(2) The company recorded in the first quarter of 1994 a restructuring  provision
of $249.8 million  before tax. The restructuring  was driven by the significant
reductions  in  the  defense budget and increasing  commercial   competition.
Approximately  65  percent  of  the  restructuring  costs  are  attributable  to
Raytheon's  defense business and the remainder to its commercial  business.  The
company completed personnel  reductions of 4,400 people under this restructuring
provision,  including  both salaried and bargaining  unit  employees  located in
Massachusetts and other states and in foreign locations. Through March 31, 1996,
$245.2  million of  restructuring  costs  have been  incurred,  of which  $102.8
million was employee related costs and $142.4 million was related principally to
asset disposals and idle facilities. The spending is expected to be completed in
the first half of 1996.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

First Quarter 1996 versus 1995

Raytheon Company  reported record first quarter  earnings of $186.5 million,  or
$.78 per share, on record first quarter sales of $2.769 billion. In 1995's first
quarter,  earnings were $173.9  million,  or $.71 per share,  on sales of $2.387
billion.

Raytheon Engineers & Constructors,  Raytheon Aircraft,  Raytheon  Appliances and
Raytheon E-Systems  contributed to the company's  increased sales. The increased
profits were driven by continuing profit growth in the commercial businesses and
by Raytheon E-Systems.

The Engineering and Construction segment had increased first quarter sales based
principally on increased  volume in the domestic and  international  hydrocarbon
market and increased  effort on government  management and operations  programs,
and increased after tax profits on a stand alone basis due to higher sales
volume.

The Aircraft  segment  reported  increased sales and increased after tax profits
on a stand alone basis due to higher sales to commercial and U. S. government
customers.

The Major  Appliance  segment had  increased  sales and after tax profits on a
stand alone basis despite strong competitive price pressures on home appliance
margins.

In the Electronics segment, sales increased due to the contributions of Raytheon
E-Systems.  The segment's increased after tax profits on a stand alone basis
were due to E-Systems and continuing strong  returns at  commercial electronics.
Revenues declined at Raytheon's Massachusetts-based defense operations due to
the reduced level of defense spending.

Sales  to the U. S.  government  were  $1.146  billion,  an  increase  of $271
million  or 31.0  percent from the comparable quarter of 1995. U. S. government
sales were 41.4 percent of  consolidated  net sales in 1996 compared with 36.7
percent in 1995. The increase in U.S. government sales is due to the acquisition
of E-Systems in May 1995.

Administrative and selling  expenses increased to  $264.7 million in 1996  from
$230.3  million  in 1995 due principally to the acquisition of E-Systems.

Research and development expenses increased to $87.5 million in 1996 from $75.1
million in 1995 due  principally to the acquisition of E-Systems.

Operating  income was $294.5  million or 10.6  percent of sales versus  $256.2
million or 10.7 percent of sales in 1995.

Interest expense for 1996 increased to $54.2 million from $22.7 million in 1995.
The increase was due  principally to the higher debt level from the  acquisition
of E-Systems.

Interest  and  dividend  income for 1996 increased  to $23.6  million from $8.5
million in 1995 due to accrued interest before tax on a federal income tax
refund claim.

Other income  (net) for 1996  declined to $18.1  million  from $23.8  million in
1995. The 1996 results include $20 million before tax from the release of a
contingency  reserve  associated  with  the  recent  sale  of a  business,
partially offset by increased goodwill amortization from the acquisition of
E-Systems.  The 1995 results include a gain of $21.1 million before tax on the
sale of stock held as an investment.

The 1996 effective tax rate of 33.9 percent reflects the statutory  rate of 35
percent reduced principally by Foreign Sales Corporation tax credits and
incremental research and development tax credits applicable to certain
government contracts, partially offset by non-deductible amortization of
goodwill.

For  reasons  discussed  above,  net income  increased  by $12.6  million or 7.2
percent from 1995.

Earnings per common share increased by 9.9 percent to $.78 for the first quarter
of 1996 from $.71 for the first  quarter of 1995.  The average  number of shares
outstanding  during the first  quarter of 1996 was 240.1  million  versus  246.3
million  in 1995.  During the  quarter  outstanding  shares  were  increased  by
approximately  570,000 due to the exercise of employee stock  options.  This was
offset by the repurchase of approximately 570,000 shares in the open market at a
cost of $28.2  million.  The company also  repurchased an additional 1.4 million
shares at a cost of $67.9 million.

On February 22, 1995, the Board of Directors  authorized the repurchase of up to
12 million  shares of the company's  common  stock.  There have been 6.6 million
shares purchased under this authorization through the first quarter of 1996.

The book  value of common  shares  outstanding  at the end of the  period was
$18.16 as compared with $17.83 at December 31, 1995 and $16.47 at April 2, 1995.

All share and per share data have been restated for the two-for-one stock split
on October 23, 1995.

U.S. government backlog
   included above                $5,045        $5,142        $3,438

The increase in the Electronics  backlog and the U. S. government portion of the
total backlog from April 2, 1995,  reflects the  acquisition  of E-Systems.  The
Electronics  backlog at March 31, 1996,  includes  $1.1  billion  related to the
SIVAM  contract  awarded by the  government of Brazil to monitor and protect the
Amazon River rain  forest.  The  Brazilian  Senate is  currently  reviewing  the
President's  request  to  modify  the  Senate  financing  resolutions  that were
approved  in December  of 1994.  This vote is expected to take place  during the
first half of 1996.

During the first quarter of 1996 there was a negative cash flow from  operations
of $231.6 million.  Net income plus  depreciation  and  amortization  provided a
positive cash flow of $273.7  million but this was more than offset by increases
in inventories and long-term receivables,  increased contracts in process due to
higher sales volume and a lower level of current liabilities. During the quarter
funds  were  used for  additions  to  property,  plant and  equipment  of $104.0
million,  dividends of $47.9 million and for treasury  share  purchases of $96.1
million. As a result of the above,  short-term debt increased by $490.8 million.
The  company  expects  that the cash flow from  operations  and  available  debt
financing will be sufficient to meet its funding requirements in 1996.

Debt,  net of cash and  marketable  securities,  was $3,011 million at March 31,
1996, as compared with $2,494  million at December 31, 1995,  and $1,236 million
at April 2, 1995.  Net debt as a  percentage  of total  capitalization  was 40.9
percent at March 31, 1996,  as compared  with 36.7 percent at December 31, 1995,
and 23.4 percent at April 2, 1995.

Capital  expenditures  were $104.0  million for the first quarter of 1996 versus
$55.4 million in the first quarter of 1995, due to increased  1996  expenditures
at the Aircraft Segment and the acquisition of E-Systems.  Capital  expenditures
in 1996 are  expected  to be above  the 1995  level,  excluding  the  effect  of
acquisitions.

Dividends  declared to stockholders  during the first quarter of 1996 were $47.9
million versus $46.2 million in 1995. During the quarter, the Board of Directors
declared a 6.7 percent  increase in the company's first quarter  dividend,  from
$.1875 to $.20 per share.

Total  employment  was  72,900  at March 31,  1996 as  compared  with  73,200 at
December 31, 1995, and 60,500 at April 2, 1995. The increase from April 2, 1995,
is principally due to the acquisition of E-Systems.

Shortly after the close of the quarter, Raytheon announced that it has agreed to
purchase Chrysler  Technologies'  aircraft  modification and defense electronics
businesses  from Chrysler  Corporation for $455 million in cash. The purchase is
subject to  Hart-Scott-Rodino  clearance  and is expected to close in the second
quarter 1996. The two Chrysler Technologies businesses being  acquired--Chrysler
Technologies Airborne Systems, Inc. and Electrospace Systems, Inc.--are expected
to add slightly to Raytheon's earnings in 1996, and increasingly add to earnings
in  1997  and  beyond.  Chrysler  Technologies  will  become  part  of  Raytheon
E-Systems.  The acquisition is consistent with Raytheon's successful strategy to
remain a top tier defense contractor as well as a strong, diversified commercial
company.

Raytheon  also  announced  on  April  10 that it has  completed  the sale of its
Xyplex, Inc. subsidiary to Whittaker  Corporation for $117.5 million in cash and
securities.

The company  recorded in the first quarter of 1994 a restructuring  provision of
$249.8  million  before tax.  The  restructuring  was driven by the  significant
reductions  in  the  defense  budget  and  increasing  commercial   competition.
Approximately  65  percent  of  the  restructuring  costs  are  attributable  to
Raytheon's  defense business and the remainder to its commercial  business.  The
company completed personnel  reductions of 4,400 people under this restructuring
provision,  including  both salaried and bargaining  unit  employees  located in
Massachusetts and other states and in foreign locations. Through March 31, 1996,
$245.2  million of  restructuring  costs  have been  incurred,  of which  $102.8
million was employee related costs and $142.4 million was related principally to
asset disposals and idle facilities. The spending is expected to be completed in
the first half of 1996.

The company  enters  into  interest  rate swaps and locks and  foreign  currency
forward  agreements with commercial and investment banks to reduce the impact of
changes in interest  rates and foreign  exchange  rates on long-term debt and on
purchases,  sales, and financing arrangements with lenders,  vendors,  customers
and foreign  subsidiaries.  The company meets its working  capital  requirements
mainly  with  variable  rate  short-term  financing.  Interest  rate  swaps  are
primarily  used to  provide  purchasers  of the  company's  products  with fixed
financing terms over extended time periods. The company also enters into foreign
exchange forward contracts to minimize fluctuations in the value of payments due
to international vendors and the value of foreign currency denominated receipts.
The hedges used by the  company  are  directly  related to a  particular  asset,
liability,  or transaction  for which a firm  commitment is in place.  Swaps and
foreign exchange  contracts are normally held to maturity and no exchange traded
or over-the-counter instruments have been purchased. The impact on the financial
position,  liquidity,  and results of operations  from likely changes in foreign
exchange and interest  rates is immaterial due to the minimizing of risk through
the  hedging  of  transactions  related  to  specific  assets,  liabilities,  or
commitments.

Recurring costs associated with the company's  environmental  compliance program
are  not  material  and  are  expensed  as  incurred.  Capital  expenditures  in
connection with environmental compliance are immaterial. The company is involved
in various  stages of  investigation  and  cleanup  relative to  remediation  of
various sites. All appropriate costs incurred in connection  therewith have been
expensed.  Due to the  complexity of  environmental  laws and  regulations,  the
varying costs and effectiveness of alternative cleanup methods and technologies,
the  uncertainty  of  insurance  coverage,  and  the  unresolved  extent  of the
company's  responsibility,  it is difficult to determine the ultimate outcome of
these matters.  However, in the opinion of management,  any additional liability
will not have a material effect on the company's financial position,  liquidity,
or results of operations after giving effect to provisions already recorded.
