        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
        Third Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

OVERVIEW  Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., (the "Corporation") was created
after the Board of Directors of Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin")
approved a plan under which Lockheed Martin transferred to the Corporation its
ownership interest in the construction aggregates business along with its
ownership of 100% of the common stock of Martin Marietta Magnesia Specialties
Inc.  The Corporation was incorporated on November 12, 1993, and consummated an
initial public offering of 8,797,500 shares of its Common Stock in February
1994.  Upon completion of the initial public offering, Lockheed Martin's
beneficial ownership of the Corporation's Common Stock was reduced to
approximately 81% of the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock.  Lockheed
Martin disposed of its remaining ownership interest in the Corporation in
October 1996, by means of a split-off, an exchange offer pursuant to which
Lockheed Martin stockholders were given the opportunity to exchange some or all
of their shares of Lockheed Martin common stock for a certain number of shares
of the Corporation's Common Stock (the "Exchange Offer") on a tax-free basis.

         As a result of this transaction, all of Lockheed Martin's
approximately 81% interest in the Corporation's Common Stock was exchanged with
Lockheed Martin stockholders who participated in the Exchange Offer.
Consummation of the Exchange Offer did not impact the Corporation's financial
position or its results of operations as of the consummation date of the
transaction and for the period then ended.  For additional discussion in
connection with the Exchange Offer, see "Other Matters" on page 15.

         The Corporation reports operations in two industry reporting segments,
aggregates and magnesia-based products.  The Corporation is the United States'
second largest producer of aggregates used for the construction of highways and
other infrastructure projects and for commercial and residential construction.
The Corporation's Aggregates division processes or ships aggregates, primarily
crushed stone, from a network of approximately 200 quarries and distribution
facilities in 19 states in the southeastern, midwestern and central regions of
the United States and in the Bahamas and Canada.  The Corporation also
manufacturers and markets magnesia-based products, including heat-resistant
refractory products for the steel industry and magnesia-based chemical products
for industrial, agricultural and environmental uses, including wastewater
treatment and acid neutralization.

         The Corporation continued in excellent overall financial condition
during the third quarter of 1996 and has adequate capital resources to operate,
compete and grow in an increasingly challenging and competitive environment.
Net earnings for the third quarter of 1996 were $27.5 million, or $0.60 per
share, an increase of 17% over 1995 third-quarter earnings of $23.4 million,
or $0.51 per share.

                    For the Quarter Ended September 30, 1996

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (Continued)

        Third Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

         At September 30, 1996, total shareholders' equity reached $466.5
million, and the Corporation's ratio of debt to total capitalization was 23%,
compared with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 35% at year-end 1995.  Total
debt at year-end reflected a temporary increase in long-term debt associated
with the December 1995 sale of the Corporation's $125 million 7% Debentures.
The proceeds from the sale of these Debentures were used ultimately to repay
the $100 million aggregate principal amount of the Corporation's 8-1/2% Notes
upon their maturity on March 1, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  Net sales for the quarter were $201.5 million, a
5% increase over 1995 third quarter sales of $191.1 million.  Net sales for the
first nine months of 1996 were $538.5 million, an increase of 8% over net sales
for the year-earlier period of $497.0 million.  Earnings from operations were
up $6.0 million, or 16%, to $43.1 million for the third quarter of 1996 over
the same period in 1995, with earnings from operations up $8.9 million, to
$91.5 million for the first nine months of 1996, compared with the first nine
months of 1995.  Consolidated net earnings for the quarter increased 17% to
$27.5 million, or $0.60 per share, from 1995 third quarter net earnings of
$23.4 million, or $0.51 per share.  For the nine-month period ended September
30, 1996, consolidated net earnings were $58.6 million, or $1.27 per share.
This represents an increase of 14% over net earnings for the first nine months
of 1995 of $51.6 million, or $1.12 per share.

         Sales for the Aggregates division increased 6% to $169.5 million for
the third quarter, compared with the year-earlier period.  The division's
sales increased 9% to $440.8 million for the first nine months of 1996,
compared with the first nine months of 1995.  This increase in sales reflects
record year-to-date aggregates shipments of 75.3 million tons and an increase
in the division's average net selling price, when compared to the same period
in 1995.  The division's third quarter operating profits were $40.5 million, an
increase of 18% over operating profits for the year-earlier period of $34.4
million.  The division's operating profits for the first nine months of 1996
increased 9% to $83.7 million from $76.8 million for the first nine months of
1995, despite the effect of Hurricane Fran and subsequent heavy rainfall during
September in the southeast and the effect of the adverse weather conditions
that existed within most of the markets served by the division during the first
quarter of 1996.  The Corporation's aggregates business is highly seasonal, due
primarily to the effect of weather conditions on construction activity levels,
most of which occurs typically in the spring, summer, and early fall.
Production costs were negatively affected by the severe winter weather
conditions experienced during the first quarter, along with the hurricane and
related wet conditions that existed during the third quarter of this year.
Management continues to believe that the Corporation's annual production and
shipments, excluding any acquisition activities, will see some improvement for
the full year ending December 31, 1996, compared with the prior year.

         The Magnesia Specialties division had third quarter 1996 sales of
$32.0 million, a slight increase over the third quarter sales of 1995, and had
nine month 1996 sales of $97.7 million, an increase of 4% in 1996 over 1995.
The division's operating earnings for the third quarter of $2.5 million were 3%
below the operating results for the prior-year period as a result of an
explosion and fire in an electrical substation, which occurred at the
Woodville, Ohio, lime plant during the latter part of the second quarter of
this year.  For the nine-month period, the division's earnings from operations
increased substantially from $5.9 million in 1995 to $7.8 million in 1996.
This increase principally reflects the negative effect of the strike which
occurred during 1995 at a major operating location.

Other income and expenses, net, for the nine months ended September 30, were
$5.2 million in income in 1996 and $4.4 million in income in 1995.  In addition
to several offsetting amounts, the 1996 amount included nonrecurring pretax
gains of approximately $1.2 million associated with the selling of certain
assets and approximately $1.2 million of interest income from affiliates loans.
The 1995 amount also included a nonrecurring pretax gain of approximately $1.4
million related to certain

asset dispositions in connection with one of the Corporation's equity
investments and $0.9 million of interest income from loans to affiliates.  It
should be noted that interest income from loans to Lockheed Martin has remained
classified with transactions with affiliates for financial reporting purposes.

         Interest expense was approximately $1.0 million, or 16%, higher in the
first nine months of 1996 over 1995.  The increase in 1996 resulted from the
net effect of the additional long-term borrowings by the Corporation in
December 1995, when the Corporation publicly offered and sold its $125 million
7% Debentures, offset by the reduction of long-term debt during the period
caused by the repayment of the 8 1/2% Notes on March 1, 1996, and the reduced
amounts outstanding during the period that were due to Lockheed Martin under
the credit agreement.

         The Corporation's estimated effective income tax rate for the first
nine months was 33.9% in 1996 and 35.5% in 1995.  See Note 4 of the Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES   Net cash flow provided by operating
activities during the first nine months of 1996 was $71.9 million, compared
with $85.5 million in the comparable period of 1995.  The cash flow from
operating activities for both 1995 and 1996 was principally from earnings,
before deducting depreciation, depletion and amortization, offset by increased
demand for working capital.  Working capital increases during the first nine
months of 1996 were principally due to an increase in accounts receivable
balances as a result of growth in aggregates demand.  The increased demand on
working capital during the first nine months of 1995 was primarily the result
of increases in inventory and accounts receivable balances, both of which were
offset somewhat by increased trade accounts payable and other liabilities
balances. The seasonal nature of the construction aggregates business impacts
quarterly net cash provided by operating activities when compared with the
year.  Accordingly, full year 1995 net cash provided by operating activities
was $128.6 million, compared with the $85.5 million provided by operations in
the first nine months of 1995.  Capital expenditures are expected to be
approximately $83 million for 1996, exclusive of acquisitions.  Comparable
capital expenditures, were $71.6 million in 1995.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Corporation relies, for its liquidity requirements, upon
internally generated funds, access to capital markets, and funds obtained under
its cash management agreement and credit agreement, each with its former
majority shareholder, Lockheed Martin.  Prospectively, management may choose to
borrow from third-party lenders or through the Corporation's access to capital
markets.  The above-referenced credit agreement with Lockheed Martin, which may
be extended by mutual consent of both parties, provides for borrowings of up to
$55 million.  Loans outstanding under the credit agreement bear interest at a
published prime interest rate or at LIBOR plus a graduated rate.

         During the fourth quarter of 1996, management expects to establish a
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks to replace the current
credit agreements with Lockheed Martin.  It should be noted, however, that the
Corporation has not determined the specific timing when, or method by which, it
may establish and access such a banking credit facility.  Further, while any
such borrowings may be used initially to provide necessary working capital
funds, it is anticipated that the Corporation will repay the funds borrowed
under its credit agreement with Lockheed Martin with such bank borrowings.
Additionally, management may choose at some future time to further access the
public debt markets through the issuance of commercial paper or other debt
securities.  Again, it should be noted that the Corporation has not determined
the method or methods by which it may further access the public market.

         With respect to the Corporation's ability to access the public market,
it has an effective shelf registration on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commissions for the offering of up to $175 million of debt securities, which
may be issued from time to time.  The Corporation's ability to issue such debt
securities at any time is dependent, among other things, upon market
conditions.

         Based on prior performance and current expectations, the Corporation's
management believes that cash flows from internally generated funds and its
access to capital markets are expected to continue to be sufficient to provide
the capital resources necessary to fund the operating needs of its existing
businesses, cover debt service requirements, and allow for payment of
dividends.  The Corporation may be required to obtain additional levels of
financing in order to fund certain strategic acquisitions if any such
opportunities arise.  Currently, the Corporation's senior unsecured debt is
rated "A" by Standard &

Poor's and "A3" by Moody's.  In an October 1996 press release, Standard &
Poor's affirmed the Corporation's "A" senior debt rating and removed it from
CreditWatch -- an action that was taken in March 1996 as a result of its then
81% ownership by Lockheed Martin.  Standard & Poor's announced that the October
rating action reflects the completion of Lockheed Martin's split-off of its
ownership interest in the Corporation.  While management believes its credit
ratings will remain at an investment-grade level, no assurance can be given
that these ratings will remain at the above-mentioned levels.

         The Corporation may repurchase up to 2.5 million shares of its common
stock under authorizations from the Corporation's Board of Directors for use in
the Amended Omnibus Securities Award Plan and for general corporate purposes.
As of November 1, 1996, there have been 68,200 shares repurchased under these
authorizations.

OTHER MATTERS    In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Corporation's Board
of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan that became effective, and
certain terms of which were established, upon consummation of the split-off
from Lockheed Martin.  The shareholder rights plan provides, among other
things, that if any person or group of persons becomes the beneficial owner of
15% or more of the Corporation's Common Stock, all holders of rights issued
pursuant to the plan (other than such person or group of persons and their
affiliates, associates and transferees) will have the right to acquire shares
of the Corporation's Common Stock at 50% of the then current market value.

         Also in connection with the Exchange Offer, the Board of Directors
adopted, and recommended that the shareholders of the Corporation approve at a
special meeting called for such purpose, certain amendments to the
Corporation's Articles of Incorporation.  The amendments reduce the
vulnerability of the Corporation to an unsolicited takeover proposal,
particularly one that is made at an inadequate price or does not contemplate
the acquisition of all of the Corporation's Common Stock.  The special meeting
of the shareholders to approve such amendments was held on September 27, 1996,
and all amendments were approved as proposed.
