                   PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS OF TEXTRON*

           Textron is a multi-industry company with operations  in
two  business sectors - Manufacturing and Financial Services.  The
Manufacturing  sector  consists  of  four  business   segments   -
Aircraft, Automotive, Industrial, and Systems and Components.  The
business segments of the Financial Services sector are Finance and
Paul Revere.

     Financial information by business segment and geographic area
is  incorporated herein by reference to pages 28,  53  and  54  of
Textron's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders.

Manufacturing
    Information regarding the segments of the Manufacturing sector
is  contained  on  pages 29 through 31, 41 and 61  through  63  of
Textron's  1994  Annual Report to Shareholders,  which  pages  are
incorporated herein by reference.

     The  Aircraft segment consists of Bell Helicopter and Cessna.
Bell  Helicopter  is a leading manufacturer of  light  and  medium
helicopters  for  civil and military uses.  Bell  is  teamed  with
Boeing   Helicopters  in the development of the  V-22  tilt  rotor
aircraft  for  the U.S. Department of Defense.  In the  light  and
medium  helicopter  market, Bell Helicopter  has  two  major  U.S.
competitors  and  one major European competitor.  Certain  of  its
competitors are substantially larger and more diversified aircraft
manufacturers.   Bell  Helicopter markets its  products  worldwide
through  its  own  sales  force  as well  as  through  independent
representatives.   Price, financing terms,  aircraft  performance,
reliability  and product support are significant  factors  in  the
sale  of  helicopters.  Revenues of Bell Helicopter accounted  for
approximately  14%,  13% and 11% of Textron's  total  revenues  in
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
____________________

*  Reference  herein  to  "Textron"  includes  Textron  Inc.,  its
divisions and subsidiaries.   A Textron "Division" is an operating
unit  which  may  be  comprised of an unincorporated  division  of
Textron, a subsidiary of Textron, or an unincorporated division of
a subsidiary.

<page 2>

     Cessna  is  the world's largest designer and manufacturer  of
light  and  mid-sized  business  jets  and  single-engine  utility
turboprop aircraft.  Cessna is also developing the Citation  X,  a
larger  business  jet  with first deliveries scheduled  for  1996.
Cessna  recently announced its intention to re-commence production
of  the  Cessna  172, 182 and 206 piston-engine  general  aviation
aircraft upon completion of new manufacturing facilities.   Cessna
markets  its  products worldwide primarily through its  own  sales
force as well as through independent representatives.  Cessna  has
five  major competitors, two of which are located in the U.S.  and
three  overseas.   Cessna's fanjets and  turboprops  compete  with
other   aircraft  that  are  comparable  in  size,  speed,  range,
capacity,  handling  characteristics and price.   Reliability  and
product support are also significant factors in the sale of  these
aircraft.

     The  Divisions  of  the  Automotive segment  supply  products
primarily  to  automotive  original equipment  manufacturers.   In
April  1994, Textron established Textron Automotive Company as  an
umbrella organization for the Divisions of the Automotive segment.
In  July 1994, the Davidson Exterior Trim Division was merged with
Textron  Acustar Plastics to become Textron Automotive  Exteriors,
and the Davidson Interiors Division was renamed Textron Automotive
Interiors.   The headquarters of these Divisions and  the  Randall
and  McCord  Winn  Divisions  have been  relocated,  with  Textron
Automotive  Company, to the Detroit, Michigan area.   Products  of
the  Automotive  segment are marketed through the sales  force  of
each  Division.   In general, these Divisions operate  in  markets
that  are  very  competitive.  These Divisions  compete  in  their
markets on the basis of price, product quality and delivery.

     The Divisions of the Industrial segment sell products to  the
industrial  and  consumer markets.  Products are marketed  through
the   sales   force  of  each  Division,  and,  where  applicable,
independent distributors, sales representatives and retailers.  In
general,  these  Divisions  operate  in  markets  that  are   very
competitive.  In varying degrees, these Divisions compete in their
markets  on  the basis of price, product quality and  performance,
brand  image,  service  and delivery.  In August  1994,  Textron's
Homelite Division was sold to Deere & Company.

      The   Divisions  of  the  Systems  and  Components   segment
manufacture  products primarily for the commercial  aerospace  and
defense  industries.  All Divisions of the Systems and  Components
segment  are  subject to keen competition.  Each Division  markets
its  products  through its own sales force and, where  applicable,
independent  representatives.  The principal  competitive  factors
are price, reliability, product performance and, where applicable,
product  support.   In October 1994, the Textron Lycoming  Turbine
Engine  Division was sold to AlliedSignal Inc.  Effective  January
11,  1995,  the  Aircraft Engine Components Textron  Division  was
merged into the Airfoil Textron Division; the name of the combined
division has been changed to Turbine Engine Components Textron.

<page 3>


Financial Services

     Information regarding the segments of the Financial  Services
sector is contained on pages 26, 27, 31, 32, 41, 57, 58 and 63  of
Textron's  1994  Annual Report to Shareholders,  which  pages  are
incorporated herein by reference.

    Products of the Financial Services sector are marketed through
company-owned  sales  offices and, where  applicable,  independent
brokers.   The  insurance  and  consumer  and  commercial  finance
businesses  are  highly competitive and subject to  regulation  by
various government authorities.

     The  Finance segment consists of Avco Financial Services  and
Textron  Financial Corporation.  Avco Financial Services  competes
with  other consumer finance companies as well as companies  which
finance  the  sale of their own merchandise or the merchandise  of
others,  industrial  banks, and the personal loan  departments  of
commercial  banks and credit unions.  Revenues of  Avco  Financial
Services accounted for approximately 14%, 15% and 16% of Textron's
total  revenues  in  1994, 1993 and 1992,  respectively.   Textron
Financial  Corporation  competes  with  other  commercial  finance
companies  as  well  as  institutional lenders,  primarily  banks.
Price  and  service are the principal competitive factors  in  the
Finance segment.

      Paul   Revere   is  the  leading  provider   of   individual
non-cancellable  disability  insurance  in  North  America.   Paul
Revere  competes  with  many  other insurance  companies  offering
similar  products.  Insurance companies compete on  the  basis  of
many factors including financial strength, pricing and other terms
and   conditions  of  products,  commission  structure,  perceived
stability  of  the insurer, claims paying ratings,  service,  name
recognition and reputation.

Backlog
     Information  regarding Textron's backlog  of  government  and
commercial orders by business segment at the end of the  past  two
fiscal  years  is  contained on page 28 of Textron's  1994  Annual
Report  to  Shareholders,  which page is  incorporated  herein  by
reference.

     Approximately 49% of Textron's total backlog at December  31,
1994  represents orders which are not expected to be filled within
the  1995 fiscal year.  Approximately 64% of the total backlog  is
funded.

<page 4>

Government Contracts
     In  1994,  37%  and 53% of the revenues of the  Aircraft  and
Systems and Components segments, respectively, constituting 17% of
Textron's  consolidated revenues, were generated  by  or  resulted
from contracts with the United States Government.  U.S. Government
business   is  subject  to  competition,  changes  in  procurement
policies   and   regulations,  the  continuing   availability   of
Congressional  appropriations, world  events,  and  the  size  and
timing of programs in which Textron may participate.
     A  substantial portion of Textron's government contracts  are
fixed-price  or fixed-price incentive contracts.  Contracts  which
contain  incentive  pricing terms provide for upward  or  downward
adjustments  in the prices paid by the U.S. Government  thereunder
upon  completion  of the contract or any agreed  portion  thereof,
based  on  cost  or  other performance factors.   U.S.  Government
contracts generally may be terminated in whole or in part  at  the
convenience  of  the U.S. Government or if the  contractor  is  in
default.   Upon  termination of a contract for the convenience  of
the  U.S.  Government,  the contractor  is  normally  entitled  to
reimbursement for allowable costs incurred  (up to a maximum equal
to  the  contract price) and an allowance for profit or adjustment
for  loss  if  the contractor would have incurred a loss  had  the
entire contract been completed.  If, however, a contract is  termi
nated for default:  (i) the contractor is paid such amount as  may
be agreed upon for manufacturing materials and partially completed
products accepted by the U.S. Government; (ii) the U.S. Government
is   not  liable  for  the  contractor's  costs  with  respect  to
unaccepted items and is entitled to repayment of advance  payments
and  progress payments, if any, related to the terminated portions
of the contract; and (iii) the contractor may be liable for excess
costs  incurred  by  the U.S. Government in procuring  undelivered
items  from  another  source.   Additional  information  regarding
defense  expenditures  is contained on  pages  29  through  31  of
Textron's  1994  Annual Report to Shareholders,  which  pages  are
incorporated herein by reference.

Research and Development
     Information  regarding  Textron's  research  and  development
expenditures  is  contained on pages 40 and 48 of  Textron's  1994
Annual Report to Shareholders, which pages are incorporated herein
by reference.

Patents and Trademarks
     Textron  owns, or is licensed under, a number of patents  and
trademarks   throughout   the  world  relating   to   methods   of
manufacturing and products.  Patents and trademarks have  been  of
value  in the past and are expected to be of value in the  future;
however,  the loss of any single patent or group of patents  would
not,  in the opinion of Textron, materially affect the conduct  of
its business.

<page 5>

Environmental Considerations
    Textron's operations, like those of other companies engaged in
similar  businesses, are subject to numerous laws and  regulations
designed  to protect the environment.   Compliance with such  laws
has  not  had, and is not expected to have, a material  effect  on
capital  expenditures,  earnings or the  competitive  position  of
Textron.   Expenditures for environmental control facilities  have
not  had,  and  are  not expected to have, a  material  effect  on
capital  expenditures,  earnings or the  competitive  position  of
Textron.   Additional information regarding environmental  matters
is  contained  on  pages  25, 40 and 53 of Textron's  1994  Annual
Report  to  Shareholders, which pages are incorporated  herein  by
reference.

Employees
     At  December  31,  1994,  Textron  had  approximately  53,000
employees.

ITEM 2.     PROPERTIES
     At  December 31, 1994, Textron operated a total of 138 plants
located  throughout  the United States and 9  plants  outside  the
United States.  Of the total of 147 plants, Textron owned 102  and
the balance was leased.  In the aggregate, the total manufacturing
space was approximately 25 million square feet.
      In  addition, Textron owns or leases offices, warehouse  and
other space at various locations throughout the United States  and
outside  the  United  States.  Textron also owns  or  leases  such
machinery  and equipment as is necessary in the operation  of  its
Divisions.   Textron  considers the  productive  capacity  of  the
plants  operated by each of its business segments to be  adequate.
In  general,  the plants and machinery are in good condition,  are
considered  to  be adequate for the uses to which they  are  being
put, and are substantially in regular use.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     On  January  19,  1995,  Textron and the  Ohio  Environmental
Protection  Agency  ("Ohio EPA") entered  into  a   consent  order
concerning  previously reported compliance issues related  to  air
emissions  from  Textron's Randall Division plant  in  Wilmington,
Ohio, which included payment of a civil penalty of $267,500.
     In  addition, 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.

<page 6>

     On  the  basis  of  information presently available,  Textron
believes   that  any  liability  for  the  suits  and  proceedings
mentioned  above,  or  the impact of the application  of  relevant
government  regulations,  would not  have  a  material  effect  on
Textron's net income or financial condition.

ITEM 4.     SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
     No  matters  were  submitted to a vote of Textron's  security
holders  during  the last quarter of the period  covered  by  this
Report.

           SCHEDULE I - CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT
                                        
        For each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994
                                        
                                        
      Financial  information  of  the Registrant is  omitted  because  condensed
financial  information  of  the Textron Parent Company  Borrowing  Group,  which
includes  the Registrant and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries  other  than
its  finance  and insurance subsidiaries, is shown on pages 55-56  of  Textron's
1994 Annual Report to Shareholders.  Management believes that the disclosure  of
financial information on the basis of the Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group
results  in  a  more meaningful presentation, since this group  constitutes  the
Registrant's basic borrowing entity and the only restrictions on net  assets  of
Textron's  subsidiaries relate to its finance and insurance  subsidiaries.   The
Registrant's  investment in its finance and insurance subsidiaries is  reflected
on  page  55  of Textron's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders under the  caption
"Investments in finance and insurance subsidiaries."

      The  Textron  Parent Company Borrowing Group received  dividends  of  $115
million, $94 million and $78 million from its finance and insurance subsidiaries
in  1994,  1993  and  1992, respectively.  The portion  of  the  net  assets  of
Textron's  finance and insurance subsidiaries available for cash  dividends  and

             EXECUTIVE SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN


ARTICLE 1 - GENERAL

1.01  The purpose of this Plan is to provide a retirement benefit
that   will  enable  Textron  to  attract  and  retain   selected
executives whose employment with a Textron Company will begin  or
has begun at or after age forty-five (45).

ARTICLE II - EFFECTIVE DATE

2.01  This  Plan shall be effective from and after  December  15,
1994.

ARTICLE III - PARTICIPATION

3.01  An  executive shall participate in this  Plan  if  (i)  his
employment with a Textron Company commenced at or after age forty-
five  (45)  and  (ii) he has been approved for  participation  by
Textron's Chief Executive Officer.

ARTICLE IV - BENEFIT

4.01   Subject   to  Section  4.02,  the  benefit   provided   to
Participants  who  qualify for benefits under  this  Plan  is  an
annuity  commencing  upon retirement on or  after  the  date  the
Participant reaches age sixty-five (65) equal to 50%  of  Average
Pay.  The benefit shall be paid as a single life annuity or other
optional  form  of  benefit as provided by the qualified  Textron
Pension Plan.

4.02  The benefit provided by this Plan shall be reduced  by  any
amounts  payable  to  the Participant under  Textron's  qualified
Pension  Plans, Textron's non-qualified Pension Plans and pension
arrangements provided to the Participant by a Textron Company  or
any   prior  employer.   The  qualified  and  non-qualified  Avco
Financial  Services,  Inc. Profit Sharing  Retirement  Plans  are
considered as pension plans for this section of this Plan.

4.03 To be eligible for benefits under this Plan, the Participant
must  maintain continued employment with a Textron Company  until
age sixty-five (65).

4.04  One hundred percent (100%) of the benefit payable hereunder
shall  be  provided  to  a  Participant if  the  Participant  has
achieved at least fifteen (15) years of employment with a Textron
Company  prior  to  age sixty-five (65).   A  full  or  pro  rata
benefit,  at the discretion of Textron's Chief Executive Officer,
may  be provided to a Participant who has less than fifteen  (15)
years  of  Textron  service  at  age  sixty-five  (65)  or  whose
employment with a Textron Company ends prior to age 65.

ARTICLE V - UNFUNDED PLAN

5.01  Benefits  to  be  provided under  this  Plan  are  unfunded
obligations  of  Textron.  Nothing contained in this  Plan  shall
require  Textron to segregate any monies from its general  funds,
to create any trust, to make any special deposits, or to purchase
any  policies of insurance with respect to such obligations.   If
Textron  elects to purchase individual policies of  insurance  on
one  or  more of the Participants to help finance its obligations
under  this  Plan,  such  individual policies  and  the  proceeds
therefrom shall at all times remain the sole property of  Textron
and  neither the Participants whose lives are insured  nor  their
beneficiaries shall have any ownership rights in such policies of
insurance.

5.02  This  Plan  is intended in part to provide benefits  for  a
select  group of management employees who are highly compensated,
pursuant to Section 110 of ERISA and Labor Department Regulations
Section  2520.104-23, and in part to be an excess  benefit  plan,
pursuant to section 3(36) of ERISA.

5.03  No  participant  shall be required  or  permitted  to  make
contributions to this Plan.

ARTICLE VI - PLAN ADMINISTRATION

6.01 Textron Shall be the administrator of this Plan and shall be
solely   responsible   for   its   general   administration   and
interpretation  and for carrying out the provisions  hereof,  and
shall have all such powers as may be necessary to do so.  Textron
may  from time to time establish rules for the administration  of
this Plan and the transaction of its business.

6.02 The payment of any benefit under Article IV shall be made at
the same time, in the same manner, to the same persons and in the
same proportions as is made the payment or distribution under the
related  Qualified  Plan,  or  otherwise  as  determined  by  the
Textron's   Chief  Executive  Officer  in  his  sole  discretion.
Textron  may withhold from benefits and accounts under this  Plan
any  taxes or other amounts required by law to be withheld.   For
purposes of this Section 6.02, "Qualified Plan" means the Textron
Pension Plan.

6.03  Textron  may  employ  or engage such  agents,  accountants,
actuaries, counsel, other experts and other persons as  it  shall
deem necessary or desirable in connection with the interpretation
and  administration of this Plan.  Textron shall be  entitled  to
rely  upon  all certifications made by an accountant selected  by
Textron.   Textron  and its committees, officers,  directors  and
employees  shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered  or
omitted  by  them in good faith in reliance upon  the  advice  or
opinion of any such agent, accountant, actuary, counsel or  other
expert  and  all  action so taken, suffered or omitted  shall  be
conclusive  upon each of them and upon all other person  interest
in this Plan.

6.04  Claims under this Plan shall be filed with Textron  on  its
prescribed  forms.  If a claim is denied wholly  or  in  part  it
shall  be  denied within a reasonable time after  its  filing  in
writing  delivered  to  the claimant with  the  reasons  for  the
denial,  citations  to  pertinent  provisions  of  the  Plan,   a
description  of  any  additional material or  information  to  be
furnished  by  the  claimant  and the  reasons  therefor  and  an
explanation  of  the  Plan's  claim  review  procedure.   If  the
claimant  wishes further consideration of this claim, he  or  his
authorized representative shall submit to Textron within 90  days
after  his claim has been denied a written request for a hearing.
Such  claimant or his authorized representative may  then  review
pertinent  documents and submit issues and comments  in  writing.
Textron shall schedule an opportunity for a full and fair hearing
of  the issue within the next 60 days.  Within 60 days after  the
hearing Textron shall communicate its decision to the claimant in
writing,  stating the reasons for its decision and  referring  to
pertinent Plan provisions.

subject  in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge or encumbrance of any kind unless specifically approved in
writing  in  advance by Textron's Chief Executive  Officer.   Any
attempt  to alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise
encumber  any benefit, whether presently or subsequently payable,
shall be void unless so approved.  Except as required by law,  no
benefit payable under this Plan shall in any manner be subject to
garnishment, attachment, execution or other legal process, or  be
liable  for  or  subject  to  the  debts  or  liability  of   any

                                 By: /s/ William F. Wayland
                                     Executive Vice President
                                     Administration and Chief Human 
                                     Resources Officer


                          AMENDMENT TO
                      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


      THIS  AMENDMENT, dated as of December 15, 1994, amends  the
Employment Agreement (the `Agreement") dated November  24,  1989,
between  Textron Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation")
and James F. Hardymon (the "Executive").
      The Corporation and the Executive hereby agree to add a new
Section 4(h) as follows:
     (h)  Retirement Units
            (a)  The  Corporation hereby grants to the  Executive
     500,000  Retirement Units (the "Retirement  Units")  with  a
     stated  value  of  $49.1875 per unit (the  "Stated  Value").
     Upon  the Executive's retirement from the Corporation on  or
     after November 30, 1999, the Corporation shall award to  the
     Executive  for each Retirement Unit a cash amount  equal  to
     the amount by which (i) the average of the composite closing
     prices   (as  reported  on  the  New  York  Stock   Exchange
     Consolidated Tape) of the Corporation's common stock for the
     first ten trading days after the Executive's retirement date
     exceeds (ii) the Stated Value.  Such award shall be paid  to
     the Executive in a lump sum or in annual installments as may
     be determined by the Organization and Compensation Committee
     of   the  Corporation's  Board  of  Directors.   Except   as
     otherwise  provided  herein,  the  Executive  shall  not  be
     entitled  to receive such award if his employment  with  the
     Corporation ends for any reason prior to November 30,  1999,
     provided  that if the Executive's employment ends  prior  to
     such  date because of his death or disability, the Executive
     or  the Executive's estate may receive a pro-rata portion of
     such  award in the discretion of the Corporation's Board  of
     Directors.
     
           Notwithstanding  the  above, in  the  event  that  the
     Executive retires or his employment otherwise terminates  at
     any  time  after  a "change in control" (as defined  in  the
     Textron  1994  Long-Term  Incentive Plan),  the  Corporation
     shall,  in  lieu of the above award, award to the  Executive
     (or  to  the  Executive's estate in the event of  his  death
     prior  to payment) upon such retirement or other termination
     of  employment, a cash amount equal to the amount  by  which
     (i)   the   highest  closing  price  per   share   of    the
     Corporation's  Common Stock (as reported  on  the  New  York
     Stock  Exchange Consolidated Tape during the  30-day  period
     ending  on  the date of such change in control exceeds  (ii)
     the Stated Value.
     
          The number of Retirement Units granted to the Executive
     hereunder and the Stated Value of each Retirement Unit shall
     be  proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in
     the  number  of  issued  shares of the Corporation's  Common
     Stock  resulting from a stock split, stock dividend  or  any
     other  increase or decrease in such shares effective without
     receipt of consideration by the Corporation.
     
      IN  WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment
to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.


                                   /s/ James F. Hardymon

                or no rating               .4250%

_______________
*    In  the case of "split" ratings ( i.e., if the ratings  of
     each  such rating agency differ by one or more categories,
     including   numerical  modifiers  and  (+)  and   (-)   as
     categories), the Applicable Margin will be based upon  the

          Corporation and Moody's Investors Service,  Inc.  for
          the Company's long-term unsecured indebtedness at the
          beginning of each fiscal quarter of the Company:

          Rating Category*              Facility Fee
          A/A2 or higher                   .1250%
          A-/A3                            .1500%
          BBB+/Baal                        .1875%
          BBB/Baa2                         .2250%
          BBB-/Baa3 or lower
                or no rating               .2500%

     categories),  the  facility fee will  be  based  upon  the
     higher of the two ratings."

     3.   The Final Maturity Date is hereby extended to October

      5.    This First Amendment shall not constitute a consent
or  waiver to or modification of any other provision,  term  or
condition  of  the  Credit Agreement.  All  terms,  provisions,
covenants,  representations, warranties, agreements  and  condi
tions  contained  in the Credit Agreement, as  amended  hereby,

ment,  this  First Amendment may be executed in any  number  of
counterparts  and by different parties hereto in separate  coun
terparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be

FINANCIAL REVIEW


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Financing for Textron is conducted through two separate borrowing
groups: the Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group (consisting of all
entities of Textron other than its finance and insurance subsidiaries)
and Textron's finance and insurance subsidiaries. This framework allows
the finance and insurance subsidiaries, with specialized needs related
to their portfolios of receivables and investments, to finance their
respective operations, each through its own external group of creditors
without guarantee from the Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group.
Accordingly, the liquidity and capital resources of Textron's operations
are best understood by separately considering its independent borrowing
groups.

TEXTRON PARENT COMPANY BORROWING GROUP
Sources of cash to the Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group include
cash generated by the operations comprising this group and dividends
received from the finance and insurance subsidiaries, supplemented with
borrowings. Information about the cash flows of this group for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994 is set forth in
the Group's statement of cash flows included in Note 18 (page 56) to the
consolidated financial statements.
    The Group's operating activities provided cash flows of $538 million in
1994, down from $584 million in 1993. The decrease was due to (a) higher
receivables in 1994, due in large part to changed payment terms with a
major customer and higher sales volume, and (b) lower reductions in
inventories in 1994 compared to those in 1993, partially offset by (c)
increased income and (d) increased customer deposits in 1994. The
Group's debt decreased by $443 million in 1994, as operating cash flows
and cash proceeds from the sales of Textron's Homelite and Lycoming
Turbine Engine divisions exceeded capital asset additions, payments of
dividends and purchases of 3.3 million shares of Textron's common stock.
Such purchases were made under a program to purchase up to five million
shares of Textron's common stock from time to time in the open market,
as conditions warrant. Textron's ratio of debt to total capital
decreased to 35% at December 31, 1994, from 42% at January 1, 1994.
    Cash flows from operating activities in 1993 of $584 million were higher
than the 1992 level due principally to a higher reduction in
inventories, a higher level of trade payables and higher income from
operations. The Group's debt decreased by $258 million in 1993 as
operating cash flows and the proceeds from the sale of a minority
interest in the Paul Revere Corporation (PRC) exceeded capital asset
additions, payments of dividends, the cost of the acquisition of Textron
Acustar Plastics and a $100 million contribution to the capital of PRC.
    Cash flows from operating activities in 1992 of $402 million were higher
than the 1991 level due principally to a decrease in inventories in 1992
versus an increase in 1991. The Group's debt increased by $463 million
in 1992 due to financing the $605 million acquisition of Cessna.
    Capital asset additions during 1994, 1993 and 1992 of $272 million, $226
million and $198 million, respectively, were primarily for (a) the
replacement of machinery and equipment, (b) machinery and equipment
required for increased capacity at existing facilities and (c)
production tooling for new aircraft at Cessna. Capital asset additions
during 1995 are not expected to differ substantially from the level of
such additions in 1994.
    Textron is involved in a number of remedial actions under various
federal and state laws and regulations relating to the environment which
impose liability on companies to clean up, or contribute to the cost of
cleaning up, sites on which their hazardous wastes or materials were
disposed or released. Expenditures to evaluate and remediate
contaminated sites approximated $14 million, $18 million and $25 million
in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Textron currently projects that
expenditures for remediation will range between $15 million and $25
million for each of the years 1995 and 1996. (See Textron's Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies and Note 16 to the consolidated
financial statements for further information about environmental
matters.)
    Based upon the information currently available, Textron believes it has
made adequate provision for costs associated with known remediation
efforts. Despite the uncertainty concerning the overall costs of
additional remedial actions that might be identified in the future, it
is not currently anticipated that such costs will have a material
adverse effect on Textron's liquidity, net income or financial
condition.
    In August 1994, Textron sold its Homelite division and in October 1994
it sold its Lycoming Turbine Engine division. Cash proceeds from these
sales aggregated $495 million and were used for general corporate
purposes including debt reduction and the purchase of Textron common
stock.
    In 1993, Textron purchased the plastics operations of the Acustar
division of Chrysler Corporation at a cost of $139 million and in 1992
it purchased Cessna at a cost of $605 million.
    Also in 1993, Textron, which had been the sole shareholder of PRC, sold
7.5 million shares of PRC, representing 16.7% of the outstanding shares
of PRC, for $175 million (net of related expenses) in an

                                                             T E X T R O N  25

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
Textron contributed $100 million to the capital of PRC just prior to the
sale. The proceeds from the sale were used to reduce debt.
    During 1994, Textron redeemed an aggregate principal amount of $121
million of its 9 1/4% Senior and Subordinated Notes, due 2016 and 2017,
resulting in a pretax charge to income of $9 million. During 1993,
Textron redeemed an aggregate principal amount of $221 million of its
10 3/4%, 9 1/2% and 9 1/4% Senior and Subordinated Notes, due through 2017,
resulting in a pretax charge to income of $14 million.
    In 1993, Textron's Board of Directors approved Textron's purchase of all
of the shares of Textron common stock owned by PRC in four annual
installments of 424,125 shares each, at a share price to be equal to the
average closing price of Textron's stock over the fiscal quarter
preceding each such purchase. The first of the four purchases (for $25
million) was made in April 1994.
    Textron had $236 million available at December 31, 1994 for the issuance
of unsecured debt securities under its shelf registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Also at December 31, 1994,
Textron had credit facilities aggregating $1.5 billion. The portion of
the credit facilities not used or reserved as support for commercial
paper or bank borrowings at that date was $1.1 billion.
    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
This group includes Avco Financial Services (AFS), Textron Financial
Corporation (TFC) and PRC. Information about the cash flows of this
group for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994
is set forth in the Group's statement of cash flows included in Note 18
(page 58) to the consolidated financial statements.
    The amount of the net assets of Textron's finance and insurance
subsidiaries available for cash dividends and other payments to the
Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group is restricted by the terms of
lending agreements and insurance statutory requirements. The finance and
insurance subsidiaries paid dividends to the Textron Parent Company
Borrowing Group of $115 million, $94 million and $78 million in 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively.
    AFS and TFC each utilize a broad base of financial sources for their
respective liquidity and capital requirements. Cash is provided from
both operations and several different sources of borrowings, including
unsecured borrowings under bank lines of credit, the issuance of
commercial paper and short-term bank debt, and sales of medium- and
long-term debt in the U.S. and foreign financial markets. During 1994,
the net proceeds from medium- and long-term financing sources, including
the issuances described below, totaled $1.5 billion. Debt increased by
$935 million in 1994, due principally to receivable growth.
    During 1994, AFS issued $1.0 billion of unsecured debt securities,
including $950 million under its shelf registration statements. At
December 31, 1994, AFS had $797 million available for unsecured debt
securities under its shelf registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and $544 million available for similar
securities under its shelf registration statements with the Canadian
provincial security exchanges.
    In June 1994, TFC established a medium-term note facility for $500
million under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under
which it had no outstanding borrowings at December 31, 1994.
    By utilizing medium- and long-term fixed rate financing, as well as
interest rate exchange agreements, Textron's finance subsidiaries
effectively had a ratio of variable rate debt to total debt of 49% at
December 31, 1994. For liquidity purposes, AFS and TFC have a policy of
maintaining sufficient unused bank lines of credit to support their
outstanding commercial paper and short-term bank borrowings.
    Textron's finance and insurance subsidiaries have substantial amounts of
investments and finance receivables backed up or secured by real estate.
AFS had residential real estate loans outstanding of $2.4 billion at
December 31, 1994, which were secured primarily by first and second
mortgages on single family homes, and averaged $27 thousand in
outstanding principal balance. Residential real estate loans are
geographically dispersed among many customers and the loan amounts are
limited to a maximum of 85% of the property's appraised market value at
the date of the loans, although most loans are made at significantly
lower loan to value ratios.
    TFC had real estate loans and leveraged leases of real estate
aggregating $440 million and $181 million, respectively, at December 31,
1994 including $174 million of golf course mortgages. The commercial
real estate portfolio of $266 million consisting

26  T E X T R O N


<PAGE> 27
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

principally of first mortgages on income producing properties is
diversified both geographically and by type of property financed. This
portion of the real estate loan portfolio was down from $369 million at the
end of 1993 due primarily to collections on outstanding balances and TFC's
sale of a portion of the performing loans in its commercial real estate
loan portfolio. The sale included the servicing of the remaining accounts
in the portfolio. The portfolio was underwritten at loan origination so
that historic cash flows exceed debt service and so that loans were
generally for less than 80% of the property's appraised market value at
the date of the loans. This policy is not necessarily indicative of the
current portfolio ratios. Loans were written with scheduled maturities
generally between three and five years. However, a substantial number of
loans have been refinanced at contractual maturity. At December 31,
1994, TFC had suspended the accrual of interest on $76 million of real
estate loans ($77 million at December 31, 1993).
    In addition, at December 31, 1994, Textron's insurance subsidiaries held
$191 million of first mortgages on real estate. The real estate
portfolio is well diversified geographically and by type of property
financed. Loans are generally limited to 75% of the property's appraised
market value at the date of the loans with sufficient cash flows to meet
debt service requirements.
    Foreclosed real estate loans of Textron's finance and insurance
subsidiaries are transferred out of finance receivables or investments
in mortgages into other assets or other investments at the lower of fair
value (less estimated costs to sell) or the outstanding loan balance.
The carrying value of real estate is periodically reevaluated and, where
appropriate, adjustments are made through a valuation allowance to
reflect subsequent changes in fair value, but carrying value is never
increased above the amount originally transferred. At December 31, 1994,
real estate classified in other assets or other investments aggregated
$68 million ($74 million at December 31, 1993).
    Although Textron believes it has made adequate provision for its
nonperforming real estate assets, realization of these assets remains
subject to uncertainties. Subsequent evaluations of nonperforming
assets, in light of factors then prevailing, including economic
conditions, may require additional increases in the allowance for losses
for such assets.
    Textron's insurance subsidiaries' investments also included mortgage-
backed securities with an amortized cost of $810 million at December 31,
1994 ($1.1 billion at December 31, 1993), a substantial portion of which
is guaranteed by the U.S. Government or U.S. Government agencies. Future
investment income from mortgage-backed securities may be affected by the
timing of principal payments and the yields on reinvestment alternatives
available at the time of such payments.
    Textron also has significant investments in other debt securities. A
substantial portion of these investments is in high quality, investment
grade assets. In 1994 and 1993, accelerated prepayments on mortgage-
backed securities and call activity on all investments generated an
increase in funds available for investment at a time when interest rates
were lower than the current portfolio yield. Textron's investment
strategies place an emphasis on matching investment maturities with the
timing of amounts estimated to be payable under insurance contracts.

                     ------------------------

    Textron has recognized net deferred tax assets of $199 million at
December 31, 1994, attributable to temporary differences between the
financial reporting basis and income tax basis of certain assets and
liabilities. Management believes that such net deferred tax assets will
be realized based on Textron's history of earnings and its expectations
for the future. (See Note 14, "Income Taxes," to the consolidated
financial statements for further information.)
    For further information about investments and collateral for finance
receivables, see Note 2, "Investments," and Note 3, "Finance
Receivables," to the consolidated financial statements.
    As part of managing its interest rate exposure on its variable rate
borrowings, Textron is a party to various interest rate exchange
agreements. These agreements, or "swaps," have been entered into as
hedges which do not involve a high degree of complexity or risk. Textron
does not trade swaps or enter into leveraged swaps. The objective of
Textron's use of swaps is not to speculate for profit but to cost
effectively manage the risk in its debt portfolio by fixing the cost or
matching the rate of interest incurred on its financing with the rate of
interest earned on certain of its variable rate finance receivables. For
further information about these agreements and the debt and credit
facilities of the Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group and the finance
and insurance subsidiaries, see Note 8, "Debt and Credit Facilities," to
the consolidated financial statements.

Notes:
(i) Revenues by business segment exclude interest income of the Textron
Parent Company Borrowing Group of $2 million, $4 million and $4 million
in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Revenues between segments were
insignificant in each year.

(ii) Income of the Systems and Components segment for 1994 includes $30
million applicable to the Lycoming Turbine Engine division, sold in
1994, the benefit of which was immaterial to Textron's net income due to
the nontax deductibility of goodwill.

Notes:
(i) The increase in the Aircraft segment's U.S. Government backlog was
due primarily to completion of negotiations in 1994 on the Bell-Boeing
engineering and manufacturing development contract on the V-22 program.
The increase in the Aircraft segment's commercial backlog was due
primarily to the introduction of Cessna's Excel and Ultra Citation
aircraft.

(ii) The decrease in the Systems and Components segment's U.S.
Government and commercial backlog was due primarily to the sale of the
Lycoming Turbine Engine division.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1994 vs. 1993
Textron's net income in 1994 was $433 million ($4.80 per share), up 14%
from income of $379 million ($4.21 per share) in 1993. Revenues
increased 7% to $9.7 billion in 1994 from $9.1 billion in 1993.
Operating income of Textron's six business segments aggregated $1.036
billion in 1994, up 11% from $933 million in 1993. The drivers of the
increase in income were the Aircraft, Automotive, Industrial and Finance
segments, which reported a 22% aggregate growth in income, more than
offsetting the lower results in the Systems and Components and Paul
Revere segments. See the table under the caption "Revenues and Income by
Business Segment" and the discussion of the results of each segment
below.
    Corporate expenses and other - net in 1994 were lower by $7 million than
their corresponding level in 1993, principally as a result of a lower
pretax charge ($9 million in 1994 vs. $14 million in 1993) related to
the early redemptions of high coupon debt and the benefit of foreign
exchange gains in 1994 compared to foreign exchange losses in 1993. The
lower interest expense of the Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group --
$204 million in 1994 vs. $232 million in 1993 -- principally reflected a
lower level of average borrowing. Textron's effective income tax rate of
40.8% in 1994 was higher than the 1993 rate of 38.0%, due principally to
the impact in 1994 of the nontax deductibility of goodwill related to
the divestiture of the Textron Lycoming Turbine Engine division and a
one-time benefit in 1993 resulting from new tax legislation passed in
that year.

1993 vs. 1992
Textron's income in 1993 was $379 million ($4.21 per share), up 17% from
income of $324 million ($3.66 per share) before the one-time cumulative
effect of accounting changes in 1992. Revenues increased 9% to $9.1
billion in 1993 from $8.3 billion in 1992. Operating income aggregated
$933 million in 1993, up 10% from $846 million in 1992.
    Corporate expenses and other - net in 1993 were higher by $16 million
than their corresponding level in 1992, principally as a result of a $14
million pretax charge related to the early redemption of high coupon
debt and foreign exchange gains in 1992. The lower interest expense of
the Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group -- $232 million in 1993 vs.
$250 million in 1992 -- reflected both a lower level of average borrowing
and a decreased average cost of borrowing. Textron's effective income
tax rate of 38.0% in 1993 was lower than the 1992 rate of 38.5%, due to
new tax legislation, as the one-time benefit from increasing net
deferred tax assets more than offset the effect of the increase in the
federal statutory tax rate from 34% to 35%.

AIRCRAFT
1994 vs. 1993
The Aircraft segment's revenues and income increased $199 million (10%)
and $23 million (13%), 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 other military contracts and higher international aircraft
sales, partially offset by lower sales of spare parts, both military and
commercial. Bell's income increased as a result of the higher revenues
and improved manufacturing efficiencies, partially offset by increased
product development expenses related to three new helicopter models and
lower margins on commercial spares. Cessna's revenues and income
increased as a result of (a) improved margins, (b) lower product
development expenses related to the Citation X aircraft and (c) lower
bid and proposal expenses for the JPATS competition for a new U.S.
military trainer. These favorable factors more than offset higher
product support costs in 1994 and an $18 million gain in 1993 from an
insurance settlement.

1993 vs. 1992
The Aircraft segment's revenues and income increased in 1993 by $467
million (31%) and $43 million (34%), respectively, due to higher results
at both Bell Helicopter and Cessna. Bell Helicopter's income increased
as a result of higher revenues in both its U.S. Government and non-U.S.
Government businesses and the effect in 1992 of a $10 million loss
provision on the V-22 full scale development contract. Cessna's income
increased as a result of (a) higher sales, due to the inclusion of
Cessna's manufacturing operations for twelve months in 1993 compared
with ten months in 1992, and (b) an $18 million gain from an insurance
settlement, which were partially offset by (c) a higher level of
expenses in 1993, primarily related to higher product development
expenses for the Citation X aircraft and bid and proposal expenses for
the JPATS competition for a new U.S. military trainer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AUTOMOTIVE
1994 vs. 1993
The Automotive segment's revenues and income increased $336 million
(28%) and $43 million (45%), respectively, due primarily to (a) the
inclusion for the full year of a business acquired in May 1993, (b)
higher automotive production, (c) lower warranty provisions in 1994 and
(d) a provision in 1993 for the consolidation of certain manufacturing
operations.

1993 vs. 1992
The Automotive segment's revenues increased $386 million (46%) in 1993
primarily as a result of the inclusion of the operating results of an
acquisition for eight months in 1993, higher automotive production and a
broader market penetration of automotive interior products. Income
increased $22 million (30%), due to the higher revenues, partially
offset by a special warranty provision and a provision for the
consolidation of certain manufacturing operations.

INDUSTRIAL
1994 vs. 1993
The Industrial segment's revenues increased $171 million (14%), due
principally to higher fasteners sales (including the sales of Avdel, the
results of which have been included in Textron's consolidated results
beginning in the second quarter of 1994), partially offset by lower
sales, due to the divestiture of the Homelite division in August 1994.
Income increased $36 million (34%), due to (a) the higher sales and
improved productivity in the fasteners business, (b) a provision in 1993
for the consolidation of certain manufacturing operations and (c) a gain
in 1994 on the divestiture of the Homelite division, partially offset by
lower income at Jacobsen, due to lower sales, principally resulting from
the implementation of a change in distribution, and higher costs.

1993 vs. 1992
The Industrial segment's revenues increased $85 million (7%) and income
increased $9 million (9%). Revenues increased due to growth in the
outdoor products and fasteners businesses. Income increased as a result
of the higher volume, partially offset by a provision for the
consolidation of certain manufacturing operations.

SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS
1994 vs. 1993
The Systems and Components segment's reported revenues and income
included those of the Textron Lycoming Turbine Engine division, which
was sold in October 1994. Excluding Textron Lycoming Turbine Engine and
the effects of provisions ($25 million in 1994; $31 million in 1993) for
legal matters and the consolidation of certain manufacturing operations,
revenues and income in 1994 were $1.161 billion and $94 million,
respectively, compared to $1.224 billion and $105 million, respectively,
for 1993. The decreases in revenues of $63 million and income of $11
million were due primarily to further weakness in the defense and
commercial aerospace markets, principally at Textron Defense Systems and
Textron Aerostructures, respectively, partially offset by higher
revenues and income at Textron Lycoming Reciprocating Engine.
    Excluding from consideration the revenues and income applicable to the
Lycoming Turbine Engine division and the effects of the provisions in
1994 relative to legal matters and the consolidation of certain
manufacturing operations, revenues and operating income of the Systems
and Components segment are expected to further decline in 1995 from
their corresponding 1994 levels. This is principally the result of a
continued wind down of certain U.S. Government contracts, a decline in
U.S. Government spending for the defense products of this segment and
the current depressed business conditions in the commercial airline
industry.
    In response to this adverse business environment, Textron will continue
to focus its resources where it has technological or other competitive
advantages, so as to minimize the effect of these difficult business
conditions. However, the outlook for this segment's businesses contains
uncertainties relative to (a) the programs and funding levels in future
defense budgets as a result of continuing pressures to reduce federal
outlays and (b) the length and severity of the commercial airline
industry downturn.

<PAGE> 31
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1993 vs. 1992
The Systems and Components segment's reported results included revenues
and income of Textron Lycoming Turbine Engine, which was sold in 1994,
the effects of provisions (which aggregated $31 million) for legal
matters and the consolidation of certain manufacturing operations in
1993, and provisions ($14 million) for the consolidation of certain
manufacturing operations and a gain ($8 million) on the sale of the
Textron Filtration Systems division in 1992. Excluding these factors,
revenues and income in 1993 for the remaining divisions in this segment
were $1.224 billion and $105 million, respectively, compared to $1.430
billion and $147 million, respectively, for 1992. The decreases in
revenues of $206 million and income of $42 million were principally at
Textron Defense Systems, Airfoil Textron, Textron Lycoming Reciprocating
Engine and Textron Specialty Materials. At Textron Defense Systems,
revenues and income decreased due to the benefit in 1992 of an equitable
price adjustment on a long-term contract and the wind down in 1993 of
several U.S. Government contracts. The lower results at Airfoil Textron
and Textron Lycoming Reciprocating Engine were attributable to further
softness in the commercial aerospace and general aviation industries,
respectively, while the lower results at Textron Specialty Materials
were attributable to lower sales of its fire protection materials.

FINANCE
1994 vs. 1993
The Finance segment's revenues increased $62 million (4%), while income
increased $42 million (15%). AFS' revenues increased slightly, due
primarily to a higher level of finance receivables outstanding,
partially offset by a decline in yields on finance receivables. In
response to increasing cost of borrowed funds, AFS began increasing the
interest rates it charges its finance customers in the second half of
1994. Its income increased, due to (a) the higher level of finance
receivables outstanding, (b) a decrease in the blended cost of borrowed
funds, despite increasing interest rates, (c) a decrease in insurance
losses in both finance-related and nonfinance-related insurance
operations and (d) a decrease in policy acquisition costs due to a
reduction in nonfinance-related insurance premiums earned. These
favorable factors were partially offset by (a) the decline in yields and
(b) an increase in loan loss provisions, due to growth in finance
receivables outstanding offset in part by an improvement in credit
quality. The ratio of net credit losses to average net receivables
decreased to 1.99% in 1994 from 2.14% in 1993. In TFC's commercial
finance business, revenues increased, due to a higher level of finance
receivables outstanding and higher leveraged lease income, primarily
related to the sales of residual appreciation rights and the benefit of
a nonrecourse debt refinancing. Its income increased due to those
factors and a decrease in loan loss provisions, reflecting a
stabilization of nonperforming real estate loans and an improvement in
equipment portfolios, partially offset by an increase in the blended
cost of borrowed funds.

1993 vs. 1992
The Finance segment's revenues decreased $12 million while income
increased $39 million (16%). AFS' revenues decreased, due to a decline
in yields on finance receivables and a decline in foreign exchange
translation rates, partially offset by a higher level of finance
receivables outstanding. Its income increased, due principally to (a) a
decrease in the cost of borrowed funds, (b) a higher level of finance
receivables outstanding and (c) a decrease in insurance losses, as 1992
included losses related to Hurricane Andrew, partially offset by (d) the
decline in yields on

<PAGE> 32
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

finance receivables and (e) higher insurance commissions resulting from
improved loss experience on nonfinance-related insurance business. The
ratio of net credit losses to average net receivables decreased to 2.14% in
1993 from 2.20% in 1992. In TFC's commercial finance business, revenues
increased as a result of (a) an increased level of receivables, (b) the
inclusion of the operating results of Cessna's finance operations for
twelve months in 1993 compared with ten months in 1992 and (c) a lower
level of accounts on which the accrual of interest income has been
suspended, partially offset by a decline in yields and lower gains on the
sales of finance receivables portfolios. Its income increased due to those
factors, a decrease in the cost of borrowed funds and a decrease in loan
loss provisions, primarily related to reductions in equipment loan losses
and, to a lesser extent, losses on real estate loans.

PAUL REVERE
1994 vs. 1993
Paul Revere's revenues increased $138 million (12%), due to continued
growth in its individual disability insurance line, increased premium
volume in group insurance and higher net investment income. Its income
decreased $15 million (10%), primarily attributable to a significantly
higher individual disability insurance benefit ratio, partially offset
by higher net investment income and increased income in group insurance,
individual life insurance and financial products. The higher benefit
ratio in the individual disability insurance business was the result of
adverse claims experience from (a) the block of policies issued between
1985 and 1989, especially in Florida and California, (b) physicians
concentrated in five selected specialties and (c) excess risk disability
reinsurance, for which new business is no longer being written. Paul
Revere has undertaken an extensive program to address this situation
through new products, pricing and underwriting adjustments. In addition,
the claims department staff has been increased to address these problem
areas. Paul Revere expects a gradual improvement throughout 1995 in the
individual disability insurance benefit ratio from the corresponding
ratio experienced in the fourth quarter of 1994. Paul Revere's net
investment income increased as a result of (a) a higher level of
invested assets, offset in part by declining portfolio yields, and (b)
higher net realized investment gains ($23 million in 1994 vs. $15
million in 1993).

1993 vs. 1992
Paul Revere's revenues increased $87 million (8%) and income increased
$31 million (27%). Revenues increased primarily in the individual
disability insurance line, principally through marketing arrangements
with other companies. Its income increased as a result of higher income
in its individual disability insurance line (due to the higher revenues
and lower operating expense and benefit ratios, which reflect the
benefit of recapture gains on terminating reinsurance agreements),
partially offset by lower income in group insurance, due to an increase
in long-term disability benefit ratios. Paul Revere's investment income
increased as a result of (a) a higher level of invested assets, offset
in part by lower investment yields, and (b) higher net realized
investment gains ($15 million in 1993 vs. $2 million in 1992). Realized
investment gains in 1993 ($37 million) were partially offset by an
increased provision for other than temporary declines in values of
investments ($22 million).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Textron Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Textron
Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in
shareholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Textron Inc. at December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994 and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
    As discussed in Notes 13 and 14 to the consolidated financial
statements, in fiscal 1992 the Company changed its methods of accounting
for postretirement benefits other than pensions and income taxes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Textron
Inc. and all of its majority- and wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions are eliminated.
    Textron consists of two borrowing groups - the Textron Parent Company
Borrowing Group (comprised of all entities of Textron other than its
finance and insurance subsidiaries) and Textron's finance and insurance
subsidiaries. To enhance the reader's understanding of Textron's
operations, Textron has presented in Note 18 separate financial
information for each of its two borrowing groups.

FINANCE RECEIVABLES
For finance receivables, interest income is recognized in revenues using
the interest method so as to produce a constant rate of return over the
terms of the receivables. Accrual of interest income is suspended for
accounts which are contractually delinquent by more than three months
unless collection is not doubtful in the case of commercial finance
receivables or three payments in the case of consumer finance
receivables. In addition, detailed reviews of commercial loans may
result in earlier suspension if collection is doubtful. Accrual of
interest on commercial loans is resumed when the loan becomes
contractually current, and suspended interest income is recognized at
that time. Subsequent interest income on consumer loans is recognized
when collected. Fees received and direct loan origination costs are
deferred and amortized to revenues over the contractual lives of the
respective loans using the interest method. Unamortized amounts are
recognized in revenues when loans are sold or paid in full.
    Finance receivables are written off when they are deemed uncollectible,
but in any event all consumer loan accounts for which an amount
aggregating a full contractual payment has not been received for six
consecutive months are written off. Commercial loans are written down to
the fair value (less estimated costs to sell) of the related collateral
when the collateral is repossessed or when no payment has been received
for six months, unless management deems the loans collectible.
Foreclosed real estate loans are transferred out of finance receivables
into other assets at the lower of fair value (less estimated costs to
sell) or the outstanding loan balance. The difference between the amount
transferred and the outstanding loan balance is written off. The
carrying value of real estate owned is periodically reevaluated and,
where appropriate, adjustments are made through a valuation allowance to
reflect subsequent changes in fair value, but the carrying value is
never increased above the amount originally transferred.
    Provisions for losses on finance receivables are charged to income in
amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance at a level considered
adequate to cover the losses in the existing receivable portfolio.

INSURANCE OPERATIONS
RECOGNITION OF REVENUES AND EXPENSES
Premiums from individual disability insurance and traditional life
insurance products are recognized in revenues when due. Group insurance
premiums are recognized as income over the period to which the premiums
relate. Benefits and expenses relating to those businesses are
recognized over the life of the contracts through the establishment of
reserves for future policy benefits and the amortization of deferred
policy acquisition costs. Benefits to policyholders include benefits
paid or accrued, changes in reserves for future policy benefits and
surrenders.
    For investment and interest-sensitive life products, revenues consist of
policy and surrender charges assessed during the year. Benefits and
expenses for these products include amounts incurred during the year for
benefit claims in excess of related account balances, policy maintenance
expenses, interest credited and amortization of deferred policy
acquisition costs.
    Unearned insurance premiums are deferred and subsequently recognized in
revenues over the lives of the policies (a) on the interest method for
decreasing term credit life insurance coverage and on the pro rata
method for level term credit life coverage, (b) in relation to
anticipated claims for credit disability insurance and (c) on the pro
rata method for casualty insurance.

DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Costs which vary with and are related primarily to, the production of
new business, have been deferred to the extent such costs are deemed
recoverable from future profits. Such costs include commissions,
selling, selection and policy issue expenses. For disability insurance,
traditional life insurance and casualty insurance products, these costs
are amortized in proportion to premiums over the estimated lives of the
policies. Anticipated investment income is considered in determining if
a premium deficiency relating to short-term contracts exists. For
investment and interest-sensitive life products, these costs are
amortized in proportion to estimated gross profits from interest,
mortality and other margins under the contracts.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INSURANCE RESERVES AND CLAIMS
Reserves for future policy benefits and unpaid claims and claim expenses
include policy reserves, claim reserves and claim liabilities
established for Textron's individual disability, group and individual
life insurance products.
    Policy reserves represent the portion of premiums received, accumulated
with interest, to provide for future claims. Policy reserves for
individual disability insurance and traditional life insurance products
are based on Textron's withdrawal, morbidity and mortality experience.
Policy reserves for interest-sensitive life insurance products represent
the accumulated policy account value.
    Claim reserves are established for future payments not yet due on claims
already incurred, primarily relating to individual disability insurance
and group long-term disability insurance products. These reserves are
established based on past experience and are periodically reviewed and
updated. Any resulting adjustments are reflected in current operations.
Claim liabilities represent policy benefits currently due but unpaid at
year end.
    Other policyholder funds represent amounts accumulated under deferred
contracts to provide annuities in the future.

INVESTMENTS
Prior to 1994, investments in marketable equity securities were carried
at market value. Investments in most debt securities and all mortgage
loans were carried at amortized cost (less adjustments for other than
temporary declines in value). A portion of Textron's debt security
portfolio was considered available for sale and carried at the lower of
aggregate amortized cost or market.
    Effective at the beginning of 1994, Textron adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (FAS 115). Securities carried
at amortized cost and classified in Textron's held to maturity category
are those which Textron has both the ability and positive intent to hold
to maturity. Securities classified in the available for sale category
are carried at estimated fair value and consist of those securities
which Textron intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not
necessarily to maturity. Unrealized gains and losses related to
securities available for sale, net of applicable income taxes, are
reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. To comply with
FAS 115, Textron transferred certain debt securities from the held to
maturity category to the available for sale category of its investment
portfolio. In accordance with FAS 115, prior years' financial statements
have not been restated to reflect this change in accounting principle.
The adoption of FAS 115 had no effect on Textron's net income or its
cash flows.
    Net realized gains or losses resulting from sales or calls of
investments and losses resulting from declines in fair values of
investments that are other than temporary declines are included in
revenues. The cost of securities sold is determined primarily on the
specific identification method.

INVENTORIES
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. See Note 5 for
further information about inventories.

LONG-TERM CONTRACTS AND PROGRAMS
Sales under fixed-price contracts and programs are generally recorded as
deliveries are made. Sales under cost reimbursement-type contracts are
recorded as costs are incurred and fees are earned. Certain contracts
are awarded on a fixed-price incentive fee basis. Incentive fees on such
contracts are considered when estimating revenues and profit rates and
are recorded when the amounts can reasonably be determined. Costs
attributed to units delivered under fixed-price contracts are based
generally on the estimated average cost per unit at contract completion
and under programs are based on the average remaining cost per unit.
Profits expected to be realized on long-term contracts and programs are
based on estimates of total sales value and costs at completion. Such
estimates are reviewed and revised periodically throughout the lives of
the contracts and programs. Revisions to contract profits are recorded
in the accounting period in which the revisions are made. Revisions to
program profits are recorded over the balance of the programs. Estimated
losses on contracts and programs are recorded when identified. See Notes
4 and 5 for further information about receivables and inventories
related to long-term contracts and programs.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
The cost of property, plant and equipment is being depreciated based on
the estimated useful lives of the assets. See Note 6 for further
information about property, plant and equipment.

GOODWILL
Goodwill related to Textron's manufacturing operations is being
amortized on the straight-line method over periods ranging from 20 to 40
years. Goodwill related to Textron's finance and insurance subsidiaries
is being amortized on the straight-line method over 25 years.

<PAGE> 40
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Income per common share is based on average common shares outstanding
during each year assuming full conversion of outstanding preferred stock
and exercise of stock options. Such average shares were 90,119,000 in
1994; 90,052,000 in 1993 and 88,580,000 in 1992.

TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES AND FOREIGN
EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS
Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements
of most of Textron's foreign operations are excluded from the
determination of its income and accumulated in a separate component of
shareholders' equity until the entity is sold or substantially
liquidated.
    Foreign exchange gains and losses included in income (which relate
principally to transactions denominated in foreign currencies) in 1994,
1993 and 1992 were not material.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Company funded research and development expenditures are charged to
expense as incurred. See Note 11 for further information about research
and development.

INTEREST RATE EXCHANGE AGREEMENTS
As part of managing its interest rate exposure on its variable interest
rate borrowings, Textron is a party to various interest rate exchange
agreements. While Textron is exposed to credit loss for the periodic
settlement of amounts due under such agreements in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties, Textron does not anticipate
nonperformance by any of those parties. The risk of loss in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties was insignificant at the end of
1994.
    Interest differentials to be paid or received are accrued and recognized
in interest expense over the lives of the agreements.

INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between
the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and
liabilities based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when
such amounts are expected to be realized or settled. See Note 14 for
further information about income taxes.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values presented in Note 15 are estimates of the fair values of
the financial instruments at a specific point in time using available
market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and
significant judgment in the interpretation of current market data.
Therefore, the fair values presented are not necessarily indicative of
amounts Textron could realize or settle currently. Textron does not
necessarily intend to dispose of or liquidate such instruments prior to
maturity.

ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
Environmental liabilities are recorded based on the most probable cost
if known or on the estimated minimum cost, determined on a site by site
basis. Textron's environmental liabilities are undiscounted and do not
take into consideration any possible recoveries of future insurance
proceeds or significant claims against other third parties. See Note 16
for further information about environmental matters.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1 ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
ACQUISITIONS
In May 1993, Textron acquired the plastics operations of the Acustar
division of Chrysler Corporation. In February 1992, Textron acquired the
outstanding common stock of The Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) and
substantially all of the assets of USA Financial Services, Inc.

In conjunction with these acquisitions, Textron assumed liabilities as
follows:

    In early 1989, Textron acquired Avdel plc, a fastening systems
manufacturing business based in England. Due to a challenge of the
acquisition under the antitrust laws by the U.S. Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) in February 1989, Textron did not acquire control of
Avdel until May 1994 after complying with a settlement reached with the
FTC. Avdel's results of operations are included in Textron's financial
statements beginning in the second quarter of 1994.
    In January 1995, Avco Financial Services (AFS) acquired the stock of HFC
of Australia Ltd. and its Australian subsidiaries (HFCA), subsidiaries
of Household International, Inc. This acquisition added approximately
$436 million of finance receivables to AFS' portfolio.

DISPOSITIONS
On August 29, 1994, Textron sold its Homelite division and on October
28, 1994, it sold its Lycoming Turbine Engine division for cash plus the
assumption of certain liabilities. Cash proceeds from these sales
aggregated $495 million. The aftertax effect on net income of the sales
of these divisions (which was due to the nontax deductibility of
goodwill) was immaterial.

maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may
have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or
prepayment penalties.

    In 1994, gross realized gains and losses from sales of securities
classified as available for sale were $32 million and $4 million,
respectively. Also in 1994, an investment in the held to maturity
category with an amortized cost of $10 million was sold due to
significant deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Gross gains
and losses realized on sales of debt securities (excluding commercial
paper) were $14 million and $3 million, respectively, in 1993 and $33
million and $21 million, respectively, in 1992. Net realized gains
resulting from sales of marketable equity securities were $9 million in
1993.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The maximum term over which consumer loans and retail installment
contracts are written is ten years, but approximately 90% of these loans
are written with terms of four years or less. Consumer real estate loans
are written with a maximum term of 15 years. Consumer loans are
unsecured or secured by personal property and are in relatively small
amounts. Retail installment contracts are secured by personal property.
Consumer real estate loans are secured by real property and are limited
to a maximum of 85% of the property's appraised market value at the date
of the loans.
    Commercial installment contracts have initial terms generally ranging
from one to 12 years. Commercial real estate loans have initial terms
generally ranging from three to five years. Finance leases have initial
terms generally up to 12 years. Leveraged leases have initial terms up
to approximately 30 years. Finance leases and commercial installment
contracts are secured by the financed equipment and, in some instances,
by the personal guarantee of the principals or recourse arrangements
with the originating vendor. Commercial real estate loans are secured by
real property and are generally limited to a maximum of 80% of the
property's appraised market value at the date of the loans. Leveraged
leases are secured by the ownership of the leased asset.
    Accounts are often repaid or refinanced prior to contractual maturity.
Accordingly, the foregoing tabulation should not be regarded as a
forecast of future cash collections. In 1994 and 1993, cash collections
of receivables (excluding finance charges) were $4.7 billion and $4.2
billion, respectively. The ratio of cash collections to average net
receivables was approximately 58% and 57%, respectively. Nonearning
finance receivables were $182 million at the end of 1994.

4 LONG-TERM CONTRACT AND PROGRAM RECEIVABLES
Long-term contract and program receivables at December 31, 1994 and
January 1, 1994 aggregated $153 million and $251 million, respectively,
including $69 million and $114 million, respectively, of unbilled costs
and accrued profits on long-term contracts for which the contractual
criteria for billing had not yet been met. An estimated $53 million and
$65 million, respectively, of the unbilled amounts are not expected to
be collected within one year. There are no significant amounts included
in receivables which represent balances billed but unpaid under
contractual retainage provisions or significant long-term contract
receivables subject to uncertainty as to collection.

Inventories aggregating $664 million at December 31, 1994 and $734
million at January 1, 1994 were valued by the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method. (Had such LIFO inventories been valued at current costs, their
carrying values would have been approximately $144 million and $148
million higher at those respective dates.) The remaining inventories,
other than those related to certain long-term contracts and programs,
are valued generally by the first-in, first-out method.
    Inventories related to long-term contracts and programs, net of progress
and advance payments, were $451 million at December 31, 1994 and $553
million at January 1, 1994. Such inventories include unamortized
tooling, deferred learning costs and costs related to unnegotiated,
customer-directed changes of approximately $193 million at December 31,
1994 and $235 million at January 1, 1994. Textron expects to recover all
such amounts over the related contracts and programs. As to government
contracts, inventory costs also generally include general and
administrative expenses ($30 million at December 31, 1994; $40 million
at January 1, 1994).

The laws of many states in which Textron's insurance subsidiaries are
admitted to do business require as a condition of admission that all
insurance companies so admitted collectively guarantee to their
policyholders the solvency of other insurance companies admitted in the
particular state. Textron's insurance subsidiaries have not been
required to date to make any significant payments pursuant to such
guarantees. While the amount of any assessments which may be made in the
future cannot be predicted, Textron does not believe any such
assessments would be material to its net income or financial condition.

    The Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group maintains credit facilities
with various banks for borrowing funds on both a short- and a long-term
basis.
    Textron has credit agreements with 37 banks aggregating $1.5 billion, of
which $1.25 billion is available on a fully revolving basis until
October 29, 1997, with the remainder available on a fully revolving
basis until October 29, 1995. Textron pays fees in support of those
facilities. The credit agreements contain provisions requiring Textron
to maintain a minimum level of shareholders' equity and a minimum
interest coverage ratio. The portion of the credit facilities not used
or reserved as support for commercial paper or bank borrowings at
December 31, 1994 was $1.1 billion.
    Textron's finance subsidiaries -- AFS and Textron Financial Corporation
(TFC) -- have lines of credit with various banks aggregating $3.6 billion
at December 31, 1994. The subsidiaries' lines of credit not used or
reserved as support for commercial paper or bank borrowings at December
31, 1994 were $60 million. AFS and TFC generally pay fees in support of
these lines.
    The amount of the net assets of Textron's finance and insurance
subsidiaries available for cash dividends and other payments to the
Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group is restricted by the terms of
lending agreements and insurance statutory requirements. As of December
31, 1994, approximately $245 million of their net assets of $2.2 billion
was available to be transferred to the Textron Parent Company Borrowing
Group pursuant to these restrictions. AFS' and TFC's loan agreements
also contain various restrictive provisions regarding additional debt,
the creation of liens or guarantees and the making of investments.

    Under interest rate exchange agreements, Textron and its finance
subsidiaries make periodic fixed payments in exchange for periodic
variable payments. Textron and its finance subsidiaries have entered
into such agreements to mitigate their exposure to increases in interest
rates on a portion of their variable rate debt. During 1994, the finance
subsidiaries had $514 million of interest rate exchange agreements go
into effect. The agreements in effect at the end of 1994 and 1993, which
had weighted average original terms of 8.3 years and 7.9 years for the
Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group and 3.5 years and 4.4 years for
the finance subsidiaries,

     in 1998, $127 million (6.0%) in 1999 and $15 million (6.7%) thereafter.
</TABLE>

    In addition, the finance subsidiaries entered into interest rate
exchange agreements that had the effect of exchanging the indices used
to determine interest expense under certain variable rate borrowings for
the purpose of better matching the rate of interest incurred on its
financing with the rate of interest earned on certain of their variable
rate finance receivables. At the end of 1994, $205 million of such
agreements were in effect. The agreements expire in 1998.

9 SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
PREFERRED STOCK
Each share of $2.08 Preferred Stock ($23.63 approximate stated value) is
convertible into 2.2 shares of common stock and is redeemable by Textron
at $50 per share. In the event of involuntary liquidation, preferred
shareholders would be entitled to $50 per share and accrued dividends.
In the event of voluntary liquidation, shareholders would be entitled to
$50 per share.
    Each share of $1.40 Preferred Dividend Stock ($11.82 approximate stated
value) is convertible into 1.8 shares of common stock and is redeemable
by Textron at $45 per share. In the event of liquidation, holders of
each share of such stock would be entitled to receive accrued dividends
and thereafter share ratably on a converted basis with holders of common
stock, subject to the prior rights of the $2.08 Preferred Stock.

PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS
One-half of a Preferred Stock Purchase Right (Right) is attached to each
outstanding share of common stock. Each whole Right entitles the holder
to buy one unit of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an
exercise price of $175. The Rights will become exercisable only under
certain circumstances related to a person or group acquiring or offering
to acquire a substantial block of Textron's common stock. If certain
additional events then occur, each whole Right will allow holders of
units to acquire common stock of Textron, or in some cases of an
acquiring entity, having a value equal to twice the exercise price. The
Rights expire in March 1996, but may be redeemed earlier at a price of
$.05 per whole Right.

STOCK OPTIONS AND PERFORMANCE AWARDS
In April 1994, Textron's shareholders approved the adoption of the 1994
Long-Term Incentive Plan which authorizes the granting of awards to key
employees in the following forms: (a) performance share units and (b)
options to purchase Textron common stock.
    Performance share unit awards entitle recipients to payments in cash
upon the attainment of performance targets established at the time such
awards are granted. Amounts paid under performance share unit awards are
based on the degree of attainment of the performance targets and the
price of Textron's common stock at the end of the measurement period.
    The Plan provides for both incentive stock options and non-qualified
stock options exercisable at a purchase price per share not less than
the fair market value of Textron common stock at the date of grant and
in the case of incentive stock options within ten years. The total
number of shares of common stock for which options may be granted under
the Plan is 5,000,000.

Textron performs research and development under both company initiated
programs and contracts with others, primarily the U.S. Government.
Company initiated programs include research and development for
commercial products and independent research and development related to
government products and services. A significant portion of the cost
incurred for independent research and development is recoverable from
the U.S. Government through overhead cost allowances.
    Company funded research and development, as indicated below, includes
amounts charged to income with respect to (a) company initiated programs
and (b) the cost sharing portions of, and any losses incurred on,
customer initiated programs.

12 PENSION BENEFITS
Textron and certain of its subsidiaries have a number of defined benefit
pension plans covering substantially all of their employees. Benefits
under salaried plans are based on salary and years of service, while
benefits under hourly plans generally are based on negotiated amounts
and years of service. Textron's funding policy is consistent with the
funding requirements of federal law and regulations. Plan assets consist
principally of corporate and government bonds and common stocks.

    Pension cost in 1994, 1993 and 1992 included the following components:

13 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
Textron and certain of its subsidiaries have a number of defined
contribution savings and other retirement plans, including Textron's
employee stock ownership plan, covering both salaried and hourly
employees. Eligible employees who participate in certain of these plans
receive, within certain limits, matching Textron contributions. Costs
relating to these plans, which are generally funded as accrued, amounted
to approximately $37 million, $33 million and $35 million for 1994, 1993
and 1992, respectively, of which $18 million, $17 million and $20
million related to the employee stock ownership plan for 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively.
    Textron provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
certain retired employees. Eligibility for these benefits is restricted
to the particular benefit plans at the particular locations offering
postretirement benefits. These benefits and similar benefits for active
employees are administered by insurance companies or other carriers who
determine premiums for insured plans and expected costs to be paid
during the year under self-insured plans.
    In 1992, Textron adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions" (FAS 106), with respect to its retiree health care and life
insurance benefits. FAS 106 requires Textron to recognize the cost of
such benefits using the accrual method of accounting over the employees'
years of service.
    The FAS 106 transition obligation - representing the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation for Textron's retiree health care and
life insurance benefit plans at December 29, 1991 - of $570 million

($6.44 per share), net of related income tax benefit, was recorded as
the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The
respective amounts of such retiree costs deductible for tax purposes,
allocable to government contracts and allowable in contract price
determinations are not affected by FAS 106. The adoption of FAS 106 had
no cash flow impact on Textron.

    Postretirement benefit costs other than those related to pensions in
1994, 1993 and 1992 included the following components:

</TABLE>

    An assumed discount rate of 7.25% and 8.0% was used to determine
postretirement benefit costs other than pensions for 1994 and 1993,
respectively. An assumed discount rate of 8.25% and 7.25% was used to
determine the status of Textron's plans at December 31, 1994 and January
1, 1994, respectively. The weighted average annual assumed rate of
increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (that is, the health
care cost trend rate) is 10% for retirees age 65 and over and 14% for
retirees under age 65 in 1995, and both rates are assumed to decrease
gradually to 5.5% until 2002 and 2004, respectively, and remain at that
rate thereafter. Increasing these rates by one percentage point in each
year would have increased the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation as of December 31, 1994 by $69 million and increased the
aggregate of the service and interest cost components of postretirement
benefit costs for 1994 by $7 million.

14 INCOME TAXES
Textron files a consolidated federal income tax return which includes
all U.S. subsidiaries. Separate returns are filed for Textron's foreign
subsidiaries.
    In 1992, Textron adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS 109). FAS 109 requires Textron
to modify its income tax accounting so that deferred taxes are stated at
prevailing income tax rates and to modify the accounting for income
taxes in purchase business combinations. Textron's adoption of FAS 109
was made by a cumulative effect charge to income of $109 million ($1.23
per share). The adoption of FAS 109 had no cash flow impact on Textron.

    Income before income taxes is summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

    Cash payments for income taxes were $224 million, $189 million and $147
million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
    Deferred income taxes have not been provided for the undistributed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries which aggregated approximately $571
million at the end of 1994. Management's intention is to reinvest such
undistributed earnings for an indefinite period, except for
distributions upon which incremental taxes would not be material. If
such earnings were distributed, taxes (net of foreign tax credits) would
have increased by approximately $43 million, principally due to foreign
withholding taxes.
    At the end of 1994, consolidated shareholders' equity included $84
million of U.S. life insurance subsidiaries' policyholders' surplus on
which no income taxes have been provided. The amount of taxes which
would become due if the surplus were distributed to the life insurance
subsidiaries' shareholders is approximately $29 million. Under present
circumstances, it is not anticipated that any of these earnings will
become taxable.

15 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair
value of Textron's financial instruments except for certain excluded
instruments and instruments for which it is not practicable to estimate
fair value:

INVESTMENTS
The estimated fair values of investment securities, except for insurance
policy loans to policyholders, were based on quoted market prices where
available. If quoted market prices were not available, the estimated
fair values were based on independent appraisals, prices from
independent brokers or discounted cash flow analyses using interest
rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers of similar
credit quality. The estimated fair value of insurance policy loans to
policyholders approximated the carrying value of such loans.

FINANCE RECEIVABLES
The estimated fair values of fixed rate consumer loans, real estate
loans and commercial installment contracts were estimated based on
discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being
offered for similar loans to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Estimated future cash flows were adjusted for Textron's estimates of
prepayments, refinances and loan losses based on internal historical
data. The estimated fair value of all variable rate receivables and
fixed rate retail installment contracts approximated

<PAGE> 52
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


the net carrying value of such receivables. The estimated fair values of
nonperforming loans were based on independent appraisals, discounted cash
flow analyses, using risk adjusted interest rates, or Textron valuations
based upon the fair value of the related collateral. The fair values of
Textron's lease receivables and finance-related insurance reserves and
claims ($914 million and $251 million, net carrying value, respectively,
at the end of 1994 and $826 million and $232 million, net carrying
value, respectively, at the end of 1993) are not required to be
disclosed under generally accepted accounting principles.

INSURANCE RESERVES AND CLAIMS
The estimated fair value of other policyholder funds was based on the
cash surrender value of Paul Revere's financial products portfolio. The
fair value of reserves or liabilities relating to Textron's other
insurance products is not required to be disclosed under generally
accepted accounting principles.

DEBT AND  INTEREST RATE EXCHANGE AGREEMENTS
The estimated fair value of fixed rate debt was determined by either
independent investment bankers or discounted cash flow analyses using
interest rates for similar debt with maturities similar to the remaining
terms of the existing debt. The fair values of variable rate debt and
borrowings under or supported by long-term credit facilities
approximated their carrying values. The estimated fair values of
interest rate exchange agreements were determined by independent
investment bankers and represent the estimated amounts that Textron or
its counterparty would be required to pay to assume the other party's
obligations under the agreements.

    The carrying values and estimated fair values of
Textron's financial instruments for which it is
practicable to calculate a fair value are as follows:

16 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.
    With respect to environmental matters, Textron's accrued estimated
environmental liabilities are based on assumptions which are subject to
a number of factors and uncertainties which can affect the reliability
and precision of such accruals, including (a) the unavailability of
information about the number of additional sites at which Textron may be
identified as a potentially responsible party by both federal and state
governments, (b) uncertainties about the nature and application of
environmental regulations being promulgated, (c) the level of cleanup
that may be required at specific sites and choices concerning the
technologies to be applied in corrective actions, (d) the number of
contributors to the costs of remediation at specific sites and the
financial condition of the contributors, and (e) the time periods over
which remediation may occur. It is estimated that Textron's accrued
environmental remediation liabilities will be paid primarily over the
next five to ten years.

18 FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY BORROWING GROUP
Textron consists of two borrowing groups - the Textron Parent Company
Borrowing Group and its finance and insurance subsidiaries.
    This framework is designed to enhance the borrowing power of the total
company by separating borrowing oriented units of a specialized
business nature such as financial services.
    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.

Corporation (PRC), sold 7.5 million shares of PRC, representing 16.7%
of the outstanding shares of PRC, on October 26, 1993, in an

Notes:
(i) TFC derives a substantial portion of its business from financing the sale and lease of products
manufactured and sold by Textron. In 1994, 1993 and 1992, TFC paid Textron $595 million, $617 million and
$576 million, respectively, for the purchase of receivables and operating lease equipment. Under operating
agreements with Textron, TFC generally has recourse to Textron with respect to finance receivables
and leases of products manufactured and sold by Textron. At the end of 1994, finance receivables and
operating lease equipment of $852 million ($771 million at the end of 1993) were due from Textron or subject
to recourse to Textron.

(ii) Textron has agreed to cause TFC's pretax income available for fixed charges to be not less than 125% of
its fixed charges and its consolidated shareholder's equity to be not less than $200 million. No related
payments were required for 1994, 1993 or 1992.

(iii) Approximately 76%, 73% and 73% of the credit life and credit disability insurance premiums earned and
25%, 22% and 20% of the casualty insurance premiums earned in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, were
related directly to AFS' consumer loan activities.
