RAYTHEON COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Raytheon Company (the
"Company") have been prepared on substantially the same basis as the Company's
annual consolidated financial statements except that the Company changed its
method of reporting cash flows related to the origination and sale of financing
receivables. These interim unaudited financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998. The information furnished has been prepared from the accounts
without audit. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect
all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods. Certain prior
year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
2. Restructuring
During 1998, the Company announced plans to consolidate and reorganize its
Electronics businesses. Of the $220 million restructuring charge recorded in
connection with these actions, $164 million remained as an accrued liability at
December 31, 1998 included as "Electronics Restructuring" in the table below. Of
the $584 million of exit costs recorded in connection with the merger with
Hughes Defense and the acquisition of TI Defense, $399 million remained as an
accrued liability at December 31, 1998 included as "Electronics Exit Costs" in
the table below. In the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a $35
million charge, which is included in cost of sales, for higher than originally
estimated exit costs related to the Hughes Defense and TI Defense actions. The
estimate for employee related exit costs increased by $27 million for higher
than planned severance and other termination benefit costs. The estimate for
facility related exit costs increased by $8 million for additional lease
termination costs expected to be incurred. In addition, the Company accrued $12
million of exit costs as liabilities assumed in connection with a minor
acquisition.
The Company also recorded a $102 million restructuring charge in the third
quarter of 1999, which is included in cost of sales, to further reduce the
workforce by 2,200 employees and vacate and dispose of an additional 2.7 million
square feet of facility space. These third quarter 1999 actions are primarily
related to Raytheon Systems Company (RSC). Employee related exit costs of $55
million include severance and other termination benefit costs for manufacturing,
engineering, and administrative employees. Facility related exit costs of $47
million include the costs for lease termination, building closure and disposal,
and equipment disposition.
During 1998, the Company announced plans to reduce the Raytheon Engineers &
Constructors (RE&C) workforce and facility space. The Company will essentially
complete these actions during 1999 for $10 million less than planned due to
lower facility exit costs. In the second quarter of 1999, the Company
implemented additional restructuring plans to further reduce the RE&C workforce
by 200 employees at a cost of $10 million. The Company also recorded a
restructuring charge of $10 million in the third quarter of 1999, which is
included in cost of sales, to reduce the workforce by another 150 employees. The
workforce affected by the 1999 restructuring actions were engineering and
administrative employees.

During the first nine months of 1999, the Company's activity related to the
restructuring initiatives at the Electronics businesses and RE&C was as follows:

The Company also incurred $166 million of period costs and capital expenditures
during the nine months ended October 3, 1999 related to the Electronics
businesses restructuring initiatives.
The cumulative number of employee terminations due to restructuring actions for
Electronics exit costs, Electronics restructuring, and RE&C restructuring was
6,000, 3,600, and 1,700, respectively. The cumulative number of square feet
exited due to restructuring actions for Electronics exit costs, Electronics
restructuring, and RE&C restructuring was 3.5 million, 1.4 million, and 1.0
million, respectively.
3. Business Segment Reporting
The Company operates in three major business areas: Electronics, (both defense
and commercial), Engineering and Construction, and Aircraft. In the first
quarter of 1999, the Company completed a reorganization of certain business
segments within Total Electronics to better align the operations with customer
needs. Prior year segment results have been restated to reflect this change.
Segment financial results were as follows:

5. Special Purpose Entities
In connection with the sales of receivables, the following special purpose
entities were in existence at October 3, 1999, Raytheon Receivables, Inc.,
Raytheon Aircraft Receivables Corporation, and Raytheon Engineers & Constructors
Receivables Corporation. The balance of receivables sold to banks or financial
institutions outstanding at October 3, 1999 was $2,882 million. No material gain
or loss resulted from the sales of receivables.
<PAGE>
11
6. Notes Payable and Long-term Debt
Lines of credit with certain commercial banks exist as standby facilities to
support the issuance of commercial paper by the Company. The lines of credit
were $4.1 billion and $4.4 billion at October 3, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
respectively. At October 3, 1999 and December 31, 1998, there were no borrowings
under these lines of credit. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, over $2
billion had been borrowed under the lines of credit.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company's most restrictive covenant
was amended. The new covenant requires that earnings before interest and taxes
be at least 2.4 times net interest expense for the prior four quarters.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
During October and November 1999, the Company and two of its officers were named
as defendants in class action lawsuits. The complaints principally allege that
the defendants violated federal securities laws by making false and misleading
statements and by failing to disclose material information concerning the
Company's financial performance, thereby causing the value of the Company's
stock to be artificially inflated. The Company was also named as a nominal
defendant and all of its directors (except one) were named as defendants in a
derivative lawsuit. The derivative complaint contains allegations similar to
those included in the above complaints and further alleges that the defendants
breached fiduciary duties to the Company and allegedly failed to exercise due
care and diligence in the management and administration of the affairs of the
Company. Although the Company believes that it and the other defendants have
meritorious defenses to the claims made in both the derivative complaint and the
other complaints and intends to contest the lawsuits vigorously, an adverse
resolution of the lawsuits could have a material adverse affect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations in the period in which the lawsuits
are resolved. The Company is not presently able to reasonably estimate potential
losses, if any, related to the lawsuits.
The Company merged with Hughes Defense in December 1997. Pursuant to the terms
of the Master Separation Agreement (the "Separation Agreement"), which requires
an adjustment based on net assets, the final purchase price for Hughes Defense
has not been determined. Based on terms and conditions of the Separation
Agreement, the Company believes that it is entitled to a reduction in the
purchase price, a position that Hughes Electronics disputes. The Company and
Hughes Electronics have begun the process of negotiating a possible resolution
of this matter. If the matter is not successfully resolved through negotiation,
the Separation Agreement provides for binding arbitration. Concurrent with the
negotiations, the parties have held initial discussions regarding the selection
of a neutral arbitrator. Accordingly, while the Company expects a reduction in
purchase price from the original terms of the agreement, the amount, timing, and
effect on the Company's financial position are uncertain. As a result of this
uncertainty, no amounts have been recorded in the financial statements related
to this gain contingency.
In September 1999, the Company sent Hughes Electronics a demand for mediation
pursuant to the alternative dispute resolution process set forth in the Master
Separation Agreement in connection with a separate claim against Hughes
Electronics concerning the accuracy and completeness of disclosures made by
Hughes Electronics to the Company prior to the merger.
In November 1999, the Company filed a complaint against Towers, Perrin, Forster
& Crosby (TPF&C). The complaint arises out of a series of events concerning
certain Hughes Electronics pension plans (the "Hughes Plans"), portions of which
were acquired by the Company in connection with the merger with Hughes Defense.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that the Company was damaged by false
representations made to the Company by TPF&C regarding the amount of surplus in
the Hughes Plans and errors committed by TPF&C in providing administration
services to the Hughes Plans. The complaint seeks damages in an amount to be
determined at trial.

Options to purchase 6.5 million and 9.8 million shares of common stock for the
three months ended October 3, 1999 and September 27, 1998, respectively, and
options to purchase 6.5 million and 6.8 million shares of common stock for the
nine months ended October 3, 1999 and September 27, 1998, respectively, did not
affect the computation of diluted EPS. The exercise prices for these options
were greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock during
the respective periods.

9. Change in Accounting Principle
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 98-5, Reporting on the Costs
of Start-Up Activities (SOP 98-5). This accounting standard requires that
certain start-up and pre-contract award costs be expensed as incurred. During
the first quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a charge of $53 million or $0.16
per diluted share, reflecting the initial application of SOP 98-5 and the
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle as of January 1, 1999.
10. Subsequent Events
In October 1999, the Company reached an agreement to sell its hybrid
microlectronics division for approximately $23 million in cash. There can be no
assurance that the sale will be consummated.
In keeping with the Company's on-going consolidation effort and to further
simplify its organizational structure, in November 1999, the Company announced a
reorganization of its electronics businesses. Under the new structure, RSC will
be eliminated and the Defense Systems and Sensors and Electronics Systems
segments will be combined.
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Consolidated Results of Operations - Third quarter 1999 compared with third
quarter 1998
Net sales for the third quarter of 1999 were $4.7 billion versus $4.4 billion
for the same period in 1998. Sales to the U.S. Department of Defense were 54
percent of sales for the third quarter of 1999 versus 60 percent of sales for
the third quarter of 1998. Total third quarter 1999 and 1998 sales to the U.S.
government, including foreign military sales, were 62 percent and 71 percent of
sales, respectively. Sales to the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. government
decreased due primarily to revenue reductions associated with the Raytheon
Systems Company (RSC) 1999 third quarter charges described below. Total
international sales, including foreign military sales, were 25 percent of sales
for the third quarter of 1999 versus 21 percent of sales for the third quarter
of 1998. International sales were lower in the third quarter of 1998 due
primarily to the Raytheon Engineers & Constructors (RE&C) 1998 third quarter
charges described below.
<PAGE>
14
Gross margin for the third quarter of 1999 was $443 million or 9.4 percent of
sales versus $758 million or 17.1 percent of sales for the third quarter of
1998. The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to the 1999 and
1998 third quarter charges described below.
Administrative and selling expenses were $388 million or 8.2 percent of sales
for the third quarter of 1999 versus $404 million or 9.1 percent of sales for
the third quarter of 1998. The decrease in administrative and selling expenses
as a percent of sales was primarily attributable to the $42 million 1998 third
quarter charges.
Research and development expenses decreased to $115 million or 2.4 percent of
sales for the third quarter of 1999 versus $134 million or 3.0 percent of sales
for the third quarter of 1998. The decrease in research and development expenses
was due primarily to the elimination of duplicate research and development
processes within RSC.
During the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded $147 million for
restructuring charges for additional employment and facility space reductions,
$58 million of restructuring related period expenses, $74 million in special
charges as detailed below, and $320 million in operating charges related
primarily to contract adjustments on three contracts at RSC and four contracts
at RE&C as detailed below. The impact of the third quarter 1999 charges was a
reduction in net sales of $200 million, and increases to cost of sales,
administrative and selling expenses, and other expense of $375 million, $10
million, and $14 million, respectively. In the third quarter of 1998, the
Company recorded charges of $310 million as a reduction in net sales, and
increases to cost of sales and administrative and selling expenses of $85
million and $42 million, respectively.
The $320 million in operating charges consisted of $195 million at RSC and $125
million at RE&C. Of the $195 million RSC charges, approximately $130 million
related to changes in estimates on three contracts. Two are fixed price U.S.
government contracts that were in loss positions. One was expected to begin to
realize certain efficiencies that have not materialized. The other recently
completed the development phase at higher than expected costs resulting in a
higher loss than originally anticipated, therefore, additional loss provisions
were recorded. The third is a fixed price commercial program in a new line of
business. The cost of this program is running higher than the initial
projections, therefore a loss provision was recorded. The $125 million RE&C
charge related to four troubled international fixed price contracts in loss
positions that are experiencing schedule delays and cost overruns due to labor
difficulties and subcontractor performance.
The special charges of $74 million recorded during the third quarter of 1999
were to write down to estimated fair value certain assets. The Company recorded
a $35 million charge to write down its minority investment and receivables
related to Iridium LLC which filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors on
August 13, 1999, of which $14 million was included in other expense. The Company
also recorded an additional $33 million charge to further write down inventory
and receivables related to a Korean business venture and a $6 million charge to
exit the personal rapid transit (PRT) business, including the costs to dispose
of a test track. As of October 3, 1999, the remaining assets related to the
Korean business venture were approximately $10 million.

The Company's operating loss was $60 million for the third quarter of 1999
versus operating income of $220 million for the third quarter of 1998. The
changes in operating income (loss) by segment are discussed below.
Interest expense, net was $180 million for both the third quarter of 1999 and
1998.
Other expense, net for the third quarter of 1999 was $3 million, which included
a $14 million charge for the write-off of the Company's investment in Iridium,
versus other income, net of $7 million for the third quarter of 1998.
The Company's net loss was $169 million for the third quarter of 1999, or a loss
of $0.50 per diluted share on 338.0 million average shares outstanding versus
net income of $11 million for the third quarter of 1998, or $0.03 per diluted
share on 341.5 million average shares outstanding.
Total employment was approximately 106,600 at October 3, 1999, approximately
108,200 at December 31, 1998, and approximately 114,800 at September 27, 1998.
The decreases are primarily a result of the continuing restructuring initiatives
at RSC and RE&C, offset by the recruitment of employees for critical technical
skills.
<PAGE>
16
The Electronics businesses reported third quarter 1999 sales of $3.4 billion, a
decrease from $3.6 billion for the same period a year ago. The operating loss
was $8 million versus operating income of $490 million or 13.5 percent of sales
for the same period a year ago. The Company expects the 2000 annual revenue
growth to approximate 3 percent and operating margin to approximate 11.5 to 12.0
percent. The major changes in sales and operating income within the Electronics
businesses are described below.
During 1998, the Company announced plans to consolidate and reorganize its
Electronics businesses. Due to the competitive business environment, the Company
continues to try to reduce its cost structure. In light of this, the Company
recorded a restructuring charge in the third quarter of 1999 of $102 million to
further reduce the workforce by 2,200 employees and vacate and dispose of
additional facility space. In the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a
$35 million charge, which is included in cost of sales, for higher than
originally estimated exit costs related to the merger with Hughes Defense and
the acquisition of TI Defense.
Defense Systems reported third quarter 1999 sales of $1.2 billion, an increase
from $1.1 billion for the same period a year ago. Operating income was $62
million for the third quarter of 1999 versus $249 million for the third quarter
of 1998. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the third quarter
1999 charges and higher margin programs included in the prior year which are not
expected to be replaced due to competitive pressures.
Sensors and Electronic Systems reported sales of $721 million in the third
quarter of 1999, compared to $828 million for the third quarter of 1998.
Operating income decreased to $39 million for the third quarter of 1999 from
$129 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in operating income
was primarily due to the third quarter 1999 charges.
Command, Control, Communication, and Information Systems reported sales for the
third quarter of 1999 of $799 million compared to sales of $841 million for the
third quarter of 1998. The operating loss for the third quarter of 1999 was $8
million versus operating income of $94 million for the same period a year ago.
The decrease in operating income was primarily due to third quarter 1999 charges
and higher margin programs included in the prior year.
Aircraft Integration Systems, Training and Services, Commercial Electronics, and
Other reported sales of $653 million for the third quarter of 1999 versus $804
million for the third quarter of 1998. The operating loss of $101 million for
the third quarter of 1999 compared to operating income of $18 million for the
same period of 1998. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the
third quarter charges, the divestiture of Cedarapids in the third quarter of
1999, and higher margin programs completed in the prior year.
RE&C reported a third quarter 1999 operating loss of $115 million on sales of
$659 million, compared to a third quarter 1998 operating loss of $338 million on
sales of $246 million. During the third quarter of 1999 and 1998, the Company
recorded charges at RE&C of $135 million and $354 million, respectively, of
which $21 million and $310 million were recorded as a reduction in net sales for
the third quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Project delays, cancellations,
and cost growth contributed to the erosion in operating margins. The Company
expects that the difficulties encountered during the first nine months of 1999
will continue into the foreseeable future.
<PAGE>
17
During 1998, the Company announced plans to reduce the RE&C workforce and
facility space. The Company will essentially complete these actions during 1999
for $10 million less than planned due to lower facility exit costs. In the
second quarter of 1999, the Company implemented additional restructuring plans
to further reduce the RE&C workforce by 200 employees at a cost of $10 million.
The Company also recorded a restructuring charge of $10 million in the third
quarter of 1999, which is included in cost of sales, to reduce the workforce by
another 150 employees. The workforce affected by the 1999 restructuring actions
were engineering and administrative employees.
Raytheon Aircraft reported third quarter 1999 sales of $654 million versus $572
million for the same period a year ago and operating income of $63 million or
9.6 percent of sales versus $68 million or 11.9 percent of sales for the same
period a year ago. The increase in sales is due to increased demand for the King
Air and Hawker aircraft. The decline in operating margin as a percent of sales
was due to increased development and start-up costs for the Premier I, Hawker
Horizon, and JPATS aircraft.
Nine months 1999 versus nine months 1998
Net sales for the first nine months of 1999 were $14.8 billion, an increase of
5.3 percent versus $14.1 billion for the same period in 1998. Sales to the U.S.
Department of Defense were 54 percent of sales for the first nine months of 1999
versus 57 percent of sales for the first nine months of 1998. Total sales to the
U.S. government during the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, including foreign
military sales, were 63 percent and 68 percent of sales, respectively. Total
international sales, including foreign military sales, were 27 percent of sales
for the first nine months of 1999 versus 24 percent of sales for the same period
in 1998.
Gross margin for the first nine months of 1999 was $2,663 million or 18.0
percent of sales versus $2,913 million or 20.7 percent of sales for the first
nine months of 1998. The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to
the charges described below.
Administrative and selling expenses were $1,132 million or 7.6 percent of sales
for the first nine months of 1999 versus $1,206 million or 8.6 percent of sales
for the first nine months of 1998. The decrease in administrative and selling
expenses was primarily attributable to the $126 million 1998 charges.
Research and development expenses decreased to $361 million or 2.4 percent of
sales for the first nine months of 1999 from $432 million or 3.1 percent of
sales for the first nine months of 1998. The decrease in research and
development expenses was due primarily to the elimination of duplicate research
and development processes within RSC.
<PAGE>
18
During the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded $147 million of
restructuring charges for additional employment and facility space reductions,
$58 million of restructuring related period expenses, $74 million in special
charges to write down certain assets to estimated fair value, and $320 million
in operating charges related primarily to contract adjustments. The impact of
the third quarter 1999 charges was a reduction in net sales of $200 million, and
increases to cost of sales, administrative and selling expenses, and other
expense of $375 million, $10 million, and $14 million, respectively. In the
second and third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded charges of $310 million
as a reduction in net sales, and increases to cost of sales and administrative
and selling expenses of $85 million and $126 million, respectively.
Operating income was $1,170 million or 7.9 percent of sales for the first nine
months of 1999 versus $1,275 million or 9.1 percent of sales for the first nine
months of 1998. The changes in operating income by segment are discussed below.
Interest expense, net was $533 million for both the first nine months of 1999
and 1998.
Other income, net for the first nine months of 1999 was $2 million versus $109
million for the first nine months of 1998, which included a $99 million pretax
gain from divestitures.
The effective tax rate was 42.7 percent for the first nine months of 1999 versus
41.8 percent for the first nine months of 1998. The effective tax rate reflects
primarily the United States statutory rate of 35 percent reduced by foreign
sales corporation tax credits and research and development tax credits
applicable to certain government contracts, increased by non-deductible
amortization of goodwill.
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 98-5, Reporting on the Costs
of Start-Up Activities (SOP 98-5). This accounting standard requires that
certain start-up and pre-contract award costs be expensed as incurred. During
the first quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a charge of $53 million or $0.16
per diluted share, reflecting the initial application of SOP 98-5 and the
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle as of January 1, 1999.
Income before accounting change was $366 million for the first nine months of
1999, or $1.07 per diluted share on 342.4 million average shares outstanding
versus net income of $495 million for the first nine months of 1998, or $1.45
per diluted share on 342.5 million average shares outstanding. Net income for
the first nine months of 1999 was $313 million, or $0.91 per diluted share.
The Electronics businesses reported sales for the first nine months of 1999 of
$10.9 billion versus $11.0 billion for the same period a year ago and operating
income of $1,065 million or 9.7 percent of sales compared with $1,374 million or
12.5 percent of sales for the same period a year ago. During the third quarter
of 1999, the Company recorded charges by segment as outlined above. During the
second and third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded charges of $8 million at
Command, Control, Communication, and Information Systems and $159 million at
Aircraft Integration Systems, Training and Services, Commercial Electronics, and
Other. The major changes in sales and operating income within the Electronics
businesses are described below.
<PAGE>
19
Defense Systems reported sales for the first nine months of 1999 of $3.9
billion, an increase from $3.6 billion for the same period a year ago. Operating
income decreased to $516 million for the first nine months of 1999 from $621
million for the first nine months of 1998 primarily due to 1999 third quarter
charges.
Sensors and Electronic Systems reported sales of $2.1 billion for the first nine
months of 1999 versus $2.2 billion for the first nine months of 1998. Operating
income was $273 million for the first nine months of 1999 versus $359 million
for the same period a year ago. The decrease in operating income is primarily
due to the 1999 third quarter charges.
Command, Control, Communication, and Information Systems reported sales of $2.7
billion for the first nine months of 1999 versus $2.6 billion for the first nine
months of 1998. Operating income was $229 million for the first nine months of
1999 compared to $240 million for the same period of 1998.
Aircraft Integration Systems, Training and Services, Commercial Electronics, and
Other reported sales of $2.3 billion for the first nine months of 1999, down
from $2.6 billion for the first nine months of 1998. Operating income was $47
million compared to $154 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in
operating income from prior year is primarily due to higher margin programs
completed in the prior year.
RE&C reported sales of $2.0 billion during the first nine months of 1999 versus
$1.4 billion for the same period a year ago and an operating loss of $65 million
compared with an operating loss of $275 million for the same period a year ago.
During the third quarter of 1999 and 1998, the Company recorded charges at RE&C
of $135 million and $354 million, respectively, of which $21 million and $310
million were recorded as a reduction in net sales for the third quarter of 1999
and 1998, respectively.
Raytheon Aircraft reported sales of $1.9 billion for the first nine months of
1999 versus $1.7 billion for the same period a year ago and operating income of
$170 million or 9.0 percent of sales, compared to $176 million or 10.5 percent
of sales for the same period a year ago. The increase in sales is due to
increased demand for the King Air and Hawker aircraft. The decline in operating
income as a percent of sales was due to increased development and start-up costs
for the Premier I, Hawker Horizon, and JPATS aircraft. Also contributing to the
decrease in operating income as a percent of sales was the divestiture of the
Raytheon Aircraft Montek subsidiary in the fourth quarter of 1998.
Backlog consisted of the following:

Backlog is down at Engineering and Construction primarily due to the delays in
the timing of orders. Backlog at Aircraft is up because of additional orders
received for the Premier I and Hawker Horizon aircraft.
The Company has an investment in Space Imaging LLC, (limited liability company)
created to take advantage of opportunities in the geographical information
services market. The Company has guaranteed 45 percent of Space Imaging's $300
million revolving credit facility. At October 3, 1999, the Company's investment
in and other assets related to Space Imaging totaled $73 million.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Net cash used in operating activities for the first nine months of 1999 was
$1,335 million versus $159 million for the first nine months of 1998. The
increase was due principally to increased working capital requirements in the
Electronics businesses, costs associated with restructuring activities,
increased spending on certain troubled contracts at RSC and RE&C, timing of
disbursements related to accounts payable, and an increase in inventory at
Raytheon Aircraft. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company incurred
$512 million of restructuring-related expenditures at RSC and RE&C combined,
compared to $119 million during the same period a year ago.
During the second quarter of 1999, the Company changed its method of reporting
cash flows related to the origination and sale of financing receivables which
are now classified as cash flows from investing activities. Prior to the change,
these amounts were classified as cash flows from operating activities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $202 million for the first nine months
of 1999 versus cash provided of $319 million for the first nine months of 1998.
Origination and sale of financing receivables for the nine months ended October
3, 1999 were $941 million and $804 million, respectively, versus origination and
sale of financing receivables for the nine months ended September 27, 1998 of
$819 million and $620 million, respectively. Capital expenditures were $292
million for the first nine months of 1999 versus $374 million for the first nine
months of 1998. Capital expenditures, including facilities consolidation, for
the full year 1999 are expected to be approximately $450 million. Proceeds from
the sales of operating units and investments were $244 million for the first
nine months of 1999 versus $497 million for the first nine months of 1998. In
September of 1998, the Company entered into a $490 million property sale and
five-year operating lease facility. Proceeds of $481 million from the facility
were received in September 1998.
The Company merged with Hughes Defense in December 1997. Pursuant to the terms
of the Master Separation Agreement (the "Separation Agreement"), which requires
an adjustment based on net assets, the final purchase price for Hughes Defense
has not been determined. Based on terms and conditions of the Separation
Agreement, the Company believes that it is entitled to a reduction in the
purchase price, a position that Hughes Electronics disputes. The Company and
Hughes Electronics have begun the process of negotiating a possible resolution
of this matter. If the matter is not successfully resolved through negotiation,
the Separation Agreement provides for binding arbitration. Concurrent with the
negotiations, the parties have held initial discussions regarding the selection
of a neutral arbitrator. Accordingly, while the Company expects a reduction in
purchase price from the original terms of the agreement, the amount, timing, and
effect on the Company's financial position are uncertain. As a result of this
uncertainty, no amounts have been recorded in the financial statements related
to this gain contingency.
In September 1999, the Company sent Hughes Electronics a demand for mediation
pursuant to the alternative dispute resolution process set forth in the Master
Separation Agreement in connection with a separate claim against Hughes
Electronics concerning the accuracy and completeness of disclosures made by
Hughes Electronics to the Company prior to the merger.
In November 1999, the Company filed a complaint against Towers, Perrin, Forster
& Crosby ("TPF&C"). The complaint arises out of a series of events concerning
certain Hughes Electronics pension plans (the "Hughes Plans"), portions of which
were acquired by the Company in connection with the merger with Hughes Defense.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that the Company was damaged by false
representations made to the Company by TPF&C regarding the amount of surplus in
the Hughes Plans and errors committed by TPF&C in providing administration
services to the Hughes Plans. The complaint seeks damages in an amount to be
determined at trial.
See also Part II, Item 1 below for a description of pending legal matters that
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,229 million for the first nine
months of 1999 versus net cash used of $345 million for the first nine months of
1998. Dividends paid to stockholders in the first nine months of 1999 were $201
million versus $203 million in the first nine months of 1998. The quarterly
dividend rate was $0.20 per share for the first three quarters of both 1999 and
1998. Outstanding shares were reduced by the repurchase of 2.6 million shares
for $150 million during the first nine months of 1999 and 3.5 million shares for
$186 million during the same period a year ago. In March 1999, the Board of
Directors authorized the repurchase of up to six million shares of the Company's
Class A and Class B common stock over the next three years.
Total debt was $10.4 billion at October 3, 1999, compared to $9.0 billion at
December 31, 1998, and $10.0 billion at September 27, 1998.
In July 1999, the Company filed a shelf registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission registering the possible future issuance of up to $3.0
billion in debt and/or equity securities. This filing is not yet effective.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Standard and Poor's lowered its rating of
the Company's short-term borrowings from A-2 to A-3 and senior debt from BBB to
BBB-, Duff & Phelps lowered its rating for short-term borrowings from D-2 to D-3
and from BBB+ to BBB- for senior debt. Moody's maintained its short-term rating
at P-2 but lowered its ratings of the Company's senior debt from Baa1 to Baa2.
Lines of credit with certain commercial banks exist as standby facilities to
support the issuance of commercial paper by the Company. The lines of credit
were $4.1 billion and $4.4 billion at October 3, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
respectively. At October 3, 1999 and December 31, 1998, there were no borrowings
under these lines of credit. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company
has borrowed over $2 billion against the lines of credit due to the anticipated
lower market capacity for the Company's commercial paper as a result of the
downgrade in its short-term credit ratings.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company's most restrictive covenant
was amended. The new covenant requires that earnings before interest and taxes
are at least 2.4 times net interest expense for the prior four quarters.
The Company's need for, cost of, and access to funds are dependent on future
operating results, as well as conditions external to the Company. The Company
believes that its financial position will be sufficient to maintain access to
the capital markets in order to support its current operations.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Financial Market Risks
The following discussion covers quantitative and qualitative disclosures about
the Company's financial market risks. The Company's primary market exposures are
to interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
<PAGE>
22
The Company meets its working capital requirements with a combination of
variable rate short-term and fixed rate long-term financing. The Company enters
into interest rate swap agreements with commercial banks primarily to reduce the
impact of changes in interest rates on short-term financing arrangements. The
Company also enters into foreign exchange contracts with commercial banks to
minimize fluctuations in the value of payments to international vendors and the
value of foreign currency denominated receipts. The market-risk sensitive
instruments used by the Company for hedging are entered into with commercial
banks and are directly related to a particular asset, liability, or transaction
for which a firm commitment is in place. The Company sells receivables through
various special purpose entities and retains a partial interest that may include
service rights, interest only strips, and subordinated certificates.
Financial instruments held by the Company which are subject to interest rate
risk include notes payable, commercial paper, long-term debt, long-term
receivables, investments, and interest rate swap agreements. The aggregate
hypothetical loss in earnings for one year of those financial instruments held
by the Company at October 3, 1999 which are subject to interest rate risk
resulting from a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 10 percent is $1
million, after-tax. The hypothetical loss was determined by calculating the
aggregate impact of a one year increase of 10 percent in the interest rate of
each variable rate financial instrument held by the Company at October 3, 1999
which is subject to interest rate risk. Fixed rate financial instruments were
not evaluated, as the risk exposure is not material.
Year 2000 Date Conversion
The Year 2000 problem concerns the inability of information systems to recognize
properly and process date-sensitive information beyond January 1, 2000.
In January 1998, the Company initiated a formal comprehensive enterprise-wide
program to identify and resolve Year 2000 related issues. The scope of the
program includes the investigation of all Company functions and products and all
internally used hardware and software systems, including embedded systems in
what are not traditionally considered information technology systems. The
program has developed standard processes and an internal service center in
support of Year 2000 readiness. The Company is following an eight-step risk
management process grouped into two major phases, detection (planning and
awareness, inventory, triage, and detailed assessment) and correction
(resolution, test planning, test execution, and deployment).
The Company has identified the following eight system types that could have
risk: application, infrastructure, test equipment, engineering computing,
manufacturing, delivered product, facilities, and supply chain. The completion
of several large acquisitions in recent years through which the Company
inherited a significant number of systems, products, and facilities adds to the
complexity of this task.
<PAGE>
23
The detection phase of the program, which covered all eight system types, has
been completed and the tasks in the corrective action phase to resolve all
identified Year 2000 issues for internally used hardware and software systems
are essentially complete. On the basis of expected total cost, the corrective
action phase is 94 percent complete. A significant portion of the remaining
costs are for the finalization and documentation of contingency plans to augment
existing disaster recovery plans and sourcing strategies for identified risks.
The Company expects to complete these activities during the fourth quarter of
1999. The Company continues to execute a formal audit program to assess its
state of readiness. The Company is also assessing the risk of supplier
readiness, and in selected cases is reviewing the preparedness of individual
suppliers for Year 2000.
Since January 1998, the Company has spent $114 million on the Year 2000 program,
$20 million on the detection phase, and $94 million on the corrective action
phase. Prior to 1998, expenditures on the program were insignificant. Total cost
at completion of the program is currently estimated to be $120 million. Of the
total $120 million estimated costs, $20 million relates to the detection phase
and $100 million is for correction. All costs, except those incurred for
long-lived assets, are expensed as incurred. These costs include employees,
inside and outside consultants and services, system replacements, and other
equipment requirements. Total estimated costs of the Year 2000 program are
predominantly internal; however, the Company has employed consultants in an
advisory capacity, primarily in the detection phase. Although a number of minor
information technology projects have been deferred as a result of the priority
given to the Year 2000 program, no significant projects which would materially
affect the Company's financial position or results of operations have been
delayed.
The Company currently believes it has resolved all identified Year 2000 issues
for delivered products and internally used hardware and software systems;
however, there can be no assurances as to the ultimate success of the Year 2000
program. The Company continues to assess its exposure attributable to external
factors, including uncertainties regarding the ability of critical suppliers to
avoid Year 2000 related service and delivery interruptions. While the Company
has no reason to conclude that any specific supplier represents a significant
Year 2000 risk, it is currently unable to conclude that all of its critical
suppliers will successfully resolve all Year 2000 issues on a timely basis. The
Company has various contingency plans in place for problems that may result
from a critical supplier's inability to successfully resolve its Year 2000
issues. A "reasonably likely worst case" scenario of Year 2000 risks for the
Company could include isolated interruption of deliveries from critical
suppliers, increased manufacturing costs until the problems are resolved,
delayed product shipments, lost revenues, lower cash receipts, and certain
product liability issues. The Company is unable to quantify the potential effect
of these items which could have a material adverse effect on its financial
position or results of operations should some combination of these events come
to pass.
Accounting Standards
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133). This accounting standard, which is
effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000,
requires that all derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities at
estimated fair value. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this report contain forward-looking statements,
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, regarding
the Company's future plans, objectives and expected performance. Specifically,
statements that are not historical facts, including statements accompanied by
words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," or "plan"
are intended to identify forward-looking statements and convey the uncertainty
of future events or outcomes. The Company cautions readers that any such
forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Company believes
are reasonable, but are subject to a wide-range of risks, and there can be no
assurance that actual results may not differ materially. Important factors that
could cause actual results to differ include but are not limited to: differences
in anticipated and actual program results, the ultimate resolution of the
contingencies discussed in Note 7 to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
included in Part I, Item 1 above and the legal matters discussed in Part II,
Item 1 below, the ability to realize anticipated cost efficiencies, the effect
of market conditions, the impact of competitive products and pricing, potential
cost growth on new product introductions at Raytheon Aircraft, the impact on
recourse obligations of Raytheon Aircraft due to changes in the collateral
values of financed aircraft, risks inherent with large long-term fixed price
contracts, government customers' budgetary constraints, the successful
resolution of Year 2000 related issues, government import and export policies,
termination of government contracts, financial and governmental risks related to
international transactions, and the integration of acquisitions, among other
things. Further information regarding the factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from projected results can be found in the
Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
"Item 1-Business" in Raytheon's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is a party to or has property subject to litigation and other
proceedings, including matters arising under provisions relating to the
protection of the environment, as specifically described below, in the Company's
1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K, or arising in the ordinary course of business.
In the opinion of management, except as otherwise indicated below, it is
unlikely that the outcome of any such litigation or other proceedings will have
a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
The Company is primarily engaged in providing products and services under
contracts with the U.S. Government and, to a lesser degree, under direct foreign
sales contracts, some of which are funded by the U.S. Government. These
contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from
time to time, agencies of the U.S. Government investigate whether the Company's
operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. U.S.
Government investigations of the Company, whether relating to these contracts or
conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal
liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon the
Company, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government
contracting. U.S. Government investigations often take years to complete and
many result in no adverse action against the Company. For the U.S. Government
investigations reported, it is too early for the Company to determine whether
adverse decisions relating to these investigations could ultimately have a
material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

The following describes new matters or developments of previously reported
matters that have occurred since filing of the Company's 1998 Annual Report on
Form 10-K. See the "Legal Proceedings" section of the Company's 1998 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for a description of previously reported matters.
The Company and two of its officers were named as defendants in purported class
action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts on October 14, 1999 by Merrill Roth (No. 99-12143NG), on October
15, 1999 by Robert Johnson (No. 99-12146PBS) and Jeffrey Gelfand (No.
99-121954JLT), on October 18, 1999 by Sidney Meisel (No. 99-12142PBS) and A.
Richard Albrecht (No. 99-12178PBS), on October 19, 1999 by Barbara Rice (No. 99-
12185NG), on October 26, 1999 by David DeForrest (No. 99-12222PBS) and Maureen
Rocks (No. 99-12225PBS), on November 3, 1999 by Deborah Isaac (99-12297PBS) and
on November 8, 1999 by Jay Fleishman (No. 99-12339PBS); in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York on October 25, 1999 by
Raymond Masri (No. 99-10789); and in the United States District Court for the
District of Maryland on October 21, 1999 by Edwin Hankin (No. S-99-3211)
(collectively the "Complaints"). The Complaints principally allege that the
defendants violated federal securities laws by purportedly making false and
misleading statements and by failing to disclose material information concerning
the Company's financial performance, thereby allegedly causing the value of the
Company's stock to be artificially inflated. The purported class periods for
which damages are allegedly sought include March 30, 1998 to October 11, 1999
for the Rocks and Isaac actions; January 28, 1999 to October 12, 1999 for the
Roth, Rice, Masri and Hankin actions; August 18, 1999 to October 11, 1999 for
the Johnson, Gelfand, Albrecht, DeForrest and Fleishman actions; and September
16, 1999 to October 11, 1999 for the Meisel action. The Company anticipates that
the Complaints may be consolidated in the near future, and that additional
related actions may be filed.
The Company was also named as a nominal defendant and all of its directors
(except one) were named as defendants in a purported derivative lawsuit filed in
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County on
October 25, 1999 by Ralph Mirarchi and others (No. 17495-NC) (the "Derivative
Complaint"). The Derivative Complaint contains allegations similar to those
included in the Complaints and further alleges that the defendants purportedly
breached fiduciary duties to the Company and allegedly failed to exercise due
care and diligence in the management and administration of the affairs of the
Company.
Although the Company believes that it and the other defendants have meritorious
defenses to the claims made in both the Derivative Complaint and the other
Complaints and intends to contest the lawsuits vigorously, an adverse resolution
of the lawsuits could have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations in the period in which the lawsuits are
resolved. The Company is not presently able to reasonably estimate potential
losses, if any, related to the lawsuits.
The U.S. Customs Service recently concluded its investigation of the
contemplated sale by Raytheon Canada Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, of
troposcatter radio equipment to a customer in Pakistan. The Company has produced
documents in response to grand jury subpoenas, and grand jury appearances have
taken place. The Company has cooperated fully with the investigation. The
Government has informed the Company that it has reached no conclusion with
respect to this matter.

On November 16, 1999, the Company filed a complaint against Towers, Perrin,
Forster & Crosby ("TPF&C") in the United States District Court for the District
of Massachusetts. The complaint arises out of a series of events concerning
certain Hughes Electronics pension plans (the "Hughes Plans"), portions of which
were acquired by the Company in connection with the merger with Hughes Defense.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that the Company was damaged by (i) false
representations made to the Company by TPF&C regarding the amount of surplus in
the Hughes Plans and (ii) errors committed by TPF&C in providing administrative
services to the Hughes Plans. The complaint seeks damages in an amount to be
determined at trial.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Financial Condition and Liquidity" and "Note 7 - Commitments and
Contingencies" of the Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this
Form 10-Q for a description of the Company's disputes with Hughes Electronics
regarding the following matters: (i) the determination of the final purchase
price for Hughes Defense and (ii) a claim by the Company against Hughes
Electronics concerning the accuracy and completeness of disclosures made by
Hughes Electronics prior to the merger of Raytheon Company and HE Holdings, Inc.
