                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To The Participants and Administrator of the BDM 401(k) Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the BDM 401 (k) Savings Plan (the Plan) at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31,
1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998 and reportable transactions for
the year ended December 31, 1998, are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the statements of net assets
available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present
the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for
benefits of each fund. These supplemental schedules and fund information are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules and fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

As further discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, effective December
31, 1998, the Committee on Employee Benefits of TRW, Inc. voted to merge the
Plan into the TRW Employee Stock Ownership and Savings Plan.

1.   PLAN DESCRIPTION

     The following brief description of the BDM 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan)
     is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should
     refer to the Summary Plan Description for more complete information. On
     December 29, 1997, BDM International, Inc. (the Company or the Employer)
     was acquired by TRW Inc. Effective December 31, 1998, the Plan was merged
     into The TRW Employee Stock Ownership and Savings Plan (the TRW Plan),
     resulting in no remaining assets available for benefits as of December 31,
     1998. The actual transfer of these funds to the TRW Plan funds occurred in
     January 1999.

          GENERAL
          -------

          The Plan, established on August 26, 1985, is a defined contribution
          plan funded by employee and employer contributions and related
          earnings. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
          Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

          ELIGIBILITY AND VESTING
          -----------------------

          Substantially all full-time regular employees of all domestic
          subsidiaries of the Company were eligible to participate in the Plan
          upon the attainment of their twenty-first birthday.

          Prior to certain Plan amendments effective January 1, 1998, described
          below, the Employer contributed twenty-five percent of every dollar
          contributed by the employee, up to the first 4 percent of the
          employee's contribution. Employer contributions vested 100% after the
          employees completed 3 years of service with the Employer.

          ELIGIBILITY AND VESTING, CONTINUED
          ----------------------------------

          Upon termination of service, participants were entitled to receive the
          vested balance of their account. Account balances were distributed to
          participants in lump sum cash payments. Forfeitures of nonvested
          employer contributions were used by the Employer to offset future
          contributions.

          Effective January 1, 1998, the Plan made several changes. Beginning
          January 1, 1998, all eligible regular full-time and regular part-time
          employees received an

                                    ---------


          Employer contribution equal to four percent of eligible compensation
          ("BDM Basic 4"). This contribution was paid quarterly into the
          participants' accounts in the Plan and was invested according to
          participants' investment elections. The BDM Basic 4 vested after five
          years of service and was not available for participant loans.

          In addition, the Employer's matching contribution was increased to a
          100% match for the first 1% of eligible compensation contributed by
          the participants into the Plan. After that, the Employer matched 25%
          of the next 4% of compensation contributed by the participants into
          the Plan. The employer matching contributions were made into the TRW
          Stock Fund, which consists of TRW common stock and cash or other short
          term investments. Other eligibility, termination, forfeiture, and
          vesting provisions did not change.

          LOANS
          -----

          Participants could borrow up to $50,000 from the vested pre-tax
          portion of their account provided that the principal of the loan was
          not less than $500 and did not exceed one-half of the balance of their
          contribution account. Loans to participants issued through August 1,
          1995, bore interest at a rate equal to the prime rate of the Wachovia
          Bank of North Carolina at the inception of the loan. Loans issued
          after that date bore interest at the prime rate of The Bank of New
          York at the inception of the loan. All loans are payable in full not
          more than five years from the loan date for a personal loan and 20
          years from the loan date for a mortgage loan. Loan repayments are made
          in the form of amortizing principal payments which are withheld from
          the participants' semi-monthly payroll. Loans to participants were
          considered assets of the Plan and were valued at cost which
          approximated fair value, since interest rates on outstanding loans
          were not materially different from current market rates.


2.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
          -------------------

          The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
          accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
          principles.

          INVESTMENTS
          -----------

          Through December 31, 1997, the assets of the Plan were deposited with
          the Bank of New York (the Trustee) where they were accumulated and
          invested on behalf of the Plan at the discretion of the employee.
          Effective January 1, 1998, the Plan assets were transferred to a new
          trustee, State Street Global Advisors, with new investment options for
          participants. As a result, the net assets available for benefits
          related to the State Street Global Advisors fund options as of
          December 31, 1997 are reflected as employer and employee contributions
          receivable. The investment options with the Bank of New York were no
          longer available for contributions as of December 31, 1997. As a
          result there were no employer or employee contributions receivable in
          those investment options as of December 31, 1997.

          Investments are carried at fair value. Fair values for debt and equity
          securities are based on quoted market prices. In the absence of
          published values, fair values are determined by the Trustee. The Plan
          presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for
          Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its
          investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the
          unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.
          Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Any
          gain or loss on the sale of securities is based on the average cost of
          investments. The following summarizes the investment options offered
          by the Plan:

               Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund. This fund invests only in
               U.S. government obligations, primarily Treasury bills, and other
               short-term securities backed by the U.S. government. Amounts in
               this fund and all future contributions designated for this fund
               were directed to the Yield Enhanced Short-term Investment Fund.

               Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Fund. This bond fund invests in
               short-term maturity (three-year average) investment grade bonds.
               Amounts in this fund and all future contributions designated for
               this fund were directed to the Daily Bond Market Fund.

               Invesco Total Return Fund. This fund invests in a combination of
               stocks and fixed income securities, generally with a 60% to 40%
               split, respectively.

               Amounts in this fund and all future contributions designated for

               Neuberger and Berman Guardian Trust Fund. This growth and income
               fund invests primarily in the common stock of well established,

               contributions designated for this fund were directed to the
               Matrix Equity Fund.

               Columbia Special Fund. This fund invests primarily in small
               companies whose growth may be more aggressive than the market as
               a whole. In some cases, the fund may invest in special
               situations, such as new issues or companies that may benefit from
               a particular product development or merger. Amounts in this fund
               and all future contributions designated for this fund were
               directed to the Small Capitalization Matrix Fund.

               Templeton Foreign Fund. This fund invests almost entirely in debt
               and equity securities of international companies and governments.
               Almost half of its holdings are in Europe; other regions include
               Australia and the Pacific Rim.

               BDM Stock Fund. This fund consists of common stock of the
               Employer as well as highly liquid short-term investments funds
               used to effect transactions. The fair value is determined on a
               unit basis, based on the fair value of the stock, measured by
               quoted market prices, and other assets held. The BDM stock in
               this fund was liquidated upon the acquisition of BDM
               International, Inc. by TRW Inc. (see Note 1), and all amounts
               were transferred to the Yield Enhanced Short-term Investment Fund
               until alternative investment options are directed by the
               participants.

               TRW Stock Fund. This fund consists of TRW common stock and other
               appropriate short term investments. The fair value is determined
               on a unit basis, based on the fair value of the stock, as
               measured by the quoted market price, determined by the New York
               Stock Exchange.

               Yield Enhanced Short-term Investment (YES) Fund. This fund
               invests in high-quality money market securities and other

               Small Capitalization Matrix Fund. This fund invests primarily in

          PARTICIPANT WITHDRAWALS
          -----------------------

          Employees who have reached the age of retirement or who have
          terminated employment with the Employer could elect to withdraw the
          entire amount of their vested participant account. Withdrawals by
          participants are recorded upon distribution.

          FEDERAL INCOME TAX
          ------------------

          The Internal Revenue Service determined and informed the Company by a
          letter dated July 3, 1996, that the Plan, including all amendments,
          was designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal
          Revenue Code. Management believes that amendments adopted since
          receipt of the determination letter did not effect the tax status of
          the Plan. Accordingly, the Plan is exempt from income taxes.

          PLAN EXPENSES
          -------------

          Administrative expenses were paid by the Plan and allocated to
          participants' accounts based on their respective account balance. The
          Employer provided certain administrative support to the Plan at no
          cost.

          CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
          ----------------------------

          The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
          stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds, and other
          investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various
          risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the
          level of risk associated with certain investment securities it is at
          least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment
          securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could
          materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts
          reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits. The
          Plan had no formal policy requiring collateral to mitigate the
          financial instruments.

          ESTIMATES
          ---------

          The preparation of financial statements requires management and the
          Trustee to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
          amounts of net assets and changes in net assets. Such estimates
          include those regarding fair value. Actual results could differ from
          these estimates.
