                          REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


The Benefits Committee
Paul Revere Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Paul Revere Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year ended  December 31, 1995 and the period from July 1, 1994 (inception)
through December 31, 1994.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan'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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the period from July 1, 1994
(inception) through December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental schedules
of assets held for investment as of December 31, 1995, and transactions or
series of transactions in excess of 5% of the current value of plan assets at
the beginning of the year, for the year ended December 31, 1995 are presented
for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations
for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.  The
Fund Information in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available
for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund.  The
supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                            PAUL REVERE SAVINGS PLAN

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

Paul Revere Savings Plan (the "Plan") is an employee stock ownership plan.  
For a description of the Plan, refer to the Summary Plan Description that is 
on file with the Department of Labor and available at the Human Resources 
office of The Paul Revere Corporation ("Paul Revere").

INVESTMENT OPTIONS

The Plan is administered under the terms of a trust agreement, dated July 1, 
1994, with Bankers Trust Company (the "Trustee").  Participation in the Plan 
is voluntary; however, 50% of employee contributions are required to be 
invested in Fund A.  Paul Revere contributes fifty cents for every dollar 
contributed by Plan participants up to a maximum 5% of the participant's 
annual compensation. All Paul Revere contributions are required to be 
invested in Fund A.

FUND A is invested entirely in Paul Revere Common Stock that is either 
purchased by the Trustee or contributed by Paul Revere.  The investment 
objective of Fund A is long-term growth of capital.

FUND B (the "Indexed Equity Fund") is invested in the Trustee's Indexed 
Equity Fund, which is a portfolio of common stocks constructed with the 
objective of providing investment results that approximate the overall 
performance of the common stocks included in the Standard & Poors Corporate 
Index of 500 stocks.

FUND C (the "Fixed Income Fund") may be invested in bonds, notes, debentures, 
insurance contracts, short-term securities, money market instruments and 
other fixed income instruments.  The investment objective of Fund C is to 
preserve the principal amounts invested in the Fixed Income Fund and to 
provide a relatively stable rate of interest.

FUND D is invested solely in Textron Inc. ("Textron") common stock purchased 
by the Trustee regularly on the open market or acquired by other means, 
including the exercise of conversion rights and private purchases of shares, 
purchases of treasury shares or previously authorized but unissued shares 
from Textron.  The investment objective of Fund D is long term capital growth.

The above mentioned funds are invested in their respective type of security 
except during an administrative period when, at the discretion of the 
Trustee, amounts may be invested in short-term securities (Bankers Trust 
Company BT Pyramid Account Cash Fund and BT Pyramid Discretionary Account 
Cash Fund) or held uninvested.

The approximate number of participants in the Plan at December 31, 1995 and 
1994 were:

                                   1995           1994
                                   -----          -----
               Fund A              1,907          1,964
               Fund B              1,027            972
               Fund C                964            955
               Fund D              1,215          1,149

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


1.  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)

CONTRIBUTIONS

Participants of the Plan are entitled to elect compensation deferrals within 
the limits prescribed by Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the 
"Code"). Contributions from employees and employee compensation deferrals, 
which are matched 50% by Paul Revere, subject to certain ERISA restrictions 
and Plan limits, are recorded when Paul Revere makes payroll deductions from 
participants' wages.  The total of the matching contributions (net of 
employee forfeitures) made by Paul Revere can be limited by the Paul Revere 
Board of Directors.  Participant contributions included rollovers of 
approximately $36,109 in 1995 and $65,493 in 1994.

Paul Revere makes contributions to the Plan based on estimated contribution 
levels.  To the extent actual contributions by the participants differ from 
estimated contributions, a contribution receivable or payable from/to Paul 
Revere will result.  All forfeitures arising out of a participant's 
termination of employment for reasons other than retirement, disability or 
death, are used to reduce future Paul Revere contributions.

A separate account is maintained for each participant and is increased 
monthly by (a) the participant's contributions and compensation deferrals, 
(b) Paul Revere's 50% matching contribution, and (c) the pro rata share of 
income.

While Paul Revere has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it is 
free to do so at any time.  In the event of termination, each participant 
automatically becomes vested to the extent of the balance in his or her 
separate account.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Trustee fees charged to the Plan during 1995 and 1994 under administrative 
expenses were $18,585 and $9,001, respectively.  Plan administrative expenses 
of $101,417 in 1995 and $112,233 in 1994 were borne by Paul Revere.

BENEFITS AND VESTING

In the event a participant ceases to be an employee or becomes totally 
disabled while employed, all of his or her accounts, to the extent vested, 
shall become distributable.  If the participant is deemed disabled by the 
Social Security Administration, he (she) will become 100% vested.  
Distributions of more than forty whole shares of Paul Revere Common Stock or 
Textron Common Stock shall be in the form of Paul Revere Common Stock or 
Textron Common Stock.  Distributions of forty or less whole shares of Paul 
Revere Common Stock or Textron Common Stock shall be in the form of cash 
unless the participant or beneficiary expressly requests Paul Revere Common 
Stock or Textron Common Stock.  All other distributions shall be in the form 
of cash.  An account will be distributed in a single payment if the value of 
the account is less than $3,500 when the account first becomes distributable. 
Current federal law requires Paul Revere to begin to distribute accounts by 
April 1 of the year following the year in which the participant reaches age 
70 1/2.  A participant is always vested in those portions of his or her 
account attributable to his or her own contributions and compensation 
deferrals and to discretionary contributions by Textron.  The Plan provides 
for full vesting of a participant's plan account in the event of his or her 
termination of employment, other than for cause, within two years after a 
change in control of Paul Revere.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


1.  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)


Paul Revere's 50% matching contributions vest based on the length of
participation in the Plan as follows:

                                             Ownership
       Months of Participation               Interest
   ----------------------------------------------------
   24 months but less than 36 months           25%
   36 months but less than 48 months           50%
   48 months but less than 60 months           75%
   60 months or more                          100%


2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Paul Revere and Textron common stocks are valued at the New York Stock 
Exchange closing price on the last business day of the Plan year.  The 
Indexed Equity Fund is valued at the redemption price established by the 
Fund's trustee which is generally based on the fair value of the underlying 
assets.  Insurance contracts are valued at contract value that represents 
contributions made, plus accrued interest, less funds used to pay employee 
withdrawals and administrative expenses. The short-term investments, 
comprised of the BT Pyramid Directed Account Cash Fund and BT Pyramid 
Discretionary Account Cash Fund, include pooled temporary investments and are 
stated at cost which approximates fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.  
Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Investment income is 
recorded as earned on an accrual basis.  Dividends, interest and other 
distributions received by the Plan are reinvested in the Fund in which they 
were earned.

FAIR VALUE OF INSURANCE CONTRACTS

The fair values presented in Note 4 are estimates of the fair values of the 
insurance contracts 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 the Plan could realize or 
settle currently.  The Plan does not necessarily intend to dispose of or 
liquidate such instruments prior to maturity.  See Note 4 for further 
information about fair values of financial instruments.

ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the amounts reported in those statements and accompanying notes.  
Actual results may differ from such estimates.

3.  UNIT VALUATION

Plan equity is reported on a unit valuation basis except for Funds A and D 
which are reported on a per share basis.  Unit values are determined by 
dividing the Plan equity in each Fund by the number of Fund units 
outstanding. 

The number of units outstanding and the values for each unit at December 31, 
1995 and 1994 were:

                                       FUND B
                        --------------------------------------

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (CONTINUED)


4.  INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair 
Value of Financial Instruments" (FAS 107), requires disclosure of fair value 
information about all financial instruments held or owned by a plan except 
for certain excluded instruments and instruments for which it is not 
practicable to estimate fair value.  Note 2 describes the methods and 
assumptions used in determining the fair value of all Plan investments except 
insurance contracts.

The estimated fair value of the Plan's investment in guaranteed insurance 
contracts was determined by discounted cash flow analyses using U.S. Treasury 
bill interest rates with maturities similar to the remaining terms of the 
guaranteed insurance contracts.  The estimated fair value of such contracts 
is approximately $1,196,281 and $389,013 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, 
respectively.  The investments in the guaranteed insurance contracts have a 
crediting interest rate ranging from 5.75% to 7.3% in 1995 and 7.3% in 1994. 
The average percentage yield for 1995 was approximately 6.57%.  In the event 
that withdrawals adversely affect the face value of the contract, an 
adjustment to the market value would be required.  The contracts are 
transferable.

5.  INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan is qualified and the trust established under the Plan is tax-exempt 
under the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code.

7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 29, 1996, Paul Revere and Provident Companies, Inc. ("Provident") 
announced they had signed a definitive merger agreement.  The transaction, 
valued at approximately $1.2 billion, has been approved by boards of 
directors of both companies.  Under the agreement, Paul Revere's shareholders 
may elect to receive a) $26.00 per share in cash; or b) a combination of 
$20.00 in cash and a number of shares of Provident common stock equal to the 
product of $6.00 and the exchange ratio; or c) a number of shares of 
Provident common stock equal to the product of $26.00 and the exchange ratio. 
The exchange ratio is based on the Provident common stock price during a 
defined period prior to closing and is subject to certain maximum and minimum 
share amounts.  Textron, which owns approximately 83% of Paul Revere's 
outstanding common shares, has agreed to support the merger, which, subject 
to shareholder and regulatory approval, is expected to close during the third 
quarter of 1996.
