NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have 
been prepared by management in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q 
of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  They do not include all 
information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial 
position, results of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  They do, 
however, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (all of which 
were normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results 
for the periods presented.  The financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Notes and Independent Auditors' Report contained in the 
company's 1994 Annual Report.

Inventories
The company's inventories consist primarily of work in process related to 
long-term contracts with customers; therefore further breakdown is considered 
inapplicable.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY'S
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND THE RESULTS OF ITS OPERATIONS.

Sales were 4 percent higher in the second quarter of 1995 versus
the second quarter of 1994.  Sales rose 16 percent in the first
six months of 1995 when compared to the first half of 1994.
Comparative results do not include operating results of acquired
companies prior to acquisition (Grumman Corporation - April 1994
and Vought Aircraft Company (VAC) - August 1994).
     Military and commercial aircraft (MCA) segment sales
increased in the second quarter and first half of 1995 versus
comparable periods of 1994 because of higher revenues on the 
F/A-18, Boeing jetliners, C-17 military transport aircraft and
various other programs associated with the VAC acquisition in
1994.  The increases more than offset the lower overall revenue
on the B-2 program.
     Electronics and systems integration (ESI) segment sales
increased in the second quarter and first six months of 1995 as
compared to the same periods of 1994 as a result of higher
revenues recorded on the E-8 Joint STARS and E-2 Hawkeye
programs.
     The sales increase in the data systems and other services
segment in the first six months of 1995 versus the first half of
last year is principally due to the programs acquired in
connection with the Grumman Corporation acquisition.
     Lower sales in the missiles and unmanned vehicle system
segment resulted from the cancellation of the Tri-Service
Standoff Attack Missile (TSSAM) program in February 1995.
     Sales by major program and units delivered were as shown in
the following table:

     The amount and rate of operating margin earned on sales
during the second quarter and first half of 1995 increased as
compared with the same periods in 1994.  Operating profit in the
MCA segment benefited from a net $34 million in cumulative
operating margin adjustments recorded in the second quarter of
1995.  Positive adjustments on the B-2 stealth bomber and C-17
military transport programs were partially offset by a downward
adjustment on the Boeing 747 jetliner program.  The 747
adjustment reflected cost increases related to the stretch out of
the current production contract, which is now scheduled to
conclude in the summer of 1996.  The B-2 adjustment was made as a
result of negotiated contract adjustments and a revised estimate
of the overall operating margin expected to be earned on the B-2
production contract. The positive adjustment on the C-17
reflected improved operating performance on this program.  This
year's first six months also benefited from the delivery of two 
B-2s, versus none in the first half of 1994, and an increase in
F/A-18 C/D deliveries.  The MCA results for the first six months of
1995 were impacted by $8 million of company sponsored research
and development expenditures, primarily incurred on commercial
aerostructures, and a $4 million charge in the first quarter as a
result of an arbitration ruling related to the F/A-18.  The ESI
segment operating profit increased principally as a result of
higher sales recorded on the E-8 Joint STARS and E-2 Hawkeye
programs.
     Other income was lower in the first half of 1995 compared to
the same period of last year as the first six months of 1994
included $10 million of nonrecurring royalty and dividend income.
     Interest expense for the second quarter of 1995 was $3
million higher than the corresponding quarter in 1994.  Interest
expense for the first six months of 1995 was $32 million higher
than the first half of 1994 following the $800 million increase
in average debt outstanding between the two years' first halves
and a slightly higher rate of interest incurred on borrowed funds
in 1995.
     The company's effective federal income tax rate was 38.4
percent for the first six months of 1995 versus 36.8 percent for
the comparable period in 1994.  The change in the 1995 rate was
caused by an increase in the amount of expenses not deductible
for income taxes, primarily the amortization of goodwill which
began in the second quarter of 1994 as a result of the
acquisition of Grumman Corporation.
     During the first half of 1995, $173 million of cash was
generated from operations versus $354 million in last years first
six months and was more than sufficient to finance capital
expenditures and dividends.  The company's liquidity and
financial flexibility will continue to be provided by cash flow
generated from operating activities, supplemented by the
borrowing capacity available under its $800 million revolving
credit agreement and other short-term credit facilities.

Part II   OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

Walsh, et al. v. Northrop Grumman Corporation

The  Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
March  31,  1995  updated the discussion of this  matter  in  the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December
31,  1994.  This litigation is being defended vigorously and  the
Company  does not expect it to have a material adverse effect  on
the Company's financial condition.

U.S. Government Investigation

On  May  3, 1995 federal agents executed search warrants  at  the
Military  Aircraft  Division  facilities  in  Hawthorne  and   El
Segundo,  California.  Since that time, the Company  has  learned
that  the  United  States Attorney for the  Central  District  of
California is conducting a Grand Jury investigation of the F/A 18
and Targets Programs at the Military Aircraft Division.  Although
the  Government has declined to inform the Company of the details
of  the  investigation, it has confirmed that there are no issues
regarding flight safety.
