Analysis of Financial Condition and Operating Results

   Martin Marietta continued in excellent overall financial
condition during 1994, maintaining adequate capital resources
to operate, compete and grow in anincreasingly challenging and
competitive marketplace.  The Corporation had record
earnings from operations of $978 million, a 24% increase over
1993 on sales of $9.87 billion.  The Corporation's 1994 after-tax
earnings before cumulative effect of accounting changes increased
41% from 1993.  Fully diluted earnings pershare for the year were
$5.05, up from the $3.80 reported for 1993 (before accounting
changes).  These increases in earnings and earnings per share
were achieved despite an increase in the Corporation's effective
income tax rate in 1994.  The 1994 results include the effect of
two significant nonrecurring transactions:  a $118 million gain
from the February 1994 initial public offering of Martin Marietta
Materials, Inc. common stock; and the receipt of a $50 million
termination fee pursuant to a proposed acquisition of Grumman
Corporation.  The Corporation's results include the operations of
the former Space Systems Division of General Dynamics Corporation
since its acquisition in May 1994, and the operations of the
former aerospace and certain other businesses of General Electric
Company since its combination with the Corporation in April 1993.
The Corporation's backlog of undelivered orders was $16.6 billion
at year-end.

   The Corporation's debt-to-capitalization ratio was reduced
from 39% at December 31, 1993 to 29% at December 31, 1994, with
total shareowners' equity reaching a record $3.4 billion.  In
July, the Board of Directors increased the annual dividend on
common stock by six cents, or 6.7%, effective in the third
quarter of 1994.  Martin Marietta's return on average shareowners'
equity for 1994 was 20%.

   In February 1994, Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.
("Materials") sold through an underwritten initial public
offering approximately 8.8 million shares of its common stock.
After the public sale, the Corporation, through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Martin Marietta Technologies, Inc. ("Technologies"),
owns approximately 81% of the outstanding common stock.  A
portion of the proceeds was used to defease in substance $125
million of long-term debt.  The Corporation recognized



                              1 of 15


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

a gain of $118 million from the IPO.  Additional information
regarding these transactions is presented in Note N to the
consolidated financial statements.

   In keeping with the Corporation's key strategy of pursuing of
acquisition and consolidation opportunities in the changing
aerospace and defense marketplace, the Corporation entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Grumman Corporation
("Grumman") in March 1994, and made an offer to purchase for
cash all outstanding shares of its common stock.  Grumman
subsequently accepted a competing offer, and the Corporation
received $50 million, plus reimbursement of expenses, from
Grumman pursuant to the termination provisions of the Agreement
and Plan of Merger.

   In December 1993, the Corporation signed an agreement to
purchase the Space Systems Division of General Dynamics
Corporation ("General Dynamics") for approximately $160 million
in cash. This acquisition, which was effective May 1, 1994,
allowed the Corporation to enter the intermediate-lift space
launch vehicle market with the Atlas series of launch vehicles.
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, with operating results included with those of the
Corporation beginning on the closing date.

    On August 29, 1994, the Corporation, Lockheed Corporation
("Lockheed"), and Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin")
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization whereby the
Companies would merge through an exchange of stock (the
"Combination").  On January 11, 1995, the Federal Trade
Commission ("FTC") announced it would not challenge the
Combination based upon a provisionally accepted Consent Order
that is subject to final review at the expiration of a public
comment period on March 28, 1995.  The Combination is subject to, among
other things, the approvals of the shareholders of both Martin Marietta
and Lockheed and is expected to close in the first quarter of 1995.
Additional information regarding the proposed transaction is contained
in "Pending Combination with Lockheed Corporation".

Business Environment

   Martin Marietta's major business units principally serve
government and commercial customers in the aerospace and defense
markets.  These markets are increasingly affected by global and
regional economic and political conditions, in addition to the
unique characteristics of the defense and aerospace industries.

   The Corporation's defense and aerospace businesses are
intensely competitive and are subject to uncertainties, including
those resulting from changes in federal budget priorities,
particularly the size and scope of the national defense
and space budgets. Since 1985, the Federal defense budget for
research, development, test and evaluation, and procurement
activities has been reduced by almost two-thirds in real terms.
This has caused the participants in these industries
to examine opportunities to consolidate in order to maintain or
improve operating efficiencies.  In recent years, Martin Marietta
has been an active participant in the consolidation of these
industries, resulting in the combination with the
former aerospace businesses of General Electric Company in 1993
(the "GE Transaction") and the acquisition of the Space Systems
Division of General Dynamics in 1994.  These transactions have
helped to more broadly diversify the Corporation's programs and
to emphasize high-priority programs and systems which lessen the
exposure to continued defense- and space-related spending
reductions.

A new phase in the consolidation of the aerospace and
defense industries is now underway whereby successful
companies are seeking to position themselves to be competitive
over several key industry segments and expand in complementary
markets.  In that regard, in August 1994, Martin Marietta agreed
to combine its operations with those of Lockheed as a "merger of
equals" through a tax-free exchange of stock.  As described
above, this combination will result in the formation of a new
company, Lockheed Martin.

   Despite these actions, uncertainty continues to exist regarding
the size and scope of future defense and space budgets and
the resulting impact on specific programs.  Some of the
Corporation's products and programs have been subject to
stretch-out, curtailment or termination.  Ultimate spending
reductions and funding limitations could result in cancellations,
deferrals or delays in existing or emerging programs.  Aerospace
and defense businesses also have been adversely affected by


                              3 of 15
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

department of Defense procurement methods requiring greater
investments in certain new programs, the recoverability of which
is sometimes dependent upon future orders or the exercise of
negotiated production options.  The Corporation's consolidated
financial statements reflect the resulting increased
demand on working capital.  Changes in federal income tax laws in
recent years have also increased tax rates and accelerated cash
payments for taxes relating to long-term contracts.

   In September 1993, the Corporation announced a facilities
consolidation plan that is expected to reduce operating costs by
$1.5 billion over five years.  Under the plan, approximately five
million square feet of capacity is being eliminated at facilities
in various locations.  The consolidation plan, which focused on
facilities, was concurrent with ongoing actions addressing
employment levels.  The estimated cost of restructuring and
integrating the former GE Aerospace operations into the
Corporation was recognized as part of the purchase
price allocation.

   Certain of Martin Marietta's U.S. Air Force launch
vehicle contracts contain mission success incentive provisions
that could significantly impact the future profitability of these
programs.  The provisions enable the Corporation to earn fees for
successful flights, but also significantly reduce fee
availability in the event of unsuccessful missions.  Martin
Marietta's commercial launch vehicle business contains marketing,
pricing and other associated risks.  Also, the terms of certain
of the Corporation's Department of Energy ("DOE") contracts
provide the opportunity to increase significantly the fee earned
by the Corporation based upon its performance while assuming a
higher level of accountability for its activities in managing DOE
facilities.

   As a U.S. Government contractor, the Corporation's government
contracts and operations are subject to government
investigations. The government may investigate and make inquiries
of the Corporation's business practices and conduct audits
of contract performance and cost classification.  These
investigations may lead to claims which have been or may be
asserted against the Corporation.  Under U.S. Government
procurement regulations and practice, an indictment of a
government contractor could result in the contractor being fined,
suspended for a period of time from eligibility for bidding


                              4 of 15

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

on, or for award of, new government contracts; a conviction could
result in debarment for a specified term from government
contracts.  Although the outcome of such investigations and
inquiries cannot be predicted, in the opinion of management there
are no claims, audits or investigations pending against the
Corporation that are likely to have a material adverse effect on
either the Corporation's business or its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

   In addition to its core aerospace and defense businesses,
Martin Marietta also serves military and civil government and
commercial customers in the information, communications and
launch service businesses.  The Corporation also participates
in the construction aggregates and specialty chemical businesses
through its 81% ownership of Materials.  The Corporation has in
recent years expanded its participation in civil and commercial
markets to mitigate slow economic growth and to respond to
pressures to reduce public sector spending levels.  The
construction aggregates business of Materials is sensitive to
regional economic conditions and to cyclical swings in
construction spending and changes in levels of federal and
state governments' infrastructure-related spending.  Materials'
aggregates markets are concentrated principally in the Southeast
and Midwest and therefore are dependent upon the economic
conditions in those regions.  Materials continues to
take advantage of strategic acquisition opportunities that may
arise in the construction aggregates industry.  On January 3,
1995, Materials acquired substantially all of the assets of the
construction aggregates business of Dravo Corporation for
approximately $122 million.  The transaction has not been
reflected in the Corporation's 1994 consolidated financial
statements, but will be accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting in 1995.

Environmental Matters

   The Corporation is a party to various proceedings related to
environmental clean-up issues, including matters at various sites
where it has been designated a Potentially Responsible Party
(PRP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  In the event
the Corporation is ultimately found to have liability at those

                              5 of 15
<PAGE>
<PAGE>


sites where it has been designated a PRP, the Corporation
anticipates that the actual burden for the costs of remediation
will be shared with other liable PRP's.  Generally, PRP's that
are ultimately determined to be responsible parties are strictly
liable for site clean-ups and usually agree among themselves
to share, on an allocated basis, the costs and expenses for
investigation and remediation of hazardous materials.  Under
existing environmental laws, however, responsible parties are
jointly and severally liable and, therefore, the Corporation is
potentially liable for the full cost of funding such remediation.
In the unlikely event that the Corporation were required to
fund the entire cost of such remediation, the statutory
framework provides that the Corporation may pursue rights of
contribution from the other PRPs.  Among the variables
management must assess in evaluating costs associated
with these sites are changing cost estimates, continually
evolving government environmental standards and cost allowability
issues.  Therefore, the nature of these environmental matters
makes it extremely difficult to estimate the timing and amount of
any future costs that may be necessary for remedial measures.

   The Corporation currently is unable to predict the outcome of
these matters, inasmuch as the actual costs of remedial actions
have not been determined and the allocation of liabilities among
parties that ultimately may be found liable remains uncertain.
The Corporation records appropriate financial statement accruals
for environmental issues in the period in which liability is
established and the amounts can reasonably be estimated.  The
Corporation's accrued liability was approximately $50 million at
December 31, 1994.  Management believes, however, that it is
unlikely that any additional liability it may incur for known
environmental issues would have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

   The Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related
information should be read in conjunction with the following review.

Pending Combination with Lockheed Corporation

   On August 29, 1994, Martin Marietta, Lockheed and Lockheed
Martin (collectively, the "Companies") entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization whereby the Companies would merge
through an exchange of stock (the "Combination").  On January
11, 1995, the FTC announced it would not challenge the Combination
based upon a provisionally accepted Consent Order that is
subject to final review at the expiration of a public comment
period on March 28, 1995.  The Consent Order prohibits the
the Companies from enforcing the exclusivity provisions
of certain teaming arrangements with other parties, from
sharing proprietary information about competitors between
certain components of the Companies, and from modifying any
of the Companies' products in a discriminatory manner.
The Combination is subject to, among other things, the approvals
of the shareholders of both Martin Marietta and Lockheed.

                              6 of 15



<PAGE>
<PAGE>

The Combination, which is expected to close in the first quarter
of 1995, will constitute a tax-free reorganization and qualify
for the pooling of interests method of accounting.  Under this
accounting method, the assets and liabilities of Martin Marietta
and Lockheed will be carried forward to Lockheed Martin at their
historical recorded bases.  Results of operations of Lockheed
Martin for 1995 will include the results of both Martin Marietta
and Lockheed for the entire fiscal year.  When consummated, the
reported balance sheet amounts and results of operations of the
separate corporations for prior periods will be combined,
reclassified and conformed, as appropriate, to reflect the
combined balance sheets and results of operations for Lockheed
Martin.  The managements of Martin Marietta and Lockheed
currently estimate that costs and expenses which are expected to
be incurred in connection with consummating the Combination and
integrating the operations of the two Corporations could total
approximately $850 million.  See Note B to the consolidated
financial statements.  It is anticipated that a significant part
of these costs and expenses will result in charges to the
earnings of Lockheed Martin.  The exact timing of these charges
cannot be determined this time; however, it is anticipated that
plans and decisions will be completed and a substantial portion
of the related charges recorded in 1995.

   Both Martin Marietta and Lockheed are parties to certain class
action lawsuits filed on behalf of the stockholders of each
corporation.  On January 30, 1995, the parties reached an oral
agreement in principle with respect to the terms of a
proposed settlement of such claims, subject to the execution and
delivery of a mutually-satisfactory stipulation of settlement.
Among other things, the proposed settlement contemplates that Lockheed
Martin will pay a regular quarterly dividend on its common stock
of $0.40 (rather than $0.35, as otherwise contemplated) per
share for each of the first three quarters after consummation of
the Combination and approval of the settlement in which the
post-combination earnings (excluding nonrecurring restructure
costs and extraordinary charges and transaction expenses) is
sufficient to pay such a dividend.

Liquidity and Capital

   Net working capital increased by $311 million over the
previous year to $949 - million at December 31, 1994.
Shareowners' equity reached a record $3.4 billion
at December 31, 1994, an increase of $494 million over the prior
year-end.  Long-term debt was $1.35 billion at year-end, and the
ratio of long-term debt to total capitalization was 29% at
December 31, 1994, compared with 39% a year earlier.
The debt-to-capitalization ratio reduction reflects the repayment
of $300 million of payment obligations in December 1994 as well
as the defeasance in substance of the $125 million 9.5% Notes in
February 1994.

   Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $753
million in 1994, $640 million in 1993 and $678 million in 1992.
The 1994 cash flow was principally from operating earnings before
deducting non-cash charges for depreciation, deferred taxes and
intangibles amortization, net of working capital increases.  The
1993 cash flow was principally from earnings before deducting
non-cash charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization and
accounting changes, net of income tax payments of $261 million
made during the year.  The cash flow from operating activities in
1992 was principally from earnings, depreciation and decreases in
receivables and inventories, net of changes in deferred revenue
and $183 million in income tax payments made during the year.

   Net capital expenditures were $269 million in 1994, $215
million in 1993 and $171 million in 1992.  In December 1994, the
Board of Directors approved new capital authorizations of $345
million.  Net proceeds of $189 million were generated from the
initial public offering of common stock of Materials.
Acquisition activities during 1994 (acquisition of General
Dynamics' Space Systems Division and receipt of the Grumman
termination fee) resulted in a net use of funds of
$125 million.   Approximately $136 million of the IPO cash
proceeds was used to defease in substance $125 million of 9.5%
Notes due in 1995, and the Corporation also repaid $300 million
of payment obligations assumed in connection with the GE
Transaction.  In 1993, net cash consideration of $883 million was
paid to GE in connection with the GE Transaction.  Cash flow of
$109 million was generated in 1993 primarily from the sale of the
majority of the Corporation's portfolio of marketable investment
securities.  In December 1993, the Corporation defeased in


                              8 of 15

defeased in substance $103 million of payment obligations assumed
in connection with the GE Transaction.

Capital Structure and Resources

Martin Marietta's internal cash flows and access to capital
markets are expected to continue to be sufficient to provide the
capital resources necessary to support operating needs and cover
debt service requirements. The Corporation's senior debt (which
is issued through Technologies and guaranteed by Martin
Marietta) is rated A by Standard & Poor's, A3 by Moody's and A by
Duff & Phelps.  Martin Marietta's commercial paper is rated A-1
by Standard & Poor's, P-2 by Moody's and Duff-1 by Duff & Phelps.

   Technologies has an $800-million revolving credit facility
guaranteed by Martin Marietta which expires on March 31, 1996.
This borrowing facility may be used for general corporate
purposes.  At December 31, 1994, no amounts were outstanding
under the credit facility.  If the proposed combination with
Lockheed is consummated, it is anticipated that this credit
facility will be terminated prior to consummation of the
combination and that Lockheed Martin will obtain its own credit
facility.  Technologies also has a shelf registration on file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the offering of
up to $300 million of debt securities, which may be issued from
time to time.  Such debt securities, if issued, would be
obligations of Technologies that would be fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by Martin Marietta. The
Corporation's ability to issue such debt securities at any time
is dependent, among other things, upon market conditions.


   In 1994, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 119, "Disclosure
about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of
Financial Instruments."  This Statement prescribes various
types of disclosures based on the purpose for which derivatives
are used.  Martin Marietta occasionally purchases foreign
currency forward contracts to protect the value of a
foreign-denominated bid or contract.  These financial

                              9 of 15
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

instruments are not used for speculative purposes.  The financial
exposure related to these instruments at December 31, 1994 is
insignificant.

   Under a 1993 authorization from the Board of Directors, the
Corporation may repurchase approximately 32.4 million shares of
its common stock, for use in connection with the Corporation's
Amended Omnibus Securities Award Plan, Performance Sharing Plan
and for general corporate purposes.  No shares were repurchased
by the Corporation during 1994 or 1993.

    As more fully described in Note H to the consolidated
financial statements, the Corporation adopted a Stockholder
Rights Plan during 1994 pursuant to which the Corporation
distributed one Common Stock Purchase Right with respect to each
share of its Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business
on September 9, 1994, and to each additional share issued
thereafter.

Backlog


   The Corporation's firm backlog of undelivered orders was $16.6
billion at December 31, 1994, compared with $16.7 billion at
December 31, 1993 and $8.9 billion at December 31, 1992.
Approximately $9.9 billion, or 59%, of the undelivered orders at
December 31, 1994, are not expected to be filled within one year.

   Reported backlog at December 31, 1994, does not include
approximately $4.5 billion of negotiated and priced, but
unexercised, production options for certain of the Corporation's
major aerostructure and satellite contracts and for various
electronics, space, information and services programs. The
exercise of these options is at the discretion of the customer
and, in the case of U.S. Government contracts, dependent on
future government funding.

    Reported backlog also does not include approximately $9
billion in equivalent sales under the Corporation's DOE
management and operations contracts, since the management
fee earned is the only item reflected in the consolidated
financial statements. The underlying incurred costs associated
with operating these DOE facilities are not reflected in any way
in the Corporation's reported sales.  Martin Marietta has
contracts to manage DOE facilities in Tennessee, Kentucky,

Ohio, Florida, New Mexico, California and New York.  Management
fees earned with respect to DOE management and operations
contracts are reflected with the Corporation's Energy and Other
activities for segment reporting purposes.

Net sales were approximately $9.9 billion in 1994 and $9.4 billion in 1993.  Net
sales increased $438 million, or 5%, in 1994 and $3.48 billion, or 58%, in 1993.
Results of the former aerospace and other businesses of GE have been included
with those of the Corporation since completion of the combination in April 1993.

   The Electronics Group, with 1994 sales of $3.9 billion, had a sales decrease
of $62 million, or 2%, in 1994.  Sales in 1993 were $3.9 billion, or 106%
higher, than in the previous year.  In 1994, sales gains from the performance of
Government Electronic Systems were offset by sales declines at Electronics and
Missiles, Ocean, Radar & Sensor Systems and Postal Systems.  The 1993 gains


                             12 of 15
<PAGE>
<PAGE>



reflect the inclusion of the former GE Aerospace units,
particularly the Ocean, Radar & Sensor Systems,
Government Electronic Systems and Defense Systems units. The
increased sales from those units was reduced by 1993 sales
declines from Postal Systems and the Group's LANTIRN targeting
and navigation system.

   The Space Group had 1994 sales of $3.5 billion, which were $54
million, or 2% higher than in 1993.  Sales in 1993 were $3.4
billion, which were $388 million, or 13%, greater than in 1992.
The Air Force Titan IV program, which had a sales decline of 21%
in 1994 after a 7% increase in 1993, was the principal
contributor to the Group's total sales and earnings in both
years.  The $11.2-billion Titan IV fixed-price-incentive program
is the Corporation's largest and contributed 1994 sales of $1.22
billion.  Sales from the Group's Astro Space unit was the
principal reason for the 1994 sales gain.  In 1993, sales from
the Astro Space unit more than offset anticipated revenue
declines on the External Tank program, the completed Commercial
Titan program and several other space launch programs.
The Group's 1994 results include the operations of the former
Space Systems Division of General Dynamics Corporation, which was
acquired by the Corporation on May 1, 1994.

   The Information Group, with 1994 sales of $1.5 billion, had a
sales increase of $310 million, or 26%, from 1993.  Sales in 1993
were $1.2 billion, or 207% higher than in 1992.   The sales
performance of the Group's Management & Data Systems and
Automated Systems units was the principal reason for the increase
in 1994.  The 1993 increase reflects the inclusion of these
former GE units.

   Services Group sales increased $22 million in 1994 and $378
million in 1993.  The increase in 1993 is primarily attributable
to sales from Martin Marietta Services, Inc., included in the
Group's results since April 1993.

   Materials sales increased by 11% in both 1994 and 1993, mainly
from sales of construction aggregates, which grew 14% in 1994 and
16% in 1993.   Aggregates' sales performance reflects increased
shipments and higher average sales prices, resulting from

                             13 of 15
<PAGE>
<PAGE>


improvements in construction markets and increased production
capacity from acquisitions and new production facilities.

   Electronics Group operating profits increased 13% in 1994 and
119% in 1993.  The Group's 1994 operating profits were adversely
affected by a loss provision of $83 million to cover additional
costs anticipated on Aero & Naval Systems' Pratt & Whitney jet
engine thrust reverser program.  The additional costs are
associated with initial production start-up problems and certain
redesign efforts.  The Group's overall operating profit gains in
1994 reflect the performance of the Electronics & Missiles,
Government Electronics Systems and Armament Systems
units, which more than offset the impact of the charge taken on
the Pratt & Whitney program.  The gains in 1993 reflect
principally the performance of Ocean, Radar & Sensor Systems,
Government Electronic Systems and Defense Systems.

   Operating profits for the Space Group increased 33% in 1994
after decreasing 18% from 1993 to 1992.  The Group's 1994 gains
are attributable to increases in operating profits from all of
the Group's business units.  In 1993, lower Titan IV and External
Tank program profits were partially offset by Astro Space
earnings.  During 1993, Martin Marietta's Space Group suffered
the failure of three satellites and a Titan IV launch vehicle.
The Space Group established a formal Mission Assurance program,
which resulted in strengthened systems engineering, establishment
of formal Mission Success offices within all of its operating
units, expansion of its product integrity engineering system and
increased employee training.  The failures did not result in a
material adverse impact on the Corporation's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

   Information Group operating profits increased 10% in 1994 and
505% in 1993.  Earnings from Management & Data Systems and
Automated Systems were the primary reasons for the gains in both
years. Services Group operating profits rose $1 million in 1994
and $26 million in 1993.

   Materials operating profits increased 26% in 1994 excluding
the effect of the minority interest position resulting from the
initial public offering.  Operating profits increased 32%



                             14 of 15
<PAGE>
<PAGE>


in 1993.  The 1994 gain is attributable to increases at the
aggregates and magnesia specialties units, while the 1993 gain is
attributable principally to the aggregates operations.
Aggregates profits rose 14% in 1994 and 50% in 1993. These gains
were due to improvements in construction markets and
increased output from acquisitions and new production facilities.

   Other income and expenses, net (see Note N to the consolidated
financial statements) increased $162 million in 1994 and $26
million in 1993.  The increase in 1994 was principally due to the
pre-tax gain of $118 million which resulted from the Materials
initial public offering and the $50 million fee received from
Grumman pursuant to the termination provisions of the March 6,
1994 Agreement and Plan of Merger.  The increase in 1993
was principally attributable to higher royalty income earned in
1993 versus 1992.

   Interest expense on debt increased $5 million, or 5%, in 1994
and increased $52 million, or 90%, in 1993.  The increase in 1993
was due to the $1.4-billion increase in long-term debt during the
second quarter of 1993, when the Corporation issued $700 million
in long-term debt and assumed $750 million of GE payment
obligations in connection with the GE Transaction.

   The effective income tax rate for 1994 was 40.7%, compared
with 37.9% in 1993 and 32.6% in 1992.  The Corporation's
effective income tax rates for both 1994 and 1993 are higher than
the current corporate federal income tax rate of 35% due
to differences between book and tax accounting arising from the
amortization of goodwill and state income taxes.

   The impact of inflation has become less significant with lower
inflation rates in recent years.  When the Corporation incurs
higher costs to replace productive facilities, increased
depreciation generally is countered by increased productivity,
increased selling prices and other offsetting factors.

          Report of Independent Auditors


Board of Directors and Shareowners
Martin Marietta Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
of Martin Marietta Corporation and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated
statements of earnings, shareowners' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994.
These financial  statements are  the responsibility of
the Corporation's management.   Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated 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, the consolidated financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of Martin
Marietta Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994
and 1993, and the consolidated results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note M and Note Q to the consolidated financial
statements, in 1993 the Corporation changed its methods of
accounting for post-retirement and post-employment benefits and
income taxes.

          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                      December 31, 1994



Note A: Accounting Policies

Consolidation Basis

Consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all
significant majority-owned subsidiaries of Martin Marietta
Corporation (the "Corporation"). All material intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain amounts for the prior periods have been reclassified to
conform with the 1994 presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are generally comprised of highly
liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less when
purchased.

As of December 31, book cash balances amounted to net overdrafts
of $15 million in 1994 and $44 million in 1993 and are
attributable to the float of the Corporation's outstanding
checks.

Investments

Investments in associated companies are accounted for by the
equity method wherever the Corporation is able to significantly
influence operating and financial matters. Other investments are
carried at cost less valuation allowances where appropriate.

Revenue Recognition

Long-term, fixed-price contracts generally are accounted for
under percentage-of-completion methods, and sales include a
proportion of the earnings expected to be realized in the
ratio that costs incurred bear to estimated total costs.
Sales are recorded on cost-type contracts as costs are
incurred.  Under all other contracts, sales are recorded when
deliveries are made or as work is performed.

  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)




Note A: Accounting Policies (continued)

Revenue Recognition (continued)

Contracts and programs in progress are reviewed quarterly, and
sales and earnings are adjusted in current accounting periods
based on revisions in contract value and estimated costs at
completion. Performance incentives are incorporated in certain
contracts that provide for increased or decreased earnings based
on performance to established targets.  Incentives based upon
cost performance are recorded currently, and other incentives
and awards are recorded when the amounts reasonably can be
estimated or are awarded.  Provisions for estimated losses on
contracts and programs are recorded when identified.

Sales for the Atlas launch vehicle program, which vehicles
are sold principally to customers, including the U.S.
Government, on commercial terms ("Commercial Atlas"), are
recorded upon delivery of launch services.  Cost of sales
attributable to each launch is determined under the program
average cost method.

Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (" Materials") sales are
recorded upon shipment of products or performance of
services.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Costs
on contracts and programs in progress represent recoverable
costs incurred for production, research and development and
selling, general and administration, less amounts attributed
to cost of sales, generally under percentage-of-completion
accounting methods.  Costs for the Commercial Atlas program
represent recoverable costs incurred for production, less
amounts attributable to cost of sales, under the program
average cost method. General and administrative costs related
to the Commercial Atlas program are expensed as incurred.
Costs of other product and supply inventories are principally
determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Properties and Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment, including capital leases, are
carried at cost, including interest cost capitalized during
construction on significant capital programs.

Depreciation and amortization of properties are computed over
estimated service lives generally using accelerated methods,
except for Materials and other businesses that utilize the
straight-line method. Depletion of mineral deposits is
calculated over estimated recoverable quantities by the
unit-of-production method.

Note A: Accounting Policies (continued)

Intangible Assets

Costs in excess of net assets acquired ("goodwill") are
amortized ratably over appropriate periods ranging from 20 to
40 years. Other intangibles represent amounts assigned
principally to the value of programs acquired and are amortized
over periods not to exceed 15 years.

The carrying values of intangible assets are reviewed if
the facts and circumstances indicate impairment of their
carrying value.  Any impairment in the carrying value of such
intangibles is recorded when identified.

Income Taxes

Current income tax provisions represent estimated amounts
payable or recoverable for each year after adjustments for
permanent differences. Deferred income tax provisions
represent the tax effect of all significant temporary
differences between financial statements and income taxes.

Research and Development and Similar Costs

Research and development and similar costs are charged to
operations as incurred unless reimbursable under specific
contractual arrangements.  Independent research and
development, systems studies, other concept formulation
studies and bid and proposal work relating to government
contracts represent a major portion of these expenses.  Such
amounts are allocated when appropriate to government
contracts through overhead under government-mandated cost
accounting procedures.

Preoperating costs are generally charged to operations as
incurred, except that such costs for significant new products
or services and start-up costs of certain facilities may be
deferred for amortization over periods not to exceed five years.

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the year.

Earnings per share, assuming no dilution, were computed in 1994
and 1993 based on net earnings less the dividend requirement
of preferred stock.  The weighted average number of
common shares outstanding assuming no dilution were
approximately 95,929,000 in 1994, 95,347,000 in 1993 and
95,869,000 in 1992.

Note A: Accounting Policies (continued)

Earnings Per Common Share (continued)

Fully diluted earnings per share in 1994 and 1993 assumed that
the average number of common shares was increased by the
conversion of preferred stock.  The weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, assuming full dilution, was
approximately 125,935,000 in 1994, 118,347,000 in 1993 and
95,869,000 in 1992.


Note B: Pending Combination with Lockheed Corporation

On August 29, 1994, the Corporation, Lockheed Corporation
("Lockheed") and  Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed
Martin", formerly Parent Corporation) (collectively, "the
Companies") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
whereby the Companies would merge through an exchange of
stock (the "Combination").  On January 11, 1995, the Federal
Trade Commission ("FTC") announced it would not challenge the
Combination based upon a provisionally accepted Consent Order
that is subject to final review at the expiration of a public
comment period on March 28, 1995.  Under the terms of the Consent
Order, among other things, the Companies will be prohibited from
enforcing the exclusivity provisions of certain teaming arrangements
with other parties, from sharing non-proprietary information
about competitors between certain components of the Companies,
and from modifying any of the Companies' products in a discriminatory
manner.  The Combination is subject to, among other things, the
the approvals of the shareholders of the Corporation and Lockheed.

It is anticipated that the Combination, which is expected to
close in the first quarter of 1995, will constitute a tax-free
reorganization and qualify for the pooling of interests method
of accounting. Under this accounting method, the assets and
liabilities of the Corporation and Lockheed will be carried
forward to Lockheed Martin at their historical recorded
bases.  Results of operations of Lockheed Martin for 1995 will
include the results of both the Corporation and Lockheed for the
entire fiscal year. When consummated, the reported balance
sheet amounts and results of operations of the separate
corporations for prior periods will be combined, reclassified and
conformed, as appropriate, to reflect the combined balance
sheets and results of operations for Lockheed Martin.  The
managements of Lockheed and the Corporation currently estimate
that costs and expenses which are expected to be incurred
in connection with consummating the Combination and
integrating the operations of Lockheed and the Corporation could
total approximately $850 million (see Note L).

Under the terms of the Agreement, each outstanding share of the
Corporation's Common Stock will be converted into the right to
receive one share of Lockheed Martin Common Stock and each
outstanding share of Lockheed Common Stock will be converted
into the right to receive 1.63 shares of Lockheed Martin Common
Stock. In addition, each outstanding share of the Corporation's
Series A Preferred Stock, all of which is held by

Note B: Pending Combination with Lockheed Corporation (continued)

General Electric Company ("GE") subject to a Standstill Agreement
(see Note H), will be converted into the right to receive one
share of Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock.  On August 29,
1994, the Corporation, Lockheed Martin and GE entered into an
agreement which modifies the Standstill Agreement to anticipate
the conversion of shares from the Corporation to Lockheed
Martin.  The Lockheed Martin Preferred Stock is essentially
the same as to terms and convertibility, and if converted,
would represent approximately 13% of the shares of Lockheed
Martin common stock after giving effect to such conversion.

The Corporation and Lockheed have entered into a
Confidentiality and Standstill Agreement.  Among
other things, this agreement protects the confidentiality
of information shared between the Corporation and Lockheed,
and prohibits until March 29, 1997 the acquisition by one party
of any voting securities of the other party or participation
in ther solicitation of proxies and shareowner proposals
other than those required to effect the Combination.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information
presents the results of operations of Lockheed Martin for the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, as if the
Combination had been consummated on January 1, 1992.  The
pro forma amounts displayed below primarily reflect the
elimination of intercompany transactions and assume that any
impact of conforming accounting policies is insignificant. This
pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of
actual or future results of operations that would have occurred
or will occur upon consummation of the Combination or
further analysis regarding conforming of accounting policies.

The 1992 information presented above excludes the cumulative
effect of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Post-
retirement Benefits Other Than  Pensions" , and SFAS  No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Post-employment Benefits", which
would reduce earnings by $1.06 billion, or $5.41  per share.
This cumulative effect includes the impact of conforming the
Corporation's historical 1993 adoption to that of Lockheed.

Note C: Acquisition of GD Space Systems and Business Combination
with GE Aerospace

On May 1, 1994, the Corporation completed its acquisition for
cash of the Space Systems division of General Dynamics
Corporation (the "Space Systems division").  This transaction
was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting,
wherein goodwill of approximately $213 million was
recognized by the Corporation.  Goodwill is being amortized over
a 20-year period.  Operations of the Space Systems division have
been included in the consolidated financial statements from the
closing date.  Pro forma financial data related to this
transaction has not been presented based on materiality
considerations.

On November 22, 1992, the Corporation entered into a
Transaction Agreement with General Electric Company to combine
the aerospace and certain other businesses of GE (collectively,
the "GE Aerospace businesses") with the businesses of the
Corporation in the form of affiliated corporations.  The
transaction (the "GE Transaction") was consummated on April 2,
1993, and GE Aerospace operations have been included in the
consolidated financial statements since that date. If the GE
Transaction were presented on an unaudited pro forma basis
as if it had occurred as of January 1, 1993, the
Corporation's 1993 net sales would increase by approximately
$1 billion and earnings before the cumulative effect of
accounting changes would increase by less than 3%.

The exchange consideration of approximately $3 billion for
the GE Transaction consisted of cash, preferred stock,
retention by GE of certain accounts receivable and the
assumption of payment obligations related to certain GE
indebtedness.  The GE Transaction was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting, wherein approximately $1.9
billion in goodwill was recognized by the Corporation after
recording approximately $700 million in other intangibles
(representing the estimated fair-market value of certain
assets) and other purchase adjustments necessary to allocate
the purchase price to the value of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed.  Goodwill is being amortized over a
40-year period, and other intangibles are being amortized over
a 15-year period.

Note E: Inventories (continued)

According to the provisions of certain U.S. Government
contracts, the customer has title to, or a security interest
in, inventories for contracts and programs in progress of
approximately $384 million for 1994 and $310 million for 1993.

Selling, general and administrative costs in connection with
production under long-term government contracts were charged to
inventories as incurred in the amounts of $406 million in 1994
and $377 million in 1993.  The estimated amounts remaining in
inventories were $83 million at December 31, 1994, and $75
million at December 31, 1993.

At December 31, 1994, the Space Systems division had customer
deposits of approximately $1.2 billion which primarily
represent advance payments from its Atlas program customers.
In the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet, costs on
contracts and programs in progress are offset by related
customer deposits of $593 million at December 31, 1994.  Customer
deposits, at year-end 1994, of $188 million and $402 million are
classified as current and noncurrent liabilities, respectively.

Costs on contracts and programs in progress at December 31,
1994 and 1993, did not include any significant amounts of
production costs or other deferred costs or claims and similar
items subject to uncertainty concerning their realization.

Payment obligations assumed as part of the exchange
consideration for the GE Transaction relate to certain GE
indebtedness.  The payment obligations outstanding at December
31, 1994 mature in 1996 and carry an effective interest rate of
5.025%.

In February 1994, the $125 million of 9-1/2% notes were defeased
in substance (see Note N).

The 6-1/2% Notes, 7-3/8% Debentures, 8-1/2% Notes and 9% Notes
are not redeemable prior to maturity.  The 7-3/4% Debentures may
not be redeemed by the Corporation prior to April 15, 2003, but
on or after that date may be redeemed by the Corporation at
specified redemption prices.

The 7% Debentures were sold at 53.835% of their principal
amount of $175 million in 1981.  These debentures are carried
net of original issue discount, which is being amortized by
the interest method over the life of the issue.  The effective
interest rate is 13-1/4%.  The debentures are redeemable
in whole or in part at the Corporation's option at any time at
100% of their principal amount.

Maturities of long-term debt during the five-year period ending
December 31, 1999, are $8 million  in 1995, $416 million in
1996, and $1 million in each year from 1997 through 1999.

Note G: Debt (continued)

The independently determined aggregate market value of the
Corporation's outstanding debt was lower than book value by
approximately $30 million at December 31, 1994 and
approximately $117 million above book value at December 31, 1993.

Interest payments were $124 million in 1994, $97 million in
1993 and $61 million in 1992.  Interest expense on debt was net
of capitalized interest of $3 million in 1994 and 1993, and $4
million in 1992.

As of December 31, the Corporation has issued performance-related
standby letters of credit totalling $99 million in 1994 and
$94 million in 1993 supporting obligations under certain
long-term and other contracts.

Martin Marietta Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Corporation ("Technologies"), has a $800 million
revolving credit facility guaranteed by the Corporation which
expires on March 31, 1996.  This borrowing facility may be
used for general corporate purposes.  Under this credit
facility, the Corporation is subject to limitations on its
financial leverage and a minimum coverage ratio requirement as
defined by the agreement.  At December 31, 1994, the
Corporation had no borrowings under this credit facility.  If
the proposed merger with Lockheed is consummated, the
Corporation's existing credit facility will be terminated
prior to consummation of the merger and Lockheed Martin will
obtain its own credit facility.

The financing agreements of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries contain certain restrictive covenants, including
requirements for limitations on encumbrances and on sale
and lease-back transactions.


Note H: Shareowners' Equity

The authorized capital structure of the Corporation includes
30,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with par value of $1 a
share, none of which is outstanding, and 20,000,000 shares
of Series A Preferred Stock with par value of $1 a share
(liquidation preference $50 per share).  Dividends are
cumulative and paid at an annual rate of $3.00 per share or 6%.
As part of the consideration for the GE Transaction, the
Corporation issued to GE all of the authorized and outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Corporation, which
shares are convertible into approximately 23% of the shares
of the Corporation's common stock after giving effect to
such conversion, and have an aggregate liquidation preference
of $1 billion.  The Series A Preferred Stock is nonvoting
except in special circumstances, including the approval of the
Combination.  The Series A Preferred stock is held under
a Standstill Agreement.  Among other things, the Standstill

Note H: Shareowners' Equity (continued)

Agreement imposes certain limitations on either the increase or
disposal of GE's interest in voting securities of the
Corporation, on GE's solicitation of proxies and shareowner
proposals, on GE's voting of its shares and on GE's ability
to place or remove members of the Corporation's Board of
Directors.  In addition, the Standstill Agreement requires
the Corporation to recommend to its shareholders the election
of persons designated by GE to serve as directors of the
Corporation.

In 1993, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
approximately 32.4 million shares of the Corporation's common
stock for use in connection with the Corporation's Amended
Omnibus Securities Plan, Performance Sharing Plan and for
general corporate purposes.  No share repurchases were made by
the Corporation during either 1994 or 1993.

During 1994, the Corporation adopted a Stockholder Rights
Plan pursuant to which the Corporation distributed one Common
Stock Purchase Right with respect to each share of its
Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on
September 9, 1994, and to each additional share issued
thereafter.  The Rights are not exercisable except upon the
occurrence of certain events described in the Rights Agreement.
When exercisable, each Right will entitle the holder to purchase
one share of Common Stock (or other shares, securities or
property, as the case may be, of equivalent value) at an
exercise price of $190.00 per share.  The Rights are redeemable
at $0.01 per Right. The Rights will expire immediately prior to
consummation of the Combination (see Note B), or, if the
Combination is not consummated, on September 9, 2004, unless
extended by the Corporation.

The Corporation contributed 228,000 shares in 1993 and 311,000
shares in 1992 of its common stock to the Corporation's
Performance Sharing Plan for Salaried Employees in accordance
with provisions set forth in that plan.

Under Maryland General Corporation Law, shares of common stock
reacquired by a corporation constitute unissued shares.  For
financial reporting purposes, reacquired shares are recorded as
reductions to issued common stock and to additional paid-in
capital.  At December 31, 1994, retained earnings were
unrestricted.

In the opinion of management and counsel, the probability is
remote that the outcome of litigation and other proceedings,
including those pertaining to environmental matters (see
Analysis of Financial Condition and Operating Results,
Environmental Matters) relating to the Corporation and

Under the Corporation's Amended Omnibus Securities Award Plan
(Omnibus Plan), employees of the Corporation may be granted
stock-based incentive awards, including options to purchase
common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or
other stock-based incentive awards.  These awards may
be granted either singly or in combination with other awards.

Note L: Stock Option and Award Plans (continued)

each year in the period 1993 through 1996 shall not exceed
1.7% of the shares of common stock outstanding on December 31
of the previous year.  The Omnibus Plan further provides that
for the years 1993, 1994 and 1995, an additional 0.5% of the
shares of common stock outstanding on December 31 of the
previous year may be granted if a corresponding percentage
decrease in shares available for award is made the following
year.  Effective with the adoption of the Omnibus Plan in
1992, no further grants of options, stock appreciation rights or
restricted stock could be made under any of the Corporation's
prior plans.  However, all outstanding grants and awards under
those prior plans remain in effect in accordance with their
terms.

Under the Omnibus Plan, the Corporation grants options to
purchase its common stock at a price equal to the market value
at the date of grant.  These options become exercisable in
three equal annual installments beginning one year after date
of grant and expire 10 years from such date.  The Omnibus
Plan allows the Corporation to provide for financing of
purchases, subject to certain conditions, by
interest-bearing notes payable to the Corporation.

Prior stock option plans included the same grant pricing,
vesting and expiration terms as the Omnibus Plan.  The 1984 Plan
allows the Corporation to provide for financing of purchases,
subject to certain conditions, by interest-bearing notes payable
to the Corporation.

The 1984 Plan included stock appreciation rights granted
simultaneously in equal number with the grant of stock
options. These rights may be exercised independently of the
options and entitle a grantee to receive in cash an amount
equal to a percentage of the increase in the market value of the
Corporation's common stock.

The Omnibus Plan provides for the award and issuance of common
stock at par value subject to certain restrictions for a
specified period of time.  A total of 5,000 restricted shares in
1994 and 170,000 restricted shares in 1993 were awarded under
the Omnibus Plan.  Under the awards outstanding,
participants are entitled to cash dividends and to vote
their respective shares, but they are prohibited from selling
or transferring shares during a restricted period.

Under the terms of some of these, and other cash award plans,
consummation of the Combination will result in the
acceleration of payment of certain benefits that would
otherwise have been payable over time, early vesting of certain
benefits that would otherwise not be fully vested, and the use of
modified formulae for calculating the amounts of such benefits,

the effect of which has been included in the estimated costs
and expenses to be incurred in connection with consummating the
Combination.  In addition, the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
provides for each outstanding stock option, stock appreciation
right and other stock-based incentive award to be converted
into a similar instrument of Lockheed Martin upon
consummation of the Combination.


Note M: Post-Employment Benefit Plans

The Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries sponsor a
number of retirement plans that cover substantially all
employees.  Defined benefit plans for salaried and certain hourly
employees provide benefits based on employees' years of service
and average compensation, for a specified period of
time before retirement.  Defined benefit plans for other hourly
employees generally provide benefits of stated amounts for
specified periods of service.

The Corporation's accounting for defined benefit pension
plans complies with three principal standards:  the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended
(ERISA), which in conjunction with the Internal Revenue Code,
determines legal minimum and maximum deductible funding
requirements; U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS),
which in conjunction with Federal Acquisition Regulations,
establish rules for determining and measuring contractors'
pension costs; and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 87,  Employers Accounting for Pensions (SFAS
No. 87), which establishes rules for financial reporting.
The latter requires recognition of actuarial values on a
"termination" rather than an "ongoing" basis and specifies that
certain key actuarial assumptions be adjusted annually to
reflect current, rather than long-term, trends in the
economy.

Consistent with the requirements of ERISA and CAS, it is
the Corporation's funding policy to stabilize annual
contributions as a percentage of payroll by utilizing the
entry-age-normal actuarial cost method, with assumptions selected
on the basis of long-term trends.

On December 31, 1994, retirement plan assets, which are
held in a master trust, were invested principally in listed
stocks and bonds and cash equivalents.

    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note M: Post-Employment Benefit Plans (continued)

Certain health care and life insurance benefits are provided to
eligible retirees by the Corporation or its consolidated
subsidiaries.  These benefit plans are funded by the Corporation
through several trusts.  For recently retired participants, the
health benefits generally provide for cost sharing
through participant contributions and copayments.  For
salaried employees who retired after 1992, there is an annual
limit on the Corporation's contribution per participant.

The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Post-retirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions" (SFAS No. 106), effective January
1, 1993. SFAS No. 106 requires that the cost of certain
post-retirement benefits be recognized under an accrual
method of accounting instead of the prior practice of expensing
the cost of such benefits as paid. The Corporation elected to
expense, in the first quarter of 1993, the liability
accumulated through 1992 due to the change in accounting
method.  This one-time transition obligation of $656 million
resulted in an after-tax charge to net income of $412 million
in the first quarter of 1993.  The Corporation's policy is to
fund amounts that are consistent with the expense accrual under
SFAS No. 106, including an amortization payment for the
transition obligation.

Since 1988, the Corporation has made contributions to the
irrevocable trusts established to pay future health benefits to
eligible retirees and dependents.  On December 31, 1994, plan
assets were invested principally in listed stocks and bonds and
cash equivalents.

The net periodic post-retirement benefit cost for the years
ending December 31 included the following components:

The trend rate assumption for health care inflation is 7.5% for
1995, trending down to 4.5% by 2001.  The assumptions also
include the impact of Medicare cost-sharing provisions which,
when used in conjunction with the health care inflation rate,
yields an effective health care cost-trend rate of
approximately 10%.

Prior to 1993, the Corporation recognized the costs of
retiree health benefits on a claims-paid basis.  These costs
were $33 million in 1992.

The following table sets forth the post-retirement health care
plans' funded status and estimated amounts recognized in the
Corporation's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31:

A 1% increase in the health care cost trend rate would increase

In February 1994, Materials sold through an initial public
offering approximately 8.8 million shares of its common stock.
After the public sale, Technologies owns approximately 81% of
the outstanding stock of Materials.  Minority interest of $71
million is included in other noncurrent liabilities at
December 31, 1994.  A portion of the proceeds from the offering
was used to defease in substance $125 million of 9.5% Notes.
Technologies recognized a pretax gain, net of a loss on debt
defeasance, of $118 million from the Materials' initial
public offering.  The net after-tax gain from these
transactions was $70 million, or 56 cents per share fully
diluted.

During March 1994, the Corporation entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger with Grumman Corporation and
made an offer to purchase for cash all outstanding shares of
common stock of Grumman Corporation.  Subsequently, Grumman
reached agreement with and accepted Northrop Corporation's
competing offer to purchase its outstanding common shares.  In
April 1994, the Corporation received $50 million plus
reimbursement of expenses from Grumman pursuant to the
termination provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger.

Note Q: Taxes on Income

Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes", (SFAS No. 109).  The impact of adopting this
standard on the Corporation's earnings and financial position
was not material.  Prior years' financial statements have not
been restated to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 109.  Income
taxes for 1992 are based on pretax financial statement income in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11.

</TABLE>

For tax purposes, profits on long-term contracts are reported
on the completed contract method for contracts entered into
prior to March 1, 1986, and on the percentage-of-completion
capitalized cost method for contracts entered into thereafter.
The amounts also include the effect of the tax deduction of
certain costs on contracts and programs in progress inventories.

Deferred income taxes relating to contracts are classified as
current if the related contract is expected to be completed
within the following year; otherwise, they are classified as
noncurrent.

Income tax payments were $136 million in 1994, $261 million in
1993 and $183 million in 1992.
