuits on the basis that
the Corporation has no relationship to the products in question or the claimant
did not have exposure to the Corporation's product. At December 31, 1995, the
Corporation had approximately 75,000 claims outstanding against it.
In court actions which have been resolved, the Corporation has prevailed in the
vast majority of the asbestos claims and has resolved others through
settlement. Furthermore, the Corporation has brought suit against certain of
its insurance carriers with respect to these asbestos claims. Under the terms
of a settlement agreement resulting from this suit, carriers which have agreed
to the settlement are now reimbursing the Corporation for a substantial portion
of its current costs and settlements associated with asbestos claims.
Litigation is inherently uncertain and always difficult to predict. Substantial
damages are sought in the steam generator claims, the securities class action
and certain groupings of asbestos claims and, although management believes a
significant adverse judgment is unlikely, any such judgment could have a
material adverse effect on the Corporation's results of operations for a
quarter or a year. However, based on its understanding and evaluation of the
relevant facts and circumstances, management believes that the Corporation has
meritorious defenses to the litigation described above, and management believes
that the litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition of the Corporation.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the
discharge of pollutants into the environment, the disposal of hazardous wastes,
and other related activities affecting the environment have had and will
continue to have an impact on the Corporation. While it is difficult to
estimate the timing and ultimate costs to be incurred in the future due to
uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, technology and information
available for individual sites, management has estimated the probable and
reasonably possible remediation costs that could be incurred by the Corporation
based on the facts and circumstances currently known.
PRP Sites and Other Remedial Activities
With regard to remedial actions under federal and state Superfund laws, the
Corporation has been named a potentially responsible party (PRP) at numerous
sites located throughout the country. At many of these sites, the Corporation
is either not a responsible party or its site involvement is very limited or de
minimis. However, the Corporation may have varying degrees of cleanup
responsibilities at 73 sites, including 18 CBS sites. With regard to cleanup
costs at these sites, in many cases the Corporation will share these costs with
other responsible parties, and the Corporation believes that any liability
incurred will be satisfied over a number of years. Management believes that the
Corporation's total remaining probable cost for remedial actions of these sites
as of December 31, 1995 is approximately $166 million, all of which has been
accrued.
As part of the agreements for the sale of certain of its businesses or sites,
the Corporation has agreed to retain obligations for remediation of
contamination existing at these sites, other Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) issues, and compliance
matters. Management believes that the total cost for these obligations is
approximately $28 million, all of which has been accrued. In addition, the
Corporation has accrued for the estimated remediation costs associated with
Discontinued Operations.
Bloomington Sites
The Corporation is a party to a 1985 Consent Decree relating to remediation of
six sites in Bloomington, Indiana. In the Consent Decree, the Corporation
agreed to construct and operate an incinerator, which would be permitted under
federal and state law, to burn excavated material. On February 8, 1994, the
Consent Decree parties filed with the court a status report advising of the
parties' intention to investigate alternatives. The Corporation believes it is
probable that the Consent Decree will be modified to an alternative remedial
action, which could include a combination of containment, treatment,
remediation and monitoring. The parties also recognize that the Consent Decree
shall remain in full force during this process.
<PAGE> 48
48
One of the six sites covered by the Consent Decree has been remediated. The
Corporation estimates that its total cost to implement the most reasonable
alternative for the five remaining sites covered by the Consent Decree is
approximately $61 million, all of which has been accrued. Included in this
amount is approximately $43 million for site construction and other related
costs valued as of the year of expenditure. The remaining $18 million is the
present value, assuming a 5% discount rate, of approximately $46 million of
operating and maintenance costs that will be incurred during a 30-year period.
Other reasonable remediation alternatives, while considered less likely, could
cause the total costs to be as much as $115 million.
Other
The Corporation is involved with several administrative actions alleging
violations of federal, state or local environmental regulations. For these
matters, the Corporation has estimated its remaining reasonably possible costs
and determined them to be immaterial.
The Corporation currently manages under contract several government-owned
facilities, which among other things are engaged in the remediation of
hazardous and nuclear wastes. To date, under the terms of the contracts, the
Corporation is not responsible for costs associated with environmental
liabilities, including environmental cleanup costs, except under certain
circumstances associated with the willful misconduct or lack of good faith of
its managers or their failure to exercise prudent business judgment. There are
currently no material claims for which the Corporation believes it is
responsible.
The Corporation has or will have responsibilities for environmental closure
activities or decommissioning nuclear licensed sites. The Corporation has
estimated the total potential cost to be incurred for these actions to
approximate $126 million, of which $29 million had been accrued at December 31,
1995. The Corporation's policy is to accrue these costs over the estimated life
of the individual facilities, which in most cases is approximately 20 years.
The anticipated annual costs currently being accrued are $5 million.
Capital expenditures related to environmental compliance in 1995 and 1994
totalled $6 million and $4 million, respectively. Operating expenses which are
recurring and associated with managing hazardous waste and pollutants in
ongoing operations in 1995 and 1994 totalled $6 million and $8 million,
respectively.
Management believes, based on its best estimate, that the Corporation has
adequately provided for its present environmental obligations and that
complying with existing government regulations will not materially impact the
Corporation's financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
INSURANCE RECOVERIES
Prior to 1995, the Corporation filed actions against more than 100 of its
insurance carriers seeking recovery for environmental, product and property
damage liabilities, and certain other matters. The Corporation has settled with
the majority of these carriers and has received recoveries related to these
actions. The Corporation has not accrued for any future insurance recoveries.
FINANCING COMMITMENTS
Continuing Operations
In the ordinary course of business, standby letters of credit are issued by
commercial banks on behalf of the Corporation related to performance
obligations primarily under contracts with customers.
The Corporation routinely enters into commitments to purchase the rights to
broadcast programs, including feature films and sports events. These contracts
permit the broadcast of such properties for various periods ending no later
than April 2002. As of December 31, 1995, the Corporation was committed to make
payments of $3,412 million under such broadcasting contracts.
The Corporation's other commitments consist primarily of those for the purchase
of plant and equipment totalling approximately $38 million at December 31,
1995.
Discontinued Operations
Financial Services commitments with off-balance-sheet credit risk represent
financing commitments to provide funds, including loan or investment
commitments, guarantees, standby letters of credit and standby commitments,
generally in exchange for fees. The remaining commitments have fixed expiration
dates from 1996 through 2002.
<PAGE> 49
49
At December 31, 1995, Financial Services commitments, consisting of guarantees,
credit enhancements, other standby agreements and commitments to extend credit
totalled $45 million compared to $80 million at year-end 1994. Management
expects the remaining commitments to expire unfunded or be funded with the
resulting assets being sold shortly after funding.
The defense and electronic systems business provides guarantees to customers in
the form of standby letters of credit for bids, advance payments and
performance of contractual obligations. Such guarantees are supported by the
Corporation's lines of credit. At December 31, 1995, approximately $202 million
of guarantees were outstanding. The cost for the lines of credit that support
the guarantees is inventoried if specifically related to an ongoing contract or
otherwise expensed as incurred.
NOTE 18: LEASES
The Corporation has commitments under operating leases for certain machinery
and equipment and facilities used in various operations. Rental expense for
Continuing Operations in 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $98 million, $104 million and
$125 million, respectively. These amounts include immaterial amounts for
contingent rentals. Rental expense included sublease income totalling $17
million, $16 million and $5 million for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

of other assets for 1994 includes a gain of $32 million from the sale of two
Sacramento, California radio stations. The 1993 gain on disposition of other
assets includes $21 million from the sale of an equity participation in a
production company.
NOTE 20: RESTRUCTURING
In recent years, the Corporation has restructured many of its businesses and
its corporate headquarters in an effort to reduce its cost structure and remain
competitive in its markets. Restructuring activities primarily involve the
separation of employees, the closing of facilities, the termination of leases,
and the exiting of product lines. Costs
<PAGE> 50
50
for restructuring activities are limited to incremental costs that directly
result from the restructuring activities and that provide no future benefit to
the Corporation.
A summary of restructuring charges by business segment follows:

Of the 3,720 employee separations over the three-year period, 90% were
completed at December 31, 1995. The remaining separations are expected to be
completed in early 1996. Employee separation costs generally are paid over a
period of up to two years following the separation.
In connection with the acquisition of CBS, the Corporation developed a
restructuring plan to integrate the operations of CBS with those of the
Corporation, and eliminate duplicate facilities and functions. The cost of that
plan, which is estimated to total approximately $100 million, was recorded in
connection with the purchase.

NOTE 22: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the
Corporation using the best available market information and appropriate
valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary in
interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly,
the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the
Corporation could realize in a current market exchange or the value that
ultimately will be realized by the Corporation upon maturity or disposition.
Additionally, because of the variety of valuation techniques permitted under
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments,"
comparability of fair values among entities may not be meaningful. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a
material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

</TABLE>
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
financial instruments for which it was practicable to estimate that value.
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Investments in marketable securities
The fair value of investments in marketable securities is based on quoted
market prices.
Noncurrent customer and other receivables
The fair value of noncurrent customer and other receivables is estimated by
discounting the expected future cash flows at interest rates commensurate with
the creditworthiness of the customers and other third parties.
Portfolio investments
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the fair value of portfolio investments was
determined using financial information prepared by independent third parties,
discounted cash flow projections, financial statements for investee companies
and letters of intent or other asset sale agreements.
Short-term debt
The carrying amount of the Corporation's borrowings under credit facilities and
other arrangements approximate fair value.
<PAGE> 56
56
Long-term debt
The fair value of long-term debt has been estimated using quoted market prices
or discounted cash flow methods based on the Corporation's current borrowing
rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with comparable terms and
maturities.
Interest rate and currency exchange agreements
The fair value of interest rate and currency exchange agreements is the amount
that the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate the agreements, based on
quoted market prices or discounted cash flow methods, considering current
interest rates, currency exchange rates and remaining maturities.
Financing commitments
Most of the unfunded commitments relate to, and are inseparable from, specific
portfolio investments. When establishing the fair value for those portfolio
investments, consideration was given to the related financing commitments.
Foreign currency exchange contracts
The fair value of foreign exchange contracts is based on quoted market prices
to terminate the contracts.
NOTE 23: SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In March 1996, the Corporation adopted a plan to exit its environmental
services line of business included in its former Government & Environmental
Services segment. During the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation recorded an
after-tax charge for the estimated loss on disposal of $146 million. As of
March 31, 1996, these financial statements and accompanying footnotes were
restated to reflect the environmental services line of business as a
Discontinued Operation. See Note 3 to the financial statements.
