WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
The condensed 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.
When reading the financial information contained in this Quarterly Report,
reference should be made to the financial statements, schedules, and notes
contained in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996 as amended by Form 10-K/A. Certain amounts pertaining to
the three months ended March 31, 1996 have been restated or reclassified
for comparative purposes. Reference also should be made to the Corporation's
Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 11, 1997 containing certain restated
financial information.
During recent years, the Corporation has made several changes to its business
portfolio. A number of business segments were identified as non-strategic and
were reclassified to Discontinued Operations. When appropriate, financial
information previously issued was restated to give effect to the classification
of these businesses as Discontinued Operations in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion (APB) 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." See
note 9 to the financial statements.
On December 31, 1996, the Corporation acquired Infinity Broadcasting
Corporation (Infinity). The acquisition, which was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting, is reflected in the year-end 1996 consolidated
balance sheet. Effective January 1, 1997, operating results for Infinity are
included in the consolidated statement of income. On a pro forma basis,
assuming Infinity had been acquired as of January 1, 1996, the Corporation's
revenues for the first quarter of 1996 would have been $2,183 million, with a
net loss of $679 million, and a loss per share of $1.07.
On February 10, 1997, the Corporation announced that it reached a definitive
merger agreement with Gaylord Entertainment Company (Gaylord) whereby the
Corporation will acquire Gaylord's two major cable networks - The Nashville
Network (TNN) and Country Music Television (CMT). The acquisition includes
domestic and international operations of TNN, the U.S. and Canadian operations
of CMT, and approximately $50 million of working capital. The purchase price of
$1.55 billion will be paid in Westinghouse common stock. The number of shares
to be issued will depend on the average of the closing prices of the
Corporation's common stock during a trading period just prior to the effective
time of the transaction, subject to certain limits on the total number of
shares to be issued and certain termination rights under the merger agreement.
The transaction is subject to several conditions, including regulatory
approvals, the receipt of a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service,
and the approval of Gaylord's shareholders.
In November 1996, the Board of Directors approved a plan to separate the
Corporation's industries and technology businesses by way of a tax-free
dividend to shareholders, forming a new publicly traded company to be called
Westinghouse Electric Company (WELCO). The plan also provides that Thermo King
will conduct a public offering of up to 20% of its common stock and will become
a majority-owned subsidiary of WELCO. Completion of the plan is subject to a
number of conditions, including a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service and the registration of the WELCO common stock under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Management currently anticipates the separation will
occur later in 1997. However, there can be no assurance that the separation
will occur or as to the related timing. Furthermore, if the separation does
occur, there can be no assurance that all of the assets, liabilities and
contractual obligations will be transferred as currently contemplated or that
changes will not be made to the separation plan. See note 12(a) to the financial
statements for a modification of the separation plan.
-7-
<PAGE> 8
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, the 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,
environmental liabilities, contracts, pensions, and Discontinued Operations,
based on current available information. Changes in facts and circumstances
may result in revised estimates. In the opinion of management, the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements include all material adjustments necessary to
present fairly the Corporation's financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for
this interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire
year or any other interim period.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which
requires the dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic
and diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with this standard
would have been a loss of $0.28 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
income of $0.59 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The Corporation will
adopt this standard as of December 31, 1997, as required. Early adoption is not
permitted.
2. RESTRUCTURING, LITIGATION AND OTHER MATTERS
During the first three months of 1996, the Corporation took several actions to
streamline its businesses and recognize the financial impact of certain
matters. Certain of these actions resulted in the recognition of charges to
operating profit. Costs for new restructuring projects of $123 million were
recognized primarily for the consolidation of facilities and the separation of
employees. A charge of $486 million was recognized for pending litigation
matters. Other costs of $45 million recognized in the first quarter generally
related to asset impairment, as discussed in note 3 to the financial
statements, or to costs associated with previously divested businesses.
No such charges were incurred in the first three months of 1997.
3. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
During the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation adopted SFAS 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed Of." SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets, including related
goodwill, be reviewed for impairment and written down to their estimated fair
value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value may not be recoverable.
Upon the adoption of SFAS 121, an impairment charge of $15 million was
recognized in the 1996 first quarter operating profit.

5. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
On March 1, 1996, the Corporation extinguished prior to maturity $3,565 million
of debt under the then-existing $7.5 billion credit facility. As a result of

<PAGE> 12
At March 31, 1997, the assets and liabilities of Discontinued Operations
included those related to the remaining operating businesses from both the
CISCO segment and the environmental services business, the remaining securities
from WCI, other miscellaneous securities, the leasing portfolio, and deferred
income taxes. Liabilities also included debt and the estimated losses and
divestiture costs associated with all Discontinued Operations, including
estimated results of operations through divestiture.
Except for the leasing portfolio, the assets generally are expected to be
divested during 1997. Deferred income taxes, which result from temporary
differences between book and tax bases of the assets and liabilities of
Discontinued Operations, generally will be transferred to Continuing Operations
upon reversal and will not result in the receipt or payment of cash by
Discontinued Operations. Liabilities associated with divestitures are expected
to be satisfied over the next several years. Debt will be repaid using cash
proceeds from the liquidation of assets of Discontinued Operations. Cash
proceeds in excess of those required to repay the debt and satisfy the
divestiture liabilities of Discontinued Operations, if any, will be transferred
to Continuing Operations.
Portfolio investments consist primarily of receivables related to the leasing
portfolio of Financial Services. Also included are real estate properties and
investments in leasing partnerships. The leasing portfolio is expected to
liquidate through 2015 in accordance with contractual terms and generally
consists of direct financing and leveraged leases. At March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, 83% and 84%, respectively, related to aircraft and 17% and
16%, respectively, related to cogeneration facilities.
10. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS
Legal Matters
- -------------
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 ten 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. One active steam generator lawsuit remains.
The Corporation is also a party to six 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 discussion.
Securities Class Actions - Financial Services
The Corporation has been 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 were appealed. In July 1996,
the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the Circuit Court)
affirmed the court's dismissal of the derivative claim. The Circuit Court also
affirmed in part and reversed in part the dismissal of the class action claims.
Those class action claims that were not dismissed by the Circuit Court have
been remanded to the lower court for further proceedings.
-12-
<PAGE> 13
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 March 31, 1997, the
Corporation had approximately 101,000 claims outstanding against it.
In court actions which have been resolved, the Corporation has prevailed in the
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 that have agreed to the settlement
are now reimbursing the Corporation for a substantial portion of its current
costs and settlements associated with asbestos claims. The Corporation has
recorded a liability for asbestos-related matters that are deemed probable and
can be reasonably estimated, and has separately recorded an asset equal to the
amount of such estimated liabilities that will be recovered pursuant to
agreements with insurance carriers. The Corporation cannot reasonably estimate
costs for unasserted asbestos claims.
General
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 that the Corporation
has adequately provided for costs arising from potential settlement of these
matters when in the best interest of the Corporation. 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. 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, and technology; the adequacy of
information available for individual sites; the extended time periods over
which site remediation occurs; and the identification of new sites. The
Corporation has, however, recognized an estimated liability, measured in
current dollars, for those sites where it is probable that a loss has been
incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The
Corporation recognizes changes in estimates as new remediation requirements are
defined or as more information becomes available.
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 approximately 90 sites, including the sites located in
Bloomington, Indiana. The Corporation believes that any liability incurred for
cleanup at these sites will be satisfied over a number of years, and in many
cases, the costs will be shared with other responsible parties. These sites
include certain sites for which the Corporation, as part of an agreement for
sale, has retained obligations for remediation of environmental contamination
and for other Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) issues.
-13-
<PAGE> 14
Based on the costs associated with the most probable alternative remediation
strategy for the above mentioned sites, including Bloomington, the Corporation
has an accrued liability of $459 million. Depending on the remediation
alternatives ultimately selected, the costs related to these sites could differ
from the amounts currently accrued. The accrued liability includes $338 million
for site investigation and remediation and $121 million for post closure and
monitoring activities. Management anticipates that the majority of expenditures
for site investigation and remediation will occur during the next five to ten
years. Expenditures for post-closure and monitoring activities will be made
over periods up to 30 years.
Commitments -- Continuing Operations
- ------------------------------------
In the ordinary course of business, standby letters of credit and surety bonds
are issued on behalf of the Corporation related primarily to performance
obligations under contracts with customers.
The Corporation routinely enters into commitments to purchase the rights to
broadcast programs, including feature films and sporting events. These
contracts permit the broadcast of such properties for various periods ending no
later than April 2002. As of March 31, 1997, the Corporation was committed to
make payments under such broadcasting contracts, along with commitments for
talent contracts, totalling $3,383 million.
Commitments -- Discontinued Operations
- --------------------------------------
Financial Services commitments at March 31, 1997 consisting primarily of
guarantees totalled $33 million compared to $38 million at year-end 1996. The
remaining commitments have fixed expiration dates from 1997 through 2002.
Management expects these commitments to expire unfunded.
11. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Corporation's Series C Conversion Preferred Stock (Series C Preferred) has
been treated as outstanding common stock for the calculation of earnings per
share, which was in accordance with prevalent practice at the time of sale. If
the Series C Preferred had been treated as common stock equivalents for the
calculation of earnings per share, the Corporation's per-share results for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 would have been a loss of $0.27 and
income of $0.58, respectively.
In April 1997, the Corporation announced its intention to redeem all
outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred on May 30, 1997. In accordance
with the terms of the offering, each share of the Series C Preferred will
convert into Westinghouse common stock at the rate of 8.85 shares of
Westinghouse common stock, equivalent to 0.885 of a share of Westinghouse
common stock for each $1.30 depositary share. Each depositary share represents
one-tenth of a share of Series C Preferred. In connection with this redemption
of the Series C Preferred, the Corporation will issue 31,859,902 shares of
common stock. All accrued and unpaid dividends on the redeemed shares of Series
C Preferred will be paid on May 30, 1997.
In conjunction with the Infinity acquisition on December 31, 1996, the
Corporation issued 183 million new shares of Westinghouse common stock. These
shares, together with the related options outstanding, resulted in an increase
of shareholders' equity of $3.8 billion.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
a) In June 1997, the Westinghouse Board of Directors modified the separation
plan described in note 1. Under the modified separation plan, Thermo King
Corporation will remain with the media company, along with the existing
pension and other postretirement benefit obligations of Westinghouse. The
Corporation will consider options to enhance Thermo King's value to
shareholders, including a sale, public offering or spin-off to
shareholders.
-14-
<PAGE> 15
b) In the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation modified its accounting
practices related to certain long-term contracts. The Corporation accounts
for long-term contracts to supply major apparatus and parts for major
apparatus under the percentage of completion method. Previously, the
Corporation recognized revenue on parts contracts when the parts were
procured but now recognizes revenue when the parts are delivered to the
customer. For major apparatus contracts, the Corporation previously
recognized a portion of the contract revenue approximating pre-contract
costs when the contract was signed. The Corporation now recognizes all of
the contract revenue over the life of the contract. In connection with this
modification, the Corporation recorded an adjustment to reduce pre-tax
earnings by $128 million.
After discussions with the SEC, the Corporation agreed to retroactively
apply the modified accounting practices for all periods presented. The
impact of this restatement on the Corporation's loss from Continuing
Operations, net income and related per share amounts is presented below:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The $4.7 billion acquisition of Infinity Broadcasting Corporation (Infinity)
resulted in an increase in shareholders' equity at December 31, 1996 of $3.8
billion from the issuance of 183 million shares of Westinghouse common stock
and the conversion of Infinity options into options to acquire approximately 22
million additional shares of Westinghouse common stock. Effective January 1,
1997, operating results for Infinity are included in the Corporation's
consolidated financial statements and are reported as part of the radio segment
of the Media group.
Subsequent to the acquisition of Infinity at year-end 1996, the Corporation's
radio group continued to outpace the market. The radio group's profitability in
the first quarter of 1997 was further enhanced by cost reduction measures at
radio stations.
Net income for the first quarter of 1997 was a loss of $151 million, or $0.23
per share, compared to income of $246 million, or $0.56 per share for the 1996
first quarter. Income from Continuing Operations for the quarter was a loss of
$151 million, or $0.23 per share, compared to a loss of $658 million, or $1.50
per share for the 1996 first quarter. Results for the 1996 quarter included a
number of special items which are presented in the table below. No special
items were recognized in the first quarter of 1997. Excluding the 1996 special
items, the first quarter 1996 loss from Continuing Operations was $126 million,
or $0.29 per share. Certain 1996 amounts have been restated as discussed in
note 12 to the financial statements.
The $25 million increase in the loss from Continuing Operations for the quarter
reflected several factors. For the Media group, the favorable radio results
were more than offset by lower performance by the television network. Results
for the industries and technology group also declined primarily because of a
profit adjustment for a complex international power project. Interest expense
for the 1997 quarter was favorable, reflecting the March 1996 debt repayments
from the sale proceeds of the defense and electronic systems business and The
Knoll Group (Knoll), the Corporation's office furniture business.
On February 10, 1997, the Corporation announced that it reached a definitive
merger agreement with Gaylord Entertainment Company (Gaylord) whereby the
Corporation will acquire Gaylord's two major cable networks - The Nashville
Network (TNN) and Country Music Television (CMT). The acquisition includes
domestic and international operations of TNN, the U.S. and Canadian operations
of CMT, and approximately $50 million of working capital. The purchase price of
$1.55 billion will be paid in Westinghouse common stock. The number of shares
to be issued will depend on the average of the closing prices of the
Corporation's common stock during a trading period just prior to the effective
time of the transaction, subject to certain limits on the total number of
shares to be issued and certain termination rights under the merger agreement.
The transaction is subject to several conditions, including regulatory
approvals, the receipt of a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service,
and the approval of Gaylord's shareholders. Management currently anticipates
this transaction to be completed prior to the separation of the industries and
technology businesses as discussed below.
In November 1996, the Board of Directors approved a plan to separate the
Corporation's industries and technology businesses by way of a tax-free
dividend to shareholders, forming a new publicly traded company to be called
Westinghouse Electric Company (WELCO). The plan also provides that Thermo King
will conduct a public offering of up to 20% of its common stock and will become
a majority-owned subsidiary of WELCO. Completion of the plan is subject to a
number of conditions, including a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service and the registration of the WELCO common stock under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Management currently anticipates the separation will
occur later in 1997. However, there can be no assurance that the separation
will occur or as to the related timing. Furthermore, if the separation does
occur, there can be no assurance that all of the assets, liabilities and
contractual obligations will be transferred as currently contemplated or that
-16-
<PAGE> 17
changes will not be made to the separation plan. See note 12(a) to the financial
statements for a modification of the separation plan.
During 1996, the Corporation completed the sales of its defense and
electronic systems business and Knoll, and recorded a combined after-tax gain
of $1.2 billion. The cash proceeds from these divestitures, which totalled
nearly $3.6 billion, were used to repay ahead of schedule a significant portion
of the debt incurred to finance the 1995 $5.4 billion acquisition of CBS Inc.
(CBS).
The Corporation further streamlined its businesses in 1996 and adopted plans to
exit its Communication & Information Systems (CISCO) segment and its
environmental services line of business, resulting in the transfer of these
businesses to Discontinued Operations. On December 31, 1996, the Corporation
completed the sale of Westinghouse Security Systems, part of CISCO.
In the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation recognized costs associated with
additional restructuring actions, as well as outstanding litigation and other
matters. The special items included in the Corporation's results for the first
three months of 1996 are summarized below.

</TABLE>
The Corporation's reported sales increased $184 million, or 9%, for the first
quarter of 1997 compared to the 1996 first quarter. The improvements achieved
by Power Generation and Media were essentially offset by lower sales from
Energy Systems, Thermo King, Government Operations, and certain miscellaneous
non-strategic businesses that were divested in 1996.
The operating loss for the Corporation for the first quarter of 1997
increased significantly from the first quarter of 1996, excluding special items
in the 1996 first quarter. While the strength of the Media group's radio
business caused profits in radio to increase significantly as a result of the
addition of Infinity and improvement at the existing stations, the CBS Network
profits declined primarily as a result of lower ratings and higher programming
costs. Power Systems' operating loss increased for the quarter primarily as a
result of the completion of a reevaluation of a complex international nuclear
project at Energy Systems which required an adjustment to sales and operating
profit. Government Operations' results declined for the first quarter of 1997
compared to 1996 due to the loss of a Department of Energy (DOE) contract in
1996. Thermo King, however, increased profits slightly following two fourth
quarter 1996 acquisitions.
-18-
<PAGE> 19
Media
Due to the acquisition of Infinity at December 31, 1996, the results for Media
for the first quarter of 1997 include Infinity financial data, while the first
quarter of 1996 results do not. Where appropriate, the discussion below
provides a comparison of the actual results for the first quarter of 1997 with
the proforma combined CBS and Infinity results for the first quarter of 1996.
Revenues for the television group declined $11 million or 6% for the first
quarter of 1997 compared to the same period last year. Lower ratings in certain
major markets and the lack of political advertising in the 1997 first quarter
contributed to the decline. The 1996 first quarter also included revenues from
WPRI, the Providence, Rhode Island station sold in July 1996. Despite the
lower revenues, operating profit increased nearly 4% as cost improvements at
the stations more than offset the decreased revenues.
The network experienced a 4% increase in revenues for the first quarter of 1997
compared to the same period last year primarily as a result of increased
syndication fees and the timing of the NCAA final basketball game. The final
game was played on March 31, 1997 compared to April 1, 1996. Operating profit,
however, declined as a result of lower audience levels in key demographic
categories and higher programming costs primarily associated with sports and
special events. The favorable effect from purchase price accounting adjustments
related to program rights declined $32 million in the first quarter of 1997
compared to the same period last year.
On a proforma combined basis, sales for radio for the first quarter of 1997
increased nearly 18% compared to the first quarter of 1996, outpacing the
market. Operating profit, on a proforma combined basis, increased 38% for the
same period as a result of the increased revenues and benefits from cost
reduction initiatives. Results for the radio group include amortization of
goodwill and intangible assets related to the Infinity acquisition.
Other Media Businesses includes operating results for CBS Cable, formerly Group
W Satellite Communications, and EYEMARK Entertainment (EYEMARK) which produces
and distributes programming. Revenues for CBS Cable increased nearly 16% in the
first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period last year, primarily as a
result of increased sales for sports and other cable services and the June 1996
acquisition of TeleNoticias, a 24-hour, Spanish-language news service.
Operating profit, however, declined for the first quarter of 1997 compared to
the same period last year primarily due to increased expenses related to
TeleNoticias and costs to develop and launch Eye On People, a new cable channel
which debuted March 31, 1997. The acquisition of TNN and CMT later in 1997 is
expected to strengthen the group's cable business. Revenues for EYEMARK
increased in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996.
The operating loss also improved due to the mix of programming.
Costs for the Media group's headquarters and amortization of all goodwill
arising from the CBS acquisition comprise Other Media. For the first quarter of
1996, Other Media included a $41 million restructuring charge for
Westinghouse's actions to obtain operational synergies between CBS and
Westinghouse. The cost of the CBS actions was recorded in connection with the
CBS acquisition. Goodwill amortization related to the CBS acquisition totals
$30 million per quarter.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is a
widely accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to incur and service
debt. It is commonly used in the media industry as a surrogate for cash flows.
For the entire Media group, EBITDA totalled $110 million for the first quarter
of 1997, flat with the same period in 1996, excluding the restructuring charge
in 1996. On a proforma combined basis, EBITDA for the first quarter of 1996 was
$146 million. EBITDA differs from operating cash flows for the group primarily
because it does not consider changes in assets and liabilities from period to
period.
-19-
<PAGE> 20
Power Systems
Power Systems includes results for the Energy Systems and Power Generation
business units. Excluding special items in the 1996 first quarter, sales for
Power Systems were flat in the 1997 first quarter, while the operating
loss increased significantly.
Energy Systems' sales and operating profit decreased for the first quarter of
1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996. Sales decreased $44 million or 19%
for the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period last year, while the
operating loss increased $55 million for the same period, excluding last year's
$21 million restructuring charge. The primary reason for the decrease in sales
and operating profit for the period was a $49 million adjustment to both sales
and operating profit following a comprehensive reevaluation of the work scope
and costs to complete a complex international nuclear project which originated
in 1993. Although this $352 million contract remains profitable, management has
determined that the Corporation's profit will be less than originally
estimated. Orders for the quarter were down 24%, primarily due to a large fuel
reload order in the first quarter of 1996.
Power Generation's orders for the first quarter of 1997 decreased $269 million
or 55% compared to the first quarter of 1996. Delays in the closing of certain
project orders was the primary cause of the decreased order level. Also, the
1996 first quarter contained a number of large international and domestic
orders.
Revenues in Power Generation increased $41 million or 9% for the first quarter
of 1997 compared to the same period last year. Higher service sales was the
primary reason for this revenue increase. The operating loss declined 37%,
excluding a $5 million litigation charge and a $50 million restructuring
charge, which were recognized in the first quarter of 1996. Higher service
revenues and cost improvements from restructurings caused the improvements in
the operating loss.
The operating loss for the first quarter of 1996 for Other Power Systems, which
primarily reflects discounts on prior litigation settlements, included a $289
million charge for litigation and other matters. Excluding this charge, the
operating loss for the first quarter of 1997 was flat with the same period last
year.
Thermo King
Thermo King continues to post positive results in the face of soft markets in
North America and Europe. Orders for the first quarter of 1997 were up 5%,
primarily as a result of a large container order and increases in service parts
business. Sales were down slightly due primarily to the strong U.S. dollar and
weak North American truck and trailer sales. Revenues from two fourth quarter
1996 acquisitions, Sabroe and Thermal, partially offset the lower truck and
trailer sales. Operating profit increased 4% in the first quarter of 1997
compared to the same period last year as revenues from the two acquisitions and
substantial focus on material cost and productivity improvements offset the
effect of lower truck and trailer sales.
-20-
<PAGE> 21
Government Operations
Revenues for the first quarter of 1997 were down 8% and operating profit was
down $8 million, or 44%, compared to the first quarter of 1996. The decrease in
sales was attributable to the loss of a DOE contract at Hanford, Washington, in
late 1996, partially offset by increased pass-through sales at the DOE Savannah
River site. Operating profit decreased as a result of the loss of the Hanford
contract performance fee.
Corporate and Other
Sales for the first quarter of 1997 were down 41% due primarily to the 1996
sale of several non-strategic businesses. The operating loss, excluding the
first quarter 1996 charge of $248 million for restructuring, litigation and
other matters, was flat. Despite cost reductions from restructuring activities,
Corporate costs are consistent with the prior year. Costs associated with the
Corporation's continuing pension obligation for retired individuals who were
part of the defense and electronic systems business sold in March 1996
continues to unfavorably impact operating profit. These costs for January and
February of 1996 were included in Discontinued Operations as part of the
results for that business prior to its disposal.
RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER ACTIONS
In recent years, the Corporation has restructured many businesses and its
corporate headquarters in an effort to reduce costs 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 for restructuring activities are limited to
incremental costs that directly result from the restructuring activities and
that provide no future benefit to the Corporation.
During 1996, management approved new restructuring projects with costs
totalling $273 million, $123 million in the first quarter and $150 million in
the fourth quarter, primarily for consolidation of facilities and the
separation of employees. As of March 31, 1997, $162 million had been expended
on the 1996 programs, $106 million of which was cash. Future cash expenditures
for these programs are estimated to approximate $71 million for the remainder
of 1997, and $10 million for 1998 and beyond.
In addition to the reserves established in 1996, restructuring reserves were
also established in 1994 and 1995. The employee separations included in the
1994 plan are complete. The employee separations included in the 1995 plan are
85% complete with the remainder of separations to occur during 1997. Remaining
total costs under this plan of approximately $6 million represent primarily
cash expenditures, all of which will occur in 1997. In addition, a CBS
restructuring plan was adopted in conjunction with the acquisition in November
1995. Implementation of this plan will continue over the next two years.
Annualized savings from the 1994 and 1995 restructuring programs other than the
CBS plan are estimated to total approximately $75 million; however, competitive
pressures causing price compression in certain of the Corporation's markets
have absorbed a significant portion of the savings achieved through
restructuring actions. Annualized savings from the 1996 plan, which will be
gradually achieved over the next two years, are estimated at $100 million.
The Corporation expects to continue to identify restructuring initiatives at
its business units and its Corporate headquarters in an ongoing effort to
reduce its overall cost structure and improve competitiveness.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
At March 31, 1997, the assets and liabilities of Discontinued Operations
included those related to the remaining operating businesses from the CISCO
segment and the environmental services business, the remaining securities from
-21-
<PAGE> 22
the land development subsidiary, other miscellaneous securities, the leasing
portfolio, and deferred income taxes. Liabilities also included debt and the
estimated losses and divestiture costs associated with all Discontinued
Operations, including estimated results of operations through divestiture. In
April 1997, the Corporation completed the sale of two of the remaining
environmental services businesses.
Other than the leasing portfolio, the Corporation is actively pursuing the sale
of assets, which are generally expected to be divested during 1997. Deferred
income taxes, which result from temporary differences between book and tax
bases of the assets and liabilities of Discontinued Operations, generally will
be transferred to Continuing Operations upon reversal and will not result in
the receipt or payment of cash by Discontinued Operations. Liabilities
associated with divestitures are expected to be satisfied over the next several
years. Debt will be repaid using cash proceeds from the liquidation of assets
of Discontinued Operations. Cash proceeds in excess of those required to repay
the debt and satisfy the divestiture liabilities of Discontinued Operations, if
any, will be transferred to Continuing Operations.
Management believes that the net proceeds anticipated from the continued
liquidation of assets of Discontinued Operations will be sufficient to fund the
liabilities of Discontinued Operations, including the repayment of its debt.
Management further believes that the liability for the estimated loss on
disposal of Discontinued Operations of $631 million at March 31, 1997 is
adequate to cover future operating costs, estimated losses, and the remaining
divestiture costs associated with all discontinued businesses.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES
Other income and expenses for the first quarter of 1997 was income of $34
million compared to a loss of $146 million for the first quarter of 1996. The
1997 income included the sale of an equity investment in a regional sports
network. During the first quarter of 1996, a comprehensive review was
undertaken by the Corporation to identify non-strategic assets. A charge of
$152 million was recognized during the quarter for losses expected to be
realized upon the sale of those assets.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for Continuing Operations for the first quarter of 1997 was
$114 million compared to $146 million for the same period in 1996. The decrease
in interest expense is primarily the result of the repayment of $3.6 billion of
debt in March 1996 through proceeds from the divestitures of Knoll and the
defense and electronic systems business, and favorable interest rates under the
new bank credit agreement completed in August 1996 (see Revolving Credit
Facility). This decrease in interest expense is offset somewhat by the increase
in debt associated with the acquisition of Infinity and increased working
capital requirements.
INCOME TAXES
The Corporation's effective income tax rate for Continuing Operations for the
first quarter of 1997 and 1996 was a benefit of 28% and 34%, respectively for
continuing operations. Because of the amortization of non-deductible goodwill
for CBS and Infinity and the impact of special transactions, these rates can
vary dramatically depending on the Corporation's income or loss levels.
At March 31, 1997, the Corporation had recorded net deferred income tax
benefits totalling $1,498 million compared to $1,411 million at December 31,
1996. As a result of these net deferred income tax benefits, cash payments for
federal income taxes are minimal. 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.
-22-
<PAGE> 23
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.
On February 10, 1997, the Corporation announced an agreement to acquire two
cable networks - TNN and CMT. The purchase price of $1.55 billion will be paid
in Westinghouse common stock, which will further increase the Corporation's
equity. No debt will be assumed in conjunction with this transaction.
As discussed previously, the Corporation intends to separate its media
businesses from its industries and technology businesses through a tax-free
dividend of the industries and technology businesses to shareholders. As
currently contemplated, the media company will retain all debt obligations of
the current Westinghouse as well as the $1.5 billion tax net operating loss
carryforward. The industries and technology company will assume most of the
unfunded pension obligation and other non-debt obligations generated by the
Corporation's industrial businesses in earlier years. Management currently
anticipates the separation will occur later in 1997. However, there can be no
assurance that all of the assets, liabilities and contractual obligations will
be transferred as currently contemplated or that changes will not be made to
the separation plan. See note 12(a) to the financial statements for a
modification of the separation plan.
The Corporation has and will continue to monetize non-strategic assets. In
1996, the Corporation adopted plans to exit its environmental services business
and CISCO. In addition to the $3.6 billion of cash generated by the sale of
Knoll and the defense and electronic systems business, sales of various
non-strategic assets in 1996 generated cash proceeds of approximately $550
million. During 1997, sales of non-strategic assets are expected to generate
additional cash of $300 to $400 million. The majority of these proceeds are
anticipated to be received in the second half of the year.
Total debt for the Corporation was $6,759 million at March 31, 1997, of which
$444 million was included in Discontinued Operations and will be repaid through
the liquidation of those assets. Debt of Continuing Operations of $6,315
million increased $665 million from December 31, 1996 reflecting higher working
capital requirements. The Corporation's debt of Continuing Operations is
expected to remain at approximately this level for the remainder of the year.
Management expects that the Corporation will have sufficient liquidity to meet
ordinary future business needs. Sources of liquidity generally available to the
Corporation include cash from operations, availability under its credit
facility, cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from sales of non-strategic
assets, borrowings from other sources, including funds from the capital
markets, and the issuance of additional capital stock.
Operating Activities
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to cash used by

</TABLE>
The operating activities of Continuing Operations used $863 million of cash
during the first three months of 1997 compared to cash used of $502 million
during the first three months of 1996. The two primary factors contributing to
the additional use of cash in the 1997 quarter were a significant increase in
working capital requirements and higher restructuring expenditures.
Working capital requirements increased relative to the first quarter of 1996.
Increases in both receivables and inventories totalled $207 million in the
first three months of 1997 compared to an increase of $45 million in the first
three months of 1996. In addition, a significant reduction in accounts payable
contributed substantially to the higher working capital at March 31, 1997.
Restructuring spending increased in the first quarter of 1997 relative to the
first quarter of 1996. This was primarily attributable to expenditures
associated with the restructuring plans adopted in late 1996.
The Corporation's pension contribution level for 1997, which is expected to be
approximately $250 million to $300 million, is consistent with the
Corporation's goal to fully fund its qualified pension plans over the next
several years. In July 1997, the Corporation will begin making its pension
contributions quarterly pursuant to certain minimum funding requirements.
The operating activities of Discontinued Operations used $30 million of cash
during the first three months of 1997 compared to $314 million of cash used
during the same period of 1996. During 1996, a significant amount of cash was
used for the divestiture costs of Knoll and the defense and electronic systems
business as well as in the operations of those businesses through the date of
their disposal.
Future cash requirements of Discontinued Operations will consist primarily of
interest costs on debt, remaining costs associated with completed divestitures,
and operating and disposal costs associated with the environmental services
business and CISCO. Management believes that the future cash receipts of
Discontinued Operations will be sufficient to satisfy the divestiture
liabilities of Discontinued Operations and the remaining debt. Any cash in
excess of that required to satisfy those liabilities will be transferred to
Continuing Operations.

Investing Activities
Investing activities provided $36 million of cash during the first three months
of 1997 compared to $3.5 billion of cash provided during the same period of
1996. In the first quarter of 1997, the Corporation had investing cash outflows
related to the acquisition of Buspack, a transit advertising company in the
United Kingdom, and a $20 million payment in conjunction with a swap of three
radio stations in Orlando for two radio stations in Chicago. Acquisition cash
outflows in the 1996 quarter included the purchase of two Chicago radio
stations.
Investing cash inflows from business divestitures in the first quarter of 1997
included proceeds from the sales of one radio station in Chicago, two radio
stations in Dallas, and an equity investment. In the 1996 quarter, the
Corporation completed the sales of Knoll and the defense and electronic systems
business, generating $3.6 billion of cash. Liquidations of other assets
generated approximately $20 million in the first quarter of both years.
Capital expenditures were $41 million for the first three months of 1997, a
decrease of $11 million from the same period of 1996. Capital spending during
1997 is expected to be approximately $50 million higher than 1996 primarily
driven by the Media group.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities during the first three months of 1997
totalled $738 million compared to cash used of $2.7 billion during the same
period of 1996. The cash outflows in the first quarter of 1997 included $149
million to extinguish the long-term debt previously issued by Infinity. The
cash outflows in the first quarter of 1996 included $3.6 billion of debt
prepaid upon the sales of Knoll and the defense and electronic systems
business.
Total borrowings under the Corporation's $5.5 billion revolving credit facility
were $4.2 billion at March 31, 1997 (see Revolving Credit Facility). These
borrowings were subject to a floating interest rate of 6.1% at March 31, 1997,
which was based on the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR), plus a margin based
on the Corporation's senior unsecured debt rating and leverage.
Dividends paid in the first three months of 1997 and 1996 included $12 million
for the Series C preferred stock, which the Corporation expects to replace with
31,859,902 shares of common stock on May 30, 1997. Common stock dividends
increased from $20 million in the first quarter of 1996 to $29 million in the
first quarter of 1997 because of additional shares outstanding.
At March 31, 1997, the Corporation had a shelf registration statement for debt
securities with an unused amount of $400 million.
Revolving Credit Facility
On August 29, 1996, the Corporation executed a new five-year revolving credit
agreement with total commitments of $5.5 billion. The unused capacity under the
facility equaled $1.3 billion as of March 31, 1997. Borrowing availability
under the revolver 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, and restrictions on
liens incurred. During the first quarter of 1997, this agreement was amended
twice.
The Corporation is subject to financial covenants including a maximum
leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio, and minimum consolidated net
worth. These covenants become more restrictive over the remaining term of the
agreement. At March 31, 1997, the Corporation was in compliance with these
covenants.

Legal, Environmental, and Other Matters
Over the past several years, the Corporation has addressed a variety of legal,
environmental, and other matters related to current operations as well as to
previously divested businesses. See note 10 to the financial statements. The
costs associated with resolving these matters are recognized in the period in
which the costs are deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management
believes that the Corporation has adequately provided for the estimated costs
of resolving these matters.
