                         FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The following unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the
periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such SEC rules. The Company believes that the disclosures made are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Certain
amounts in the prior periods' consolidated condensed financial
statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period
presentation. It is suggested that these financial statements be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

4) New Accounting Pronouncement

   In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 128 "Earnings per
Share", which is effective for financial statements for periods ending
after December 15, 1997. SFAS 128 requires replacement of primary and
fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per
share. The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share under SFAS
128 would have been $.37 and $.37, respectively, for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, and $.34 and $.33, respectively, for the three
months ended March 31, 1996.

5) Subsequent Event

   On April 21, 1997, ITT Industries, Inc. announced that it had
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Goulds Pumps,
Incorporated ("Goulds") for $37 a share or approximately $815 million
in cash, plus assumption of $119 million of Goulds' debt. Under the
terms of the agreement, which was unanimously approved by the boards of
directors of both companies, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ITT
Industries, Inc. will commence a cash tender offer for all of the
outstanding shares of Goulds. The tender offer will be subject to the
valid tender of Goulds' shares representing a majority of the voting
power of Goulds, the expiration of waiting periods under applicable
antitrust and competition laws, and other customary closing conditions.
The offer is not subject to financing. Goulds is a supplier of
industrial, residential and commercial pumps, parts and accessories.
The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase and will be

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

Results of Operations

  Three months ended March 31, 1997 compared with three months ended
  March 31, 1996

 Net income of $44.3 million or $.37 per fully diluted share represents
a 10.9% increase over the $40.0 million or $.33 per fully diluted share
of net income reported in the 1996 first quarter. The increase in net
income was attributable to a decrease in interest expense and positive
results at Defense & Electronics and Fluid Technology partially  offset
by a small profit decline at Automotive.

  Net sales for the first quarter of 1997 were below the first quarter
of 1996, due mainly to lower sales at non-core operations held for
disposition and unfavorable foreign exchange translation. Operating
income for the first quarter of 1997 of $103.3 million was slightly
below the $105.1 million in the first quarter of 1996, driven mainly by
a decline in earnings of companies held for disposition, partially
offset by higher earnings at Defense & Electronics and Fluid
Technology. Other operating income/expenses, which include gains and
losses from foreign exchange transactions and other charges, was
expense of $8.2 million in the current quarter, compared with income of
$2.3 million in the 1996 first quarter. Operating margins were 4.8% in
both quarters, a result of the earnings remaining fairly constant
despite the sales decline.

  Interest expense for the first quarter of 1997 decreased to $33.3
million compared with $43.3 million in the 1996 first quarter. The
reduction in interest expense is attributable to lower interest rates
resulting from the continuation of the debt restructuring implemented
in 1996. Interest income was $3.4 million in the current quarter
compared to $8.6 million in the prior quarter, a result of maintaining
lower cash balances.

  The effective income tax rate was reduced to 39% in the 1997 first
quarter from 42.2% in the 1996 first quarter, a result of tax reduction
initiatives implemented in 1996 and a shift in earnings from
jurisdictions with higher tax rates to jurisdictions with lower tax
rates. Income tax expense decreased slightly to $28.3 million in the
1997 first quarter, due to the lower effective tax rate 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 March 31, 1997, and 1996 ($ in millions):

</TABLE>
Although ITT Automotive's volume was up as a result of a 5% increase,
over the prior year, in worldwide automobile production for the first
quarter, Automotive's revenue was down approximately $27.2 million due
to unfavorable  foreign exchange and continued pricing pressures from
original equipment manufacturers. Operating income was adversely
affected by lower prices, the ramp-up of the new MK-20, and the
continued strength of the dollar, partially offset by the increase in
volume and the absence of costs associated with the General Motors
strike reported in the prior year.

</TABLE>
ITT Defense & Electronics' revenue was up 15.7% from the prior year
first quarter due to strong defense order input received in 1996 and
improving interconnect market conditions.  Operating income was 25.2%
higher in the 1997 period due to improved volume and margins at ITT
Cannon's interconnect lines and volume gains in defense lines.

</TABLE>
ITT Fluid Technology's 1997 first quarter sales were flat compared to
the 1996 period. Sales were adversely impacted by foreign exchange
translation and the absence of $4.7 million in sales from the General
Controls product line, which was sold in the second quarter of 1996.
The improvement in operating margin was the result of cost control
actions in Europe and operating improvements at several North American
units.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Cash from operating activities was $53.2 million for the first
quarter of 1997 compared to $(99.8) million in the prior year,
primarily the result of lower working capital requirements and absence
of payments related to discontinued operations.

 The increase in working capital (receivables, inventory, payables, and
accrued liabilities) required a cash outflow of approximately  $170.7
million, due largely to a seasonal increase in receivables. Working
capital required a cash outflow of $202.8 million in the first quarter
of 1996 due to a seasonal increase in receivables and a reduction in
accounts payable at Automotive.

  Many of the Company's businesses require substantial investment  in
plant and tooling in order to produce their products. Gross plant
additions totaled $75.7 million in the 1997 first quarter, with
approximately 71% of that total incurred at Automotive. First quarter
1996 spending was $86.8 million, two-thirds of which was also at
Automotive.

  Cash inflows in the first quarter of 1996 included $47.3 million from
the sale of land and other assets, including a portion of ITT Community
Development Corporation.

  External borrowings were $1,345.1 million at March 31, 1997, compared
with $1,418.8 million at December 31, 1996. Cash and cash equivalents
were $61.5 million at March 31, 1997, compared to $121.9 million at
year-end 1996. The lower debt level at March 31, 1997, reflects foreign
exchange gains, which more than offset funding for working capital needs
and capital additions.

    Shareholders' equity increased $39.8 million during the first
quarter of 1997, due to growth in retained earnings and cumulative
translation adjustments. On April 1, 1997, the Company paid a
quarterly dividend of $.15 per share. A second quarterly dividend of
the same amount will be paid on July 1, 1997.

    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) One-third of rental expense is deemed to be representative of interest
       factor in rental expense.

    c) The dividend requirements on preferred stock have been determined by 
       adding to the total preferred dividends an allowance for income taxes,
       calculated at the effective income tax rate.
