Notes to Financial Statements
- -----------------------------

1)  Change in Accounting Principles:

    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115
    ----------------------------------------------------------

  During the 1994 first quarter, ITT adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for 
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  The new standard 
requires, among other things, that securities be classified as 
"held-to-maturity", "available for sale" or "trading" based on the company's 
intentions with respect to the ultimate disposition of the security and its 
ability to effect those intentions.  The classification determines the 
appropriate accounting carrying value (cost basis or fair value) and, in the 
case of fair value, whether the adjustment impacts Stockholders Equity 
directly or is reflected in the Statement of Income.  Investments in equity 
securities had previously been recorded at fair value with the corresponding 
impact included in Stockholders Equity.  Under SFAS No. 115, the Corporation's 
portfolios are generally classified as "available for sale" and accordingly, 
investments are reflected at fair value with the corresponding impact included 
as a component of Stockholders Equity designated "Unrealized gain (loss) on 
securities, net of tax".  At March 31, 1994, the unrealized loss on 
securities, net of tax was $270 million including an unrealized gain 
pertaining to equity securities of $31 million after tax.
  In adopting SFAS No. 115, Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issue no. 93-18 
prescribes specific accounting treatment with respect to mortgage-backed 
interest-only investments.  EITF 93-18 reached the conclusion that the measure 
of impairment of these instruments should be changed from undiscounted cash 
flows to fair value.  Accordingly, the amortized cost basis of such 
instruments that were determined to have other-than-temporary impairment 
losses at the time of the initial adoption of SFAS No. 115 have been written 
down to fair value and reflected as a cumulative effect of accounting change 
as of January 1, 1994.  The writedown totalled $36 million after tax or $0.29 
per fully diluted share.

    Change in the Discount Rate used to determine certain Workers Compensation
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Liabilities
- ------------

  During the 1994 first quarter, the Corporation changed its method used to 
discount long-term tabular workers compensation liabilities from a statutory 
insurance rate to an appropriate market interest rate.  The market rate, which 
approximates 7%, represents the rate of return the Corporation could receive 
on risk-free investments with maturities comparable to those of the 
liabilities being discounted.  At December 31 1993, these liabilities were 
discounted at 3 to 3 1/2% in accordance with statutory insurance guidelines.
A $42 million after tax or $0.33 per fully diluted share benefit was recorded
as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the accompanying Consolidated 
Statement of Income.

2)  Discontinued Operations:

  In February 1994, the Corporation spun-off ITT Rayonier, the Corporation's 
wholly-owned forest products subsidiary, to ITT shareholders through a 
distribution of ITT Rayonier shares.  ITT Rayonier has been reflected as a 
"Discontinued Operation" in the accompanying financial statements.  The 
Corporation's consolidated equity was reduced by approximately $600 million as 
a result of the spin-off.  The Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flow 
for the three months ended March 31, 1993 have been restated to conform with 
the 1994 presentation.

ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  Income from ongoing segments for the first quarter increased 21% over the 
prior year's quarter. 

  Operating results in the Insurance segment, either before or after 
extraordinary catastrophe losses and capital gains, were 
significantly higher than the 1993 quarter, primarily due to improved domestic 
casualty underwriting results. Life insurance operations, before portfolio  
gains, also improved.  The Insurance improvement in operating results was
accomplished on a revenue increase of 2%.  Despite the extraordinary
catastrophes, the worldwide combined ratio, excluding operations in runoff,
improved from 108.5% in the 1993 quarter to 104.7% in 1994 due largely to
improved Domestic Property and Casualty underwriting experience.

  Insurance operating costs and expenses were as follows:

</TABLE>
  First quarter operating income for the Finance segment declined 38% to 
$44 million reflecting the strategic shift to improve asset quality and 
enhance its risk profile through secured lending at lower yields.  In 
addition, results reflected the adverse impact of the California earthquake on 
certain loans.  Revenues increased 4% from the 1993 quarter, reflecting higher 
average receivables.

  First quarter sales and operating income at Communications and Information 
Services are historically the lowest of the year as most yellow page 
directories are published later in the year.  Results approximated prior year 
levels.

  Sales for the Automotive segment increased by 11% over the 1993 quarter to 
$986 million, reflecting primarily higher car production in North America and 
higher installation rates of anti-lock brakes.  Operating income grew from 
$32 million to $60 million in the 1994 quarter, largely the result of higher 
sales volume and continued cost improvement actions.  On March 31, 1994, the 
Corporation completed the previously announced purchase of 80% of General 
Motors' Motors and Actuator Business Unit for $374 million.  The acquisition, 
hereafter called ITT Electrical Systems, Inc., will add geographic balance to 
ITT Automotive's North American and European product mix.  Annual sales are 
expected to approximate $900 million.

  ITT Defense & Electronics operating income increased $11 million due
primarily to continuing improvement in operating margins at the Electronics
units.  Results at the Defense units approximated the 1993 first quarter. 
Sales increased 17% from the 1993 quarter.  Order backlog was $2.1 billion at 
March 31, 1994 compared with $2.2 billion at March 31, 1993.

ITEM 2. (Continued)


  Operating income improved 31% at Fluid Technology from $13 million to 
$17 million on an 11% increase in sales reflecting volume increases and the 
benefits of cost reduction programs.

  The contribution of gaming operations was a major part of the improvement in 
ITT Sheraton's results as the Sheraton Desert Inn in Las Vegas exceeded 
expectations during its first full quarter under ITT Sheraton.  In addition, 
hotel operations improved reflecting lower corporate overhead and increases in 
operating income at several ITT owned properties.

  Dispositions and Other reflects the sales and operating losses of companies 
previously divested as well as ITT Community Development.  The 1993 quarter 
primarily included ITT Financial's domestic unsecured consumer loan business 
(divested in June, 1993) and ITT Components Distribution (divested in 
December, 1993).

  Net interest costs were lower than 1993 due principally to lower average 
debt levels.  "Other" consists of corporate expenses and nonoperating income 
and approximated the 1993 quarter.  Taxes increased in 1994 in line with the 
higher level of earnings.  The effective tax rate, excluding the Cumulative 
Effect of Accounting Changes and Discontinued Operations, increased from 30% 
to 33% due primarily to increases in the U.S. and foreign tax rates.

  Net income for the first quarter of 1994 was $219 million or $1.67 per common 
equivalent share on a fully diluted basis ($1.77 per primary share), compared 
with $175 million or $1.30 per fully diluted share ($1.37 per primary share) in 
the 1993 first quarter.  The 1994 quarter included two cumulative catch-up 
adjustments for accounting changes as discussed more fully in Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements; (1) a favorable adjustment of $42 million 
after tax or $0.33 per fully diluted share for a change in the discount rate 
used to determine certain workers compensation liabilities at the Insurance 
segment and, (2) a charge of $36 million after tax or $0.29 per fully diluted 
share for the adoption of SFAS No. 115 related to accounting for certain 
investments in debt and equity securities.  The results of ITT Rayonier have 
been reflected on a one-line basis in "Discontinued Operations" through the 
spin-off date of February 28, 1994.  Excluding the accounting changes and ITT 
Rayonier, income from continuing operations in the 1994 and 1993 quarters was 
$201 million or $1.54 per fully diluted share and $158 million or $1.17 per 
fully diluted share.  The 32% improvement in fully diluted earnings per share 
from continuing operations was generated on sales of $5.55 billion, a 3% 
increase over the 1993 quarter.  On a primary basis, earnings per share from 
continuing operations was $1.63 for the 1994 quarter compared to $1.23 per
share in the year-ago period.

  Net income in the current quarter was unfavorably impacted by $40 million 
after tax or $0.31 per fully diluted share for catastrophe losses in excess of 
expectations at the Insurance segment related to the California earthquake and 
winter freezes.  Winter Storm Josh and the bombing of the World Trade Center 
in New York adversely impacted earnings in the 1993 quarter by $41 million or 
$0.32 per fully diluted share.  The comparison to 1993 also included a 
reduction in after tax capital gains at the Insurance and Finance segments.  
After tax capital gains in the current quarter totalled $35 million or
$0.27 per fully diluted share compared to $42 million or $0.32 per fully
diluted share in the 1993 quarter.

ITEM 2. (Continued)

Cash Flow

  During the 1994 first quarter, the Corporation generated $118 million of cash 
from operating activities, down from $356 million in last year's quarter, due 
primarily to quarterly timing of cash flows and higher working capital needed 
to fund growth.  This cash, along with additional borrowings, was used to fund 
the acquisition of ITT Electrical Systems, Inc. and was reinvested in 
insurance investments, finance receivables and capital additions.  
Additionally, cash was used to pay dividends to shareholders which totalled 
$140 million and $68 million for the first three months of 1994 and 1993, 
respectively.  The 1994 amount included the payment of the 1993 fourth quarter 
and the 1994 first quarter.  Both quarters also included repurchases and 
redemption of common stock of $29 million and $41 million, respectively.  
There were no significant asset divestments during the quarter.  Accumulated 
depreciation amounted to 46% of gross plant at March 31, 1994, compared
with 47% at December 31, 1993.

  Cash expenditures for plant, property and equipment, including insurance and 
finance activities, were $113 million in the 1994 quarter and are projected to 
aggregate approximately $800 million for the full year compared with 
$505 million in 1993.  Depreciation for the first three months of 1994 was 
$117 million compared with $108 million in the corresponding 1993 period.

Debt and Liquidity
  Excluding Insurance and Finance debt, outstanding debt at March 31, 1994 was 
$3.6 billion compared with the December 31, 1993 balance of $3.5 billion
resulting in a debt to total capitalization ratio of 34% at March 31, 1994
compared with 33% at year-end 1993.  Insurance and Finance debt increased
from the December 31, 1993 level of approximately $10.4 billion to
$11.5 billion reflecting the growth in secured lending at Finance.  Debt was
68% of total capitalization including Insurance and Finance debt at
March 31, 1994 compared with 64% at year-end 1993.

  Stockholders equity decreased $800 million, to $6.8 billion from 
December 31, 1993 due to the spin-off of ITT Rayonier, a change in the 
unrealized loss on securities, net of tax, dividends and share repurchases, 
partially offset by first quarter income.  Under its share repurchase program, 
the Corporation repurchased approximately 227,000 common equivalent shares in 
the first three months of 1994 at an average price of $90.66 per share for a 
cash cost, including commissions, of $21 million.  The Corporation was not 
actively repurchasing shares during the quarter. An additional 190,000 shares 
were purchased through April 30 at an average price of $87.23 per share for a 
cash cost, including commissions, of $17 million.

Subsequent Event
  On April 28, 1994, ITT Educational Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary 
of the Corporation, filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission for the public sale of 2,300,000 shares of 
its common stock.  ITT Educational Services, Inc. is a leading proprietary 
provider of technical post-secondary degree programs in the United States 
through 48 ITT Technical Institutes in 24 states.  Proceeds will be used for 
general corporate purposes, including the expansion of its operations through 
opening additional technical institutes and adding academic programs at 
existing technical institutes.

                               SUPPORT AGREEMENT
                              DATED APRIL 28, 1994
                                    BETWEEN
                       ITT CORPORATION AND ITT FINANCIAL CORPORATION

    This agreement entered into as of this 28th day of April, 1994, by and 
between ITT CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("ITT"), and ITT FINANCIAL 
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Financial"),

                                  WITNESSETH:

    WHEREAS, ITT is the owner of all of the issued and outstanding voting 
capital stock of Financial;

    WHEREAS, Financial regularly borrows funds in the public and private 
capital markets to conduct its business;

    WHEREAS, ITT is willing to provide certain support to Financial in order to 
assure the ability of Financial to engage in financings at favorable terms; and

    WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly 
authorized by ITT and Financial and this Agreement will constitute the legal, 
valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto in accordance with its 
terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization 
and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' 
rights and to general equity principles; 

    NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the provisions contained herein, the 
parties hereto agree as follows:

    1. Ownership.  ITT or one or more of its direct or indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries or a combination thereof will continue to own at least a majority 
of the shares of capital stock of Financial having voting power for the 
election of directors, and ITT will not create or permit the creation of any 
mortgage, pledge or other lien on any of such shares so owned.

    2. Maintenance of Debt to Equity Ratio.  ITT will assure that the debt to 
equity ratio (as determined on a consolidated basis - excluding depository 
institutions - and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) 
for Financial, as determined from Financial's balance sheet as at the end of 
each calendar quarter, does not exceed 6.75 to 1.

    3. Commitment to Make Loans.  If Financial should at any time lack 
sufficient cash, other liquid assets or credit facilities to meet an obligation 
to pay principal of, or premium or interest on any commercial paper or other 
short-term debt for borrowed money of Financial on a timely basis, then ITT 
will lend to Financial on a subordinated basis up to $300 million in cash which 
Financial may use only for the purpose of meeting any such payment obligation.  
Any such loan by ITT to Financial will bear interest at a fluctuating interest 
rate per annum equal to the announced prime commercial lending rate of The 
Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. and will be repayable on demand at any time after 
the business day following the 29th day after such loan was made to Financial, 
except that no repayment of any such loan will be made during a period of 
default in the payment of any unsubordinated indebtedness for borrowed money of 
Financial.  The aggregate principal amount of loans to Financial hereunder at 
any one time outstanding is limited to $300 million.
<PAGE>

  4. Commercial Paper Coverage.  ITT will take all reasonable actions 
necessary to cause and assure that Financial at all times maintains unused 
committed bank lines of credit to back up its commercial paper borrowings in 
an amount not less than such commercial paper borrowings.

  5. Term.  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect while any 
debt for borrowed money of Financial is outstanding unless terminated by 
either party.  Each party reserves the right to terminate its obligations 
hereunder by notice to the other party delivered not less than 60 nor more 
than 90 days prior to such termination, but in no event shall such termination 
be earlier than July 31, 1995. In no event shall this Agreement be terminated 
if such termination would result in the downgrading of ITT Financial 
Corporation's outstanding debt by any one of the agencies engaged by the 
Company to rate its debt.

  6. Notices.  Any notice or other communication required or contemplated by 
this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered as follows:

NOTES:
(a) The adjustment for distributions in excess of (less than) undistributed 
    equity earnings and losses represents the adjustment to income for 
    distributions in excess of (less than) undistributed earnings and losses 
    of companies in which at least 20% but less than 50% equity is owned.
(b) The interest factor attributable to rentals was computed by calculating 
    the estimated present value of all long-term rental commitments and 
    applying the approximate weighted average interest rate inherent in the 
    lease obligations and adding thereto the interest element assumed in 
    short-term cancelable and contingent rentals excluded from the commitment 
    data but included in rental expense.
(c) The dividend requirements on preferred stock of ITT have been determined 
    by adding to the total preferred dividends an allowance for income taxes, 
    calculated on the effective income tax rate.
