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 June 30, 1994, the unrealized loss on securities, 
net of tax was $813 million including an unrealized loss pertaining to equity 
securities of $8 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 six months ended June 30, 1993 have been restated to conform with the 
1994 presentation.

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


  Net income for the second quarter was $258 million or $1.97 per fully 
diluted share ($2.11 per primary share), compared with $267 million or $2.02 
per fully diluted share ($2.15 per primary share) in the 1993 second quarter.  
There were no significant items in the 1994 second quarter which distort 
comparisons with other periods.  The 1993 second quarter included after-tax 
portfolio gains of $25 million or $0.20 per fully diluted share.  Results for 
the 1993 quarter also included; (1) an after-tax gain of $63 million or $0.48 
per fully diluted share on the sale of the unsecured consumer small loan 
business at ITT Financial, (2) an extraordinary after-tax charge of $50 
million, or $0.38 per share representing the loss on the early extinguishment 
of debt at ITT Financial, (3) $26 million, or $0.20 per share, from the 
company's discontinued forest products operation, ITT Rayonier, (which was 
spun off to shareholders in February 1994), and (4) a $13 million after-tax 
charge, or $0.10 per fully diluted share, for the first phase of restructuring 
of Headquarter's operations.  Excluding these 1993 items, net income and 
earnings per share rose 19% and 22%, respectively, in the 1994 second quarter.  
Sales and revenues for the second quarter were $6.4 billion, a 9% increase 
over the $5.8 billion in the 1993 quarter.

  Net income for the 1994 six months was $477 million, or $3.64 per fully 
diluted share ($3.88 primary) compared with $442 million, or $3.32 per share 
($3.52 primary) in 1993.  The 1994 period included two cumulative catch-up 
adjustments for accounting changes as fully discussed in the 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 SFAS No.115 related to accounting for certain 
investments in debt and equity securities, while the 1993 period included 
those items discussed previously.  The results for six months of 1994 included 
after-tax portfolio gains of $35 million or $0.27 per fully diluted share 
compared with $67 million or $0.52 per fully diluted share in 1993.  The 1994 
period was unfavorably impacted by $40 million after tax or $0.31 fully 
diluted share for catastrophe losses in excess of expectations at the 
Insurance segment related to the California earthquake and winter freezes.  
The 1993 period was adversely impacted by Winter Storm Josh and the bombing of 
the World Trade Center in New York in the first quarter by $41 million or 
$0.32 per fully diluted share.  Excluding these items in both the 1994 and 
1993 six month periods, comparable net income and earnings per share rose 24% 
and 27%, respectively.  Sales and revenues for the first six months were $11.9 
billion, compared with $11.2 billion in 1993, an increase of 6%.

  Income from ongoing segments for the second quarter and six months rose by 
$36 million (8%) and $98 million (13%) compared with the respective 1993 
periods.

  In the Insurance segment, excluding portfolio gains which were $35 million 
higher in the 1993 quarter, both revenues and operating income rose over the 
1993 second quarter reflecting improved underwriting results in several lines 
(particularly commercial) of the domestic property and casualty business as 
well as strong revenue growth in the Life operations.

ITEM 2. (Continued)


Excluding operations in runoff, the worldwide combined ratio improved to 
103.5% compared with 104.8% in the 1993 quarter.  For the six month period, 
revenues and operating income improved significantly compared with 1993 either 
before or after both portfolio gains and the effects of excessive catastrophe 
losses, again due to improved domestic underwriting results.  The combined 
ratio for the six months, excluding operations in runoff, improved to 104.1% 
from 106.6% in 1993.

  Insurance operating costs and expenses were as follows:

</TABLE>
  Operating income in the Finance segment declined $26 million and $53 million 
for the second quarter and six months reflecting the strategic shift to 
improve asset quality and enhance risk portfolio through secured lending at 
lower yields.  In addition, results for the six months reflected the adverse 
impact of the California earthquake on certain loans.  The California 
portfolio is being closely monitored as the economic climate in that state 
remains depressed.  Revenues for the second quarter and six months were flat 
compared with 1993.

  Both sales and operating income at Communications and Information Services 
were slightly below 1993 for both the second quarter and six months due to 
lower volume at several ITT World Directories units partially offset by 
increased enrollments at ITT Educational Services.

  Operating income at the Automotive segment, which included the first full 
quarter of Electrical Systems, Inc., its newly acquired motors and actuators 
business, improved 93% and 91% for the second quarter and six months compared 
with the 1993 periods.  Even excluding Electrical Systems, Inc., operating 
income rose dramatically as a result of increased sales volume in most product 
lines including domestic and European anti-lock brakes and the continuing 
benefits from cost reduction programs.  Sales improved 37% for the second 
quarter and 24% for the six months compared with the 1993 periods.

  ITT Defense & Electronics operating income increased 18% and 82% for the
second quarter and six months, compared with 1993, primarily due to continuing 
improvement in operating margins at the Electronics units which, as a group, 
has returned to profitability.  Sales were flat for the quarter but increased 
over 7% for the six month period.  Order backlog was $2.3 billion at June 30, 
1994 compared with $2.2 million at June 30, 1993.

  Operating income at Fluid Technology was down slightly for the quarter and 
was flat for the six months, when compared with the prior year, mainly the 
result of favorable foreign exchange impacts in the 1993 period.  Sales, 
however, improved 4% and 7% for the respective periods.

ITEM 2. (Continued)


  Significant improvements continued at Sheraton resulting in operating income 
increasing by more than 100% on a 17% increase in revenues compared with the 
1993 second quarter.  Strong results in the North American division coupled 
with a reduction in corporate overhead were the primary contributors to the 
improvement.  A significant increase in occupancy levels and average rates in 
the 1994 second quarter compared with the 1993 quarter were indicative of the 
results.  For the six months, the corresponding increases in operating income 
and revenues were 97% and 18%, respectively.

  Dispositions and Other reflects the sales and operating losses of companies 
previously divested as well as ITT Community Development.  The 1993 second 
quarter and six months also included the results of ITT Financial's domestic 
unsecured consumer small loan business (divested in June, 1993), the related 
$95 million pretax gain on the sale of the business, and ITT Components 
Distribution (divested in December, 1993.)

  Net interest costs increased in the second quarter and six months, primarily 
the result of higher average net interest rates.  "Other" consists of 
corporate expenses, minority equity and non-operating income, which decreased 
in the second quarter, primarily the result of the absence of a $20 million 
pretax ($13 million after-tax) charge to cover costs associated with the first 
phase of a restructuring program aimed at increasing the effectiveness and 
productivity of support staff at ITT World Headquarters and the headquarters 
of the company's businesses which was recorded in the second quarter of 1993.

  Income taxes decreased in the second quarter of 1994 versus 1993 due to a 
decrease in pretax income from continuing operations.  Income taxes related to 
Discontinued Operations, Extraordinary Item and Cumulative Effect of Accounting
Changes are reflected within those captions separately on the income statement. 
For the six months, income taxes increased due to an increase in pretax income 
and higher U.S. and foreign income tax rates.  The Corporation's effective tax 
rate was 32% in the 1994 six months versus 31% in the comparable 1993 period.

Cash Flow

  During the first six months of 1994, the Corporation generated $296 million 
of cash from operating activities, down from $505 million in the same period 
last year, due primarily to the timing of cash flows, higher income tax 
payments reflecting higher taxable income and higher working capital 
requirements needed to fund growth.  This cash, along with additional 
borrowings, was used to fund the acquisition of ITT Electrical Systems, Inc., 
and various hotel properties in addition to reinvestment in insurance 
investments and capital additions.  Additionally, cash was used to repurchase 
common shares as well as redeem preferred stock ($89 million in 1994 and $95 
million in 1993) and to pay dividends to shareholders which totalled $210 
million and $139 million for the first six months of 1994 and 1993, 
respectively.  The 1994 amount included payment of the 1993 fourth quarter and 
the 1994 first and second quarters.  There were no significant asset 
divestments during the 1994 period, however, 1993 included the divestment of 
the unsecured consumer small loan portfolio at ITT Financial Corporation.

ITEM 2. (Continued)


  Cash expenditures for plant, property and equipment, including insurance and 
finance activities, were $283 million in the first six months of 1994 and are 
projected to aggregate approximately $800 million for the full year compared 
with $505 million in 1993.  Depreciation for the first six months of 1994 was 
$214 million compared with $190 million in the corresponding 1993 period.  
Accumulated depreciation amounted to 45% of gross plant at June 30, 1994, 
compared with the 47% at December 31, 1993.

Debt and Liquidity

  Excluding Insurance and Finance debt, outstanding debt at June 30, 1994 was 
$3.9 billion compared with the December 31, 1993 balance of $3.5 billion 
resulting in a debt to total capitalization ratio of 38% at June 30, 1994 
compared with 33% at year-end 1993.  Insurance and Finance debt increased from 
the December 1993 level of $10.4 billion to $12.2 billion, reflecting the 
growth in secured lending at Finance.  Debt was 71% of the total 
capitalization when including Insurance and Finance debt at June 30, 1994, 
compared with 64% at year-end 1993.  The debt to total capitalization ratios 
in 1994 have been impacted by the adoption of SFAS No.115, Accounting for 
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, which requires investments
to be reflected at market value with the corresponding impact reported as a
separate component of Stockholders Equity.  Excluding this impact, debt to 
total capitalization would be 35% without Insurance and Finance and 68% on a 
fully consolidated basis.

  Stockholders equity decreased $1.1 billion, to $6.5 billion from December 
31, 1993 due primarily to the spin-off of ITT Rayonier and the effect of a 
market value adjustment to the carrying value of the insurance and finance 
investment portfolios as required under SFAS No.115.  Dividends and share 
repurchases along with the six months net income also impacted stockholders 
equity.  Under its share repurchases program, the Corporation repurchased 
approximately 896,000 common equivalent shares in the first six months of 1994 
at an average price of $86.61 per share for a cash cost, including 
commissions, of $78 million.  An additional 445,000 shares were repurchased 
through July 31 at an average price of $82.04 per share for a cash cost, 
including commissions, of $36 million.

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.
