                         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 and subsequent
quarterly filings.

4) New Accounting Issues

   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 earnings (loss) per share under SFAS 128
would have been $(.77 ) and $.37 for the three months ended September 
30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, respectively and $.30 and $1.29 for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and September 30, 1996,
respectively. The pro forma diluted earnings per share under SFAS 128
would have been $(.77) and $.36 for the three months ended September 30,
1997 and September 30, 1996, respectively and $.30 and $1.26 for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, respectively.

   In January 1997, the SEC issued amendments to its rules which
clarify and expand disclosure requirements for derivative financial
instruments.  As of September 30, 1997, there has been no significant
change in the market risk, or accounting policy associated with
derivative financial instruments as stated in the Company's 1996 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

5) Acquisition

     On May 23, 1997 (the "date of acquisition") the Company acquired
Goulds Pumps, Incorporated ("Goulds") for a purchase price of
approximately $870 (the "acquisition").  The acquisition was funded
with short-term borrowings and was accounted for using the purchase
method.  Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values at
the date of acquisition.  The purchase price allocations have been
prepared on a preliminary basis and changes are expected as evaluations
of assets and liabilities are completed and as additional information
becomes available.  The purchase price, plus assumed liabilities of
$342, exceeded the fair value of the assets acquired by approximately
$675 and has been recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized over a
period of 40 years.  The operating results of Goulds have been included
in the consolidated condensed income statements from the date of
acquisition.  The following unaudited pro forma financial information
presents results as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of
the respective periods:

             -Fully diluted     (0.75)       .34         .22       1.16
</TABLE>

These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes
only, and include certain adjustments such as additional depreciation
expense as a result of a step-up in the basis of fixed assets,
additional amortization expense as a result of goodwill arising from
the purchase, and increased interest expense on acquisition debt.  The
pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations which actually would have resulted had the purchase been in
effect at the beginning of the respective periods or of future results.

6) Special Charges

     During the third quarter of 1997, the Corporation took several
actions to strengthen the operating performance of the Company and
improve operating efficiencies.  As a result, ITT Industries has
recognized a $239.0 pre-tax charge to operating income.  A
restructuring charge of $114.4 was recognized at the ITT
Automotive and ITT Fluid Technologies units.  These restructuring
charges relate primarily to the write-down of assets and to severance
costs associated with the closure and consolidation of facilities and
related workforce reductions.  An additional charge of $91.1 
was recognized by the Corporation for estimated losses on the planned
sales of certain non-core businesses including the sale of the ITT
Semiconductors business which was consumated in October 1997.  Other
special charges of $31.5 have been recognized for conforming
the accounting policies of the recently acquired Goulds Pumps, Inc.
with ITT Industries' accounting policies and to increase environmental
reserves.

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

Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 1997 compared with three months ended
September 30, 1996

 A net loss of $91.1 million or a $.75 loss per fully diluted share was
reported in the third quarter 1997 compared to net income of $43.7
million or $.36 per fully diluted share reported in the 1996 third
quarter.  The decline was caused by after-tax special charges of $145.8
million ($239.0 million pre-tax), or $1.20 per share taken in the third
quarter to implement a profit improvement plan.  Excluding these special
charges, net income was $54.7 million or $.45 per fully diluted share,
a 25.0% improvement over the prior year.  This improvement is
attributable to increased profitability at Defense & Electronics and
Fluid Technology, a decline in interest expense, and a gain on the sale
of the North American seats operations, partially offset by a decline in
profitability at Automotive.

 Net sales for the third quarter of 1997 were slightly higher than the
third quarter of 1996, due mainly to the inclusion of sales from
Goulds.  Offsetting the favorable impact of the inclusion of sales from
Goulds, were unfavorable foreign exchange translation and lower sales
at Automotive reflecting the disposal of two product lines in the
current year.  An operating loss for the third quarter of 1997 of
$123.9 million included special charges of $239.0 million as discussed
above.  Excluding the special charges, operating income was $115.1
million, an improvement of 5.2% over the $109.4 million reported in
1996.  Operating income increased because of the inclusion of Goulds'
operations and profit improvement at Defense & Electronics, partially
offset by a decline in Automotive's operations and slightly higher
headquarters expenses.  Other operating expenses, which include gains
and losses from foreign exchange transactions and other charges, were
$4.0 million in the current quarter, compared to $.9 million in the
1996 third quarter.  Operating margins, excluding special charges,
were 5.6% in the third quarter of 1997 compared to 5.4% in the third
quarter of 1996.

 Interest expense for the third quarter of 1997 decreased to $37.1
million compared to $40.2 million in the 1996 third quarter.  The
reduction in interest expense is attributable to lower interest rates
resulting from the debt restructuring implemented in the fourth quarter
of 1996, partially offset by additional interest expense on debt
related to the acquisition of Goulds.  Interest income was $4.5 million
in the current quarter compared to $5.7 million in the prior year third
quarter, a result of lower cash balances.

 The effective income tax rate was 39.0% in the third quarter for both
years.  Excluding the tax benefit on the special charges, of $93.2
million, income tax expense increased by $7.0 million to $34.9 million
in the 1997 third quarter due to higher pretax earnings.

Business Segments- Sales and operating income for the three months
ended September 30, 1997, and 1996 ($ in millions) for each of the
Company's three major continuing business segments were as follows:

</TABLE>
Automotive's sales were down approximately $154.5 million or 12.2% due
primarily to unfavorable foreign exchange and the absence of sales from
the two product lines sold in the current year.  The special charges of
$113.0 million taken in the third quarter resulted in an operating loss
at Automotive of $51.4 million.  Excluding special charges, operating
income for the 1997 third quarter of $61.6 million was $12.0 million
lower than the third quarter of 1996 because of unfavorable foreign
exchange and continued sales price declines, partially offset by
volume/mix gains and cost reductions.

</TABLE>

ITT Defense & Electronics' revenue for the quarter was up 7.9% from the
prior year due to sales growth in both the defense and electronics
segments of the business.  Strong backlog and new contracts for
SINCGARS (Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio Systems) and
National Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite System were the drivers
of the sales growth in the defense segment.  Electronics sales growth
was primarily in the infocom and aerospace markets.  Operating income
increased 14.0% over the 1996 third quarter, driven by the continued
strong operating performance at Cannon.

</TABLE>


ITT Fluid Technology's 1997 third quarter sales were 54.5% higher than
the 1996 third quarter primarily due to the inclusion of sales from
Goulds.  Sales growth in the United States and United Kingdom were
partially offset by foreign exchange translation and a continued
decline in municipal spending in Western Europe.  The operating loss of
$25.9 million was the result of $68.8 million of special charges taken
in the third quarter of 1997.  Excluding the special charges, operating
income of $42.9 million was $16.9 million higher than the third quarter
of 1996 largely due to the inclusion of Goulds' operations.  Fluid
Technology also had improvement in their margins because of higher
margins at their Flygt operations and the realization of the benefits
from the 1996 restructuring in Germany.

Nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with nine months ended
September 30, 1996

  Net income of $35.8 million or $.29 per fully diluted share was
reported in the first nine months of 1997 compared to the $151.4
million or $1.26 per fully diluted share reported in the first nine
months of 1996.  The current year net income included after-tax special
charges including restructuring and losses related to the disposal of
non-core businesses of $145.8 million, or $1.20 per share.  Excluding
the special charges, net income was $181.6 million or $1.49 per fully
diluted share, a 19.9% increase over the prior year.  The increase in
net income was attributable to a reduction in interest expense,
operating income gains at Defense & Electronics, and gains from the
sale of the Company's North American aftermarket and seats operations
as well as industrial lighting and plastic components business,
partially offset by a profit decline at Automotive.

 The Company's sales were $6,478.0 million, or flat compared to the
1996 first nine months.  The additional sales from Goulds were offset
by unfavorable foreign exchange translation and lower sales at non-core
operations held for disposition.  Operating income for the first nine
months of 1997 of $136.6 million included special charges of $239.0
million as previously discussed.  Excluding the special charges,
current year operating income of $375.6 million exceeded the $366.6
million in the prior year due to the inclusion of Goulds' operations
since the date of acquisition and higher earnings at Defense &
Electronics, partially offset by a decline in earnings at Automotive and
companies held for disposition.  Other operating expenses, which
include gains and losses from foreign exchange transactions and other
charges, was $16.1 million for the first nine months of 1997, compared
to $4.9 million for the 1996 first nine months.  Operating margins,
excluding special charges, were 5.8% in the first nine months of 1997
compared to 5.7% in the first nine months of 1996.

 Interest expense for the first nine months of 1997 was $101.4 million,
a decrease of $22.0 million from the $123.4 million in the first nine
months of 1996.  The reduction in interest expense is attributable to
lower interest rates resulting from the debt restructuring implemented
in the fourth quarter of 1996, partially offset by interest

                                   9
<PAGE>
expense on debt related to the acquisition of Goulds.  Interest income
was $12.0 million for the current nine month period compared to $15.6
million for the prior year nine month period, a result of lower cash 
balances.

 The effective income tax rate was 39.0% for the 1997 first nine months
compared to 40.4% in the first nine months of 1996.  Excluding the tax
benefit on the special charges, of $93.2 million, income tax expense
increased by $13.3 million to $116.0 million in the 1997 period due to
higher pretax earnings.


 Business Segments- Sales and operating income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, and 1996 ($ in millions) for each of the
Company's three major continuing business segments were as follows:

Automotive's revenue was down $244.0 million or 5.9% due primarily to
unfavorable foreign exchange and the absence of sales from two product
lines sold in the current year.  Operating income, excluding the
special charges of $113.0 million, for the first nine months of 1997 of
$236.3 million was $14.5 million lower than the first nine months of
1996, a result of lower prices, unfavorable foreign exchange, and the
ramp-up of the new MK-20, partially offset by an increase in volume,
and cost reductions.

</TABLE>               


Sales growth in both the defense and interconnect segments of the
business resulted in a 10.5% increase in ITT Defense & Electronics
revenue from the prior year first nine months.  The increase in the
defense segment sales is due to order input received in 1996 and strong
growth in the international sector.  The interconnect segment sales
increase is due to improving market conditions.  Operating income was
16.5% higher in the 1997 period, driven by a strong operating
performance at Cannon and volume gains in defense lines.

</TABLE>               



ITT Fluid Technology's 1997 first nine months sales were 26.8% higher
than the 1996 nine month period due to the inclusion of Goulds' sales
since the date of acquisition.  The sales increase related to the
Goulds acquisition was partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange
translation, a continued decline in municipal spending in Western
Europe, and the absence of sales from the General Controls product line
which was sold in the second quarter of 1996.  Operating income,
excluding the special charges of $68.8 million, for the first nine
months of 1997 of $104.0 million was $26.4 million higher than the
prior year.  The improvement in operating income was primarily
attributable to the inclusion of Goulds' operations since the date of
acquisition.  In addition, operating income was up as a result of cost
control actions in Europe and operating improvements at several North
American units in the first quarter of 1997.
                                   10

Special Charges

     During the third quarter of 1997, the Corporation took several
actions to strengthen the operating performance of the Company and
improve operating efficiencies.  As a result, ITT Industries has
recognized a $239.0 million pre-tax charge to operating income ($145.8
million after taxes or $1.20 per share).  A restructuring charge of
$114.4 million was recognized at the ITT Automotive and ITT Fluid
Technologies units.  These restructuring charges relate primarily to
the write-down of assets and to severance costs associated with the
closure and consolidation of facilities and related workforce
reductions.  An additional charge of $91.1 million was recognized by
the Corporation for estimated losses on the planned sales of certain
non-core businesses including the sale of the ITT Semiconductors
business which consummated in October 1997.  Other special charges of $31.5
million have been recognized for conforming the accounting policies of
the recently acquired Goulds Pumps, Inc. with ITT Industries' accounting
policies and to increase environmental reserves.  On a pre-tax basis 
these charges have approximately a $73 million cash impact, the majority
to be incurred in 1998. Upon full implementation in 1999, the charge
related to the ITT Automotive restructuring will result in annual pre-tax
savings of approximately $115 million and cash savings of approximately 
$104 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  Cash from operating activities was $339.4 million for the first nine
months of 1997 compared to an outflow of $2.8 million in the prior
year, primarily the result of lower working capital requirements and
the absence of payments related to discontinued operations.

 The increase in working capital (receivables, inventory, payables, and
accrued liabilities) required a cash outflow of $180.8 million, due
largely to a seasonal increase in receivables and the timing of a
payment from a major customer at Automotive.  Working capital required
a cash outflow of $395.1 million in the first nine months of 1996 due
to a seasonal increase in receivables and a reduction in accounts
payable at Automotive and Defense & Electronics.

 Many of the Company's businesses require substantial investment in
plant and tooling in order to produce their products.  Gross plant
additions totaled $298.2 million for the first nine months of 1997,
with approximately 71% of that total incurred at Automotive.  Spending
for the first nine months of 1996 was $265.6 million, of which
approximately 69% was at Automotive.

 Cash from investing activities for the first nine months of 1997
included proceeds from the sale of the North American aftermarket and
seats operations and the industrial lighting and plastic components
business.  Cash outflows included the purchase of Goulds and the
remaining 20% interest in Electrical Systems, Inc. (ESI) from General
Motors Corporation.  Cash inflows in the first nine months of 1996
included $123.9 million from the sale of land and other assets,
including a portion of ITT Community Development Corporation and the
ITT General Controls product line.

 External borrowings were $2,342.4 million at September 30, 1997,
compared with $1,418.8 million at December 31, 1996.  Cash and cash
equivalents were $208.4 million at September 30, 1997, compared to
$121.9 million at year-end 1996.  The higher debt level at September
30, 1997 reflects borrowings to fund the acquisitions partially offset
by proceeds from asset sales as discussed above.

   Shareholders' equity decreased $16.0 million during the first nine
months of 1997, primarily due to growth in retained earnings offset by
$145.8 million of special charges taken in the third quarter.  Dividend
payments of $.45 per share were made in the first nine months of 1997.
A quarterly dividend of $.15 per share will be paid on January 1, 1998.

    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.
