Registrant will restate its financial results for prior years to correct its
accounting for several reinsurance contracts entered into by a subsidiary of CNA
Financial Corporation, a 91%-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (&#8220;CNA&#8221;),
primarily with a former affiliate of CNA, and CNA&#8217;s equity accounting for that
affiliate. The impact of this revised accounting results in a reduction to
shareholders&#8217; equity as of December 31, 2004 of $27.3 million, or 0.2%, and an
increase in net income attributable to Loews common stock of $1.3 million, or
$0.01 per Loews common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The
principal effects of this restatement for years 2002 - 2004 are as
follows:</FONT></DIV>

restatement is based upon reconsideration of CNA&#8217;s accounting for its former
equity interest in Accord Re Ltd. (&#8220;Accord&#8221;), and for several reinsurance
contracts with Accord, but also includes two reinsurance agreements with
unaffiliated parties that are immaterial in the aggregate. A subsidiary of The
Continental Corporation (&#8220;TCC&#8221;) acquired a 49% ownership interest in Accord, a
Bermuda company, in 1989 upon Accord&#8217;s formation. TCC also provided capital
support to Accord through a guarantee from a TCC subsidiary. TCC was acquired by
CNA in 1995.</FONT></DIV>

previously reported, CNA continues to respond to various subpoenas,
interrogatories and other requests for information received from state and
federal regulatory authorities relating to on-going insurance industry
investigations of non-traditional insurance products, including finite
reinsurance. As also previously reported, CNA agreed to undergo a state
regulatory financial examination of the Continental Casualty Company and its
insurance subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003. Such&nbsp;review includes
examination of&nbsp;certain of the finite reinsurance contracts entered into by
CNA and whether such contracts possess sufficient risk transfer characteristics
necessary to qualify for accounting treatment as reinsurance. In the course of
complying with these requests CNA conducted a comprehensive review of its finite
reinsurance relationships, including contracts with Accord. As a result of that
review management of the Registrant determined to recommend to the Audit
Committee of the Registrant&#8217;s Board of Directors that the adjustments recited
above be made to correct the accounting treatment of CNA&#8217;s reinsurance
agreements with and equity </FONT></DIV><BR>

It is possible that CNA&#8217;s analyses of, or accounting treatment for, other finite

Results
      of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 3,
2005, Registrant issued a press release for Loews Corporation and a separate
press release for the Carolina Group providing information on their results of
operations for the first quarter of 2005. The press releases are furnished as
Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Form 8-K.
Item
      4.02
Non-Reliance
      on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or
      Completed Interim Review
The
Registrant will restate its financial results for prior years to correct its
accounting for several reinsurance contracts entered into by a subsidiary of CNA
Financial Corporation, a 91%-owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("CNA"),
primarily with a former affiliate of CNA, and CNA's equity accounting for that
affiliate. The impact of this revised accounting results in a reduction to
shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2004 of $27.3 million, or 0.2%, and an
increase in net income attributable to Loews common stock of $1.3 million, or
$0.01 per Loews common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The
principal effects of this restatement for years 2002 - 2004 are as
follows:

The
Registrant will file a Form 10-K/A for 2004 reflecting these adjustments and
their impact on disclosures as applicable for years 2002 - 2004. Accordingly,
the Registrant's original financial statements and related independent
registered public accountants' reports thereon for those periods should no
longer be relied upon. The Registrant's periodic report on Form 10-Q for first
quarter 2005 will also reflect the adjustments.
This
restatement is based upon reconsideration of CNA's accounting for its former
equity interest in Accord Re Ltd. ("Accord"), and for several reinsurance
contracts with Accord, but also includes two reinsurance agreements with
unaffiliated parties that are immaterial in the aggregate. A subsidiary of The
Continental Corporation ("TCC") acquired a 49% ownership interest in Accord, a
Bermuda company, in 1989 upon Accord's formation. TCC also provided capital
support to Accord through a guarantee from a TCC subsidiary. TCC was acquired by
CNA in 1995.
Reinsurance
relationships with Accord involved both property and casualty assumed
reinsurance risks that were written by TCC subsidiaries and 100% ceded to Accord
or reinsured from other cedents by Accord. Stop-loss protection in relation to
those risks was obtained by Accord from a wholly owned TCC
subsidiary.
All of
CNA's reinsurance agreements with Accord relating to property risks were
commuted as of year-end 2001, leaving six reinsurance agreements with Accord
relating to casualty risks outstanding at that time. As of March 31, 2005 CNA
provides no capital support to and has no ownership interest in Accord. During
the period of CNA's minority ownership, Accord also maintained reinsurance
relationships with reinsurers unaffiliated with CNA.
As
previously reported, CNA continues to respond to various subpoenas,
interrogatories and other requests for information received from state and
federal regulatory authorities relating to on-going insurance industry
investigations of non-traditional insurance products, including finite
reinsurance. As also previously reported, CNA agreed to undergo a state
regulatory financial examination of the Continental Casualty Company and its
insurance subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003. Such review includes
examination of certain of the finite reinsurance contracts entered into by
CNA and whether such contracts possess sufficient risk transfer characteristics
necessary to qualify for accounting treatment as reinsurance. In the course of
complying with these requests CNA conducted a comprehensive review of its finite
reinsurance relationships, including contracts with Accord. As a result of that
review management of the Registrant determined to recommend to the Audit
Committee of the Registrant's Board of Directors that the adjustments recited
above be made to correct the accounting treatment of CNA's reinsurance
agreements with and equity
2
interest
in Accord. After conferring with management and discussing the matter with
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Registrant's independent registered public
accountants, the Audit Committee adopted that recommendation on April 28, 2005.
It is possible that CNA's analyses of, or accounting treatment for, other finite
reinsurance contracts could be questioned or disputed in the context of the
referenced state regulatory examination, and further restatements of the
Registrant's financial results are possible as a consequence, which could have a
material adverse impact on the Registrant's financial condition.
