ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
         ------------------------------------

     Lockheed Corporation ("Lockheed), Martin Marietta Corporation ("Martin
Marietta") and Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin") entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of August 29, 1994, as amended as
of February 7, 1995, the ("Reorganization Agreement").  The Reorganization
Agreement provided for, among other things, (a) the merger of Atlantic Sub,
Inc., a Maryland Corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin
("Atlantic Sub") with and into Martin Marietta (the "Atlantic Sub Merger")
pursuant to a Plan and Agreement of Merger, dated as of August 29, 1994 (the
"Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement") among Martin Marietta, Atlantic Sub and
Lockheed Martin, and (b) the merger of Pacific Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation
and wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin ("Pacific Sub"), with and into
Lockheed pursuant to a Plan and Agreement of Merger, dated as of August 29, 1994
(the "Pacific Sub Merger Agreement"), among Lockheed, Pacific Sub and Lockheed
Martin (the "Pacific Sub Merger" and together with the Atlantic Sub Merger, the
"Mergers").

     The Reorganization Agreement and the related Atlantic Sub Merger Agreement
and Pacific Sub Merger Agreement contemplated the combination of the businesses
of Lockheed and Martin Marietta under a holding company, Lockheed Martin (the
"Combination").  Special meetings of the stockholders of Lockheed and Martin
Marietta at which the stockholders were asked, pursuant to a Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus contained within Lockheed Martin's Form S-4 Registration
Statement (No. 33-57645) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
February 9, 1995, to consider and vote upon, among other things, the Combination
were held on March 15, 1995.  The stockholders of each of Lockheed and Martin
Marietta approved the Combination at their respective meetings.

     Following receipt of these approvals, Articles of Merger relating to the
Atlantic Sub Merger were filed with the Department of Assessments and Taxation
of the State of Maryland and a Certificate of Merger relating to the  Pacific
Sub Merger was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
These filings were accepted and the Mergers became effective on March 15, 1995
with the result that each of Lockheed and Martin Marietta became, as of March
15, 1995, wholly owned subsidiaries of Lockheed Martin.  The Combination was
structured as a "merger of equals" and did not involve the sale of either
Lockheed or Martin Marietta.  No consideration was paid by either Lockheed or
Martin Marietta to the other, consequently there was no source of funds.

     Upon consummation of the Atlantic Sub Merger, (i) each outstanding share of
Martin Marietta common stock was converted into the right to receive one share
of Lockheed Martin common stock, (ii) each outstanding share of Martin Marietta
Series A Preferred Stock was converted into the right to receive one share of
Lockheed Martin Series A Preferred Stock and (iii) any outstanding shares of
Martin Marietta common stock owned by Lockheed or any subsidiary of Lockheed
were cancelled and no longer exist. Upon consummation of the Pacific Sub Merger,
(i) each outstanding share of Lockheed common stock was converted into the right
to receive 1.63 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock and (ii) any outstanding
shares of Lockheed common stock owned by Martin Marietta or any subsidiary of
Martin Marietta or held by Lockheed in its treasury were cancelled and no longer
exist. Fractional shares of Lockheed Martin common stock will not be issued in
connection with the Pacific Sub merger. Holders of Lockheed common stock
otherwise entitled to a fractional share will be paid an amount in cash equal to
the same fraction of the fair market value of a whole share of Lockheed Martin
common stock, determined as set forth in the Reorganization Agreement. The
exchange ratios were determined through arm's-length negotiation between
Lockheed and Martin Marietta.

     Lockheed Martin common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.
("NYSE") and trades under the symbol "LMT".  In conjunction with the
consummation of the Combination, Martin Marietta delisted its 7% debentures due
2011 which had previously been listed on the NYSE.

     The businesses of Lockheed Martin, through its wholly owned subsidiaries
Lockheed and Martin Marietta and their respective subsidiaries, initially
consists of the businesses conducted by Lockheed and Martin Marietta and their
respective subsidiaries immediately prior to the consummation of the
Combination.  In this regard, Lockheed Martin intends to continue to devote the
assets associated with these businesses to generally the same purposes as these
assets were employed prior to the Combination.
