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. 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, 1999. The information furnished has
been prepared from the accounts of the Company 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. The financial statements for all periods
presented have been restated for discontinued operations as described in Note 7.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation.
2. Restructuring
During the first nine months of 2000, the Company's activity related to
restructuring initiatives at the Company's defense and commercial electronics
businesses were as follows:
Exit Costs Restructuring

Cash expenditures $ 88 $ 16
Number of employee terminations due

Number of square feet exited due to
restructuring actions 1.8 0.6
<PAGE>

The Company also incurred $102 million of capital expenditures and period
expenses in the first nine months of 2000 related to the restructuring
initiatives.
In the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded an $8 million restructuring
charge at Commercial Electronics to reduce the Raytheon Marine High Seas
Division workforce by 90 employees in Germany.
In the third quarter of 2000, the Company determined that the restructuring
initiatives would be $25 million lower than originally planned and recorded a
favorable adjustment to cost of sales. The reduction in estimated restructuring
costs related primarily to lower than anticipated costs for severance due to
higher employee attrition and transfers within the Company at facilities
where these actions have been completed.
In the second quarter of 2000, the Company determined that the restructuring
initiatives would be $19 million lower than originally planned and recorded a
favorable adjustment to cost of sales. The reduction in estimated restructuring
costs related to lower than anticipated costs for severance and facilities due
to higher employee attrition and transfers within the Company, more rapid exit
from facilities, and the identification of alternative uses for facilities
originally identified for disposition during the quarter.
The cumulative number of employee terminations due to restructuring actions for
exit costs and restructuring was 7,800 and 4,100, respectively. The cumulative
number of square feet exited due to restructuring actions for exit costs and
restructuring was 8.4 million and 3.5 million, respectively.
3. Business Segment Reporting
The Company operates in six segments: Electronic Systems; Command, Control,
Communication and Information Systems; Technical Services (previously Training
and Services); Aircraft Integration Systems; Commercial Electronics; and
Aircraft. In keeping with the Company's on-going consolidation efforts to
further simplify its organizational structure, at the end of the prior fiscal
year, Raytheon Systems Company (RSC) was eliminated and the Defense Systems and
Sensors and Electronic Systems segments were combined into the new Electronic
Systems segment. Additionally, several small organizations from the former RSC
were combined with the Company's existing commercial electronics business.
Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation including the changes noted above, the breakout of previously
aggregated segments, the inclusion of previously unallocated goodwill in the
segments identifiable assets, and the addition of Corporate and Eliminations.
Segment net sales and operating income include intersegment sales and profit
recorded at cost plus a specified fee, which may differ from what the selling
entity would be able to obtain on external sales. Corporate and Eliminations
includes Company-wide accruals and over/under applied overhead that have not
been attributed to a particular segment and intersegment sales and profit
eliminations. In addition, the Engineering and Construction segment was
discontinued. Following is a brief description of each segment:
Electronic Systems includes Missile Systems, Air and Missile Defense
Systems, Air Combat and Strike Systems, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
Systems, Naval and Maritime Integrated Systems, and Tactical Systems.

options to purchase 22.8 million and 6.5 million shares of common stock for the
nine months ended October 1, 2000 and October 3, 1999, 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. Average common shares outstanding for diluted EPS for
the three months ended October 3, 1999 does not include options to purchase 18.6
million shares of common stock since their inclusion would have an antidilutive
effect on EPS.
The components of other comprehensive income for the Company generally include
foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments,
and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities classified as
available-for-sale. The computation of comprehensive income is as follows:

7. Discontinued Operations
In the third quarter of 2000, the Company completed the sale of its Raytheon
Engineers & Constructors (RE&C) subsidiary for approximately $73 million in
cash, net. The Company also retained approximately $30 million of cash on the
balance sheet of RE&C at closing. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company
retained the responsibility for performance of four large, fixed price
international turnkey projects that are close to completion, partially
indemnified the buyer on the completion of one other existing project, and
retained certain significant assets and liabilities. For the nine months ended
October 1, 2000, the Company recorded an estimated loss on disposal of $383
million pretax, or $265 million after-tax. Included in the loss on disposal of
discontinued operations was a gain on curtailment of the RE&C pension plans of
$35 million.
The sale of RE&C is subject to a purchase price adjustment based upon an audited
April 30, 2000 balance sheet that has not yet been completed. The Company does
not believe a material adjustment will be required.
The summary of operating results from discontinued operations is as follows:

8. Commitments and Contingencies
During October and November 1999, the Company and two of its officers were named
as defendants in class action lawsuits. In June 2000, four additional former or
present officers were named as defendants. 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 has filed a motion to dismiss.
The Company was also named as a nominal defendant and all of its directors at
the time (except one) were named as defendants in derivative lawsuits. The
derivative complaints contain allegations similar to those included in the above
complaints and further allege 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 complaints 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, liquidity, and 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 the defense business of Hughes Electronics Corporation
("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 the 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. Although the Company and Hughes
Electronics have been engaged in discussions in an attempt to resolve this
dispute, it now appears as though a negotiated settlement is not likely in the
foreseeable future based on the current position of the parties. The only
alternative to a negotiated settlement is binding arbitration, as provided in
the Separation Agreement. Concurrent with the negotiations, the parties are in
the process of selecting 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 expected reduction in purchase price. Any
payment received from Hughes Electronics as a result of a reduction in purchase
price will result in a corresponding reduction in goodwill and not be reflected
in the income statement unless the reduction in goodwill results in lower
amortization in future periods.
In March 2000, the Company and Hughes Electronics participated unsuccessfully in
a voluntary mediation pursuant to the alternative dispute resolution process set
forth in the 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. The Company and Hughes
Electronics have selected arbitrators to resolve the claim through binding
arbitration pursuant to the Separation Agreement. The arbitration is scheduled
for May 2001.
<PAGE>

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 made by TPF&C in providing administrative services
to the Hughes Plans. The complaint seeks damages in an amount to be determined
at trial.
The Company has also initiated a proceeding against Hughes Electronics pursuant
to the terms of the Separation Agreement seeking to recover costs incurred by
the Company resulting from errors in the administration of the Hughes Plans
which Hughes Electronics failed to disclose to the Company. Mediation is
scheduled for December 2000.
In addition, various claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the
normal course of business are pending or threatened against the Company. While
the ultimate liability from these proceedings is presently indeterminable, any
additional liability is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial position, liquidity, or results of operations after giving effect to
provisions already recorded.
9. Notes Payable and Long-term Debt
In March 2000, the Company issued $2.25 billion of long-term debt in a private
placement consisting of $200 million of floating rate notes due in 2002, $800
million of 7.9% notes due in 2003, $850 million of 8.2% notes due in 2006, and
$400 million of 8.3% notes due in 2010. Proceeds from the offering were used to
repay outstanding short-term debt, thereby extending the maturity of the
Company's debt obligations. In October 2000, the Company completed an exchange
offer to convert this debt to publicly registered securities.
The Company has on file a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange
Commission registering the issuance of up to $3.0 billion in debt and/or equity
securities. In August 2000, the Company issued $350 million of floating rate
notes based upon LIBOR due in 2001 under this registration statement in order to
refinance a portion of long-term debt that matured during the quarter.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated Results of Continuing Operations - Third Quarter 2000 Compared
with Third Quarter 1999
Net sales in the third quarter of 2000 were $4.2 billion versus $4.1 billion for
the same period in 1999. Excluding the $180 million revenue reduction resulting
from the 1999 third quarter charges, revenue declined slightly due to lower
volume in missiles and missile defense systems and the divestiture of the
Company's flight simulation business in the first quarter of 2000. Sales to the
U.S. Department of Defense were 54 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2000
versus 57 percent of sales in the third quarter of 1999. Total sales to the U.S.
government, including foreign military sales, were 69 percent of sales in the
third quarter of 2000 versus 68 percent of sales in the third quarter of 1999.
Total international sales, including foreign military sales, were 20 percent of
sales in the third quarter of 2000 versus 21 percent of sales in the third
quarter of 1999.

13
Gross margin in the third quarter of 2000 was $843 million or 20.3 percent of
sales versus $545 million or 13.2 percent of sales in the third quarter of 1999.
The increase in margin as a percent of sales was primarily due to the 1999 third
quarter charges of $442 million. During the third quarter of 2000, the Company
recorded a $25 million favorable adjustment to cost of sales to reflect changes
in estimate on restructuring initiatives that was more than offset by
unfavorable adjustments to contract-related assets, restructuring-related period
costs, and an $8 million restructuring charge at Commercial Electronics.
Administrative and selling expenses were $288 million or 6.9 percent of sales in
the third quarter of 2000 versus $361 million or 8.8 percent of sales in the
third quarter of 1999. The decrease in administrative and selling expenses was
the result of the Company's ongoing cost reduction initiatives.
Research and development expenses increased to $122 million or 2.9 percent of
sales in the third quarter of 2000 versus $115 million or 2.8 percent of sales
in the third quarter of 1999.
Operating income was $433 million or 10.4 percent of sales in the third quarter
of 2000 versus $69 million or 1.7 percent of sales in the third quarter of 1999.
The changes in operating income by segment are discussed below.
Interest expense, net in the third quarter of 2000 was $193 million compared to
$177 million in the third quarter of 1999. The increase was due to a higher
weighted-average interest rate on outstanding debt during the third quarter of
2000 as a result of the March 2000 issuance of $2.25 billion of long-term debt.
Income from continuing operations was $133 million in the third quarter of 2000,
or $0.39 per diluted share on 341.6 million average shares outstanding versus a
loss from continuing operations of $89 million in the third quarter of 1999, or
$0.26 per diluted share on 338.0 million average shares outstanding.
In the third quarter of 2000, the Company completed the sale of its Raytheon
Engineers & Constructors (RE&C) subsidiary for approximately $73 million in
cash, net. The Company also retained approximately $30 million of cash on the
balance sheet of RE&C at closing. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company
retained the responsibility for performance of four large, fixed price
international turnkey projects that are close to completion, partially
indemnified the buyer on the completion of one other existing project, and
retained certain significant assets and liabilities. Until all five of these
projects are completed, the Company will continue to monitor the cost estimates
for these projects on a quarterly basis given the risks inherent in fixed price
turnkey contracts. In the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded an
additional loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $28 million after-tax,
or $0.08 per diluted share. The additional loss on disposal was due primarily to
cost growth on the retained projects.
The sale of RE&C is subject to a purchase price adjustment based upon an audited
April 30, 2000 balance sheet that has not yet been completed. The Company does
not believe a material adjustment will be required.
Net income in the third quarter of 2000 was $105 million, or $0.31 per diluted
share versus a net loss of $163 million for the third quarter of 1999, or $0.48
per diluted share.
Total employment related to continuing operations was approximately 94,500 at
October 1, 2000, and approximately 97,600 at December 31, 1999. The decrease was
primarily a result of divestitures and the continuing restructuring initiatives
at the Company's defense and commercial electronics businesses.
<PAGE>
14
Electronic Systems had sales of $1.9 billion in the third quarter of 2000
compared with $2.0 billion in the third quarter of 1999. Operating income was
$296 million in the third quarter of 2000 versus $108 million a year ago.
Included in the third quarter 1999 results were charges of $220 million.
Excluding the 1999 third quarter charges, the decline in sales and operating
income was due to a decrease in volume for missiles and missile defense systems.
During the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a $21 million favorable
adjustment to cost of sales to reflect a change in estimate on restructuring
initiatives which was partially offset by restructuring-related period costs of
$14 million. The change in estimate was a result of higher employee attrition at
facilities where these actions have been completed.
Command, Control, Communication and Information Systems (C3I) had sales of $843
million in the third quarter of 2000 compared with $840 million in the third
quarter of 1999. Included in the third quarter 1999 results were charges of $73
million. Excluding the 1999 third quarter charges, sales were down due to the
divestiture of the flight simulation business. Operating income was $87 million
in the third quarter of 2000 compared with $1 million in the third quarter of
1999. During the third quarter of 2000, the Company recorded additional contract
adjustments on several communications-related programs. The Company will
continue to monitor the cost estimates for these programs on a quarterly basis
given the risks inherent in fixed price developmemt contracts.
Through C3I, the Company has an investment in Space Imaging LLC, a 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 $286 million of outstanding debt. As a result of
continued competitive pressures and current financial market conditions, Space
Imaging's business and financing plans are currently under review by the
Company and its other investors. At October 1, 2000, the Company's investment in
and other assets related to Space Imaging totaled approximately $85 million.
Technical Services had third quarter 2000 sales of $461 million versus $444
million in the third quarter of 1999. Operating income was $36 million in the
third quarter of 2000 compared with $21 million in the third quarter of 1999.
Included in the third quarter 1999 results were charges of $6 million.
Aircraft Integration Systems had sales of $277 million in the third quarter of
2000 compared with sales of $210 million in the third quarter of 1999. Operating
income was $11 million in the third quarter of 2000 compared with an operating
loss of $78 million in the third quarter of 1999. Included in the third quarter
1999 results were charges of $107 million. Operating income in the third quarter
of 2000 was negatively affected by further contract write-downs on the Boeing
Business Jet program. Excluding the charges described above, sales and operating
income were up slightly. The Company will continue to monitor the cost estimates
for the Boeing Business Jet program on a quarterly basis given the risks
inherent in fixed price custom aircraft completion contracts.
Commercial Electronics had sales of $156 million in the third quarter of 2000
compared with third quarter 1999 sales of $171 million. Operating loss was $15
million in the third quarter of 2000 compared with an operating loss of $33
million in the third quarter of 1999. Included in the third quarter 1999 results
were charges of $44 million. Operating income in the third quarter of 2000 was
negatively affected by an $8 million restructuring charge at Raytheon Marine's
High Seas Division as well as continuing investments in new technology ventures.
Raytheon Aircraft had third quarter 2000 sales of $749 million compared with
$706 million in the third quarter of 1999. The increase was due to higher
aircraft deliveries. Operating income was $40 million in the third quarter of
2000 compared with $75 million in the third quarter of 1999. Despite higher
sales, operating income was down primarily due to a contract cost adjustment on
a fixed price T-6A military trainer option recently exercised by the customer
and narrower spreads on customer financing due to higher interest rates. The
Company will continue to monitor the cost estimates for the T-6A program on a
quarterly basis given the risks inherent in longer-term fixed price purchase
options.

Nine Months 2000 Compared With Nine Months 1999
Net sales in the first nine months of 2000 were $12.5 billion, a decrease of 3.9
percent versus $13.0 billion for the same period in 1999. The decline in sales
was primarily due to lower volume in missiles and missile defense systems and
the divestitures of the Company's flight simulation business in the first
quarter of 2000 and its Cedarapids subsidiary in the third quarter of 1999.
Sales to the U.S. Department of Defense were 53 percent of sales in the first
nine months of 2000 versus 54 percent in the first nine months of 1999. Total
sales to the U.S. government in the first nine months of 2000 and 1999,
including foreign military sales, were 67 percent and 69 percent of sales,
respectively. Total international sales, including foreign military sales, were
21 percent of sales in the first nine months of 2000 versus 23 percent of sales
for the same period in 1999.
Gross margin in the first nine months of 2000 was $2,428 million or 19.4 percent
of sales versus $2,665 million or 20.5 percent of sales in the first nine months
of 1999. Included in the 1999 results were charges of $442 million. Excluding
the 1999 charges, the decrease in margin as a percent of sales was primarily due
to a decline in higher margin foreign direct programs, lower volume from missile
and missile defense systems, and lower margins at Raytheon Aircraft. During the
first nine months of 2000, the Company recorded $44 million favorable
adjustments to cost of sales to reflect changes in estimates on restructuring
initiatives that were more than offset by unfavorable adjustments to
contract-related assets.
Administrative and selling expenses were $916 million or 7.3 percent of sales in
the first nine months of 2000 versus $1,030 million or 7.9 percent of sales in
the first nine months of 1999. The decrease in administrative and selling
expenses was the result of the Company's ongoing cost reduction initiatives.
Research and development expenses increased to $395 million or 3.2 percent of
sales in the first nine months of 2000 from $361 million or 2.8 percent of sales
in the first nine months of 1999. The increase in research and development
expenses was due primarily to new program investments made during 2000, most
notably in connection with the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar
program at Electronic Systems.
Operating income was $1,117 million or 8.9 percent of sales in the first nine
months of 2000 versus $1,274 million or 9.8 percent of sales in the first nine
months of 1999. The changes in operating income by segment are discussed below.
Interest expense, net in the first nine months of 2000 was $558 million compared
to $526 million in the first nine months of 1999. The increase was due to higher
average debt levels and higher weighted-average interest rate on outstanding
debt during the first nine months of 2000 as a result of the March 2000 issuance
of $2.25 billion of long-term debt.
The effective tax rate was 43.6 percent in the first nine months of 2000 versus
41.8 percent in the first nine months of 1999. 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. The higher effective tax rate in the first nine months
of 2000 results from the impact of non-deductible amortization of goodwill on
lower taxable income.
Income from continuing operations was $308 million in the first nine months of
2000, or $0.91 per diluted share on 339.9 million average shares outstanding
versus $428 million in the first nine months of 1999, or $1.25 per diluted share
on 342.4 million average shares outstanding.
<PAGE>
16
Pursuant to the sale of RE&C, as described above, the Company recorded a loss
from discontinued operations in the nine months ended October 1, 2000 of $335
million after-tax or $0.99 per diluted share comprised of a $70 million
after-tax loss from discontinued operations and a $265 million after-tax loss on
disposal of discontinued operations. Included in the loss on disposal of
discontinued operations was a gain on curtailment of the RE&C pension plans of
$35 million.
The Company's net loss in the first nine months of 2000 was $27 million, or
$0.08 per diluted share versus net income of $332 million or $0.97 per diluted
share in the first nine months of 1999.
Electronic Systems had sales of $5.6 billion in the first nine months of 2000
compared with $6.0 billion in the first nine months of 1999. The decrease in
sales was due to a decrease in volume for missiles and missile defense systems.
Operating income was $688 million or 12.3 percent of sales in the first nine
months of 2000 versus $799 million or 13.2 percent of sales a year ago. Included
in the 1999 results were charges of $220 million. The decrease in operating
income was due to a decline in higher margin foreign direct programs, lower
volume from missiles and missile defense systems, and certain contract
adjustments which benefited 1999. During the first nine months of 2000, the
Company recorded $40 million of favorable adjustments to cost of sales to
reflect changes in estimates on restructuring initiatives.
Command, Control, Communication and Information Systems had sales of $2.5
billion in the first nine months of 2000 compared with $2.8 billion in the first
nine months of 1999. Sales were lower due to the divestiture of the flight
simulation business, the planned wind-down of certain international projects,
and lower volume from air traffic control programs. Operating income was $249
million or 9.8 percent of sales in the first nine months of 2000 compared with
$270 million or 9.7 percent of sales in the first nine months of 1999. The
decrease in operating income was due to lower volume, negative contract
adjustments on several communications-related programs, and other contract
adjustments which benefited 1999. Included in the 1999 results were charges of
$73 million.
Technical Services had sales of $1.3 billion in the first nine months of 2000
versus $1.4 billion in the first nine months of 1999. Operating income was $101
million or 7.5 percent of sales in the first nine months of 2000 compared with
$92 million or 6.6 percent of sales in the first nine months of 1999. Included
in the 1999 results were charges of $6 million.
Aircraft Integration Systems had sales of $878 million in the first nine months
of 2000 compared with sales of $793 million in the first nine months of 1999.
Sales from the Airborne Standoff Radar (ASTOR) contract accounted for the
increase. Operating income was $57 million or 6.5 percent of sales in the first
nine months of 2000 compared with an operating loss of $5 million in the first
nine months of 1999. Included in the 1999 results were charges of $107 million.
Excluding the 1999 charges, the decrease in operating income in 2000 was due to
cost growth on one particular program, contract write-downs on the Boeing
Business Jet Program, and positive contract settlements and termination payments
in 1999.
<PAGE>
17
Commercial Electronics had sales of $485 million in the first nine months of
2000 compared with $597 million in the first nine months of 1999. The decrease
in sales was due to the divestiture of Cedarapids in the third quarter of 1999.
There was an operating loss of $4 million in the first nine months of 2000
compared with an operating loss of $15 million in the first nine months of 1999.
Included in the nine months of 2000 operating loss was a $21 million favorable
settlement on a commercial training contract. Included in the 1999 results were
charges of $44 million. Contributing to the loss in the first nine months of
2000 were an $8 million restructuring charge at Raytheon Marine's High Seas
Division combined with volume shortfalls at that Division, the divestiture of
Cedarapids, and investments in new technology ventures.
Raytheon Aircraft (RAC) had sales of $2.4 billion in the first nine months of
2000 compared with $2.1 billion in the first nine months of 1999. The increase
was driven by higher deliveries. Operating income was $105 million or 4.4
percent of sales in the first nine months of 2000 compared with $201 million or
9.7 percent of sales in the first nine months of 1999. Despite higher sales,
operating income was down primarily due to a contract cost adjustment on a fixed
price T-6A military trainer option exercised by the customer in the third
quarter of 2000, higher production costs, pricing pressure on commuter aircraft,
the sale of finance receivables, narrower spreads on customer financing due to
higher interest rates, and the impact of SAP implementation on certain RAC
customer support operations. The Company continues to monitor the status of its
three new development programs at RAC - the certification schedule for the
Premier I aircraft, the first-flight schedule for the Horizon aircraft, and cost
management issues related to roll-out of the T-6A trainer aircraft. Based on the
current schedule, the Company believes that the Premier I will not be certified
by the FAA prior to the end of the year. Moreover, additional cost growth
or schedule delays on any of these important future programs or a downturn in
demand for RAC's commuter aircraft could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2000 was
$6 million versus net cash used of $1,335 million in the first nine months of
1999. Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was
$110 million in the first nine months of 2000 versus net cash used of $1,024
million in the first nine months of 1999. The increase in cash provided by
operating activities was due to better collection practices and working capital
management, accelerated collections on several large programs and lower
restructuring expenditures. Net cash used in operating activities from
discontinued operations was $104 million in the first nine months of 2000 versus
$311 million in the first nine months of 1999.
<PAGE>

Net cash used in investing activities was $114 million in the first nine months
of 2000 versus $202 million in the first nine months of 1999. Origination and
sale of financing receivables in the first nine months of 2000 was $784 million
and $666 million, respectively, versus $941 million and $804 million,
respectively, in the first nine months of 1999. Capital expenditures were $287
million in the first nine months of 2000 and 1999. Capital expenditures related
to continuing operations for the full year 2000 are expected to be approximately
$450 million.
The Company merged with the defense business of Hughes Electronics Corporation
("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 the 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. Although the Company and Hughes
Electronics have been engaged in discussions in an attempt to resolve this
dispute, it now appears as though a negotiated settlement is not likely in the
foreseeable future based on the current position of the parties. The only
alternative to a negotiated settlement is binding arbitration, as provided in
the Separation Agreement. Concurrent with the negotiations, the parties are in
the process of selecting 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 expected reduction in purchase price. Any payment
received from Hughes Electronics as a result of a reduction in purchase price
will result in a corresponding reduction in goodwill and not be reflected in the
income statement unless the reduction in goodwill results in lower amortization
in future periods.
In March 2000, the Company and Hughes Electronics participated unsuccessfully in
a voluntary mediation pursuant to the alternative dispute resolution process set
forth in the 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. The Company and Hughes
Electronics have selected arbitrators to resolve the claim through binding
arbitration pursuant to the Separation Agreement. The arbitration is scheduled
for May 2001.
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 made by TPF&C in providing administrative services
to the Hughes Plans. The complaint seeks damages in an amount to be determined
at trial.
The Company has also initiated a proceeding against Hughes Electronics pursuant
to the terms of the Separation Agreement seeking to recover costs incurred by
the Company resulting from errors in the administration of the Hughes Plans
which Hughes Electronics failed to disclose to the Company. Mediation is
scheduled for December 2000.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $49 million in the first nine
months of 2000 versus $1,229 million in the first nine months of 1999. Dividends
paid to stockholders in the first nine months of 2000 were $204 million versus
$201 million in the first nine months of 1999. The quarterly dividend rate was
$0.20 per share for the first three quarters of both 2000 and 1999.
In March 2000, the Company issued $2.25 billion of long-term debt in a private
placement consisting of $200 million of floating rate notes due in 2002, $800
million of 7.9% notes due in 2003, $850 million of 8.2% notes due in 2006, and
$400 million of 8.3% notes due in 2010. Proceeds from the offering were used to
repay outstanding short-term debt, thereby extending the maturity of the
Company's debt obligations. In October 2000, the Company completed an exchange
offer to convert this debt to publicly registered securities.
The Company has on file a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange
Commission registering the issuance of up to $3.0 billion in debt and/or equity
securities. In August 2000, the Company issued $350 million of floating rate
notes based upon LIBOR due in 2001 under this registration statement in order to
refinance a portion of long-term debt that matured during the quarter.
Total debt was $10.0 billion at October 1, 2000 compared to $9.8 billion at
December 31, 1999. Total debt, as a percentage of total capital, was 48.3
percent at October 1, 2000 and 47.1 percent at December 31, 1999.
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 $3.0 billion and $4.1 billion at October 1, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
respectively. At October 1, 2000 there was $100 million outstanding under these
lines of credit compared with $1.4 billion outstanding at December 31, 1999.
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 to support current operations.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Financial Market Risks
The following discussion covers quantitative and qualitative disclosures about
the Company's market risk. The Company's primary market exposures are to
interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
The Company meets its working capital requirements with a combination of
variable and fixed rate short and long-term financing. The Company enters into
interest rate swap agreements or treasury rate locks with commercial and
investment banks primarily to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on
financing arrangements. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward
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 and investment banks and are directly related
to a particular asset, liability, or transaction for which a firm commitment is
in place. The Company also sells receivables through various special purpose
entities and retains a partial interest that may include servicing 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 1, 2000 and October 3, 1999, which are subject to
interest rate risk resulting from a hypothetical increase in interest rates of
10 percent, was $3 million and $1 million, respectively, after-tax. The
hypothetical loss was determined by calculating the aggregate impact of a 10
percent increase in the interest rate of each variable rate financial instrument
held by the Company at October 1, 2000 and October 3, 1999, which is subject to
interest rate risk. Fixed rate financial instruments were not evaluated, as the
risk exposure is not material.

Accounting Standards
In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB
Statement No. 125 (SFAS No. 140). This accounting standard, which carries over
most of the provisions of FASB Statement No. 125, outlines the accounting and
disclosure requirements for transfers and servicing of financial assets, among
other guidance. The standard contains specific guidelines to distinguish
transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured
borrowings. The accounting provisions of SFAS No. 140 are effective for
transfers and servicing of financial assets occurring after March 31, 2001 while
the disclosure provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December
15, 2000. The adoption of SFAS No. 140 is not expected to have a material effect
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
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. In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, Accounting for
Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of
SFAS No. 133. This accounting standard amended the accounting and reporting
standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and hedging
activities. The adoption of SFAS No. 133, as amended, is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101), which
among other guidance, clarifies certain conditions to be met in order to
recognize revenue. In June 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101B which delayed the implementation of SAB 101
until the fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. The
implementation of SAB 101 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

Specifically, statements that are not historical facts, including statements
accompanied by words such as "believe," "expect," "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 actual
results may differ materially. Important factors that could cause actual results
to differ include, but are not limited to: differences in anticipated and actual
program results; risks inherent with large long-term fixed price contracts; the
ultimate resolution of contingencies and legal matters; the ability to realize
anticipated cost efficiencies; the ability to contain cost growth, particularly
at Raytheon Aircraft (RAC); timely development and certification of new
aircraft; the effect of market conditions, particularly as it affects the
general aviation market; the impact on recourse obligations of RAC due to
changes in the collateral values of financed aircraft, particularly commuter
aircraft; the ability to finance ongoing operations at attractive rates;
government customers' budgetary constraints; government import and export
policies; termination of government contracts; financial and governmental risks
related to international transactions; the integration of acquisitions; the
impact of competitive products and pricing; the availability of raw materials,
particularly at Commercial Electronics; and risks associated with the continuing
project obligations and retained assets and liabilities of Raytheon Engineers &
Constructors, 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 the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

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
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, 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 financial position or results of operations.
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.
The following describes new matters or developments of previously reported
matters that have occurred since filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. See the "Legal Proceedings" section
of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999
for a description of previously reported matters.
During October and November 1999, the Company and two of its officers were named
as defendants in fourteen purported class action lawsuits. Twelve of the
lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts; one was filed in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York; and one was filed in the United States District
Court for the District of Maryland (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 Massachusetts and the Southern District of New York Complaints
have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts (the "Court"). The Court appointed a lead plaintiff and, on June
12, 2000, a Consolidated and Amended Class Action Complaint ( the "Consolidated
Complaint") was filed, naming four additional former or present officers as
defendants and alleging a purported class period of October 7, 1998 through
October 12, 1999. On September 8, 2000, the Company and the individual
defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. Plaintiffs'
opposition to that petition is due on November 22, 2000.
The Company was also named as a nominal defendant and all of its directors at
the time (except one) were named as defendants in purported derivative lawsuits
filed on October 25, 1999 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in
and for New Castle County by Ralph Mirarchi and others (No. 17495-NC), and on
November 24, 1999 in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, Superior Court by John
Chevedden (No. 99-5782). On February 28, 2000, Mr. Chevedden filed another
derivative action in the Delaware Chancery Court entitled John Chevedden v.
Daniel P. Burnham et al (No. 17838-NC) and on March 22, 2000, Mr. Chevedden's
Massachusetts derivative action was dismissed. The Company anticipates that the
two Delaware actions (collectively, the "Derivative Complaints") will be
consolidated in the future. The Derivative Complaints contain allegations
similar to those included in the Complaints and further allege 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 Complaints and Derivative 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 has 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 not
reached a final decision with respect to this matter. An adverse decision
relating to this matter could ultimately have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

Operations - Financial Condition and Liquidity" and "Note 8 - Commitments and
Contingencies" of the Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this

regarding the following matters: (i) the determination of the final purchase
price for Hughes Defense (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. and
(iii) a proceeding against Hughes Electronics concerning errors in the
administration of the Hughes Plans
