ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
At a special meeting of the shareholders of ITT Corporation ("ITT") held on
September 21, 1995, the shareholders approved the proposed distribution (the
"Distribution") to ITT's shareholders of all of the shares of common stock of
ITT Destinations, Inc. ("New ITT") and all of the shares of common stock of ITT
Hartford Group, Inc. ("ITT Hartford"). In connection with the proposals approved
at such special meeting, management of ITT included in the Notice of Special
Meeting and Proxy Statement dated August 30, 1995 (the "Proxy") a forecasted
capitalization table at December 31, 1995 and a summary of the significant
capitalization assumptions for each of ITT Industries, Inc. ("ITT Industries"),
New ITT and ITT Hartford. Such capitalization was based on the forecasted net
operating assets of ITT in the aggregate, which, in the Proxy, were forecasted
to be $15.9 billion at December 31, 1995. Differences in the actual operating
results through September 30, 1995 and in the timing of certain asset sales and
working capital needs, along with other changes, resulted in a change to the
forecasted net operating assets of ITT in the aggregate, to $15.7 billion at
December 31, 1995. In response to these changes, forecasted debt and equity
components of ITT Industries, New ITT and ITT Hartford have been revised.
The information set forth below under the captions "ITT Industries Summary
of Significant Capitalization Forecast Assumptions", "ITT Industries Forecasted
Capitalization", "New ITT Summary of Significant Capitalization Forecast
Assumptions", "New ITT Forecasted Capitalization", "ITT Hartford Summary of
Significant Capitalization Forecast Assumptions" and "ITT Hartford Forecasted
Capitalization" supersedes the information contained in the Proxy under such
captions.
ITT INDUSTRIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT CAPITALIZATION FORECAST ASSUMPTIONS
The following financial forecast of the capitalization of ITT Industries is
based on ITT management's forecasts and assumptions concerning events and
circumstances which are expected to occur subsequent to the latest historical
balance sheet date but prior to and including December 31, 1995 (the approximate
date of the Distribution), including future results of operations and other
events. For purposes of this forecasted capitalization, net income in the last
three months of 1995 is assumed to approximate the same level as the comparable
1994 period. Assumptions with respect to events that will occur between
September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995, include the following:
- The sale of certain non-strategic assets resulting in debt reduction of
approximately $175 million, for which negotiations are in progress.
- The exercise of 2.1 million stock options at an average exercise price of
$70 per share resulting in a reduction of debt and an increase to equity
of approximately $150 million.
- Receipt of a dividend from ITT Hartford of approximately $370 million.
- A reduction in deployed working capital of $175 million and the
utilization of those funds to repay existing short-term borrowings.
- The use of $72 million in cash balances at various subsidiaries of ITT
Industries to repay existing short-term borrowings, primarily in Germany.
- Net capital expenditures totaling $190 million in the last three months
of 1995 ($175 million of net capital expenditures was incurred in the
comparable 1994 period). In addition, a $100 million contribution to New
ITT is anticipated.
In ITT management's judgment, the listed assumptions and forecasts reflect
those material events or transactions expected to occur prior to the
Distribution. There have been no changes in accounting principles anticipated in
this capitalization forecast nor are any such changes currently contemplated.

LIMITATIONS ON PROJECTIONS AND FORECASTS
The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected and forecasted data
and information contained herein are inherently uncertain and, although
considered reasonable by management of ITT, are subject to significant business,
economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of
ITT and its subsidiaries. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the
projected and forecasted financial results will be realized. In fact, actual
results in the future usually will differ from the forecasted financial results
and the differences may be material.
