                       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 income for the three and six months ended September 30, 1994 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.  ACCOUNTING CHANGE:
 
    Effective April 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
    Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
    Benefits" ("SFAS 112"). SFAS 112 requires that the costs of benefits
    provided to employees after employment but before retirement be recognized
    in the financial statements on an accrual basis. The adoption of SFAS 112
    did not have a material effect on the financial position or results of
    operations of the Company.
 
3.  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.
 
    This acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. As such, the
    condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the results of
    operations of the acquired entity from the date of acquisition. Had this
    acquisition occurred on April 1, 1993, the unaudited pro forma sales, net
    income and earnings per share for the six months ended September 30, 1993
    would have been: $2,791,100,000; $80,200,000; and $.96, respectively. The
    results, which are based on various assumptions, are not necessarily
    indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated
    as of April 1, 1993.
 
    Performance under acquired contracts in process of LFS and prior
    acquisitions contributed after-tax income of $21,829,000 and $23,402,000,
    net of after-tax interest cost on debt related to the acquisitions, and
    incremental amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired of
    $36,365,000 and $9,475,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1994 and
    1993, respectively.

5.  DEBT:
 
    In May 1994, the Company increased its existing shelf registration statement
    to issue up to $800,000,000 of debt or equity securities.
 
    In June 1994, the Company issued $250,000,000 7 5/8% Senior Notes due 2004
    and $400,000,000 8 3/8% Senior Debentures due 2024 under the shelf
    registration statement. These securities are not callable and are not
    subject to any sinking fund provisions. The proceeds were used to reduce the
    Company's outstanding commercial paper borrowings.
 
    The Company has no immediate plans to utilize the remaining balance of
    $150,000,000 available under the shelf registration statement.
 
    In June 1994, the Company cancelled its $500,000,000 364-day revolving
    credit facility.
 
6.  INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES:
 
    In September 1994, the Company exchanged the $30,000,000 14 3/4% pay-in-kind
    Subordinated Convertible Debenture due 2004 (the "Debenture") issued in 1989
    by K & F Industries, Inc. ("K&F") in connection with the purchase by K&F of
    certain divisions of the Company. The Debenture was exchanged for
    $11,514,000 in cash, net of expenses, representing a non-recurring gain
    recorded as interest income, and a 22 1/2% equity interest in K&F. After the
    exchange, the Chairman of Loral owns approximately 27% of K&F. In accordance
    with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 81,
    the Company had not recognized the value of the Debenture and has not
    recognized any value for its 22 1/2% equity interest in K&F.

7.  CONTINGENCIES:
 
    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. In December 1993, the FAA
    initiated a comprehensive review of the contract. In June 1994, the FAA (i)
    reduced the scope of the contract by eliminating certain requirements of the
    program and (ii) suspended certain other program activities pending
    completion of their review. In September 1994, the FAA completed its review
    and announced that LFS would continue as the contractor under a revised
    program. The FAA has requested LFS to submit a proposal for a modified
    contract, and the parties anticipate completing negotiation of the scope and
    structure of the modified contract in early 1995. The ultimate extent of the
    contract modifications 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. In the opinion of management, and in light of
    the potential reduction 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'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
     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. The results of operations of LFS are included from the effective
date of acquisition. (See Note 3 to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.)
 
COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1993
 
     Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 increased to $1.345 billion
from $836.6 million in the prior year. Net income for the quarter ended
September 30, 1994 increased to $66.3 million, or $.78 per share, compared with
$46.7 million or $.56 per share, in the prior year. The results of operations of
LFS contributed $7.6 million, or $.09 per share, to the current quarter's
earnings.
 
     Earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 are based on
85.1 million primary weighted average shares outstanding, compared with 83.7
million in the prior year.
 
     The sales increase was attributable to the sales of LFS business divisions
which, including $81.6 million of sales related to new business awards
subsequent to the acquisition, amounted to $563.9 million. Sales also include
higher volume of $17.0 million for ALR-56M radar warning systems and $8.6
million for the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS); offset by lower volume of
$17.0 million for the F/A-18 Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) targeting and
weapon delivery system, $12.0 million for gyro-optic assemblies for Maverick
missiles, $10.3 million for the Automated Remote Tracking Station (ARTS) and
$8.2 million for the AN/BSY-2 combat control system for the U.S. Navy's SSN-21
attack submarine. The Company has a diverse base of programs, none of which is
expected to account for more than 7% of fiscal 1995 revenues. The change in
sales from period to period includes increases and decreases on a variety of
programs which individually are not significant to the overall sales change.
Although the Company is not immune to the effects of declining U.S. defense
spending, the Company believes that its areas of concentration, its diverse base
of programs, complemented and broadened by the program base of businesses
recently acquired, as well as other business opportunities, will enable the
Company to offset overall U.S. budget decline impacts.
 
     Operating income increased to $123.1 million from $78.4 million in the
prior year. The operating income increase includes $35.3 million attributable to
the results of the acquired LFS business. Operating income as a percentage of
sales declined to 9.1% in the quarter ended September 30, 1994 from 9.4% in the
prior year. However, excluding the effect of the acquired LFS business,
operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 11.2% from 9.4% as a
result of improved margins due to sales mix and operating efficiencies,
particularly at the Loral Vought Systems division.
 
     Interest expense, net of interest and investment income, increased to $14.5
million from $6.8 million in the prior year primarily due to the $23.0 million
impact of debt incurred as a result of the LFS acquisition, offset by a
non-recurring gain, net of expenses, of $11.5 million ($.08 per share) for the
exchange of K&F debentures for cash and equity (see Note 6 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements) and strong cash flow. 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 $388.6 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 1994, of
which $119.0 million was generated in the quarter ended September 30, 1994.
 
     The Company's effective tax rate increased to 38% in the quarter ended
September 30, 1994 from 35.5% in the prior year due to the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993, which was signed into law on August 10, 1993.
 
     Equity in net income (loss) of affiliates was a loss of $1.1 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 1994 compared with income of $.6 million in the
prior year, reflecting the Company's share of the development costs of
Globalstar, a limited partnership formed in March 1994.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
        OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION -- (CONTINUED)
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
     The LFS purchase price was initially financed through cash on hand and
commercial paper borrowings, which were supported by $1.2 billion five year and
$500 million 364-day revolving credit facilities. In May 1994, the Company
increased its existing shelf registration statement to issue up to $800 million
of debt or equity securities. As originally planned, in order to fix interest
costs and lengthen maturities, in June 1994, the Company issued $250 million
7 5/8% Senior Notes due 2004 and $400 million 8 3/8% Senior Debentures due 2024,
under the shelf registration statement. The proceeds were used to reduce the
Company's outstanding commercial paper borrowings, including the $173.5 million
which was classified as current portion of debt at March 31, 1994. Additionally,
the Company cancelled the $500 million 364-day revolving credit facility. The
Company has no immediate plans to utilize the balance available under the shelf
registration statement. (See Note 5 to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.)
 
     The majority of the Company's foreign currency hedges are entered into at
the direction of a customer pursuant to the contractual requirements of one of
the Company's contracts. Any gain or loss on the hedges accrues for the benefit
or detriment of the customer and does not expose the Company to risk. The
remaining foreign currency hedges are not material.
 
     The Company's current ratio improved to 1.6:1 at September 30, 1994,
compared with 1.4:1 at March 31, 1994. The debt (net of cash) to equity ratio
improved to .91:1 at September 30, 1994 from 1.13:1 at March 31, 1994.
 
COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1993
 
     Sales for the six months ended September 30, 1994 increased to $2.690
billion from $1.686 billion in the prior year. Net income for the six months
ended September 30, 1994 increased to $121.2 million, or $1.43 per share,
compared with $87.1 million or $1.04 per share, in the prior year. The results
of operations of LFS contributed $15.5 million, or $.18 per share, to the
current period's earnings.
 
     Earnings per share for the six months ended September 30, 1994 are based on
84.9 million primary weighted average shares outstanding, compared with 83.5
million in the prior year.
 
     The sales increase was attributable to the sales of LFS business divisions
which, including $140.1 million of sales related to new business awards
subsequent to the acquisition, amounted to $1.111 billion. Sales also include
higher volume of $20.5 million for the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) and
$14.5 million for ALR-56M radar warning systems; offset by lower volume of $24.6
million for gyro-optic assemblies for Maverick missiles, $22.7 million for the
AN/BSY-2 combat control system for the U.S. Navy's SSN-21 attack submarine and
$20.6 million for the Automated Remote Tracking Station (ARTS). The Company has
a diverse base of programs, none of which is expected to account for more than
7% of fiscal 1995 revenues. The change in sales from period to period includes
increases and decreases on a variety of programs which individually are not
significant to the overall sales change. Although the Company is not immune to
the effects of declining U.S. defense spending, the Company believes that its
areas of concentration, its diverse base of programs, complemented and broadened
by the program base of businesses recently acquired, as well as other business
opportunities, will enable the Company to offset overall U.S. budget decline
impacts.
 
     Operating income increased to $236.7 million from $148.6 million in the
prior year. The operating income increase includes $68.9 million attributable to
the results of the acquired LFS business. Operating income as a percentage of
sales remained constant at 8.8%. However, excluding the effect of the acquired
LFS business, operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 10.6% in
the six months ended September 30, 1994 from 8.8% in the prior year as a result
of improved margins due to sales mix and operating efficiencies, particularly at
the Loral Vought Systems division.

     Interest expense, net of interest and investment income, increased to $37.4
million from $13.8 million in the prior year primarily due to the $43.9 million
impact of debt incurred as a result of the LFS acquisition, offset by a
non-recurring gain, net of expenses, of $11.5 million ($.08 per share) for the
exchange of K&F debentures for cash and equity (see Note 6 to the Condensed
