                               RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         On December 3, 1998,  Standard & Poor's Corp.  ("S & P") announced that
in conjunction  with a downgrading of Boeing's credit ratings it  simultaneously
lowered its ratings on the Company's  senior unsecured debt,  subordinated  debt
and commercial paper from AA-, A+ and A-1+ to A+, A and A-1, respectively. S & P
reiterated that the Company's  rating outlook remains  "developing",  due to the
continuing  uncertainty  regarding  Boeing's  plans for the Company as described
more fully in the discussion of S & P's prior downgrade of the Company set forth
in Item 5 of the  Company's  Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended  September
30, 1998.

        On September 15, 1998,  Moody's  Investors Service placed Boeing and the
Company's debt ratings on review for possible  downgrade.  On December 21, 1998,
Moody's  Investors  Service  announced that in conjunction with a downgrading of
Boeing's  credit  ratings  it  confirmed  (without  change)  the  ratings of the
Company's senior unsecured debt,  subordinated  debt and commercial paper as A3,
Baa1 and Prime-1, respectively.
