Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On August 13, 2004, ITT Industries, Inc. completed its previously announced
acquisition  of certain  assets,  properties  and rights  used in Eastman  Kodak
Company's Remote Sensing Systems business (the "RSS Business"), including all of
the  issued  and  outstanding  capital  stock  of  Research  Systems,   Inc.,  a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Eastman Kodak Company.

     The  consideration  that ITT  Industries,  Inc.  paid for the stock and the
assets was $725  million  in cash plus the  assumption  of  certain  liabilities
relating  to the  RSS  Business.  The  purchase  price  was  determined  through
arms-length negotiations between ITT Industries, Inc. and Eastman Kodak Company.
ITT  Industries,  Inc.  financed the  acquisition  with proceeds from commercial
paper issued under its existing commercial paper program.

     Eastman Kodak Company used the assets of the RSS Business (including plant,
equipment or other physical property) to design,  manufacture,  sell and support
high resolution electro-optical end-to-end systems for space-based, airborne and
terrestrial  applications  supporting  United  States  government  intelligence,
military  and  scientific   applications  and  for  commercial   remote  sensing
businesses.  The  assets  held  by  Research  Systems,  Inc.  (including  plant,
equipment or other physical  property)  were used to design and market  software
for data analysis and  visualization.  ITT Industries,  Inc. intends to continue
using the assets for the same purposes following the acquisition.

     The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Stock and Asset Purchase  Agreement  attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1,
which is incorporated by reference.

     On August 13, 2004, ITT Industries,  Inc. issued a press release announcing
the  completion  of the  acquisition.  The press  release is attached  hereto as
Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
