                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Master Plan Committee of Lockheed Martin 
Corporation and Participants of the Lockheed 
Martin Tactical Systems Master Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Loral Master Savings Plan (The "Plan"), which is now known as the
Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems Master Savings Plan, as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes at December 31, 1995 and reportable transactions for the
year ended December 31, 1995, are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the statement of net assets
available for benefits and the statement of changes in net

                                       -2-

assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis
rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and changes in net
assets available for benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                            LORAL MASTER SAVINGS PLAN

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       Plan Description

         The Loral Master Savings Plan (the "Plan") comprises the following
         individual qualified defined contribution 401(k) plans of certain
         divisions and subsidiaries of Loral Corporation (the "Company"): the
         Loral Corporation Deferred Income Savings Plan, the Loral
         Electro-Optical Systems, Inc. 401(k) Matching Contribution Plan, the
         Conic Corporation Deferred Income Retirement Plan, the Loral/Rolm
         Mil-Spec Corp. Retirement Income Savings Plan, the Frequency Sources,
         Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan, the Narda-Western Operations
         401(k) Deferred Income Retirement Plan and the Narda Microwave
         Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan (the "Individual Plans").
         Effective July 1, 1994, the Company established another Individual
         Plan, the Loral Federal Systems Deferred Income Retirement Plan (the
         "LFS Plan"), pursuant to the purchase of substantially all the assets
         and liabilities of IBM Federal Systems Company. At that date, certain
         participants of the IBM Corporation Tax Deferred Savings Plan (the "DSP
         Plan") became participants of the Plan and cash and other assets of
         approximately $172 million in the participants' balances of the DSP
         were transferred to the Plan. Effective May 5, 1995, the Company
         established another Individual Plan, the Loral Defense Systems SIP,
         (the "LDS Plan"), pursuant to the purchase of substantially all the
         assets and liabilities of Unisys Defense Systems. At that date, certain
         participants of the Unisys Savings Plan (the "USP Plan") became
         participants of the Plan and cash and assets of approximately $46
         million were rolled over to the Plan.

         The Plan is a defined contribution 401(k) plan designed to provide
         eligible employees with tax advantaged long-term savings for
         retirement. Participants are able to direct their investment to a
         combination of eight investment options: Loral Corporation Common Stock
         and seven mutual funds managed by Fidelity Management and Research
         Company. In addition, participants in the LFS Plan can direct their
         investment to the Fixed Income Fund.

         The Fixed Income Fund comprises guaranteed investment contracts with
         various financial institutions and the Fidelity Short-term Interest
         Fund. Fidelity Management Trust Company is the investment manager for
         the Fixed Income Fund and as such, places investment contracts with
         various financial institutions. The Plan's investment in the Fixed
         Income Fund represents unsecured obligations of the financial
         institution that issued the investment contract. There are certain
         limitations, as defined in the LFS Plan document, with respect to
         transfers to or from the Fixed Income Fund. Pending the purchase of the
         investment contracts, participants' contributions are invested in the
         Fidelity Short-term Interest Fund.

         The IBM Corporation Common Stock Fund is a carry-over fund from the DSP
         Plan and contributions and reinvestment of dividends into the fund are
         not permitted. Effective January 1, 1996 the IBM Common Stock Fund was

         discontinued and any remaining balance in the fund was transferred to
         the Fidelity Retirement Money Market Trust.

         Complete descriptions of the Plan and the Individual Plans, including
         eligibility requirements and vesting provisions, are contained in the
         Plan and the Individual Plan documents.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Valuation of Investments

         Investments in Loral Corporation Common Stock and IBM Corporation
         Common Stock are valued at the last reported quoted market price on the
         last business day of the year.

         Investments in the Fidelity mutual funds are valued at quoted market
         prices which represent the net asset value per share as reported by
         Fidelity Management and Research Company.

         Effective January 1, 1995, the Plan adopted Statement of Position 94-4
         "Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefit
         Plans and Defined-Contribution Pension Plans". In accordance with this
         statement, investments in the Fixed Income Fund are stated at contract
         value, which approximates fair value, as reported by the issuer. The
         average yields for the Fixed Income Fund for 1995 and 1994 were
         6.86% and 6.96% respectively. The crediting interest rates of the
         investment contracts range from 5.35% to 9.03%. Contract value
         represents the principal amount placed with the issuer plus accrued
         interest at the contract rate.

         Loans receivable from participants are valued at cost which
         approximates fair value.

         The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets the net
         appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which
         consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized
         appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

         Investment Transactions and Investment Income

         Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
         Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is
         accrued as earned.

         Benefits Payable

         Benefits pertaining to 1995 and 1994, which were paid in 1996 and 1995,
         were approximately $2,186,000 and $4,866,000, respectively. These
         payments are reported as liabilities on Form 5500.

                                   (Continued)

         Forfeitures

         Participants vest in Employer Contributions in accordance with the
         provisions of each Individual Plan. Non-vested Employer Contributions
         are forfeited upon termination or withdrawal. These amounts are used to
         reduce future Employer Contributions. Forfeitures for the year ended
         December 31, 1995 were approximately $302,000.

         Reclassifications

         The 1994 statement of net assets available for plan benefits has been
         reclassified to separately present information regarding loans
         receivable from participants.

3.       Contributions

         All active participants may contribute 2% to 6% of their cash
         compensation, as defined, to the Plan as a "Basic Contribution." In
         addition, participants who are making Basic Contributions at the
         maximum rate may elect to contribute an additional amount ranging up to
         11% of their cash compensation as a "Voluntary Contribution", subject
         to Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") limitations. Participants'
         contributions vest immediately and can only be withdrawn pursuant to
         the appropriate provisions of the IRC.

         The Company will contribute amounts ranging from 20% to 100% of the
         participants' Basic Contribution in accordance with the provisions of
         the Individual Plans as an Employer Contribution. The amount of the
         contribution, the type of the contribution, (i.e. cash or company
         stock) the allocation to the various investment funds and limits on the
         contributions credited to a participant are governed by the Individual
         Plan documents.

         As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, there were approximately 18,200 and
         13,300 participants in the Plan, respectively, some of whom have
         elected to invest in more than one fund.

         Although the Company has not expressed an intent to do so, the Company
         can discontinue its contributions and or terminate the Plan at any
         time, subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
         Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). In the event of a discontinuance and or
         termination of the Plan, participants will become 100 percent vested
         and the net assets of the Plan will be allocated among the participants
         and their beneficiaries in accordance with the provisions of ERISA.

*        Represents greater than 5% of total net assets available for plan
         benefits at beginning of the year.

5.       Benefit Payments

         Upon termination, participants receive the vested portion of their
         account balance as soon as practicable after termination. Terminated
         participants who have an account balance in excess of $3,500 may elect
         to leave their account balance in the Plan and withdraw it at any time
         up to age 65.

         Generally a 10% penalty will be imposed on certain withdrawals made
         before the participant reaches age 59 1/2.

         Assets in a participant's account may be withdrawn only for financial
         hardship before termination of employment or before reaching age 59
         1/2. Financial hardship is determined pursuant to provisions of the
         IRC.

                                   (Continued)

6. Loans

         The Plan generally provides for loans to active participants. The
         maximum loan generally allowed to each participant is the lesser of (1)
         $50,000 less the highest outstanding loan balance over the prior year
         or (2) 50% of the vested value of the participant's account in the
         Plan. The minimum loan amount is $1,000. The Individual Plan
         Administrative Committees establish the interest rate and the repayment
         terms, both of which are fixed for the term of the loan. The interest
         rate is based on the prime interest rate, as defined, plus one percent.
         Repayment periods generally range from one to four years, with a nine
         year maximum for loans used in connection with the purchase of a
         principal residence, except for one of the Individual Plans where
         repayment periods range from five to ten years. Loan repayments are
         made through payroll deductions, with principal and interest being
         credited to the participants' fund accounts. Repayment of the entire
         balance is permitted at any time.

7. Tax Status

         The Internal Revenue Service has determined on February 12, 1996, that
         the Plan is a qualified trust under Section 401(a) of the IRC and is
         therefore exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the
         IRC. The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is
         currently being operated in compliance with the applicable regulations
         of the IRC.

8. Administrative Expenses

         As provided for in the Individual Plan documents, certain
         administrative expenses are paid by the Plan. The remaining expenses
         are paid by the Company.

9. Financial Instruments

         Certain Fidelity investment options ("Portfolios") may enter into
         forward foreign currency contracts to protect securities and related
         receivables and payables against fluctuations in future foreign
         currency rates. A forward contract is an agreement to buy or sell
         currencies of different countries on a specified future date at a
         specified rate. Risks associated with such contracts include the
         movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S.
         dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform. The market value
         of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates.

         A Portfolio invests in futures contracts solely for the purposes of
         hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Portfolio
         intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in
         prevailing market interest rates. The use of futures transactions
         involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of
         futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets, and
         the possible inability of counterparties to meet the term of their
         contracts. When the contract is closed, the Portfolio

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Continued)

         records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
         value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the
         time when it was closed.

10. Risks and Uncertainties
         
         The plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
         stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds and other
         investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various
         risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of
         risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of
         uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities,
         it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near
         term would materially affect participants' account balances and the
         amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for plan
         benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan
         benefits.
      
11. Subsequent Event

         Effective April 23, 1996, Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed
         Martin") acquired substantially all the outstanding shares of Loral
         Corporation common stock for $38.00 per share plus one share of Loral
         Space & Communications, Ltd. common stock. The cash received was
         invested in the Fidelity Retirement Money Market Trust and participants
         were able to transfer a part or all of these proceeds into any of the
         other available investment options in the Plan. Participants can make
         no further investment in Loral Space & Communications, Ltd. common
         stock. Subsequently, the Plan name has been changed to the Lockheed
         Martin Tactical Systems Master Savings Plan. Lockheed Martin plans to
         continue operating the Plan in accordance with the current Plan
         documents.
