PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS OF TEXTRON*

Textron is a multi-industry company which at the end of 1993 re-
aligned its operations into six segments in two business sectors - Manufactur-
ing and Financial Services. The Manufacturing sector consists of four busi-
ness segments - Aircraft, Automotive, Industrial, and Systems and Components.
The business segments of the Financial Services sector are Finance and Paul
Revere. Information concerning each sector and the Divisions within each sec-
tor is set forth or referred to below.

Textron's focus on selected businesses and markets is intended to
achieve balanced diversification in order to afford protection against economic
cycles and to provide a means to concentrate on growth opportunities and tech-
nologies in these businesses.

Each Textron Division conducts its business under its own name with
its own organization. Each Division's management has direct responsibility for
its own operations, and for achieving its business plan as accepted after re-
view with Textron's management. Centralized coordination and control to assure
overall standards and performance are provided by Textron's executive staff
from its corporate office at 40 Westminster Street, Providence, Rhode
Island 02903; its telephone number is (401) 421-2800.
____________________

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

3

Financial information by business segment and geographic area is
incorporated herein by reference to pages 33, 59 and 60 of Textron's 1993
Annual Report to Shareholders.

MANUFACTURING

Information regarding the Manufacturing sector is contained on pages 2, 3,
7 through 19, 24, 25, 34 through 36, 45, 46 and 67 through 69 of Textron's 1993
Annual Report to Shareholders, which pages are incorporated herein by reference.

The Aircraft segment consists of Bell Helicopter and Cessna. Bell
Helicopter is among the largest domestic manufacturers of light and medium
helicopters for military and civil uses, although certain of its competitors
are substantially larger and more diversified aircraft manufacturers. In the
light and medium helicopter market, Bell Helicopter has two major U.S.
competitors and one major European competitor. Bell Helicopter markets its
products worldwide through its own sales force as well as through independent
representatives. Price, financing terms, aircraft performance and product
support are significant factors in the sale of helicopters. Revenues of Bell
Helicopter accounted for approximately 13%, 11% and 16% of Textron's total
revenues in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

Cessna is the world's largest designer and manufacturer of light and
mid-sized business jets and single-engined utility turboprop aircraft.
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.

The Divisions of the Automotive segment supply products primarily to
automotive original equipment manufacturers. Products are marketed through the
sales force of each Division. In general, these Divisions operate in markets

4

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 1993, Textron's Townsend Division was merged
into the Camcar Division.

Textron Lycoming Turbine Engine, the major line of business in the Systems
and Components segment, is a supplier of propulsion systems and related
products, with six major competitors in the gas turbine engine market. These
competitors are based in the United States, Canada and Europe. Several of its
competitors are substantially larger than Textron Lycoming Turbine Engine. 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. The Cadillac Gage Combat Vehicle Operations and the Cadillac
Gage Control Systems Operations are being transferred to the Textron Marine
and Land Systems Division and the HR Textron Division, respectively.

FINANCIAL SERVICES

Information regarding the Financial Services sector is contained on pages
3, 7, 20 through 22, 31, 32, 36, 37, 46, 63, 64 and 70 of Textron's 1993 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.

5

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 15%, 16% and 17% of Textron's
total revenues in 1993, 1992 and 1991, 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 33 of Textron's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders, which page is
incorporated herein by reference.

Approximately 47% of Textron's total backlog at January 1, 1994 represents
orders which are not expected to be filled within the 1994 fiscal year. Approx-
imately 76% of the total backlog is funded.


GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

In 1993, 23% and 43% of the revenues of the Aircraft and Systems and Compo-
nents segments, respectively, were generated by or resulted from contracts

6

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 con-
tracts, including some which are fixed-price incentive development contracts.
Contracts which contain incentive pricing terms provide for upward or downward
adjustments in the prices paid by the U.S. Government thereunder upon comple-
tion 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 and an allowance for profit (up to a maximum equal to the con-
tract price) 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 contrac-
tor's costs with respect to unaccepted items and is entitled to repayment of
advance payments and progress payments, if any, related to the terminated por-
tions 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 34 through 36 of Textron's 1993 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 45 and 53 of Textron's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders,
which pages are incorporated herein by reference.

7

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. Pat-
ents 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.

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 expendi-
tures, earnings or the competitive position of Textron. Additional information
regarding environmental matters is contained on pages 30, 45 and 59 of
Textron's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders, which pages are incorporated
herein by reference.

EMPLOYEES

At January 1, 1994, Textron had approximately 56,000 employees.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

At January 1, 1994, Textron operated a total of 146 plants located through-
out the United States and 6 plants outside the United States. Of the total of
152 plants, Textron owned 112 and the balance was leased. In the aggregate,
the total manufacturing space was approximately 27 million square feet.

8

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.

A material portion of the plant, machinery and equipment used by Textron
Lycoming Turbine Engine at Stratford, Connecticut, is owned by the U.S. Govern-
ment and is provided pursuant to facilities contracts which authorize the Divi-
sion to use it without charge in the performance of government contracts. In
addition, use is permitted under certain limited circumstances in the perfor-
mance of commercial work if governmental approval is obtained and appropriate
rentals are paid to the government. These facilities contracts are terminable
by the U.S. Government at any time, but Textron does not anticipate that any
such termination will occur so long as the facilities are required in the per-
formance of material U.S. Government contracts, or that it will be prevented
from using the facilities for commercial work so long as all governmental re-
quirements are met.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In early 1989, Textron acquired Avdel plc, a fastening systems manufactur-
ing business based in England, the total cost of which approximated $250 mil-
lion. In February 1989, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") challenged
the acquisition under antitrust law. On October 28, 1993, the FTC conditional-
ly approved Textron's offer to settle the matter by licensing a new competitor
for Avdel's MONOBOLT non-aerospace blind rivet and selling the licensee cer-
tain manufacturing equipment of Avdel's U.S. operation. The settlement and
approval of the license/divestiture are expected to become effective in 1994.
Until the settlement becomes effective, Textron is precluded from consolidating
in its financial statements the results of operations of Avdel and is therefore
carrying its investment in Avdel at cost.

9

Since 1979, Textron has been engaged in arbitration in Switzerland with
the Government of Iran concerning conflicting claims and counterclaims arising
out of a 1975 helicopter coproduction agreement between its Bell Helicopter
Division and the Government of Iran. The contract was terminated in 1978 and
the arbitration started in 1979. Bell Helicopter and the Government of Iran
are currently engaged in settlement discussions. In the opinion of management
any costs incurred by Bell associated with the arbitration in excess of amounts
previously reserved will not be material to Textron's net income or financial
condition.

On October 5, 1993, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency ("Ohio EPA")
issued a proposed consent order concerning compliance issues related to air
emissions from Textron's Randall Division plant in Wilmington, Ohio. The Ohio
EPA is seeking a civil penalty of $579,000. Textron is negotiating with the
Ohio EPA to resolve the matter.

In addition, there are pending or threatened against Textron and its sub-
sidiaries 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
liability for the suits and proceedings mentioned above, or the impact of the
application of relevant government regulations, would not have a material ef-
fect on Textron's net income or financial condition.

SCHEDULE III - CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT

For each of the three years in the period ended January 1, 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 61-62 of Textron's
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 under the caption "Investments in finance and insurance
subsidiaries."

The Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group received dividends of $93.5
million, $78.4 million and $78.2 million from its finance and insurance
subsidiaries in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. The portion 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 January 1, 1994, approximately $311 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.

For information concerning the Textron Parent Company Borrowing Group's
long-term debt and restrictions contained in its debt agreements, see Note 8 to
the consolidated financial statements appearing on pages 50-51 of Textron's
1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.
