on Schedule 14D-1, dated March 8, 1994 (the "Schedule 14D-1"), of Martina
Marietta Corporation, a Maryland corporation ("Parent") and MMC Acquisition

ITEM 10  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED


The response to Item 10 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

        Litigation

        On or about March 7, 1994, a putative class action was filed in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, on behalf of the
shareholders of Grumman Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Company"),
alleging causes of action arising out of the proposed acquisition of the
Company by Parent:  Croyden Associates, et al. v. Grumman Corp., et al., Index
No.  94-005796.  On or about March 8, 1994, a putative class action was filed
in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, on behalf of
the Company's shareholders, alleging causes of action arising out of the
proposed acquisition of the Company by Parent:  Allen M. Olender, et al. v.
Grumman Corp., et al.  On or about March 11, 1994, a putative class action was
filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau, on
behalf of the Company's shareholders, alleging causes of action arising out of
the proposed acquisition of the Company by Parent:  John Mezzasalma v. Grumman
Corp., et al., Index No. 94-006300.

        The defendants in the actions identified above are the Company, Parent
and each of the directors of the Company.  The lawsuits allege substantially
similar causes of action for breaches of fiduciary duty against the Company and
the Board, and allege that Parent aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary
duty.  The actions seek, inter alia, to enjoin the proposed transactions with
Parent on the grounds that the consideration to be paid is inadequate and
unfair and that the Board has failed to maximize shareholder value, to rescind
any transactions effectuated by defendants, and monetary damages.
