                                     PART I
 
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
                        GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
     Loral Corporation (the "Company" or "Loral") was incorporated in New York
in 1948. Through its subsidiaries and divisions, the Company is a leading
supplier of defense electronics systems, components and services to U.S. and
allied defense departments. The Company's principal business areas are:
electronic combat; training and simulation; command, control, communications and
intelligence ("C3I")/reconnaissance; tactical weapons; systems integration; and
space systems. The Company has achieved an incumbent position on a wide range of
existing programs through internal growth and development and a series of
acquisitions focused on its core technologies. Loral's business strategy is to
emphasize upgrades of existing weapons systems, concentrate on further
developing its core of advanced technologies, generate an increasing proportion
of its sales from foreign customers and selectively extend the Company's
proprietary technologies into non-military applications, such as systems
integration, satellite-based telecommunications, medical diagnostic imaging
systems, network management, data archiving, and information systems and
services.
 
     Effective January 1, 1994, Loral acquired Federal Systems Company, a
division of International Business Machines Corporation, for $1,503,500,000 in
cash, not including acquisition costs. Federal Systems is a leading systems
integrator and supplier of advanced information technology products and services
to defense and non-defense agencies worldwide.
 
                               BUSINESS SEGMENTS
 
     The Company operates primarily in one industry segment, defense
electronics.
 
                                    PRODUCTS
 
Electronic Combat
 
     Loral is a leading producer of systems that detect, jam and deceive hostile
radars and radar and infrared guided weapons and detect and analyze surface and
submarine threats. Loral's electronic combat systems are used in the protection
of U.S. and allied aircraft and antisubmarine warfare, antisurface warfare,
airborne early warning, and for electronic support measures.
 
     Loral manufactures the ALR-56 family of advanced, programmable radar
warning systems. The ALR-56C and ALR-56M are utilized aboard U.S. Air Force and
allied F-15 and F-16 jet fighter aircraft, respectively. Loral has sold its
Rapport II and III (ALQ-178) fully integrated airborne radar warning and
electronic jamming systems to Israel, Belgium and Turkey for the F-16, and has
developed an advanced version called the ALQ-202.
 
     Loral supplies the Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) targeting and weapon
delivery pod aboard U.S. and allied F/A-18 strike jets. This system permits
aircrews to deliver smart weapons to selectively identified high value targets
through laser rangers and target designators.
 
     Loral is the prime contractor for the U.S. Navy's LAMPS MK III helicopter
for antisubmarine warfare, antisurface warfare and airborne early warning, and
for a similar system, the EH101/Merlin, for the United Kingdom's Ministry of
Defence. The Company also produces the Electronic Support Measures system for
the U.S. Air Force's B-2 stealth bomber; a day/night adverse weather missions
system for the MC-130H Combat Talon II aircraft; and the central computer for
the F-15.
 
     Loral's AAR-47 uses infrared sensing technologies to warn U.S. Navy and
Marine helicopters of hostile missile threats. Loral's ALQ-157, Matador and
Challenger infrared countermeasures systems emit infrared energy pulses that
counter heat-seeking missiles by directing them away from aircraft, naval
vessels and
 
                                        1
<PAGE>   3
 
armored ground vehicles. Loral also produces antenna assemblies and systems for
airborne warning aboard tactical aircraft, such as the E-2C.
 
Training and Simulation
 
     Loral's training systems provide simulated, realistic battlefield
environments that assist air, land and sea forces in achieving and maintaining
combat readiness as well as aiding in the establishment and validation of
requirements for new systems and upgrades. Loral produces a variety of
simulators, including weapons systems simulators, virtual reality simulators,
and distributed interactive simulators.
 
     Loral's operational flight and weapons systems trainers simulate F-15 and
F-15E jet aircraft avionics under combat conditions. Loral is also developing a
comprehensive family of weapons systems trainers, courseware and mission
rehearsal devices for the Special Operations Forces Aircrew Training System
(SOF-ATS). The Company has a contract to assess pilot training requirements for
the U.S. Air Force's new F-22 fighter. Loral is developing full mission
simulators that combine flight weapon systems and mission training for Sweden's
JAS-39 multi-role combat aircraft.
 
     Loral's Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) is at the
forefront of a family of laser-based training systems, including the
Air-to-Ground Engagement System (AGES), the Precision Gunnery Training System
(PGTS), Simulated Area Weapons Effect (SAWE), Precision Range Integrated
Maneuver Exercise (PRIME) and Mobile Automated Instrumentation Suite (MAIS).
These systems are used to train and evaluate ground combat troops and military
equipment. The equipment simulates the effect of weapons fire through eye-safe,
encoded laser beams. Detector cells and electronic decoding systems replicate
target vulnerability. Data is transmitted to a central station to allow review
of combat performance.
 
     Loral is a principal developer of netted simulators for the U.S. Army.
Loral operates and maintains simulator networks for ground vehicle and airborne
platform training at Fort Knox and Fort Rucker under the Army's Advanced
Distributed Simulation Technology Program. These simulators are linked to each
other and to combat training ranges including ranges operated by the Company.
 
     Loral's Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) provides the U.S. Army with a
computer-based trainer that simulates vehicles, weapon systems and dismounted
infantry in a virtual battlefield environment. The Company is prime contractor
for the MATBAT tank gunnery training system to provide realistic battlefield
conditions for the Israeli Defense Forces.
 
     Loral has developed for the U.S. Navy a laser-guided training round, which
simulates the operation of the Paveway II bomb, providing live-fire training for
A-6 and F/A-18 aircrews at one-fifth the cost of an actual round.
 
     Loral operates and maintains the U.S. Navy's and Air Force's primary pilot
training ranges and electronic warfare ranges, provides instructors for
classroom training, and supplies sophisticated avionics and undersea simulators.
Loral's Simulator Device Development Support program is upgrading electronic
warfare simulators at the Naval Weapons Center at China Lake.
 
Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence/Reconnaissance
 
     Loral offers systems integration, operations management and engineering
services, post-deployment systems support, military satellite communication
terminals, information processing and display hardware, information management
software, secure tactical communications instruments and telemetry equipment to
address a broad spectrum of strategic and tactical C3I requirements.
 
     Loral is the principal technical support contractor for the Space Defense
Operations Center at Cheyenne Mountain for the U.S. Space Command, which
monitors orbiting space systems to alert the U.S. and its allies to potential
attack. Loral is producing the Rapid Execution and Combat Targeting system,
which is modernizing the Minuteman missile launch control centers. Loral is also
providing engineering support, systems integration, and operations and

tactical commanders on a near real-time basis.
 
     Loral provides hardware support, software maintenance, sustaining
engineering and on-site operational services in support of the U.S. Air Force's
Global Positioning System. Loral is also responsible for system development,
software maintenance, and engineering support for the U.S. Air Force's fixed and
mobile Launch Detection System.
 
     Loral produces mil-spec and ruggedized general-purpose computers and
processors used in military systems, such as ground-launched and sea-launched
cruise missiles, the Trident AFLOAT System and the MILSTAR communications
programs. Loral also produces the Associative Processor (ASPRO), a parallel
processing computer for command and control aboard the E-2C aircraft and for
over-the-horizon targeting by U.S. submarines. Loral supplies antisubmarine
warfare and combat control systems for submarines and surface ships, including
the AN/BSY-1 combat system for the U.S. Navy's SSN 688 class attack submarines
and portions of the AN/BSY-2 combat control system for the Navy's SSN-21 attack
submarines, the Combat Control System MK3 for the Royal Australian Navy's Type
471 SSK submarines, and elements of the SQQ-89 surface ship ASW combat control
system.
 
     Loral's information and graphics display systems provide interactive access
to real-time information on ground and shipboard platforms as well as aircraft,
such as the E-2C, P-3C, S-3, F-14 and other U.S. Navy aircraft. Loral's EMR and
instrumentation telemetry systems include airborne transmitters, receivers, data
links, transponders and signal encoders, which are used in tracking, ranging,
data acquisition and command and control for operations of space vehicles and
missiles. Loral's instrumentation products, primarily the System 500, provide
high-speed real-time processing in testing and analyzing data from advanced
avionics as well as from missile and satellite sources.
 
     Loral's reconnaissance systems utilize advanced electronic imaging,
communications and information processing technologies to provide integrated
tactical battlefield information and navigation and targeting capability in
airborne platforms for the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marines. Loral employs
mercury cadmium telluride, platinum silicide and charge-coupled device
technologies required for the infrared ("IR") and electro optical ("EO") focal
plane arrays that are at the heart of night vision and all-weather cameras.
Loral's sensing and imaging products are a major component of the Advanced
Tactical Air Reconnaissance System (ATARS), the Long-Range Oblique Photography
System (LOROPS), the F-3050 tactical reconnaissance pod and a tactical
reconnaissance system for German Tornado aircraft.
 
     Loral also manufactures and sells commercial data and voice recorders, the
indestructible "black boxes" mandated by the FAA for commercial and general
aviation aircraft.
 
     Loral is producing the Medical Diagnostic Imaging System which extends the
Company's high-volume data storage and retrieval technologies into the medical
marketplace for DoD, VA and commercial hospitals.
 
Tactical Weapons
 
     Loral produces the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) for the U. S. Army.
This weapon system spreads submunitions over a one kilometer area and was used
extensively in Operation Desert Storm. Loral also produces the Army Tactical
Missile System (ATACMS). Fired from the MLRS launcher, ATACMS provides a long
range tactical missile. Loral will also test a long-range ship-fired version of
ATACMS so the U.S. Navy can evaluate the missile for fire support missions. MLRS
has substantial international markets, and has been purchased by France,
Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Bahrain and Japan.
The Company also expects an international market for ATACMS.
 
     Loral has developed the Extended Range Intercepter missile (ERINT), a
kinetic energy, high-altitude anti-missile missile that destroys its target
through force of impact without explosives. The system has been selected by the
U.S. Army for its PAC-3 Theater Missile Defense upgrade of the Patriot Missile
System. Loral is also developing the LOSAT missile, a low-cost kinetic energy
antitank missile.
 
                                        3

     Loral's EO and IR sensors, processing technologies and advanced algorithms
are employed in a wide range of tactical weapons and weapons guidance systems.
Loral's IR sensors have been selected for the Theater High-Altitude Area Defense
(THAAD) anti-tactical missile detection and interception system.
 
     Loral's guidance programs include the Digital Scene Matching Area
Correlation (DSMAC) system, which permits Tomahawk cruise missiles to direct
themselves for long distances over enemy terrain, complete missile guidance
control units for air-defense systems and gyro-optic assemblies for thermal
imaging missiles, and air-to-ground weapons. Loral is also a prime contractor
for sales to certain U.S. allies of the Chaparral air-defense system, for which
it manufactures the entire missile and fire control system. Loral also produces
the Sidewinder air-to-air missile; the AIM 9M and the AIM 9P.
 
     Loral is under contract from the U. S. Marine Corps to develop a
short-range antitank weapon, the Predator, which is a man-portable
fire-and-forget weapon system. The Company's Vertical Launch Antisubmarine
Rocket (VLA) is in production for the U. S. Navy and Japan.

constellation of 48 satellites, subject to receiving local licensing authority
such as is pending before the Federal Communications Commission, is expected to
be operational in 1998 and will offer low-cost worldwide digital wireless
telecommunications services, including voice, data, paging, facsimile and
geolocation services, to telephones and data terminals in areas currently not
served or underserved by existing telecommunications systems. The system will
allow existing cellular carriers to extend and enhance their provision of
telecommunications services to new and current users.
 
                                   CUSTOMERS
 
     Substantially all of the Company's products are sold to agencies of the
United States Government, primarily the Department of Defense, to foreign
government agencies or to prime contractors or subcontractors thereof. In fiscal
1994, approximately 90% of the Company's sales was derived directly or
indirectly from defense contracts for end use by the United States and foreign
governments. Sales to domestic customers represented 86% of total revenue in
fiscal 1994 and 1993. Sales to the U.S. Army, Air Force and Navy accounted for
23%, 18% and 11%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated sales for fiscal
1994, and 21%, 22% and 9%, respectively, for fiscal 1993. The majority of the
Company's remaining domestic sales were to prime contractors for end use by the
U.S. Government and other U.S. Government agencies.
 
     For information concerning international programs and sales to foreign
governments, see Foreign Sales below.
 
                                    BACKLOG
 
     Backlog at March 31, 1994, was approximately $6.5 billion, compared with
$3.9 billion at March 31, 1993. Approximately 55% of the backlog at March 31,
1994, is expected to be shipped during fiscal 1995.
 
     Of the backlog at March 31, 1994, approximately $3.5 billion was directly
or indirectly for defense contracts for end use by the U.S. Government and an
additional $530 million for contracts to other U.S. Government agencies. Backlog
for the U.S. Army, Air Force and Navy accounted for 17%, 13% and 9%,
respectively, of total backlog at March 31, 1994.
 
     Approximately $2.5 billion of the backlog consisted of orders by foreign
governments and contractors, primarily for defense contracts in various allied
nations, representing 38% of total backlog at March 31, 1994.

                                  COMPETITION
 
     The Company faces intense competition in all its product areas. A number of
the Company's competitors are, or are controlled by, companies that are larger
and have greater financial resources than the Company.
 
     The Company's position depends largely upon the quality, design and pricing
of its products and services and the timeliness of deliveries. The Company must
design products that meet or exceed rigid specifications and that are subjected
to stringent testing procedures. A substantial portion of the Company's business
is obtained through the submission of competitive proposals.
 
                              GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
 
     The Company's government contracts are normally for production, service or
development. Such contracts are typically of the fixed-price or cost-type
variety. Development contracts historically have been less profitable than
production contracts, and the Company has at times experienced cost overruns on
them.
 
     Fixed-price contracts may provide for a firm fixed-price or they may be
fixed-price incentive contracts. Under the firm fixed-price contracts, the
Company agrees to perform for an agreed price and, accordingly, derives benefits
from cost savings, but bears the entire risk of cost overruns. Under the
fixed-price incentive contract, if actual costs incurred are less than estimated
costs for the contract, the savings are apportioned between the Government and
the Company. However, if actual costs under such a contract exceed estimated
costs, excess costs are apportioned between the Government and the Company up to
a ceiling. The Company bears all costs that exceed the ceiling. Some firm
fixed-price contracts and fixed-price incentive contracts also provide for price
adjustments in the event inflation differs from specified measurement indices,
or in the event performance exceeds specified objectives or schedules.
 
     Some cost-type contracts provide for reimbursement of the Company's actual
costs, to the extent such costs are allowable, and additional compensation in
the form of a fixed, incentive or award fee. Under cost-sharing contracts, costs
are apportioned between the Government and the Company according to an agreed
formula. Cost-type contracts contain cost ceilings and the Company is not
obligated to incur costs in excess of such ceilings.
 
     All domestic defense contracts and subcontracts to which the Company is a
party are subject to audit, various cost controls and standard provisions for
termination at the convenience of the Government. Multi-year Government
contracts and related orders are subject to cancellation if funds for contract
performance for any subsequent year become unavailable. Upon termination other
than for a contractor's default, the contractor is normally entitled to
reimbursement for allowable costs, but not necessarily all costs, and to an
allowance for the proportionate share of fees or earnings for the work
completed. Foreign defense contracts generally contain comparable provisions
relating to termination for the convenience of the government.
 
     Companies engaged primarily in supplying defense-related equipment to the
Government are subject to certain business risks peculiar to the defense
industry. These risks include the ability of the Government to unilaterally
suspend the Company from receiving new contracts pending resolution of alleged
violations of procurement laws or regulations.
 
     In addition, all defense businesses are subject to risks associated with
dependence on Government appropriations, changes in Government procurement
policies, obtaining required Government export licenses for international sales,
uncertain cost factors related to technologically scarce skills and exotic
components, the frequent need to bid on programs in advance of design completion
(which may result in unforeseen technological difficulties and, or cost
overruns), design complexity and rapid obsolescence, and the constant necessity
for design improvement.
 
     United States Government expenditures for defense products are likely to
continue to decline. These reductions may or may not have an effect on the
Company's programs; however, in the event expenditures for products of the type
manufactured by the Company are reduced, and not offset by greater foreign sales
or other new programs or products, or acquisitions, there will be a reduction in
the volume of contracts or
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   8
 
subcontracts awarded to the Company. Such reductions unless offset will have an
adverse effect upon the Company's earnings.
 
                              PATENTS AND LICENSES
 
     Although the Company owns some patents and has filed applications for
additional patents, it does not believe that its operations depend upon its
patents. In addition, the Company's U.S. Government contracts generally license
it to use patents owned by others. Similar provisions in the U.S. Government
contracts awarded to other companies make it impossible for the Company to
prevent the use by other companies of its patents in most domestic defense work.
 
                            RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
     The Company employs scientific, engineering and other personnel to improve
its existing product lines and to develop new products and technologies in the

     Foreign sales accounted for approximately 14% of the Company's sales in
fiscal 1994 and 1993. Foreign sales and income are subject to changes in United
States and foreign government policies, regulations, embargoes and international
hostilities. Foreign sales generally require export licenses granted on a
case-by-case basis by the United States Department of State. The exchange risk
inherent in foreign contracts not denominated in U.S. dollars is mitigated by
currency hedging where deemed appropriate.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
         FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
 
     Loral's core business areas are electronic combat, training and simulation,
C3I/reconnaissance, tactical weapons, systems integration and space systems. The
U.S. defense budget has been declining in real terms since the mid 1980s,
resulting in program delays, cancellations and scope reductions for defense
contractors generally. The U.S. defense budget for 1995 will again likely show a
decline versus the previous year. Loral's business areas focus primarily on U.S.
and allied essential defense requirements. Management believes that to the
extent a higher proportion of available funds will be allocated to the
improvement of existing weapons systems and electronics on military platforms,
rather than to new program starts, Loral is likely to benefit from its
substantial incumbency in existing weapons systems and its experience in systems
upgrades. Loral also believes its range of programs and systems are well suited
for, and provide growth opportunities in, the international market place. In
addition, Loral has a diverse base of programs, none of which is expected to
account for more than 7% of fiscal 1995 revenues. In light of these factors,
management believes Loral's program base is more resistant to declining U.S.
defense spending than other contractors with significant dependence on new
program starts or a less diverse program base.
 
     In addition, the areas of the Company's expertise provide opportunities to
selectively apply the Company's proprietary technologies to non-military
applications; primary examples include systems integration programs for civilian
agencies such as the FAA, the U.S. Postal Service and the U.S. Treasury
Department and satellite based systems, particularly Globalstar, a
low-earth-orbit mobile telecommunications system.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     In fiscal 1993 and 1994, major acquisitions made by the Company
significantly affected results of operations. The acquisitions have been
accounted for as purchases and, as such, the results of operations are included
from the respective effective dates of acquisitions. (See Note 2 to Consolidated
Financial Statements.)
 
     Effective January 1, 1994, the Company, through Loral Federal Systems
Company ("LFS"), acquired substantially all the assets and liabilities of the
Federal Systems Company, a division of International Business Machines
Corporation. LFS, headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, is a leading systems
integrator and supplier of advanced information technology products and services
to defense and non-defense agencies worldwide and employs about 10,000 people.
Historical operating results of Federal Systems Company for its fiscal year
ended December 31, 1993 include sales of $2.292 billion, operating income of
$117.5 million and funded backlog at December 31, 1993 of $3.215 billion.
 
     On August 31, 1992, the Company, through Loral Vought Systems Corporation
("LVS"), acquired the missile business of LTV Aerospace and Defense Company.
LVS, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, designs and manufactures missile systems
primarily for the U.S. Army and employs about 4,000 people. Historical operating
results of the missile business for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1991
include sales of $750.1 million, operating income of $36.2 million and acquired
funded backlog at August 31, 1992 of $1.134 billion.
 
     On October 7, 1993, the Company completed a two-for-one stock split in the
form of a 100% stock distribution payable to stockholders of record on September
28, 1993. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts have been adjusted to
reflect the stock split. (See Note 7 to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
 
     Effective April 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions" ("SFAS 106"). (See Note 9 to Consolidated Financial
Statements.) The results of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1992
have not been restated to reflect this accounting change.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   13
 
FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 COMPARED WITH FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1993
 
     During fiscal 1994, sales increased to $4.009 billion from $3.335 billion
the prior year. Income increased to $228.3 million, or $2.72 per share, compared
with $159.1 million, or $2.06 per share in the prior year, before an
extraordinary item and the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 106.
 
     Earnings per share for fiscal 1994 is based on 83.9 million primary
weighted average shares outstanding, compared with 77.0 million in the prior
year.
 
     The sales increase was attributable to the results of the acquired LFS and
LVS businesses from their respective dates of acquisition. Sales also include
higher volume on Vertical Launch Antisubmarine Rocket (VLA) and ALR-56M radar
warning systems; offset by lower volume on Simulated Area Weapons Effect (SAWE)
training system, Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, ALQ-178 radar warning and
electronic countermeasures systems for foreign F-16 aircraft and AN/BSY-2 combat
control system for the U.S. Navy's SSN-21 attack submarine.
 
     Operating income increased to $401.4 million from $296.3 million in the
prior year. Operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 10.0% in
fiscal 1994 from 8.9% in fiscal 1993, due primarily to net improved margins of
the acquired LVS business, the full-year impact of lower pension costs resulting
from acquired pension plans and lower postretirement health care and life
insurance costs due to various plan amendments (see Note 9 to Consolidated
Financial Statements), offset by lower margins of the acquired LFS business.
Excluding the effect of the acquisitions of LFS and LVS, operating income, as a
percentage of sales increased to 9.6% in fiscal 1994 from 9.2% in fiscal 1993.
 
     After the full-year impact of debt incurred as a result of the acquisition
of LVS and interest expense from the effective date of acquisition of LFS, net
interest expense decreased by $1.7 million from the prior year, due primarily to
the benefits from continued strong cash flow and lower overall interest costs as
a result of a series of debt reshaping steps in the second half of last year.
The Company's free cash flow (net cash from operating activities, less net
capital expenditures, plus proceeds of stock purchases by employee benefit plans
and exercises of stock options) was $284.3 million and $221.8 million in 1994
and 1993, respectively.
 
     On August 10, 1993, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 was
signed into law, including a provision that increased the Federal corporate
income tax rate by 1%, to 35%, effective January 1, 1993. This increase was
partially offset by the benefit resulting from revaluing deferred tax assets at
the higher rate. As a result the Company's effective tax rate increased to 37.3%
from 37% in the prior year. (See Note 6 to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
 
     The minority interest charge was eliminated due to the Company's
acquisition, effective June 1, 1992, of the minority partners' interest in Loral
Aerospace Holdings, Inc. ("LAH"). (See Note 2 to Consolidated Financial
Statements.)
 
FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1993 COMPARED WITH FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1992
 
     During fiscal 1993, sales increased to $3.335 billion from $2.882 billion
the prior year. Income, before extraordinary item and the cumulative effect of
adopting SFAS 106, increased to $159.1 million, or $2.06 per share, compared
with $121.8 million, or $2.00 per share, in the prior year.
 
     Earnings per share for fiscal 1993 is based on 77.0 million primary
weighted average shares outstanding, compared with 61.0 million in the prior
year.
 
     The sales increase was attributable to the results of the acquired LVS
business from the effective date of acquisition. Sales also include higher
volume on Simulated Area Weapons Effect (SAWE) training system, sonar systems
for Romeo class submarines, Rapid Execution and Combat Targeting (REACT) launch
control system, Vertical Launch Antisubmarine Rocket (VLA) and AN/BSY-2 combat
control system for the U.S. Navy's SSN-21 attack submarine; offset by lower
volume on F/A-18 Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) targeting and weapon delivery
system, Chaparral air-defense systems, ALQ-178 radar warning and electronic
countermeasures systems for foreign F-16 aircraft, Mk-48 antisubmarine
torpedoes, Automated Remote Tracking Station (ARTS) and Mk-30/Ex-30
antisubmarine training targets.

     Operating income increased to $296.3 million from $292.2 million in the
prior year. Operating income as a percentage of sales declined from 10.1% in
fiscal 1992 to 8.9% in fiscal 1993, due primarily to the current year effect of
adopting SFAS 106 and lower margins of the acquired LVS business, partially
offset by lower pension costs recorded in fiscal 1993 resulting from acquired
pension plans. (See Note 9 to Consolidated Financial Statements.) Excluding the
current year effect of adopting SFAS 106 and the effect of the acquisition of
LVS, operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 10.3% in fiscal 1993
from 10.1% in fiscal 1992.
 
     Net interest expense decreased by $10.5 million from the prior year, due
primarily to the full-year effect of the long-term debt repayments from the
proceeds of the common stock issued in June 1991, strong cash flow and lower
overall interest costs due to lower market interest rates and a series of debt
reshaping steps, offset by the impact of debt incurred as a result of the
acquisition of LVS. The Company's free cash flow was $221.8 million and $187.3
million in 1993 and 1992, respectively.
 
     The minority interest charge was reduced by $26.1 million, compared with
the prior year, due to the Company's acquisition, effective June 1, 1992, of the
minority partners' interest in LAH. (See Note 2 to Consolidated Financial
Statements.)
 
     In March 1993, retroactive to April 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
did not have a material effect on the results of operations. The effective tax
rate remained constant at 37% in both fiscal years. (See Note 6 to Consolidated
Financial Statements.)
 
     As a result of the early redemption of certain long-term debt issues and
the cancellation of an existing credit facility, the Company recorded an
extraordinary charge of $28.2 million pre-tax, $17.8 million after-tax, or $.23
per share. The extraordinary charge consisted of redemption premiums and the
write-off of unamortized discounts and financing costs. (See Note 5 to
Consolidated Financial Statements.)
 
     As a result of adopting SFAS 106, the Company recorded charges for the
cumulative effect of the accounting change effective April 1, 1992 of $330.5
million pre-tax, $233.4 million after-tax, or $3.03 per share.
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
 
CASH PROVIDED AND USED
 
     NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES:  Cash provided by operating
activities was $360.0 million in fiscal 1994, an increase of $88.1 million or
32% over fiscal 1993. The increase was due primarily to higher earnings in
fiscal 1994. Earnings after adjustment for non-cash items provided $437.0
million, offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities which used $77.0
million.
 
     Contracts in process, before reduction for unliquidated progress payments,
increased by $888.4 million to $2.88 billion at March 31, 1994, primarily due to
the acquisition of LFS. (See Notes 1, 2 and 3 to Consolidated Financial
Statements.) As is customary in the defense industry, unbilled contract
receivables and inventoried costs are partially financed by progress payments.
The unliquidated balance of such progress payments increased by $610.5 million
to $1.55 billion at March 31, 1994, compared with $943.5 million in the prior
year. As a result, net contracts in process increased to $1.33 billion in fiscal
1994 from $1.05 billion in the prior year.
 
     The Company's current ratio declined to 1.4:1 at March 31, 1994, from 1.8:1
at March 31, 1993 as a result of the LFS acquisition. The Company expects the
current ratio to improve in the early part of fiscal 1995 based on its intent to
refinance in the capital markets a portion of the debt incurred for the LFS
acquisition, which will be used in part to repay the $173.5 million of
commercial paper borrowings that are classified as current portion of debt.
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   15
 
     NET CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES:  Cash used in investing activities
increased $1.18 billion to $1.53 billion in fiscal 1994. The acquisition cost,
net of cash acquired, was $1.40 billion in 1994 for LFS and $253.0 million in
1993 for LVS. Investment in affiliates in fiscal 1994 was $25.3 million,
reflecting the initial investment in Globalstar. (See Note 2 to Consolidated
Financial Statements.) Net fixed asset additions in fiscal 1994 totaled $96.5
million, compared with $89.0 million in fiscal 1993. Fixed asset additions were
primarily for manufacturing and test equipment, facility expansion and
renovation.
 
     NET CASH PROVIDED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES:  Cash provided by financing
activities was $1.29 billion for fiscal 1994, due primarily to cash borrowed to
finance the acquisition of LFS.
 
     The Company's debt (net of cash) to equity ratio increased to 1.13:1 at
March 31, 1994 from .35:1 at March 31, 1993, due primarily to the debt incurred
for the LFS acquisition, offset by strong cash flow during the year. The LFS
purchase price was initially financed through cash on hand and commercial paper
borrowings which are backed up by revolving credit facilities totaling $1.7
billion. It is the Company's intent to refinance a portion of this debt in order
to fix interest costs and lengthen maturities. (See Note 5 to Consolidated
Financial Statements.) Based on the financial condition of the Company following
the LFS acquisition, management believes that the internal cash flows of the
combined operations will be adequate to fund the future growth of the Company
while servicing the interest and retiring the principal of the debt.
 
BACKLOG
 
     The Company's funded backlog at March 31, 1994, including the funded
backlog of LFS ($3.2 billion at the January 1, 1994 effective date of
acquisition), totalled $6.5 billion, compared with $3.9 billion at March 31,
1993. New orders in fiscal 1994 totalled $3.5 billion, compared with $3.1
billion in fiscal 1993. It is expected that 55% of the March 31, 1994 backlog
will be shipped in fiscal 1995. Approximately 53% of the total backlog was
directly or indirectly for defense contracts for end use by the U.S. Government
and an additional 8% for contracts to other U.S. Government agencies; foreign
customers account for about 38%. The exchange risk inherent in foreign contracts
not denominated in U.S. dollars is mitigated by currency hedging where deemed
appropriate.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
     Company-sponsored research and development, including bid and proposal
costs, increased to $172.6 million from $124.7 million the prior year. In
addition, customer-funded research and development was $844.0 million for fiscal
1994, compared with $488.5 million for the prior year. The increase in
customer-funded research and development is due primarily to the acquisition of
LFS.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
     Management is continually assessing its obligations with respect to
applicable environmental protection laws. While it is difficult to determine the
timing and ultimate cost to be incurred by the Company in order to comply with
these laws, based upon available internal and external assessments, the Company
believes that even without considering potential insurance recoveries, if any,
there are no environmental loss contingencies that, individually or in the
aggregate, are material. The Company accrues for these contingencies when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. The Company has been named a Potentially Responsible Party
("PRP") at a number of sites. In several of these situations Loral acquired the
site pursuant to a purchase agreement which provided that the seller would
retain liability for environmental remediation and related costs arising from
occurrences prior to the sale. In other situations the Company is party to an
interim or final allocation plan that has been accepted by other PRPs whose size
and current financial condition make it probable that they will be able to pay
the environmental costs apportioned to them. The Company believes that it has
adequately accrued for future expenditures in connection with environmental
matters and that such expenditures will not have a material adverse effect on
its financial condition or results of operations.

INFLATION
 
     The effect of inflation on the Company's sales and earnings is minimal.
Although a majority of the Company's sales are made under long-term contracts,
the selling prices of such contracts, established for deliveries in the future,
generally reflect estimated costs to be incurred in these future periods. In
addition, some contracts provide for price adjustments through escalation
clauses.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
  Loral Corporation:
 
     We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the financial
statement schedules of Loral Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") listed
under Items 14(a)1 and 14(a)2 of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and
financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Loral
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended March 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules
referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information
required to be included therein.
 
     As discussed in Notes 6 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements, in
1993 the Company changed its methods of accounting for income taxes and
postretirement benefits other than pensions.

                       LORAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Loral
Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Loral" or the "Company"). The Company's
investments in its affiliates are carried on the equity method of accounting.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
  STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS:
 
     The Company classifies investments that are readily convertible into cash,
and have original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents.
 
     Changes in operating assets and liabilities are net of the impact of
acquisitions and final purchase price allocations. Investing activities do not
include certain marketable securities transactions in 1993 which were not
settled in cash.
 
  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
 
     The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Except as discussed in Notes 5 and 11, all other financial instruments are not
material.
 
  CONTRACTS IN PROCESS:
 
     Sales on long-term production-type contracts are recorded as units are
shipped; profits applicable to such shipments are recorded pro rata, based upon
estimated total profit at completion of the contract. Sales and profits on cost
reimbursable contracts are recognized as costs are incurred. Sales and estimated
profits under other long-term contracts are recognized under the percentage of
completion method of accounting using the cost to cost method. Amounts
representing contract change orders or claims are included in sales only when
they can be reliably estimated and realization is probable.
 
     Costs accumulated under long-term contracts include applicable amounts of
selling, general and administrative expenses. Losses on contracts are
immediately recognized in full when determinable. Revisions in profit estimates
are reflected in the period in which the facts which require the revision become
known.
 
     In accordance with industry practice, contracts in process contain amounts
relating to contracts and programs with long production cycles, a portion of
which may not be realized within one year.
 
  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:
 
     Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided
primarily on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the
lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements.
 
  COST IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED:
 
     The excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the fair value of the
net assets acquired is being amortized using a straight-line method generally
over a 40-year period. Accumulated amortization amounted to $70,207,000 and
$49,456,000 at March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
     The carrying amount of the cost in excess of net assets acquired is
evaluated on a recurring basis. Current and future profitability as well as
current and future undiscounted cash flows, excluding financing costs, of the
acquired businesses are primary indicators of recoverability. For the three
years ended March 31, 1994, there were no adjustments to the carrying amount of
the cost in excess of net assets acquired resulting from these evaluations.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
  FOREIGN CURRENCY:
 
     Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S.
dollars at year-end rates and income and expenses are translated at average
exchange rates during the year. The effects of the translation adjustments
recorded as a component of Equity Adjustments in Shareholders' Equity aggregated
$1,904,000, $367,000 and $447,000 at March 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses for the three years
ended March 31, 1994 were not material. The Company enters into forward exchange
contracts to hedge the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on certain
transactions and commitments denominated in foreign currencies. Gains and losses
on commitment hedges are deferred and included in the basis of the transaction
underlying the commitment.
 
  EARNINGS PER SHARE:
 
     Primary earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average
number of common stock and common stock equivalents (stock options) outstanding.
Fully diluted earnings per share also reflect additional dilution related to
stock options due to the use of the market price at the end of the period, when
higher than the average price for the period. In 1993 and 1992, fully diluted
earnings per share assume the conversion of certain convertible debentures,
giving effect to the resultant reduction in interest costs, net of the tax
effect thereon, through the redemption date. In 1993, the impact of the
extraordinary item and cumulative effect of changes in accounting on the fully
diluted calculation is anti-dilutive, resulting in the net fully diluted amount
equalling the net primary amount.
 
  INCOME TAXES:
 
     Effective April 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). See
Note 6, Income Taxes.
 
  POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS:
 
     Effective April 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions" ("SFAS 106"). See Note 9, Pensions and Other Employee
Benefits.
 
  RECLASSIFICATIONS:
 
     Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior-year amounts to
the current-year presentation.
 
2. ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES:
 
  ACQUISITIONS:
 
     On March 1, 1994, effective January 1, 1994, the Company, through its newly
formed wholly owned subsidiary Loral Federal Systems Company ("LFS"), acquired
substantially all the assets and liabilities of the Federal Systems Company, a
division of International Business Machines Corporation, for $1,503,500,000 in
cash, plus acquisition costs of $8,000,000. The assets and liabilities recorded
in connection with the purchase price allocation were $1,925,194,000 and
$413,694,000, respectively. The acquisition was financed through cash on hand
and commercial paper borrowings.
 
     On August 31, 1992, the Company, through its newly formed wholly owned
subsidiary Loral Vought Systems Corporation ("LVS"), acquired substantially all
the assets and liabilities of the missile business of LTV Aerospace and Defense
Company for $261,250,000 in cash, plus acquisition costs of $2,000,000. The
purchase price was subsequently reduced by a $9,000,000 purchase price
adjustment paid in cash to the Company in December 1992. The assets and
liabilities recorded in connection with the purchase price

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
allocation were $564,502,000 and $310,252,000, respectively. The acquisition was
financed through cash on hand and borrowings under existing credit facilities.
 
     In October 1990, Loral Aerospace Holdings, Inc. ("LAH"), a company owned by
the Company and certain partnerships affiliated with Lehman Brothers Holdings
Inc. (the "Lehman Partnerships"), acquired substantially all the businesses of
Ford Aerospace Corporation ("FAC"). The FAC businesses were acquired by separate
subsidiaries of LAH; Loral Aerospace Corp. ("Loral Aerospace") purchased all the
businesses other than FAC's Space Systems Division, which was in effect
purchased by Space Systems/Loral, Inc. ("SS/L").
 
     Effective June 1, 1992, the Company acquired the Lehman Partnerships'
equity interest in LAH through the issuance of 12,313,810 shares of Loral Common
Stock (as adjusted for two-for-one stock split, see Note 7) and 627.3 shares of
LAH Series S Preferred Stock. Each share of Series S Preferred Stock represents
a beneficial interest in one share of common stock of SS/L. As a result of the
issuance of the Series S Preferred Stock, the Lehman Partnerships have no
economic interest in LAH other than with respect to the SS/L operations. This
transaction increased shareholders' equity by $195,179,000, eliminated minority
interest, decreased the investment in affiliate by $86,907,000 and increased
cost in excess of net assets acquired by $159,960,000. If the Lehman
Partnerships continue to hold Series S Preferred Stock after January 1, 1998, or
after a change in control of Loral, they will have the right to request that the
Company purchase their Series S Preferred Stock at an appraised fair market
value. In such event, the Company may elect to purchase such Series S Preferred
Stock at appraised fair market value, or if the Company elects not to purchase
the stock, the Lehman Partnerships may require the combined interests of the
Company and the Lehman Partnerships in SS/L to be sold to a third party.
 
     In April 1993, the Company acquired the advanced simulation business of
Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc. for $6,000,000 in cash. In September 1993, the
Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Quintron
Corporation for $21,422,000 in cash. These acquisitions are not expected to have
a material effect on the operations of the Company.
 
     The acquisitions of LFS, LVS and the Lehman Partnerships' equity interest
in LAH have been accounted for as purchases. As such, Loral's consolidated
financial statements reflect the results of operations of the acquired entities
and the elimination of the minority interest from the respective effective dates
of acquisition.
 
     Performance under acquired contracts in process, the accounting for which
is described in Note 3, contributed after-tax income of $49,061,000, $43,283,000
and $24,843,000, net of after-tax interest cost on debt related to the
acquisitions and incremental amortization of cost in excess of net assets
acquired aggregating $29,125,000, $18,653,000 and $14,765,000 for 1994, 1993,
and 1992, respectively.
 
     Had the acquisitions of LFS, LVS and the Lehman Partnerships' equity
interest in LAH occurred on April 1, 1992, the unaudited proforma sales, income
before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of changes in accounting and
related earnings per share data for the years ended March 31, 1994 and 1993
would have been: $5,853,700,000 and $5,954,900,000; $228,000,000 and
$177,000,000; and $2.72 and $2.24, respectively. The results, which are based on
various assumptions, are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred
had the acquisitions been consummated as of April 1, 1992.
 
  INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES:
 
     In April 1991, SS/L sold 49% of its common stock to three European space
systems manufacturers for $171,500,000. At that time LAH made an additional
capital contribution of $3,500,000 to SS/L. In November 1992, a fourth European
investor acquired 12 1/4% of SS/L's common stock from SS/L for $57,167,000. In
order to maintain the 51% interest in SS/L, Loral Aerospace purchased additional
shares of SS/L common stock for $59,500,000, consisting of $9,500,000 in cash
and the contribution of a $50,000,000

subordinated note and warrant issued in March 1992 by SS/L to Loral Aerospace
for cash. In December 1992, the Lehman Partnerships purchased an additional
104.55 shares of Series S Preferred Stock from LAH for $12,197,500 in cash. As a
result of these transactions, Loral has an effective 32.7% economic interest in
SS/L. No gain or loss was realized by Loral in connection with the sale of any
SS/L common stock or Series S Preferred Stock.
 
     LAH and Loral Aerospace retain 51% of the outstanding common stock of SS/L,
but have agreed not to cause SS/L to take certain actions without the
concurrence of three, or in some cases, all of the SS/L directors appointed by
the four European investors. Accordingly, the Company's investment in SS/L is
classified as "Investment in affiliates," and the results of operations of SS/L
are included in "Equity in net income (loss) of affiliate."
 
     In March 1994, the Company and seven other partners made capital
commitments totalling $275,000,000 to Globalstar, L.P., a limited partnership of
which the Company is the managing general partner, which plans to design and
operate a worldwide satellite-based telecommunications network. The Globalstar
network, consisting of 48 low-earth-orbiting satellites, subject to receiving
local licensing authority such as is pending before the Federal Communications
Commission, will offer voice, data, paging and geolocation services to both
handheld and fixed terminals. Total system cost through 1998, the expected
in-service date, is expected to total approximately $1,800,000,000, which
Globalstar intends to finance through sales of additional equity, advance
payments from service providers, and debt financing.
 
     At March 31, 1994, the Company has an effective 42% equity interest in
Globalstar and has a total capital commitment of $107,000,000, of which
$25,288,000 has been funded. The remaining commitment is expected to be funded
in two installments, in September 1994 and March 1995. Through SS/L, the Company
has an additional 2% indirect equity interest in Globalstar. By sales of its
equity interest to other strategic partners and through subsequent Globalstar
equity offerings, the Company expects to reduce its direct and indirect equity
interest to approximately 25%.
 
     Globalstar has awarded SS/L, the prime contract to design, construct and
launch the satellite constellation. SS/L has and expects to award subcontracts
to third parties, including other investors in Globalstar, for substantial
portions of its obligations under the contract.
 
     As managing general partner of Globalstar, the Company is entitled to
receive a management fee determined in accordance with the partnership
agreement.

     In February 1994, the Company entered into a five-year, $1,200,000,000
revolving credit facility and a 364-day, $500,000,000 revolving credit facility
with a group of banks replacing an existing three-year revolving credit
facility. The revolving credit facilities serve to back up the Company's
commercial paper borrowings. The amount available for borrowing under the
facilities is reduced by the outstanding commercial paper. Borrowings under the
facilities are unsecured and bear interest, at the Company's option, at various
rates based on the base rate, or on margins over the CD rate or EuroDollar rate.
The Company pays a commitment

fee on the unused portion. The margins and the commitment fee are subject to
adjustment. Borrowings are prepayable at any time and are due at maturity. The
agreements contain financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain
levels of net worth and an interest coverage ratio, as well as a limitation on
indebtedness and dividends.
 
     The outstanding commercial paper borrowings at March 31, 1994, supported by
the Company's five-year revolving credit facility are classified as long-term
since the Company intends to refinance these borrowings through long-term
borrowings, rollover of commercial paper borrowings or utilization of the
revolving credit facilities.
 
     In September 1993, the Company issued $200,000,000 7% Senior Debentures.
The 7%, 8 3/8% and 9 1/8% Senior Debentures are not redeemable prior to maturity
and are not subject to any sinking fund provisions.
 
     In October 1993, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective
a shelf registration statement which enables the Company to issue up to
$300,000,000 of additional debt securities.
 
     In anticipation of refinancing a portion of the revolving credit
facilities, the Company entered into several interest rate hedge agreements,
maturing in April and June 1994, with a principal amount of $500,000,000.
 
     In fiscal 1993, the Company recorded an extraordinary charge of $28,216,000
pre-tax, $17,776,000 after-tax, or $.23 per share for the early redemption of
certain long-term debt issues and the cancellation of an existing credit
facility. The extraordinary charge consisted of redemption premiums and the
write-off of unamortized discounts and financing costs. In connection with the
redemption of $69,694,000 principal amount of certain convertible debentures,
the Company issued 3,149,710 shares of Loral Common Stock (as adjusted for
two-for-one stock split, see Note 7).
 
     The aggregate maturities of long-term debt, excluding commercial paper
borrowings classified as long-term, for the years 1995 through 1999 are as
follows: $173,928,000, $329,000, $10,626,000, $1,106,000 and $859,000.
 
     The fair value of the Company's total debt and the interest rate hedges,
based on quoted market prices or on current rates for similar debt with the same
maturities, was approximately $1,762,000,000 and $554,500,000 at March 31, 1994
and 1993, respectively.
 
6. INCOME TAXES:
 
     In 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), which changed the method of
accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method.
Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
based on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes using
currently enacted tax rates. The adoption of SFAS 109 did not have a material
effect on the financial position or results of operations for the year ended
March 31, 1993.
 
     The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:

     On August 10, 1993, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 was
signed into law, including a provision that increased the Federal corporate
income tax rate by 1%, to 35%, effective January 1, 1993. This increase was
partially offset by the additional tax benefit resulting from revaluing deferred
tax assets at the higher rate.
 
     The provision for income taxes excludes: current tax benefits related to
the exercise of stock options, credited directly to Shareholders' Equity, of
$3,643,000 and $10,237,000 for 1994 and 1993, respectively; a deferred tax
benefit of $10,261,000, related to the additional minimum pension liability
debited directly to Shareholders' Equity for 1994; and, in 1993, the tax benefit
of $10,440,000, related to the extraordinary item and the deferred tax benefit
of $97,122,000, related to the cumulative effect of the change in accounting for
SFAS 106.

7. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
 
     In September 1993, the shareholders approved an increase in the number of
authorized shares of common stock from 70,000,000 shares to 150,000,000 shares.
 
     On October 7, 1993, the Company completed a two-for-one stock split in the
form of a 100% stock distribution payable to shareholders of record on September
28, 1993. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts have been adjusted to
reflect the stock split.
 
     The Company has 2,000,000 authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock
(par value $1.00). The designation of terms, conditions and amounts of such
preferred stock may be set by the Board of Directors.
 
     Under the Company's various stock option plans, options may be granted at
prices determined by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee. The Committee
determines the exercise and expiration dates of the options, which may not be
later than 10 years from the date of grant. For options granted at less than 75%
of the fair market value at date of grant, the plans provide for return of stock
issued on exercise of these options on a ratable basis should the recipient
leave the Company's employment under certain circumstances within six years of
the grant of these options. Unearned compensation with respect to options
granted at less than fair market value at date of grant, included as a component
of Equity Adjustments in Shareholders' Equity, aggregated $13,644,000,
$8,424,000 and $13,632,000 at March 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, and
is being amortized over the period that the options vest.
 
     Options outstanding have been granted at prices ranging from $4.50 to
$37.63 per share.
 
     A summary of the option transactions follows:

     There were 51,026 shares, 1,859,140 shares and 3,081,690 shares of common
stock available for future option grants at March 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992,
respectively.
 
     Under the Company's Restricted Stock Purchase Plan, established in 1988,
2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock were issued under the Plan, upon
payment by the employee of the par value per share. The total number of shares
earned under the Plan each year equals 3% of the Company's pre-tax profit
divided by the grant value (currently $105.00 per share) of restricted shares
outstanding. Any shares not earned at the earlier of completion of the seventh
year after grant or termination of employment will be essentially forfeited by
being repurchased by the Company at par value. Under the Plan, 104,846 shares,
341,714 shares and 420,986 shares were earned for the years ended March 31,
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. At March 31, 1994, 147,738 shares of common
stock are still to be earned and 13,060 shares of common stock are available for
future grants under this Plan. Unearned compensation related to these shares,
included as a component of Equity Adjustments in Shareholders' Equity,
aggregated $5,521,000, $7,504,000 and $4,935,000 at March 31, 1994, 1993, and
1992 respectively, and is amortized as the shares are earned.

     Real estate lease commitments have been reduced by minimum sublease rentals
of $27,399,000 due in the future under noncancellable subleases. The present
value of the minimum lease payments for capital leases is $16,729,000, net of
imputed interest of $9,265,000.
 
     Leases covering major items of real estate and equipment contain renewal
and or purchase options which may be exercised by the Company. Rent expense, net
of sublease income of $4,180,000, $2,378,000 and $5,218,000, was $65,239,000,
$50,539,000 and $44,281,000, in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
 
     At March 31, 1994, outstanding letters of credit were approximately
$392,000,000.
 
     At acquisition, LFS's contracts in process included a systems integration
contract with the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") for the modernization
of the U.S. air traffic control system. Prior to the acquisition, discussions
were held between LFS and FAA officials with respect to modifying certain terms
and conditions of the contract. This contract has also been the subject of
considerable public and media attention in the past year and in December 1993,
the FAA initiated a comprehensive review of the contract. The extent of the
contract modifications, if any, as a result of the comprehensive review, as well
as future negotiations with the FAA, is not determinable at this time. The final
purchase price of LFS is subject to a reduction, up to a specified limit, based
upon the outcome of these matters. (See Current Report on Form 8-K dated March
1, 1994, Exhibit 10.2.) In the opinion of management, and in light of the
potential adjustment of the LFS purchase price and reserves provided, the
ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.
 
     Management is continually assessing its obligations with respect to
applicable environmental protection laws. While it is difficult to determine the
timing and ultimate cost to be incurred by the Company in order to comply with
these laws, based upon available internal and external assessments, the Company
believes that even without considering potential insurance recoveries, if any,
there are no environmental loss contingencies that, individually or in the
aggregate, are material. The Company accrues for these contingencies when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. The Company has been named a Potentially Responsible Party
("PRP") at a number of sites. In several of these situations Loral acquired the
site pursuant to a purchase agreement which provided that the seller would
retain liability for environmental remediation and related costs arising from
occurrences prior to the sale. In other situations the Company is party to an
interim or final allocation plan that has been accepted by other PRPs whose size
and current financial condition make it probable that they will be able to pay
the environmental costs apportioned to them. The Company believes that it has
adequately accrued for future expenditures in

connection with environmental matters and that such expenditures will not have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
 
     There are a number of lawsuits or claims pending against the Company and
incidental to its business. However, in the opinion of management, the ultimate
liability on these matters, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
 
9. PENSIONS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS:
 
  PENSIONS:
 
     The Company maintains several pension plans, both contributory and
noncontributory, covering certain employees. Eligibility for participation in
these plans varies and benefits are generally based on members' compensation and
years of service. The Company's funding policy is generally to contribute
annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for Federal income tax
purposes. Plan assets are invested primarily in U.S. government and agency
obligations and listed stocks and bonds.
 
     Pension (credit) cost included the following components:

POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS:
 
     In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides certain
health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees and dependents at
certain locations. Participants are eligible for these benefits when they retire
from active service and meet the eligibility requirements for the Company's
pension plans. These benefits are funded primarily on a pay-as-you-go basis with
the retiree generally paying a portion of the cost through contributions,
deductibles and coinsurance provisions.
 
     Effective April 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions" ("SFAS 106"). SFAS 106 requires employers to recognize the
cost of postretirement health and welfare obligations in their financial
statements over the years of employee service. These costs were previously
expensed on a pay-as-you-go basis. The Company elected to immediately recognize
the accumulated postretirement obligation upon adoption of SFAS 106. A
non-recurring charge of $330,499,000 pre-tax, $233,377,000, after-tax, or $3.03
per share, was recorded as the cumulative effect of the accounting change. Total
postretirement health care and life insurance costs were $41,570,000 and
$57,353,000 for 1994 and 1993, respectively under SFAS 106. These costs for
1992, which were recorded on a cash basis, and have not been restated, were
$17,455,000.
 
     In March 1993 and March 1994, the Company adopted various plan amendments
which are being amortized as prior service cost commencing in the quarter
following adoption.
 
     Postretirement health care and life insurance costs included the following
components:

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
     Actuarial assumptions used in determining the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation include a discount rate of 7.75% and 9% for 1994 and 1993,
respectively, and an assumed health care cost trend rate of 12.4% decreasing
gradually to an ultimate rate of 6% by the year 2003. Changing the assumed
health care cost trend rate by 1% in each year would change the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation at March 31, 1994 by approximately $50,000,000
and the aggregate service and interest cost components for 1994 by approximately
$6,500,000.
 
  EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLANS:
 
     Under its various employee savings plans, the Company matches the
contributions of participating employees up to a designated level. The extent of
the match, vesting terms and the form of the matching contribution vary among
the plans. Under these plans, the matching contributions, in cash, Loral common
stock or both, for 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $22,929,000, $18,625,000 and
$19,179,000, respectively.
 
  POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:
 
     In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits" ("SFAS 112"). The Company is required to adopt SFAS 112
by fiscal 1995 and based on preliminary estimates does not expect any material
impact to the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

products to SS/L. Net sales to SS/L were $15,769,000, $11,574,000 and $8,513,000
in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Included in other current assets are
advances to SS/L of $8,207,000 and $6,832,000 at March 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. LAH and SS/L have a tax sharing agreement whereby certain tax
liabilities and benefits are shared equitably. For the year ended March 31,
1992, LAH paid $10,239,000 to SS/L pursuant to this agreement. LAH has
guaranteed performance of SS/L under certain commercial contracts. To date, SS/L
has performed satisfactorily under these contracts, and management believes that
they will be successfully completed.
 
     In 1989, the Company sold its Aircraft Braking Systems and Engineered
Fabrics divisions to K&F Industries, Inc. ("K&F"), of which the Chairman of
Loral owns 35% of the capital stock and certain executive officers of Loral own
rights to purchase 4% of the capital stock. In connection with the sale, K&F
issued to the Company a $30,000,000 14 3/4% paid-in-kind subordinated
convertible debenture due 2004 (the "Debenture") convertible into 15% of the
common equity of K&F. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 81, the value of the Debenture has not been
recognized by the Company. Because the Debenture is not publicly traded its fair
value is not readily determinable. However, the Company believes that the
Debenture has a fair value less than the publicly traded K&F subordinated
debentures, which have rights superior to the Debenture and pay interest
currently, and are trading at approximately 92% of face value.
 
     The Company and K&F have agreements covering various real property
occupancy arrangements and agreements under which the Company and K&F provide
certain services, such as benefits administration, treasury, accounting and
legal services to each other. The charges for these services, as agreed to by
the Company and K&F, are based upon the actual cost incurred in providing the
services without a profit. These transactions between the Company and K&F were
not significant. Sales to K&F were $6,785,000, $4,796,000 and $8,828,000 in
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

                                    OFFICES
 
     1. The principal office of the corporation shall be at 600 Third Avenue,
New York, New York.
 
     2. The corporation may also have offices at such other places, within or
without the State of New York and within or without the United States of America
as the board of directors may from time to time designate or as the business of
the corporation may require.
 
                             STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS
 
     3. Place:  The annual meetings of stockholders of the corporation, for the
election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come
before such meetings, shall be held at the principal office of the corporation
in New York, or at such other place in the State of New York as the Board of
Directors shall from time to time designate and as may be set forth in the
notice of the meeting. Special meetings of stockholders, other than those
regulated by statute, in which event the requirements of the statutes shall be
followed, may be held at such place within the State of New York and at such
time as may be stated in the notice of the meeting.
 
     4. Annual Meeting:  The annual meeting of stockholders for 1972 shall be
held on June 29, 1972 and, commencing with the year 1973, shall be held on the
last Tuesday of July in each year and every year, if not a holiday, and if a
holiday, then on the next succeeding business day, at 2:00 P.M., or at such
other date, time and place as may be determined by the Board of Directors, for
the purpose of electing a board of directors and transacting such other business
as may properly be brought before the meeting.
 
     5. Special Meetings:  Special meetings of the stockholders of the
Corporation may be called only by the Board of Directors or by the Chairman of
the Board.
 
     6. Notice of Meetings:  Written notice of every meeting of stockholders,
stating the time, place and purpose thereof, shall be delivered or mailed not
less than ten (10) nor more than seventy-five (75) days prior thereto to each
stockholder of record at his last known post-office address as the same appears
on the books of the corporation.
 
     7. Quorum:  The holders of a majority in interest of the stock issued and
outstanding, and entitled to vote thereat, present in person, or represented by
proxy, shall be requisite and shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the
stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by
statute, by the certificate of incorporation or by these by-laws; provided,
however, that if at any such meeting the holders of any class of stock of the
corporation are entitled to vote separately as a class, the holders of a
majority of the number of shares of such class outstanding shall constitute a
quorum for such purpose. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or
represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to
vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the
meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the
meeting, until a quorum shall be present. At such adjourned meeting at which a
quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally called.
 
     8. Voting:  At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder having
the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person, or by proxy appointed by
an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder and bearing a date not
more than eleven (11) months prior to said meeting, unless said instrument
provides for a longer period. Each stockholder shall have one vote for each
share of stock having voting power, registered in his name on the books of the
corporation. The stockholders entitled to vote shall be those of
<PAGE>   2
 
record on the date fixed pursuant to Paragraph 36 hereof as the record date for
the determination of stockholders entitled to vote, or, if no such record date
shall have been fixed, then on the date of such meeting. Voting on any question
or for any election shall be oral unless a vote by ballot is required by law or
is demanded by any stockholder present and entitled to vote; then, in either of
such cases, the vote shall be taken by ballot. All elections shall be had and
all questions decided by a plurality vote of the shares voting, except as
otherwise required by law, or the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws.
 
     9. Inspectors of Election:  At all elections of directors, the proxies
shall be received and all questions relating to the qualifications to vote and
the validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes shall be
decided, and the ballots, if any, shall be received and counted by two
inspectors. Such inspectors shall be appointed by the presiding officer of the
meeting, shall be sworn faithfully to execute their duties with strict
impartiality and according to the best of their ability, and shall in writing
certify to their findings. No director or officer or candidate for election as
director shall be appointed to act as inspector.

     10. Number:  (a) The number of directors which shall constitute the whole
Board shall be eleven (11). At the 1985 annual meeting of stockholders, the
directors shall be divided into three classes, of three directors per class,
with the term of office of the first class to expire at the 1986 annual meeting
of stockholders, the term of office of the second class to expire at the 1987
annual meeting of stockholders and the term of office of the third class to
expire at the 1988 annual meeting of stockholders. At each annual meeting of
stockholders following such initial classification and election, directors
elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a
term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders
after their election; directors elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for a
term equal to the remaining term of office of the class to which such directors
shall have been elected.
 
     (b) Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of the
capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors (hereinafter in these By-Laws referred to as the "Voting Stock") then
outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the
authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors
resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from
office or other cause may be filled only by a majority vote of the directors
then in office, though less than a quorum, and directors so chosen shall hold
office for a term expiring at the next regular annual meeting of stockholders at
which directors are to be elected. No decrease in the authorized number of
directors constituting the entire Board of Directors shall shorten the term of
any incumbent director.
 
     (c) Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of the
Voting Stock then outstanding, any director, or the entire Board of Directors,
may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the
directors or by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80 percent of
the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the Voting Stock,
voting together as a single class.
 
     11. Powers:  The property and business of the corporation shall be managed
by its board of directors, which may exercise all such powers of the corporation
and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the
certificate of incorporation or by these by-laws directed or required to be
exercised or done by the stockholders.
 
     12. Organization Meeting:  The first meeting of each newly elected board
shall be held immediately following the annual meeting of stockholders at the
same place, or shall be held at such other time and place either within or
without the State of New York as shall be fixed by the vote of the stockholders
at the annual meeting, unless the newly elected board shall by unanimous consent
fix a different time and place, in which event the meeting shall be held at the
time and place fixed by the directors. No notice of such meeting shall be
necessary, but the consent to the time and place of such meeting given by any
director who is not present at the meeting shall be in writing.
 
     13. Regular Meetings:  Regular meetings of the board may be held without
notice at such time and place either within or without the State of New York or

determined by the board.

notice by mail or twenty-four (24) hours notice by telephone, telegram,
cablegram or radiogram to each director; special meetings shall be called by the
President, Vice President or Secretary in like manner and on like notice at the
written request of a majority of the directors.
 
     15. Quorum:  At all meetings of the board, a majority of the directors then
in office shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at
any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the board of
directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by the statute or by
the certificate of incorporation or by these by-laws.
 
     15A. Action by Unanimous Consent:  Any action required or permitted to be
taken by the board or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting of

such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of
the corporation, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such
certificate or certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the corporation and
be used and delivered as though the officer or officers who signed the said
certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall
have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the
corporation.
 
                               TRANSFERS OF STOCK
 
     35. The stock of the corporation shall be transferable or assignable only
on the books of the corporation by the holder thereof, in person or by duly
authorized attorney, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates for such
shares duly endorsed for transfer. The board of directors may appoint a transfer
agent or transfer agents or registrar or registrars of transfers for any class
or classes of capital stock of the corporation, and may require all

incorporation, shall have power to close the stock transfer books of the
corporation for a period not exceeding fifty days preceding the date of any
meeting of stockholders or the date for payment of any dividend or the date for
the allotment of rights or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of
capital stock shall go into effect or for a period of not exceeding fifty days
in connection with obtaining the consent of stockholders for any purpose;
provided, however, that in lieu of closing the stock transfer books as
aforesaid, the board of directors may fix in advance a date, not exceeding fifty
days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders or the date for the
payment of any dividend or the date for the allotment of rights, or the date
when any change or conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into effect,
or a date in connection with obtaining such consent, as a record date for the
determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any
such meeting, and any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any
such dividend, or to any such allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in
respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or to give
such consent, and in such case such stockholders, and only such stockholders as
shall be stockholders of record of the date so fixed, shall be entitled to such
notice of, and to vote at, such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or to
receive payment of such dividend, or to receive such allotment of rights, or to
exercise such rights, or to give such consent, as the case may be
notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the corporation after
any such record date fixed as aforesaid.

other notice thereof, except as may be otherwise provided by the laws of New
York.

                               LOST CERTIFICATES
 
     38. The board of directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to
be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the
corporation alleged to have been lost or destroyed, upon the making of an
affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be
lost, and the board of directors, when authorizing such issue of a new
certificate or certificates, may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent
to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost or destroyed certificate
or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such
manner as it shall require and/or give the corporation a bond in such sum as it
may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the
corporation.
 
                       CONTRACTS, LOANS AND BANK ACCOUNTS
 
     39. The board of directors may, except as may otherwise be required by law,
authorize any officer or officers, agent or agents in the name of, and on behalf
of, the corporation to enter into any contract or execute or deliver any

provisions of the certificate of incorporation, if any, may be declared by the
board of directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law. Dividends
may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the capital stock.
 
     42. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds
of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors
from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve fund
to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or
maintaining any property of the corporation, or for such other purpose as the
directors shall think conducive to the interest of the corporation, and the
directors may abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.
 
                                      SEAL
 
     43. The board of directors shall provide a corporate seal which shall be in
