Cautionary Statement
Certain statements made in this report constitute forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
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," "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 ; 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 Raytheon Aircraft 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.
