                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Unless the context otherwise requires, the term "Company" refers to Newport News
Shipbuilding Inc. ("NNS") and its consolidated subsidiaries. Although certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, the Company believes
that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. Operating results for the three month period ended
March 19, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. These unaudited financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1999.

The Company is reporting quarterly results on an accounting-month basis
consistent with the prior year. In order to more effectively match revenues,
costs, and profits with operating segments, certain amounts for 1999 have been
reclassified to conform with the 2000 presentation. In the opinion of the
Company's management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
presentation.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per common share is computed assuming the terms and conditions
for the contingent shares and common stock options were met and converted on
March 19, 2000 and March 21, 1999, respectively.

3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Government Contracting

As a general practice in the defense industry, the Defense Contract Audit Agency
("DCAA") and other government agencies continually review the cost accounting
and other practices of government contractors, including the Company, conduct
other investigations, and make specific inquiries. In the course of those
reviews and investigations, cost accounting and other issues are identified,
discussed and settled, or resolved through legal proceedings. In some cases,
recognition of the inherent uncertainties and costs of litigation may cause
management to decide to settle a matter.

As with other government contractors, the U.S. Government has from time to time
recommended that certain of the Company's contract prices be reduced, or costs
allocated to its government contracts be disallowed. Some of these
recommendations involve substantial amounts. In the past, as a result of such
audits and other investigations and inquiries, the Company has on occasion
agreed to adjustments to its contract prices and the costs allocated to its
government contracts. The Company is currently involved in several such audits
and other investigative proceedings with the U.S. Government. The Company is
also engaged in settlement discussions on certain matters and has filed a
lawsuit concerning specific cost accounting issues.

As previously reported, the DCAA conducted a post-award audit of the contract to
build the aircraft carrier Reagan. In April 1998, the DCAA issued its official
audit report ("Audit Report") in which it concluded that the cost or pricing
data supplied by the Company to the U.S. Navy was not current, accurate, and
complete and, therefore, projected labor and overhead costs were overstated for
the Reagan contract. Accordingly, the DCAA recommended

                                       5
<PAGE>

to the U.S. Navy's contracting officer that the contract price for Reagan be
reduced by approximately $135 million. After giving consideration to the cost
sharing provisions in the contract, the proposed price reduction could generate
an operating income adjustment of approximately $47 million over the life of the
contract.

The Company disagrees with the conclusions of the Audit Report and the DCAA's
recommendation to the contracting officer. Management believes that the Company
has substantial and meritorious grounds on which to contest any action by the
U.S. Navy seeking to reduce the Reagan contract price and intends to pursue its
defenses in response to any attempt by the U.S. Navy to make such a reduction.
Management believes that the final resolution of this matter will not have a
material impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows
of the Company.

In addition to the DCAA audit, a civil investigation, also focused on the cost
or pricing data that the Company supplied to the U.S. Navy in connection with
the Reagan contract, is being conducted jointly by the Department of Defense,
the Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District
of Virginia, and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Management believes
the Company complied with all applicable laws.

During the first quarter of 1999, the Company received a letter from the U.S.
Navy Supervisor of Shipbuilding forwarding a DCAA final audit report questioning
approximately $83 million of costs allocated to U.S. Government contracts as
Independent Research and Development ("IR&D"). The letter requested additional
comments regarding why NNS considers its existing cost accounting practice to be
compliant with the Cost Accounting Standards. The Company provided such comments
in the second quarter of 1999. Based on the Company's present understanding of
the claims the U.S. Government might assert, and defenses believed to be
available in connection with this issue, management believes that the final
resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on the financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Litigation

The Company is both a plaintiff and defendant in matters of varying nature
related to the normal conduct of its business. In the opinion of management, the
outcome of these proceedings should not have a material adverse effect on the
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

4. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

The Company's reportable operating segments represent strategic initiatives
supporting the entire lifecycle of U.S. Navy ships - Construction, Fleet
Services, and Engineering, as well as a logical linking of similar contracts
based on funding provisions. Engineering contracts generally receive funding on
an annual basis, Fleet Services contracts typically span between one month and
two years, and Construction contracts generally span a period of two or more
years. The reportable segments are managed separately because each business has
differing customer requirements based on the nature of the services provided.
The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before
interest and income taxes, not including nonrecurring gains and losses.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The Company's primary business is the design, construction, repair, overhaul and
refueling of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines for the U.S. Navy.
The Company also provides ongoing fleet services for other U.S. Navy vessels
through work in overhauling, lifecycle engineering, and repair. The U.S.
Government accounted for approximately 99% and 97% of the Company's revenues for
the quarterly periods ended March 19, 2000 and March 21, 1999, respectively.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2000 increased $39 million to $469 million
compared with the same period in 1999. The revenue improvement was attributable
to gains in the Construction and Engineering segments. Construction revenues
increased as a result of advanced planning work on the next aircraft carrier
(CVN 77) and increased activity on the Virginia-class submarine program,
partially offset by lower activity on the carrier Reagan. Engineering revenues
increased due to development work on the propulsion plant for the next
generation of aircraft carriers. While revenues in the Construction and
Engineering segments reflected growth, Fleet Services revenues were slightly
lower because of the reallocation of resources to construction programs as the
refueling and overhaul of the carrier Nimitz enters its final stages. Revenues
for the first quarter of 2000 were also favorably impacted by the timing of
material receipts across all segments.

First quarter 2000 operating earnings increased $3 million to $47 million. The
improvement was primarily driven by volume gains in the Construction and
Engineering segments.

The Company's funded backlog was $3.1 billion at March 19, 2000, substantially
all of which was U.S. Navy-related.

NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES

The $18 million increase in 2000's comparative cash flows from operating
activities was primarily due to a reduction in working capital, as well as
improved quarterly earnings as discussed above in "Results of Operations." The
reduction in working capital was due to normal timing fluctuations with respect
to billings, accounts receivable collections, the recognition of contract costs,
and the payment of trade accounts payable.

OTHER INVESTING CASH FLOWS

Other investing cash flow activities in 2000 relate to a $5 million investment
in AMSEC LLC. The Company owns 45% of this low-cost fleet services organization.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

The financing activities for the period ended March 19, 2000 reflect the
purchase of Company stock on the open market, pay down of the revolving credit
facility, and the payment of a quarterly dividend of four cents per share. The
1999 financing activities primarily reflect the receipt of proceeds from the
issuance of SECT shares related to the Company's benefit plans, the pay off of
short-term debt, pay down of the revolving credit facility, and the payment of a
quarterly dividend.
