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. These interim consolidated financial statements should
   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, 1995. The results of operations for the three months ended
   October 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the
   entire year.

4. On December 13, 1995, the Company signed a definitive purchase agreement to
   acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of PRC Inc.
   (PRC), a subsidiary of The Black & Decker Corporation, for approximately $425
   million in cash. PRC, with estimated annual revenues of over $700 million, is
   a diversified information technology company involved in systems management
   and integration. PRC designs, develops, integrates and supports
   computer-based information systems and is also involved in the re-engineering
   of business processes. The U.S. Government is a significant customer of PRC.
   This acquisition will complement and expand the base of the Company's
   existing command, control and communications business. The Company expects to
   add up to $400 million in debt as a result of this transaction which is
   anticipated to close in January 1996.

                   PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
 
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS
 
     Sales and operating profit amounted to $836.2 million and $74.1 million,
respectively, for the first quarter of the current fiscal year, compared with
$788.8 million and $68.4 million, respectively, for the prior year's first
quarter. Net earnings rose 14 percent to $36.7 million, compared with $32.1
million for the prior year period.
 
     The sales increase was primarily attributable to the Advanced Electronics
segment which reported sales of $400.7 million in the current period, compared
with $362.9 million for the prior year period. This segment benefited from the
acquisitions made during fiscal year 1995. The higher sales, along with the
effects of previous downsizing efforts, contributed to improved operating profit
for the segment. Backlog for this segment rose to $1.82 billion at October 31,
1995 from $1.75 billion at July 31, 1995. The Marine Engineering
and Production segment achieved comparable sales, while operating margin
increased slightly. Current
construction activities include six Aegis guided missile destroyers and two
multipurpose amphibious assault ships. Marine Engineering and Production backlog
was $2.97 billion at the end of the current quarter compared with $3.31 billion
at July 31, 1995. The Interconnect Products segment also contributed with
improved sales and operating profit as a result of strong demand for its
electronics-related products.
 
     The Company completed the quarter with $211.9 million in cash and
marketable securities, compared with $110.7 million at July 31, 1995. Management
believes that cash flow from operations, along with available borrowing
capacity, will be sufficient to meet operating requirements.
 
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". This Statement establishes financial accounting and reporting
standards for stock-based employee compensation plans using a fair value based
method. However, SFAS 123 allows an entity to continue to measure compensation
cost using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees". The Company anticipates continuing to measure compensation
cost in accordance with the provisions of APB 25 and will make the pro forma
disclosures required by SFAS 123 in its financial statements for fiscal year
1997.
 
     On December 13, 1995, the Company signed a definitive purchase agreement to
acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of PRC Inc., a
subsidiary of The Black & Decker Corporation, for approximately $425 million in
cash. The Company expects to add up to $400 million in debt as a result of this
acquisition, which will be accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.

LITTON PLANS PURCHASE OF PRC INC.


        WOODLAND HILLS, CA, December 13 -- Litton Industries, Inc. has signed a
definitive purchase agreement for Litton's purchase of PRC Inc. from The Black
& Decker Corporation for approximately $425 million in cash.

        Located in McLean, Virginia, PRC is a diversified information
technology company involved in systems management and integration. PRC designs,
develops, integrates and supports computer-based information systems and
re-engineers business processes for the U.S. government, commercial customers
and state and local governments. The business has estimated 1995 sales of
approximately $720 million.

        The transaction is subject to review by government regulatory agencies. 

        Litton Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John M. Leonis said, "The
acquisition of PRC will add significant capabilities in the area of
information technology and will particularly enhance our existing command,
control and communications (C3) business. Litton is a C3 systems integrator, an
expertise that is driven by developments in the information technology arena. 
PRC is a major supplier of information products and services to growing 
government markets. The combination of our businesses will enhance Litton's 
ability to provide more comprehensive service to our C3 customers, while 
expanding the capabilities of our other defense electronics businesses.

        "This purchase will continue the execution of our strategy to grow by
acquisition," Leonis said. "In fiscal 1995 we acquired businesses with annual
revenues of $280 million. To date in fiscal 1996, including PRC, we have
announced further transactions with approximately $800 million in annual
revenues."

        Litton is a leader in worldwide technology markets for advanced
electronic and defense systems, and a major designer and builder of surface
combat ships for the U.S. Navy and allied nations.
