PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS OF TEXTRON

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We are a global multi-industry company with operations in five business
segments - Aircraft, Fastening Systems, Industrial Components, Industrial
Products and Finance. Our business segments include operations that are
unincorporated divisions of Textron Inc. or its subsidiaries and others that are
separately incorporated subsidiaries.

AIRCRAFT SEGMENT

Bell Helicopter

Bell is one of the largest suppliers of helicopters, tiltrotors, spare
parts and helicopter-related services in the world. Bell manufactures military
and commercial helicopters and military tiltrotors. A commercial tiltrotor model
is also in development. Bell's revenues accounted for approximately 15%, 13% and
12% of our total revenues in 2002, 2001 and 2000.

Bell supplies advanced military helicopters and support (including
spare parts, support equipment, technical data, trainers, pilots and maintenance
training, component repairs, aircraft modifications, contractor maintenance and
field and product support engineering services) to the U.S. Government and to
military customers outside the U.S. Bell is one of the leading suppliers of
helicopters to the U.S. Government and, in association with The Boeing Company,
the only supplier of tiltrotors. Bell makes military sales to non-U.S. customers
only with the concurrence of the U.S. State Department.

Bell is teamed with The Boeing Company to develop, produce and provide
life cycle support for the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft for the U.S.
Department of Defense. Tiltrotor aircraft are designed to provide the benefits
of both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. In December 2001, the Department of
Defense signed an Acquisition Decision Memorandum allowing the V-22 program to
proceed at low-rate production levels and requiring additional flight testing.
In May 2002, the V-22 returned to flight as part of this test program. In August
2002, Bell was awarded a modification to its contract for the next two lots,
totaling twenty aircraft.

Bell is engaged in the engineering and manufacturing development stage
of the H-1 upgrade program for the U.S. Marine Corps. This program will produce
an advanced attack and a

2



utility model helicopter, the AH-1Z and UH-1Y, which are uniquely designed to
have 84% parts commonality.

Bell is also a leading supplier of commercially certified helicopters
to corporate, offshore, utility, charter, police, fire, rescue and emergency
medical helicopter operators.

Bell is a member of Bell/Agusta Aerospace Company, L.L.C., a joint
venture with Agusta, Italy's leading helicopter manufacturer, for the design,
manufacture, sale and customer support of a commercial tiltrotor, the BA609, and
a new medium twin-engine helicopter, the AB139. BA609 development is progressing
with ground run testing having commenced in December 2002. AB139 certification
is expected in late 2003 or early 2004 with deliveries beginning immediately
thereafter. The AB139 was recommended by Integrated Coast Guard Systems to be
the new helicopter solution for the U.S. Coast Guard's Deepwater Program.

In the light and medium helicopter market segments, Bell has two major
U.S. competitors and one major European competitor. Bell markets its products
around the world through its own sales force and through independent
representatives. Price, financing terms, aircraft performance, reliability and
product support are significant factors in the sale of helicopters. Bell has
developed the world's largest distribution system to sell and support
helicopters, serving customers in over 100 countries.

Cessna Aircraft Company

Based on unit sales, Cessna is the world's largest manufacturer of
general aviation aircraft. Cessna currently has four major product lines:
Citation business jets, single engine turboprop Caravans, Cessna single engine
piston aircraft and after-market services. Cessna's revenues accounted for
approximately 31%, 26% and 23% of our total revenues in 2002, 2001 and 2000.

The family of business jets currently produced by Cessna includes the
Citation CJ1, Citation CJ2, Citation Bravo, Citation Encore, Citation Excel, and
Citation X. The Citation X is the world's fastest business jet with a maximum
operating speed of Mach .92. By the end of 2002, Cessna had delivered its
3,868th business jet. Under development are the mid-size Citation Sovereign, the
light-size Citation CJ3 and entry-level Citation Mustang. First customer
deliveries of the Citation Sovereign and Citation CJ3 are scheduled in early and
late 2004, respectively. First customer deliveries of the Citation Mustang are
anticipated in the fourth quarter 2006.

3



The Cessna Caravan is the world's best selling utility turboprop. More
than 1,356 Caravans have been sold by Cessna since the first Caravan was
delivered in 1985. Caravans are offered in four models: the Grand Caravan, the
Super Cargomaster, the Caravan Floatplane and the Caravan 675. Caravans are used
in the U.S. primarily to carry overnight express package shipments.
International uses of Caravans include humanitarian flights, tourism and
freight.

Cessna now has six models in its single engine piston product line: the
four-place 172 Skyhawk, 172 Skyhawk SP, 182 Skylane and Turbo 182 Skylane, and
the six-place 206 Stationair and T206 Turbo Stationair. By the end of 2002,
Cessna had delivered 4,327 single engine piston aircraft since deliveries were
restarted in 1997.

Reliability and product support are significant factors in the sale of
these aircraft. The Citation family of aircraft is supported by 11 Citation
Service Centers owned and operated by Cessna, along with authorized independent
service stations and centers in more than 16 countries throughout the world. The
Cessna-owned Service Centers provide customers 24 hour a day service and
maintenance. Cessna Caravan and single engine piston customers receive product
support through independently owned service stations and 24 hour a day spare
parts support through Cessna.

Cessna markets its products worldwide primarily through its own sales
force, as well as through a network of authorized independent sales
representatives, depending upon the product line. Cessna has several competitors
in the business jet market. Cessna's aircraft compete with other aircraft that
vary in size, speed, range, capacity, handling characteristics, and price.

Cessna engages in the business jet fractional ownership market through
a joint venture with TAG Aviation S.A., a worldwide aircraft management and
charter enterprise. This program, called CitationShares, offers shares of
Citation aircraft primarily in the eastern United States.

Cessna's results include the Lycoming engine business. Lycoming is the
world leader in the design, manufacture and overhaul of reciprocating piston
aircraft engines for the global general aviation market. Lycoming has delivered
more than 300,000 horizontally opposed engines. Lycoming sells new products
directly to general aviation airframe manufacturers, including The New Piper
Aircraft, Robinson Helicopter, and EADS SOCATA, a division of Aerospatiale.
Lycoming is also the exclusive supplier of engines for Cessna's product line of
new single engine aircraft. Aftermarket sales are made to the more than 180,000
existing owners of Lycoming products through a worldwide network of
independently owned distributors.

FASTENING SYSTEMS SEGMENT

Our Fastening Systems segment, Textron Fastening Systems (TFS),
manufactures and sells fasteners, fastening systems, engineered assemblies and
automation equipment to the aerospace, automotive, business equipment,
construction, consumer goods, electronics, electrical equipment, industrial
equipment, medical, non-automotive transportation, and telecommunications
markets. Some of our TFS operations are unincorporated divisions of Textron Inc.
or its subsidiaries and others are separately incorporated subsidiaries. TFS
also has non-controlling ownership interests in three other companies. TFS is
headquartered in Troy, Michigan, and has facilities located in the following 18
countries: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong
Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, the U.K.
and the U.S.

TFS is a major global supplier and distributor of engineered fasteners,
components and services to original equipment manufacturers, contract producers,
component manufacturers and distributors. TFS provides products, services and
solutions that simplify manufacturing processes and maximize efficiencies
resulting in lower total system costs to the customer. Revenues of TFS accounted
for approximately 16%, 14% and 15% of our total revenues in 2002, 2001 and 2000.

TFS produces engineered threaded fasteners, blind fastening
installation tools, aerospace fasteners, construction fasteners and tooling,
cold formed components, clips, cage nuts, engineered and laser weld assemblies,
metal stampings, blind fastening systems, and precision fine blanked products.
These products are produced and sold under a variety of brand names including
Avdel, Boesner, BSK, Camcar, Cherry, Elco, Ring Screw, Sukosim, Valmex and VBF.
TFS also provides its customers with supply chain management services through
global vendor managed inventory programs, plant provider programs, warehouse and
JIT (just-in-time) programs, and sourcing. TFS offers a wide range of design and
engineering services to its customers, and derives a portion of its revenue from
licensing selected intellectual property assets to third parties.

Although TFS is one of the world's largest providers of fastener
products, engineered assemblies and services, TFS has hundreds of competitors,
ranging from small proprietorships to large multi-national companies.
Competition is based primarily on price, quality, reputation and delivery. In
addition, larger customers of fastening systems and engineered assemblies tend
to procure products and services from the larger suppliers, except for "niche"
products that may be sourced from smaller companies. Only the loss of a customer
that is a major original equipment

5



manufacturer would have a material adverse effect on TFS. However, because of
the broad range of products sold to such customers, it is unlikely that these
customers will cease all purchases from TFS.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS SEGMENT

FINANCE SEGMENT

Our Finance segment consists of Textron Financial Corporation and its
subsidiaries. Textron Financial Corporation is a diversified commercial finance
company with core operations in six segments:

- - Aircraft Finance provides financing for new and used Cessna business jets
and piston-engine airplanes, Bell helicopters, and other general aviation
aircraft;

- - Resort Finance extends loans to developers of vacation interval resorts and
recreational and residential land lots, secured primarily by notes
receivable and interval and land lot inventory;

- - Distribution Finance offers inventory finance programs for dealers of
Textron manufactured products and for dealers of a variety of other
household, housing, leisure, agricultural and technology products;

- - Golf Finance makes mortgage loans for the acquisition and refinancing of
golf courses and provides term financing for E-Z-GO Golf Cars and Textron
Turf Care equipment;

- - Asset-Based Lending pursues two types of lending secured primarily by
accounts receivable and inventory: general purpose asset-based lending,
which provides asset-based loans to smaller middle-market companies that
manufacture or distribute finished goods, and specialty asset-based
lending, which factors freight bills and utility service receivables, and
extends asset-based loans to small niche-oriented finance companies; and

9



- - Structured Capital engages in tax-oriented, long-term leases of
large-ticket equipment and real estate, primarily with investment grade
lessees.

Textron Financial Corporation's other financial services and products
include transaction syndication, equipment appraisal and disposition, and
portfolio servicing. Some of these ancillary services are offered through Asset
Control LLC and TBS Business Services, Inc.

Textron Financial Corporation's financing activities are confined
almost exclusively to secured lending and leasing to commercial markets. Textron
Financial Corporation's services are offered primarily in North America.
However, Textron Financial Corporation does finance Textron products worldwide,
principally Bell helicopters and Cessna aircraft. Of the $1.2 billion of
Textron's sales that were financed by Textron Financial Corporation in 2002,
$104 million were operating leases.

Textron Financial Corporation's nonperforming assets include nonaccrual
finance receivables and repossessed assets with the exception of certain finance
receivables for which Textron Financial Corporation has recourse to Textron.
While Textron Financial Corporation does not classify these accounts as
nonperforming assets, these accounts are evaluated for collectibility, and any
allowance for loan losses deemed necessary is established at the manufacturing
level. During 2002, nonperforming assets increased $84 million to 3.33% ($218
million) of finance assets from 2.13% ($134 million) at December 29, 2001. The
significant components of this increase include $35 million in resort finance,
$21 million in aircraft finance, $17 million in media finance and $12 million in
franchise finance. Textron Financial Corporation estimates that nonperforming
assets will generally be in the range of 2% to 4% of finance assets depending on
economic conditions. Textron Financial Corporation expects modest improvements
in portfolio quality as it liquidates certain portfolios. However, a prolonged
economic downturn could have a negative effect on the overall portfolio quality.
The allowance for losses on receivables as a percentage of nonaccrual finance
receivables was 92% at December 28, 2002, compared to 126% at December 29, 2001.
The decrease in the percentage represents an increase in nonaccrual finance
receivables at December 28, 2002, supported by strong collateral.

The commercial finance businesses in which Textron Financial
Corporation operates are highly fragmented and extremely competitive. Textron
Financial Corporation is subject to competition from various types of financing
institutions, including banks, leasing companies, insurance companies,
commercial finance companies and finance operations of equipment

10



vendors. Competition within the commercial finance industry is primarily focused
on price, terms, structure and service.

BACKLOG

Information regarding our backlog of government and commercial orders
at the end of the past two fiscal years is contained on page 33 of our 2002
Annual Report to Shareholders. This page is incorporated by reference into this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Approximately 55% of our total backlog of $7.7 billion at December 28,
2002, represents orders which are not expected to be filled within our 2003
fiscal year. At December 28, 2002, approximately 95% of the total government
backlog of $1.6 billion was funded.

U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

In 2002, 18% of the revenues of our Aircraft segment and 24% of the
revenues of our Industrial Products segment, constituting in the aggregate 13%
of our consolidated revenues, were generated by or resulted from contracts with
the U.S. 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.

Our contracts with the U.S. Government generally may be terminated in
whole or in part at the convenience of the U.S. Government or if we are in
default. If, the U.S. Government terminates a contract for convenience, we
normally will be entitled to payment for unreimbursed costs of performance under
the contract plus profit on those costs, adjusted to reflect any rate of loss
had the contract been completed, plus termination costs. If, however, the U.S.
Government terminates a contract for default, generally: (a) we will be paid an
agreed-upon amount for manufacturing materials and partially completed products
accepted by the U.S. Government; (b) the U.S. Government will not be liable for
our costs with respect to unaccepted items and will be entitled to repayment of
advance payments and progress payments related to the terminated portions of the
contract; and (c) we might be liable for excess costs incurred by the U.S.
Government in procuring undelivered items from another source.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Information regarding our research and development expenditures is
contained on page 66 of our 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders. This page is
incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

11



PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

We own, or are licensed under, numerous patents throughout the world
relating to products, services and methods of manufacturing. Patents 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 our opinion,
materially affect the conduct of our business.

We also own trademarks, trade names and service marks that are
important to our business. Some of these trademarks, trade names and service
marks are used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K: AB139; Avdel; BA609; Bell

trademarks, trade names or service marks of Textron Inc., its subsidiaries,
affiliates, or joint ventures.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

Our operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to
protect the environment. Compliance with these laws and expenditures for
environmental control facilities have not had a material effect on our capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Additional information regarding
environmental matters is contained on page 33 of our 2002 Annual Report to
Shareholders. This page is incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

At December 28, 2002, we operated a total of 142 plants located
throughout the U.S. and 103 plants outside the U.S. Of the total of 245 plants,
we owned 121 and the balance were leased. In the aggregate, the total
manufacturing space was approximately 31 million square feet.

13



In addition, we own or lease offices, warehouse and other space at
various locations throughout the U.S. and outside the U.S. We consider the
productive capacity of the plants operated by each of our business segments to
be adequate. In general, our facilities 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 April 26, 2002, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District
Court in Rhode Island on behalf of Joel Rosen, who claims to be a Textron
shareholder, suing on his own behalf and on behalf of a purported class of
Textron shareholders. The defendants are Textron and certain present and former
officers of Textron and Bell Helicopter. The lawsuit alleged that the defendants
violated the federal securities laws by making material misrepresentations or
omissions between October 19, 2000, and September 26, 2001, in connection with
Bell Helicopter's V-22 and H-1 programs. The complaint sought unspecified
compensatory damages. An identical complaint was subsequently filed by another
Textron shareholder. On September 26, 2002, the Court consolidated the two cases
and appointed as lead plaintiff three affiliated pension funds for International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 710 (referred to as "Local 710 Pension Fund.") A
consolidated amended complaint was filed on December 13, 2002. The amended
complaint is substantially similar to the original complaint, alleging that the
defendants failed to make certain accounting adjustments in response to alleged
problems with Bell Helicopter's V-22 and H-1 programs; in addition, plaintiffs
allege that the company failed to timely write down certain assets of its
OmniQuip unit. The amended complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
Textron believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend it
vigorously.

On July 26, 2002, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the
United States District Court in Rhode Island by Linda Lalande, who claims to
have been a participant in the Textron Savings Plan between January 1, 2000 and
December 31, 2001. The complaint named Textron, the Textron Savings Plan and the
Plan's trustee as defendants. The complaint alleged breach of certain fiduciary
duties under ERISA, based on the amount of Plan assets invested in Textron stock
during 2000 and 2001. An identical lawsuit was subsequently filed by another
individual who also alleged that she has participated in a Textron savings plan
during the applicable period. On December 27, 2002, a consolidated amended
complaint was filed that is substantively the same as the earlier filed
complaints. The amended complaint seeks equitable relief and compensatory
damages on behalf of various Textron benefit plans and the participants and
beneficiaries of those plans during 2000 and 2001, to compensate for alleged
losses relating to

14



Textron stock held as an asset of those plans. Textron believes this lawsuit is
without merit and intends to defend it vigorously.

We are subject to actual and threatened legal proceedings arising out
of the conduct of our business. These proceedings include claims arising from
private transactions, government contracts, product liability, employment 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 our suspension or
debarment from U.S. Government contracting for a period of time. On the basis of
information presently available, we believe that these legal proceedings will
not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
