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 (also see Note 5).  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, 1993.  The
     results of operations for the six months ended January 31, 1994 are not
     necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year.

               LITTON INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1994
                                 (continued)


4.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1993, the Company adopted, effective   
    as of the beginning of the fiscal year, the provisions of Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, Employers' Accounting for
    Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.  The Company elected immediate
    recognition of the transition liability for such benefits and the resultant
    cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle amounted to $106.7
    million, net of tax.  Financial information for the six months of fiscal
    year 1993 has been restated for the cumulative effect of a change in
    accounting principle.

5.  The consolidated financial statements of Litton Industries, Inc. and
    related notes thereto have been restated to present the businesses to be
    distributed, the operations of Western Atlas Inc. ("WAI"), as discontinued
    operations (also see Note 6).  Six million dollars of the Company's
    corporate interest cost have been attributed to WAI and, therefore,
    reclassified to discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated
    Statements of Operations for each of the six months ended
    January 31, 1994 and 1993.

    Results of WAI for the second quarter of fiscal year 1994 included special
    charges of $222.2 million, pre-tax, or $163 million, net of tax.
    Approximately $126 million of these charges represents the write-off of
    intangible assets of the Core Laboratories Division ("Core") of Western
    Atlas International, Inc. ("WAII").  These charges were recorded to reflect
    the net realizable value of Core in connection with WAI's decision to sell
    Core and to provide for obsolescence of lower technology vessels, equipment
    and tools and the consolidation of facilities.  Results for the second
    quarter of fiscal year 1994 also included transitional costs of
    implementing new technologies in the oilfield services operations and, to a
    lesser extent, introductory costs of new products and services in the
    industrial automation systems operations.

    Also in the second quarter of fiscal year 1994, WAI purchased from
    Dresser Industries, Inc. ("Dresser") its 29.5% minority interest in WAII
    for $358  million in cash and four subordinated notes of $50 million each
    which  mature, respectively, in each of the four years commencing in 1998. 
    The notes bear interest at 7 1/2%, payable semiannually.  The purchase
    price included goodwill of $278 million, which will be amortized over a
    period of forty years.  Additionally, WAI purchased the business and
    substantially all of the assets of Halliburton Company's geophysical
    services business for an estimated purchase price of $190 million, of which
    $100 million was paid in cash and the remainder in notes bearing interest
    at 5.65%, payable semiannually, maturing over periods of three and one-half
    to four years following the closing date of the transaction.  The cash used
    to effect these transactions was advanced by Litton using existing cash and
    certain short-term borrowings of approximately $250 million.  Such funds
    will be reimbursed to the Company upon distribution of Western Atlas Inc.
    Common stock to Litton shareholders, along with an additional $100 million
    for certain other intercompany indebtedness.  The Company will use a
    portion of these funds to repay any outstanding portion of the short-term 
    borrowings of approximately $250 million.  Total receivable from WAI 
    at January 31, 1994 amounted to $567.7 million.

6.  On March 4, 1994, subsequent to the date of this report, the Company's
    Board of Directors declared a dividend in the form of a distribution of
    100 percent of the Common stock of Western Atlas Inc. to holders of Litton

    Shareholders of record as of March 14, 1994 will receive one share of
    Western Atlas Inc. Common stock for each share of Litton Common stock
    held. This transaction will be reported by Litton as a tax-free dividend
    for tax reporting purposes.

On March 4, 1994, subsequent to the date of this report, the Company's
Board of Directors declared a dividend in the form of a distribution of 100
percent of Western Atlas Inc. Common stock to holders of Litton Common stock,
payable on March 17, 1994 (see Note 6 of Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).  The
Western Atlas Common stock is to be distributed on the basis of one share of
Western Atlas Common stock for each share of Litton Common stock held on the
Record Date of March 14, 1994.  In the Company's consolidated financial
statements, the operations of WAI have been reported as discontinued
operations.  Accordingly, the accounts of WAI have been reclassified to one
line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and included in earnings
(loss) of the Company as earnings (loss) from discontinued operations.

Results of Continuing Operations:

Continuing operations are composed of the defense/electronics and marine
operations and the interconnect product businesses.  The Company reported
earnings of $23.4 million and $49.3 million for the second quarter and six
months ended January 31, 1994, respectively.  The comparable amounts for fiscal
year 1993 were $18.4 million and $42.6 million, respectively, exclusive of the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.  The improvement in the
current year periods was primarily attributable to the significant reduction in
interest expense pursuant to the conversion of substantially all of the
Company's zero coupon convertible subordinated notes into Litton Common stock,
following the call of the notes for redemption in the previous year's fourth
quarter.  Sales and operating profit for the second quarter of the current
fiscal year were $803.9 million and $64 million, respectively, compared with
$753.9 million and $62.4 million, respectively, for the second quarter of
fiscal year 1993.  For the six month period, sales and operating profit were
comparable with those of the previous fiscal year.

The Marine Engineering and Production segment reported sales and operating
profit of $315 million and $29.4 million, respectively, for the second
quarter of the current year, compared with $273.7 million and $26.3
million, respectively, for second quarter of fiscal year 1993.  For the six
months ended January 31, 1994, sales and operating profit were $706.4 million
and $66.1 million, respectively, compared with $645.6 million and $61 million,
respectively, for the same period of fiscal year 1993.  These increases were
due mainly to a higher level of activity on certain long-term contracts. 
Backlog for this segment amounted to $4.1 billion at January 31, 1994. The
Advanced Electronics segment reported sales and operating profit of $439.7
million and $31.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 1994, compared
with $421.4 million and $30.8 million, respectively, for the previous year's
second quarter.  Sales and operating profit for the six months of the current
fiscal year were $835.8 million and $60.2 million, compared with $860.9 million
and $63.6 million, respectively, for the six months of fiscal year 1993.
Although pressures on defense spending are continuing, this segment experienced
a slight improvement in sales and operating profit in the second quarter

compared with prior year's second quarter.  Backlog for this segment at January
31, 1994 of $1.8 billion was substantially comparable with that at fiscal year
end 1993 of $1.9 billion.

Net interest was significantly lower in the current year periods due primarily
to a decrease in interest expense.  As discussed above, the June 28, 1993 call
for redemption of the zero coupon convertible subordinated notes led to a
significant reduction in interest expense in the current year. Additionally,
interest income for the second quarter and six months of the current year was
higher due mainly to higher average invested cash balances.

In addition to cash and marketable securities of $257 million at January 31,
1994, the Company will be reimbursed, on the Distribution date, by WAI for funds
used in payment of the cash portion of $358 million of the purchase price for
the acquisition of Dresser's minority interest in WAII and in payment of the
cash portion of $100 million of the purchase price for the acquisition of the
geophysical services business of Halliburton Company (see Note 5 of Item 1 of
this Form 10-Q).  The Company will also receive $100 million from WAI for
certain other intercompany indebtedness.  Total receivable from WAI amounted to
$567.7 million at January 31, 1994.  The short-term borrowings of approximately
$250 million obtained by the Company in connection with the above described
transactions will be fully repaid by the Distribution date.  These borrowings
were obtained under credit commitments which provided for borrowings of up to
$700 million and which will terminate on the Distribution date.  On February 26,
1994, subsequent to the date of this report, these borrowings were partially
repaid and the remainder replaced by a promissory note to a bank totalling
approximately $175 million, which the Company will repay on the Distribution
date.  Effective on the Distribution date, the Company will have replacement
credit commitments which will provide for borrowings of up to $400 million for
general use.

Discontinued Operations:

In the second quarter ended January 31, 1994, WAI recorded special charges of
$222.2 million, pre-tax, or $163 million after tax.  Approximately $126 million
of these charges represents the write-off of intangible assets of Core.
These charges were recorded to reflect the net realizable value of Core in
connection with WAI's decision to sell Core and to provide for obsolescence
of lower technology vessels, equipment and tools and the consolidation of
facilities.  Results for the second quarter also included transitional costs of
implementing new technologies in the oilfield services operations and, to a
lesser extent, introductory costs of new products and services in the
industrial automation systems operations.

Also in the second quarter of fiscal year 1994, WAI purchased from Dresser
its 29.5% minority interest in WAII for $358 million in cash and four
subordinated notes of $50 million each.  WAI also purchased the business and
substantially all of the assets of Halliburton Company's geophysical services
business for an estimated purchase price of $190 million, of which $100 million
was paid in cash and the remainder in notes.  As previously discussed, the cash
used to effect these transactions was advanced by Litton and will be reimbursed
to Litton on the Distribution date along with an additional $100 million for
certain other intercompany indebtedness.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 1993, Litton Systems, Inc. ("LSI"), a subsidiary
of the Company, is a defendant in a civil suit pending in the United States
District Court for the Central District of California brought under the
so-called qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act, which permit an
individual to bring suit in the name of the Government and share in any
recovery received. This action was filed by James Carton, a former employee of
such subsidiary, and a nonprofit corporation calling itself "Taxpayers Against
Fraud."  In March, 1989, the Government intervened in the action, assuming
principal responsibility for its prosecution.  The Government has alleged
violations of the False Claims Act, payment by mistake, unjust enrichment and
fraud.

On July 23, 1992, the District Court granted plaintiff's motions for partial 
summary judgement.  In doing so, the Court ruled that Litton Computer
Services ("LCS"), a division of LSI, had violated its Government contracts with
respect to its cost accounting system, and its disclosure requirements to the
Government pertaining to that system at its Woodland Hills, California, data
processing center ("LCS-WH"). The Court also ruled that any claims by LSI
directly or indirectly to the Government from August 1, 1981 to July 15, 1988
containing any amounts for LCS-WH costs, for which claims have, in fact, been
increased because of the use of the then existing cost accounting system, are
"false" under the False Claims Act.  In August, 1992, LSI moved the Court to
reconsider its July 23, 1992, rulings.  On February 11, 1994, the Court denied
the motions for reconsideration. LSI has requested the Court to certify these
rulings for appeal and is awaiting the Court's action.  A trial date has been
set for June 7, 1994.
