1. The amounts included in this report are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
   management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the
   stated periods have been included. These adjustments are of a normal
   recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
   included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
   accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Certain
   reclassifications of prior period information were made for comparative
   purposes. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial
   statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
   thereto included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the
   fiscal year ended July 31, 1994. The results of operations for the three
   months ended October 31, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of operating
   results for the entire year.

                   PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
 
ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS
 
     Net earnings for the first quarter ended October 31, 1994 were $32.1
million, a 24% increase over earnings from continuing operations of $25.9
million for the same period of fiscal year 1994. Respective primary earnings per
share were $.68 and $.55. These improvements were primarily attributable to a
significant reduction in interest costs as a result of the early extinguishment
of certain subordinated debt in July 1994. Sales and operating profit for the
current quarter were $788.8 million and $68.4 million compared with $841.0
million and $69.6 million, respectively, for the same period a year ago. Results
of discontinued operations reported for the first quarter of fiscal year 1994
related to the operations of Western Atlas Inc. which was distributed in March
1994 to shareholders of Litton Common stock.
 
     Sales and operating profit for the Advanced Electronics segment were $362.9
million and $28.3 million for the current quarter compared with $396.1 million
and $28.7 million, respectively, for the first quarter of fiscal year 1994.
Although sales declined, earlier downsizing efforts enabled this segment to
achieve a higher operating margin. The near-term outlook for these businesses
includes continued focus on operating efficiencies and opportunities for
strategic acquisitions including the previously announced transaction involving
the Teledyne Electronic Systems division of Teledyne, Inc. The Company
anticipates finalizing this transaction during the second quarter of this fiscal
year. The Marine Engineering and Production segment reported comparable results,
with sales and operating profit of $372.5 million and $35.6 million.
Corresponding amounts for the prior year's first quarter were $391.4 million and
$36.7 million, respectively. Backlog for this segment at October 31, 1994 was
$3.33 billion, not including the options for two Aegis destroyers whose
construction the Company anticipates will be funded in the U.S. Navy's fiscal
year 1995 budget.
 
     As noted previously, net interest costs were significantly lower in the
current quarter as a result of the early extinguishment of certain subordinated
debt in July 1994. The in-substance defeasance was effected by the purchase of
U.S. Government obligations to provide sufficient cash flows to satisfy
scheduled interest payments and the eventual redemption of the debt on July 1,
1995.
 
     Cash and marketable securities increased to $128.2 million at October 31,
1994 from $117.1 million at the end of the previous fiscal year, after a net use
of cash of approximately $64 million to paydown short-term obligations during
the quarter. Strong cash flows from operations were the primary reason for the
increase. The Company also has available credit commitments of up to $400
million for its general use.
 
     During the current quarter, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits, and SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities. The adoption of these standards did not have an impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements. In October 1994, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 119, Disclosure about Derivative
Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which requires
disclosures concerning amounts, nature, and terms of such financial instruments.
The Company will include the required disclosures, to the extent applicable, in
its fiscal year-end 1995 reporting.
