Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
         -------------------------------------

  On January 17, 1995 Registrant effected the disposition by merger (the
 "Merger") of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bulova Technologies, Inc. ("BTI")
 pursuant to a Merger Agreement dated as of January 17, 1995 among Registrant,
 BTI and BTI Acquisition Corporation (the "Buyer").  Registrant understands that
 the Buyer is affiliated with National Defense Company and BT Capital
 Corporation.  Neither Registrant nor any of its affiliates, directors or
 officers or any associates of any of the foregoing, had any material
 relationship with the Buyer or any of its affiliates.

  BTI is engaged primarily in the production, manufacture and sale of precision
 mechanical, electronic and electro-mechanical timing devices, including fuzes
 for ordnance applications for sale to the U.S. and foreign governments.  BTI
 also produces certain commercial products.  BTI constituted Registrant's
 industrial and defense products segment.

  The consideration received by Registrant pursuant to the Merger consisted of
 $20,810,000 paid in cash by the Buyer.  In addition, Registrant assumed BTI's
 liabilities with respect to post-retirement health care benefits for employees
 of BTI who had retired prior to the consummation of the Merger. Immediately
 prior to the Merger, Registrant contributed to the capital of BTI $11,582,000
 principal amount of intercompany debt owed to Registrant and BTI paid to
 Registrant $1,665,000 in consideration representing the principal amount of
 intercompany debt outstanding at December 31, 1994 in excess of Registrant's
 contributed capital. The terms of the Merger, including the consideration, were
 determined through arms length negotiation.

  Registrant applied $19,000,000 of the consideration received by it to the
 repayment of debt owed to its parent, Loews Corporation, and the balance of the
 consideration was added to working capital.
