INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Administrative Committee of the
  Northrop Grumman Electronic Sensors &
  Systems Division Savings and Investment Program:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Northrop Grumman Electronic Sensors & Systems Division Savings
and Investment Program (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the
year ended December 31, 1998. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for plan benefits as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year
ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were conducted 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, 1998, and reportable transactions for
the year then ended 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 supplemental information by fund in the statement of net assets
available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available
for plan benefits is presented for the purpose of additional analysis rather
than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net
assets available for plan benefits of the individual funds. The supplemental
schedules and supplemental information by fund are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Such supplemental schedules and supplemental information by
fund 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 when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

NORTHROP GRUMMAN ELECTRONIC SENSORS & SYSTEMS DIVISION
SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PROGRAM

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

    The following description of the Northrop Grumman Electronic Sensors and
    Systems Division Savings and Investment Plan (the "Plan") provides only
    general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a
    more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

    General - The Plan is a qualified profit sharing and employee stock
    ownership plan sponsored by the former Electronic Sensors & Systems Division
    of Northrop Grumman Corporation (the "Company"). The Plan was established on
    March 1, 1996 and covers all regular employees who are citizens of the
    United States of America or resident aliens and are not covered by another
    plan. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
    Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").

    The Plan was established by the Company as a successor to the Westinghouse
    Savings Program (the "Predecessor Plan"), maintained by Westinghouse
    Electric Corporation ("Westinghouse") for the benefit of employees who were
    employed by the Westinghouse Electronic Systems Group as of February 29,
    1996 and became employees of the Company as of March 1, 1996, and any other
    subsequent eligible employees of the Company. Plan participants should refer
    to the Plan agreement.

    Contributions - Plan participants may contribute between 2% and 20% of
    eligible compensation, in increments of 1% on an after-tax basis, a pre-tax
    basis, or a combination thereof. As of the end of each month, for each
    dollar a participant contributes, the Company makes a matching contribution
    of $0.50, subject to a maximum Company matching contribution of 3% of
    eligible compensation for that month.

    A participant other than a terminated participant who has received a
    rollover distribution from a qualified defined contribution plan or a
    distribution from an individual retirement account may elect to roll over
    not more than the cash value of the distribution, less any amount
    attributable to the participant's after-tax contributions, to his or her
    Standard account within 60 days of receipt of such distribution. The
    participant may elect to invest any amount rolled over or transferred to the
    Plan in any of the investment options available in increments of 1%.

    Participant Accounts - A separate account is maintained for each
    participant, each of which has subaccounts. After-tax contributions are
    allocated to the participant's Standard Account, and pre-tax contributions
    are allocated to the participant's Tax-Deferred Account. Company matching
    contributions are allocated to the participant's Company Matching
    Contribution Account ("Matching Account"). Assets of the trust are valued
    daily, and take into account earnings and losses of the trust along with
    appreciation or depreciation, expenses and distributions.

    Vesting - Plan participants are 100% vested in, and have a nonforfeitable
    right to, the balance of their Standard and Tax-Deferred accounts at all
    times. Plan participants as of March 1, 1996 who had a 100% vested interest

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

    in their accounts under the Predecessor Plan as of February 29, 1996 shall
    be 100% vested in their Company Matching Contribution Accounts as of March
    1, 1996. All other plan participants who were not fully vested as of March
    1, 1996 in their Company Matching Contribution Accounts will not be vested
    in any portion of their Company Matching Contribution Accounts until they
    accrue five years of service, at which time they become 100% vested in and
    have a nonforfeitable right to their Company Matching Contribution Accounts.
    Company Matching Contribution Accounts become 100% vested upon retirement or
    death.

    Investment Options - Upon enrollment in the Plan, each participant may
    direct that his or her accounts, in 1% increments, be invested in any of the
    following 11 investment funds:

      Janus Fund
      Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio
      American Century Ultra Investors
      JPM Institutional Diversified Fund
      JPM Institutional International Equity Fund
      BT Investment Lifecycle Short Range Fund
      BT Investment Lifecycle Mid Range Fund
      BT Investment Lifecycle Long Range Fund
      BT Investment Equity 500 Index Fund
      Fixed Income Contract Fund
      Northrop Grumman Fund

    The CBS Common Stock Fund was transferred from the Predecessor Plan. This
    fund was frozen, and no employee contributions have been allowed since the
    transfer.

    Participant Notes Receivable - Participants may borrow from their fund
    accounts a minimum of $1,000, in $100 increments, equal to the lesser of
    $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding
    12 months or 50% of their account balance. A participant may not have more
    than two outstanding loans at any given time. Loan transfers are treated as
    a transfer to (from) the investment fund from (to) the loan fund. Loans may
    be prorated across all investment funds or directed against specific funds
    based on the participant's request. Loans are secured by the balance in the
    participant's account and bear interest determined at the Bankers Trust
    prime interest rate on the close of business on the last business day of the
    preceding calendar month plus 1%. Repayments are made from monthly payroll
    deductions over a period of 6 to 60 months, in increments of 6 months.

    Payment of Benefits - On termination of service due to retirement, a
    participant may elect to receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the
    participant's vested interest in his or her account, or monthly or annual
    installments, the amount of which is determined by the participant at
    retirement. A retired participant may cancel or change such election at any
    time, and may also elect a partial distribution. For termination of service
    due to other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested
    interest in his or her account as a lump-sum amount, or leave his or her
    vested account in the plan if he or she has not yet reached normal
    retirement age; however, amounts must be withdrawn in a lump sum by the
    terminated participant's normal retirement age. Death benefits for active
    participants are to be paid to the designated beneficiary in a lump sum, or,
    if the designated beneficiary is also the surviving spouse, he or she may
    elect to leave the vested balance in the Plan and be treated as the retired
    participant. Death benefits for terminated employees are paid in a lump sum
    to the designated beneficiary.

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

    Withdrawals - A vested participant is permitted to make a withdrawal for any
    reason from his or her Standard or Matching Account. A vested participant is
    permitted to make a withdrawal for any reason from his or her Tax-Deferred
    Account upon the attainment of age 59-1/2, or prior to the attainment of age
    59-1/2 in the case of hardship (as described in the plan document). A
    nonvested participant is permitted to make a withdrawal for any reason from
    the portion of his or her Standard Account which represents contributions
    that were not matched by contributions in the Matching Account. A nonvested
    participant is permitted to make a withdrawal from that portion of his or
    her Standard Account which represents contributions that were not matched by
    contributions in the Matching Account only in the case of hardship. A
    nonvested participant is permitted to make a withdrawal from his or her
    Tax-Deferred Account in the case of hardship. A nonvested participant is not
    permitted to make a withdrawal from the Matching Account.

    Forfeited Accounts - Any amounts forfeited shall be used to reduce the
    Company's obligation to make company matching contributions under the Plan.
    Employer contributions were reduced by $183,411 and $201,792 from forfeited
    nonvested accounts in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

B.  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Basis of Accounting - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared
    under the accrual basis of accounting.

    Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
    with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
    estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
    liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
    of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
    expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
    those estimates.

    Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan's investments are
    stated at fair value based on quoted market prices except for its
    investments in insurance and investment contracts, which are valued at
    contract value (see Note C). Participant notes receivable are valued at
    cost, which approximates fair value.

    Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
    Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on
    the ex-dividend date.

    Broker commissions, transfer taxes and other charges and expenses incurred
    in connection with the purchase, sale or other disposition of securities or
    other investments held by the Plan are added to the cost of the securities
    or other investments or are deducted from the proceeds of the sale or other
    disposition thereof, as appropriate. Taxes (if any) on the assets of the
    funds, or on any gain resulting from the sale or other disposition of such
    assets, or on the earnings of the funds, are apportioned in such a manner as
    the trustees deem equitable among the participants and former participants
    (if any) whose interests in the Plan are affected, and the share of such
    taxes apportioned to each person is charged against his or her account of
    the Plan.

    Payment of Benefits - Benefits are recorded when paid. As of December 31,
    1998, benefits payable to participants are $292,155. There were no benefits
    payable to participants as of December 31, 1997.

                                      -16-

C.  INVESTMENT CONTRACTS WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES

    All investment and insurance contracts held by the Plan are considered to be
    fully benefit - responsive and, therefore, are reported at contract value.
    Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus
    interest at the contract rate, less withdrawals and administrative expenses.

    The following information is disclosed for the investment and insurance
    contracts within the Northrop Grumman Stable Value Master Trust (the "Master
    Trust") as of December 31, 1998, and the Fixed Income Fund as of December
    31, 1997 (in millions):

                                                       1998                1997

       Contract value of assets:                      $1,299             $ 318
       Fair value of assets:                          $1,343             $ 337
       Average yield of assets on December 31:           .00 %            6.72 %
       Crediting interest rate of assets at
         December 31:                                   7.08 %            5.95 %
       Duration:                                  2.58 years        2.90 years

D.  INVESTMENTS

    Except for its insurance and investment contracts (see Note C), the Plan's
    investments as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, are stated at fair value as
    determined by quoted market prices.

    On January 1, 1998, Northrop Grumman Corporation pooled all of the
    insurance and investment contracts for the Northrop Grumman Corporation
    Savings and Investment Plan Master Trust, the Northrop Grumman Master
    Trust, and the contracts held by the Northrop Grumman Electronic Sensors
    and Systems Division Savings and Investment Program into the Northrop
    Grumman Stable Value Master Trust.

    Investments held at contract value in the Master Trust as of December 31,
    1998 are as follows (in thousands):

      Guaranteed and Bank Investment Contracts                      $1,298,790
      Northrop Retirement Savings Temporary Investment Fund             60,090
      Accrued Income                                                       113
                                                                    ----------
      Total                                                         $1,358,993
                                                                    ==========


    The Plan's investment in the Master Trust as of December 31, 1998 is as
    follows (in thousands):

      Contract Value of guaranteed and bank investment contracts    $  392,637

      Percentage of ownership                                           28.89%

    Investment income in the Master Trust was $91,158,197 for the year ended
    December 31, 1998.

                                      -17-

E.  PLAN TERMINATION

    Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
    under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate
    the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of the Plan's
    termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

F.  TAX STATUS

    The Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal
    Revenue Code of 1986, (the "IRC") as amended, and to include a qualified
    cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the IRC. The Company
    believes that the Plan is designed and currently being operated in
    compliance with the applicable provisions of the IRC.
