OTHER INFORMATION
The information in the Prospectus set forth under the caption "RISK FACTORS-
Relationship with MDC" is supplemented by the following:
MDC has accepted, with clarifications, a proposal from the Department of
Defense on an overall business settlement of a variety of issues
concerning the C-17 program. In connection with the settlement, MDC
recorded a charge to pre-tax earnings of approximately $450 million in the
fourth quarter of 1993. The settlement is not expected to result in a
significant adverse cash impact to MDC. MDC and the U.S. Air Force will
be developing plans, contractual modifications and agreements to implement
the business arrangement, which is subject to congressional authorization
and appropriations.
The U.S. Navy has advised MDC and General Dynamics Corporation ("GD") that
the 1993 review of the deferment agreement between MDC, GD and the Navy
with respect to the A-12 aircraft is continuing, in particular with
respect to the impact of the C-17 settlement between the Government and
MDC described in the preceding paragraph. The Navy has stated that MDC
and GD will be advised of the results of the review and any action that
may be taken by the Government on or about February 4, 1994. MDC and GD
also were advised that this timing does not suggest any adverse
implication for the outcome of the review. MDC firmly believes it is
entitled to have the deferment agreement continued and did not agree to
the Navy's unilateral continuation of the review.
MDC believes it is likely that the weakness of the commercial aircraft
market will continue during 1994.
