Item 5.  Other Events.


         In its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, TRW has
reported results of operations by seven segments. TRW previously reported its
financial results for the first and second quarters of 1999 by two business
segments: (1) Automotive and (2) Aerospace & Information Systems. TRW's
automotive business is now reported in four segments: Occupant Safety Systems,
Chassis Systems, Automotive Electronics and Other Automotive. The aerospace and
information systems business is now reported as three segments: Space &
Electronics, Systems & Information Technology and Aeronautical Systems. A
summary of the businesses comprising these segments is set forth in the
Operating Segments note to the Financial Statements included in TRW's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.

         In order to facilitate a better understanding of the third quarter 1999
results, a statistical summary of TRW's first and second quarter results based
on the new segment reporting format is provided in this report. The results of
the operations of the businesses in these segments which were formerly part of
LucasVarity plc have been reflected in the above segments for the period
subsequent to the date of acquisition, March 25, 1999.
