          flows  for each of the respective three month periods ended  April  1,
          1995  and  April  2, 1994.  The results of operations  for  the  three
          months  ended April 1, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of  results
          for the full year.

Note 7:   Contingencies

          There  are  pending or threatened against Textron and its subsidiaries
          lawsuits  and  other proceedings, some of which allege  violations  of
          federal  government  procurement  regulations,  involve  environmental
          matters, or are or purport to be class actions.  Among these suits and
          proceedings  are  some  which seek compensatory,  treble  or  punitive
          damages  in substantial amounts; fines, penalties or restitution;  the
          cleanup  of  allegedly hazardous wastes; or, under federal  government
          procurement  regulations, could result in suspension or  debarment  of
          Textron  or  its subsidiaries from U.S. Government contracting  for  a
          period  of  time.  These suits and proceedings are being  defended  or
          contested on behalf of Textron and its subsidiaries.  On the basis  of
          information  presently  available,  Textron  believes  that  any  such
          liability  or  the  impact of the application of  relevant  government
          regulations would not have a material effect on Textron's  net  income
          or financial condition.
          
Note 8:   Financial information by borrowing group

          Textron  consists of two borrowing groups - the Textron Parent Company
          Borrowing Group and its finance and insurance subsidiaries.
          
          The  Textron  Parent  Company Borrowing  Group  is  comprised  of  all
          entities of Textron other than its finance and insurance subsidiaries.
          The  financial  statements of this group as set  forth  below  reflect
          Textron's investments in its finance and insurance subsidiaries on the
          equity basis.  Its sources of cash flow include dividends paid by  the
          finance and insurance subsidiaries, as well as cash generated by other
          operating units.
          
          The  finance  and  insurance  subsidiaries  finance  their  respective
          operations by borrowing from their own group of external creditors.

Financial Condition

Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group:  During the three months ended April  1,
1995, the Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group's operating activities provided
cash  of $31 million versus $34 million during the corresponding period of 1994.
Such cash flows approximated last year's level as increased income was offset by
increased  tax  payments in 1995.  The Group's debt increased  by  $138  million
principally  as  a  result  of cash used for capital expenditures,  payments  of
dividends  and purchases of Textron common stock in excess of cash  provided  by
operations.   Its ratio of debt to total capital was 37% at April  1,  1995,  up
from 35% at December 31, 1994.

During  the  three months ended April 2, 1994, the Group's operating  activities
provided cash of $34 million versus $37 million during the corresponding  period
of  1993.   Such  cash  flows approximated the prior year's level  as  increased
income  and  customer deposits for 1994 were offset by higher  receivables,  due
primarily  to  strong  first quarter 1994 sales.  Its ratio  of  debt  to  total
capital was 42%, unchanged from year end 1993.

The  Textron  Parent  Company Borrowing Group's credit facilities  not  used  or
reserved  as  support  for outstanding commercial paper or  bank  borrowings  at
April 1, 1995 were $917 million.  Textron had $236 million available at April 1,
1995  for unsecured debt securities under its shelf registration statement filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In  1994, Textron reactivated its program to purchase up to five million  shares
of  its common stock from time to time in the open market as conditions warrant.
As of April 29, 1995, 4.1 million shares had been purchased at an aggregate cost
of $204 million.

In  February  1995, Textron announced that it may purchase up to  an  additional
five million of its common shares under the program.

Management  believes  that  the  Textron Parent  Company  Borrowing  Group  will
continue  to  have  adequate  access  to credit  markets  and  that  its  credit
facilities  and cash flows from operations --including dividends  received  from
Textron's  finance  and insurance operations-- will continue  to  be  more  than
sufficient to meet its operating needs and to finance growth.

Finance and insurance subsidiaries:  The finance and insurance subsidiaries paid
dividends of $31 million and $26 million to the Textron Parent Company Borrowing
Group  during  the three month periods ended April 1, 1995 and  April  2,  1994,
respectively.

During  the  three  months ended March 31, 1995, Avco Financial  Services  (AFS)
issued  $607 million of unsecured debt securities, including $539 million  under
its  shelf  registration  statements.  AFS had $347  million  and  $457  million
available  at  March  31,  1995 for unsecured debt securities  under  its  shelf
registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian
provincial security exchanges, respectively.

During  the  three  months ended March 31, 1995, Textron  Financial  Corporation
(TFC)  issued  $133 million of medium-term notes under a $500  medium-term  note
facility  under  Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.   TFC  had
$367 million available under this facility at March 31, 1995.

During  the first quarter of 1995, the finance subsidiaries had $318 million  of
interest rate exchange agreements go into effect.  Of these, $150 million expire
in  1996 and had the effect of exchanging the indices used to determine interest
expense under certain variable rate borrowings at March 31, 1995 for the purpose
of  better  matching the rate of interest incurred on the finance  subsidiaries'
financing  with  the  rate  of  interest  earned  on  certain  of  the   finance
subsidiaries' variable rate finance receivables.  The balance of the agreements,
which  have  a  weighted average original term of 2.0 years and  expire  through
1999,  had  the effect of fixing the rate of interest at approximately  9.5%  on
$168 million of variable rate borrowings at March 31, 1995.

Results of Operations - Three months ended April 1, 1995 vs. Three months  ended
April 2, 1994

Textron  reported first quarter 1995 earnings per share of $1.25 per  share,  up
14%  from 1994 earnings per share of $1.10, reflecting higher net income  and  a
decreased  number of average shares outstanding.  Net income  in  1995  of  $109
million was up from 1994 net income of $100 million.  Revenues were unchanged at
$2.4  billion,  reflecting the impact of divestitures in  1994.   Excluding  the
revenues  of these divested businesses, revenues in the first quarter  increased
9% over 1994.

The  Aircraft segment's revenues and income increased $34 million  (7%)  and  $5
million  (14%),  respectively, related principally  to  Bell  Helicopter.   Bell
Helicopter's revenues increased primarily as a result of higher sales under  the
V-22 engineering and manufacturing development contract and higher international
aircraft  and  commercial spare parts sales, partially offset by  lower  foreign
military  aircraft  sales.  Bell's income increased as a result  of  the  higher
revenues, partially offset by increased product development expenses related  to
new  helicopter models.  Cessna's income increased slightly despite lower sales.
Increased  product development costs, principally related to  two  new  Citation
aircraft  models, were offset by lower bid and proposal expenses for  the  JPATS
competition for a new U.S. military trainer.

The  Automotive segment's revenues and income increased $23 million (6%) and  $1
million  (3%),  respectively.   Margin was affected  by  higher  start-up  costs
related to the launch of new products and facilities.

The  Industrial segment's revenues and income increased $15 million (4%) and  $8
million   (23%),  respectively,  due  principally  to  higher  fasteners   sales
(including  the  sales  of Avdel, the results of which  have  been  included  in
Textron's  consolidated  results since the second quarter  of  1994),  partially
offset by the impact of the divestiture of the Homelite division in 1994.

The  Systems  and  Components segment's revenues decreased $206  million  (46%),
while  income increased $7 million (58%).  The decrease in revenues was  due  to
the  1994  divestiture of the Textron Lycoming Turbine Engine  division  and  to
reduced  shipments on certain U.S. Government and commercial aerospace contracts
at  other  divisions.  In addition, 1994 income included provisions  aggregating
$15  million for the consolidation of certain manufacturing operations and legal
matters.

The  Finance  segment's  revenues  increased $75  million  (19%),  while  income
increased $10 million (13%).  AFS' revenues increased, due primarily  to  (a)  a
higher  level  of  finance receivables outstanding, (b) an  increase  in  earned
premiums and (c) an increase in investment income, due to improving yields and a
higher level of invested assets, partially offset by (d) a decline in yields  on
finance receivables, reflecting an increased percentage of lower yielding retail
installment contracts.  Its income increased, due to (a) those factors and (b) a
decrease  in  insurance  losses in both finance-related  and  nonfinance-related
insurance operations, partially offset by (c) an increase in the blended cost of
borrowed  funds  and (d) an increase in loan loss provisions due  to  growth  in
finance receivables outstanding.  Revenues at TFC increased slightly, due  to  a
higher  level  of  finance  receivables outstanding, higher  yields  on  finance
receivables,  reflecting the higher interest rate environment, partially  offset
by higher leveraged lease income in 1994.  Its income increased due to (a) those
factors and (b) a decrease in loan loss provisions, reflecting an improvement in
equipment  portfolios and a stabilization of nonperforming  real  estate  loans,
partially offset by (c) an increase in the blended cost of borrowed funds.

Paul  Revere's  revenues increased $38 million (12%), due to  continued  premium
growth  in  its  individual disability insurance and group  insurance  lines  of
business  and  higher net investment income.  Its income decreased  $14  million
(33%), primarily as a result of a higher individual disability insurance benefit
ratio,  partially offset by lower benefit ratios in the group insurance line  of
business, increased premium volume and improved expense ratios across all  lines
of  business.   The higher benefit ratio in the individual disability  insurance
business  was the result of adverse claims experience from the block of policies
issued  between  1985  and  1989,  especially in  Florida  and  California.   In
addition,  business issued to physicians has performed below expectations.   The
ratio  was 89.4%, up from 75.6% in the first quarter of 1994 and down from 92.3%
in  the  fourth quarter of 1994.  Paul Revere continued its program  to  improve
operating results through new products, pricing and underwriting adjustments, as
well  as  a  continued emphasis on claims management.  Paul Revere continues  to
expect  a  gradual  improvement in the individual disability  insurance  benefit
ratio throughout 1995.

Corporate expenses and other - net for the three months ended April 1, 1995 were
higher  than  the  corresponding level in 1994 as  a  result  of  (a)  increased
compensation  expense  resulting  from  appreciation  in  the  market  value  of
Textron's  common  stock and (b) foreign exchange losses  in  1995  compared  to
foreign  exchange gains in 1994.  Lower interest expense of the  Textron  Parent
Company  Borrowing Group reflected a lower level of average borrowing, partially
offset  by  an  increased  average  cost of borrowing.   The  quarter's  results
reflected  a  slightly higher effective income tax rate than  the  corresponding
prior year rate.
