  4)Discontinued Operations
  
    The accompanying financial statements for the three months and nine months
  ended September 30, 1995, reflect the results of ITT Corporation, a Delaware
  corporation ("ITT Delaware").  Discontinued Operations include the results of
  ITT Delaware's interests in the insurance business segment ("ITT Hartford"),
  ITT Delaware's interests in the hospitality and entertainment, and
  information services businesses ("ITT Corporation"), and a wholly-owned
  Finance business segment ("ITT Financial").  ITT Hartford and ITT Corporation
  were distributed to ITT Delaware's shareholders on December 19, 1995 (the
  "Distribution") and ITT Delaware was merged into ITT Industries, Inc. (the
  "Company").  ITT Delaware realized gross proceeds totaling $12.4 billion
  through September 30, 1995 from the sale of the businesses comprising ITT
  Financial.  Proceeds from these transactions were used primarily to repay ITT
  Financial debt.  ITT Delaware recognized an after tax gain of $403 ($667
  pretax) or $3.44 per fully diluted share in the second quarter of 1995,
  including a provision for the final asset sales and close down costs of ITT
  Financial.  Included in Other in the three months ended September 30, 1995
  was $36 million after-tax of severance and other costs related to the
  rationalization of headquarters operations in connection with the
  Distribution.
  
     Net income (loss) of the Company's Discontinued Operations, excluding the
  gain of $403 on the sale of ITT Financial, was comprised of the following:

   5)   Early Extinguishment of Debt

   In July 1995, the Company announced the successful completion of a tender
offer for an aggregate of $4.1 billion of its debt securities, with $3.4
billion, or 82% of the aggregate principal amount, having been tendered.
The tender offer was financed with the proceeds of commercial paper 
borrowings of approximately $3.7 billion. The tender offer resulted in the 
Company paying a tender premium of $307 after tax ($472 pretax) or $2.61 per
fully diluted share in the third quarter of 1995 which has been recorded as
an extraordinary loss on the early extinguishment of debt.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                        

Results of Operations

  Three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 compared  with  three  months  ended
September 30, 1995

  The Company reported net income of $43 million or $.36 per fully diluted
share compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $54 million or 
$.46 per fully diluted share, reported in the 1995 third quarter.  The 1995 
third quarter results include an after-tax charge of $86 million associated 
with the disposition of non-strategic assets.  Excluding these charges, the 
1995 third quarter earnings would have been $32 million or $.27 per share.  
The increase in net income from continuing operations, in the current 
quarter, was attributable primarily to lower headquarters expenses and the 
absence of charges related to ITT Semiconductors and ITT Community 
Development Corporation recorded in the prior year.  In the 1995 third 
quarter, a net loss of $174 million or $1.49 per fully diluted share was 
reported, including $187 million of net income from Discontinued Operations 
and a $307 million extraordinary loss on the early retirement of debt.

  Net sales, excluding Dispositions & Other, for the third quarter of 1996,
exceeded the third quarter of 1995, due to increases in sales at Automotive and
Fluid Technology offset by a slight decline in sales at Defense and Electronics.
Operating income for the third quarter of 1996 of $110 million was slightly
higher than the $95 million in the third quarter of 1995.  The increase in
operating income was attributable to slightly higher earnings at Automotive and
Defense & Electronics along with significantly lower headquarters expenses.  The
decrease in headquarters expenses reflects the lower expenses of ITT Industries
as an independent entity in 1996 compared to its apportioned share of
headquarters expenses off ITT Delaware in 1995. Other operating income/expenses,
which include gains and losses from foreign exchange translations and other
charges, was expense of $1 million in the current quarter compared with income
of $8 million in the 1995 third quarter.  Operating margins were 5.4% in the
third quarter of 1996 compared to 4.6% in the third quarter of 1995, a result
of the factors discussed above.

                                  7
<PAGE>



  Net interest expense was $35 million for the third quarter of 1996 and $33
million in 1995.  Interest expense in the 1996 quarter reflects actual interest
expenses incurred on debt assumed by ITT Industries on, or subsequent to, the
Distribution, while interest expense in the 1995 quarter reflected an allocation
of total ITT Delaware's interest between the continuing operations and
Discontinued Operations, based on debt outstanding at that time.  Interest
income decreased from $11 million in the third quarter of 1995 to $5 million in
the third quarter of 1996.  This decrease is a result of maintaining lower cash
balances by using available cash to reduce debt.

    The effective income tax rate, excluding the charges in 1995 for disposition
of non-strategic assets and the related tax, approximated 39% in the 1996 third
quarter and 48% in the 1995 third quarter.  The 1995 period was impacted by
certain domestic losses for which no tax benefit was realized.  Income tax
expense, excluding $46 million of tax benefit on charges related to the
disposition of non-strategic assets, decreased by $1 million, to $28 million in
the 1996 third quarter, due to the lower effective tax rate as discussed above
offset by higher pretax earnings.

 Business Segments--Sales and operating income for each of the Company's three
major continuing business segments were as follows for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, and 1995 ($ in millions):

      $1,269     $1,231   Automotive   $  74        $ 72

</TABLE>

ITT Automotive's third quarter sales were higher than the 1995 sales level,
primarily due to increased market penetration and vehicle production volumes,
partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar, production mix and lower
selling prices.  The $2 million increase in operating income was primarily
attributable to cost reduction actions in excess of price reductions.

</TABLE>

ITT Defense & Electronics revenue was down 5.0%, from the prior year third
quarter, due to the timing of shipments at the defense segment and unfavorable
foreign exchange translation in the electronics segment.  However, operating
income was 4.6% higher in the 1996 period due to operating improvements at the
interconnect business.

ITT Fluid Technology's 1996 third quarter sales increased over the comparable
1995 period as a result of growth in emerging markets and strong order input
from the industrial, commercial, and aerospace sectors. Operating income for the
third quarter of 1996 had a slight decrease from the 1995 third quarter.  This
decrease in operating income was due primarily to unfavorable foreign exchange
and the absence of income from a unit divested earlier this year.

Nine  months ended September 30, 1996 compared with nine months ended September
30, 1995

Net income of $151 million or $1.26 per fully diluted share exceeded the $37
million or $.23 per fully diluted share, of income from continuing operations,
reported in the 1995 period.  The increase was caused by an after-tax provision,
recorded in the nine months of 1995, of $115 million or $1.06 per fully diluted
share for the expected loss on the disposal of ITT Semiconductors, a portion of
ITT Community Development Corporation, and certain other non-strategic assets.
Excluding this provision and its related impact on the effective tax rate, 1995
net income from continuing operations would have been $152 million or $1.29 per
fully diluted share. Net income, for the first nine months of 1995, was $666
million or $5.59 per fully diluted share including income from Discontinued
Operations of $936 million (including $403 million reflecting the gain on the
sale of ITT Financial) and a $307 million extraordinary loss for the early
retirement of debt.

Net sales totaling $6.5 billion, for the first nine months of 1996, were
slightly below the $6.6 billion for the 1995 period.  This decrease is
attributable to price reductions at Automotive and unfavorable foreign exchange
translation and the timing of shipments at Defense & Electronics, partially
offset by an increase in ITT Fluid Technology's sales. Operating income for the
first nine months of 1996 was $367 million, which included the impacts of the GM
strike and the restructuring charge at ITT Automotive in the first and second
quarters of 1996, compared with $337 million reported in the 1995 period.  The
increase in operating income was attributable to higher earnings at Defense &
Electronics and Fluid Technology, along with significantly lower headquarters
expenses.  The decrease in headquarters expenses reflects the lower expenses of
ITT Industries as an independent entity in 1996 compared to its apportioned
share of headquarters expenses of ITT Delaware in 1995.  Other operating
income/expenses, which includes gains and losses from foreign exchange
translations and other charges, was expense of $5 million in the 1996 period,
compared with income of $2 million in the 1995 period.  Operating margins rose
to 5.7% in the first nine months of 1996, up from 5.1% in the comparable period
of 1995, a result of the factors discussed above.

Net interest expense increased to $108 million compared with $92 million in
1995.  Interest expense for 1996 reflects actual interest expense incurred on
debt assumed by ITT Industries on, or subsequent to, the Distribution, while
interest expense in 1995 reflected an allocation of ITT Delaware's total
interest expense between the continuing operations and Discontinued Operations,
based on debt outstanding in 1995.  Interest income for the first nine months of
1996 decreased to $15 million from $32 million in the first nine months of 1995,
as a result of maintaining lower cash balances by using available cash to reduce
debt.

Miscellaneous expense, for the first nine months of 1995, includes the
aforementioned provision for the expected loss on the disposal of ITT
Semiconductors, a portion of ITT Community Development Corporation and certain
other non-strategic assets.  The effective income tax rate, excluding the
charges in 1995 for disposition of non-strategic assets and the related tax,
approximated 40% in 1996 and 38% in 1995.  Income tax expense, excluding $48
million of tax benefit on charges related to the disposition of non-strategic
assets, increased by $10 million, to $103 million in the 1996 period, due to the
higher pretax earnings and higher effective tax rate.

 Business Segments -- Sales and operating income for each of the Company's three
major continuing business segments were as follows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, and 1995 ($ in millions):

</TABLE>
ITT Automotive's revenues, for the first nine months of 1996, were lower than
the 1995 nine month period, due primarily to price reductions and unfavorable
foreign exchange translation partially offset by increased market penetration
and vehicle production volumes.  Operating income was reduced in the first nine
months of 1996 by the GM strike and a restructuring charge in the first half of
1996.  This decrease was partially offset by net cost reduction actions in
excess of price reductions.

</TABLE>
ITT Defense & Electronics revenue was down from the prior year nine month
period, due to the timing of shipments at the defense segment and unfavorable
foreign exchange translation in the electronics segment.  Despite lower sales,
operating income was 9.8% higher due to operating efficiencies which enabled
improved margins in both the defense and electronics businesses.

</TABLE>
ITT Fluid Technology's 1996 nine month sales were 4.8% higher than the
comparable 1995 period due to higher sales volume, despite weak market
conditions in France and Germany and the sale of ITT General Controls product
line.  Operating income increased slightly over the first nine months of 1995.
This improvement was attributable to strong performances from several business
lines, as well as continued growth in emerging markets and cost control actions,
partially offset by the loss of operating income due to the sale of ITT General
Controls product line.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  Operating cash flow from continuing operations was $139 million in the first
nine months, offset by payments of $142 million related to Discontinued
Operations, principally prior year's tax payments and expenses related to the
Distribution.  Operating cash flow, including Discontinued Operations, in the
first nine months of 1995 was an outflow of $303 million.

     Many of the Company's businesses require substantial investment in plant
and tooling in order to produce competitively superior products.  Expenditures
for plant additions totaled $265 million in the first nine months of 1996, with
approximately 69% of that total incurred at Automotive, primarily in ABS,
electric motors, and brake and wiper systems.  Spending for the first nine
months of 1995 was $276 million, 61% of which was also at Automotive.  Cash
expenditures for plant, property, and equipment are projected to approximate
last year's level of $450 million for the full year.

  Cash inflows in the first nine months of 1996 included $124 million from the
sale of land and other assets, including a portion of ITT Community Development
Corporation and ITT General Controls product line.

  The increase in working capital (receivables, inventory, payables, and accrued
liabilities) required a cash outflow of approximately $395 million. This was due
largely to an increase in receivables due to seasonality and the timing of a
payment to Automotive from a major customer and a reduction of accounts payable
at Automotive and Defense & Electronics.

  External borrowings were $1,780 million at September 30, 1996, compared with
$1,607 million at December 31, 1995.  Cash and cash equivalents were $103
million at September 30, 1996, compared to $94 million at year end 1995.  The
higher debt level at September 30, 1996, reflects the cash flows discussed
above.

  Shareholders' equity increased $94 million during the first nine months of
1996, due primarily to growth in retained earnings.  The Company paid dividends
of $.15 per share for each of the first three quarters of 1996.  A fourth
quarter dividend of the same amount will be paid on January 1, 1997.

    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 dividends on preferred stock have been determined by adding to the 
    total preferred dividends an allowance for income taxes, calculated on the 
    effective income tax rate.
