Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

On February 16, 1996, Litton Industries Inc. (the "Company" or "Litton")
acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of PRC Inc. ("PRC"), a
subsidiary of The Black & Decker Corporation, pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement dated December 13, 1995. PRC designs, develops, integrates and
supports computer-based information systems and is also involved in the
re-engineering of business processes, mainly for the U.S. Government and its
agencies. This acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting.

The preliminary purchase consideration of $425 million was paid for in cash.
The Company borrowed funds, totaling $400 million, under a revolving credit
agreement with a group of banks. Such credit agreement, along with an amendment
thereto, was filed as Exhibit 4.3 to the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form
10-K. This agreement is further amended by Exhibit 4 to this filing. 

On February 8, 1996, the Company agreed to acquire Steerage Corp. ("Steerage"),
an investment partnership led by J.F. Lehman & Company. Steerage, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Sperry Marine Inc., provides advanced electronic
navigation and guidance systems to commercial and military customers for marine
and aircraft applications. Litton will issue approximately 2.2 million shares of
Common stock to affect this combination to be accounted for under the pooling of
interests method.  This transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of
the Company's fiscal year 1996.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


Board of Directors and Stockholder of PRC Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of the business and
operations of PRC Inc. (which were purchased by Litton Industries, Inc. on
February 16, 1996) as of December 31, 1995 and the related consolidated
statement of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1, Litton Industries, Inc. completed its purchase of the
business and operations of PRC Inc. from The Black & Decker Corporation on
February 16, 1996.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the
business and operations of PRC Inc. (which were purchased by Litton Industries,
Inc. on February 16, 1996) at December 31, 1995, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements present the consolidated financial
position and the consolidated results of operations of the business and
operations of PRC Inc. purchased by Litton Industries Inc. (Litton) on
February 16, 1996. Such business and operations of PRC Inc. purchased by Litton
are herein referred to as the "Company." Prior to February 16, 1996, the
Company was an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The Black & Decker
Corporation (Black & Decker).

On December 13, 1995, Black & Decker entered into an agreement with Litton to
sell the Company for $425 million in cash. The sale was completed on February
16, 1996. In connection with the sale, the Federal Trade Commission will require
the Company to divest its PMS400D contract with the U.S. Navy within 90 days of
the sale due to an organizational conflict of interest. This contract generated
revenues of $10,543 in 1995 and is not material to the financial position or
operations of the Company.

In connection with the sale of PRC, notes payable to Black & Decker of $197,700
and accrued interest thereon of $44,281 were contributed to the Company's equity
on January 16, 1996. The following table sets forth as of December 31, 1995 the
pro forma capitalization of the Company after giving effect to the contribution
of capital by Black & Decker:

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the entities
comprising the Company as described in Note 1. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions, in particular estimates of contract costs and revenues used in
the earnings recognition process, that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results inevitably will
differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the
financial statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
The majority of the Company's revenues are derived from cost plus fixed fee,
cost plus award fee, firm fixed price, fixed price incentive or time and
materials contracts.

Revenues from cost plus fixed or award fee contracts are recognized as costs are
incurred and include an estimate of applicable fees earned. Revenues from fixed
price and fixed price incentive contracts are recognized on the percentage of
completion method on the basis of costs incurred in relation to estimated total
cost or upon delivery of specific products or services, when appropriate.
Revenues from time and materials contracts are computed by multiplying the
number of direct labor hours expended in the performance of the contract by the
contract billing rates plus other billable direct costs. In certain
circumstances, revenues are recognized, when appropriate, to the extent that
work has been authorized and performed but formal contract amendments have not
been finalized.

Performance incentives are incorporated in certain contracts, which provide
increased or decreased revenues based on actual performance compared to
established targets. Incentives based upon cost performance are recorded
currently and other incentives and awards are recorded when the amounts can be
reasonably determined or are awarded. Provisions for estimated losses on
contracts are recorded when specifically identified.

RECEIVABLE VALUATION ALLOWANCES
Receivable valuation allowances include amounts to provide for doubtful accounts
and for the potential disallowance of billed or unbilled costs. Allowances to
provide for doubtful accounts are based on a specific review of past due
non-government accounts. Allowances to provide for the potential disallowance of
billed or unbilled costs are made based on ongoing assessments of contract
claims, disputes, Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) audits, and other matters
that could potentially result in claimed costs being determined to be ineligible
for reimbursement.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term
investments with maturities of three months or less.

INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and principally consist of
material acquired for performance under contracts. The cost of inventories is
primarily based on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.



                                      10
<PAGE>   11
PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
Prepaid expenses consist of purchased software licenses, rents, deferred
contract and other costs which are expected to be expensed within one year.

The cost of purchased software licenses and deferred contract costs are charged
to expense based on the revenue recognized or units delivered in relation to
total estimated revenues or units expected to be sold.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated on an historical cost basis, net of accumulated
depreciation. Property and equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful
life, on the straight-line basis except the double declining balance basis is
used for some computer equipment. In general, the estimated useful lives are as
follows:

              Computers and related equipment        4-5 years
              Furniture and office equipment         5-7 years
              Leasehold improvements                 Shorter of lease term or 
                                                       useful life
              Machinery and other equipment          5-7 years

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Costs associated with the development of new products and changes to existing
products are included in the consolidated statement of operations as indirect
operating costs, general and administrative expenses as incurred. Product
development costs that are specific to negotiated contracts and are directly
chargeable to and recoverable under the terms of the contracts are included in
direct costs as incurred. During 1995, research and development costs of $1,775
were expensed.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Software development costs incurred in connection with specific contracts are
charged to the contract and accounted for in accordance with the terms of the
contract. For products developed for sale outside a specific contract, costs
incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are charged to expense
as incurred. Costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility
but prior to general release, including interest costs have been capitalized.
Upon general release, capitalized software development costs are amortized using
the greater of 1) the ratio of current revenues to the total of current and
anticipated revenues or 2) the straight-line method over the product's estimated
useful life. Capitalized software development costs of pre-release software
utilized in contracts in process before the product is available for general
release have been amortized based on such contracts' percentage of revenues to
total anticipated revenues associated with the product. The carrying value of
the deferred development costs are periodically evaluated in consideration of
their net realizable value.

OTHER ASSETS
Other assets consist primarily of purchased software licenses, capitalized
development costs of software to be sold, and deferred contracts' costs related
to various contracts. Long-term deferred contract costs and purchased software
licenses are not expected to be charged to expense within one year.

GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the Company's allocable share of the excess of Black &
Decker's purchase price for the Company over the net assets acquired. The
allocated goodwill is being amortized on the straight-line basis over a period
of 40 years. In the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, goodwill is shown
net of accumulated amortization of $14,376.

                                      11
<PAGE>   12
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments with potential credit risk consist principally of
non-government receivables. At December 31, 1995, the Company had no significant
concentrations of credit risk.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share data has been omitted from the consolidated statements of
operations as the Company was operated as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary
of Black & Decker.

NOTE 8 - OTHER INCOME

Other income primarily represents management service fee income earned during
1995 from a former affiliate. This income will not be earned in the future.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

Black & Decker files a consolidated federal income tax return that includes all
of its eligible subsidiaries, including the Company. Black & Decker's
consolidated income tax expense is computed under the liability method. The tax
provision included in the consolidated statement of operations has been prepared
on the separate return method except that the change in the deferred tax asset
valuation reserve represents the push down of the portion of the change in the
Black & Decker consolidated deferred tax asset valuation reserve

attributable to the Company. Based upon the terms of the sale, Black & Decker's
tax basis in the assets and liabilities of the Company do not survive closing.

Deferred tax assets primarily represent tax basis intangibles with no
corresponding book basis and book reserves. As part of a consolidated group,
current taxes payable are reflected in the Amounts due to Black & Decker on the
consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has various defined contribution pension plans covering
substantially all employees, some of which provide for discretionary
contributions by the Company. The expense related to these pension plans for the
year ended December 31, 1995 was $5,167. In addition, the Company sponsors a
401(k) savings plan, which provides for a partial Company match of employee
contributions. Expenses relating to the savings plan for the year ended December
31, 1995 totaled $3,523. These plans are funded on a current basis. Accrued
liabilities for current contributions reflected on the balance sheet are $2,348.
No other significant post employment benefits are provided by the Company,
except as noted in the following paragraph.

The Company maintains an unfunded, supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP)
which provides defined benefits for certain former senior executives. All
participants in the SERP became fully vested upon Black & Decker's acquisition
of the Company. At December 31, 1995, the projected benefit obligation relating
to the SERP was $3,863 and is included in other long-term liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet; however, this liability will not be
assumed by Litton. The accumulated benefit obligation did not differ materially
from the projected benefit obligation. The determination of the projected
benefit obligations for 1995 assumed a discount rate of 7%. Net periodic pension
expense recognized by the Company in connection with the SERP for the year ended
December 31, 1995, consisting primarily of an interest component, was $400.
Prior to acquisition of the Company by Black & Decker, a trust was established
to distribute benefits of the SERP. The trust assets remain the property of
Black & Decker and are subject to the claims of general creditors in the event
of insolvency of Black & Decker. Accordingly, the assets of the trust have not
been included in the consolidated balance sheet of the Company. Earnings of the
trust for the year ended December 31, 1995 in the amount of $82, which accrue to
the benefit of Black & Decker, have been allocated to the Company by Black &
Decker through the intercompany account and have been reflected in the
consolidated statement of operations as a reduction of the net periodic pension
expense described above.

NOTE 11 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company receives services provided by Black & Decker that include cash
management, tax reporting, risk management, and internal audit. Allocated
expenses for such services, amounting to $3,750 for the year ended December 31,
1995, have been included in the Company's costs and expenses. The allocation of
these amounts for all years presented has been based on a method consistent with
Federal Acquisition Regulations and Cost Accounting Standards, which method
provides for the allocation of Black & Decker overhead based primarily on the
relationship of the Company's revenues, payroll and net tangible property to
Black & Decker's consolidated results and conforms to the allocation of Black &
Decker overhead which is recovered in revenue by the Company under government
contracts.

The Company issued a series of notes payable on demand to Black & Decker in the
amount of $290,500 in connection with the issuance of a dividend in 1989. The
notes bear interest at the rate of 12.25% per annum. The principal balance of
the notes at December 31, 1995 is $197,700.

The amounts due to Black & Decker included in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet represent net balances with Black & Decker as a result of various
intercompany transactions. There are no terms of settlement or interest charges
associated with this intercompany account with Black & Decker. The balance is
primarily the result of the Company's participation in Black & Decker's
centralized cash management program, wherein substantially all of the Company's
cash receipts are remitted to Black & Decker and all of the Company's cash
disbursements are funded by Black & Decker. In addition, certain specific
expenses are paid by Black & Decker on behalf of the Company, including certain
business and workers' compensation insurances, income taxes, and payroll taxes.
Charges to the Company for these expenses represent the actual cost incurred by
Black & Decker or are allocated based upon direct usage by the Company. An
analysis of transactions in this intercompany account for the year ended
December 31, 1995 is as follows:

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in a number of legal proceedings and claims with private
and governmental parties, including those relating to contract claims and
disputes, investigation of compliance with government contract regulations, and
employment related matters. In the opinion of management, based upon information
presently available, after consideration 



                                       15
<PAGE>   16
of existing accruals, none of these proceedings is likely to have a material
adverse effect upon the consolidated financial position of the Company.

CONTRACT COSTS SUBJECT TO AUDIT
All of the costs incurred by the Company that are directly or indirectly
allocable to United States government contracts or subcontracts are subject to
audit by the DCAA or other government agencies. Payments to the Company under
the terms of its cost reimbursable government contracts, which represent
approximately 35% of total revenues, are subject to adjustment (including
refunds to the government) in the event that claimed costs are determined to be
ineligible for reimbursement.

DCAA or other government agencies' audits of the Company's incurred costs have
been completed for all years through 1993. Final audit reports have been issued
and the Company has reached tentative agreement with the government for all
years through 1991. Future audits and final adjustments are not expected to have
a material effect on the Company's future financial position.

LEASE OBLIGATIONS
The Company is obligated under various non-cancelable leases for office
facilities and equipment. These leases generally provide for renewal options
and, in the case of facilities leases, for periodic rate increases based upon
economic factors. All non-cancelable leases with an initial term greater than
one year have been categorized as either capital or operating leases in
conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting
for Leases." Capital leases are immaterial in amount.

Future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases with initial terms
of one year or more as of December 31, 1995 are as follows:

LETTERS OF CREDIT AND GUARANTEES
As of December 31, 1995, and in the ordinary course of business, the Company was
contingently liable for $64.4 million of contract performance or bid bonds with
respect to contracts with state and local governments. Black & Decker has
provided guarantees and indemnities to the issuers of these contract performance
or bid bonds. In addition, Black & Decker has provided guarantees in the amount
of $152.5 million relating to the Company's performance or obligations under
various contracts. Under the terms of the sale agreement, Litton will assume
these guarantees within 60 days of the sale; Black & Decker is indemnified
against claims during this interim period.

                            LITTON INDUSTRIES, INC.
       INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The following pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared from
the historical financial statements of Litton, PRC and Steerage.  On February
16, 1996, Litton acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of PRC for a
preliminary purchase price of $425 million in cash. This acquisition will be
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The acquisition cost will
be allocated among the net assets of PRC based upon their estimated fair market
values. However, this allocation process has not yet been completed.
Accordingly, the excess purchase price over PRC's net book values is presented
as a separate caption in the pro forma combined balance sheet.

On February 8, 1996, Litton agreed to acquire Steerage, an investment
partnership led by J.F. Lehman & Company.  Litton will issue approximately
2.2 million shares of Common stock to affect the acquisition, which will be
accounted for under the pooling of interests method.  Accordingly, the amounts
presented herein represent historical amounts with certain reclassifications
made to conform with Litton's presentation.

The operations of PRC and Steerage for the 12 months ended June 30, 1995 have
been combined with Litton's operations for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995
and the operations for the six months ended December 31, 1995 have been combined
with Litton's operations for the six months ended January 31, 1996. Steerage
results for the prior periods have been excluded because Steerage was previously
subject to a purchase acquisition in November 1993; accordingly, the basis of
its net assets was adjusted to the then fair market values, rendering prior
period operating results incomparable. The following pro forma combined
statements of operations give effect to the combinations as if they had occurred
on August 1, 1994.  The pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the
combinations as if they had occurred on January 31, 1996.  The pro forma
adjustments described in the accompanying notes reflect preliminary estimates
and assumptions that management believes are reasonable in the circumstances.

The pro forma combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of
what the financial position or results of operations would have been if the
combinations had occurred on the above-mentioned dates. Additionally, they are
not indicative of future results of operations or financial position.  The pro
forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with Litton's
historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, along with PRC's
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995 included herein.

                            LITTON INDUSTRIES, INC.
           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 (1)  To record the acquisition of PRC for $25 million in cash and $400 million
      in long-term borrowings under the purchase method of accounting.

 (2)  To record issuance of Litton Common stock to affect the acquisition of
      Steerage under the pooling of interests method.

 (3)  To reflect repayment of Steerage's notes and term loan payable at
      acquisition.

 (4)  To reflect the mandatory redemption of Steerage's outstanding cumulative
      preferred stock at acquisition.

 (5)  The allocation of the excess PRC purchase price over the net assets
      acquired between tangibles, intangibles with a definite life and
      intangibles with an indefinite life has not been completed.  The pro forma
      statements of operations presented herein reflect the amortization of this
      excess amount over an estimated composite life of 30 years, net of PRC's
      historical goodwill amortization.

 (6)  To record interest expense on long-term borrowings incurred in connection
      with the PRC acquisition and reduction in interest income on the cash
      portion of the purchase price.  The estimated effective rates used were
      based on the weighted-average of the applicable rates in effect during
      fiscal year 1995 and the six months ended January 31, 1996, respectively.
      The effects of a .125% change in the interest rates would be approximately
      $500 thousand for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 and approximately
      $250 thousand for the six months ended January 31, 1996.

 (7)  To provide for income taxes on pro forma adjustments and PRC's earnings at
      an estimated combined statutory tax rate of 40%.

 (8)  Pro forma earnings per share is based on historical weighted average
      common shares outstanding and common stock equivalent shares plus the
      estimated number of shares, 2,200,000, to be issued in connection with the
      Steerage acquisition.  The historical number of primary and fully diluted

date.

Level II Status, Level III Status and Level IV Status exists.

        "Moody's" means Moody's Investors Service, Inc., and its successors.

        "Rating Agencies" means D&P, Moody's and S&P.

        "S&P" means Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, and its successors.

        "Status" refers to the determination of which of Level I Status, Level
II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status or Level V Status exists at any 
date.

        The credit ratings to be utilized for purposes of determining a Status
hereunder are those assigned to the senior unsecured long-term debt of the
Borrower without third-party credit enhancement, and any rating assigned to any
other debt of the Borrower shall be disregarded; provided that if at any time
the Borrower's senior unsecured long-term debt is rated by exactly two Rating
Agencies and the ratings assigned to such debt by such two Rating Agencies are
more than one full rating category apart, Status shall be determined based on a
rating one category higher than the lower of such two ratings (e.g., if the S&P
rating is BBB+, the Moody's rating is Baa3 and there is no D&P rating, then
Level III Status shall exist); provided further that if at any time the
Borrower's senior unsecured long-term debt, without third party credit
enhancement, is not rated by at least two Rating Agencies, then Status shall be
Level V Status. The rating in effect at any date is that in effect at the close
