            NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
     Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the "Corporation") have been prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
     financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on
     Form 10-Q and to Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  The Corporation has
     continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the audited
     consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in
     the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
     31, 1995, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27,
     1996.  In the opinion of management, the interim financial information
     provided herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
     accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations
     for the interim periods.  The results of operations for the three months
     ended March 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for the full year.

     The Corporation is a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed
     Martin") which was formed as a result of a business combination in March
     1995 between the Martin Marietta Corporation ("Martin Marietta") and the
     Lockheed Corporation.  Lockheed Martin, directly and indirectly through a
     subsidiary, owns approximately 81% of the Corporation's outstanding common
     stock.  For purposes of these financial statements and the related notes
     thereto, all references to Lockheed Martin are meant to include Martin
     Marietta Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where
     otherwise specified.

</TABLE>


     The 8-1/2% Notes were redeemed by the holders upon their maturity on
     March 1, 1996.  During the period these Notes were outstanding, Lockheed
     Martin reimbursed the Corporation for the portion of the interest in
     excess of 5% per annum.

     In addition to the above stated long-term debt, the Corporation borrowed,
     from a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, $17 million under the terms of a
     credit agreement and $1.8 million under the terms of a cash management
     agreement.  For financial reporting purposes, these amounts are classified
     with affiliates payable in the accompanying financial statements.  The
     proceeds of these borrowings were used primarily to help finance the
     repayment of the 8-1/2% Notes and to assist funding the Corporation's
     working capital requirements during the first quarter of 1996.

     The Corporation's interest payments were approximately $2.6 million in
     1996 and $2.7 million in 1995 for the three months ended March 31.

4.   Income Taxes

     The Corporation's effective income tax rate for the first three months was
     34.2% in 1996 and 35.1% in 1995.  The effective rate for the first quarter
     of 1996 was lower than the current federal corporate income tax rate of
     35% due to the effect of several offsetting factors.  Consequently, the
     Corporation's effective tax rate reflects the effect of state income taxes
     which has been more than offset by the favorable impact of differences in
     book and tax accounting arising from the permanent benefits associated
     with the depletion allowances for mineral reserves, foreign subsidiaries'
     operating earnings, and equity earnings in nonconsolidated investments.

     Currently, the results of operations of the Corporation are included in a
     consolidated federal income tax return with Lockheed Martin.  For years
     ended prior to January 1, 1995, the Corporation's results of operations
     were included in a consolidated federal income tax return with Martin
     Marietta. Income taxes allocable to the operations of the Corporation are
     calculated as if it had filed separate income tax returns for the periods
     presented herein.

     The Corporation's income tax payments were approximately $1.9 million in
     1996 and $0.3 million in 1995, for the three months ended March 31.

5.    Contingencies

      In the opinion of management and counsel, it is unlikely that the outcome
      of litigation and other proceedings, including those pertaining to
      environmental matters, relating to the Corporation and its subsidiaries,
      will have a material adverse effect on the results of the Corporation's
      operations or its financial position.

6.    Other Matters

      The Corporation adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
      No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
      Assets to be Disposed Of" ("FAS 121") as of January 1, 1996.  The
      pronouncement requires that certain long-lived assets be reviewed for
      potential impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
      of such assets may not be recoverable.  Additionally, FAS 121 requires
      that certain long-lived assets held for disposition be reported at the
      lower of the carrying amount or fair value less any selling costs. The
      impact of the adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material
      effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial position or on its
      results of operations.

      In February 1994, the Corporation was authorized by its shareholders and
      the Board of Directors to repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the
      Corporation's Common Stock for issuance under the Corporation's Omnibus
      Securities Award Plan.  On May 3, 1994, the Board of Directors authorized
      the repurchase of an additional 500,000 shares for general corporate
      purposes. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there
      have been 68,200 shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Corporation
      under these authorizations.

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

                  First Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995


OVERVIEW    Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (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 manufactures 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
first quarter of 1996 and maintains adequate capital resources to operate,
compete and grow in an increasingly challenging competitive environment.  Net
earnings for the first quarter of 1996 were $4.3 million, or $0.09 per share, a
significant decrease from 1995 first quarter earnings of $8.2 million, or $0.18
per share, primarily as a result of severe adverse weather conditions during
the quarter.  The Corporation repaid the $100 million principal amount of its
8-1/2% Notes which were redeemed by the holders on March 1, 1996.  The
Corporation's ratio of debt to total capitalization at March 31, 1996, was 26%,
down from 35% reported at December 31, 1995.

The Corporation entered into an agreement, effective March 31, 1996, to sell
certain former Dravo operations in the Pittsburgh area.  The costs and expenses
associated with the divestiture of these operations were provided for in the
first quarter of 1995 in connection with the Dravo Basic Materials acquisition
which was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  Consequently,
the divestiture of these operations, which transaction closed on April 4, 1996,
had no impact on the Corporation's financial position or on its results of
operations.

Management is aware that, in the wake of Lockheed Martin's acquisition of the
Loral Corporation, Lockheed Martin has stated that it is reviewing certain
non-strategic businesses and other assets, including its 81% ownership of the
Corporation's common stock, with respect to possible divestiture.  However, as
of the date of this filing, management is not aware of any final decision that
has been made by Lockheed Martin in connection with its continued ownership of
the Corporation's common stock.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales for the quarter were $136.5 million, a 5%
increase over 1995 first quarter sales of $129.9 million.  Earnings from
operations were $8.6 million in the first three months of 1996 compared with
$14.5 million in the first three months of 1995.  Consolidated net earnings for
the quarter were $4.3 million, or $0.09 per share, a decrease of $3.9 million
from 1995 first quarter earnings of $8.2 million, or  $0.18 per share.

                                  (Continued)

                  First Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Sales for the Aggregates division increased 6%
to $103.6 million for the first quarter, compared with the year-earlier period. 
This increase in sales reflects an approximate 4% increase in shipments and a
slight increase in the division's average net selling price, when compared to
the same period in 1995.  The division's operating profits of $5.6 million
dropped significantly in the first quarter of 1996 compared with the same period
in 1995.  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.
Consequently, severe winter weather conditions within most of the markets served
by the division during the first quarter of 1996 contributed to lower production
levels and higher costs. Management believes that the Corporation's annual
production and shipments, excluding acquisitions, will see some improvement for
the full year 1996, compared to the prior year.

The Magnesia Specialties division had three-month 1996 sales of approximately
$32.9 million, an increase of approximately 3% in the first three months of
1996 over 1995.  Even though shipments of refractory products were down
slightly from the year-earlier period, overall prices were up in the quarter.
While a softening in pricing pressure occurred in the first quarter because of
a more favorable customer and product mix, management expects that price
weaknesses will continue in this sector for the foreseeable future due to
market limitations.  Chemical product sales for the quarter were above the
prior year's first quarter sales,  primarily as a result of strong sales of
industrial products and magnesium hydroxide.  Sales of lime, used in the steel
industry's basis oxygen furnaces, continued to strengthen into the first
quarter.  Compared to the year-earlier period,  the division's operating
earnings increased 8% to $3.0 million.

The labor union contract which covers the employees at the Magnesia Specialties
operation at Woodville, Ohio, expires in June 1996.  There are pending
negotiations in connection with this union agreement. The Corporation's
management considers its relations with its employees to be good and believes
that it will be successful in negotiating a new labor contract; however, there
can be no assurance that a successor agreement will be reached or that a work
stoppage will not occur.

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

                  First Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Other income and expenses, net, for the
quarter ended March 31, were $1.2 million in income in 1996 and $0.3 million in
income in 1995.  In addition to several offsetting amounts, the 1996 amount
included $1.1 million of interest income principally from amounts on loan to
Lockheed Martin during the quarter and $0.4 million of equity losses from the
Corporation's investment in an Iowa-based operation.  The 1995 amount included  
only $0.6 million of interest income during the first quarter of 1995 and $0.9
million of equity losses from the Iowa-based investment.

Interest expense was approximately $1.1 million, or 50%, higher in the first
three 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 reductions of long-term debt during the quarter
caused by the repayment of the 8-1/2% Notes on March 1, 1996, and the reduced
amounts outstanding during the quarter that were due to Lockheed Martin under
the credit agreement.

The Corporation's estimated effective tax rate for the first three months was
34.2% in 1996 and 35.1% 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 quarter of 1996 was $6.3 million compared with net
cash provided by operations of $17.3 million in the comparable period of 1995.
The cash flow for both 1995 and 1996 was principally from earnings, before
deducting depreciation, depletion and amortization, offset by working capital   
increases.  Working capital increases during the first quarter of 1996 were
primarily the result of increases in inventory and accounts receivable
balances, as well as decreases in trade accounts payable.  Working capital
demand increased in the first quarter of 1995 principally because of increases
in inventory and accounts receivable balances as a result of growth in
aggregates demand and a build-up of magnesia-based product quantities, both of
which were offset by increased balances in trade accounts payable, accrued
income taxes and accrued expenses in connection with the Dravo transaction. 
The seasonal nature of the construction aggregates business impacts quarterly
net cash provided by operating activities when compared with the year.  Full
year 1995 net cash provided by operating activities was $128.6 million,
compared with $17.3 million provided by operations in the first quarter of
1995.

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

                  First Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued) First quarter capital expenditures
exclusive of acquisitions were $11.3 million in 1996 and $15.5 million in 1995.
Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $82 million for 1996,
exclusive of acquisitions.  Comparable capital expenditures were $72 million in
1995.

The Corporation relies, for its liquidity requirements, on internally generated
funds, access to capital markets, and funds provided under a cash management
agreement and credit agreement, each with a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin.
Prospectively, the Corporation may borrow from third-party lenders or through
its access to capital markets.  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 Commission for the offering of up to $175 million
of debt securities, which may be issued from time to time.  Its ability to
borrow or issue debt securities is dependent, among other things, upon market
conditions.  As of March 31, 1996, $1.8 million was outstanding under the cash
management agreement and approximately $17.0 million was outstanding under the
terms of the credit agreement.  The proceeds from these borrowings were used
primarily to help finance the repayment of the 8-1/2% Notes and to assist
funding the Corporation's working capital requirements.  The approximately $87
million of the Corporation's funds, that were invested with Lockheed Martin
under the terms of the cash management agreement at year-end 1995, were also
used for the repayment of the 8-1/2% Notes.

The Corporation may repurchase up to 2.5 million shares of its common stock
under authorizations of the Board of Directors for use in connection with the
Corporation's Omnibus Securities Award Plan and general corporate purposes.  As
of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been 68,200
shares repurchased by the Corporation under these authorizations.

Based on prior performance and current expectations, the Corporation's
management believes cash flows from internally generated funds and access to
capital markets will permit the Corporation to continue to fund the operations
of existing businesses, cover debt service requirements, and allow for the
payment of dividends in 1996.  The Corporation may be required to obtain
additional financing in order to fund strategic acquisitions if any such
opportunities arise.  The Corporation's 8-1/2% Notes matured on March 1, 1996,
and were paid in full upon redemption by their holders.  During the period
these Notes were outstanding, Lockheed Martin reimbursed the Corporation for
the portion of interest paid by the Corporation in excess of 5%.
