                       LORAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
     been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of the Company, include all
     adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
     presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules. The
     Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
     information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated statements
     of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1993 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. It
     is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with
     the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the
     Company's latest annual report.
 
2.   ACQUISITIONS:
 
     Effective June 1, 1992, the Company acquired the minority partner's 41%
     equity interest in Loral Aerospace Holdings, Inc. ("LAH") through the
     issuance of 12,313,810 shares of Loral Common Stock and 627.3 shares of LAH
     Series S Preferred Stock.
 
     On August 31, 1992, the Company, through its newly formed wholly-owned
     subsidiary Loral Vought Systems Corporation ("LVS"), acquired certain
     assets and assumed certain liabilities of the missile business of LTV
     Aerospace and Defense Company for $254,250,000 in cash, including
     acquisition costs.
 
     These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases. As such, the
     condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the results of
     operations of the acquired entity and the elimination of the minority
     interest from the respective dates of acquisition. Had these acquisitions
     occurred on April 1, 1992, the unaudited pro forma sales, income before
     cumulative effect of changes in accounting and earnings per share before
     cumulative effect of changes in accounting for the nine months ended
     December 31, 1992 would have been: $2,790,800,000; $110,100,000; and $1.42,
     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.
 
     In April 1993, the Company acquired the advanced simulation business of
     Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc. for $6,000,000 in cash plus acquisition costs.
     In September 1993, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
     liabilities of Quintron Corporation for $20,577,000 in cash, subject to
     adjustment, plus acquisition costs. These acquisitions are not expected to
     have a material effect on the operations of the Company.
 
     Performance under contracts in process at the dates of acquisition
     contributed after-tax income of $32,909,000 and $31,839,000, net of
     after-tax interest cost on debt related to the acquisitions, and
     incremental amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired of
     $14,798,000 and $14,151,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1993 and
     1992, respectively.

4.   DEBT:
 
     On September 9, 1993, the Company issued $200,000,000 7% Senior Debentures
     due 2023. These debentures are not callable and do not contain a sinking
     fund provision.
 
     On September 27, 1993, the Company filed a shelf registration statement to
     issue up to $300,000,000 of debt securities.
 
5.   INCOME TAXES:
 
     On August 10, 1993, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (the
     "Act") was signed into law. One provision of the Act increased the Federal
     corporate income tax rate from 34% to 35% retroactively to January 1, 1993.
     As a result, the effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 1993
     increased to 38%. The impact of this provision on the results for the nine
     months ended December 31, 1993 was not significant. The additional tax
     benefit resulting from revaluing deferred tax assets at the higher tax rate
     is substantially offset by the higher tax rate imposed on income. The
     impact of other provisions of the Act is currently being evaluated.

6.   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
 
     On September 20, 1993, the shareholders approved an increase in the number
     of authorized shares of Common Stock from 70,000,000 to 150,000,000.
 
     On October 7, 1993, the Company completed a two-for-one stock split in the
     form of a 100% stock distribution for shareholders of record on September
     28, 1993.
 
     All share and per share information have been adjusted to reflect the
     two-for-one stock split.
 
7.   OTHER EVENTS:
 
     On December 12, 1993, the Company signed a definitive agreement to purchase
     substantially all the assets and liabilities of the Federal Systems Company
     ("Federal Systems"), a division of International Business Machines
     Corporation. The purchase price of $1,575,000,000, subject to adjustment,
     will be initially financed through bank borrowings.
 
     Effective January 1, 1994, through the date of closing, expected to occur
     during the first calendar quarter of 1994, Federal Systems will be operated
     for the benefit of and at the risk of the Company.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
     On August 31, 1992, the Company, through its newly formed wholly-owned
subsidiary Loral Vought Systems Corporation ("LVS"), acquired the missile
business of LTV Aerospace and Defense Company. The results of operations of LVS
are included from the date of acquisition. (See Note 2 to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.) In March 1993, retroactive to April 1, 1992, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" ("SFAS 106"). On
July 27, 1993, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split which
was distributed on October 7, 1993. All share and per share information have
been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split. (See Note 6 to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.)
 
     On December 12, 1993, the Company signed a definitive agreement to purchase
substantially all the assets and liabilities of the Federal Systems Company
("Federal Systems"), a division of International Business Machines Corporation.
This transaction will impact the Company's results of operations and financial
condition commencing in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1994. (See Note 7 to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)
 
COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND DECEMBER 31, 1992
 
     Sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1993 decreased to $902,003,000
from $941,141,000 in the prior year. Net income increased to $56,945,000, or
$.68 per share, compared with $41,417,000, or $.52 per share, in the prior year.
Earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 1993, are based on
83,888,000 primary weighted average shares outstanding, compared with 79,134,000
in the prior year.
 
     The sales decrease is attributable primarily to lower volume on the
AN/BSY-2 combat control system for the U.S. Navy's SSN-21 attack submarine,
Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) for the U.S. Army, Sidewinder air-to-air
missiles, VT-1 missiles, sonar systems for Romeo-class submarines and ALQ-178
radar warning and electronic countermeasures systems for foreign F-16 aircraft;
offset by higher volume on the ALQ-131 receiver/processor for F-16 and F-111
radar jamming pods, F/A-18 Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) targeting and weapon
delivery system, MLRS for foreign customers and Vertical Launch Antisubmarine
Rocket (VLA).
 
     Operating income increased to $97,952,000 from $76,367,000 in the prior
year. Operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 10.9% from 8.1%, as
a result of net improved margins due to operating efficiencies and favorable
sales mix for the acquired LVS business, primarily due to increased foreign
sales, and lower postretirement health care and life insurance costs due to
various plan amendments the Company adopted in March 1993.
 
     Net interest expense decreased by $3,801,000 from the prior year, primarily
due to the benefits from continued strong cash flow and lower overall interest
costs due to lower market interest rates and a series of debt reshaping steps
initiated by the Company in the second half of last year.
 
     As a result of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, the effective
tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 1993 increased to 38% from 37% in
the prior year. (See Note 5 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
     The Company improved its financial position with the debt (net of
cash) - equity ratio decreasing to .17:1 from .35:1 at March 31, 1993 and the
current ratio improving to 2.0:1 from 1.8:1 at March 31, 1993. The Company's
free cash flow (net cash from operating activities, less capital expenditures,
plus proceeds of stock purchases by employee benefit plans and exercises of
stock options) was $231,901,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1993. The
Company expects positive cash flow for the remainder of the fiscal year before
any consideration of the impact of the Federal Systems acquisition.

     In continuing with the Company's debt reshaping program, in September 1993,
the Company issued $200,000,000 7% Senior Debentures due 2023 and filed a new
shelf registration statement to issue up to $300,000,000 of debt securities.
 
     The Federal Systems purchase price of $1,575,000,000, subject to
adjustment, will be initially financed through bank facilities totalling
$1,700,000,000. These facilities will replace the Company's existing
$600,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a group of banks. Based on the
expected financial condition of the Company following the close of the
transaction, 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.
 
COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND DECEMBER 31, 1992
 
     Sales for the nine months ended December 31, 1993, totaled $2,588,087,000,
compared with $2,361,343,000 in the prior year. Net income for the nine months
ended December 31, 1993 increased to $144,013,000, or $1.72 per share, compared
with $101,696,000, or $1.36 per share, in the prior year before the cumulative
effect of adopting SFAS 106.
 
     Earnings per share are based on 83,644,000 primary weighted average shares
outstanding, compared with 75,027,000 in the prior year.
 
     The sales increase was attributable to the results of the acquired LVS
business. Sales also includes higher volume on the ALQ-131 receiver/processor
for F-16 and F-111 radar jamming pods, Vertical Launch Antisubmarine Rocket
(VLA) and ALR-56M radar warning systems; offset by lower volume on Sidewinder
air-to-air missiles, ALQ-178 radar warning and electronic countermeasures
systems for foreign F-16 aircraft, Special Operations Forces Aircrew Training
System (SOF-ATS), Simulated Area Weapons Effect (SAWE) training system and
Chaparral air-defense system.
 
     Operating income increased to $246,530,000 from $192,676,000 in the prior
year. Operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 9.5% from 8.2%, as
a result of net improved margins due to operating efficiencies and favorable
sales mix for the acquired LVS business, primarily due to increased foreign
sales, lower pension costs resulting from acquired pension plans and lower
postretirement health care and life insurance costs due to various plan
amendments the Company adopted in March 1993.
 
     Net interest expense decreased by $5,796,000 from the prior year, primarily
due to the benefits from continued strong cash flow and lower overall interest
costs due to lower market interest rates and a series of debt reshaping steps
initiated by the Company in the second half of last year, offset by the impact
of debt incurred as a result of the acquisition of LVS and non-recurring gains
on certain investments in the prior year.
 
     The impact of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 was not
significant. (See Note 5 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)
 
     The minority interest charge was eliminated effective June 1, 1992, due to
the Company's acquisition of the minority partner's interest in LAH. (See Note 2
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)
 
     As a result of adopting SFAS 106, the Company recorded charges in the prior
year effective April 1, 1992, net of minority interest, for the cumulative
effect of the accounting change of $330,499,000 pre-tax, $233,377,000 after-tax,
or $3.11 per share.
