Item 5.  Other Events



Registrant, Northrop Grumman Corporation, a Delaware corporation, was formerly
known as Northrop Corporation.  The Certificate of Incorporation was amended to
change the name from Northrop Corporation to Northrop Grumman Corporation
pursuant to shareholder approval at the Annual Shareholders Meeting on May 18,
1994 in Los Angeles, California.  The Certificate of Amendment was filed with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 18, 1994 and became
effective the same date.  The name was changed following a successful tender
offer by Northrop Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Northrop
Corporation, for Grumman Corporation.<PAGE>
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits

(b) Pro forma financial information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements combine on a
pro forma basis the consolidated financial statements of Northrop Grumman
Corporation, formerly known as Northrop Corporation, ("Northrop") and of
Grumman Corporation ("Grumman").  The unaudited pro forma balance sheet has
been prepared as if Northrop had purchased Grumman on March 31, 1994.  The pro
forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1993 and for the
three months ended March 31, 1994 were prepared as if Northrop had purchased
Grumman on January 1, 1993 and January 1, 1994, respectively.  The acquisition
of Grumman is accounted for in these pro forma financial statements using the
purchase method of accounting.  The purchase price has been allocated to the
underlying assets and liabilities of Grumman based on preliminary estimates of
their respective fair values.  During the remainder of 1994 these estimates
will be refined and changes, if any, will be reflected in the Company's 1994
Annual Report on Form 10K.

These unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements and the accompanying
notes are intended to be used for informational purposes only and are not
necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of operations had
the acquisition of Grumman occurred as of the dates indicated and are not
intended to be indicative of future results.

           Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


 a.      Adjustments to record $2-billion term loans obtained to finance the
         acquisition of Grumman, accrue $127 million for the payment of the
         balance of Grumman shares still outstanding along with additional
         acquisition related costs and to assign the purchase price to assets
         acquired and liabilities assumed.  The allocation of the purchase
         price to assets and liabilities is based on preliminary estimates of
         their respective fair values and may subsequently be adjusted.

 b.      Adjustment to reflect the Special Purpose Vehicles industry segment as
         discontinued operations.  Management intends to dispose of the Special
         Purpose Vehicles industry segment previously operated by Grumman and
         therefor these operations have been excluded from the Statements of
         Operations and included in the caption Investment in and advances to
         affiliates and sundry assets on the Statement of Financial Position.  

 c.      Adjustment to reflect change in the method of recognizing revenue on
         certain government contracts applied by Grumman to conform with
         revenue recognition policy applied by Northrop.

 d.      Adjustment to record Grumman retiree benefits liabilities in excess of
         market value of assets at March 31, 1994.  Management is in the
         process of reviewing the Grumman health and welfare benefit plans and
         based on the results of that review the fair value of the liability
         may be adjusted.

 e.      Adjustment to: 1) record interest on term loans used to finance the
         acquisition of Grumman at the estimated effective rate of 5.5%; 2)
         amortize goodwill over a 40 year period on a straight line basis; and
         3) amortize other purchased intangible assets on a straight line basis
         over periods ranging from 3 to 38 years, with a weighted average life
         of 23 years.

 f.      Adjustments to eliminate certain expenses which will not be incurred
         on an ongoing basis.

 g.      Adjustment to record the income tax effects of pretax pro forma
         adjustments.
