TEXTRON INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1:     Basis of Presentation

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in Textron's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2000. The financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of Textron's consolidated financial position at September 30, 2000, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for each of the respective three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 2:     Earnings per Share

The dilutive effect of convertible preferred shares and stock options was 2,140,000 and 3,337,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999 and 2,343,000 and 3,501,000 shares for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999, respectively. Income available to common shareholders used to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share approximated net income for both periods.

Note 4:     Investments in Marketable Securities

Investments in marketable securities, a component of other assets, are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at their fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities, net of related income taxes, are included in stockholders' equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At September 30, 2000, the Company's investments consisted of equity securities, with a total tax effected net unrealized loss of approximately $37 million included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. As of October 28, 2000, the total tax effected net unrealized loss of the Company's portfolio of equity securities had increased to approximately $46 million from September 30, 2000.

Note 5:

Textron Finance - Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Finance Subsidiary Holding Solely Junior Subordinated Debentures

Litchfield Financial Corporation (Litchfield, a subsidiary of Textron Financial Corporation) was acquired by Textron Financial Corporation during 1999. Prior to the acquisition, a trust sponsored and wholly-owned by Litchfield issued Series A Preferred Securities to the public (for $26 million), the proceeds of which were invested by the trust in $26 million aggregate principal amount of Litchfield's newly issued 10% Series A Junior Subordinated Debentures (Series A Debentures), due 2029. The debentures are the sole asset of the trust. The preferred securities were recorded by Textron Financial Corporation at fair value as of the acquisition date. The amounts due to the trust under the subordinated debentures and the related income statement amounts have been eliminated in Textron's consolidated financial statements.

The preferred securities accrue and pay cash distributions quarterly at a rate of 10% per annum. The trust's obligation under the Series A Preferred Securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Litchfield. The trust will redeem all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Securities when the Series A Debentures are paid at maturity on June 30, 2029, or otherwise become due. Litchfield will have the right to redeem 100% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest on or after June 30, 2004.

Note 6:

Textron - Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust Holding Solely Textron Junior Subordinated Debt Securities

In 1996, a trust sponsored and wholly-owned by Textron issued preferred securities to the public (for $500 million) and shares of its common securities to Textron (for $15.5 million), the proceeds of which were invested by the trust in $515.5 million aggregate principal amount of Textron's newly issued 7.92% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures, due 2045. The debentures are the sole asset of the trust. The amounts due to the trust under the debentures and the related income statement amounts have been eliminated in Textron's consolidated financial statements. The preferred securities accrue and pay cash distributions quarterly at a rate of 7.92% per annum. Textron has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, distributions and other payments due on the preferred securities. The guarantee, when taken together with Textron's obligations under the debentures and in the indenture pursuant to which the debentures were issued and Textron's obligations under the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust governing the trust, provides a full and unconditional guarantee of amounts due on the preferred securities.

The preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the debentures on March 31, 2045, or earlier to the extent of any redemption by Textron of any debentures. The redemption price in either such case will be $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date fixed for redemption.

7.

Note 7:     Contingencies

Textron is subject to legal proceedings arising out of the conduct of its business. These proceedings include claims arising from private transactions, government contracts, product liability, and environmental, safety and health matters. Some of these legal proceedings seek damages, fines or penalties in substantial amounts or remediation of environmental contamination. Under federal government procurement regulations, certain claims brought by the U.S. Government could result in Textron's suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting for a period of time. On the basis of information presently available, Textron believes that these suits and proceedings will not have a material effect on Textron's net income or financial condition.

Note 8:     Comprehensive Income

During the first nine months of 2000 and 1999, total comprehensive income amounted to $322 million and $2,035 million, respectively. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999, total comprehensive income amounted to $109 million and $146 million, respectively.

Note 9:     Special Charges/(Credits)

To enhance competitiveness and profitability of its core business, Textron recorded pre-tax charges related to certain restructuring activities in 1999 and 1998. The charges included asset impairments, severance costs, and other exit related costs associated with cost reduction programs. As of September 30, 2000, approximately 2,700 employees had been terminated under these severance programs. During the first nine months of 2000, Textron utilized $16 million of the $22 million beginning of year reserve for severance and other costs relating to restructuring. As of September 30, 2000, the remaining reserve for these programs is $6 million.

On October 19, 2000, Textron announced that the Company is currently developing and evaluating additional cost reduction programs. Non-recurring charges are anticipated to be incurred in future quarters as such programs become finalized.

8.

Note 10:     Pre-production Costs

Prior to fiscal year 2000, customer engineering and tooling project costs for which customer reimbursement was anticipated were capitalized and classified in other assets. Effective January 2, 2000, Textron adopted Emerging Issues Tax Force (EITF) Issue No. 99-5 "Accounting for Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Arrangements". This consensus requires that all design and development costs for products sold under long-term supply arrangements be expensed unless there is a contractual guarantee that provides for specific required payments for these costs. Textron has reported a Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle of $59 million (net of tax), or approximately $0.41 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2000 related to the adoption of this consensus.

Pro forma income from continuing operations, net income and related diluted earnings per common share amounts as if the provisions of EITF 99-5 had been applied during the three and nine month periods ended October 2, 1999 are as follows:

Note 11:     Financial Information by Borrowing Group

Textron's financings are conducted through two borrowing groups, Textron Finance and Textron Manufacturing. This framework is designed to enhance the Company's borrowing power by separating the Finance segment, which is a borrowing unit of a specialized business nature. Textron Finance consists of Textron Financial Corporation consolidated with its subsidiaries, which are the entities through which Textron operates its Finance segment. Textron Finance finances its operations by borrowing from its own group of external creditors. Textron Manufacturing is Textron Inc., the parent company consolidated with the entities which operate in the Aircraft, Automotive and Industrial business segments.

(a)

Segment operating income excludes Textron Manufacturing interest expense, corporate expenses, special (credits)/charges, and gains or losses from the disposition of businesses. The Finance segment includes interest income, interest expense and distributions on preferred securities of Finance subsidiary trust as part of operating income.

(b)

The third quarter 1999 results reflected a gain of $19 million as a result of shares granted to Textron from Manulife Financial Corp.'s initial public offering on their demutualization of Manufacturers' Life Insurance Company. This benefit was offset by additional restructuring reserves for the Industrial segment ($16M) and a contribution of Manulife shares to the Textron Charitable Trust ($3M), which is reflected in Corporate expenses and other - net. Year to date 1999 special (charges)/credits also include ($26 million) primarily for the Industrial segment and a reversal of $24 million of reserves no longer deemed necessary for the 1998 restructuring program ($8 Million Automotive segment, $16 million Industrial segment).

12.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Statements of Cash Flows for Textron Inc. and Textron Manufacturing detailing the changes in cash balances are on pages 4 and 10, respectively. Textron Manufacturing's operating cash flow includes dividends received from Textron Finance of $53 million and $36 million during the first nine months of 2000 and 1999, respectively. Dividend payments to shareholders for the first nine months of 2000 include three payments as opposed to the first nine months of 1999 when four payments were made. Dividend payments to shareholders for the first nine months of 2000 amounted to $143 million, a decrease of $45 million over the first nine months of 1999.

Textron Manufacturing's debt to total capital ratio was 32% at September 30, 2000 up from 27% at year end. The increase is consistent with Textron's financial target of maintaining its debt to capital ratio in the low to mid-30% range.

During the first nine months of 2000, Textron Manufacturing reduced its multi-currency credit facility by approximately $34 million while Textron Finance increased its committed credit lines by $200 million. A summary of credit line facilities is as follows:

In July 2000, £20 million British Pound Sterling ($30 million U.S. dollar equivalent) notes were redeemed at par with general corporate funds. In August 2000, Textron issued $200 million of Extendible Commercial Notes (ECNs). These ECNs provide an alternate source of liquidity to the existing commercial paper program without requiring Textron to obtain additional bank credit in support of these obligations. At September 30, 2000 $150 million of these ECNs were outstanding with an average initial interest yield of 6.75% and initial redemption dates in October and November 2000. Textron may choose to extend the maturity of these ECNs for up to 390 days from issuance. If Textron exercises this option, the ECNs will bear LIBOR-based interest commensurate with Textron's short-term debt credit ratings. Subsequent to exercising its extension option, the ECNs are redeemable by Textron at the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

Historically, Textron has generally financed foreign acquisitions with domestic borrowings and utilized foreign currency exchange agreements to synthetically convert these into foreign currency borrowings. These synthetic foreign currency borrowings naturally offset exposures to foreign exchange risk for assets and earnings in the same foreign currency. At year-end 1999, Textron began to utilize actual foreign currency borrowings in addition to synthetically converted U.S. borrowings for these purposes. In the first quarter of 2000 Textron Manufacturing established a two billion Euro Medium-Term Note facility (EMTN), which provides for the issuance of debt securities denominated in the Euro or other currencies. In March 2000, Textron issued 300 million Euro-denominated ($262 million U.S. dollar-equivalent as of September 30, 2000) 5.63% medium-term notes which mature in 2005. The proceeds from the sale of these notes were used to reduce existing short-term debt and for general corporate purposes. In the second quarter of 2000, Textron issued 150 million British Pound Sterling-denominated ($216 million U.S. dollar-equivalent as of September 30, 2000) 6.63% notes under the 

13.

EMTN which mature in 2020. The proceeds from the sale of these notes were used to reduce existing short-term debt. At September 30, 2000, Textron Manufacturing had $1.5 billion available under its existing shelf registration statement filed with the Securities Exchange Commission and approximately $1.3 billion U.S. dollar-equivalent available under the EMTN.

During the first nine months of 2000, Textron Finance increased its medium-term note facility by $300 million and issued $415 million of one year variable rate notes. The related proceeds were used to refinance maturing commercial paper. The medium-term note facility was fully utilized as of September 30, 2000. Textron Finance also issued a $40 million variable rate note and a 50 million Canadian dollar-denominated ($33 million U.S. dollar-equivalent as of September 30, 2000) note through private placements which mature in 2004 and 2003, respectively. In April 2000, Textron Finance issued $750 million in variable rate notes under its shelf registration statement facility of which $275 million matures in 2001 and $475 million matures in 2002. The proceeds from these notes were used to refinance maturing commercial paper and terminate $220 million of other variable rate debt, which was prepaid at par. At September 30, 2000, $1.25 billion was available under the shelf registration statement.

In April 2000, Textron Finance entered into interest rate exchange agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million to fix the interest rate on $150 million of the new notes issued under the shelf registration statement. Further, Textron Finance entered into basis swaps against the remaining $600 million of new debt to convert the related variable interest rate payments from LIBOR-based payments to Prime-based payments. The objective of these basis swaps is to lock in desired spreads between floating rate receivables indexed to the Prime rate and floating rate liabilities indexed to LIBOR. Additionally, during the second quarter Textron Finance terminated fixed-pay interest rate exchange agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million that were hedging existing variable rate debt.

In August and September 2000, Textron Finance securitized approximately $210 million of captive golf finance receivables (captive receivables) and $482 million of independent aircraft finance receivables, respectively. In connection with the securitizations, Textron Finance terminated $300 million notional interest rate exchange agreements that were entered in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 to hedge the cash receipts associated with the securitization. These securitizations provided Textron Finance with an alternate source of financing while maintaining desired debt to capital ratios. Textron Finance utilized the proceeds from the securitization to retire commercial paper.

Textron Finance anticipates additional asset securitizations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 and has entered $100 million aggregate notional forward starting interest rate exchange agreements to hedge cash receipts of these future transactions. Textron Finance has also entered forward starting interest rate exchange agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $200 million to fix interest rate payments on debt expected to be issued in the first quarter of fiscal 2001.

On February 23, 2000, Textron announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a new ten-million share repurchase program. This program superceded the 4.8 million shares that remained under its previous authorization. During the first nine months of 2000, Textron Inc. repurchased 4.8 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $275 million.

During the first nine months of 2000, Textron Manufacturing acquired 11 companies, acquired remaining minority interests of two entities and entered into one joint venture at a total cost of $120

14.

million including debt assumed of $36 million. Also in the first quarter of 2000, Textron purchased approximately $100 million of Safeguard Scientifics Inc. common stock as part of a strategic alliance with this internet holding and operating company. Under the alliance, Textron will work with Safeguard partner companies to develop and execute global e-commerce strategies. As a result of this alliance, during the first nine months of 2000 Textron has invested approximately $8 million in the common stock of a Safeguard partner company, and could make similar investments in future periods. In the second quarter of 2000, Textron purchased $25 million of EqualFooting.com, Inc. convertible preferred stock in support of the Company's e-commerce initiative. Management believes that Textron will continue to have adequate access to credit markets and that its credit facilities and cash flows from operations will continue to be more than sufficient to meet its operating needs and to finance growth.

Quantitative Risk Measures

Textron has used a sensitivity analysis to quantify the market risk inherent in its financial instruments. Financial instruments held by the Company that are subject to market risk (interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk, and equity price risk) include finance receivables (excluding lease receivables), investments in marketable securities, debt, interest rate exchange agreements, foreign exchange contracts and currency swaps.

Presented below is a sensitivity analysis of the fair value of Textron's financial instruments for September 30, 2000 and January 1, 2000. The table illustrates the hypothetical change in the fair value of the Company's financial instruments at September 30, 2000 and year-end assuming a 10% decrease in interest rates, a 10% strengthening in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar and a 10% decrease in the quoted market prices of its investments in marketable equity securities. The estimated fair value of the financial instruments was determined by discounted cash flow analysis, by independent investment bankers and from quoted market prices for publicly traded equity securities. This sensitivity analysis is most likely not indicative of actual results in the future.

Results of Operations - Three months ended September 30, 2000 vs. Three months ended October 2, 1999

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the third quarter 2000 were $1.08 per share, up 14% from the 1999 amount of $0.95. Segment operating income in 2000 of $333 million was up 18% from $283 million in 1999, as a result of continued improved financial results in Aircraft, Automotive and Finance. Additionally, segment operating income benefited from higher income related to pension benefits, reflecting a higher than expected return on plan assets and revised actuarial estimates. Income from continuing operations in 2000 of $158 million was up 8% from $146 million in 1999. Revenues increased 16% to $3.1 billion in 2000 from $2.7 billion in 1999.

16.

On October 19 2000, Textron announced that the Company is currently developing a plan for cost improvement activities through a restructuring. The plan is expected to result in closing and consolidating a number of manufacturing facilities, primarily within its Industrial segment.

Textron expects to finalize the restructuring plan in the fourth quarter and incur non-recurring charges over the next four to five quarters as actions are implemented. Textron estimates these charges, exclusive of any associated goodwill write-downs and before the effects of taxes will be about $200 million in aggregate.

The Aircraft segment's revenues and income increased $198 million (22%) and $36 million (40%) respectively, achieving a 150 basis point improvement in operating margin.

The Automotive segment's revenues increased $7 million (1%), while income increased $5 million (13%) and operating margin increased 70 basis points. Revenues increased due to the contribution from the Plascar acquisition and increased sales volume at Kautex. The higher revenues were partially offset by lower DaimlerChrysler volume at Trim, customer price reductions and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange at Kautex's European operations. Income increased due primarily to the higher sales and improved operating performance at Trim, which was partially offset by the negative impact of higher petroleum-based resin prices and engineering and design expense.

The Industrial segment's revenues increased $158 million (15%) while income decreased $2 million (2%).

17.

Components and Power Transmission Products. Income decreased in Industrial Products primarily as a result of a loss during the third quarter 2000 at OmniQuip and a gain on the sale of a product line in the third quarter 1999, which was partially offset by the benefit from other acquisitions and higher income related to pension benefits.

The Finance segment's revenues increased $62 million (51%) due to a higher level of average receivables, reflecting a balance of both acquisitive and organic growth, a higher interest rate environment, and higher syndication and securitization income. Income increased $11 million (29%) as the benefit of the higher revenues was partially offset by higher expenses related to growth in managed receivables and a higher provision for loan losses related to the growth in receivables. Net interest margin was lower primarily due to competitive pricing pressures.

Corporate expenses and other-net decreased $3 million due primarily to higher income related to pension benefits.

Interest income and expense - net for Textron manufacturing increased $35 million from the third quarter 1999, due to the re-leveraging that occurred following the divestiture of Avco Financial Services (AFS). Interest expense increased $31 million due to a higher level of average debt as a result of acquisitions and share repurchases. In 1999, Textron realized interest income of $4 million as a result of its net investment position.

Income taxes - the current quarter's effective income tax rate of 36.2% was lower than the corresponding prior year rate of 37.2%, due primarily to the benefit of tax planning initiatives that are being realized in 2000.

Results of Operations - Nine months ended September 30, 2000 vs. Nine months ended October 2, 1999

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2000 were $3.37 per share, up 15% from the 1999 amount of $2.93. Segment operating income in 2000 of $1.041 billion increased 21% from $860 million in 1999, as a result of continued improved financial results across all segments. Additionally, segment operating income benefited from higher income related to pension benefits, reflecting a higher than expected return on plan assets and revised actuarial estimates. Income from continuing operations in 2000 of $495 million was up 9% from $453 million in 1999. Revenues increased 15% to $9.6 billion in 2000 from $8.3 billion in 1999.

As previously disclosed in the 1999 Annual Report of the Company, Textron implemented the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus on Issue 99-5 "Accounting for Pre-Production Costs Related to Long Term Supply Arrangements." As a result of this, in the first quarter 2000, Textron reported a Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle charge of $59 million (net of tax) related to the adoption of this consensus. The effect of this change in accounting on future results will not have a significant impact on income from continuing operations in the affected segments, principally Automotive.

Textron completed the sale of AFS to Associates First Capital Corporation for $3.9 billion in cash on January 6, 1999 and a gain of $1.62 billion on the sale of AFS was recorded in the first quarter 1999. Textron also recorded an extraordinary loss of $43 million (net of tax) on the early retirement of debt in the first quarter 1999. Net income, (including the cumulative effect (net of tax) of change in accounting principle in 2000) was $436 million as compared to 1999 net income of $2.025 billion, which included the gain on the sale of AFS and the extraordinary loss.

18.

The Aircraft segment's revenues and income increased $347 million (13%) and $79 million (34%), respectively, achieving a 160 basis point improvement in operating margin.

The Automotive segment's revenues increased $141 million (7%), while income increased $36 million (22%) and operating margin increased 110 basis points. The increase in revenues was driven by higher sales at Trim, due to the new GM Malibu cockpit program and the benefit of the Plascar acquisition and the Textron Breed Automotive S.r.l. joint venture, and increased sales volume at Kautex. The higher revenues were partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange at Kautex's European operations, lower DaimlerChrysler volume at Trim and customer price reductions. Income increased due to the contribution from the higher revenues and improved operating performance at Trim and Kautex.

The Industrial segment's revenues and income increased $576 million (18%), and $26 million (7%), respectively.

Division. This increase in income was partially offset by a gain on the sale of a product line in the third quarter 1999.

The Finance segment's revenues increased $184 million (57%) due to a higher level of average receivables, reflecting a balance of both acquisitive and organic growth, a higher interest rate environment, and higher syndication and securitization income. Income increased $40 million (43%) as the benefit of the higher revenues was partially offset by higher expenses related to growth in managed receivables and a higher provision for loan losses related to the growth in receivables. Net interest margin was also adversely impacted by a delay in re-pricing short-term loans as a result of increases in the prime rate.

Corporate expenses and other - net increased $11 million due primarily to the impact of organizational changes in the first quarter and costs associated with strategic and e-business initiatives in the first nine months, partially offset by higher income related to pension benefits.

Interest income and expense - net for Textron manufacturing increased $115 million from the first nine months of 1999, due to the re-leveraging that occurred following the divestiture of AFS. Interest expense increased $89 million due to a higher level of average debt as a result of acquisitions and share repurchases. In 1999, Textron realized interest income of $26 million as a result of its net investment position.

Income taxes - the effective income tax rate of 36.1% for the first nine months of 2000 was lower than the corresponding prior year rate of 37.1%, due primarily to the benefit of tax planning initiatives that are being realized in 2000.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS 137, which deferred the effective date of SFAS 133 to all fiscal quarters of years beginning after June 15, 2000. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS 138 which addressed issues causing implementation difficulties with SFAS 133 and also amended the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS 133 for certain derivative instruments and hedging activities. Textron is performing a comprehensive review of its derivative instruments and is considering the potential effect of applying the SFAS 133 criteria to these instruments. Textron has not yet finalized this evaluation of derivatives and as such has not determined whether these Statements will have an impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," which summarizes the staff's views regarding the application of generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. In June 2000, the SEC issued SAB 101B which delayed the implementation date of SAB 101 until no later than the fourth quarter of 2000. Based upon Textron's current assessment, the adoption of this SAB will not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

In July 2000, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principle versus Net as an Agent". The consensus provides guidance as to whether a company should

recognize revenue based on (a) the gross amount billed to the customer because it has earned revenue from the sale of the goods or services or (b) the net amount retained because it has earned a commission. This consensus is effective for the fourth quarter of 2000. Textron is in the process of determining the effects that Issue No. 99-19 will have on the statement of income.

In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities - a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125". SFAS 140 revises criteria for accounting for securitizations, other financial-asset and collateral transfers and extinguishments of liabilities. SFAS 140 also introduces new disclosure requirements related to securitizations, collateral and retained interests in securitized financial assets. The provisions for accounting for collateral by secured parties and the new disclosure requirements are effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The provisions of SFAS 140 related to the transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities are effective for transactions occurring after March 31, 2001. Textron is evaluating the potential impact of adopting SFAS 140 on its consolidated financial statements.
