PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS


GENERAL

     Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin" or the "Corporation") was
incorporated in Maryland on August 29, 1994 to effect the combination (the
"Combination") of the businesses of Martin Marietta Corporation and Lockheed
Corporation.  The Combination was consummated on March 15, 1995.  Lockheed
Martin is a highly diversified global enterprise principally engaged in the
conception, research, design, development, manufacture and integration of
advanced-technology products and services.

LORAL TRANSACTION

     On April 23, 1996, in accordance with the terms of an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Loral Merger Agreement") with Loral Corporation ("Loral"), LAC
Acquisition Corporation ("LAC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin,
purchased approximately 94.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Loral
for an aggregate consideration of $38 per share.  Immediately thereafter in
accordance with the terms of the Loral Merger Agreement, LAC merged with and
into Loral (the "Loral Merger").  In the Loral Merger, each remaining share of
common stock of Loral not owned by LAC was converted into the right to receive
$38, each outstanding share of common stock of LAC was converted into shares of
common stock of Loral, and Loral changed its name to Lockheed Martin Tactical
Systems, Inc. ("Tactical Systems").  As a result of
<PAGE>
 
these transactions, Tactical Systems became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation.

     The Loral Merger Agreement contemplated a series of transactions that
resulted in (i) the distribution, to stockholders of Loral immediately prior to
the consummation of the Tender Offer, of shares of capital stock in Loral Space
& Communications, Ltd. ("Loral SpaceCom"), a newly-formed Bermuda company, which
now owns and manages substantially all of Loral's former space and satellite
telecommunications interests, including Loral's direct and indirect interests in
Globalstar, L.P. and Space Systems/Loral, Inc., and certain other assets of
Loral, and (ii) the acquisition by the Corporation of Loral's defense
electronics and systems integration businesses.

     In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loral Merger
Agreement and the related agreements between the Corporation and Loral, the
Corporation acquired shares of preferred stock of Loral SpaceCom that were
convertible into approximately 20% of Loral SpaceCom's common stock on a fully
diluted basis at the time acquired.  The Corporation's ownership of the
preferred stock of Loral SpaceCom is subject to certain limitations and
restrictions set forth in the terms and conditions of the preferred stock and in
agreements between the Corporation and Loral SpaceCom.

BUSINESSES

     On January 25, 1996, Lockheed Martin entered into an Agreement and Plans of
Merger and Complete Liquidation with certain of its direct and indirect wholly-
owned subsidiaries. As a result, on

                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>
 
January 28, 1996, each of Lockheed Corporation, Lockheed Missiles and Space
Company, Inc., Lockheed Sanders, Inc., Martin Marietta Corporation and Martin
Marietta Technologies, Inc. were merged with and into Lockheed Martin.  In
addition, following the Loral Merger, the Corporation consummated an internal
reorganization of certain of its operating sectors to integrate the Tactical
Systems' businesses acquired from Loral with the pre-existing businesses of the
Corporation.

     On January 31, 1997, the Corporation entered into a memorandum of
understanding (the "Memorandum of Understanding") with Lehman Brothers Holdings,
Inc. and a management team led by Frank C. Lanza, Executive Vice President of
Lockheed Martin, and Robert V. LaPenta, Corporate Vice President of Lockheed
Martin, pursuant to which Lockheed Martin agreed to establish Newco Corporation
("Newco") consisting of certain component- and product-oriented businesses of
Lockheed Martin.  Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, Lehman
Brothers Capital Partners III, L.P. would own 50.1%, the management team would
own 15% and the Corporation would retain 34.9% of Newco.  The closing of the
transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including the execution of a
definitive agreement on terms acceptable to the parties.  In conjunction with
the establishment of Newco, the Corporation again reorganized certain of its
operating sectors and now conducts its principal business through five major
operating sectors:  Space & Strategic Missiles; Electronics; Information &
Services (which includes the Corporation's interest in Newco); Aeronautics; and

                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>
 
Energy & Environment.  See "Business - Additional Activities and Business
Segment Reporting" on page 10 through page 11.

Space & Strategic Missiles Sector
- ---------------------------------

     The Space & Strategic Missiles Sector's activities include the design,
development, engineering and production of civil, commercial and military space
systems, including:  spacecraft, space launch vehicles, manned space systems and
their supporting ground systems and services; telecommunications systems and
services; strategic fleet ballistic missiles; and defensive missiles.

     Major programs of the Space & Strategic Missiles Sector include the Titan
family of launch vehicles including the Titan IV expendable launch vehicle, the
Trident II submarine launched fleet ballistic missile, the MILSTAR
communications satellite, the Atlas expendable launch vehicle, the production of
various government and commercial communications and environmental monitoring
satellites, and the THAAD ground-based theater air defense system.  During 1996,
the Space & Strategic Missiles Sector assumed responsibility for the
Corporation's manned space systems unit which manufactures the Space Shuttle
external tank.  The Space & Strategic Missiles Sector is also engaged in a
substantial amount of classified activities.

     In 1996, the U.S. Air Force awarded the Corporation a contract to develop
the next generation missile warning and tracking system called the Space-Based
Infrared System (SBIRS).  The purpose of the SBIRS program is to provide early
detection of a ballistic missile

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>
 
attack world-wide.  On December 20, 1996, Lockheed Martin was picked by the U.S.
Air Force as one of two contractors that will proceed with producing designs for
the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV).  The Air Force envisions that the
EELV will replace existing Delta, Atlas and Titan space launch vehicles for use
in launching government and commercial payloads.

     Net sales by the Sector represented approximately 29.4% of the
Corporation's consolidated net sales in 1996. Net sales to the United States
Government, excluding Foreign Military Sales, represented approximately 81% of
the Sector's net sales in 1996.

Electronics Sector
- ------------------

     The Electronics Sector's activities primarily relate to the design,
development, engineering and production of high performance electronic systems
for undersea, shipboard, land-based, airborne-and space-based applications.
Major business elements include:  Naval Systems; Missiles and Air Defense;
Aerospace Systems & Electronics; and Commercial, Civil and Adjacent.  The Naval
Systems element serves the global market with major lines of business in surface
ship and submarine combat systems, missile launching, anti-submarine warfare,
and navigation systems.  The Missiles and Air Defense element produces anti-
armor missiles; indirect fire support weapons systems; smart munitions; and air
defense systems.  The Aerospace Systems and Electronics element includes system
integration capabilities for both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft; and major
lines of electronics subsystems such as:  aircraft controls systems; electronic
warfare; electro-optic and

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>
 
night vision; radar; display; and computers for the military and commercial
aerospace market.  The Commercial, Civil, and Adjacent element lines of business
include positions in growing niche markets such as telecommunications;
commercial satellite electronics; mail handling automation systems;
transportation; and electronics fabrication.

     The Corporation is the prime contractor for the U.S. Navy's AEGIS fleet air
defense system, including the Vertical Launch System, and the U.S. Air Force's
and Navy's LANTIRN targeting and navigation system, and for the development and
production of EH-101 Merlin helicopters for the United Kingdom's Ministry of
Defence.  In addition, the Sector manufacturers and installs bar code readers
and sorters for the U.S. Postal Service, produces the Target Acquisition
Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor (TADS/PNVS) and test hardware for
the U.S. Army's PATRIOT Advanced Capability (PAC-3) missile.  In 1997, the
Sector anticipates that an increased percentage of its revenues will be derived
from sales of the Multiple Launch Rocket System, the U.S. Army's general support
fire power system.

     In 1996, the Corporation was chosen as one of two competitors for the first
phase of the military's Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM)
development program.  JASSM is a conventional standoff weapon that the U.S. Air
Force and U.S. Navy envision replacing the Tri Service Standoff Attack Missile.
In addition, the Electronics Sector was recently awarded contracts for the
development of the combat system for the U.S. Navy's new attack submarine; the
production of the SQQ-89 surface ship Antisubmarine Warfare Combat System;

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>
 
and the production of Tray Management Systems for the U.S. Postal Service.
Effective January 1, 1997, the Corporation completed the divestiture of the
assets of its Armament Systems and Defense Systems businesses to General
Dynamics Corporation.

     Net sales by the Electronics Sector, including sales by Armament Systems
and Defense Systems, represented approximately 24.9% of the Corporation's
consolidated net sales in 1996. Net sales to the United States Government,
excluding Foreign Military Sales, represented approximately 66.7% of the
Sector's net sales in 1996.

Information & Services Sector
- -----------------------------

     The Information & Services Sector is involved in the development,
integration and operation of large, complex information systems; engineering,
technical and management services for federal customers; transaction processing
systems and services for state and local government agencies; commercial
information technology outsourcing; manufacture and distribution of computer
peripherals, graphics engines and intranet software; and the provision of
internal information technology support to the Corporation.

     In 1996, NASA awarded the Space Flight Operations Contract to United Space
Alliance (USA), a limited liability company owned by Lockheed Martin and The
Boeing Company, making USA the single prime contractor for Space Shuttle
operations.  Through USA, the Sector performs processing services for NASA's
space shuttle program.  Through its Services Group, the Information & Services
Sector provides a wide array of science and engineering, information

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>
 
management, operation and maintenance, logistics, assembly and test and
installation services to governmental agencies and prime contractors.  The
Sector produces the Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS), including the
U.S. Navy's AN/USM-636 CASS, a comprehensive test platform that provides general
purpose analog and digital test capabilities.  The Corporation's Access Graphics
and certain other businesses, together with CalComp Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:
CLCP), a majority-owned affiliate of Lockheed Martin, are involved in commercial
markets for computer graphics, hardware distribution and data storage devices.
The Sector is upgrading the U.S. National Air Traffic Control System through
replacement of display systems at 20 FAA Control Centers and development of an
advanced tower management system.  Similar work is under way in the United
Kingdom.  In addition, the Sector performs a substantial amount of classified
work.

     In 1996, Lockheed Martin and Intel signed an agreement to jointly develop a
new chip that will give desktop computer users real-time, three-dimensional
color graphics.  The chips are based on Lockheed Martin military training and
simulation technology.

     Net sales by the Information & Services Sector represented approximately
21.8% of Lockheed Martin's consolidated net sales in 1996. Net sales to the
United States Government, excluding Foreign Military Sales, represented
approximately 65.8% of the Sector's net sales in 1996.

                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>
 
Aeronautics Sector
- ------------------

     The Aeronautics Sector is involved in the design, development, engineering
and production of fighter, bomber, special mission, airlift, antisubmarine
warfare, reconnaissance, surveillance and high performance aircraft; systems for
military operations; aircraft controls and subsystems; thrust reversers; and
aircraft modification and maintenance and logistics support for military and
civilian customers.

     The Corporation is the prime contractor on the F-16 "Fighting Falcon"
fighter aircraft, leads the team responsible for the Air Force's F-22 air
superiority fighter program and provides the C-130 series airlift aircraft.  In
the commercial aircraft business the Sector manufactures thrust reversers for
commercial jet engines.  The Corporation is also involved in upgrading aircraft,
including the U-2 and SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft, the F-117 fighter bomber
and earlier model C-130s.  Through the Skunk Works, the Aeronautics Sector
performs a substantial amount of classified work.

     On July 2, 1996, the Corporation entered into a cooperative agreement with
NASA to build and demonstrate the prototype X-33 single-stage-to-orbit reusable
launch vehicle, the next generation of space shuttle. NASA's funding and the
industry team investment provide approximately $1.0 billion for the X-33 project
through 1999. On November 16, 1996, the Corporation was selected as one of two
defense contractors to proceed to the concept demonstration phase of the
government's Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Program. Contract tasks include the
design, development, construction and flight test of this full-scale
demonstration aircraft.

                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>
 
     Net sales by the Aeronautics Sector represented approximately 20.8% of the
Corporation's consolidated net sales in 1996. Net sales to the United States
Government, excluding Foreign Military Sales, represented approximately 68.4% of
the Sector's net sales in 1996.

Energy & Environment Sector
- ---------------------------

     The Energy & Environment Sector is responsible for the Corporation's energy
and environmental remediation businesses, including the management of various
U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) activities.  The Corporation is the largest
management and operations contractor within the DoE's system of laboratories and
other facilities and manages, among other facilities, the Sandia National
Laboratories, the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory and
the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

     Net sales by the Sector represented less than 1% of the Corporation's
consolidated net sales in 1996. Net sales to the United States Government
represented approximately 85.1% of the Sector's net sales in 1996.

Additional Activities and Business Segment Reporting
- ----------------------------------------------------

     In addition to the above activities, Lockheed Martin has real estate
subsidiaries in Florida and Maryland, runs research laboratories and carries on
other miscellaneous activities.

     In 1996, the Corporation completed its divestiture of Martin Marietta
Materials, Inc. ("Materials") in an exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer")
pursuant to which Lockheed Martin exchanged

                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>
 
37,350,000 shares of Materials common stock for 7,913,136 shares of Lockheed
Martin common stock.

     For business segment reporting in the Corporation's consolidated financial
statements, the Space & Strategic Missiles, Electronics, Information & Services
and Aeronautics Sectors each comprise reportable business segments.  The Energy
& Environment Sector, together with the additional activities described in the
preceding paragraphs, are reported as Energy, Materials and Other and represents
the balance of the Corporation's revenues.

     The Corporation's principal executive offices are located at 6801 Rockledge
Drive, Bethesda, Maryland 20817.  The telephone number of the Corporation is
(301) 897-6000.

COMPETITION AND RISK

     Lockheed Martin's sales to the U.S. Government, excluding Foreign Military
Sales, amounted to approximately 69.6% of net sales for the year ended December
31, 1996.  Approximately 12.3% of net sales for fiscal year 1996 were sales to
foreign governments and approximately 18.0% of net sales were to commercial
customers of which 5.4% were international customers.

     Lockheed Martin encounters extensive competition in all of its lines of
business with numerous other contractors on the basis of price, technical and
managerial capability.  The on-going consolidation of the United States defense
industry has intensified this competition as competitors are now generally
larger and more capable.  At the same time, the number of contracts awarded has
decreased.  In some instances, for example, the ongoing competition

                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>
 
for the Joint Strike Fighter and the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle, winning
the competition may be a significant determinant of whether the competitors are
able to remain in that line of business.  More generally, the aerospace and
defense business involves rapidly advancing technologies and is subject to many
uncertainties including, but not limited to, those resulting from changes in
federal budget priorities, particularly the size and scope of the defense
budget, and dependence on Congressional appropriations.  Substantial efforts are
undertaken continually on a long-term basis in order to maintain existing levels
of business.

     Approximately 70% of the 1996 sales of the Corporation were made to the
United States Government, either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor,
for which there is intense competition.  Accordingly, a significant portion of
the Corporation's sales are subject to inherent risks, including uncertainty of
economic conditions, changes in government policies and requirements that may
reflect rapidly changing military and political developments and the
availability of funds.  Other characteristics of the industry are complexity of
designs, the difficulty of forecasting costs and schedules when bidding on
developmental and highly sophisticated technical work and the rapidity with
which product lines become obsolete due to technological advances and other
factors characteristic of the industry.  Due to the intense competition for
available government business, the maintenance and/or expansion of government
business increasingly requires the Corporation to generate working capital and
invest in fixed assets.

                                     - 12 -
<PAGE>
 
     Certain risks inherent in the current defense and aerospace business
environment are discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" on page 51 through page 63 of the
Corporation's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders (the "1996 Annual Report").

     Earnings may vary materially depending upon the types of long-term
government contracts undertaken, the costs incurred in their performance, the
achievement of other performance objectives and the stage of performance at
which the right to receive fees, particularly under incentive and award fee
contracts, is finally determined.

     The Corporation's international business involves additional risks, such as
exposure to currency fluctuations, offset obligations and changes in foreign
economic and political environments.  In addition, international transactions
frequently involve increased financial and legal risks arising from stringent
contractual terms and conditions and widely differing legal systems, customs and
mores in foreign countries.  The Corporation expects that international sales as
a percentage of the overall sales of the Corporation will continue to increase
in future years as a result of, among other things, the continuing changes in
the United States defense industry.

     A portion of Lockheed Martin's business includes classified programs that
cannot be specifically discussed, the operating results of which are included in
the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.  The nature of and business
risks associated

                                     - 13 -
<PAGE>
 
with classified programs do not differ materially from those of the
Corporation's other government programs and products.

PATENTS

     The Corporation owns numerous patents and patent applications, some of
which, together with licenses under patents owned by others, are utilized in its
operations.  While such patents and licenses are, in the aggregate, important to
the operation of the Corporation's business, no existing patent, license or
other similar intellectual property right is of such importance that its loss or
termination would, in the opinion of management, materially affect the
Corporation's business.

RAW MATERIALS AND SEASONALITY

     The Corporation has not experienced significant difficulties in its ability
to obtain raw materials and other supplies needed in its manufacturing
processes, nor does the Corporation expect such difficulties to arise in the
future.  No material portion of the business of the Corporation is considered to
be seasonal.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS AND REGULATIONS

     All government contracts and, in general, subcontracts thereunder are
subject to termination in whole or in part at the convenience of the United
States Government as well as for default.  Long-term government contracts and
related orders are subject to cancellation if appropriations for subsequent
performance periods become unavailable.  Lockheed Martin generally would be
entitled to

                                     - 14 -
<PAGE>
 
receive payment for work completed and allowable termination or cancellation
costs if any of its government contracts were to be terminated for convenience.
Upon termination for convenience of cost-reimbursement-type contracts, the
contractor is normally entitled, to the extent of available funding, to
reimbursement of allowable costs plus a portion of the fee related to work
accomplished.  Upon termination for convenience of fixed-price-type contracts,
the contractor is normally entitled, to the extent of available funding, to
receive the purchase price for delivered items, reimbursement for allowable
costs for work in process, and an allowance for profit thereon or adjustment for
loss if completion of performance would have resulted in a loss.

     In addition to the right of the United States Government to terminate,
government contracts are conditioned upon the continuing availability of
Congressional appropriations.  Congress usually appropriates funds on a fiscal-
year basis even though contract performance may extend over many years.
Consequently, at the outset of a program, the contract is usually partially
funded, and additional funds are normally only appropriated to the contract by
Congress in future years.

BACKLOG

     Lockheed Martin's total negotiated backlog at December 31, 1996, was
approximately $50.4 billion compared with approximately $41.1  billion at the
end of 1995.  The total negotiated backlog of the Sectors at December 31, 1996
was as follows:  Space & Strategic Missiles $19.5 billion, Electronics $10.9
billion, Information &

                                     - 15 -
<PAGE>
 
Services, $6.4 billion and Aeronautics $13.4 billion. Unlike the other Sectors,
the Energy & Environment Sector is not a reportable business segment. The
reportable business segment of which Energy & Environment is part, Energy,
Materials and Other, had total negotiated backlog at December 31, 1996 of
approximately $167 million. Of this figure, almost all was attributable to the
Energy & Environment Sector. These figures are all approximate and include both
unfilled firm orders for the Corporation's products for which funding has been
both authorized and appropriated by the customer (Congress, in the case of
United States Government agencies) and firm orders for which funding has not
been appropriated.

     Backlog information and comparisons thereof as of different dates may not
be accurate indicators of future sales or the ratio of Lockheed Martin's future
sales to the United States Government versus its sales to other customers.

     Of the Corporation's total 1996 year-end backlog, approximately $32
billion, or 63%, is not expected to be filled within one year.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

     Lockheed Martin's operations are subject to and affected by a variety of
federal, state, and local environmental protection laws and regulations.  The
Corporation is involved in environmental responses at certain of its facilities
and at certain waste disposal sites not currently owned by the Corporation
(third-party sites) where the Corporation has been designated a "Potentially

                                     - 16 -
<PAGE>
 
Responsible Party" (PRP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or by
a state agency.  At such third-party sites, the EPA or a state agency has
identified the site as requiring removal or remedial action under the federal
"Superfund" and other related federal or state laws governing the remediation of
hazardous materials.  Generally, PRPs 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, in the costs and expenses for
investigation and remediation of the 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.

     At third-party sites, the Corporation continues to pursue a course of
action designed to minimize and mitigate its potential liability through
assessing the legal basis for its involvement, including an analysis of such
factors as (i) the amount and nature of materials disposed of by the
Corporation, (ii) the allocation process, if any, used to assign all costs to
all involved parties, and (iii) the scope of the response action that is or may
reasonably be required.  The Corporation also continues to pursue active
participation in steering committees, consent orders and other appropriate and
available avenues.  Management believes that

                                     - 17 -
<PAGE>
 
this approach should minimize the Corporation's proportionate share of liability
at third-party sites where other PRPs share liability.

     Although the Corporation's involvement and extent of responsibility varies
at each site, management, after an assessment of each site and consultation with
environmental experts and counsel, has concluded that the probability is remote
that the Corporation's actual or potential liability as a PRP in each or all of
these sites, in combination with the Corporation's actual or potential liability
for environmental responses at its own facilities, will have a material adverse
effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.  While the possibility of insurance coverage is considered in the
Corporation's efforts to minimize and mitigate its potential liability, this
possibility is not taken into account in management's assessment of whether it
is likely that its actual or potential liability will have a material adverse
effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial position.

     In addition, Lockheed Martin manages various government-owned facilities on
behalf of the government.  At such facilities, environmental compliance and
remediation costs have historically been the responsibility of the government
and the Corporation relied (and continues to rely with respect to past
practices) upon government funding to pay such costs.  While the government
remains responsible for capital costs associated with environmental compliance,
responsibility for fines and penalties associated with environmental
noncompliance, in certain instances, is being shifted from the government to the
contractor with such fines and penalties

                                     - 18 -
<PAGE>
 
no longer constituting allowable costs under the contracts pursuant to which
such facilities are managed.

     Management does not believe that adherence to presently applicable
environmental regulations at its own facilities or in its contract management
capacity at government-owned facilities will have a material adverse effect on
Lockheed Martin's consolidated financial position or results of operations.  For
additional details, see "Legal Proceedings" on page 25 through page 30.  See
also "Note 14 -- Commitments and Contingencies" of the "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements" on page 80 through page 81 and "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Environmental
Matters" on page 62 through page 63 of the 1996 Annual Report.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Lockheed Martin conducts significant research and development activities,
both under contract funding and with Independent Research and Development (IR&D)
funds. Lockheed Martin expended approximately $1,042 million in 1996, 
$778 million in 1995 and $813 million in 1994 using IR&D and bid and proposal
funds, a substantial portion of which was included in overhead allocable to
United States Government contracts.

     During fiscal year 1996, the Corporation did not undertake the development
of a new product or line of business requiring the investment of a material
amount of the Corporation's total assets.

     See "Research and Development and Similar Costs" in "Note 1--Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies" of the "Notes to

Consolidated Financial Statements" on page 71 of the 1996 Annual Report.

EMPLOYEES

     As of December 31, 1996, Lockheed Martin had approximately 190,000
employees, the majority of whom were located in the United States.  The
Corporation has a continuing need for many skilled and professional personnel in
order to meet contract schedules and obtain new and ongoing orders for its
products.  Approximately 33,300 of Lockheed Martin's employees are covered by
125 separate collective bargaining agreements with various international and
local unions.  Management considers employee relations generally to be good and
believes that the probability is remote that renegotiating these contracts will
have a material adverse effect on its business.

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES

     At December 31, 1996, including properties to be utilized by Newco, the
Corporation operated in approximately 460 offices, facilities, manufacturing
plants, warehouses, service centers, and laboratories throughout the United
States and internationally.  Of these, the Corporation owned floor space at
approximately 77 locations aggregating approximately 46.8 million square feet.
The Corporation leased space at approximately 383 of its locations aggregating
approximately 26.9 million square feet.  Additionally, the Corporation manages
and/or occupies various government-owned facilities at Marshall Space Flight

     A significant portion of the Corporation's activity is related to
engineering and research and development, which is not susceptible to productive
capacity analysis.  In the area of manufacturing, most of the operations are of
a job-order nature, rather than an assembly line process, and productive
equipment has multiple uses for multiple products.

     Management believes that all of the Corporation's major physical facilities
are in good condition and are adequate for their intended use.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Corporation is primarily engaged in providing products and services
under contracts with the United States Government and, to a lesser degree, under
direct foreign sales contracts, some of which are funded by the United States
Government.  All such contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory
requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the United States Government
investigate whether the Corporation's operations are being conducted in
accordance with these requirements.  Such investigations could result in
administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or
penalties being imposed upon the Corporation, or could lead to suspension or
debarment from future government contracting.  The Corporation is also a party
to or has its property subject to various other litigation and proceedings,
including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the
environment (collectively, "proceedings").

     On June 7, 1990, Boggs, et al. v. Divested Atomic Energy Corporation, et
al., was filed against various defendants including Martin Marietta Energy
Systems ("MMES").  Plaintiffs' request for class certification was granted and
the case is pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Ohio.  Plaintiffs seek $600 million based upon allegations that the
defendants discharged hazardous substances into the environment.  In the event
that any damages are awarded in these proceedings, such damages will be
allowable costs under contracts between MMES and the Department of Energy.

     The Corporation's property in Burbank, California (a former aircraft
manufacturing facility) is the subject of a 1991 consent decree with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") which obligates the Corporation to
design and construct facilities to monitor, extract and treat groundwater. As is
common practice, at the time the Consent Decree was lodged, the EPA filed a suit
with the United States District Court for the Central District of California in
order to provide that Court with jurisdiction over the Consent Decree. The
Corporation intends to file an Answer and Counterclaim in March, 1997 in the
EPA's suit asserting indemnity/contribution claims against the government based
upon the government's ownership and operation of the former aircraft
manufacturing facility. The same facility is subject to a cleanup and abatement
order from the California Regional Water Quality Board which requires site
assessment and action to abate groundwater contamination through a combination
of groundwater and soil cleanup and treatment. (See "Note 14 -Commitments and
Contingencies" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" on page 80
through page 81 of the 1996 Annual Report).  On August 1, 1996, the Corporation
consummated a settlement with a group of 1,350 residents living in the vicinity
of the facility. The settlement, valued at approximately $67 million, resolved,
without litigation, claims of personal injury and property damage asserted by
the residents and alleged to be related to environmental contamination stemming
from historical operations of the former facility. The Corporation settled the
matter for business reasons after a lengthy mediation, without any admission of
liability, notwithstanding its continuing position that the

                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>
 
facility does not and has not posed a risk to the community. As the result of
publicity surrounding the settlement, the Corporation has been named in two
purported federal class action suits and a series of state actions on behalf of
over 800 individual residents and former residents of Burbank alleging similar
claims of personal injury, property damage and fear of future illnesses. All of
these matters have been removed to federal court in Los Angeles and have been
proposed to be coordinated under the caption In re Burbank Environmental
Litigation. The Corporation believes that it has strong defenses to these claims
which it is preparing to assert. As with its remediation activities relating to
environmental matters, the Corporation has tendered these matters to its
insurance carriers who have provided a defense but are contesting coverage.

     Following the filing of the lawsuits against the Corporation in connection
with its former Burbank facilities (In re Burbank Environmental Litigation),
lawyers from Los Angeles have filed a similar action against the Company in
connection with the Corporation's former operations in Redlands, California
(Carrillo v. LMC).  More lawsuits are expected in the Redlands area, but the
Corporation believes the allegations of these actions to be without merit.

     As the result of the consummation of the Loral Transaction, subject to
certain limited exceptions, the Corporation became responsible for liabilities
arising out of legal and environmental proceedings pertaining to the Loral
Corporation businesses acquired by the Corporation.  On July 7, 1995, Loral
Corporation was served

                                     - 27 -
<PAGE>
 
with a subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of New York seeking documents relating to a number of programs
conducted at Loral Corporation's Defense Systems-East (Great Neck, New York)
operations.  These operations now form a part of the Corporation's Electronics
Sector.  The Corporation has been provided minimal information concerning the
focus of the investigation, but it appears to arise from anonymous complaints
provided to the United States Government by employees about testing and quality
control matters.  The Corporation is unaware of any such issues and is
cooperating in the government's continuing investigation of this matter.

     By letter dated September 21, 1995, the Corporation informed the Department
of Defense Inspector General's Office ("DoD IG") that the Corporation had become
aware of certain potential accounting issues which the Corporation was
investigating with respect to the LANTIRN program.  On February 12, 1996, the
Corporation was served with a DoD IG subpoena seeking documents related to the
price proposal submitted in connection with a LANTIRN program contract awarded
in 1994.  On July 16, 1996, two qui tam complaints against the Corporation were
unsealed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida
at Orlando.  The complaints allege various cost accounting issues on LANTIRN
program contracts and seek damages in the amount of $140 million.  The
government has not yet made a decision as to whether to intervene in the lawsuit
and its investigation is continuing.

     On January 23, 1996, a DoD IG subpoena was served on Lockheed Martin
Electronics & Missiles seeking documents relating to the

                                     - 28 -
<PAGE>
 
software development portion of the Paperless LANTIRN Automated Depot ("PLAD")
contract.  It is believed that the government is investigating allegations that
the Corporation's proposal for the PLAD contract was defectively priced.

     On January 23, 1996, Lockheed Martin Electronics & Missiles was served with
a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the Middle
District of Florida at Jacksonville seeking documents related to the manufacture
and testing of two circuit card assemblies used in the production of the
Hellfire I missile for the U.S. Army.  On July 24, 1996, a second grand jury
subpoena was served on the Corporation related to the same subject matter and
the government's investigation of this matter is continuing.

     On June 25, 1996, Lockheed Martin Engineering & Science Services was served
with a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Texas seeking documents related to two former employees of
a predecessor company, Lockheed Engineering & Sciences Company (LESC), and
apparently pertaining to an investigation of cost accounting issues in
connection with NASA service and support contracts.  On August 13, 1996, the
Corporation was advised that the government's investigation of this matter is
expected to continue.

     On November 27, 1996, Lockheed Martin Tactical Defense Systems - Great Neck
was served with a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of New York seeking documents related to tax and
financial reporting issues and

                                     - 29 -
<PAGE>
 
the outsourcing of quality tasks contained in various contract proposals.  The
Corporation expects this investigation to continue.

     On January 23, 1997, Lockheed Martin Electro-Optical Systems was served
with a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the
Central District of Los Angeles seeking documents relating to the accounting
treatment of contract payments received from the government.  The Corporation
expects this investigation to continue.

     On February 6, 1997, three former employees of the Corporation were served
with subpoenas ad testificandum issued by a federal grand jury in Jackson,
Tennessee.  The individuals were employees of the Corporation's Armament Systems
business which was sold to General Dynamics Corporation effective January 1,
1997.  Under the terms of the agreement with General Dynamics, the Corporation
retained responsibility for investigations of this type.  The Corporation
expects this investigation to continue.

     The Corporation is involved in various other legal and environmental
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, but in the opinion
of management and counsel the probability is remote that the outcome of any such
litigation or proceedings, whether specifically described above or referred to
generally in this paragraph, will have a material adverse effect on the results
of the Corporation's operations or its financial position.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     The Corporation is negotiating a Transaction Agreement pursuant to which
the Corporation anticipates repositioning certain non-core business units as a
new independent company. The transaction contemplates the creation of a new
company ("Newco") which will be 50.1% owned by Lehman Brothers Capital Partners
III, L.P. or its affiliates, 34.9% by the Corporation, and 15% by a management
team lead by Frank C. Lanza who, in addition to his services as a director of
the Corporation, serves as one of its executive vice presidents. The Transaction
Agreement is being negotiated on an arms-length basis. It is contemplated that
Newco will pay the Corporation a total purchase price for the businesses
(subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as will be provided in the
Transaction Agreement) of $525 million, consisting of 6,980,000 shares of Newco
Class A Common Stock and $479.835 million in cash. Mr. Lanza will be issued
1,500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, or 7.5% of the equity securities of
Newco, in return for cash consideration of $7.5 million. A second individual
constituting a member of the proposed management team will also be issued
1,500,000 shares of Newco Class B Common stock in return for cash consideration
of $7.5 million. The proposed transaction is subject to a number of conditions,
including execution of a definitive agreement and regulatory approvals.

     The Corporation has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Lanza. 
Under the agreement, during the three-year term of employment beginning on May 
1, 1996, Mr. Lanza may, for good cause, give notice that he elects to terminate 
employment under the agreement. Upon receipt of such notice, or upon termination
by the Corporation for other than substantial and serious cause, the agreement 
requires Lockheed Martin to pay Mr. Lanza a lump sum payment equal to the base 
salary and annual bonus that would have been paid during the remaining portion 
of the three-year term of the agreement had he continued to be employed through 
the full term. As of the date of the mailing of this Proxy Statement, the 
Corporation is negotiating with Mr. Lanza as to the effect of the proposed 
transaction under Mr. Lanza's employment agreement if that transaction closes.

                                       OF

                           LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION


(Incorporated under the laws of Maryland, August 26, 1994, and herein referred
to as the "Corporation")


                                   ARTICLE I

                                 STOCKHOLDERS

     Section 1.01. ANNUAL MEETINGS. The Corporation shall hold an annual meeting
of stockholders for the election of directors and the transaction of any
business within the powers of the Corporation on such date during the month of
April in each year as shall be determined by the Board of Directors, except that
the 1995 annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on February 6, 1995.
Subject to Article I, Section 1.11 of these Bylaws, any business of the
Corporation may be transacted at such annual meeting. Failure to hold an annual
meeting at the designated time shall not, however, invalidate the corporate
existence or affect otherwise valid corporate acts.

     Section 1.02. SPECIAL MEETINGS. At any time in the interval between annual
meetings, special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the Chairman of
the Board, President, or by the Board of Directors or by the Executive Committee
by vote at a meeting or in writing with or without a meeting. Special meetings
of stockholders shall also be called by the Secretary of the Corporation on the
written request of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the
votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.

     Section 1.03. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All meetings of stockholders shall be held
at such place within the United States as may be designated in the notice of
meeting.

     Section 1.04. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Not less than thirty (30) days nor more
than ninety (90) days before the date of every stockholders' meeting, the
Secretary shall give to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and
each other stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting, written or printed
notice stating the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special
meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, either by mail
or by presenting it to him or her personally or by leaving it at his or her
residence or usual place of business. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to
be given when deposited in the United States 
<PAGE>
 
mail addressed to the stockholder at his or her post office address as it
appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provision for notice, a waiver of notice in
writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice and filed with
the records of the meeting, whether before or after the holding thereof, or
actual attendance at the meeting in person or by proxy, shall be deemed
equivalent to the giving of such notice to such persons. Any meeting of
stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time without further
notice to a date not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the original
record date at the same or some other place.

     Section 1.05. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. Each meeting of stockholders shall be
conducted in accordance with such rules and procedures as the Board of Directors
may determine subject to the requirements of applicable law and the Charter. The
Chairman of the Board, or in his or her absence the President, or in their
absence the person designated in writing by the Chairman of the Board, or if no
person is so designated, then a person designated by the Board of Directors,
shall preside as chairman of the meeting; if no person is so designated, then
the meeting shall choose a chairman by a majority of all votes cast at a meeting
at which a quorum is present. The Secretary or in the absence of the Secretary a
person designated by the chairman of the meeting shall act as secretary of the
meeting.

     Section 1.06. QUORUM. At any meeting of stockholders, the presence in
person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes
thereat shall constitute a quorum; but this section shall not affect any
requirement under statute or under the Charter of the Corporation for the vote
necessary for the adoption of any measure. In the absence of a quorum, the
stockholders present in person or by proxy, by majority vote and without further
notice, may adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120
days after the original record date until a quorum shall attend. At any such
adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
notified.

     Section 1.07. VOTES REQUIRED. Unless applicable law or the Charter of the
Corporation provides otherwise, at a meeting of stockholders, the vote of a
majority of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting, duly called and at which
a quorum is present, shall be required to take or authorize action upon any
matter which may properly come before the meeting. Unless the Charter provides
for a greater or lesser number of votes per share or limits or denies voting
rights, each outstanding share of stock, regardless of class, shall be entitled
to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders; but
no share shall be entitled to any vote if any installment payable thereon is
overdue and unpaid.

     Section 1.08. PROXIES. A stockholder may vote the shares owned of record by
him or her either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder
or by his or her duly 

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
authorized attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months
from its date, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be in
writing, subscribed by the stockholder or his or her duly authorized attorney,
and dated, but need not be sealed, witnessed or acknowledged.

     Section 1.09. LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS. At each meeting of stockholders, a true
and complete list of all stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, stating
the number and class of shares held by each, shall be furnished by the
Secretary.

     Section 1.10. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION. In advance of any meeting of
stockholders, the Board of Directors may appoint Inspectors of Election to act
at such meeting or at any adjournment or adjournments thereof. If such
Inspectors are not so appointed or fail or refuse to act, the chairman of any
such meeting, upon the demand of stockholders present in person or by proxy
entitled to cast 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting, shall
make such appointments.

     If there are three (3) or more Inspectors of Election, the decision, act or
certificate of a majority shall be effective in all respects as the decision,
act or certificate of all. The Inspectors of Election shall determine the number
of shares outstanding, the voting power of each, the shares represented at the
meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity and effect of
proxies; shall receive votes, ballots, assents or consents, hear and determine
all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the vote,
count and tabulate all votes, assents and consents, and determine the result;
and do such acts as may be proper to conduct the election and the vote with
fairness to all stockholders. On request, the Inspectors shall make a report in
writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by them, and shall make
and execute a certificate of any fact found by them.

     No such Inspector need be a stockholder of the Corporation.

     Section 1.11.  DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS.

     (a) Nominations and Stockholder Business at Annual Meetings of
         ----------------------------------------------------------
Stockholders. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of
- ------------
the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the

of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 1.11(a),
who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice
procedures set forth in this Section 1.11(a).

     For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting by 

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of paragraph (a) of this Section 1.11,
the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the
Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be
delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the first
anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in
the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than thirty
(30) days or delayed by more than sixty (60) days from such anniversary date,
notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the
90th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business
on the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day
following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is
first made. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (i) as to each person whom
the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director,
(A) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person, (B)
the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are
beneficially owned by such person, and (C) all other information relating to
such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for
election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to
Regulation 14A (or any successor provision) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (including such person's written consent
to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director
if elected); (ii) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to
bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be
brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the
meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the
beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (iii) as to
the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the nomination or proposal is made, the name and address of such
stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation's books, and of such beneficial
owner and the class and number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are
owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.

     Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (a) of this Section 1.11 to the
contrary, in the event that Section 2.02 of these Bylaws is amended, altered or
repealed so as to increase or decrease the maximum or minimum number of
directors and there is no public announcement of such action at least seventy
(70) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting,
a stockholder's notice required by this Section 1.11(a) shall also be considered
timely, but only with respect to nominees for director, if it shall be delivered
to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later
than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such
public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

     (b) Director Nominations and Stockholder Business at Special Meetings
         -----------------------------------------------------------------
of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of
- ---------------
stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the
Corporation's notice of meeting. 

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a
special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to
the Corporation's notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or (ii) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that
directors shall be elected at such special meeting, by any stockholder of the
Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice
provided for in this Section 1.11, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and
who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.11. In the
event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of
electing one or more directors to the Board, any such stockholder may nominate a
person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as
specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting, if the stockholder's notice
required by paragraph (a) of this Section 1.11 shall be delivered to the
Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than
the 90th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of
business on the later of the 60th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th
day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of
the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be
elected at such meeting.

     (c) General. Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the
         -------
procedures set forth in this Section 1.11 shall be eligible to serve as
directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders
as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures
set forth in this Section 1.11. The presiding officer of the meeting shall have
the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to
be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Section 1.11 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in
compliance with this Section 1.11, to declare that such defective nomination or
proposal be disregarded.

     For purposes of this Section 1.11, "public announcement" shall mean
disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones New Service, Associated
Press or comparable news service or in a document publicly filed by the
Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13,
14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11, a
stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of state law and
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the
matters set forth in this Section 1.11. Nothing in this Section 1.11 shall be
deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in
the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor
provision) under the Exchange Act.

the Charter or the Bylaws conferred upon or reserved to the stockholders.

Corporation shall be not less than four (4) nor more than twenty-five (25). By
vote of a majority of the Board of Directors, the number of directors may be

number of directors so made by the Board.

     Section 2.03. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. Except as set forth in the Charter of
the Corporation, the members of the Board of Directors shall be elected each
year at the annual meeting of stockholders, and each director shall hold office

expires after the first annual meeting of stockholders after he or she reaches
the age of 70 years.

     Section 2.04. CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD. The Board of Directors shall designate
from its membership a Chairman of the Board, who shall preside at all meetings
of the stockholders and of the Board of Directors. He may sign with the

Directors.

     Section 2.05. VICE CHAIRMAN. The Board of Directors shall designate from
its membership no more than two Vice Chairmen of the Board, who shall perform
such functions and duties as requested by the Chairman of the Board.

     Section 2.06. REMOVAL. Any director or the Board of Directors may be
removed from office as a director at any time, but only for cause, by the
affirmative vote at a duly called meeting of stockholders of at least 80% of the

Corporation would be entitled to cast at an annual election of directors, voting
together as a single class.

     Section 2.07. VACANCIES. Vacancies in the Board of Directors, except for
vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, shall be filled
only by a majority vote of

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
the remaining directors then in office, though less than a quorum, except that
vacancies resulting from removal from office by a vote of the stockholders may
be filled by the stockholders at the same meeting at which such removal occurs.
Vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall be filled
only by a majority vote of the Board of Directors. Any director elected to fill
a vacancy shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and
until his or her successor will have been elected and qualified.

     Section 2.08. REGULAR MEETINGS. After each meeting of stockholders at which
a Board of Directors, or any class thereof, shall have been elected, the Board
of Directors shall meet as soon as practicable for the purpose of organization
and the transaction of other business, at such time and place within or without
the State of Maryland as may be designated by the Board of Directors. Other
regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held on such dates and at
such places within or without the State of Maryland as may be designated from
time to time by the Board of Directors.

     Section 2.09. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Board of Directors
may be called at any time, at any place, and for any purpose by the Chairman of
the Board, the President, the Chairman of the Executive Committee, any three (3)
directors, or by any officer of the Corporation upon the request of a majority
of the Board.

     Section 2.10. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Notice of the place, day, and hour of
every regular and special meeting of the Board of Directors shall be given to
each director twenty-four (24) hours (or more) before the meeting, by
telephoning the notice to such director, or by delivering the notice to him or
her personally, or by sending the notice to him or her by telegraph, or by
facsimile, or by leaving the notice at his or her residence or usual place of
business, or, in the alternative, by mailing such notice three (3) days (or
more) before the meeting, postage prepaid, and addressed to him or her at his or
her last known post office address, according to the records of the Corporation.
If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United
States mail, properly addressed, with postage thereon prepaid. If notice be
given by telegram or by facsimile, such notice shall be deemed to be given when
the telegram is delivered to the telegraph company or when the facsimile is
transmitted. If the notice be given by telephone or by personal delivery, such
notice shall be deemed to be given at the time of the communication or delivery.
Unless required by these Bylaws or by resolution of the Board of Directors, no
notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors need state the business to be
transacted thereat. No notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors need be
given to any director who attends or to any director who, in a writing executed
and filed with the records of the meeting either before or after the holding
thereof, waives such notice. Any meeting of the Board of Directors, regular or
special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other
place, and no further notice need be given of any such adjourned meeting.

                                      -7-

     Section 2.11. PRESENCE AT MEETING. Members of the Board, or of any
committee thereof, may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone

in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation in this
manner shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

     Section 2.12. PRESIDING OFFICER AND SECRETARY AT MEETINGS. Each meeting of
the Board of Directors shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board of
Directors or in his or her absence by the President or if neither is present by
such member of the Board of Directors as shall be chosen by the meeting. The
Secretary, or in his or her absence an Assistant Secretary, shall act as
secretary of the meeting, or if no such officer is present, a secretary of the
meeting shall be designated by the person presiding over the meeting.

     Section 2.13. QUORUM. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority
of the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business. Except in cases in which it is by statute, by the Charter, or by the
Bylaws otherwise provided, the vote of a majority of such quorum at a duly
constituted meeting shall be sufficient to pass any measure. In the absence of a
quorum, the directors present by majority vote and without notice other than by
announcement may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be
present. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as
originally notified.

     Section 2.14. COMPENSATION. Directors shall not receive any stated salary

          dishonesty; or

              (ii) The individual actually received an improper personal benefit
          in money, property, or services; or

             (iii) In the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had
          reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

          Section 6.03. ADVANCE PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. The Corporation shall pay
or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of a final disposition of the
proceeding and without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate
entitlement to indemnification provided that the individual first provides the

belief that the individual meets the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification under the laws of the State of Maryland; and (b) a written
undertaking by or on behalf of the individual to repay the amount advanced if it
shall ultimately be determined that the applicable standard of conduct has not
been met.

          The rights conferred on any person by this Article VI shall not be
exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire
under any statute, provision of the Charter of the Corporation, these Bylaws,
agreement, vote of the stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

          Repeal or modification of this Article VI or the relevant law shall
not affect adversely any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any
facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore
or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such
facts.

Directors or Chairman, however, may by resolution or delegation appoint some
other person or persons to vote such shares, in which case such person or
persons shall be entitled to vote such shares upon the production of a certified
copy of such resolution or delegation.

          Section 7.03. AMENDMENTS. The Board of Directors shall have the
exclusive power, at any regular or special meeting thereof, to make and adopt

                                DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS

          4.1.   Stock Unit Account.

          The Stock Unit Account of each Director shall be credited on each
Award Date with a number of Units determined by dividing $10,000 by the Average
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Award Date, provided that the Board
of Directors previously approved the Award. A Director who is not serving as a
director on an Award Date is not eligible for any portion of the Award for the
applicable year.

          4.2.   Dividend Equivalents; Dividend Equivalent Stock Account.

          (a)    Allocation of Dividend Equivalents. Each Director shall be
entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents on the Units credited to his or her
Stock Unit Account and Dividend Equivalent Account, whether before or after a
termination of service, which Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to the
Director's Dividend Equivalent Stock Account in accordance with Section 4.2(b)
below.

          (b)    Dividend Equivalent Stock Account. The Director's Dividend
Equivalent Stock Account shall be credited with an additional number of Units
determined by dividing the amount of Dividend Equivalents by the Fair Market
Value of a share of Common Stock as of each dividend payment date. The Units
credited to a Director's Dividend Equivalent Stock Account shall be allocated
(for purposes of distribution) in accordance with Section 4.4(b) and shall be
subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 4.5.

          4.3.   Vesting of Stock Unit Account and Dividend Equivalent Stock
Account.

          The rights of each Director in respect of his or her Stock Unit
Account and related Dividend Equivalent Stock Account shall vest immediately on
crediting.

          4.4.   Distribution of Benefits.

          (a)    Commencement of Benefits Distribution. Subject to the terms of
this Section 4.4, each Director shall be entitled to receive a distribution of
his or her Accounts upon a termination of service (including but not limited to
a retirement or resignation) as a Director of the Corporation. Benefits shall be
distributed at the time or times set forth in Section 4.4.

          (b)    Manner of Distribution. The benefits payable under this Plan
shall be distributed to the Director (or, in the event of his or her death, the
Director's Beneficiary) in a lump sum, unless the Director elects in writing (on
forms provided by the Corporation) by the time specified in Section 4.4(f), to
receive a distribution of his or her benefits in respect of such Units in
approximately equal annual installments (before giving effect to post-
termination crediting of additional Dividend Equivalents before the applicable
payment date) for up to five years thereafter. Elections with respect to any
Units in the Stock Unit Account shall apply to all Dividend Equivalent Units
attributable to those Stock Units, and to all Dividend Equivalent Units
attributable to those Dividend Equivalent Units. Subject to Section 4.4(f),
installment payments shall commence as of the date benefits become distributable
under Section 4.4(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the vested balance
remaining in a Director's Stock Unit Account and Dividend Equivalent Stock
Account is less than 50 shares, then the remaining balance shall be distributed
in shares in a lump sum.

          (c)    Effect of Death or Disability. Notwithstanding Sections 4.4(a)
and (b), if a Director's service as a director terminates by reason of
Disability, or a Director or former Director dies, the

distribution of a Director's Accounts (including remaining Account balances of a
former Director) shall be made immediately in a lump sum.

          (d)    Form of Distribution. Stock Units credited to a Director's
Stock Unit Account and Dividend Equivalent Stock Account shall be paid and
distributed by means of a distribution of an equivalent whole number of shares
of the Common Stock. Fractions shall be accumulated and converted to Units, but
any fractional interest in a Unit shall be paid in cash on final distribution.
In the event of a termination of service or retirement, a Director may elect, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.4(f), to have Stock Units credited
to the Director's Stock Unit Account and Dividend Share Equivalent Account paid
and distributed in the form of cash or a combination of whole shares of Common
Stock and cash. Any such election shall be made at times and in the manner
specified in Section 4.4(f).

          (e)    Sub-Accounts. The Administrator shall retain sub-accounts of a
Director's Accounts as may be necessary to determine which Units are subject to
any distribution elections under Section 4.4(b).

          (f)    Timing of Elections. A Director may elect an installment
distribution as provided in Section 4.4(b) only with respect to Units credited
on a June 1 which is at least 12 months following his or her election.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Director's election to receive an
installment distribution may be made with respect to Units credited during the
Director's first year of service on the Board, within 30 days after the Director
commenced service as a Director (but in any event prior to the date on which the
Units are credited). In addition, in the event of a termination of service or
retirement, at least six months prior to receipt by a Director of any
distribution of benefits under the Plan, the Director shall make a written
election (on forms to be provided by the Corporation) as to the percentage the
Director elects to receive in the form of cash and the percentage the Director
elects to receive in the form of whole shares of Common Stock.

          4.5.   Adjustments in Case of Changes in Common Stock. If there shall
occur any recapitalization, stock split (including a stock split in the form of
a stock dividend), reverse stock split, merger, combination, consolidation, or
other reorganization or any extraordinary non-cash dividend or other
extraordinary distribution in respect of the Stock (whether in the form of
Stock, other securities, or other property), or any split-up, spin-off,
extraordinary redemption, or exchange of outstanding Stock, or there shall occur
any other similar corporate transaction or event in respect of the Stock, or a
sale of substantially all the assets of the Corporation as an entirety,
proportionate and equitable adjustments consistent with the effect of such event
on stockholders generally (but without duplication of benefits if Dividend
Equivalents are credited) shall be made in the number and type of shares of
Common Stock (or other cash, property or securities in respect thereof)
reserved, and of Units, under this Plan.

          4.6.   Corporation's Right to Withhold. The Corporation shall satisfy
state or federal income tax withholding obligations, if any, arising upon
distribution of a Director's accounts by reducing the number of shares of Common
Stock otherwise deliverable to the Director by the appropriate number of shares
(based on the Average Fair Market Value) required to satisfy such tax
withholding obligation. If the Corporation, for any reason, cannot satisfy the
withholding obligation in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Director
shall pay or provide for payment in cash of the amount of any taxes which the
Corporation may be required to withhold with respect to the benefits hereunder.

          4.7.   Limitations on Rights Associated with Units. A Director's
Accounts shall be memorandum accounts on the books of the Corporation. The Units
credited to a Director's Accounts shall be used solely as a device for the
determination of the number of shares of Common Stock to be eventually
distributed to such Director in accordance with this Plan. The Units shall not
be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind, although the Corporation
shall reserve shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligations under this Plan.
All shares of Common Stock or other amounts attributed to the Units shall be and
remain the sole property of the Corporation, and each Director's rights in the
Units is limited to the right to receive shares of Common Stock in the future as
herein provided. No Director shall be entitled to

any voting or other stockholder rights with respect to Units granted under this
Plan. The number of Units credited under this Section shall be subject to
adjustment in accordance with Section 4.5.

          4.8.   Restrictions on Resale. Stock distributed in respect of those
Stock Units that were first credited under Section 4.1 within six months of the
distribution (and Dividend Equivalent Account Units credited under Section 4.2
solely in respect thereof) may be legended or otherwise restricted so as to
prevent a sale of the Stock within six months of the initial crediting of those
Stock Units. Installments shall be deemed payable and paid in the order (i.e.,
last-in, last-out) of the accrual of the underlying Units.

                                   ARTICLE V

16b-3 ("Rule 16b-3") promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to
Section 6.1 hereof, the Board shall have no discretionary authority with respect
to the amount or price of any Award granted under this Plan and no director
shall participate in any decision relating solely to his or her benefits (other
than approval of the Award). Subject to the foregoing, the Board may resolve any
questions and make all other determinations and adjustments required by this
Plan, maintain all the necessary records for the administration of this Plan,
and provide forms and procedures to facilitate the implementation of this Plan.

          5.2.   Decisions Final; Delegation; Reliance; and Limitation on
Liability. Any determination of the Board or committee made in good faith shall
be conclusive. In performing its duties, the Board or the committee shall be
entitled to rely on public records and on information, opinions, reports or
statements prepared or presented by officers or employees of the Corporation or
other experts believed to be reliable and competent. The Board or the committee
may delegate ministerial, bookkeeping and other non-discretionary functions to
individuals who are officers or employees of the Corporation.

          Neither the Corporation nor any member of the Board, nor any other
person participating in any determination of any question under this Plan, or in
the interpretation, administration or application of this Plan, shall have any
liability to any party for any action taken or not taken in good faith under
this Plan or for the failure of an Award (or action or payment in respect of an
Award) to satisfy Code requirements for realization of intended tax
consequences, to qualify for exemption or relief under Rule 16b-3, or to comply
with any other law, compliance with which is not required on the part of the
Corporation.

                                  ARTICLE VI

or terminate this Plan; provided, however, that no amendment or termination

Stock Account.

          7.1.   Limitation on Directors' Rights. Participation in this Plan
shall not give any Director the right to continue to serve as a member of the
Board or any rights or interests other than as herein provided. No Director
shall have any right to any payment or benefit hereunder except to the extent
provided in this Plan. This Plan shall create only a contractual obligation on
the part of the Corporation as to such amounts and shall not be construed as
creating a trust. This Plan, in and of itself, has no assets. Directors shall
have only the rights of general unsecured creditors of the Corporation with
respect to amounts credited or vested and benefits payable, if any, on their
Accounts.

          7.2.   Beneficiaries.

          (a)    Beneficiary Designation. Upon forms provided and in accordance

payable under this Plan after his or her death, subject to applicable laws
(including any applicable community property and probate laws).

          (b)    Definition of Beneficiary. A Director's "Beneficiary" or
"Beneficiaries" shall be the person or persons, including a trust or trusts,
validly designated by the Director or, in the absence of a valid designation,
entitled by will or the laws of descent and distribution to receive the
Director's benefits under this Plan in the event of the Director's death.

          7.3.   Benefits Not Assignable; Obligations Binding Upon Successors.
Benefits of a Director under this Plan shall not be assignable or transferable
and any purported transfer, assignment, pledge or other encumbrance or
attachment of any payments or benefits under this Plan, or any interest therein,
other than pursuant to Section 7.2, shall not be permitted or recognized.
Obligations of the Corporation under this Plan shall be binding upon successors
of the Corporation.

          7.4.   Governing Law; Severability. The validity of this Plan or any
of its provisions shall be construed, administered and governed in all respects
under and by the laws of the State of Maryland. If any provisions of this
instrument shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully
effective.

          7.5.   Compliance With Laws. This Plan and the offer, issuance and
delivery of shares of Common Stock and/or the payment and deferral of
compensation under this Plan are subject to compliance with all applicable
federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to

securities shall, if requested by the Corporation, provide such assurances and
representations to the Corporation as the Corporation may deem necessary or
desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.

          7.6.   Plan Construction. It is the intent of the Corporation that
this Plan satisfy and be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the applicable
requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that Directors will be entitled to the benefits of

will not be subjected to avoidable liability thereunder. Any contrary
interpretation shall be avoided.

Plan are inserted for reference only and are not to be considered in the

                                  ARTICLE III

                                 PARTICIPATION

     3.1  Timing of Deferral Elections.  In order to defer Director's fees
earned in any calendar year, a Director must make a deferral election by
executing and filing an Election Form before the commencement of that calendar
year or, in the case of a new Director, before the commencement of the
Director's term of office in that calendar year.  The deferral election shall
specify the manner in which earnings (or losses) on the deferred amount shall
accrue in accordance with Section 4.2 below.  To the extent that a Director
elects that any portion of a deferred amount shall accrue earnings based on the
Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option, such an election shall be given
effect only if (i) the election is irrevocably made at least six (6) months
prior to the effective date of the allocation or (ii) the crediting of the
deferred amount to the Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option has been
approved by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof that is comprised of
persons specified in Section 6.1).  To the extent that a Director makes an
election to have Deferred Compensation credited to the Lockheed Martin Common
Stock Investment Option which is not in compliance with (i) or (ii) above, the
amount elected to be deferred into the Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment
Option shall initially be allocated to the Interest Option until such time as
the allocation to the Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option would be in
compliance with (i) or (ii) above, at which time the deferred amount shall
automatically be reallocated.

     3.2  Terms of Deferral Elections.  A Director's deferral election for a
calendar year shall specify the percentage (which may equal 100%) of the
Director's Fees to be earned by the Director for that year which are to be
deferred under this Plan.  A Director's deferral election shall remain in effect
for each subsequent calendar year, unless the Director duly files a revised
Election Form or written revocation of the election before the beginning of the
subsequent calendar year.  A Director's deferral election shall be irrevocable
during any calendar year in which it is in effect.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                             CREDITING OF ACCOUNTS

     4.1  Crediting of Director's Fees.  Director's Fees that a Director has
elected to defer shall be credited to the Director's Account as of the first day
of the month in which the Director's Fees would have been payable to the
Director if no deferral election had been made under this Plan.  The elected
deferral percentage shall apply to all Director's Fees earned by the Director
during a calendar year.

     4.2  Crediting of Investment Earnings.  Subject to the provisions of
Section 3.1 above, as of the last day of each month, a Director's Account shall
be credited to reflect investment earnings (or loss) for the month, based on the
Director's investment selections under this Section 4.2.  A Director may elect
to have his or her Account credited with investment earnings (or losses) for
each month as if the Director's Account balance had been invested in the
following:

     (a)  Interest Option. Interest at a rate equal to one twelfth (1/12) of the
annual prime rate as set by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, on the last day
of the preceding month.,

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     (b)  S&P 500 Option.  A return (or loss) equal to that of the published
index for the Standard & Poors 500 (with dividends) for the month will accrue.

     (c)  Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option.  Earnings (or losses)
shall be credited as if such amount had been invested in Lockheed Martin Common
Stock at the published closing price of the Corporation's Common Stock on the
New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day preceding the day as to which
such amount is deferred (or reallocated) into the Lockheed Martin Common Stock
Investment Option; this portion of a Director's Account shall reflect any
subsequent appreciation or depreciation in the market value of Lockheed Martin
Common Stock based on the published closing price of the stock on the New York
Stock Exchange on the last trading day of each month and shall reflect dividends
on the stock as if such dividends were reinvested in shares of Lockheed Martin
Common Stock.

     (d)  A combination of (a), (b) and (c).

A Director's initial investment selections must be made by the date that the
Director's initial deferral election takes effect.  A Director may change his or
her investment selections with respect to all amounts credited to the Director's
Account, including amounts deferred in prior periods, provided that any such
change that would result in an increase or decrease in the portion of the
Director's Account allocated to the Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment
Option shall only be effective if it is made pursuant to an irrevocable written
election made at least six months following the date of the Director's most
recent "opposite way" election with respect to either the Plan or any other plan
maintained by Lockheed Martin that provides for Discretionary Transactions (as
defined in Rule 16b-3).  Subject to the foregoing, a change of investment
selections must be made by filing a revised Election Form in advance of the
month in which the change is to take effect.

     4.3  Account Balance as Measure of Deferred Compensation.  The Deferred
Compensation payable to a Director (or the Director's Beneficiary) shall be
measured by, and shall in no event exceed, the sum of the amounts credited to
the Director's Account.

                                   ARTICLE V

                        PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION

     5.1  Manner of Distribution.

     (a)  Lump sum payments.  Subject to the provisions of Section 5.6, a
Director's Deferred Compensation shall be paid as a lump sum cash payment equal
to the balance credited to the Director's Account on the December 31 that is
coincident with or next follows the date of the termination of the Director's
status as a Director, unless the Director has elected to receive installment
payments in accordance with Section 5.1(b).

     (b)  Installment payments.  A Director may elect to have the Director's
Deferred Compensation distributed in annual installments over a maximum period
of ten (10) years.  The amount of each annual installment shall be determined by
dividing the Director's Account balance (or the portion of the Account balance
to which the installment election applies) on the December 31 preceding the
payment date by the number of years remaining in the elected installment period.
A Director's election to receive installment payments with respect to Director's
fees deferred in any calendar year must be made on an Election Form duly filed
no later than the latest date on which a deferral election may be made for that
calendar year under Section 4.1.  A Director's installment election shall remain
in effect with respect to Director's fees deferred in each subsequent calendar
year, unless the Director duly files a revised Election Form before the
beginning of the subsequent calendar year.  An installment election shall be
irrevocable with respect to Director's fees deferred (and allocable investment
earnings) in any calendar year for which the installment election is in effect.

<PAGE>
 
     (c)  Deferral For Directors Fees Earned in 1996.  A Director may elect to
have the Director's Deferred Compensation earned during the 1996 calendar year
credited and paid as a lump sum under (a) or annual installments under (b)
except that payment (or installments, as the case may be) will be made (or
commence) on January 1, 1998, or as soon as practicable thereafter regardless of
whether the Director has terminated service as a Director.

     5.2  Commencement of Payments.  Subject to the provisions of Section 5.6
and except as provided in Sections 5.1(c) and 5.4, the payment of Deferred
Compensation to a Director shall be made or commence in January of the first
calendar year following the year in which the Director ceases to be a Director,
whether due to resignation, retirement, disability, death, or otherwise.
Installment payments shall continue to be made in January of each succeeding
year until all installments have been paid.

     5.3  Death Benefits.  Subject to the provisions of Section 5.6, in the
event that a Director dies before payment of the Director's Deferred
Compensation has commenced or been completed, the balance of the Director's
Account shall be distributed to the Director's Beneficiary commencing in the
January following the date of the Director's death in accordance with the manner
of distribution (lump sum or annual installments) elected by the Director for
payments during the Director's lifetime.  However, upon good cause shown by a
Beneficiary or personal representative of the Director, the Committee, in its
sole discretion, may reject a Director's installment election and instead cause
the Director's death benefits to be paid in a lump sum.

     5.4  Emergency Withdrawals.  In the event of an unforeseeable emergency
prior to the commencement of distributions or after the commencement of
installment payments, the Committee may approve a distribution to a Director (or
Beneficiary after the death of a Director) of the part of the Director's Account
balance that is reasonably needed to satisfy the emergency need.  An Emergency
withdrawal will be approved only in a circumstance of severe financial hardship
to the Director (or Beneficiary after the death of the Director) resulting from
a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Director (or Beneficiary, as
applicable) or of a dependent of the Director (or Beneficiary, as applicable),
loss of property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary or
unforeseeable circumstance arising from events beyond the control of the
Director (or Beneficiary, as applicable).  The investment earnings credited to
the Director's Account shall be determined as if the withdrawal had been debited
from the Director's Account on the first day of the month in which the
withdrawal occurs.

     5.5  Status of Certain Directors.  For purposes of Section 5.2, a retired
Director who continues to advise the Board of Directors under an Advisory
Services Agreement shall be treated as an active Director for the period that he
or she continues to serve under such agreement, if the Director so elects on or
before April 25, 1996.  An election under this Section 5.5 shall not otherwise
alter the Director's rights under this plan.  Once made, an election under this
Section 5.5 shall be irrevocable.

     5.6  Corporation's Right to Withhold.  There shall be deducted from all
payments under this Plan the amount of taxes, if any, required to be withheld
under applicable federal or state tax laws.  The Directors and their
Beneficiaries will be liable for payment of any and all income or other taxes
imposed on Deferred Compensation payable under this Plan.

     5.7  Section 16 Limitations on Distributions.  Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, no distribution of any portion of a Director's
Account credited to the Lockheed Martin Common Stock Investment Option shall be
made unless (I) the Board of Directors or Committee has approved the
distribution or (ii) at least six months have passed from the date the
Director's service on the Board has terminated.

                   ADMINISTRATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

     6.1   Administration by Committee.  This Plan shall be administered by a
Committee consisting of exclusively "non-employee directors" as that term is
defined in Rule 16b-3 ("Rule 16b-3") promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"). The Committee shall act by vote of a majority or by unanimous
written consent of its members.  The Committee's resolution of any question
regarding the interpretation of this Plan shall be subject to review by the
Board, and the Board's determination shall be final and binding on all parties.

     6.2  Amendment and Termination.  This Plan may be amended, modified, or
terminated by the Board at any time, except that no such action shall (without
the consent of affected Directors or, if appropriate, their Beneficiaries or
personal representatives) adversely affect the rights of Directors or
Beneficiaries with respect to compensation earned and deferred under this Plan
prior to the date of such amendment, modification, or termination.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

     7.1  Limitation on Directors' Rights.  Participation in this Plan shall not
give any Director the right to continue to serve as a member of the Board or any
rights or interests other than as herein provided.  No Director shall have any
right to any payment or benefit hereunder except to the extent provided in this
Plan.  This Plan shall create only a contractual obligation on the part of the
Corporation as to such amounts and shall not be construed as creating a trust.
The Plan, in and of itself, has no assets.  Directors shall have only the rights
of general unsecured creditors of the Corporation with respect to amounts
credited to or payable from their Accounts.

     7.2  Beneficiaries.

     (a) Beneficiary Designation.  Subject to applicable laws (including any
applicable community property and probate laws), each Director may designate in
writing the Beneficiary that the Director chooses to receive any payments that
become payable after the Director's death, as provided in Section 5.3.  A
Director's Beneficiary designation shall be made on forms provided and in
accordance with procedures established by the Corporation and may be changed by
the Director at any time before the Director's death.

     (b) Definition of Beneficiary.  A Director's "Beneficiary" or
"Beneficiaries" shall be the person or persons, including a trust or trusts,
validly designated by the Director or, in the absence of a valid designation,
entitled by will or the laws of descent and distribution to receive the amounts
otherwise payable to the Director under this Plan in the event of the Director's
death.

     7.3  Rights Not Assignable; Obligations Binding Upon Successors.  A
Director's rights under this Plan shall not be assignable or transferable and
any purported transfer, assignment, pledge or other encumbrance or attachment of
any payments or benefits under this Plan, or any interest thereon, other than
pursuant to Section 7.2, shall not be permitted or recognized.  Obligations of
the Corporation under this Plan shall be binding upon successors of the
Corporation.

     7.4  Governing Law; Severability.  The validity of this Plan or any of its
provisions shall be construed, administered, and governed in all respects under
and by the laws of the State of Maryland.  If any provisions of this instrument
shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully
effective.

     7.5  Annual Statements.  The Corporation shall prepare and send a statement
to the Director (or to the Director's Beneficiary after the Director's death)
showing the balance credited to the Director's Account as of December 31 of each
year for which an Account is maintained with respect to the Director.

     7.6  Headings Not Part of Plan.  Headings and subheadings in this Plan are
inserted for reference only and are not to be considered in the construction of
this Plan.

Director shall be deemed conclusively to have accepted and consented to all of
the terms of this Plan and to all actions and decisions of the Corporation,
Board, or Committee with regard to the Plan.  Such terms and consent shall also
apply to and be binding upon each Director's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries,
personal representatives, and other successors in interest.

     7.8  Effective Date.  This Plan shall became effective on March 15, 1995.

     7.9  Plan Construction.  It is the intent of the Corporation that this Plan
satisfy and be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the applicable
requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that Directors will be entitled to the benefits of
Rule 16b-3 or other exemptive rules under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and
will not be subjected to avoidable liability thereunder.  Any contrary
interpretation shall be avoided.

provide those employees with matching credits equal to the matching
contributions that would have been made by the Company on their behalf under the
Qualified Savings Plan if the amounts deferred had been contributed to the
Qualified Savings Plan.

                          ELECTION OF DEFERRED AMOUNT
                          ---------------------------

         1. Timing of Deferral Elections. An Eligible Employee may elect to
            ----------------------------
defer Compensation for a Year by executing and delivering to the Company a
Deferral Agreement no later than November 30 of the preceding Year. An Eligible
Employee's Deferral Agreement shall be irrevocable when delivered to the Company
and shall remain irrevocably in effect for all succeeding Years, except that the
Deferral Agreement may be modified or revoked with respect to any succeeding
year by the Eligible Employee's execution and delivery to the Company of a new
or modified Deferral Agreement on or before November 30 of such succeeding Year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, deferral elections for the 1997 Year may be made
as late as February 28, 1997, in recognition of the fact that the right to enter
into Deferral Agreements for the 1997 Year has generally been suspended pending
the distribution of prospectuses for the Plan, as amended and restated;
provided, however, no Deferral Agreement for the 1997 Year shall take effect, or
apply to Compensation earned, before the date that the Eligible Employee's
Deferral Agreement is executed and delivered to the Company.

         2. Amount of Deferred Compensation. Unless an Eligible Employee elects
            -------------------------------
to make no deferral for a Year, the Eligible Employee's Deferred Compensation
for a Year shall equal (i) his or her Compensation from the time when his or her
Deferral Agreement takes effect during the Year (as elected under Section 3 of
this Article III) until the last day of the Year, multiplied by (ii) the
percentage of Compensation that the Eligible Employee has elected to contribute
to the Qualified Savings Plan (whether in the form of pre-tax salary reduction
contributions, after-tax contributions, or a combination thereof) for that Year.
An Eligible Employee who has elected to make a deferral for a Year under this
Supplemental Savings Plan shall be precluded from modifying his or her rate of
contributions to the Qualified Savings Plan for that Year after the date on
which his or her Deferral Agreement for that Year (including any continuing
Deferral Agreement) has become irrevocable under Section 1 of this Article III.

         3. Time when Deferral Agreement Takes Effect. The Eligible Employee may
            -----------------------------------------
elect to have his or her Deferral Agreement take effect after the occurrence of
either of the following triggering events:

            (a) the Eligible Employee's pre-tax salary reduction contributions
         under the Qualified Savings Plan for the Year equal the applicable
         limit under Code section 402(g), or

            (b) the Compensation paid to the Eligible Employee for the Year
         equals the applicable compensation limit under Code section 401(a)(17),
         or, if earlier, the annual additions (within the meaning of Code
         section 415(c)(2)) of the Eligible Employee for the Year under the
         Qualified Savings Plan and any other plan maintained by the Company
         equal the applicable limit under Code section 415(c)(1)(A).

An Eligible Employee's Deferral Agreement shall first take effect and apply to
that portion of Compensation earned by the Eligible Employee for a particular
<PAGE>
 
                                      -5-

payroll period that exceeds the amount at which, or with respect to which, the
triggering event occurs.

         The Company shall credit to the Account of a Participant as Matching
Credits the same percentage of the Participant's Deferred Compensation as it
would have contributed as matching contributions to the Qualified Savings Plan
if the amount of the Participant's Deferred Compensation had been contributed as
pre-tax salary reduction or after-tax contributions to the Qualified Savings
Plan.

            ----------------------------------
credited to a Participant's Account as of the day on which such amount would
have been credited to the Participant's account under the Qualified Savings Plan
if the Participant's Deferred Compensation had been contributed as pre-tax
salary reduction or after-tax contributions to the Qualified Savings Plan.

         2. Crediting of Matching Credits. Matching Credits shall be credited to
            -----------------------------
a Participant's Account as of the day on which the Deferred Compensation to
which they relate are credited under Section 1.

         3. Crediting of Earnings. Earnings shall be credited to a Participant's
            ---------------------
Account based on the Investment Option or Options to which his or her Account
has been allocated, beginning with the day as of which any amounts (or any
reallocation of amounts) are credited to the Participant's Account. Any amount
distributed from a Participant's Account shall be credited with earnings through
the day on which the distribution is processed. The manner in which earnings are
credited under each of the Investment Options shall be determined in the same
manner as under the Qualified Savings Plan.

         4. Selection of Investment Options. The amounts credited to a
            -------------------------------
Participant's Account under this Supplemental Savings Plan shall be allocated
among the Investment Options in the same percentages as the Participant's
account under the Qualified Savings Plan is allocated among those Investment
Options. In the event that an Account is maintained for a Participant under this
Supplemental Savings Plan at a time when an account is no longer maintained for
the Participant under the Qualified Savings Plan, the Participant may allocate
and reallocate his or her Account Balance among the Investment Options in
accordance with the procedures and limitations on allocations and reallocations
under the Qualified Savings Plan.

                                  ARTICLE VI
                                  ----------

                              PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
                              -------------------

         1. General. The Company's liability to pay benefits to a Participant or
            -------
Beneficiary under this Supplemental Savings Plan shall be measured by and shall
in no event exceed the Participant's Account Balance, which shall be fully
vested and nonforfeitable at all times. All benefit payments shall be made in
cash and, except as otherwise provided, shall reduce allocations to the
Investment Options in the same proportions that the Participant's Account
Balance is allocated among those Investment Options.

         2. Commencement of Payment. The payment of benefits to a Participant
            -----------------------
shall commence as soon as administratively feasible following the Participant's
termination of employment with the Company and his or her entitlement to
commence receiving benefits under the Qualified Savings Plan.

         3. Form of Payment. At the time an Eligible Employee first completes a
            ---------------
Deferral Agreement, he or she shall irrevocably elect the form of payment of his
or her Account Balance from among the following options:

            (a)      A lump sum.

            (b)      Annual payments for a period of 5, 10, 15, or 20
                     years, as designated by the Participant. The amount
                     of each annual payment shall be determined by
                     dividing the Participant's Account Balance on the
                     date such payment is processed by the number of years
                     remaining in the designated installment period. The
                     installment period may be shortened, in the sole
                     discretion of the Committee, if the Committee at any
                     time determines that the amount of the annual
                     payments that would be made to the Participant during
                     the designated installment period would be too small
                     to justify the maintenance of the Participant's
                     Account and the processing of payments.

         4. Prospective Change of Payment Election. The Committee may, in its
            --------------------------------------
discretion, permit a Participant to modify his or her payment election under
Section 3 of this Article VI at the time the Participant enters into a Deferral
Agreement for a Year; if accepted, any such modification shall apply to all
amounts credited to the Participant's Account under this Supplemental Savings
Plan. No such modification will be effective if made within one year of the date
of the Participant's termination of employment.

         5. Death Benefits. Upon the death of a Participant before a complete
            --------------
distribution of his or her Account Balance, the Account Balance will be paid to
the Participant's Beneficiary in an immediate lump sum.

         6. Acceleration upon Change in Control.
            -----------------------------------

            (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental
         Savings Plan, the Account Balance of each Participant shall be
<PAGE>
 
                                      -7-

         distributed in a single lump sum within fifteen (15) calendar days
         following a "Change in Control."

            (b)   For purposes of this Supplemental Savings Plan, a Change in
         Control shall include and be deemed to occur upon the following events:

                  (1) A tender offer or exchange offer is consummated for the
            ownership of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of
            the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting
            securities entitled to vote in the election of directors of the
            Company.

                  (2) The Company is merged, combined, consolidated,
            recapitalized or otherwise reorganized with one or more other
            entities that are not Subsidiaries and, as a result of the merger,
            combination, consolidation, recapitalization or other
            reorganization, less than 75% of the outstanding voting securities
            of the surviving or resulting corporation shall immediately after
            the event be owned in the aggregate by the stockholders of the
            Company (directly or indirectly), determined on the basis of record
            ownership as of the date of determination of holders entitled to
            vote on the action (or in the absence of a vote, the day immediately
            prior to the event).

                  (3) Any person (as this term is used in Sections 3(a)(9) and
            13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, but excluding any person described in
            and satisfying the conditions of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) thereunder),
            becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
            Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
            representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the
            Company's then outstanding securities entitled to vote in the
            election of directors of the Company.

                  (4) At any time within any period of two years after a tender
            offer, merger, combination, consolidation, recapitalization, or
            other reorganization or a contested election, or any combination of
            these events, the "Incumbent Directors" shall cease to constitute at
            least a majority of the authorized number of members of the Board.
            For purposes hereof, "Incumbent Directors" shall mean the persons
            who were members of the Board immediately before the first of these
            events and the persons who were elected or nominated as their
            successors or pursuant to increases in the size of the Board by a
            vote of at least three-fourths of the Board members who were then
            Board members (or successors or additional members so elected or
            nominated).

                  (5) The stockholders of the Company approve a plan of
            liquidation and dissolution or the sale or transfer of substantially
            all of the Company's business and/or assets as an entirety to an
            entity that is not a Subsidiary.

            (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(a), if a
         distribution in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(a) would
<PAGE>
 
                                      -8-

         result in a nonexempt transaction under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
         Act with respect to any Section 16 Person, then the date of
         distribution to such Section 16 Person shall be delayed until the
         earliest date upon which the distribution either would not result in a
         nonexempt transaction or would otherwise not result in liability under
         Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

            (d) This Section 6 shall apply only to a Change in Control of
         Lockheed Martin Corporation and shall not cause immediate payout of an
         Account Balance in any transaction involving the Company's sale,
         liquidation, merger, or other disposition of any subsidiary.

            (e) The Committee may cancel or modify this Section 6 at any time
         prior to a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, this
         Section 6 shall remain in force and effect, and shall not be subject to
         cancellation or modification for a period of five years, and any
         defined term used in Section 6 shall not, for purposes of Section 6, be
         subject to cancellation or modification during the five year period.

         7. Deductibility of Payments. In the event that the payment of benefits
            -------------------------
in accordance with the Participant's election under Section 3 of this Article VI
would prevent the Company from claiming an income tax deduction with respect to
any portion of the benefits paid, the Committee shall have the right to modify
the timing of distributions from the Participant's Account as necessary to
maximize the Company's tax deductions. In the exercise of its discretion to
adopt a modified distribution schedule, the Committee shall undertake to have
distributions made at such times and in such amounts as most closely approximate
the Participant's election, consistent with the objective of maximum
deductibility for the Company. The Committee shall have no authority to reduce a
Participant's Account Balance or to pay aggregate benefits less than the
Participant's Account Balance in the event that all or a portion thereof would
not be deductible by the Company.

         8. Change of Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if
            -------------
the Committee determines in good faith, based on consultation with counsel, that
the federal income tax treatment or legal status of this Supplemental Savings
Plan has or may be adversely affected by a change in the Internal Revenue Code,
Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or other
applicable law or by an administrative or judicial construction thereof, the
Committee may direct that the Accounts of affected Participants or of all
Participants be distributed as soon as practicable after such determination is
made, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Committee to cure or
mitigate the consequences, or possible consequences of, such change in law or
interpretation thereof.

         9. Tax Withholding. To the extent required by law, the Company shall
            ---------------
withhold from benefit payments hereunder, or with respect to any amounts
credited to a Participant's Account hereunder, any Federal, state, or local
income or payroll taxes required to be withheld and shall furnish the recipient
and the applicable government agency or agencies with such reports, statements,
or information as may be legally required. However, the amount of Deferred
Compensation or Matching Credits to be credited to a Participant's 
<PAGE>
 
                                      -9-

Account will not be reduced or adjusted by the amount of any tax that the
Company is required to withhold with respect thereto.


                                   ARTICLE VII
                                   -----------

                         EXTENT OF PARTICIPANTS' RIGHTS
                         ------------------------------

         1. Unfunded Status of Plan. This Supplemental Savings Plan constitutes
            -----------------------
a mere contractual promise by the Company to make payments in the future, and
each Participant's rights shall be those of a general, unsecured creditor of the
Company. No Participant shall have any beneficial interest in any specific
assets that the Company may hold or set aside in connection with this
Supplemental Savings Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to assist the Company
in meeting its obligations under this Supplemental Savings Plan, the Company may
set aside assets in a trust or trusts described in Revenue Procedure 92-64,
1992-2 C.B. 422 (generally known as a "rabbi trust"), and the Company may direct
that its obligations under this Supplemental Savings Plan be satisfied by
payments out of such trust or trusts. It is the Company's intention that this
Supplemental Savings Plan be unfunded for federal income tax purposes and for
purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

         2. Nonalienability of Benefits. A Participant's rights to benefit
            ---------------------------
payments under this Supplemental Savings Plan shall not be subject in any manner
to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance,
attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant's
Beneficiary.


                                 ARTICLE VIII
                                 ------------

                           AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
                           ------------------------

         1. Amendment. The Board may amend, modify, suspend or discontinue this
            ---------
Supplemental Savings Plan at any time subject to any shareholder approval that
may be required under applicable law, provided, however, that no such amendment
shall have the effect of reducing a Participant's Account Balance or postponing
the time when a Participant is entitled to receive a distribution of his or her
Account Balance.

         2. Termination. The Board reserves the right to terminate this
            -----------
Supplemental Savings Plan at any time and to pay all Participants their Account
Balances in a lump sum immediately following such termination or at such time
thereafter as the Board may determine; provided, however, that if a distribution
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2 would otherwise result in a
nonexempt transaction under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the date of
distribution with respect to any Section 16 Person shall be delayed until the
earliest date upon which the distribution either would not result in a nonexempt
transaction or would otherwise not result in liability under Section 16(b) of
the Exchange Act.

                                  ARTICLE IX
                                  ----------

                                ADMINISTRATION
                                --------------

         1. The Committee. This Supplemental Savings Plan shall be administered
            -------------
by the Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee of the Board
as may be designated by the Board and constituted so as to permit this
Supplemental Savings Plan to comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 of the
Exchange Act. The members of the Committee shall be designated by the Board. A
majority of the members of the Committee (but not fewer than two) shall
constitute a quorum. The vote of a majority of a quorum or the unanimous written
consent of the Committee shall constitute action by the Committee. The Committee
shall have full authority to interpret the Plan, and interpretations of the Plan
by the Committee shall be final and binding on all parties.

         2. Delegation and Reliance. The Committee may delegate to the officers
            -----------------------
or employees of the Company the authority to execute and deliver those
instruments and documents, to do all acts and things, and to take all other
steps deemed necessary, advisable or convenient for the effective administration
of this Supplemental Savings Plan in accordance with its terms and purpose,
except that the Committee may not delegate any authority the delegation of which
would cause this Supplemental Savings Plan to fail to satisfy the applicable
requirements of Rule 16b-3. In making any determination or in taking or not
taking any action under this Supplemental Savings Plan, the Committee may obtain
and rely upon the advice of experts, including professional advisors to the
Company. No member of the Committee or officer of the Company who is a
Participant hereunder may participate in any decision specifically relating to
his or her individual rights or benefits under the Supplemental Savings Plan.

         3. Exculpation and Indemnity. Neither the Company nor any member of the
            -------------------------
Board or of the Committee, nor any other person participating in any
determination of any question under this Supplemental Savings Plan, or in the
interpretation, administration or application thereof, shall have any liability
to any party for any action taken or not taken in good faith under this
Supplemental Savings Plan or for the failure of the Supplemental Savings Plan or
any Participant's rights under the Supplemental Savings Plan to achieve intended
tax consequences, to qualify for exemption or relief under Section 16 of the
Exchange Act and the rules thereunder, or to comply with any other law,
compliance with which is not required on the part of the Company.

         4. Facility of Payment. If a minor, person declared incompetent, or
            -------------------
person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property is entitled
to receive a benefit, make an application, or make an election hereunder, the
Committee may direct that such benefits be paid to, or such application or
election be made by, the guardian, legal representative, or person having the
care and custody of such minor, incompetent, or incapable person. Any payment
made, application allowed, or election implemented in accordance with this
Section shall completely discharge the Company and the Committee from all
liability with respect thereto.
<PAGE>
 
         5. Proof of Claims. The Committee may require proof of the death,
            ---------------
disability, incompetency, minority, or incapacity of any Participant or
Beneficiary and of the right of a person to receive any benefit or make any
application or election.

         6. Claim Procedures. The procedures when a claim under this Plan is
            ----------------
denied by the Committee are as follows:

            (A)   The Committee shall:

                        (i)       notify the claimant within a reasonable time
                                  of such denial, setting forth the specific
                                  reasons therefor; and

                        (ii)      afford the claimant a reasonable opportunity
                                  for a review of the decision.

                  (B)   The notice of such denial shall set forth, in addition
                        to the specific reasons for the denial, the following:

                        (i)       identification of pertinent provisions of this
                                  Plan;

                        (ii)      such additional information as may be relevant
                                  to the denial of the claim; and

                        (iii)     an explanation of the claims review procedure
                                  and advice that the claimant may request an
                                  opportunity to submit a statement of issues
                                  and comments.

                  (C)   Within sixty days following advice of denial of a claim,
                        upon request made by the claimant, the Committee shall
                        take appropriate steps to review its decision in light
                        of any further information or comments submitted by the
                        claimant. The Committee may hold a hearing at which the
                        claimant may present the basis of any claim for review.

                  (D)   The Committee shall render a decision within a
                        reasonable time (not to exceed 120 days) after the
                        claimant's request for review and shall advise the
                        claimant in writing of its decision, specifying the
                        reasons and identifying the appropriate provisions of
                        the Plan.

                                   ---------

                     GENERAL AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
                     ------------------------------------

                  1. Neither this Supplemental Savings Plan nor a Participant's
Deferral Agreement, either singly or collectively, shall in any way obligate the
Company to continue the employment of a Participant with the Company, nor does
either this Supplemental Savings Plan or a Deferral Agreement limit the right of
the Company at any time and for any reason to terminate the Participant's
employment. In no event shall this Plan or a Deferral Agreement, either singly
or collectively, by their terms or implications constitute an employment
contract of any nature whatsoever between the Company and a Participant. In no
event shall this Plan or a Plan Agreement, either singly or collectively, by
their terms or implications in any way limit the right of the Company to change
an Eligible Employee's compensation or other benefits.

                  2. Any amount credited to a Participant's Account under this
Supplemental Savings Plan shall not be treated as compensation for purposes of
calculating the amount of a Participant's benefits or contributions under any
pension, retirement, or other plan maintained by the Company, except as provided
in such other plan.

                  3. Any written notice to the Company referred to herein shall
be made by mailing or delivering such notice to the Company at 6801 Rockledge
Drive, Bethesda, Maryland 20817, to the attention of the Vice President, Human
Resources. Any written notice to a Participant shall be made by delivery to the
Participant in person, through electronic transmission, or by mailing such
notice to the Participant at his or her place of residence or business address.

                  4. In the event it should become impossible for the Company or
the Committee to perform any act required by this Plan, the Company or the
Committee may perform such other act as it in good faith determines will most
nearly carry out the intent and the purpose of this Supplemental Savings Plan.

                  5. By electing to become a Participant hereunder, each
Eligible Employee shall be deemed conclusively to have accepted and consented to
all the terms of this Supplemental Savings Plan and all actions or decisions
made by the Company, the Board, or Committee with regard to the Supplemental
Savings Plan.

                  6. The provisions of this Supplemental Savings Plan and the
Deferral Agreements hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Company, its successors, and its assigns, and to the Participants and their
heirs, executors, administrators, and legal representatives.

                  7. A copy of this Supplemental Savings Plan shall be available
for inspection by Participants or other persons entitled to benefits under the
Plan at reasonable times at the offices of the Company.

                                     -13-

                  8.  The validity of this Supplemental Savings Plan or any of
its provisions shall be construed, administered, and governed in all respects
under and by the laws of the State of Maryland, except as to matters of federal
law. If any provisions of this instrument shall be held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof
shall continue to be fully effective.

                  9.  This Supplemental Savings Plan and its operation,
including but not limited to, the mechanics of deferral elections, the issuance
of securities, if any, or the payment of cash hereunder is subject to compliance
with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including but
not limited to state and federal insider trading, registration, reporting and
other securities laws) and such other approvals by any listing, regulatory or
governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be
necessary or advisable in connection therewith.

                  10. This Supplemental Savings Plan is intended to constitute
an "excess benefit plan" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(2) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and it shall be construed and applied
accordingly. It is the intent of the Company that this Supplemental Savings Plan
satisfy and be interpreted in a manner, that, in the case of Participants who
are or may be Section 16 Persons, satisfies any applicable requirements of Rule
16b-3 of the Exchange Act or other exemptive rules under Section 16 of the
Exchange Act and will not subject Section 16 Persons to short-swing profit
liability thereunder. If any provision of this Supplemental Savings Plan would
otherwise frustrate or conflict with the intent expressed in this Section 10,
that provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and deemed amended so
as to avoid such conflict. To the extent of any remaining irreconcilable
conflict with this intent, the provision shall be deemed disregarded. Similarly,
any action or election by a Section 16 Person with respect to the Supplemental
Savings Plan to the extent possible shall be interpreted and deemed amended so
as to avoid liability under Section 16 or, if this is not possible, to the
extent necessary to avoid liability under Section 16, shall be deemed
ineffective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Supplemental
Savings Plan, the provisions of this Supplemental Savings Plan may at any time
be bifurcated by the Board or the Committee in any manner so that certain
provisions of this Supplemental Savings Plan are applicable solely to Section 16
Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Savings Plan
to the contrary, if a distribution which would otherwise occur is prohibited or
proposed to be delayed because of the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange
Act or the provisions of the Supplemental Savings Plan designed to ensure
compliance with Section 16, the Section 16 Person involved may affirmatively
elect in writing to have the distribution occur in any event; provided that the
Section 16 Person shall concurrently enter into arrangements satisfactory to the
Committee in its sole discretion for the satisfaction of any and all
liabilities, costs and expenses arising from this election.

                          Lockheed Martin Corporation
                        Directors Charitable Award Plan

                      Plan Document Amended and Restated
                            Effective June 1, 1995
                            Amended April 25, 1996


The Lockheed Martin Corporation Directors Charitable Award Plan ("Plan") was
originally adopted effective July 1, 1994 as the Martin Marietta Corporation
Directors Charitable Award Plan ("Prior Plan"). Effective March 15, 1995,
Lockheed Martin Corporation (the "Corporation") assumed the rights and
obligations of Martin Marietta Corporation under the Prior Plan. Effective June
1, 1995, the Corporation adopted the Prior Plan and amended and restated the
Prior Plan to make it applicable to members of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation.


1.       PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

         The Plan allows each eligible Director of the Corporation to recommend
         that the Corporation make a donation of up to $1,000,000 to the
         eligible tax-exempt organization(s) (the "Donee(s)") selected by the
         Director, with the donation to be made, in the Director's name, in ten
         equal annual installments, with the first installment to be made as
         soon as is practicable after the Director's death. The purpose of the
         Plan is to recognize the interest of the Corporation and its Directors
         in supporting worthy educational institutions and/or charitable
         organizations.


2.       ELIGIBILITY

         All persons serving as Directors of the Corporation as of June 1, 1995,
         shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. Any Director who joins
         the Corporation's Board of Directors after that date shall be
         immediately eligible to participate in the Plan upon election to the
         Board. Individuals who were Directors of Martin Marietta Corporation on
         March 15, 1995 are also eligible for benefits under the Plan.


3.       AMOUNT AND TIMING OF DONATION

         Each eligible Director may choose one organization to receive a
         Corporation donation of $1,000,000, or up to five organizations to
         receive donations aggregating $1,000,000. Each recommended organization
         must be designated to 
<PAGE>
 
         receive a donation of at least $100,000. The donation will be made by
         the Corporation in ten equal annual installments, with the first
         installment to be made as soon as is practicable after the Director's
         death, and each later installment to be made at approximately the same
         time in the following years. If a Director recommends more than one
         organization to receive a donation, each will receive a prorated
         portion of each annual installment as follows: Each annual installment
         payment will be divided among the recommended organizations in the same
         proportions as the total donation amount has been allocated among the
         organizations by the Director.


4.       DONEES

         In order to be eligible to receive a donation, a recommended
         organization must be a tax-exempt charitable organization or
         educational institution and must initially, and at the time a donation
         is to be made, be able to demonstrate receipt of an IRS notice of
         qualification to receive tax deductible contributions, if requested by
         the Corporation, and be reviewed and approved by the Directors
         Charitable Award Plan Committee (the "Committee"). The Committee may
         disapprove a donation if it determines that a donation to the
         organization would be detrimental to the best interests of the
         Corporation. A Director's private foundation is not eligible to receive
         donations under the Plan. If an organization recommended by a Director
         ceases to qualify as a Donee, and if the Director does not submit a
         form to change the recommendation before his or her death, the amount
         recommended to be donated to the organization will instead be donated
         to the Director's remaining qualified Donee(s) on a prorata basis. If
         all of a Director's recommended organizations cease to qualify, the
         amount will be donated to organizations selected by the Corporation. A
         Director may not receive any property or economic benefit from an
         organization as a result of recommending it as a Donee under the Plan;
         a violation of this requirement will render the Director's
         recommendation of the Donee void.


5.       RECOMMENDATION OF DONATION

         When a Director becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, he or she
         shall make a written recommendation to the Corporation, on a form
         approved by the Corporation for this purpose, designating the Donee(s)
         which he or she intends to 

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
         be the recipient(s) of the Corporation donation to be made on his or
         her behalf. A Director may revise or revoke any such recommendation
         prior to his or her death by signing a new recommendation form and
         submitting it to the Corporation.

         A Director may choose to place restrictions on the use of funds he or
         she recommends to be donated to an organization. The Corporation will
         advise the Donee of the restrictions, but the Corporation will not be
         responsible for monitoring the use of the funds by the organization to
         ensure compliance with the restrictions. However, the Committee may, in
         its discretion, suspend any remaining donation installments for the
         organization if it becomes aware that the funds are not being used in a
         manner which is consistent with the restrictions.


6.       VESTING

         A Director will become vested in the Plan upon the completion of sixty
         full months of service as a Director, or if he or she dies, retires or
         becomes disabled while serving as a Director. Service as a member of
         the Board of Directors of Lockheed Corporation prior to June 1, 1995
         will be counted as vesting service. If a Director terminates Board
         service before becoming vested (other than on account of death,
         retirement or disability), no donation will be made on his or her
         behalf. A Director will be considered to have retired if he or she has
         attained mandatory retirement age as set forth in the Corporation's
         By-laws or if he or she terminates service from the Board during April,
         1996.


7.       FUNDING AND PLAN ASSETS

         The Corporation may fund the Plan or it may choose not to fund the
         Plan. If the Corporation elects to fund the Plan in any manner, neither
         the Directors (or their heirs or assigns) nor their recommended
         Donee(s) shall have any rights or interests in any assets of the
         Corporation identified for such purpose. Nothing contained in the Plan
         shall create, or be deemed to create, a trust, actual or constructive,
         for the benefit of a Director or any Donee recommended by a Director to
         receive a donation, or shall give, or be deemed to give, any Director
         or recommended Donee any interest in any assets of the Plan or the
         Corporation. If the Corporation elects to fund the Plan through life
         insurance policies, a participating Director agrees to 

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
         cooperate and fulfill the enrollment requirements necessary to obtain
         insurance on his or her life.


8.       AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

         The Board of Directors of the Corporation may, at any time, by a
         majority vote and without the consent of the Directors participating in
         the Plan, amend, modify, or waive any term of the Plan or suspend, or
         terminate the Plan for any reason, including, but not limited to,
         changes in applicable tax laws; provided however, that, subject to
         Section 4, no such amendment or termination shall, without the consent
         of the relevant Director or relevant Donee (if the Director has died)
         eliminate, reduce, or modify the obligation of the Corporation to make
         contributions on behalf of a Director who prior to the date of the
         amendment is adopted dies, retires, becomes disabled or has completed
         sixty full months of service as a Director.


9.       ADMINISTRATION

         The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall be
         responsible for executing and delivering documents necessary and
         appropriate to the administration of the Plan and for making
         determinations as to the eligibility of Donees. The Board of Directors
         shall have the authority to interpret the Plan and make determinations
         as to eligibility of Directors. The determinations of the Committee (or
         the Board of Directors, as the case may be) on the foregoing matters
         shall be conclusive and binding on all interested parties.


10.      DIRECTORS CHARITABLE AWARD PLAN COMMITTEE

         The Directors Charitable Award Plan Committee shall be a committee of
         four members consisting of the persons who from time to time may be the
         Corporation's Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary, and Vice
         President, Corporate Communications. The Chief Financial Officer shall
         act as the Chairperson of the Committee.

11.      GOVERNING LAW

         The Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of
         Maryland, and all provisions thereof shall be administered according to
         the laws of said state.


12.      MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         A Director's rights and interest under the Plan may not be assigned or
         transferred. The expenses of the Plan will be borne by the Corporation.

13.      CHANGE OF CONTROL

         (a) If there is a Change of Control of the Corporation, all Directors
         participating in the Plan shall immediately become vested. For the
         purpose of the Plan, the term "Change of Control" shall have the same
         meaning as is defined for the term in Section 10(b) of the Martin
         Marietta Corporation Amended Omnibus Securities Award Plan. In the
         event of a Change of Control other than as a result of the transactions
         contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization among Parent
         Corporation, Martin Marietta Corporation and Lockheed Corporation dated
         as of August 29, 1994, the Corporation shall immediately create an
         irrevocable trust to make the anticipated Plan donations, and shall
         immediately transfer to the trust sufficient assets (which may include
         insurance policies) to make all the Plan donations in respect to the
         individuals who were Directors immediately before the Change of
         Control. In addition, once a Change of Control occurs, Section 3 and 13
         of this Plan may not be amended.

         (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective June 1, 1995, the term
         "Change of Control" shall have the same meaning as is defined for the
         term in Section 7(b) of the Lockheed Martin Corporation 1995 Omnibus
         Performance Award Plan.


14.      CONSENT

         By electing to participate in the Plan, a Director shall be deemed
         conclusively to have accepted and consented to all the terms of this
         Plan and all actions or decisions made by the Corporation, the Board,
         or the Committee with regard to the Plan. Such terms and consent shall
         also apply to and be binding upon the beneficiaries, distributees, and
         personal representatives and other successors in interest of each
         participant.


15.      EFFECTIVE DATE

         The Plan as amended and restated is effective June 1, 1995. The
         recommendations of a Director will be effective when he or she
         completes all of the Plan enrollment requirements (including, if the
         Plan is funded with insurance, satisfaction of any requirements to
         qualify for the insurance).

16.      RIGHTS UNDER PRIOR PLAN

         The rights of any individual who was a member of the Board of Directors
         of Martin Marietta Corporation on March 15, 1995 (an "MMC Director")
         shall be determined solely under this Plan as amended and restated
         effective June 1, 1995, except that each MMC Director is fully vested
         as of March 15, 1995 in the Plan's benefits. Any MMC Director shall be
         entitled to a single benefit attributable to service both as a member
         of the Board of Directors of Martin Marietta Corporation and of the
         Corporation. After March 15, 1995, Directors of Martin Marietta
         Corporation (other than individuals who were Directors on that date)
         shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan.

              10.  RETIREMENT -- Separation from service from the Corporation 
that meets the requirements of Article III.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                   -----------

                                   ELIGIBILITY
                                   -----------

         An Employee who is an Eligible Executive at the time of his or her
separation from service with the Corporation shall become a Participant in the
Plan and eligible for the benefits under the Plan if the Employee satisfies all
of the following requirements (or those requirements which have not been
expressly waived by the Compensation Committee with respect to an Eligible
Executive) at the time of his or her separation from service:

         a) the Eligible Executive's separation from service occurs on or after
            the Eligible Executive attains age 55;

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
           b) the Eligible Executive's separation from service occurs on or
              before December 31 of the year in which the Eligible Executive
              attains age 65; and

           c) the separation from service is for any reason other than

              i)  involuntary termination for cause; or

              ii) to accept full time employment in a comparable position with
                  another employer.

A separation from service with the Corporation that meets all the requirements
of this Article III shall be considered Retirement from the Corporation except
that separation from employment with the Corporation in order to accept
employment with any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall not constitute
Retirement under the terms of the Plan and shall not result in commencement of
entitlement to any benefit. Any Employee who at the time of his or her
separation from service does not meet all the requirements of this Article III
for Retirement shall not be eligible for benefits under this Plan.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                   ----------

                           TERM AND AMOUNT OF BENEFITS
                           ---------------------------

              1.  The Plan shall provide a benefit payable upon the death of
a Participant subsequent to Retirement in the amount of one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the Participant's annualized base salary for the pay period
immediate prior to his or her Retirement. The amount payable under this Plan
shall be reduced by the amount payable under a Predecessor Plan, to the extent
the benefit under the Predecessor Plan has not been waived by the Participant.

              2.  The coverage provided under this Plan shall commence
immediately on termination of employment for Retirement and continue during the
lifetime of a Participant unless sooner terminated by reason of the
circumstances described in the succeeding subsection.

                                       3

              3. If, following the date on which a Participant becomes a
Participant, the Board of Directors reasonably finds that a Participant, without
the prior written consent of the Board of Directors, is engaged in the operation
or management of a business, whether as owner, controlling stockholder, partner,
director, officer, employee, consultant, or otherwise, which at such time is in
competition with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or
has disclosed to unauthorized persons information relative to the business of
the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates which the Participant
shall have had reason to believe is confidential, or shall be found by the Board
of Directors to have committed an act during or after the term of the
Participant's employment which would have justified the Participant being
discharged for cause, all benefits to which such Participant shall otherwise be
entitled under this Plan shall terminate. This section shall be uniformly
applied to Participants similarly situated.

                                MANNER OF PAYMENT
                                -----------------

              1. A written designation of Beneficiary(ies) and contingent
Beneficiary(ies) may be made by the Participant in accordance with the
procedures established by the Compensation Committee (or its delegates
authorized in accordance with Article VIII 2). The Participant may change his or
her designation from time to time by written notice made by the Participant or,
if applicable, his assignee in accordance with the Compensation Committee's
procedures.

              2. Benefits under the Plan shall be payable to the Beneficiary
or Beneficiaries properly designated by the Participant in accordance with
paragraph 1 of Article V. If, at the time of the Participant's death, there is
no properly designated Beneficiary as to all or any part of the benefit, or if
the designated beneficiary does not survive the Participant, the benefit will be
paid at the option of the Compensation Committee to any of the following
survivors of the Participant: wife, husband, mother, father, child, or children;
or to the executors or administrators of the Participant.

              3. Payments to any named Beneficiary or Beneficiaries pursuant
to any applicable law to any survivor or survivors of the Participant or to the
estate of a Participant, or pursuant to a Beneficiary designation or the terms
of this Plan shall completely discharge all liabilities of the Corporation with
respect to the amounts so paid.

              4. At the written request of the Participant or Beneficiary to
the Compensation Committee, Plan benefits may be paid in (a) lump sum, (b)
annual installments over a fixed period of years not to exceed ten years, or (c)
such other arrangements as may be agreed upon by the Participant or Beneficiary
and the Compensation Committee. The maximum number of annual installments that
may be elected will be reduced as is necessary to insure that each annual
installment will be at least $10,000.

              5. Benefits under the Plan shall be paid by the Corporation
from its general funds. This Plan constitutes a mere contractual promise by the
Corporation to make payments in the future, and each Participant's (or
Beneficiary's) rights shall be those of a general, unsecured creditor of the
Corporation. No Participant or Beneficiary shall have any beneficial interest in
any specific assets that the Corporation may hold or set aside in connection
with this Plan.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                   ----------

                                CHANGE OF CONTROL
                                -----------------

              1. Within 15 days of a change of control, in full satisfaction
of all of its obligations under this Plan, the Corporation shall pay to each
Participant in the Plan, a lump sum payment equal to the benefit that would be
payable with respect to the Participant upon his or death. Upon payment of these
amounts, the Plan shall terminate and no amount shall be payable to or on behalf
of any Employee or Eligible Executive who, as of the date of the change of
control, had not yet become a Participant by satisfying all the requirements of
Article III.

              2. For purposes of this Plan, a change in control shall include
and be deemed to occur upon the following events:

                 (a) A tender offer or exchange offer is consummated for the
ownership of securities of the Corporation representing 25% or more of the
combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding voting securities
entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Corporation.

                 (b) The Corporation is merged, combined, consolidated,
recapitalized or otherwise reorganized with one or more other entities that are
not Subsidiaries and, as a result of the merger, combination, consolidation,
recapitalization or other reorganization, less than 75% of the outstanding
voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall immediately
after the event be owned in the aggregate by the stockholders of the Corporation
(directly or indirectly), determined on the basis of record ownership as of the
date of determination of holders entitled to vote on the action (or in the
absence of a vote, the day immediately prior to the event).

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
                 (c) Any person (as this term is used in Sections 3(a)(9) and
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but excluding any person
described in and satisfying the conditions of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) thereunder),
becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation
representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation's then
outstanding securities entitled to vote in the election of directors of the
Corporation.

                 (d) At any time within any period of two years after a tender
offer, merger, combination, consolidation, recapitalization, or other
reorganization or a contested election, or any combination of these events, the
"Incumbent Directors" shall cease to constitute at least a majority of the
authorized number of members of the Board. For purposes hereof, "Incumbent
Directors" shall mean the persons who were members of the Board immediately
before the first of these events and the persons who were elected or nominated
as their successors or pursuant to increases in the size of the Board by a vote
of at least three-fourths of the Board members who were then Board members (or
successors or additional members so elected or nominated).

                      (e) The stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of
liquidation and dissolution or the sale or transfer of substantially all of the
Corporation's business and/or assets as an entirety to an entity that is not a
Subsidiary.

                 3.   This Article VI shall apply only to a change in control of
Lockheed Martin Corporation and shall not apply to any transaction involving the
Corporation's sale, liquidation, merger, or other disposition of any subsidiary.

                 4.   The Committee may cancel or modify this Article VI at any
time prior to a change in control. In the event of a change in control, this
Article VI shall remain in force and effect, and shall not be subject to
cancellation or modification until such time as all payments have been made in
accordance with paragraph 1 of Article VI.

                                  ARTICLE VII

         The Compensation Committee may from time to time recommend amendments
of the Plan to the Board of Directors for their review and approval. The Board
of Directors may terminate the Plan or amend the Plan in any respect and at any
time; provided however, that no amendment or termination shall have the effect
of reducing the death benefit then being paid, or to be paid, on behalf of any
Participant. Any Participant may, however, at the Participant's election, by
written notice to the Compensation Committee terminate participation in the
Plan.

                                 ADMINISTRATION
                                 --------------

              1. This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation
Committee or such other committee as may be designated by the Board. The
Committee shall have full authority to interpret the Plan, and interpretations
of the Plan by the Committee shall be final and binding on all parties.

              2. The Committee may delegate to the officers or employees of
the Corporation the authority to execute and deliver those instruments and
documents, to do all acts and things, and to take all other steps deemed
necessary, advisable or convenient for the effective administration of this Plan
in accordance with its terms and purpose

              3. In making any determination or in taking or not taking any
action under this Plan, the Committee may obtain and rely upon the advice of
experts, including professional advisors to the Corporation. No member of the
Committee or officer of the Corporation who is a Participant thereunder may
participate in any decision specifically relating to his or her individual
rights or benefits under the Plan.

              4. Neither the Corporation nor any member of the Board or of
the Committee, nor any other person participating in any determination of any
question under this Plan, or in the interpretation, administration or
application thereof, shall have any liability to any party for any action taken
or not taken in good faith under this Plan.

              5. If a minor, person declared incompetent, or person
incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property is entitled to
receive a benefit, make an application, or make an election thereunder, the
Committee may direct that such benefits be paid to, or such application or
election be made by, the guardian, legal representative, or person having the
care and custody of such minor, incompetent, or incapable person. Any payment
made, application allowed, or election implemented in accordance with this
section shall completely discharge the Corporation and the Committee from all
liability with respect thereto.

              6.   The Committee may require proof of the death, disability,
incompetence, minority, or incapacity of any Participant or Beneficiary and of
the right of a person to receive any benefit or make any application or
election.

              7.   The procedures when a claim under this Plan is denied by the
Committee are as follows:

              (A)  The Committee shall:

                   (i)   notify the claimant within a reasonable time of such
denial, setting forth the specific reasons therefor; and

                   (ii)  afford the claimant a reasonable opportunity for a
review of the decision.

              (B)  The notice of such denial shall set forth, in addition to
the specific reasons for the denial, the following:

                   (i)   identification of pertinent provisions of this Plan;

                   (ii)  such additional information as may be relevant to the
denial of the claim; and

                   (iii) an explanation of the claims review procedure and
advice that the claimant may request an opportunity to submit a statement of
issues and comments.

              (C)  Within sixty days following advice of denial of a claim,
upon request made by the claimant, the Committee shall take appropriate steps to
review its decision in light of any further information or comments submitted by
the claimant. The Committee may hold a hearing at which the claimant may present
the basis of any claim for review.

              (D)  The Committee shall render a decision within a reasonable

                      ------------------------------------

              1. The maintenance of this Plan by the Corporation shall not
in any way obligate the Corporation to continue the employment of an Employee or
a Participant with the Corporation; nor does the Plan limit the right of the
Corporation at any time and for any reason to terminate an Employee's
employment. In no event shall this Plan by its terms or implications constitute
an employment contract of any nature whatsoever between the Corporation and an
Employee or a Participant.

              2. By becoming a Participant thereunder, each Eligible
Executive (and his or her Beneficiary) shall be deemed conclusively to have

                           ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS

           3.1   Five-year Service Requirement. Except as provided in Sections
4.1 and 4.6, a Director shall be eligible to receive benefits under this Plan
only if the Director has served as a member of the Board for five (5) or more
years, and the Director retires, resigns, or otherwise ceases to be a member of
the Board after the Effective Date.

           3.2   Credited Service. For purposes of Section 3.1 and Article IV, a
Director's years of service as a Board member shall be deemed to include all
periods in which he or she served as a director of the Corporation, Lockheed

or she served as a director while an employee of one or more of those
corporations. A Director shall be credited with a year of service for each

                                  ARTICLE IV

                                   BENEFITS

           4.1   Retirement at Retirement Age. If a Director retires from the
Board on or after attainment of Retirement Age, the Corporation shall make
annual payments to the Director in the amount of the Retainer Fee for life. Such
payments shall commence in the January following the year in which the Director
retires and shall be made in each successive January ending with the January
payment for the calendar year of the Director's death. Upon the approval of the
Nominating Committee of the Board, a Director who retires from the Board on or
after attainment of Retirement Age, but with less than five (5) years of service
on the Board, may be treated as having satisfied the eligibility requirement of
Section 3.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an initial payment prorated to
reflect the number of months remaining in the year shall be made to the Director
as soon as practicable following his retirement.

           4.2   Resignation before Retirement Age. If a Director retires,
resigns, or otherwise ceases to be a member of the Board before attaining
Retirement Age, the Corporation shall make annual payments to the Director in
the amount of the Retainer Fee for a number of years equal to the number of full
years the Director had served on the Board. Such payments shall commence in the
January following the year in which the Director ceases to be a member of the
Board and shall be made in each successive January until the payments have been
completed.

           4.3   Death Benefits. Upon the death of an active Director, whether
or not such Director has served as a Director for five (5) years, or a retired
or former Director entitled to benefits under Section 4.1 or 4.2, the
Corporation shall make annual payments to the Director's Beneficiary in the
<PAGE>
 
                                      -3-

amount of the Retainer Fee for a number of years equal to (i) the number of full
years the Director had served on the Board, less (ii) the number of years, if
any, for which payments were made to the Director under Section 4.1 or 4.2,
provided that the number of annual payments to a Director's Beneficiary shall in
no event exceed twenty (20). Such payments shall commence in the January
following the year of the Director's death and shall be made in each successive
January until the payments have been completed.

           4.4   Retainer Fee used to Determine Benefits. All benefits payable
to or with respect to a Director shall be based upon the amount of the Retainer
Fee in effect on the Date the Director retires, resigns, or otherwise ceases to
be a member of the Board.

           4.5   Coordination with Predecessor Plans. The payments to a Director
or Beneficiary under Section 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 shall be adjusted to reflect
payments made or to be made under the Post-Retirement Income Maintenance Plan
for Directors of Martin Marietta Corporation (the "Martin Marietta Plan") and
the Lockheed Corporation Retirement Plan for Directors (the "Lockheed Plan") in
the following manner:

           (a)   With respect to any Director who received a lump sum payment
under the Martin Marietta Plan, each annual benefit payment under this Plan
(commencing with the earliest year in which a benefit is otherwise payable)
shall be reduced by an amount equal to the annual retainer fee that was taken
into account in determining the amount of the lump sum payment to the Director
under the Martin Plan; that reduction shall be made for a number of years equal
to the number of years of accrued benefits for which the Director received the
lump sum payment under the Martin Plan; thereafter, any benefits payable to the
Director or the Director's Beneficiary under this Plan shall be unaffected by
this Section 4.5.

           (b)   With respect to any Director who has accrued the right to
receive benefits under the Lockheed Plan and who has not waived that right in
favor of the benefits payable under this Plan:

                 (i)    the amount of any annual benefit payment that would be
           made to the Director or the Director's Beneficiary under this Plan in
           January of a year shall be reduced by the sum of the monthly benefit
           payments, if any, made to the Director or the Director's surviving
           spouse under the Lockheed Plan in the preceding calendar year;

                 (ii)   if a lump sum payment has been made to the Director or
           the Director's surviving spouse under the Lockheed Plan, each annual
           benefit payment under this Plan (commencing with the earliest year in
           which a benefit is otherwise payable) shall be reduced by an amount
           equal to the annual retainer fee that was taken into account in
           determining the amount of the lump sum payment under the Lockheed
           Plan; that reduction shall be made for the number of years equal to
           the number of years of accrued benefits for which the lump sum
           payment was made under the Lockheed Plan; thereafter, any benefits

           the Director's Beneficiary under this Plan shall be unaffected by
           this Section 4.5; and

                 (iii)  if the benefit payments to the Director or the
           Director's surviving spouse under the Lockheed Plan will commence
           later than the date on which benefit payments would otherwise
           commence to be made to the Director or the Director's Beneficiary
           under this Plan, payments under this Plan shall commence no earlier
           than January of the calendar year following the year in which benefit
           payments will commence under the Lockheed Plan, advanced by one year
           for each full year that the Director has served on the Board of the
           Corporation (excluding years of service as a director of Lockheed
           Corporation).

           4.6   Provisions for Directors Retiring during April, 1996.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Director who
retires from the Board during April, 1996 shall receive annual payments for life
in accordance with Section 4.1, regardless of whether the Director has served
five years on the Board and regardless of whether the Director has attained age
70 at the time of retirement. The amount of the annual payment shall equal the
amount of the Annual Retainer in effect at the time of the Director's retirement
as set forth in Section 4.4, except that the annual amount shall be increased
from time to time to reflect any increases made in the Annual Retainer payable
with respect to Directors on or before the end of the year in which the retired
Director attains age 70.

           6.1   Limitation on Directors' Rights. Participation in this Plan
shall not give any Director the right to continue to serve as a member of the
Board or any rights or interests other than as herein provided. No Director
shall have any right to any payment or benefit hereunder except to the extent
provided in this Plan. This Plan shall create only a contractual obligation on
the part of the Corporation and shall not be construed as creating a trust. The
Plan, in and of itself, has no assets. Directors shall have only the rights of
general unsecured creditors of the Corporation with respect to benefits payable
under this Plan.

           6.2   Beneficiaries.

           (a)   Beneficiary Designation. Subject to applicable laws (including
any applicable community property and probate laws), each Director may designate
in writing the Beneficiary that the Director chooses to receive any payments
that become payable after the Director's death, as provided in Section 4.3. A
Director's Beneficiary designation shall be made on forms provided and in
accordance with procedures established by the Corporation and may be changed by
the Director at any time before the Director's death.

           (b)   Definition of Beneficiary. A Director's "Beneficiary" or
"Beneficiaries" shall be the person or persons, including a trust or trusts,
validly designated by the Director or, in the absence of a valid designation,
entitled by will or the laws of descent and distribution to receive the amounts
otherwise payable to the Director under this Plan in the event of the Director's
death.

           6.3   Rights Not Assignable; Obligations Binding Upon Successors. A
Director's rights under this Plan shall not be assignable or transferable and
any purported transfer, assignment, pledge or other encumbrance or attachment of
any payments or benefits under this Plan, or any interest thereon, other than
pursuant to Section 6.2, shall not be permitted or recognized. Obligations of
the Corporation under this Plan shall be binding upon successors of the
Corporation.

           6.4   Governing Law; Severability. The validity of this Plan or any
of its provisions shall be construed, administered, and governed in all respects
under and by the laws of the State of Maryland. If any provisions of this
instrument shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully
effective.

           6.5   Corporation's Right to Withhold. There shall be deducted from
all payments under this Plan the amount of taxes, if any, required to be
withheld under applicable federal or state tax laws. The Directors and their
Beneficiaries will be liable for payment of any and all income or other taxes
imposed on benefits payable under this Plan.

           6.6   Headings Not Part of Plan. Headings and subheadings in this
Plan are inserted for reference only and are not to be considered in the
construction of this Plan.

(a) Amounts include the effects of the April 1996 business combination with
Loral Corporation.

(b) Earnings for 1996 include the effects of a nonrecurring pretax gain of $365
million resulting from divestitures which increased net earnings by $351
million, or $1.58 per common share assuming full dilution. The gain was
substantially offset by nonrecurring pretax charges, net of state income tax
benefits, of $307 million, approximately one-half of which related to the
Corporation's conservative strategy toward its environmental remediation
business, with the remainder related to a number of other corporate actions to
improve efficiency, increase competitiveness and focus on core businesses. These
charges decreased net earnings by $209 million, or $.94 per common share
assuming full dilution.

(c) Earnings for 1995 include the effects of pretax charges totaling $690
million for merger related and consolidation expenses. These charges reduced net
earnings by $436 million, or $1.96 per common share assuming full dilution.

Dear Fellow Shareholder,
 
Our first full year operating as Lockheed Martin was virtually all that we had
hoped. We began the year by announcing our strategic combination with Loral and
ended by posting our 13th half-billion-dollar-plus program win of the year.
Along the way, we defied the skeptics -- and the odds -- by rapidly
restructuring, achieving major efficiencies, and successfully integrating 17
business cultures into a world-class team that, through synergy, achieved a
strong track record.

     In less than two years, we have moved into the front ranks of the
industry's consolidation and put some huge challenges behind us to create a
leading diversified global technology company. But perhaps the most meaningful
measure is how these successes have translated into increased shareholder value.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Shareholder Value

A good place to start is with the numbers: In 1996 stock in your company rose in
value from $79 to $91.50 per share, at year end, a 16 percent increase. And if
you reinvested the $1.60 payout of dividends, your annual return was 18 percent.
This brings total returns for Lockheed Martin, since it began trading March 16,
1995, to 39 percent -- which stacks up pretty well against Standard & Poor's 500
Stock Index performance of 27 percent for the same period.

     We will never rest on our laurels. Our goal is to consistently deliver
shareholder returns better than the overall market performance. Our employees
are both committed and incentivized to maximize shareholder returns since they
own approximately 17 percent of Lockheed Martin's outstanding shares. Add to
that, our aggressive stock ownership guidelines for nearly 2,000 individuals in
our management ranks; we expect our management team to maintain holdings of two
times to five times annual salary, depending on position.

     Supporting this market performance, Lockheed Martin's fully diluted
earnings in 1996 were $6.04 per share, versus $3.05 in 1995. Earnings per share,
excluding nonrecurring items in both years, increased 8 percent to $5.40 in
1996, versus $5.01 in 1995. Our continued emphasis on strong cash management
yielded $1 billion in free cash flow during 1996, after expending $244 million
of cash payments and $150 million of capital outlays for our integration and
consolidation program. On the sales front, we recorded $26.9 billion in 1996,
compared with $22.9 billion in 1995. During the year, we brought in nearly $30
billion in new orders, and at year end, backlog stood at more than $50 billion
- -- an impressive number, though we constantly remind ourselves that we need to
add $1 million of new business every four working minutes just to sustain our
revenues.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Enhanced

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Competitiveness

If  our   shareholders   already  have  benefited  in  the  near-term  from  our
consolidation  activities,  so too will our  employees  and  customers  over the
longer term. Through our increased competitiveness,  we have achieved one of the
most  significant new business  win-streaks in the history of our industry,  and
are now  beginning to hire (and  re-hire) a  substantial  number of employees to
fill the new jobs that have been created.

     In addition, through our consolidation and restructuring actions, Lockheed
Martin expects to generate over $6 billion in savings through 1999, most of
which is attributable to the Lockheed and Martin Marietta merger. The real
payoff comes after 1999, when all up-front costs have abated, and we expect to
sustain approximately $2.6 billion in annual savings or $13 billion over every
five-year period thereafter -- savings in which both our customers and
shareholders will share. The portion that goes to our U.S. government customers,
alone, is enough to fund the purchase of 2 Titan IV Centaur rockets, 10 Trident
II missiles, 800 Hellfire missiles, 3 C-130Js, 8 F-16s and 100 Army Tactical
Missile Systems... all incidentally, Lockheed Martin products!

     As noted, the outlook for our employees has brightened, too. We are now
hiring at a number of Lockheed Martin operating companies where we won major
programs last year -- at least partly due to enhanced competitiveness from our
consolidation activities and synergy from our combined strengths and ongoing
cost-cutting efforts.

     It doesn't take a rocket scientist, although we have lots of them, to
figure out that these consolidation activities are a "win-win" for all
concerned. But it does, in our case, take a whole lot of talent across every
imaginable discipline to make these changes a reality.

"As we approach the new
millennium, virtually every
business organization in the world
is seeking to reengineer itself..."

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Mission Success

From our customers' point of view, a major achievement was our record of
continued mission success -- which we define on the opening page of this report.
Of 307 measurable events last year, we realized a 93 percent mission success
rating, including 7 of 7 Space Shuttle launches, 4 of 4 Peacekeeper launches, 11
of 11 fleet ballistic missile launches, 13 of 13 expendable space launch vehicle
flights, and 8 of 8 new spacecraft deployments. Add to that, our mission success
in completing, on schedule, installation of LANTIRN pods on F-14 Tomcats to give
Navy aircraft new night fighting capabilities; joining without a hitch the major
fuselage sections of the first F-22 air dominance fighter, which is on track for
its first flight in May; conducting the first flight of the C-130J; successful
operation of a new air traffic control center in Taiwan; stunning performance of
the Advanced Threat Infrared Countermeasures/Common Missile Warning System
during U.S. Army tests; the F-16's five millionth flight hour; completing, with
flying colors, a test series on our new super lightweight fuel tank for the
Space Shuttle -- and many more.

     The key to these and literally thousands of other mission success stories
were the countless tasks performed with great dedication by our 190,000
employees. In a year of major consolidation, turmoil and change in the industry,
this is an enormous tribute to the talent, commitment -- and concentration -- of
the men and women of Lockheed Martin, without whom, none of this would have been
possible.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The Strategy That Worked

Behind all the statistics are some important strategic actions we have taken
with the objectives of keeping Lockheed Martin on its growth curve and building
shareholder value. As we approach the new millennium, virtually every business
organization in the world is seeking to reengineer itself to adapt to a changing
environment and seek a competitive edge in the emerging global marketplace. But
perhaps no industry has had a greater imperative to change than aerospace and
defense which, of course, comprises a substantial part of Lockheed Martin's
business base.

     As is now widely known, the defense industry has been severely impacted by
the end of the Cold War. Since the late eighties, the U.S. defense budget has
declined significantly, and the procurement portion has virtually collapsed --
falling by more than two-thirds in real terms. Any company looking to the future
has had to take at least the basic thrust of Darwin's point seriously that "it
is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but
rather the one most adaptable to change." 

     Moving aggressively, Lockheed Martin adopted a three-pronged strategy: (1)
Build market share in core businesses through investment and acquisitions, and
integrate those businesses to maximize efficiencies; (2) Move into adjacent
markets through reasonable investment in selected, closely-related businesses;
and (3) Shed less well-positioned and non-core businesses through divestiture.
In short, reengineer Lockheed Martin --and do it fast.

     Putting its stake in the ground early, Lockheed Martin moved aggressively
to pick strong partners in complementary businesses and at valuations that, in
many cases, were a fraction of those prevailing today. Capping a series of
acquisitions and mergers since 1993, Lockheed Martin's strategic combination
with Loral, completed in April 1996, was the perfect fit to balance our core
businesses and strengthen our competitive position in faster growing markets.

                                                                              3

                                                  consolidation plans."
                                                  -----------------------------

     Loral's electronics and systems integration businesses represent an
especially strong complement to the rest of Lockheed Martin. Electronics not
only drives much of the growth in the commercial marketplace but also accounts
for 45 percent of the Defense Department acquisition budget -- up from only five
percent at the end of World War II. The systems integration area also gives us
outstanding growth opportunities -- with an expanding number of civil government
and commercial applications. Areas expected to grow in the relatively near term
include command, control, communications and intelligence; simulation and
training; federal government outsourcing of information systems and services;
advanced air traffic control systems; and space-related electronics. The markets
served by the former Loral businesses, combined with the synergies and
efficiencies created with heritage Lockheed Martin operations, have improved our
outlook for long-term top-line and bottom-line growth, as well as cash flow.

===========================
     Consolidation on Track

Business combinations, although much publicized, merely assure a position at the
starting gate on the fast track of reengineering. The really tough challenge is
the timely implementation of consolidation and restructuring activities
following a merger or acquisition. Our overarching objectives have been to
eliminate duplication, close unneeded facilities, institute best practices,
capitalize on economies of scale, generate synergy and, generally, maximize
efficiencies. It's a difficult and often painful process -- definitely not for
the timid. But it's critical to reducing costs, enhancing competitiveness,
accelerating growth and creating more jobs -- all of which ultimately benefit
customers, employees, U.S. taxpayers and, of course, our shareholders.

     In 1996, we made impressive progress on our corporate-wide consolidation
plans. We reorganized three sectors, closed a number of unneeded facilities,
relocated and combined some major programs, and unfortunately announced the
elimination of a net 1,600 jobs in connection with this reorganization. The
latter item was the most difficult, and some critics of our industry used it
as an opportunity, once again, to fire superficial charges and slogans like
"payoffs for layoffs."

     Everyone is of course, entitled to their own opinions. But no one is
entitled to their own facts. The facts in this case are that major layoffs in
this industry are driven by declines in the defense budget and would probably
have been much greater if not for restructuring actions that, quite literally,
let companies like Lockheed Martin grow while budgets shrink. We also did the
best we could to cushion the blow for those dedicated and able individuals whose
jobs were affected. For example, many employees were offered transfers to other
parts of Lockheed Martin where their skills were in demand -- and for those who
were laid off, we provided severance packages, job relocation assistance and
various other means of support. And, as noted earlier, due to the enhanced
competitiveness and synergies realized from consolidation, we have won major new
programs and begun hiring, and rehiring, in a number of important areas.

17 heritage companies was a salient factor in our 1996 business wins. Of our
major competitions last year, we won an extraordinary 68 percent of the programs
and 63 percent of the dollars bid. Looking just at the 21 we named as our 1996
"Focus Programs" -- those that have significant strategic value -- we achieved a
65 percent win rate of dollars bid. And in January, we won the first of our 1997
programs, the high-priority Navy/DARPA Arsenal Ship program. A few examples of
our key 1996 wins are noteworthy:


[ ]VentureStar(TM) -- NASA selected Lockheed Martin to build a demonstrator of a
   completely reusable launch vehicle designed to revolutionize the economics of
   access to space. Without the aeronautics, space and electronics capabilities
   brought together in our 1995 merger, we very likely would not have won this
   program. Our VentureStar concept is coming to life with an all-star team from
   several operating sectors, working as a `virtual company,' without respect to
   organizational boundaries or locations. While the $1 billion of activities
   under this cooperative agreement with NASA are reimbursable over its multi-
   year term, its treatment as a research and development program is such that
   we do not include these dollars in our year-end 1996 backlog.

[ ]Joint Strike Fighter -- Lockheed Martin was selected to lead one of two
   competing teams to develop the next-generation multi-role fighter for the
   U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, and British Royal Navy. Again, our
   talented, highly resourceful team prevailed to offer a compelling
   combination: the best, lowest risk, most affordable design. Contracted
   activities under this phase of the program are expected to approximate $720
   million, which again are reimbursable but not included in the reported year-
   end backlog.

[ ]Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) -- The Air Force selected Lockheed Martin
   to lead a team to develop SBIRS, an advanced missile warning and tracking
   system. Lockheed Martin will provide the satellites, ground stations and
   systems integration for a total systems solution against the threat of enemy
   missile attack, whether from ICBMs or Tactical Ballistic Missiles such as the
   SCUD, which was widely used in the war in the Persian Gulf.

[ ]Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) -- Lockheed Martin was named one of
   two competitors for the next phase of the U.S. Air Force's EELV program, a
   family of lower cost launchers that will eventually replace Delta, Atlas and
   Titan. 

[ ]Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) -- Lockheed Martin was one of
   two teams selected to compete in a two-year program to design and develop the
   JASSM next-generation precision-strike missile for the Air Force and Navy.
   JASSM will allow pilots to knock out enemy targets with pinpoint accuracy
   from safe distances.

[ ]Hanford Management & Integration -- Lockheed Martin is part of a team that
   will manage activities of the Department of Energy's Hanford Site, a former
   plutonium production facility in Washington state.

[ ]Maneuver Control System -- Lockheed Martin will provide the program
   management and systems integration for a critical part of the Army's
   futuristic command and control architecture.

[ ]New Attack Submarine -- Lockheed Martin was awarded a U.S. Navy contract to
   provide the command, control, communications and intelligence for the New
   Attack Submarine. Including production options, the potential program value
   is approximately $1 billion.

   The potential value of all of these programs combined could range from $100
billion to $500 billion and these programs are extremely important to our
business base, profit and sales growth, as well as to our technological
capabilities. We salute the men and women of Lockheed Martin who are working
together to apply the best practices from so many proud heritages to make such
accomplishments possible.

====================
     From Many...One

Of all the challenges surrounding mergers, acquisitions, consolidation and
restructuring, none is, in fact, more difficult, important -- or rewarding --
than integrating 

6
<PAGE>
 
                            [ARTWORK APPEARS HERE]

many heritage cultures into one coherent and dynamic new entity. In forging the
new Lockheed Martin from 17 different company traditions, we learned hard-earned
lessons, which help account for the synergy supporting our track record this
past year:

     First, have a vision and a strategy that everyone can embrace -- Hope is
not a strategy.

     Second, pick strong, healthy partners and then make synergy happen -- Be
first to choose.

     Third, act quickly and decisively to minimize disruption -- Uncertainty is
often worse than bad news, and it's usually better to be 80 percent correct in
time than 100 percent correct too late.

     Fourth, organize to gain the power of a big company with the agility of a
small one -- Strength with speed is the beginning of efficiency and
effectiveness. 

     Fifth, start at the top and challenge every assumption --Show that the
effort is serious and inclusive.

     Sixth, treat diverse corporate cultures as an asset, not an excuse --
Embrace the "best of the best" in both people and practices to make the new
culture stronger than the sum of its parts.

     Seventh, communicate... communicate... communicate -- With all
constituencies, internal and external.

     Eighth, keep your eye on the ball -- There is still a business to run:
Stock market reports have no asterisks indicating "excused for restructuring".

     Ninth, intensify your focus on customer services -- Make the process of
change transparent, but the benefits apparent to your customers.

     Founded on three fundamental principles -- ethics, mission success and
teamwork -- the new Lockheed Martin culture is, in the final analysis, a tribute
to a pervasive collegial spirit. Creating Lockheed Martin has, in a sense, been
like creating a new company with new policies, procedures, standards,
organizations, employee benefits -- but with almost 200,000 employees ready for
action on Day 1. In view of this challenge, the Lockheed Martin team was
particularly honored when we were chosen one of the world's 100 best managed
corporations in Industry Week's 1996 survey.

     Finally, related to the subject of managing consolidation and
restructuring, in 1996, we continued to implement our carefully prepared long-
term management succession plan. Effective January 1, Norm Augustine, who had
been serving as vice chairman and CEO, assumed the post of chairman and CEO,
replacing Dan Tellep, who retains his seat on the board and will continue to
make valuable contributions to the Corporation. Vance Coffman was elected to the
position of president and chief operating officer. In addition, Marc Bennett was
named executive vice president and chief financial officer, and Frank Menaker
was named to the position of senior vice president and general counsel.

======================
     Portfolio Shaping

As part of our strategy to exit certain businesses that did not fit well with
our long-term direction, we completed, in 1996, the planned divestiture of
Martin Marietta Materials (Materials), the nation's second largest producer of
crushed rock. Splitting off our 81 percent interest in Materials, we launched an
exchange offer that provided a financially-efficient means of distributing
approximately 37 million shares of Materials in exchange for approximately 8
million shares of Lockheed Martin common stock, removing $125 million in
Materials' debt from our balance sheet and unlocking new growth opportunities
for Materials. Other portfolio shaping during the year included repositioning
our CalComp subsidiary and the sale of Lockheed Martin Defense Systems and
Lockheed Martin Armament Systems to General Dynamics for $450 million. This
transaction closed in 1997.

     Through internal cash generation plus a variety of transactions, including
the sale of unneeded real estate, debt was reduced by over $700 million since
the end of April 1996. Future divestitures and strong cash flow from operations
should continue to enhance our financial flexibility and firepower.

     In February 1997, Lockheed Martin announced the repositioning of certain
non-core business units into a new independent company to be jointly owned by
Lehman Brothers Capital Partners III, L.P., Lockheed Martin, and a management
team

                                                                               7
<PAGE>
 
                            [ARTWORK APPEARS HERE]

led by Frank C. Lanza, executive vice president of Lockheed Martin. The business
units have nearly 4,900 employees and combined 1996 annual revenues exceeding
$650 million. At closing (which remains subject to a number of contingencies),
the transaction is expected to generate in excess of $400 million in cash
proceeds (net of taxes), allowing the Corporation to continue its good progress
in reducing debt. The Corporation's retention of a partial interest in this
joint venture provides an opportunity to continue building additional
shareholder value while at the same time concentrating on our core businesses.
In conjunction with this transaction, we realigned the businesses that formerly
comprised the C/3/I & Systems Integration Sector among the Corporation's
Electronics and Information & Services Sectors.

===================
     Growth Markets

We are accelerating our entry into closely related non-defense markets -- very
deliberately, though, as we are determined to defy the old pattern of aerospace
industry diversification, which was in retrospect largely unblemished by
success. Just a few examples give an idea of this opportunity-rich strategy: We
have entered the fast-growing information services outsourcing field, and
Fieldcrest Cannon last year chose us to provide those services; we are
developing, jointly with Intel Corporation, a 3-D chip that will render richer,
more life-like graphics for PC users; we are providing wireless communications
components for a new Personal Communications Services network, allowing that
network to use the existing cable infrastructure; and last year we began to
install our E-ZPass electronic toll service on six bridges and tunnels
connecting New York and New Jersey, just one of many state and local services
programs.

     Lockheed Martin has successfully applied its defense and aerospace
technologies to new commercial products and services including medical imaging
and filmless X-rays; fingerprint recognition technology for the FBI; and
graphics boards for Sega's popular arcade games. We are using our technology
expertise to develop large commercial and civil infrastructure projects from
full turnkey telecommunications systems and space imaging to implementing the
nation's largest privatized child support payment system.

     Our international business -- especially defense, space, electronics,
systems integration, information and services -- is also important and growing.
Today, Lockheed Martin's international business represents about 18 percent of
total sales, and we expect it to grow significantly over the next several years.
Toward that end, we are actively pursuing strategic alliances with partners on
every continent to pool resources, spread risks, enhance market opportunities
and apply diverse technology solutions. Examples of this strategy include a
partnership with Russian industry to jointly market the Atlas and Proton launch
vehicles, and a consortium of Asian companies to develop regional mobile
telecommunications services, as well as many other international companies with
whom we are teamed on major programs.

=================
     A Few Clouds

As successful as 1996 was, a company of our size and breadth seemingly always
suffers some disappointments. In our case, these included losing the maritime
patrol aircraft competition in the United Kingdom; failing thus far to achieve
an intercept in developmental tests of the Theater High Altitude Area Defense
(THAAD) system; and losing our initial DarkStar unmanned aerial reconnaissance
vehicle during its second test flight. Our contract with the Department of
Energy to remediate contaminated waste at the Pit 9 facility in Idaho still
faces significant schedule, technical and cost issues.

     The good news is that in each of these cases, we learned valuable lessons
from the global marketplace to the desolate reaches of the White Sands Missile
Test Range, and we are marshalling our resources to remedy the underlying
problems.

==================
     Looking Ahead

With all that has been accomplished in the past year, it is no time to be
complacent: On January 1, 1997, the register of accomplishment went back to
zero, and while Lockheed Martin has surged forward in the race to consolidate,
integrate, diversify and build shareholder value, we are constantly challenged
by formidable competitors, both in the U.S. and abroad.

     We believe that there will be significant growth in our commercial markets
and that the aerospace and defense industry will continue to consolidate. We
welcome both. With regard to the latter, a few healthy competitors benefit the
customer and the country more than a large number of weakened competitors by
offering a more efficient, lower cost, stable defense industrial base. And we
would rather compete against strong, healthy companies interested, as are we, in
the long term, than weak ones worrying only about survival and thereby taking
unpredictable risks.

     The pending Boeing-McDonnell Douglas and Raytheon-Hughes-Texas Instruments
combinations are a clear signal that the state of the industry is still very
turbulent. Survival will depend not only on size, but also on speed and
competitiveness to capitalize on fast-moving changes in global markets,
technologies, and the geopolitical landscape. Companies that today make up
Lockheed Martin were all once much smaller players in a much larger industry --
Davids against Goliaths-- and happily, we haven't lost our slingshot aim should
it be needed from time-to-time in the future.

=======================
     Ready For the 21st
============
     Century

1997 should be another landmark year for Lockheed Martin, with opportunities for
winning new business, delivering on our promises to customers, rewarding
employees, and producing superior financial returns for our shareholders. We
have just about completed our integration efforts. And we are somewhat ahead of
our plan for realizing cost savings, synergies and improved competitiveness.

     In today's highly demanding marketplace, particularly in the high-tech
world, businesses must be brilliant each and every day to survive and thrive.
Lockheed Martin is off to a fast start with a solid business base, broad
technological capabilities, financial strength, enhanced competitiveness through
consolidation and, above all, 190,000 enormously talented employees. Ironically,
this greatest of all assets does not even appear on our balance sheet.

     Finally, to our customers, our employees and you, our shareholders, we
intend to bring an even stronger, faster, better Lockheed Martin into the 21st
century -- and to keep going for the gold. And we thank you, once again, for
your support in these dynamic but opportunity-laden times.

     The past year was one of monumental achievement in the field of space 
science, and Lockheed Martin was a leading player. The discovery of possible 
traces of microscopic fossils in Martian meteor samples collected in 
Antarctica energized America's space program.

     By November 1996, within months of that landmark discovery, Mars Global 
Surveyor, built by Lockheed Martin Astronautics, was enroute to Mars. The
spacecraft will reach Mars in September 1997 to compile a database on Martian
atmospheric and surface features. Launched in December 1996, Mars Pathfinder
will land on the planet's surface in mid-1997. Lockheed Martin built the entry
capsule which will protect Pathfinder on its descent through the Martian
atmosphere. Astronautics also is building two spacecraft as part of NASA's Mars
Surveyor program that will be launched to Mars in late 1998 and early 1999.

     The Space & Strategic Missiles Sector recorded an outstanding number of
mission successes in 1996 with its fleet of launch vehicles. In 1996 there were
seven Atlas launches serving commercial satellite customers; one Proton launch,
the first for the ILS International Launch Services joint venture company with
our Russian partners; four Titan launches carrying classified Department of
Defense payloads; and the first mission of the Multi-Service Launch System, a
reconfigured Minuteman missile the U.S. Air Force will use to launch small
payloads.

     Lockheed Martin's Atlas family of launchers addresses a wide range of
medium payloads at the heart of the commercial business. In April, an Atlas IIA
launched the first of the new-generation Inmarsat communications satellites,
Inmarsat-3F1, which was built by Lockheed Martin Telecommunications. Also last
year, through its contracting affiliate Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch
Services, ILS signed up the first commercial customer for the newest Atlas, the
IIAR, which is scheduled for the first launch in late 1998. The customer, Space
Systems/Loral, has signed up for three firm launches. In April, the first
commercial Proton was launched under the auspices of ILS from Baikonur
cosmodrome. Carrying a European Astra 1F satellite, the launch was a dramatic
symbol of new post-Cold War business relationships.

     Just before year's end, the Air Force also selected two of four competing
companies, including Lockheed Martin Astronautics, to produce more detailed
designs for the new Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) family of more
efficient, lower cost launchers. The Air Force expects to select one of the two
remaining companies in June 1998 to complete development of the new EELV family
of vehicles that are intended to replace the existing Delta, Atlas and Titan
space launch vehicles for use in launching a wide range of government and
commercial payloads. The potential of this award is in the billions of dollars.

     And as an impressive symbol of Lockheed Martin's leadership in the
space-based telecommunications arena, three Lockheed Martin telecommunications
satellites were launched in September in a span of just five days from three
different continents, aboard three different launch vehicles -- an industry
record. Two of the satellites were lofted into space aboard Lockheed Martin
launch vehicles. One of the satellites, GE-1, built for GE Americom, was the
first based on the advanced A2100 satellite bus designed and manufactured by
Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space.

     Made totally of lightweight composites, the A2100 is modular in design,
affording a simplified and more flexible assembly process. As a result, the
A2100 can be configured to meet customer needs without costly reengineering.
The A2100 offers the most payload power per kilogram of any production satellite
and is designed to deliver a solid 15-year mission life. It is the heart of the
total system solutions offered by Lockheed Martin Telecommunications in the
direct broadcast, mobile telephony, broadband and fixed satellite system
markets.

     The A2100 will be the satellite for the Asia Cellular Satellite (ACeS) 
system. When operational in 1999, ACeS will allow users in Southeast Asia, China
and India to access voice, facsimile and paging services through hand-held
mobile and fixed telephones. ACeS is indicative of the complementary
capabilities across the breadth of the Corporation. Aside from providing the
satellite, Lockheed Martin

On September 8 an Atlas IIA launcher and Centaur upper stage lofted into space
GE-1, the first A2100 next-generation telecommunications satellite. Lockheed
Martin Astronautics manufactured the launcher and upper stage, and Lockheed
Martin Missiles & Space built the satellite for GE Americom. The launch and
satellite deployment demonstrate the complementary capabilities of Lockheed
Martin companies to offer its customers total system solutions.

In 1996, the U.S. Air Force selected the A2100 satellite bus and a Lockheed 
Martin-led team to develop the Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS), a 
next-generation missile warning and tracking system.

offers a turnkey system with launcher, ground infrastructure, tracking and
systems engineering. ACeS will be launched on a commercial Proton under the ILS
banner.

     Advanced satellite production took a bold step forward in 1996 with the
completion of the Commercial Satellite Center in Sunnyvale, CA, the world's
first facility designed exclusively for assembly, integration and testing of a
single commercial satellite product line, the A2100. The vision is for Lockheed
Martin to be the primary provider of cost effective commercial satellites in a
very competitive global marketplace. The new facility initially will be capable
of producing up to eight satellites a year under a fast 18-month delivery cycle,
down from the typical 24-month delivery cycle. It is anticipated that Missiles &
Space will produce 16 satellites per year at the new Center, each with a 12-
month delivery cycle -- the most efficient production in the industry. Among the
outstanding features of the new facility is the industry's largest Class 100,000
clean-room -- the size of two football fields. Class 100,000 refers to a
standard of purity requiring no more than 100,000 particles in a cubic foot of
air and none larger than 80 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.

     In 1996, the U.S. Air Force selected the A2100 satellite bus and a Lockheed
Martin-led team to develop the Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS), a
next-generation missile warning and tracking system that will provide initial
detection of a ballistic missile attack on the U.S., its deployed forces or
allies. The initial contract calls for delivery of a system of five
geosynchronous satellites, to replace the aging Defense Support Program
satellites and ground infrastructure. SBIRS represents the first military
application of the A2100 satellite bus and underscores the company's commitment
to providing the government with the same advantages commercial customers enjoy.
SBIRS also is indicative of the total systems capability inherent in Lockheed
Martin, which is responsible for overall systems integration, ground
infrastructure and provision of the launch vehicles. The value of the SBIRS
initial contract to Lockheed Martin is $1.8 billion. In a related development
last year, the Air Force and industry partners chose Missiles & Space's LM700
commercial satellite bus for the first experimental SBIRS Low-Earth-Orbit
satellite, marking the first sale of this commercial space hardware to a
government agency.

     Leveraging its considerable experience in building spacecraft, Lockheed
Martin Missiles & Space last year delivered the first of 21 second-generation
Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites and the first of 125 Iridium(R)
personal communications spacecraft. GPS IIR will improve the system's
performance over the current satellites, fulfilling its mission of providing
ever more precise navigation data to any user with a GPS receiver anywhere in
the world. Iridium is a personal communications system that will use 66
low-Earth-orbit satellites to provide voice, facsimile, paging, and data 
capability to customers globally. The system is based on the

Missiles & Space LM700 satellite bus. Initial commercial service is expected to 
begin in 1998.

     Last year NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory selected Missiles & Space to
join a team that will build, integrate and test the Space Infrared Telescope
Facility, a cryogenically-cooled space observatory that will conduct infrared
astronomy during a 36-month mission beginning in 2001. In addition, NASA
selected Lockheed Martin Astronautics to build the Stardust spacecraft that will
be launched into the comet Wild-2 to collect samples and return them to Earth in
2006. Closer to home, the Global Geospace Science Polar spacecraft was launched
last year with its mission to study solar-induced phenomena in the polar regions
of the Earth. A significant long-term engineering effort is the International
Space Station. In 1996, Missiles & Space began rigorous testing of the solar
array E-wing, a new solar array design that will power the facility during its
lifetime on orbit.

     Lockheed Martin Manned Space Systems successfully completed in
1996 a series of tests on the new Super Lightweight Tank for the Space Shuttle.
The tests demonstrated the tank's ability to far exceed the stresses of launch.
Made of an advanced aluminum-lithium alloy, the new tank will enhance the Space
Shuttle's cargo carrying ability to support building the space station. The
first of 25 Super Lightweight Tanks under contract is on schedule for a first
flight in December 1997.

     In the missile defense arena, the Air Force in November chose a Lockheed
Martin Missiles & Space team to develop and demonstrate the Airborne Laser (ABL)
weapon system, a proposed boost-phase defense against theater ballistic
missiles. During the course of the work the industry team is to demonstrate that
the required laser technologies can be integrated onto an airborne platform to
shoot down hostile tactical missiles at ranges of hundreds of kilometers.

     The U.S. Army and Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space continued their Theater
High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) testing in 1996. Each test has provided
valuable data to aid in refining the system's performance. THAAD is the first
weapon system designed specifically to defend against theater ballistic missiles
using hit-to-kill technology, a technique pioneered and successfully
demonstrated by Lockheed Martin -- the only company in the world to have done
so. The Air Force completed four successful test flights of the Peacekeeper
intercontinental ballistic missile in 1996, with support from Lockheed Martin
Astronautics.

     1996 was a year of profound discovery and achievement in the field of space
science, and Lockheed Martin played a key role in those developments bringing
its combined expertise in launch vehicles, spacecraft, satellites and systems
integration to bear. Lockheed Martin's significant technology assets, spanning
the entire Corporation, will continue to offer customers total system solutions
and turnkey operations. []

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Lockheed Martin Electronics Sector delivered another strong performance 
in 1996, winning substantial new business, recording its second consecutive year
of backlog growth, and exceeding all financial targets. Electronics' commitment
to its vision -- achieving global growth, demonstrating the "values" of a
successful contemporary enterprise, and making "the whole greater than the
sum of its parts" -- was clearly reflected in several strategic contract awards
and major accomplishments during the year.

- -----A Lockheed Martin team led by Electronics & Missiles was selected for the
program definition and risk reduction phase of the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff
Missile (JASSM) program, a joint Air Force/Navy initiative to enable military
aircraft to defeat advanced air defense systems and well-defended targets. The
development and production phase of the program, scheduled to begin in 1998, has
a potential value of over $1 billion.

- -----Lockheed Martin Federal Systems of Manassas, VA, was awarded a contract to
provide the command, control, communications and intelligence system for the
U.S. Navy's New Attack Submarine, reinforcing the company's role as a leading
provider of submarine combat systems. Including production options, the
potential program value for the contract is $1 billion.

- -----Ocean, Radar & Sensor Systems captured contracts totaling more than $100
million to supply the AN/SQQ-89 undersea warfare combat system to the U.S. Navy.
This competitive win represents a return of the company to the forefront of the
antisubmarine warfare market and a program with a potential value of $750
million.

- -----The U.S. Postal Service selected Lockheed Martin Federal Systems of Owego, 
NY, to provide the Tray Management System to automate large mail facilities in
Florida, Louisiana and Texas. The potential value of the Tray Management System
program is $1 billion through the year 2000.

- -----The Electronics Sector restructured its portfolio of companies to maximize
its ability to perform more effectively for customers and win new business. The
addition of former Loral businesses strengthened Electronics' market positions
in several areas, including tactical missiles and electro-optic fire control
systems, surface ship and submarine combat systems, and radar systems for
defense and civil applications. The assets of two non-strategic business units,
with product lines in the area of gun systems and combat vehicles, were sold to
General Dynamics Corporation for $450 million, enabling the sector to focus its
attention on the core technologies and markets. This transaction closed in early
January 1997.

- -----Electronics implemented an extensive consolidation plan which, when
completed in 1998, will result in the closing of four facilities, the
elimination of 1.9 million square feet of capacity, and a reduction in operating
costs of about $85 million annually. Restructuring actions initiated in 1995
were completed in 1996 ahead of schedule and with the total anticipated cost
savings.

     The Electronics & Missiles company continued to leverage its outstanding
technology in night vision and precision targeting with the introduction of the
LANTIRN system on the F-14 Tomcat. LANTIRN allows the F-14 to conduct
carrier-based strike missions against land targets, day or night. In addition,
the first Tomcat LANTIRN pod was delivered a month ahead of schedule and was
fielded an unprecedented 223 days after contract award.

     A joint venture between Electronics & Missiles and Northrop Grumman was
awarded U.S. Army contracts totaling $164 million to begin production of the
Longbow Hellfire Missile System. The Longbow Hellfire is a helicopter-launched,
fire-and-forget antiarmor missile guided to its target by an internal millimeter
wave radar. Over the life of the program, Longbow has a potential value of $1
billion. Electronics & Missiles also signed a long-term agreement with Rafael of
Haifa, Israel to jointly market the AGM-142/Popeye family of standoff strike
missiles to U.S. and international customers. In 1996, the joint venture
received its first international order, a contract from the Australian Air
Force.

     Sanders, a Lockheed Martin company, was selected to provide computer-based
mission planning subsystems and its Common Mapping Production System for Israeli
Air Force F-15I aircraft. As a teammate and subcontractor to Datamat of Italy,
Sanders was chosen to produce and integrate mission planning systems to support
Italian Air Force Tornado and AM-X aircraft. The company also is producing the
Air Force Mission Support System for the U.S. Air Force to assist aircrews in
flight planning, target area tactics, post-flight analysis and other mission
tasks.

     An industry leader in electronic countermeasures, Sanders continued its
successful development of major systems designed to protect military aircraft
from hostile threats. The Tri-Service Advanced Threat Infrared
Countermeasures/Common Missile Warning System (ATIRCM/CMWS) defeated enemy
missiles in a dramatic series of tests at White Sands Missile Range in November.
The Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures (IDECM) Radio Frequency
Countermeasures (RFCM) program, under development by Sanders for the Navy's
F/A-18E/F aircraft, was selected to upgrade the defensive electronics for the
U.S. Air Force B-1B. The company also received $60 million in orders for its
Combat Direction Finding System, a Navy shipboard system that detects and tracks
hostile radar signals and supports over-the-horizon targeting.

     In the commercial arena, Sanders, under an agreement with Lucent
Technologies, is providing critical wireless communications components for a new
Personal Communications Services (PCS) network being built in Southern
California for Cox California Inc. Sanders' PCS-Over-Cable equipment permits the
network to use the existing cable TV infrastructure, offering an alternative to
costly microwave towers.

     Government Electronic Systems solidified its role as a leader in surface
ship combat systems, seaborne radar and total ship systems integration during
the year. The company continued its superb performance as prime contractor for
the U.S. Navy's AEGIS combat system for cruisers and destroyers. The Congress
expressed its approval of the program's performance by authorizing multi-year
procurement of AEGIS destroyers, a first for the program that has a total
potential contract value of $4 billion. In the international marketplace, the
company delivered a fourth AEGIS system for the Japanese Maritime Self Defense
Force in 1996, and is exploring combat systems sales opportunities with Spain,
Australia and Turkey.

     Government Electronic Systems also leads an industry team that won an
important strategic contract to provide the Defense Advanced Research Project 
Agency and the Navy with an initial

design for the Arsenal Ship, a highly-automated floating missile battery
featuring stealth technology. The company also created new prospects for synergy
and expansion of its role in the surface ship area, assuming responsibility for
Lockheed Martin's Vertical Launch System product lines and Marine Systems
business.

     Lockheed Martin Federal Systems in Manassas, VA, is leading the way in
developing advanced high performance space processing systems for Department of
Defense, classified, NASA and commercial applications. In December 1996, the
first radiation-hardened high performance 32-bit flight computer, produced by
Federal Systems, was launched aboard NASA's Mars Pathfinder spacecraft.

     Based on its superior design and development of next-generation real-time
reconnaissance cameras, Lockheed Martin Fairchild Defense Systems was the Naval
Research Laboratories' choice to develop an advanced camera, using the world's
largest charge-coupled-device (CCD) detector, a focal plane array that captures
the camera's imagery. The CCD is the basis of today's electronic cameras. The
Naval Research Laboratories' win further strengthened our position in this high-
technology field, leading to Lockheed Martin Fairchild Defense Systems winning
the bid to build the state-of-the-art reconnaissance system for the Air Force's
Theater Airborne Reconnaissance System.

     Lockheed Martin Vought Systems is a leader in advanced defense systems for
the U.S. Army and allied forces with the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS).
In 1996, Nissan Aerospace of Japan ordered MLRS assembly kits, parts and
tooling. The assembled hardware will be delivered to the Japanese Self Defense
Force. Norway and Denmark, which first ordered MLRS in 1996, bring the total to
12 allied nations with the highly capable artillery system.

     The Army last year chose to upgrade MLRS launchers with a capability to
fire extended-range rockets and missiles, including the Army Tactical Missile
System (ATACMS), manufactured by Vought Systems. The Army also ordered a
longer-range ATACMS, the Block 1A. Vought Systems received a contract to supply
ATACMS to Turkey in the first international sale of the system. In another
important development, the company successfully launched a modified ATACMS
missile from a Vertical Launch System (VLS) canister, demonstrating that the
missile can be fired from naval vessels

development. Vought Systems also introduced a new lightweight launcher for the
PAC-3 Missile system in 1996, and is developing the PAC-3 Missiles for the U.S.
Army under a $700 million contract. Initial fielding of the missile is planned
for 1999.

     Lockheed Martin's broad experience in helicopter avionics and platform
integration is demonstrated in the success of the British Royal Navy's EH101
Merlin program. In 1996, the U.K. Ministry of Defence selected Lockheed Martin
Aerospace Systems Integration Corp. (ASIC) to provide spare parts and repair
services for the Merlin fleet. Lockheed Martin Federal Systems in Owego, NY,
through its U.K. subsidiary ASIC, leads an international team and is responsible
for delivering 44 Merlin weapon systems with advanced mission avionics for anti-
submarine and anti-surface ship warfare capability by 2001.

     The Merlin and the U.S. Navy Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS)
helicopter programs mark Federal Systems as a premier platform integrator.
Through its U.K. company, Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems U.K. Ltd., Federal
Systems in Owego is pursuing an advanced airborne surveillance system for the
Ministry of Defence called ASTOR.

     Federal Systems also will modernize the combat support systems at 93 Air
Force bases worldwide under a program with a potential value of more than $900
million. The Global Combat Support System will use commercial off-the-shelf
software as part of the solution to modernize the service's information systems
infrastructure.

     Testing is underway on software applications being developed by Federal
Systems to modernize the information systems on U.S. Army bases. The goal of
the Sustaining Base Information Services (SBIS) contract is to improve such
functions as safety, security, finance, personnel and training. Software code
development to date has been produced at less than half the standard industry
cost. In November, one application of the software, to support training and
exercise missions, was installed at Fort Knox, KY, and Fort Drum, NY.

Additional new initiatives included a $50 million order for the AN/TPS-59 (V)3
tactical ballistic missile radar system, the first system of this type to go
into production in the U.S. inventory.

     Lockheed Martin Control Systems, a leading producer of electronic flight
controls and engine controls for both commercial and military aircraft, as well
as control and other electronic systems for the transportation industry, pursued
and won new commercial business in 1996. Control Systems and Orion Bus
Industries agreed to jointly develop and produce Hybrid Electric Transit Buses
for major metropolitan users. Hybrid vehicles produce significantly lower
emissions than a conventional vehicle, with greatly improved fuel economy and
reduced maintenance. Control Systems will provide drive trains for the new
buses, which are expected to enter production in late 1997.

     A supplier of systems integration services to the U.S. Navy and prime
systems contractor for the Navy's P-3C maritime patrol aircraft, Lockheed Martin
Tactical Defense Systems in Eagan, MN, was chosen to modify a P-3C aircraft with
the Cooperative Engagement Capability, a system designed to improve the
coordination, use and dissemination of real-time data from various fleet
sensors. All improvements will make the P-3 Orion, which is flown by 14 nations,
a viable worldwide asset to maritime patrol activity well into the 21st century.

     Lockheed Martin Canada is leading an industry team to pursue the Canadian
Maritime Helicopter Program, designed to provide a successor to the Sea King
helicopter. Lockheed Martin Canada also has been the prime systems integrator 
for the recently delivered Canadian Patrol Frigates. Lockheed Martin Canada also
produces a new family of integrated underwater defense and intrusion detection
systems.

     Overall, the Electronics Sector continued to win in the global marketplace
and increase its market share. With a stronger, streamlined portfolio of
companies, the demonstrated ability to reduce costs, and an unyielding
commitment to ethics, Lockheed Martin Electronics is solidly positioned for a
successful future.[_]

Several significant accomplishments in 1996 by the Information & Services Sector
strengthened and expanded Lockheed Martin's role in its traditional businesses
and positioned the Corporation to take advantage of opportunities in rapidly
growing commercial information technology and federal, state and local
government services businesses. Our strategy is to grow fast and profitably in
rapidly-growing markets.

     A major achievement in 1996 was the successful transition of Space Shuttle
processing operations to United Space Alliance (USA). In an unprecedented step
that marks a new government/contractor approach to the management of America's
Space Shuttle program, NASA awarded the Space Flight Operations Contract to USA,
making the joint venture between Lockheed Martin and The Boeing Company the
single prime contractor for Space Shuttle operations. The total contract, valued
at approximately $7 billion over six years, consolidates 12 previous contracts
under USA and provides for an additional 16 contracts to be brought under USA
management. During 1996, employees of Lockheed Martin Space Operations and its
successor, USA, achieved 100 percent mission success by safely launching and
landing seven Space Shuttle missions.

     In its Commercial Systems business, Information & Services formed a new
company, Real 3D, to exploit its real-time, three-dimensional graphics
technology. This technology has been developed over three decades of experience
providing the military with advanced simulation systems and is protected by more
than 40 patents in computer image generation.

     Real 3D accomplished a key strategic objective in 1996 when it reached
agreement with semiconductor industry leader Intel Corporation to jointly
develop a new chip that will give desk-top computer users real-time,
three-dimensional color graphics rich in texture detail that is five to ten
times better than currently available. The chips are scheduled to go into
production in 1997. Real 3D will also bring its real-time 3D graphics technology
to the laptop computer market through an alliance with Chips & Technologies,
Inc., a leader in laptop computer graphics. In another important development,
Real 3D strengthened its ongoing relationship with Sega Enterprises, a world
leader in arcade video games. Real 3D completed design and began production of
the latest generation chip set for Sega arcade video games and, late in the
year, received a new contract from Sega to begin developing even more advanced
technology for the arcade video game market.

     Information & Services expects a multi-billion-dollar market for 3D
graphics technologies by the end of the decade. The worldwide production of 3D
graphics chips is forecast to grow to 115 million chips by the year 2000, up
from 7.8 million chips in 1996.

     Additionally, Information & Services continued to expand its role in the
commercial information technology outsourcing business in 1996 as textile maker
Fieldcrest Cannon selected Lockheed Martin's Integrated Business Solutions to
operate its extensive information networking, E-Mail and desktop computer
operations. As a result of this 10-year outsourcing agreement, Fieldcrest Cannon
will be able to lower its information technology costs and improve customer
service.

     Publicly traded CalComp Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLCP) was created in 1996
with the acquisition by CalComp of Summagraphics Corp., Austin, TX, bringing
together companies with complementary technologies and product offerings in the
Computer Aided Design and graphics arts markets. CalComp's 1996 operating
losses, combined with the consolidation of Summagraphics, demanded restructuring
actions late in the year to address cost and competitiveness issues. In
addition, the acquisition of new ink-jet technology was announced to enhance
CalComp's position as a leading producer of large-format printers, plotters,
digitizers, cutters and scanners.

     Formtek, a leading developer and integrator of enterprise-wide information
management systems, received key orders in 1996 from Volvo Truck Corporation in
Sweden and Daelim Engineering Company in Korea. In addition, the company was
named prime contractor for the Electronic Data Integration and Management
initiative at Lockheed Martin's new Commercial Satellite Center in Sunnyvale,
CA.
     Also in 1996, Lockheed Martin solidified its position as a dynamic systems
integrator and supplier of advanced technology systems for the civil/commercial
marketplace. Key among these advanced technology systems is air traffic control
modernization in the United States and abroad. Addressing the critical need to
upgrade aging U.S. air traffic control systems, Lockheed Martin Air Traffic
Management delivered a display computer replacement for the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) and installed display system equipment at the first of 20
FAA en route centers, both 10 months ahead of schedule. In Taiwan, Lockheed
Martin's advanced integrated air traffic control system went operational last
year, providing en route, terminal and tower service to one of the fastest
growing air traffic regions in the world. The company also is completing
development of an advanced air traffic control system for the Civil Aviation
Authority, United Kingdom, that will handle increased traffic over England and
Wales.

     Over the next five years, orders for key domestic air traffic control
programs are expected to reach $1.5 billion, and international programs could
contribute an additional $2 billion.

     State and local government markets represent a major growth line of
business for the Corporation. Lockheed Martin IMS, a premier provider of data
processing and systems integration services, serves more than 200 state and
municipal clients. A nationally recognized innovator of "intelligent"
technologies that are revolutionizing America's highways, IMS was selected in
1996 by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to integrate electronic
toll systems at six bridges and tunnels used by more than 300,000 motorists
daily, including the George Washington Bridge and both Lincoln and Holland
tunnels. IMS was also selected to launch the state of Maryland's first
electronic toll project on three Baltimore Harbor crossings and the John F.
Kennedy

Memorial Highway. IMS is working on a total of ten electronic toll projects in
eight states.

     Aside from its reputation as a pioneer in the intelligent transportation
field, IMS is a leader in reengineering human services programs. In a major
child support privatization effort in Maryland, IMS was selected to take over
the operation of child support enforcement services in the City of Baltimore and
Queen Anne's County, Maryland. The state of Florida joined 22 other state,
county and municipal jurisdictions around the country who have selected IMS to
provide child support enforcement services. The company designs and develops 
automated child support systems which locate absent parents, collects and 
distributes child support payments to millions of families.

     Also in 1996, IMS -- in partnership with Citibank -- solidified its
position as a leader in electronic benefits transfer (EBT), winning three
separate procurements involving 14 states. The Citibank-IMS team was selected to
develop systems to distribute food stamps and other public benefits
electronically to more than three million recipients in seven Northeastern
states -- the largest project of its kind to date. Citibank and IMS are now
involved in EBT projects in 26 states and the District of Columbia with more
than seven million recipients. With President Clinton's signing of federal
welfare reform legislation, Lockheed Martin expects to play an even larger role
in 1997 and beyond to assist states in streamlining the administration of human
services programs, and in developing and implementing new and creative methods
for helping low-income Americans make it on their own.

     Another significant technology solution is the Automated Fingerprint
Identification System (AFIS), developed by Lockheed Martin Information Systems.
In 1996, the FBI selected AFIS as a powerful crime fighting tool. Scheduled to
begin full operation in 1998, AFIS is designed to rapidly search a national
database of fingerprint sets. More than 50,000 identification verification
requests are expected per day from state and local law enforcement agencies.
Turnaround time on these requests, which now takes months, can be shortened to
24 hours.

     In 1996, Information Systems was also a leader in simulation and training
systems for defense. Building upon technology developed for the U.S. Army's
Close Combat Tactical Trainer, Information Systems was selected to provide the
U.K. Ministry of Defence with high-fidelity simulators, training facilities, and
distributed interactive simulation capabilities for the U.K. Combined Arms
Tactical Trainer (CATT) program.

     In another simulation/training milestone, Lockheed Martin Electro-Optical
Systems will supply third-generation Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System
(MILES) training equipment to the U.S. Marine Corps and the Norwegian Army, a
program with a potential value of more than $100 million. This represents the
first two procurements of third-generation MILES and demonstrates
Electro-Optical Systems as a leader in advanced laser-based tactical engagement
simulation.

     Lockheed Martin Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) develops internal
information systems solutions for the Corporation. EIS has been key to the
Lockheed Martin merger process by providing core services such as networks, data
center consolidation, telecommunications, distributed computing and
geographically distributed system design, application and

                                                                              35
<PAGE>
 
consulting. While continually reducing costs, EIS provides state-of-the-art
information systems through its web-based technologies, electronic commerce
expertise and common systems and services for the Corporation.

     As a result of the strategic combination of Lockheed Martin and Loral and
subsequent reorganization actions taken in 1996, Information & Services' federal
services business was strengthened. With seven lines of business, 19,000
employees, and annual sales of more than $1.5 billion, the Information &
Services Sector's Services Group establishes Lockheed Martin as an industry
leader in providing technical, engineering and management services to federal
government customers. The Services Group achieved a strong competitive win rate
in 1996 and captured several significant contract awards.

     In information support services, Services Group won one of six contracts
awarded by the Defense Information Systems Agency in a program to help military
and civil agencies upgrade their information systems. Services Group will share
in the total $3 billion of the program. It is also providing information
technology support services at the Department of Energy's Hanford Site in
Washington state as part of the winning team that was selected in 1996 to
perform environmental clean-up activities.

     Services Group also provides a wide range of scientific and engineering
support services to NASA. In 1996, NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center awarded
Services Group a five-year, $90 million contract for design, engineering,
operations and maintenance services at its Mission Operations Support Center in
Huntsville, AL. At Johnson Space Center in Houston, NASA's new Mission Control
Center, which was designed and developed by Services Group, began full operation
in support of the Space Shuttle program in May.

     Services Group won several Department of Defense contracts in 1996 as well,
including a U.S. Air Force contract to continue its support of the Tethered
Aerostat Radar System in Florida and a U.S. Army contract for field range
testing and laboratory support at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah.

     In the Information & Services Sector's Systems Integration Group, Lockheed
Martin Management & Data Systems is capitalizing on its experience in large
systems integration in leading a team on a major U.S. Army command and control
program. Selected by the Army in 1996, Management & Data Systems will provide
program management, software development and systems integration for the

System Block IV, which gives tactical commanders the automated capability for
planning, coordinating and controlling battlefield operations.

     Management & Data Systems, in conjunction with Lockheed Martin
Telecommunications, has also led the thrust into the mobile satellite
telecommunications market, providing the ground infrastructure and overall
systems engineering for the Asia Cellular Satellite (ACeS) system serving areas
of Southeast Asia. Launch of the system is scheduled for 1999.

     Lockheed Martin Command & Control Systems is in an advantageous position
for future defense information systems business with its successful work on the
U.S. Air Force Theater Battle Management Core Systems program, designed to
reengineer three separate systems into a single integrated, open tactical
command and control system for battle commanders. In 1996, the Air Force
selected Command & Control Systems to provide engineering and technical services
at the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado Springs, a vital part of the
nation's missile warning and defense system.

     Lockheed Martin C2 Integration Systems in November provided the U.S.
Transportation Command with enhanced Global Transportation Network (GTN)
software that can track thousands of passenger, cargo and equipment movements,
as well as shipment planning, booking and billing. The enhanced GTN was used to
support our forces in Bosnia.

     Indicative of Corporate-wide synergies in large systems integration
programs, Lockheed Martin Federal Systems is teamed with companies in the Space
& Strategic Missiles Sector on the Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) for the
U.S. Air Force, providing the fixed and mobile ground systems for mission data
processing, satellite telemetry, tracking and control, and communications.

     Two companies -- Lockheed Martin Federal Systems and Lockheed Martin
Western Development Laboratories -- were the Air Force's choice in 1996 to
provide increased operational capability, reduce costs and upgrade the
scheduling and satellite operations systems for the Satellite Control Network.
These satellites perform communications, weather, surveillance and special
missions for the Defense Department, NATO and NASA. Lockheed Martin will
modernize the network, replacing an older, manually intensive system for
communicating with satellites using new commercial technologies to reduce
operator workload, lower costs and increase efficiency. In addition, we will
sustain the system for directing and controlling the satellites until it can be
replaced by the newer technology. This work underscores Lockheed Martin's
ability to use commercial technologies to increase system performance and reduce
costs for its customers. The company has a long record of success, having
performed significant design, development and system integration work on the
network over the past three decades. [ ]

Aeronautics
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With advanced products like the F-22, C-130J, X-33 and F-16, Lockheed Martin's
Aeronautics Sector is at work on designs of the future, programs of the future
and partnerships of the future. Aeronautics is a leader in each of its core
lines of business: tactical aircraft, airlift, maritime patrol/surveillance,
reconnaissance/advanced development programs, modification/
maintenance/logistics and thrust reversers. That leadership manifested itself
dramatically in 1996, as Aeronautics won key competitions, achieved important
milestones on existing programs, reached agreement on strategic industry
alliances and proceeded with necessary consolidations of its facilities.

     Vice President Al Gore announced on July 2 that NASA had chosen 
VentureStar(TM) as the winner of the X-33 single-stage-to-orbit reusable launch
vehicle technology demonstrator program. NASA's funding, combined with an 
industry team investment, gives the X-33 cooperative agreement a program value 
exceeding $1 billion.

     In another event of long-ranging significance, then-Secretary of Defense
William Perry announced November 16 that the U.S. government had awarded
Lockheed Martin one of two concept demonstration contracts for the next-
generation Joint Strike Fighter. This innovative weapon system is being
developed to replace several different types of tactical aircraft in the U.S.
Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and Britain's Royal Navy with
approximately 3,000 affordable, lethal, survivable and highly common multirole
fighters beginning in 2008. Several other nations have joined the program as
observers and others have expressed interest in potential acquisition of the
Joint Strike Fighter. Additional international orders could result in eventual
production of more than 5,000 aircraft through the years 2050 to 2060. Lockheed
Martin views the Joint Strike Fighter program as a top new-business priority.

     In the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates selected an advanced variant
of the F-16 Fighting Falcon as one of two finalists in its multi-billion-dollar
fighter aircraft competition for up to 80 aircraft, which may be decided in
early 1997. The United Arab Emirates' decision is an important expression of
confidence in the long-term viability of the F-16 and its evolving technology,
which continues to meet all customer expectations and needs.

     Each of these competitions was a watershed event for Lockheed Martin, for
its competitors and for the industry. We are honored to have been selected by
our customers. While the Aeronautics Sector positioned itself well for future
market leadership through these key selections, it also achieved noteworthy
milestones throughout its lines of business.

     In the tactical aircraft line of business, the F-22, which will provide air
dominance for U.S. forces in the 21st century, is Lockheed Martin's top priority
among ongoing programs. Assembly of the first F-22 continued on schedule toward
first flight on May 29, 1997. In another important development on the F-22
program, Lockheed Martin and the Air Force adopted recommendations made in
December by the F-22 Joint Cost Estimate Team to restructure the Engineering and
Manufacturing Development phase of the program within existing budget levels.
Lockheed Martin and the Air Force both view this as a positive commitment that
will ensure affordability during the production phase while preserving the
Initial Operational Capability date of 2004. The F-22's unprecedented
integration of next-generation stealth, supercruise engines and advanced
avionics will enable U.S. forces to prevent armed conflict or win quickly and
decisively with minimal casualties on both sides if combat becomes necessary.

     The year also contained good news for the F-16 program, with 39 new
aircraft orders, 21 from Egypt and the balance coming from the U.S. Air Force
and other nations. These orders, and others that are expected, helps to ensure
that production of the F-16 will continue well into the next century.

     Entering 1997, we are pursuing F-16 sales in several regions of the world. 
As the Central European market for western defense systems emerged, Lockheed 
Martin launched campaigns to win competitions in Poland, the Czech Republic and 
Hungary as those nations prepare to modernize their air forces.

The first U.S. Air Force C-130J flew in June and a total of five aircraft were 
flying in the test program by the end of 1996.  Testing has confirmed the 
superior maneuverability, reliability, cost effectiveness and overall 
performance of the newest member of the Hercules family of transport aircraft.  
Manufactured by Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems, Hercules aircraft are 
operated by 64 countries woldwide.

1996 is the year we recognized the Aeronautics Sector as the home of Lockheed
Martin's Fighter Enterprise.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Latin America, meanwhile, holds strong potential for F-16 sales should the U.S.
Government decide that its policy interests are served by offering U.S. fighter
aircraft there.

     In Asia, production of the F-2 for the Japan Air Self Defense Force began.
As the principal U.S. subcontractor to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Lockheed
Martin is building aft fuselages, wing boxes and other major components of the
F-2. Japanese government plans call for delivery of 130 F-2s between 1999 and
2011.

     With the F-22 air dominance fighter nearing first flight and production,
our Joint Strike Fighter configuration proceeding to concept demonstration, the
F-16 continuing to attract new sales and with the new programmed depot
maintenance and advanced systems upgrade work we secured on the F-117 program,
1996 is the year we recognized the Aeronautics Sector as the home of Lockheed
Martin's "Fighter Enterprise."

     In the airlift line of business, the C-130J program received orders from
the U.S. government for thirteen C-130J aircraft. Sales campaigns for the newest
Hercules model were initiated in Norway and Italy with solid prospects for
orders in 1997. C-130J backlog stands at 41 aircraft on firm order with options
for 63 aircraft.

     As an example of our continuing interest in international collaboration, we
signed an important agreement with Alenia Aerospazio of Italy to develop and
market the C-27J, a derivative of the Alenia G.222 that would incorporate the
C-130J's advanced avionics, cockpit displays and propulsion system. We believe
there is significant global market potential for this light airlifter but have
agreed with Italy that the C-27J program depends first upon an Italian
government order for C-130Js in order to move forward.

     In maritime patrol/surveillance, the Aeronautics Sector formed an alliance
with Northrop Grumman to develop and market an affordable Airborne Early Warning
& Control System that could be installed on Lockheed Martin C-130 and P-3
aircraft as well as on Northrop Grumman E-2C Hawkeye aircraft. We already are
seeing significant interest in this system and could receive our first orders in
1997.

     While we were disappointed that the Orion 2000 was not selected in
Britain's Replacement Maritime Patrol Aircraft competition, the configuration
offers the same general technology and performance improvements as does the
C-130J. Considering that more than 80 percent of the world's maritime patrol and
surveillance aircraft are P-3s, we think the long-term prospects for Orion 2000
are significant due to its affordability and capability.

     In the reconnaissance/advanced development programs line of business, 1996
was the year in which the famed Skunk Works reasserted itself as the premier
advanced design and rapid prototyping organization in the aerospace industry.
The Skunk Works is leading the X-33 team and building the two Joint Strike
Fighter aircraft specified by the concept demonstration contract. The Skunk
Works also designed Lockheed Martin's Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile
(JASSM), which was one of two designs the Department of Defense downselected for
the next phase of that competition, and launched the DarkStar unmanned
reconnaissance vehicle. Despite

the unfortunate loss of the DarkStar flight test vehicle, the program has
recovered solidly as another DarkStar vehicle originally intended for pole
testing was modified for flight testing and Congress appropriated funds for two
additional DarkStars.

     During 1996, the Aeronautics Sector made significant progress in its
consolidation efforts. The Skunk Works announced that it would move all of the
work done at its Ontario, CA, plant to its Palmdale, CA, facilities in a
consolidation that will result in the closure of the Ontario plant in 1998. In
additional moves, the Aeronautics Sector announced in October that continuing
declines in defense procurement spending had led to the decision to close an
aircraft components plant in Charleston, SC. Meanwhile, the Aeronautics Sector
said it would establish a Center of Excellence for sheet metal manufacturing in
Pinellas County, FL.

     Also in October, the Aeronautics Sector announced that it would consolidate
several operating companies doing business in the modification/maintenance/
logistics and aerostructures lines of business into a unified organization
called Lockheed Martin Aircraft & Logistics Centers. The new organization began
operating January 1, 1997, with headquarters in Greenville, SC. The
consolidation positions the Aeronautics Sector as a stronger, more cost-
effective competitor in that business and demonstrates Lockheed Martin's
commitment to grow its modification, maintenance and logistics and
aerostructures lines of business.

     Through Lockheed Martin Aircraft & Logistics Centers, the Aeronautics
Sector is pursuing a strategy to support the U.S. government's transition to
contracted logistics support and commercialization. This strategy includes
winning modification, maintenance and logistics contracts for as many as
possible of the aircraft Lockheed Martin originally produced. In 1996, we made
significant strides in that direction as our Aircraft Center unit captured
contracts for U.S. Navy P-3 and C-9 programmed depot maintenance, and as
Logistics Management began leading a major campaign to secure U.S. Air Force C-5
programmed depot maintenance at Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio. The Air
Force is slated to make a decision in July 1997. Additionally, Aeronautics
International secured a major C-130 maintenance contract from the Royal Saudi
Air Force.

     Historic competitive selections, achievement of important program
milestones, establishment of long-term domestic and international partnerships,
continued implementation of advanced design and manufacturing methods, sensible
consolidation of facilities and the strength of the Skunk Works made 1996 an
exciting and rewarding year that bodes well for the Aeronautics Sector's
continued leadership in its core lines of business well into the 21st century.

                                                                              43

The F-22 air dominance fighter is a critical U.S. Air Force program. In 1996, 
major milestones were successfully met in F-22 construction when the wings, 
forward, mid and aft fuselages were mated. Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems 
and Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems are building this highly agile, 
stealthy fighter which, when deployed, will be vital to deterring armed conflict
or winning quickly and decisively with minimal casualties if fighting becomes 
necessary.

Energy & Environment

     The national laboratories have been aptly described as the jewels in
America's scientific crown. Lockheed Martin's Energy & Environment Sector
recorded a successful year in managing three of those jewels for the Department
of Energy, with the goal of creating a unified, cohesive system of laboratories.
As valuable national assets, the Department of Energy labs operated and managed
by Lockheed Martin continued to advance the frontiers of science and technology.

     Lockheed Martin pursued that aim in 1996 through continued attention to
streamlining management, reducing costs and strengthening core missions. In
addition, the Energy & Environment Sector last year broadened the cooperation
among the three labs; the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental
Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories. A
system-of-labs team was created to improve synergies, and integrate operations
in such areas as procurement, financial systems, training, environmental
management and construction, to name a few. We have made significant progress.
For example, the procurement team has already saved more than $4.5 million on
joint software development as the three labs leverage their combined buying
power.

     Instituting these changes brings the operations of the labs closer to those
of a business and it is that approach that will open the way for more
opportunities in the commercial marketplace. For example, last year, researchers
at Sandia and General Motors worked together to develop an economical way to
make durable aluminum engines by spraying a wear-resistant coating onto the
cylinder walls. Scientists at Sandia last year also made the world's first
working microelectronic device to be fabricated using extreme ultraviolet light.
The device, a common building block of all integrated circuits, is hundreds of
times smaller than the width of a human hair. A new era in computing is
unfolding at Sandia with tests of the teraflops, the fastest supercomputer in
the world. How fast is teraflops? It would take someone operating a hand-held
calculator about 30,000 years to calculate a problem the teraflops can compute
in a second.

     At Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers made significant breakthroughs
that may someday lead to night-vision cameras in commercial aircraft and
automobiles, similar to the night-vision equipment now used by military aircraft
pilots. Through a revolutionary Uncooled Microcantilever Infrared Camera
developed at Oak Ridge last year, the cost could be significantly reduced to
install such infrared night-vision imaging systems in automobiles, for example,
where such cameras would allow drivers to see past oncoming headlight glare and
beyond what they can see with headlights. The Department of Energy in 1996
awarded Lockheed Martin two-year extensions to manage and operate Oak Ridge
National Laboratory and the Oak Ridge Y-12 plant which is managed by Lockheed
Martin Energy Systems.

     The Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) and
Lockheed Martin Idaho Technologies, which operates the lab for the Department of
Energy, are engaged in some of the most advanced agricultural research in the
world. Only a few miles from Yellowstone National Park, the research involves
bringing together diverse technologies ranging from the Global Positioning
System to artificial intelligence. The goal is precision farming -- the
application of advanced technologies integrated into an agricultural system that
preserves resources and improves efficiency. By determining how all of the
technological tools work together, the INEEL team will build a system that
allows farmers to manage their crops better.

     With the end of the Cold War, the Department of Energy labs are finding
innovative ways to turn weapons technology into useful commercial products, as
well as safely store nuclear material. In 1996, the INEEL licensed a new
technology that turns a byproduct of nuclear weapons production into harmless
rock. The new material is ideal for concrete casks used to store the spent fuel
from commercial nuclear reactors.

     The Corporation's extensive technological capabilities and experience in
environmental remediation were instrumental in the Department of Energy's
decision

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, with funding from the Department of

carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases on a forested ecosystem. The
research should provide insight, for example, into how changes in climate affect
plant photosynthesis, and by extension, food production.

incorporated into automobile airbags or used to power an artificial heart.

to choose Lockheed Martin Advanced Environmental Systems as a member of one of
two teams to remediate the tank farms at the Hanford Site, a former plutonium
production facility in Washington state. The team is tasked with cleaning
Hanford's vast underground storage tanks under the Tank Waste Remediation System
program. Representing the first Department of Energy privatization contract in
Washington state, Lockheed Martin Advanced Environmental Systems will prepare
the one-time nuclear weapons program facility for a new post-Cold-War mission.
On a disappointing note, our contract with the Department of Energy to remediate
contaminated waste at the Pit 9 facility in Idaho still faces scheduling delays,
as well as significant technical and cost issues.
     After 40 years of producing components vital to the nation's nuclear
deterrent, Lockheed Martin Specialty Components was selected last year by the
Federal Aviation Administration to develop an advanced X-ray machine to
automatically detect, within five seconds, a wide range of explosives in airport
packages and luggage. Unlike its predecessors, the new system will see luggage
contents in three dimensions.
     Energy & Environment enters 1997 with a working system of Department of
Energy laboratories that is realizing savings through more efficient, dynamic
business management. Building on the technological capabilities throughout the
Corporation and the labs, Energy & Environment is well positioned to forge new
industrial and government partnerships to compete in a rapidly changing
marketplace. [_]

   Lockheed Martin Corporation (Lockheed Martin or the Corporation) is a highly
   diversified global enterprise principally engaged in the conception,
   research, design, development, manufacture and integration of advanced-
   technology products and services. The following discussion should be read in
   conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included
   herein.

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Business Combination with Loral Corporation

   On January 7, 1996, the Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of
   Merger (the Loral Merger Agreement) with Loral Corporation (Loral) pursuant
   to which the Corporation agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding
   shares of common stock of Loral (together with the associated preferred stock
   purchase rights) for an aggregate consideration of $38 per share in cash (the
   Tender Offer). The Tender Offer was made as part of a series of transactions
   that resulted in (i) the distribution to Loral stockholders of shares of
   capital stock in Loral Space & Communications, Ltd. (Loral SpaceCom), a
   newly-formed company, which now owns and manages substantially all of Loral's
   former space and satellite telecommunications interests, and (ii) the
   acquisition by the Corporation of Loral's defense electronics and systems
   integration businesses (collectively, the Loral Transaction). As a result of
   the Loral Transaction, Loral changed its name to Lockheed Martin Tactical
   Systems, Inc. (Tactical Systems) and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
   Corporation. The operations of Tactical Systems have been included in the
   results of operations of the Corporation from April 1, 1996.

       In connection with the Loral Transaction, the Corporation acquired shares
   of preferred stock of Loral SpaceCom that were convertible into 20 percent of
   Loral SpaceCom's common stock on a fully diluted basis at the acquisition
   date. The Corporation's ownership of the preferred stock of Loral SpaceCom is
   subject to certain limitations and restrictions set forth in the terms and
   conditions of the preferred stock and in agreements between the Corporation
   and Loral SpaceCom.

       The total purchase price paid with respect to the above transactions,
   including acquisition costs, was approximately $7.6 billion. The Loral
   Transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

       The funds for the consummation of the Loral Transaction were provided
   through the issuance of commercial paper by the Corporation and through
   borrowings under revolving credit facilities with a syndicate of commercial
   banks. Approximately $6.6 billion of commercial paper was issued and
   approximately $1 billion was borrowed under the revolving credit facilities
   to finance the Loral Transaction on the closing date. During the second
   quarter of 1996, the Corporation issued $5 billion of debt securities, the
   net proceeds from which were used to repay the $1 billion borrowed under the
   revolving credit facility and to reduce the amount of commercial paper
   outstanding.

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Repositioning of Non-Core Businesses

   On January 31, 1997, the Corporation signed a memorandum of understanding
   to reposition certain non-core business units as a new independent company
   (Newco). Under the proposed transaction, Lehman Brothers Capital Partners
   III, L.P., a merchant banking partnership associated with Lehman Brothers
   Holdings, will own 50.1 percent of the new company, Lockheed Martin will
   retain a 34.9 percent equity stake and the new company's management team
   will own the remaining 15 percent. The business units have approximately
   4,900 employees and combined 1996 annual revenues exceeding $650 million.
   The proposed transaction is subject to the parties entering into a
   mutually acceptable definitive purchase agreement, certain regulatory
   approvals and other customary conditions, and is expected to close during
   the first half of 1997.

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Results of Operations

   The Corporation's operating cycle is long-term and involves various types of
   production contracts and varying production delivery schedules. Accordingly,
   results of a particular year, or year-to-year comparisons of recorded sales
   and profits, may not be indicative of future operating results. The following
   comparative analysis should be viewed in this context.


                                                                              51

Management's Dicussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Continued



       The Corporation's consolidated results of operations for 1996 include
   the operations of Tactical Systems from April 1, 1996. On February 3, 1997,
   concurrent with the announcement of the proposed transaction with Newco, the
   Corporation announced a new organizational structure which reassigned
   management responsibility for certain business units. As a result, the
   Corporation's operations are now divided into five business segments: Space &
   Strategic Missiles; Electronics; Information & Services; Aeronautics; and
   Energy, Materials and Other. The operations of Tactical Systems have been
   reflected, for 1996 segment reporting purposes, in the Information &
   Services, Electronics, and Energy, Materials and Other segments. Prior year
   data has been reclassified to conform to the new structure.

       The Corporation's consolidated net sales for 1996 were a record $26.9
   billion. Net sales for the year were 18 percent greater than 1995 net sales,
   which in turn were relatively unchanged compared to 1994 net sales. The 1996
   increase principally resulted from the inclusion of the operations of
   Tactical Systems. This increase more than offset sales decreases in the
   Aeronautics segment. Sales increases for 1995 in the Space & Strategic
   Missiles segment and the Information & Services segment were largely offset
   by sales declines in the Aeronautics segment and the Electronics segment. The
   U.S. Government remained the Corporation's largest customer, comprising 70
   percent of the Corporation's net sales for 1996 compared to 69 percent in
   1995 and 72 percent in 1994.

   (a) Includes the effects of the April, 1996 business combination with Loral
   Corporation.
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

       The Corporation's operating profit (earnings before interest and taxes)
   was approximately $2.7 billion in 1996, which was significantly greater than
   the $1.4 billion reported in 1995 and the $2.0 billion reported in 1994.
   However, the reported amounts for each of the three years presented included
   the financial impacts of various nonrecurring events, the details of which
   are described below. Excluding the effects of these nonrecurring events for
   each year, operating profit for 1996 would have been approximately 29 percent
   greater than the 1995 amount, which in turn would have been approximately 14
   percent greater than the 1994 amount. A significant portion of the 1996
   increase resulted from the inclusion of the operations of Tactical Systems.
   Additional growth in operating profit in 1996 resulted from increases in
   the Space & Strategic Missiles and Electronics segments, slightly offset by
   declines in the Aeronautics segment.

       During the third quarter of 1996, the Corporation announced its
   intention to distribute via an exchange offer its remaining 81 percent
   interest in Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (Materials) to its stockholders
   (the Exchange Offer). Under the terms of the Exchange Offer, the
   Corporation's stockholders were given the opportunity to exchange each
   Lockheed Martin common share held for 4.72 common shares of Materials on a
   tax-free basis. The Exchange Offer expired by its terms on October 18, 1996
   and was oversubscribed. On October 23, 1996, approximately 7.9 million shares
   of the Corporation's common stock were exchanged for the 37.35 million shares
   of Materials common stock held by the Corporation. Upon the closing of this
   transaction, the Corporation had no remaining ownership interest in Materials
   and had reduced its common shares outstanding by approximately four percent.
   The Corporation recognized a pretax gain of $365 million related to this
   exchange in the fourth quarter of 1996.

       During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Corporation recorded nonrecurring
   pretax charges, net of state income tax benefits, of $307 million.
   Approximately one-half of the charges reflected the financial impacts of a
   conservative strategy on the part of the Corporation toward its environmental
   remediation business with regard to current business conditions, existing
   contractual issues on a Department of Energy (DOE) program and the pursuit of
   other environmental opportunities. The remaining charges resulted from a
   number of other corporate actions to improve efficiencies, increase
   competitiveness and focus on core businesses.

        During the first quarter of 1995, the Corporation recorded a pretax
   charge of $165 million for merger related expenses in connection with the
   formation of Lockheed Martin. During the second quarter of 1995, the
   Corporation recorded a pretax charge of $525 million in conjunction with a
   corporate-wide consolidation plan under which the Corporation would close
   certain facilities and laboratories and eliminate duplicative field offices
   in the U.S. and abroad, eliminating up to approximately 12,000 positions.
   This charge represented the portion of the accrued costs and net realizable
   value adjustments that were not probable of recovery.

        In February 1994, Materials sold through an initial public offering
   (IPO) approximately 8.8 million shares, or 19 percent of its common stock.
   A portion of the proceeds from the offering was used to defease in
   substance certain long-term debt. The Corporation recognized a pretax gain,
   net of a loss on debt defeasance, of $118 million from the Materials IPO.
   During March 1994, the Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of
   Merger with Grumman Corporation (Grumman) which was subsequently terminated
   by Grumman. In April 1994, the Corporation received $50 million plus
   reimbursement of expenses pursuant to the termination provisions of the
   Agreement and Plan of Merger.

        Reported net earnings for 1996 were approximately $1.3 billion, or $6.04
   per common share assuming full dilution. Both amounts represent increases
   from the reported 1995 net earnings of $682 million, or $3.05 per share, and

   from the reported 1994 net earnings of $1.0 billion, or $4.66 per share.
   However, the 1996 reported amounts include the after-tax effects of the
   Materials exchange and the provision for the after-tax effect of the
   Corporation's divestiture of its Armament Systems and Defense Systems
   business units which were sold to General Dynamics Corporation (General
   Dynamics). The latter transaction, which concluded with the Corporation's
   receipt of $450 million in cash on January 2, 1997, had no pretax effect on
   the results of operations for 1996. On a combined basis, the Materials
   exchange and the divestiture noted above increased net earnings by $351
   million, or $1.58 per share. The 1996 reported amounts also include the
   after-tax impact of the nonrecurring charges described above, which decreased
   net earnings by $209 million, or $.94 per share. The 1995 reported amounts
   include the after-tax effects of the merger related and consolidation charges
   identified above of $436 million, or $1.96 per share. The 1994 reported net
   earnings include the favorable after-tax effects of the Materials IPO ($70
   million, or $.32 per share), the Grumman termination fee ($30 million, or
   $.14 per share) and a charge due to the adoption of a change in accounting
   for ESOPs ($37 million, or $.17 per share). Excluding the effects of these
   nonrecurring items, net earnings for 1996 would have been approximately $1.2
   billion, or $5.40 per share, representing eight percent increases from the
   adjusted 1995 amounts of approximately $1.1 billion, or $5.01 per share. The
   1995 amounts, excluding the effects of the nonrecurring items, were 17
   percent and 15 percent greater, respectively, than the adjusted 1994 amounts
   of $955 million, or $4.37 per share.

       The Corporation's debt to capitalization ratio increased from 37 percent
   at December 31, 1995 to 63 percent at December 31, 1996, with total debt
   (including short-term borrowings) increasing from $3.7 billion to $11.5
   billion. As mentioned previously, this increase primarily represents funds
   borrowed to finance the Loral Transaction. Stockholders' equity increased
   from $6.4 billion at December 31, 1995 to nearly $6.9 billion at December 31,
   1996. The Corporation paid common dividends of $302 million in 1996, or $1.60
   per common share. The Corporation's backlog of undelivered orders exceeded
   $50 billion at the end of 1996.

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Industry Considerations

   The Corporation's primary lines of business are in high technology systems
   for aerospace and defense, serving both government and commercial customers.
   In recent years, domestic and worldwide political and economic developments
   have strongly affected these markets, requiring significant adaptation by
   market participants.

       Since the mid-1980s, the U.S. defense budget has declined significantly,
   with the procurement portion falling by more than two thirds in real terms.
   As a result of this long-term decline in demand, substantial overcapacity
   existed in the defense/aerospace industry. As with many industries, the
   response to such long-term declines in demand has been a combination of plant
   closings, consolidations and other actions that preserve an efficient
   industrial base. In recent years, the Justice Department and the Federal
   Trade Commission

                                                     Lockheed Martin Corporation




   have approved most defense/aerospace industry business combinations. Lockheed
   Martin has been at the forefront of the industry's rapid consolidation. Since
   1993, the Corporation has made several strategic acquisitions and alliances
   which affect many facets of its business, including tactical military
   aircraft production, space launch systems and defense and commercial
   electronics. These acquisitions are examples of actions that have broadened
   the Corporation's business portfolio, created opportunities for increased
   efficiency and cost competitiveness, improved access to new markets and
   reduced exposure to future defense budget program reductions. In addition,
   the Corporation has continued to undertake cost reduction efforts throughout
   its operating units while monitoring and adjusting employment levels
   consistent with changing business requirements. During 1996, the
   Corporation's efforts resulted in a number of wins in several significant
   competitions, including the Joint Strike Fighter, VentureStar(TM), Space
   Based Infrared System (SBIRS) and Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle programs,
   among others.

       Currently, the defense/aerospace industry is undergoing another phase of
   consolidation. In the past few months, The Boeing Company (Boeing) acquired
   the aerospace and defense businesses of Rockwell International Corporation,
   and has announced it will combine with McDonnell Douglas Corporation. Also,
   the Raytheon Company has announced it will acquire the military businesses of
   GM Hughes Electronics Corporation and Texas Instruments Corporation. The
   synergies which may result from these business combinations, if approved,
   could create more formidable competitors within the industry.

       The Corporation's executive management and Board of Directors continue to
   review and monitor the Corporation's strategic plans. These plans include
   assessing business combinations and joint ventures with companies engaged in
   similar or closely related businesses, building market share in core
   businesses and divesting less well-positioned and non-core businesses.
   Examples of recent actions include the Loral Transaction, the exchange of the
   remaining ownership interest in Materials, the divestiture of the Armament
   Systems and Defense Systems business units, the transition of Space Shuttle
   processing operations to United Space Alliance (USA), a joint venture with
   Boeing which has become NASA's prime Space Shuttle operations contractor, and
   the proposed transaction with Newco. It is important to note that the
   accounting implications of unconsolidated entities such as Newco and USA are
   markedly different from those of consolidated entities. The Corporation
   accounts for these unconsolidated entities under the equity method of
   accounting. Net sales and earnings from operations for such entities are not
   included in the consolidated amounts for the Corporation; instead, the
   Corporation's proportionate share of net earnings or losses from these
   entities are recorded as other income and expenses.

       To date, the Corporation's major programs generally have been well
   supported, but uncertainty exists over the size and scope of future defense
   and space budgets and their impact on specific programs. Some of the
   Corporation's programs have been delayed, curtailed or terminated, and
   future spending reductions and funding limitations could further impact
   these programs or have similar effects on other existing or emerging
   programs.

       As a U.S. Government contractor, the Corporation's government contracts
   and operations are subject to government oversight. The government may
   investigate and make inquiries of the Corporation's business practices and
   conduct audits of contract performance and cost accounting. These
   investigations may lead to claims against the Corporation. Under U.S.
   Government procurement regulations and practices, an indictment of a
   government contractor could result in that contractor being fined and/or
   suspended for a period of time from eligibility for bidding on, or for award
   of, new government contracts; a conviction could result in debarment for a
   specified period of time. 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.


                                                                              55

Continued


        The Corporation remains exposed to other inherent risks associated with
   U.S. Government contracting. These risks include technological uncertainties
   and obsolescence, changes in government policies and dependence on annual
   Congressional appropriation and allotment of funds.

        Progress has been made in expanding the Corporation's presence in
   related commercial and nondefense markets, most notably in space and
   telecommunications activities, information management and systems
   integration. Although these lines of business are not dependent on defense
   budgets, they share many of the risks associated with the Corporation's
   primary businesses, as well as others unique to the commercial marketplace.
   Such risks include development of competing products, technological
   feasibility, product obsolescence and the risks inherent in conducting
   business internationally.

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Discussion of Business Segments

   The Corporation's operations are divided into five business segments: Space &
   Strategic Missiles; Electronics; Information & Services; Aeronautics; and
   Energy, Materials and Other. As previously mentioned, the Corporation
   recently announced a new organizational structure that combined the Tactical
   Systems businesses with those of Lockheed Martin and reassigned certain
   heritage Lockheed Martin business units. The discussion of business segments
   that follows reflects this new structure. Certain amounts for the prior years
   have been reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation.

        The following table displays net sales for the Lockheed Martin business
   segments for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996
   which correspond to the segment information presented in Note 15 to the
   consolidated financial statements.

   to the Corporation's environmental remediation business and other corporate
   actions. The 1995 total reflects the merger related and consolidation
   expenses, while the 1994 total consists of the $118 million Materials IPO
   gain and the receipt of the $50 million acquisition termination fee from the
   proposed Grumman acquisition.

</TABLE>  

[ ] Space & Strategic Missiles -- Net sales of the Space & Strategic Missiles
    segment increased by one percent in 1996 compared to 1995 and by 12 percent
    in 1995 compared to 1994. Increases in commercial satellite volume and
    classified program activities in 1996 were largely offset by the timing of
    Atlas II and Atlas E launches (seven successful launches in 1996 versus
    twelve in 1995) and from reduced volume on the Trident fleet ballistic
    missile program. The increase in 1995 compared to 1994 can be attributed
    primarily to the inclusion for the full year of the former Space Systems
    Division of General Dynamics, which the Corporation acquired on May 1, 1994.
    The operations of this unit consisted primarily of the Atlas launch services
    program, which recorded 12 successful launches in 1995 versus four launches
    in the eight months of 1994 when the program results were included in the
    Corporation's results of operations. The 1995 net sales were also favorably
    impacted by an increase in activity in various classified programs
    throughout the segment.

        Operating profit for the segment increased by 37 percent in 1996
   compared to 1995 and by 47 percent in 1995 compared to 1994. The increase in
   1996 was attributable to the increases in commercial satellite volume and
   classified program activities discussed above, margin expansion from improved
   cost performance on the Corporation's Titan and Atlas launch vehicle programs
   and timing of the recognition of award and incentive fees on certain space
   programs. The 1995 increase was attributable to the inclusion of the Atlas
   launch services program for the full year, the receipt of a favorable
   settlement resulting from the termination of the Advanced Solid Rocket Motor
   program and the inclusion of charges in 1994 related to certain fixed-price
   programs, including a charge of $22 million related to the cancellation and
   final settlement on the Mobile Satellite Antenna subcontract and charges
   totaling $43 million related to a military command, control and communication
   program for a foreign government.

[ ] Electronics -- Net sales of the Electronics segment doubled in 1996 compared
    to 1995, due to the inclusion of the operations of certain Tactical Systems
    companies since April 1, 1996. Excluding the operations of the Tactical
    Systems companies, 1996 net sales for the segment increased by 12 percent
    compared to 1995. This increase was principally attributable to volume
    increases in a variety of government and commercial electronics programs and
    the inclusion of the operations of the aircraft controls business formerly
    owned by General Electric Company, which was acquired in the fourth quarter
    of 1995. Net sales for 1995 decreased by 17 percent compared to 1994 as a
    result of volume decreases in various programs, particularly in the AEGIS
    surface ship combat systems program and the AN/BSY-2 submarine combat system
    program. In addition, the 1995 sales performance represented an expected
    transition at certain business units from mature production programs into
    new development programs.

        Operating profit for the segment increased by 112 percent in 1996 due to
    the inclusion of the operations of the Tactical Systems companies discussed
    above. Excluding the operations of the Tactical Systems companies, operating
    profit in 1996 for the segment increased by 28 percent compared to 1995.
    This increase was principally the result of the production volume increases
    discussed above as well as the inclusion in 1995 of contract charges related
    to the LANTIRN program close-out. Operating profit in 1995 decreased by

                                                                              57

    30 percent compared to 1994, reflecting the sales volume decreases described
    previously, the negative earnings implications of contract charges related
    to the LANTIRN program close-out and from investments in new businesses, and
    substantial completion of subcontract activities on the Patriot and other
    mature production programs.

[ ] Information & Services -- Net sales of the Information & Services segment
    increased by 40 percent in 1996 compared to 1995 due to the inclusion of the
    operations of certain Tactical Systems companies since April 1, 1996.
    Excluding the operations of the Tactical Systems companies, 1996 net sales
    for the segment were comparable to 1995 levels. Increases in commercial
    product distribution activities in 1996 were largely offset by the transfer
    of the Corporation's contracts for Space Shuttle processing operations to
    USA during 1996, as mentioned above. Net sales for 1995 increased by five
    percent compared to 1994 due to increases in sales for commercial product
    manufacturing and distribution activities and in information management
    activities.

        Operating profit for the segment increased by 12 percent in 1996 due to
    the inclusion of the operations of the Tactical Systems companies discussed
    above. However, excluding the operations of the Tactical Systems companies,
    operating profit in 1996 for the segment decreased by 30 percent compared to
    1995. This decrease was principally the result of charges taken in the
    current year related to certain information systems contracts and accounts,
    and from losses taken at two of the Corporation's subsidiaries. Operating
    profit in 1995 increased by 36 percent compared to 1994, reflecting
    increased award fee recognition, the impact of sales volume increases and
    improvements in margin performance throughout the segment.

[ ] Aeronautics -- Net sales of the Aeronautics segment decreased by 15 percent
    in 1996 compared to 1995, and by seven percent in 1995 compared to 1994. The
    net sales decreases in both years were principally due to fewer deliveries
    of F-16 fighter aircraft and C-130 airlift aircraft. Net sales for 1995
    reflect the delivery of eight P-3 maritime patrol aircraft to the Republic
    of Korea. There were no comparable deliveries of P-3 aircraft in 1996 or
    1994.

        Operating profit decreased by eight percent in 1996 compared to 1995 as
    a result of the volume decreases discussed above. Operating profit in 1995
    increased by four percent compared to 1994 despite the sales decrease for
    that period, primarily as a result of recognition of earnings related to the
    P-3 aircraft deliveries, which more than offset the 1995 increase in C-130J
    development costs, and the inclusion in 1994 of charges taken against
    earnings in connection with the Pratt & Whitney fan reverser program.

[ ] Energy, Materials and Other -- Net sales of this segment decreased by ten
    percent in 1996 compared to 1995 after increasing by 16 percent in 1995
    compared to 1994. The 1996 net sales decrease was principally the result of
    the divestiture of Materials during the fourth quarter of 1996 as described
    above. The 1995 increase reflected the January 1995 Materials acquisition of
    the construction aggregates business of Dravo Corporation as well as the
    commencement of activities under the Idaho National Engineering and
    Environmental Laboratory Management and Operations and Pit 9 contracts in
    the fourth quarter of 1994.

        Operating profit for this segment decreased by five percent in 1996
    compared to 1995. Losses on certain of the Corporation's environmental 
    programs were largely offset by gains from the sale of a portion of the
    Corporation's investment portfolio. Operating profit increased by 44
    percent in 1995 compared to 1994 due to the inclusion of a full year of
    activities under the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental
    Laboratory Management and Operations contract and earnings growth from
    increased production volume at Materials.

   Total Space & Strategic Missiles backlog increased by eight percent in 1996
   compared to 1995 and by two percent in 1995 compared to 1994. The increase
   in 1996 occurred principally from new orders received for Titan, Atlas and
   Proton launch vehicle services and the SBIRS program. The increase in 1995
   occurred principally because of growth in new orders for classified
   programs.

   (a) Includes the effect of the April, 1996 business combination with Loral
   Corporation.
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

        In the Electronics segment, total backlog more than doubled in 1996
   compared to 1995 due to the addition of the backlog of the Tactical Systems
   companies acquired in 1996. Excluding the acquired backlog of the Tactical
   Systems companies, backlog in 1996 for the segment decreased by three percent
   compared to 1995. This decrease was principally the result of the net effect
   of close-outs of completed government electronics contracts during the year.
   Total backlog for 1995 increased by four percent compared to 1994. The
   primary reasons for the 1995 increase were key new awards for U.K. Apache
   helicopter night vision/fire control systems, HYDRA-70 munitions and
   electronic warfare countermeasures.

        Total Information & Services backlog increased by 114 percent in 1996
   compared to 1995 due to the addition of the backlog of the Tactical Systems
   companies acquired in 1996. Excluding the acquired backlog of the Tactical
   Systems companies, backlog in 1996 for the segment increased by 25 percent
   compared to 1995. This increase was principally the result of new
   information management services contract awards. Total backlog for 1995
   decreased by five percent compared to 1994, primarily caused by reduced
   contract volume in the segment's space shuttle processing program. Total
   backlog for this segment will be negatively impacted in 1997 as a result of
   the pending divestiture of the business units that will compose Newco.

        In the Aeronautics segment, total backlog decreased by nine percent in
   1996 compared to 1995 and by eight percent in 1995 compared to 1994. In both
   years, F-16 fighter aircraft backlog decreased, primarily reflecting
   deliveries of aircraft exceeding new orders. Decreases in backlog for the F-
   22 air dominance fighter aircraft program, currently in the development
   phase, also contributed to the 1996 decrease. In 1995, this decrease was
   partially offset by the receipt of orders from the United Kingdom and
   Australia to provide 37 C-130J airlift aircraft, with options for 58
   additional aircraft for those two nations and New Zealand. It should be noted
   that Aeronautics' backlog at December 31, 1996 does not include activity
   related to the VentureStar(TM) and Joint Strike Fighter program wins due to
   their unique nature as cooperative research agreements and developmental

                                                                              59

    prototype activities. These two programs combined would have generated
    orders of $1.5 billion in 1996 if reported on an equivalent basis.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Liquidity and Cash Flows

    Cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1.6 billion in
    1996, compared with $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion of cash provided in 1995
    and 1994, respectively. As in the prior years, positive cash flows were
    derived in large part from operating profits before deducting non-cash
    charges for depreciation and amortization of property and intangible assets,
    offset in part by working capital increases. The 1996 and 1995 amounts also
    include the effect of merger related and consolidation payments of $244
    million and $208 million, respectively.

    (a) Includes the effects of the April, 1996 business combination with Loral 
    Corporation.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Cash used for investing activities was approximately $8.0 billion in
    1996, a significant increase from the $699 million and $502 million reported
    in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Corporation used approximately $7.3
    billion of cash in 1996 to finance the Loral Transaction. Also, additions to
    property, plant and equipment, net of purchased operations, were 47 percent
    higher in 1996 compared to 1995, reflecting the inclusion of the capital
    spending activity of the Tactical Systems business units as well as
    approximately $150 million related to the Lockheed Martin integration and
    consolidation program. The 1995 amount was approximately two percent lower
    than the comparable 1994 amount. The Corporation continually monitors its
    capital spending in relation to current and anticipated business needs.
    Facilities are added, consolidated, modernized or disposed of as business
    circumstances dictate.

        Approximately $5.7 billion of cash was provided by financing activities
    during 1996, compared with cash used for financing activities of $579
    million in 1995 and $718 million in 1994. Approximately $7.6 billion of
    indebtedness was incurred in 1996 in connection with the consummation of the
    Loral Transaction through the issuance of commercial paper by the
    Corporation and through borrowings under a revolving credit facility which
    existed at that time. The Corporation subsequently issued $5 billion of 
    long-term debt securities, the entire amount registered under the
    Corporation's shelf registration statement which became effective on May 10,
    1996, using the net proceeds to repay the $1 billion borrowed under the
    credit facility and to reduce the amount of commercial paper outstanding.
    These debt securities are guaranteed by Tactical Systems. Approximately $180
    million of long-term debt will mature in 1997.

        During the second quarter of 1996, the Corporation's Board of Directors
    terminated the systematic common stock repurchase plan which had been
    established in 1995 to counter the future dilutive effect of common stock
    issued by the Corporation under its 1995 Omnibus Performance Award Plan. A
    separate program authorized in 1995 for the repurchase of up to nine million
    common shares to counter the dilutive effect of common stock issued under
    the Corporation's other benefit and compensation programs and for other
    purposes related to such plans remains in effect. Approximately 2.3 million
    common shares were repurchased by the Corporation in 1995 for approximately
    $150 million; no shares were repurchased in 1996.

        The Corporation receives advances on certain contracts and uses them to
    finance the inventories required to complete the contracted work.
    Approximately $2.4 billion of advances related to work in process at
    December 31, 1996 have been received from customers and were recorded as
    reductions of inventories in the Corporation's consolidated financial
    statements. In addition, advances of approximately $2.6 billion at the end
    of 1996 have been recognized as current liabilities, mostly related to
    contracts with foreign governments and commercial customers.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Capital Structure and Resources

    Long-term debt, including current maturities, increased to approximately
    $10.4 billion at the end of 1996 from approximately $3.7 billion at the end
    of 1995. Total debt (including short-term borrowings) represented
    approximately 63 percent of total capitalization at December 31, 1996,
    compared with 37 percent at December 31, 1995. Most of the Corporation's
    debt is in the form of publicly issued, fixed-rate Notes Payable and
    Debentures. Included in long-term debt at December 31, 1996 are $1.2 billion
    of debt obligations of the former Loral Corporation. Stockholders' equity
    grew to nearly $6.9 billion at December 31, 1996 from approximately $6.4
    billion one year ago. Stockholders' equity activity for 1996 included a
    reduction of $750 million in connection with the exchange of the
    Corporation's common stock for its Materials shares.

        During 1996, in contemplation of the Loral Transaction, the Corporation
    arranged revolving credit facilities of $10 billion through a syndicate of
    commercial banks. The credit facilities consisted of a 364-day unsecured
    revolving credit facility in the amount of $5 billion (the Short-Term Credit
    Facility) and a 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the amount of
    $5 billion (the 5-Year Credit Facility). In connection with the
    establishment of these credit facilities, the Corporation and Loral each
    terminated their previously existing revolving credit facilities.

        Approximately $6.6 billion of commercial paper was issued and
    approximately $1 billion was borrowed under the 5-Year Credit Facility to
    finance the Loral Transaction on the closing date. As stated previously, the
    Corporation issued $5 billion in debt securities during the second quarter
    of 1996, the net proceeds from which were used to repay the $1 billion
    borrowed under the 5-Year Credit Facility and to reduce the amount of 
    commercial paper outstanding. On July 26, 1996, the Corporation terminated
    the Short-Term Credit Facility. On December 20, 1996, the Corporation
    amended its 5-Year Credit Facility to reduce the amount from $5 billion to
    $3.5 billion (the Amended 5-Year Credit Facility). The Corporation also
    entered into a one-year credit facility in the amount of $1.5 billion
    (together, the Credit Facilities).

        No borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facilities at December
    31, 1996. However, the Amended 5-Year Credit Facility supports commercial
    paper borrowings of approximately $2.4 billion outstanding at December 31,
    1996. Of this amount, $1.25 billion has been classified as long-term debt in
    the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet based on management's ability
    and intention to maintain this debt outstanding for at least one year. On
    January 2, 1997, the Corporation received $450 million in connection with
    the sale of its Armament Systems and Defense Systems business units to
    General Dynamics. The net proceeds were used to further reduce the amount of
    commercial paper outstanding.

        During the third quarter of 1996, the Corporation entered into interest
    rate swap agreements to fix the interest rates on $875 million of its
    commercial paper borrowings. These agreements will mature during 1997. The
    Corporation is exposed to the risk of nonperformance by the intermediaries
    to those agreements, though such nonperformance is not anticipated.

        The Corporation has entered into standby letter of credit agreements and
    other arrangements with financial institutions primarily relating to the
    guarantee of future performance on certain contracts. In connection with the
    Loral Transaction, the Corporation assumed the obligations of Loral as
    guarantor under the Revolving Credit Agreement of Globalstar, L.P., an
    affiliate of Loral SpaceCom, up to a maximum principal amount of $250
    million, subject to the assumption by certain of the Globalstar partners of
    a portion of the Corporation's obligations as guarantor. At 

                                                                              61

    December 31, 1996, the Corporation had contingent liabilities on outstanding
    letters of credit, guarantees and other arrangements aggregating
    approximately $1.5 billion.

        Cash on hand and temporarily invested, internally generated funds, and
    available financing resources as detailed above are expected to be
    sufficient to meet the anticipated operating, consolidation and debt service
    requirements, discretionary investment needs and capital expenditures of the
    Corporation. Consistent with the Corporation's desire to generate cash to
    reduce debt, management anticipates that, subject to prevailing financial,
    market and economic conditions, the Corporation may divest other non-core
    businesses or surplus properties. The pending transaction with Newco, which
    management estimates will generate cash in excess of $400 million, is
    expected to close during the first half of 1997.


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Environmental Matters

    As more fully described in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements,
    the Corporation entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Environmental
    Protection Agency (EPA) relating to certain property in Burbank, California,
    which obligated the Corporation to design and construct facilities to
    monitor, extract and treat groundwater, and to operate and maintain such
    facilities for approximately eight years. A second consent decree is being
    finalized which will obligate the Corporation to fund the continued
    operation and maintenance of these facilities through the year 2018. The
    Corporation has also been operating under a cleanup and abatement order from
    the California Regional Water Quality Control Board affecting its Burbank
    facilities. This order requires site assessment and action to abate
    groundwater contamination by a combination of groundwater and soil cleanup
    and treatment. Anticipated future costs for these projects are estimated to
    approximate $200 million.

        The Corporation is performing an environmental investigation in
    Redlands, California under two administrative orders from the California
    Regional Water Quality Control Board (Santa Ana Region). These orders
    require assessment of the former Lockheed Propulsion Company (LPC)
    facilities in Redlands, as well as assessment of a plume of groundwater
    contamination in the vicinity of the former facilities. Investigation to
    date has failed to reveal any significant contamination at the former LPC
    site, and the Corporation contests that it is responsible for the
    groundwater plume which is not contiguous to the site. Nonetheless, the
    Corporation is complying with the orders and is working with local water
    purveyors to assure that public water supplies are maintained.

        The Corporation records appropriate financial statement accruals for
    environmental issues in the period in which liability is established and the
    amounts can be reasonably estimated. In addition to the matters with respect
    to the Burbank property described above, the Corporation has accrued
    approximately $340 million at December 31, 1996 for other matters in which
    an estimate of financial exposure could be determined. 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 Corporation is a party to various proceedings and potential
    proceedings related to environmental clean-up issues, including matters at
    various sites where it has been designated a Potentially Responsible Party
    (PRP) by the EPA or by a state agency. In the event the Corporation is
    ultimately found to have liability at those 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 PRPs. Generally, PRPs
    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
    
62

                                                     Lockheed Martin Corporation


    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 governmental 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 matters.
    The Corporation is currently 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.

        In 1994, the Corporation was awarded a $180 million fixed price contract
    by the DOE for the Phase II design, construction and limited test of
    remediation facilities, and the Phase III full remediation of waste found in
    Pit 9, located on the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental
    Laboratory reservation. The Corporation has incurred and continues to incur
    significant unanticipated costs and schedule impacts due to complex
    technical and contractual matters which threaten the viability of the
    overall Pit 9 program. The Corporation is currently working to identify and
    quantify the overall effects, including the financial impact, of these
    matters, and discussions with the DOE are continuing; however, no resolution
    of these technical and contractual matters has been achieved to date. Upon
    completion of the Corporation's investigation into the circumstances which
    gave rise to these schedule, technical and cost issues, the Corporation will
    provide the DOE an appropriate request for equitable adjustment. The total
    amount of such request for equitable adjustment has not yet been determined.

The Corporation's Responsibility

for Financial Reporting



        The management of Lockheed Martin Corporation prepared and is
   responsible for the consolidated financial statements and all related
   financial information contained in this report. The consolidated financial
   statements, which include amounts based on estimates and judgments, have been
   prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied
   on a consistent basis.

        The Corporation maintains a system of internal accounting controls
   designed and intended to provide reasonable assurance that assets are
   safeguarded, transactions are properly executed and recorded in accordance
   with management's authorization, and accountability for assets is maintained.
   An environment that establishes an appropriate level of control consciousness
   is maintained and monitored and includes examinations by an internal audit
   staff and by the independent auditors in connection with their annual audit.

        The Corporation's management recognizes its responsibility to foster a
   strong ethical climate. Management has issued written policy statements which
   document the Corporation's business code of ethics. The importance of ethical
   behavior is regularly communicated to all employees through the distribution
   of written codes of ethics and standards of business conduct and through
   ongoing education and review programs designed to create a strong compliance
   environment.

        The Audit and Ethics Committee of the Board of Directors is composed of
   eight outside directors. This Committee meets periodically with the
   independent auditors, internal auditors and management to review their
   activities.

        The consolidated financial statements have been audited by Ernst & Young
   LLP, independent auditors, whose report follows.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP,

Independent Auditors



   Board of Directors and Stockholders
   Lockheed Martin Corporation

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Lockheed
   Martin Corporation as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
   consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
   each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These
   financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management.
   Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 Lockheed Martin Corporation at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
   consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
   three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
   generally accepted accounting principles. 

        The Corporation changed its method of accounting for Employee Stock
   Ownership Plans effective January 1, 1994 as discussed in Note 1 to the
   consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1996




   =============================================================================
   Note 1 -- Summary of Significant
   Accounting Policies

[ ]Organization -- Lockheed Martin Corporation (Lockheed Martin or the
   Corporation) is engaged in the design, manufacture, integration and operation
   of a broad array of products and services ranging from aircraft, spacecraft
   and launch vehicles to energy management, missiles, electronics, and
   information systems. The Corporation serves customers in both domestic and
   international defense and civilian markets, with its principal customers
   being agencies of the U.S. Government.

[ ]Basis of consolidation and use of estimates -- The consolidated financial
   statements include the accounts of wholly-owned and majority-owned
   subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
   eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of consolidated financial
   statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
   requires management to make estimates and assumptions, in particular
   estimates of anticipated contract costs and revenues utilized in the earnings
   recognition process, that affect the reported amounts in the financial
   statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
   estimates.

[ ]Classifications -- Receivables and inventories are primarily attributable to
   long-term contracts or programs in progress for which the related operating
   cycles are longer than one year. In accordance with industry practice, these
   items are included in current assets.

        Certain amounts for the prior years have been reclassified to conform
   with the 1996 presentation.

[ ]Cash and cash equivalents -- Cash and cash equivalents are net of outstanding
   checks that are funded daily as presented for payment. Cash equivalents are
   generally comprised of highly liquid instruments with maturities of three
   months or less when purchased. Due to the short maturity of these
   instruments, carrying value on the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet
   approximates fair value.

[ ]Inventories -- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net
   realizable value. Costs on long-term contracts and programs in progress
   represent recoverable costs incurred for production, allocable operating
   overhead, and, where appropriate, research and development and general and
   administrative expenses, less amounts attributed to cost of sales. Pursuant
   to contract provisions, agencies of the U.S. Government and other customers
   have title to, or a security interest in, certain inventories as a result of
   progress payments and advances. General and administrative expenses related
   to commercial products and services provided essentially under commercial
   terms and conditions are expensed as incurred. Costs of other product and
   supply inventories are principally determined by the first-in, first-out or
   average cost methods.

[ ]Property, plant and equipment -- Property, plant and equipment are carried
   principally at cost. Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment
   generally using accelerated methods of depreciation during the first half of
   the estimated useful lives of the assets; thereafter, straight-line
   depreciation generally is used. Estimated useful lives generally range from 8
   years to 40 years for buildings and 2 years to 20 years for machinery and
   equipment.

[ ]Intangible assets -- Intangible assets related to contracts and programs
   acquired are amortized over the estimated periods of benefit (15 years or
   less) and are displayed on the consolidated balance sheet net of accumulated
   amortization of $505 million and $400 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
   respectively. Cost in excess of net assets acquired (goodwill) is amortized
   ratably over appropriate periods, primarily 40 years, and is displayed on the
   consolidated balance sheet net of accumulated amortization of $617 million
   and $438 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The carrying
   values of intangible assets are reviewed if the facts and circumstances
   indicate potential impairment of their carrying value, and any impairment
   determined is recorded in the current period.

[ ]Environmental matters -- The Corporation records a liability for
   environmental matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred
   and the amount can be reasonably estimated. A substantial portion of these
   costs are expected to be reflected in sales and cost of sales pursuant to
   U.S. Government agreement or regulation. At the time a liability is recorded
   for future environmental costs, an asset is recorded for estimated future
   recovery considered probable through the pricing of products and services to
   agencies of the U.S. Government. The portion of those costs expected to be
   allocated to commercial business is reflected in costs and expenses at the
   time the liability is established.

[ ]Sales and earnings -- Sales and anticipated profits under long-term
   fixed-price production contracts are recorded on a percentage of completion
   basis, generally using units of delivery as the measurement basis for effort
   accomplished. Estimated contract profits are taken into earnings in
   proportion to recorded sales. Sales under certain long-term fixed-price
   contracts which, among other things, provide for the delivery of minimal
   quantities or require a significant amount of development effort in relation
   to total contract value, are recorded using the percentage of completion
   cost-to-cost method of accounting where sales and profits are recorded based
   on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion.

        Sales under cost-reimbursement-type contracts are recorded as costs are
   incurred. Applicable estimated profits are included in earnings in the
   proportion that incurred costs bear to total estimated costs. Sales of
   products and services provided essentially under commercial terms and
   conditions are recorded upon shipment or completion of specified tasks.

        Amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items are
   included in sales only when they can be reliably estimated and realization is
   probable. Incentives or penalties and awards applicable to performance on
   contracts are considered in estimating sales and profit rates, and are
   recorded when there is 

70

                                                     Lockheed Martin Corporation

   sufficient information to assess anticipated contract performance. Incentive
   provisions which increase or decrease earnings based solely on a single
   significant event are generally not recognized until the event occurs.

        When adjustments in contract value or estimated costs are determined,
   any changes from prior estimates are reflected in earnings in the current
   period. Anticipated losses on contracts or programs in progress are charged
   to earnings when identified.

[ ]Research and development and similar costs -- Corporation-sponsored research
   and development costs primarily include research and development and bid and
   proposal effort related to government products and services. Except for
   certain arrangements described below, these costs are generally included as
   part of the general and administrative costs that are allocated among all
   contracts and programs in progress under U.S. Government contractual
   arrangements. Corporation-sponsored product development costs not otherwise
   allocable are charged to expense when incurred. Under certain arrangements in
   which a customer shares in product development costs, the Corporation's
   portion of such unreimbursed costs is expensed as incurred. Customer-
   sponsored research and development costs incurred pursuant to contracts are
   accounted for as contract costs.

[ ]Derivative financial instruments -- The Corporation uses derivative financial
   instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and
   foreign exchange rates. The Corporation designates its interest rate swap
   agreements as hedges of specific debt instruments and recognizes the interest
   differentials as adjustments to interest expense over the terms of the
   related debt obligations. Forward exchange contracts are also designated as
   qualifying hedges of firm commitments or specific anticipated transactions.
   Gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in income when the hedged
   transactions occur. At December 31, 1996, the amounts of forward exchange
   contracts outstanding, as well as the amounts of gains and losses recorded
   during the year, were not material. The Corporation does not hold or issue
   financial instruments for trading purposes.

[ ]Earnings per common share -- Earnings per common share were based on the
   weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
   Earnings per common share, assuming no dilution, were computed based on net
   earnings less the dividend requirement for preferred stock. The weighted
   average number of common shares outstanding, assuming no dilution, was
   approximately 189.1 million in 1996, 189.3 million in 1995 and 187.0 million
   in 1994.

        Earnings per common share, assuming full dilution, were computed
   assuming 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 223.0 million in 1996,
   223.2 million in 1995 and 218.3 million in 1994.

[ ]Accounting Changes -- Effective January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted
   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for
   the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
   Of." SFAS No. 121 requires that certain long-lived assets to be held and used
   be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
   indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
   Additionally, SFAS No. 121 requires that certain long-lived assets to be
   disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less
   costs to sell. The impact of the adoption of this standard was not material
   to the Corporation's consolidated earnings or financial position.

        Also in 1996, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
   Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 allows companies to continue to
   measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans using
   the intrinsic value method of accounting as prescribed in Accounting
   Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
   Employees," and related interpretations. The Corporation has elected to
   continue its APB Opinion No. 25 accounting treatment for stock-based
   compensation, and has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 requiring
   disclosure of the pro forma effect on net earnings and earnings per share as
   if compensation cost had been recognized based upon the estimated fair value
   at the date of grant for options awarded.

        The Corporation elected to adopt, effective January 1, 1994, the
   American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position
   (SOP) No. 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans,"
   to account for its Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs). SOP No. 93-6
   requires that unallocated common shares held by an ESOP trust be considered
   outstanding for voting and other Corporate purposes, but excluded from
   weighted average outstanding shares in calculating earnings per share.
   Adoption of this accounting method resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment
   which reduced net earnings for 1994 by $37 million, or $.17 per common share
   assuming full dilution. For 1996, 1995 and 1994, the weighted average
   unallocated ESOP shares excluded in calculating earnings per share totalled
   approximately 9.1 million, 10.3 million and 11.5 million common shares,
   respectively.

   Note 2 -- Business Combination
   with Loral Corporation

   On January 7, 1996, the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LAC
   Acquisition Corporation (LAC), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
   (the Loral Merger Agreement) with Loral Corporation (Loral) pursuant to
   which LAC agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of
   common stock of Loral (together with the associated preferred stock purchase
   rights) for an aggregate consideration of $38 per share in cash (the Tender
   Offer). The Tender Offer was made as part of a series of transactions that
   resulted in (i) the distribution to stockholders of Loral immediately prior
   to the consummation of the Tender Offer of 

                                                                              71

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

   shares of capital stock in Loral Space & Communications, Ltd. (Loral
   SpaceCom), a newly-formed company, which now owns and manages substantially
   all of Loral's former space and satellite telecommunications interests, and
   (ii) the acquisition by the Corporation of Loral's defense electronics and
   systems integration businesses (collectively, the Loral Transaction).

        In accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer and the Loral Merger
   Agreement, on April 23, 1996, LAC purchased approximately 94.5 percent of the
   outstanding shares of common stock of Loral. Subsequent to the consummation
   of the Tender Offer, on April 29, 1996, LAC merged with and into Loral and
   each remaining share of common stock of Loral not owned by LAC was converted
   into the right to receive $38. Each outstanding share of common stock of LAC
   was converted into shares of common stock of Loral, and Loral changed its
   name to Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems, Inc. (Tactical Systems). As a
   result of these transactions, Tactical Systems became a wholly-owned
   subsidiary of the Corporation. The operations of Tactical Systems have been
   included in the results of operations of the Corporation from April 1, 1996.

        In connection with the above transactions, the Corporation acquired
   shares of preferred stock of Loral SpaceCom that were convertible into 20
   percent of Loral SpaceCom's common stock on a fully diluted basis at the
   acquisition date. The Corporation's ownership of the preferred stock of Loral
   SpaceCom is subject to certain limitations and restrictions set forth in the
   terms and conditions of the preferred stock and in agreements between the
   Corporation and Loral SpaceCom.

        The total purchase price paid with respect to the above transactions,
   including acquisition costs, was approximately $7.6 billion. The Loral
   Transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
   Purchase accounting adjustments have been recorded to allocate the purchase
   price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair values at the
   date of acquisition. A summary of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
   follows:

</TABLE> 

        The funds for the consummation of the Loral Transaction were provided
   through the issuance of commercial paper by the Corporation and through
   borrowings under revolving credit facilities with a syndicate of commercial
   banks. These credit facilities consisted of a 364-day unsecured revolving
   credit facility in the amount of $5 billion (the Short-Term Credit Facility)
   and a 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the amount of $5 billion
   (the 5-Year Credit Facility). In connection with the establishment of these
   credit facilities, the Corporation and Loral each terminated their previously
   existing revolving credit facilities. Approximately $6.6 billion of
   commercial paper was issued and approximately $1 billion was borrowed under
   the 5-Year Credit Facility to finance the Loral Transaction on the closing
   date. During the second quarter of 1996, the Corporation issued $5 billion of
   debt securities. The net proceeds from the sale of the debt securities were
   used to repay the $1 billion borrowed under the 5-Year Credit Facility and to
   reduce the amount of commercial paper outstanding. On July 26, 1996, the
   Corporation terminated the Short-Term Credit Facility. The Corporation
   amended its 5-Year Credit Facility on December 20, 1996. (See Note 8.)

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Note 3 -- Repositioning of Non-Core Businesses and New Organizational
   Structure

   On January 31, 1997, the Corporation entered into a memorandum of
   understanding under which certain of its non-core business units will be
   repositioned as a new independent company. These business units, which are
   primarily composed of high-technology, product-oriented companies,
   contributed approximately 2% of the Corporation's 1996 consolidated net
   sales. The Corporation will retain a 34.9% interest in the new company.

        The proposed transaction is subject to the parties entering into a
   mutually acceptable definitive purchase agreement, regulatory approvals, and
   other customary conditions, and is expected to close during the first half
   of 1997.

        On February 3, 1997, concurrent with the announcement of this
   transaction, the Corporation announced a new organizational structure which
   reassigned management responsibility for certain business units. As a
   result, the Corporation's operations are now divided into five business
   segments. The operations of Tactical Systems have been reflected, for 1996
   segment reporting purposes, in the Electronics, Information & Services, and
   Energy, Materials and Other segments. The segment data displayed in Note 15
   has been presented in accordance with the new structure, and prior year data
   has been reclassified to conform to the new presentation.

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Note 4 -- Restructuring and Other Charges

   During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Corporation recorded nonrecurring
   pretax charges, net of state income tax benefits, of $307 million, which
   decreased net earnings by $209 million, or $.94 per common share assuming
   full dilution. Approximately one-half of the charges reflected the financial
   impacts of a conservative strategy on the part of the Corporation toward its
   environmental remediation business with regard to current business
   conditions, existing contractual issues on a Department of Energy (DOE)
   program, and the pursuit of other environmental opportunities. The remaining
   charges resulted from a number of other corporate actions to improve
   efficiencies, increase competitiveness and focus on core businesses.

        During the first quarter of 1995, the Corporation recorded a pretax
   charge of $165 million for merger related expenses in connection with the
   formation of Lockheed Martin. During the second quarter of 1995, the
   Corporation recorded a pretax charge of $525 million in conjunction with a
   corporate-wide consolidation plan under which the Corporation would close
   certain facilities and laboratories and eliminate duplicative field offices
   in the U.S. and abroad, eliminating up to approximately 12,000 positions. The
   charge represented the portion of the accrued costs and net realizable value
   adjustments that were not probable of recovery. The after-tax effect of these
   charges was $436 million, or $1.96 per common share assuming full dilution.
   As of December 31, 1996, cumulative merger related and consolidation payments
   were approximately $452 million, which primarily relate to the formation of
   the Corporation, the elimination of positions and the closure of foreign and
   domestic offices and facilities.

        During 1996, the Corporation incurred costs anticipated in the 1995
   consolidation plan which had not met the requirements for accrual earlier.
   These costs include relocation of personnel and programs, retraining, process
   re-engineering and certain capital expenditures, among others. Management
   estimates that, consistent with the original 1995 consolidation plan, $750
   million of such costs will be incurred in the future, and currently
   anticipates that the remaining consolidation actions will be substantially
   completed by the end of 1998.

        Under existing U.S. Government regulations, certain costs incurred for
   consolidation actions that can be demonstrated to result in savings in excess
   of the cost to implement can be deferred and amortized for government
   contracting purposes and included as allowable costs in future pricing of the
   Corporation's products and services. Included in other assets at December 31,
   1996 is approximately $250 million of deferred costs that will be reflected
   in future sales and cost of sales.

</TABLE> 

        During the second quarter of 1996, the Corporation issued $5 billion of
   long-term fixed rate debt securities, the entire amount registered under the
   Corporation's shelf registration statement which became effective on May 10,
   1996. These Notes and Debentures range in maturity from two years to 40
   years, with interest rates ranging from between 6.55% and 7.75%. The
   registered holders of $300 million of 40 year Debentures may elect, between
   March 1 and April 1, 2008, to have each of their Debentures repaid by the
   Corporation on May 1, 2008. The debt securities are guaranteed by Tactical
   Systems (see Note 17).

        In February 1996, the Corporation entered into interest rate hedging
   agreements to offset a portion of its exposure to rising interest rates
   related to the anticipated long-term financings. These agreements were closed
   in the second quarter of 1996 in connection with the Corporation's issuance
   of its long-term debt securities. The Corporation realized a gain of
   approximately $150 million on the closing of these agreements, which has been
   deferred and is being amortized and recognized as an adjustment to interest
   expense over the terms of the related debt obligations.

        At the effective date of the Loral Transaction, the Corporation assumed
   approximately $1.9 billion of debt obligations of the former Loral
   Corporation.

        Included in Debentures are $103 million of 7% obligations ($175 million
   at face value) which were originally sold at approximately 54% of their
   principal amount. These debentures, which are redeemable in whole or in part
   at the Corporation's option at 100% of their face value, have an effective
   yield of 13.25%.

        A leveraged ESOP incorporated into the savings plan for heritage
   Lockheed Corporation (Lockheed) employees borrowed $500 million through a
   private placement of notes in 1989 (see Note 12). These notes are being
   repaid in quarterly installments over terms ending in 2004. The ESOP note
   agreement stipulates

                                                     Lockheed Martin Corporation


   that, in the event that the ratings assigned to the Corporation's long-term
   senior unsecured debt are below investment grade, holders of the notes may
   require the Corporation to purchase the notes and pay accrued interest. These
   notes are obligations of the ESOP but are guaranteed by the Corporation and
   included as debt on the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet.

        On December 20, 1996, the Corporation amended its 5-Year Credit Facility
   to reduce its amount from $5 billion to $3.5 billion (the Amended 5-Year
   Credit Facility). The Corporation also entered into a one year credit
   facility in the amount of $1.5 billion (collectively, the Credit Facilities).
   Borrowings under the Credit Facilities would be unsecured and bear interest,
   at the Corporation's option, at rates based on the Eurodollar rate or a bank
   Base Rate (as defined). Each bank's obligation to make loans under the Credit
   Facilities is subject to, among other things, compliance by the Corporation
   with various representations, warranties, covenants and agreements,
   including, but not limited to, covenants limiting the ability of the
   Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries to encumber their assets and a
   covenant not to exceed a maximum leverage ratio.

        No borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facilities at December
   31, 1996. However, the Amended 5-Year Credit Facility supports commercial
   paper borrowings of approximately $2.4 billion outstanding at December 31,
   1996, of which approximately $1.25 billion has been classified as long-term
   debt in the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet based on management's
   ability and intention to maintain this debt outstanding for at least one
   year. During the third quarter of 1996, the Corporation entered into interest
   rate swap agreements to fix the interest rates on $875 million of its
   commercial paper borrowings. These agreements will mature during 1997. The
   effects of these interest rate swap agreements are recorded periodically as
   an adjustment to interest expense related to commercial paper borrowings. The
   Corporation is exposed to the risk of nonperformance by the intermediaries to
   these agreements, though such nonperformance is not anticipated.

        Excluding commercial paper classified as long term, the Corporation's
   long-term debt maturities for the five years following December 31, 1996,
   are: $180 million in 1997; $875 million in 1998; $850 million in 1999; $44
   million in 2000; $799 million in 2001; and $6,370 million thereafter.

        Certain of the Corporation's other financing agreements contain
   restrictive covenants relating to debt, limitations on encumbrances, and sale
   and lease-back transactions, and provisions which relate to certain changes
   in control.

        SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
   and SFAS No. 119, "Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair
   Value of Financial Instruments," require the disclosure of the fair value of
   financial instruments, including assets and liabilities recognized and not
   recognized on the consolidated balance sheet, for which it is practicable to
   estimate fair value. Unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in the notes to the
   consolidated financial statements, the carrying value of the Corporation's
   financial instruments approximates fair value. The estimated fair values of
   the Corporation's long-term debt instruments at December 31, 1996, aggregated
   approximately $10.7 billion, compared with a carrying amount of approximately
   $10.4 billion on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair values were
   estimated based on quoted market prices for those instruments publicly
   traded. For privately placed debt, the fair values were estimated based on
   the quoted market prices for similar issues, or on current rates offered to
   the Corporation for debt of the same remaining maturities.

        Interest payments were $655 million in 1996, $275 million in 1995 and
   $276 million in 1994.

   1995 and $50 million for 1994.

        The Corporation's effective income tax rate varied from the statutory
federal income tax rate because of the following tax differences:

</TABLE> 

        During the third quarter of 1996, the Corporation announced its
   intention to distribute via an exchange offer its remaining 81 percent
   interest in Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (Materials) to its stockholders
   (the Exchange Offer). Under the terms of the Exchange Offer, the
   Corporation's stockholders were given the opportunity to exchange each
   Lockheed Martin common share held for 4.72 common shares of Materials on a
   tax-free basis. The Exchange Offer expired by its terms on October 18, 1996
   and was oversubscribed. On October 23, 1996, approximately 7.9 million shares
   of the Corporation's common stock were exchanged for the 37.35 million shares
   of Materials common stock held by the Corporation. Upon the closing of this
   transaction, the Corporation had no remaining ownership interest in Materials
   and had reduced its common shares outstanding by approximately 4 percent.
   This fourth quarter, 1996 exchange was accounted for at fair value, resulting
   in the reduction of the Corporation's stockholders' equity by $750 million
   and the recognition of a pretax gain of $365 million.

        In November, 1996, the Corporation announced the proposed divestiture of
   two of its business units, Defense Systems and Armament Systems. This
   transaction, which concluded with the Corporation's receipt of $450 million
   in cash on January 2, 1997, had no pretax effect on the results of operations
   for 1996. At December 31, 1996, $450 million, representing the net assets of
   the two business units, is included in other current assets. 

        On a combined basis, the Materials exchange and divestiture noted above
   increased net earnings by $351 million, or $1.58 per common share assuming
   full dilution. 

        In February 1994, Materials sold through an initial public offering
   (IPO) approximately 8.8 million shares, or 19% of its common stock. A portion
   of the proceeds from the offering was used to defease in substance certain
   long-term debt. The Corporation recognized a pretax gain, net of a loss on
   debt defeasance, of $118 million from the Materials IPO. The net after-tax
   gain from these transactions was $70 million, or $.32 per common share
   assuming full dilution.

        During March 1994, the Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of
   Merger with Grumman Corporation (Grumman) which was subsequently terminated
   by Grumman. In April 1994, the Corporation received $50 million plus
   reimbursement of expenses pursuant to the termination provisions of the
   Agreement and Plan of Merger. The Corporation recorded an after-tax gain of
   $30 million, or $.14 per common share assuming full dilution.

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Note 11 -- Stockholders' Equity and Related Items

[ ]Capital structure -- The authorized capital of the Corporation is composed of
   750 million shares of common stock (192.7 million shares issued), 50 million
   shares of series preferred stock (no shares issued), and 20 million shares of
   Series A preferred stock (20 million shares issued). Approximately 70 million
   common shares have been reserved for issuance under benefit and incentive
   plans.

        The Series A preferred stock has a par value of $1 per share
   (liquidation preference of $50 per share). The Corporation issued all of the
   authorized and outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock to General
   Electric Company (GE) in 1993 in connection with the acquisition of the GE
   Aerospace businesses. Dividends are cumulative and paid at an annual rate of
   $3.00 per share, or 6%. The shares held by GE are currently convertible into
   approximately 13% of the shares of the Corporation's common stock after
   giving effect to such conversion, have an aggregate liquidation preference of
   $1 billion, and are nonvoting except in special circumstances.

                                                     Lockheed Martin Corporation

   Accordingly, 29 million common shares have been reserved for this potential
   conversion. In April 1998 and thereafter, the Corporation will be entitled to
   redeem, at its option, any or all shares of the Series A preferred stock for
   either cash or common stock. The Series A preferred stock is held under a
   Standstill Agreement which, among other things, 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 stockholder 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 stockholders the
   election of two persons designated by GE to serve as directors of the
   Corporation.

        During the second quarter of 1996, the Corporation's Board of Directors
   terminated the systematic common stock repurchase plan which had been
   established in 1995 to counter the future dilutive effect of common stock
   issued by the Corporation under its 1995 Omnibus Performance Award Plan. A
   separate program authorized in 1995 for the repurchase of up to nine million
   common shares to counter the dilutive effect of common stock issued under the
   Corporation's other benefit and compensation programs and for other purposes
   related to such plans remains in effect. Approximately 2.3 million common
   shares were repurchased by the Corporation in 1995 under these programs; no
   shares were repurchased in 1996.

[ ]Stock option and award plans -- On March 15, 1995, the stockholders approved
   the Lockheed Martin 1995 Omnibus Performance Award Plan (Omnibus Plan). Under
   the 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.
   Employees may also be granted cash-based incentive awards, such as
   performance units. These awards may be granted either individually or in
   combination with other awards. The Omnibus Plan requires that options to
   purchase common stock have an exercise price of not less than 100% of the
   market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The number of
   shares of Lockheed Martin common stock currently authorized to be issued in
   respect of awards under the Omnibus Plan is 12 million shares. The Omnibus
   Plan does not impose any minimum vesting periods on options or other awards.
   The maximum term of an option or any other award is ten years. 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 to the merger of Lockheed and Martin Marietta Corporation (Martin
   Marietta) in 1995 (the Business Combination), Lockheed and Martin Marietta
   had also utilized share-based and cash-based incentive award plans. The
   Agreement and Plan of Reorganization relating to the Business Combination
   provided 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 Business Combination. Effective
   with the adoption of the Omnibus Plan, no further grants of share-based or
   cash-based incentive awards have been or will be made under any of Lockheed's
   or Martin Marietta's prior plans. Accordingly, shares available for grant
   under these prior plans were removed from registration in 1995.

        The following table summarizes the stock option activity of the
   Corporation's plans during 1994, 1995 and 1996:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Continued


        All stock-based incentive awards granted in 1996 and 1995 under the
   Omnibus Plan were stock options which have 10 year terms and vest over a two
   year service period. Exercise prices of options awarded in both years were
   equal to the market price of the stock on the date of grant. Pro forma
   information regarding net earnings and earnings per share as required by SFAS
   No. 123 has been determined as if the Corporation had accounted for its
   employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value for these
   options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option
   pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1996 and
   1995, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.58% and 6.64%; dividend
   yield of 1.70%; volatility factors related to the expected market price of
   the Corporation's common stock of .186 and .216; and weighted-average
   expected option life of five years. The weighted average fair values of
   options granted during 1996 and 1995 were $17.24 and $16.09, respectively.

        For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the options' estimated fair
   values are amortized to expense over the options' vesting periods. Therefore,
   the pro forma results for 1995 presented below include only 50% of the total
   pro forma expense for options awarded in that year. The Corporation's pro
   forma information follows:

   Note 12 -- Post-Retirement Benefit Plans

   The Corporation maintains separate plans for post-retirement benefits for its
   employees based on their association with the former heritage companies of
   Lockheed and Martin Marietta, and with Tactical Systems.

   Defined Contribution Plans

   The Corporation maintains a number of defined contribution plans which cover
   substantially all employees, the most significant of which are the 401(k)
   plans for salaried employees (the Salaried Plans) and hourly employees (the
   Hourly Plans). Under the provisions of these 401(k) plans, employees'
   eligible contributions are matched by the Corporation at established rates.
   The Corporation's matching obligations were $202 million in 1996, $180
   million in 1995, and $192 million in 1994. Matching obligations for 1996
   include contributions related to employees of Tactical Systems since the date
   of acquisition.

        The Salaried Plan for heritage Lockheed employees includes an ESOP which
   purchased 17.4 million shares of the Corporation's common stock with the
   proceeds from a $500 million note issue which is guaranteed by the
   Corporation (see Note 8). A portion of the Corporation's match consisted of
   the Corporation's common stock (50% through June 30, 1995, and 100%
   thereafter), which was partially fulfilled with stock released from the ESOP
   at approximately 1.2 million shares per year based upon the debt repayment
   schedule through the year 2004, with the remainder being fulfilled through
   purchases of common stock from terminating participants or in the open
   market. Interest incurred on the ESOP debt totaled $29 million, $31 million
   and $33 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Dividends received by
   the ESOP with respect to unallocated shares held are used for debt service.
   The ESOP held approximately 21 million issued shares of the Corporation's
   common stock at December 31, 1996, of which approximately 12 million were
   allocated and 9 million were unallocated. The fair value of the unallocated
   ESOP shares at December 31, 1996 was approximately $800 million. Effective
   January 1, 1997, heritage Martin Marietta salaried employees became eligible
   to participate in this plan.

        The Hourly Plans for heritage Lockheed employees include non-leveraged
   ESOPs. The Corporation's match to these plans were made through cash
   contributions to the ESOP trusts which were used, in part, to purchase common
   stock from terminating participants and in the open market for allocation to
   participant accounts. These ESOP trusts held approximately 2 million issued
   and outstanding shares of common stock at December 31, 1996.

        Dividends paid to the salaried and hourly ESOP trusts on the allocated
   shares are paid annually by the ESOP trusts to the participants based upon
   the number of shares allocated to each participant.

   Defined Benefit Plans

   Most employees are covered by contributory or noncontributory defined benefit
   pension plans. Benefits for salaried plans are generally based on average
   compensation and years of service, while those for hourly plans are generally
   based on negotiated benefits and years of service. Substantially all benefits
   are paid from funds previously contributed to trustees. The Corporation's
   funding policy is to make contributions that are consistent with U.S.
   Government cost allowability and Internal Revenue Service deductibility
   requirements, subject to the full-funding limits of the Employee Retirement
   Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). When any funded plan exceeds the full-
   funding limits of ERISA, no contribution is made to that plan.

        The net pension cost related to the Corporation's defined benefit plans
   included the following components:

</TABLE> 

        The increases in the fair value of plan assets, the PBO and the prepaid
   pension asset are primarily related to the inclusion of the defined benefit
   plans of Tactical Systems in 1996. The fair value of plan assets also
   increased due to favorable investment returns in 1996.

        At December 31, 1996, approximately 56 percent of the plan assets were
   equity securities with the remainder primarily being fixed income securities
   and cash equivalents. Actuarial determinations were based on various
   assumptions displayed in the following table. Net pension costs in 1996, 1995
   and 1994 were based on assumptions in effect at the end of the respective
   preceding year. Benefit obligations as of each year-end were based on
   assumptions in effect as of those dates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Continued

   increase in the APBO of approximately 7.6% at December 31, 1996, and a 1996
   post-retirement benefit cost increase of approximately 8.1%. The Corporation
   believes that the cost containment features it has previously adopted and the
   funding approaches underway will allow it to effectively manage its retiree
   medical expenses, but it will continue to monitor the costs of retiree
   medical benefits and may further modify the plans if circumstances warrant.

   Note 13 -- Leases

   Total rental expense under operating leases, net of immaterial amounts of
   sublease rentals and contingent rentals, were $320 million, $236 million and
   $265 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

        Future minimum lease commitments at December 31, 1996, for all operating
   leases that have a remaining term of more than one year were approximately
   $1.1 billion ($254 million in 1997, $207 million in 1998, $174 million in
   1999, $124 million in 2000, $99 million in 2001, and $264 million in later
   years). Certain major plant facilities and equipment are furnished by the
   U.S. Government under short-term or cancelable arrangements.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Note 14 -- Commitments and Contingencies

   The Corporation or its subsidiaries are parties to or have property subject
   to litigation and other proceedings, including matters arising under
   provisions relating to the protection of the environment. In the opinion of
   management and counsel, the probability is remote that the outcome of these
   matters will have a material adverse effect on the results of the
   Corporation's operations or its financial position. These matters include the
   following items:

[ ]Environmental matters -- In 1991, the Corporation entered into a consent
   decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) relating to
   certain property in Burbank, California, which obligated the Corporation to
   design and construct facilities to monitor, extract, and treat groundwater,
   and to operate and maintain such facilities for approximately eight years. A
   second consent decree is being finalized which will obligate the Corporation
   to fund the continued operation and maintenance of these facilities through
   the year 2018. The Corporation estimates that expenditures required to comply
   with the consent decrees over their remaining terms will be approximately
   $110 million.

        The Corporation has also been operating under a cleanup and abatement
   order from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board affecting its
   facilities in Burbank, California. This order requires site assessment and
   action to abate groundwater contamination by a combination of groundwater and
   soil cleanup and treatment. Based on experience derived from initial
   remediation activities, the Corporation estimates the anticipated costs of
   these actions in excess of the requirements under the EPA consent decree to
   approximate $90 million over the remaining term of the project.

        In addition, the Corporation is involved in other proceedings and
   potential proceedings relating to environmental matters, including disposal
   of hazardous wastes and soil and water contamination. The extent of the
   Corporation's financial exposure cannot in all cases be reasonably estimated
   at this time. A liability of approximately $340 million for those cases in
   which an estimate of financial exposure can be determined has been recorded.

        Under an agreement with the U.S. Government, the Burbank groundwater
   treatment and soil remediation expenditures referenced above are being
   allocated to the Corporation's operations as general and administrative costs
   and, under existing government regulations, these and other environmental
   expenditures related to U.S. Government business, after deducting any
   recoveries from insurance or other responsible parties, are allowable in
   establishing the prices of the Corporation's products and services. As a
   result, a substantial portion of the expenditures will be reflected in the
   Corporation's sales and cost of sales pursuant to U.S. Government agreement
   or regulation. The Corporation has recorded an asset for the portion of these
   costs that are probable of future recovery in pricing of the Corporation's
   products and services for U.S. Government business. The portion that is
   expected to be allocated to commercial business has been reflected in cost of
   sales. The recorded amounts do not reflect the possible future recovery of
   portions of the environmental costs through insurance policy coverage or from
   other potentially responsible parties, which the Corporation is pursuing as
   required by agreement and U.S. Government regulation. Any such recoveries,
   when received, would reduce the Corporation's liability as well as the
   allocated amounts to be included in the Corporation's U.S. Government sales
   and cost of sales.

[ ]Waste remediation contract -- In 1994, the Corporation was awarded a $180
   million fixed price contract by the DOE for the Phase II design, construction
   and limited test of remediation facilities, and the Phase III full
   remediation of waste found in Pit 9, located on the Idaho National
   Engineering and Environmental Laboratory reservation. The Corporation has
   incurred and continues to incur significant unanticipated costs and schedule
   impacts due to complex technical and contractual matters which threaten the
   viability of the overall Pit 9 program. The Corporation is currently working
   to identify and quantify the overall effects, including the financial impact,
   of these matters, and discussions with the DOE are continuing; however, to
   date no resolution of these technical and contractual matters has been
   achieved. Upon completion of the Corporation's investigation into the
   circumstances which gave rise to these schedule, technical and cost issues,
   the Corporation will provide the DOE an appropriate request for equitable
   adjustment. The total amount of such request for equitable adjustment has not
   yet been determined.

[ ]Letters of credit and other matters -- The Corporation has entered into
   standby letter of credit agreements and other arrangements with financial
   institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on
   certain contracts. In connection with the Loral Transaction, the Corporation
   assumed the

   obligations of Loral as guarantor under the Revolving Credit Agreement of
   Globalstar, L.P., an affiliate of Loral SpaceCom, up to a maximum principal
   amount of $250 million, subject to the assumption by certain of the
   Globalstar partners of a portion of the Corporation's obligations as
   guarantor. At December 31, 1996, the Corporation had contingent liabilities
   on outstanding letters of credit, guarantees, and other arrangements
   aggregating approximately $1.5 billion.

   Note 15 -- Information on Industry Segments
   and Major Customers

   The Corporation operates in four principal business segments: Space &
   Strategic Missiles, Electronics, Information & Services, and Aeronautics. All
   other activities of the Corporation fall within the Energy, Materials and
   Other segment.

 . Space & Strategic Missiles -- Engaged in the design, development, engineering
   and production of civil, commercial and military space systems, including
   spacecraft, space launch vehicles, manned space systems and their supporting
   ground systems and services; telecommunications systems and services;
   strategic fleet ballistic missiles; and defensive missiles.

 . Electronics -- Engaged in the design, development, engineering and production
   of high performance electronic systems for undersea, shipboard, land-based,
   airborne and space-based applications. Major defense product lines include
   surface ship and submarine combat systems; anti-armor missiles; indirect fire
   support weapons systems; air defense systems; aircraft system integration;
   and electronic warfare. Major commercial product lines include satellite
   electronics; mail handling automation systems; and transportation systems.

 . Information & Services -- Engaged in the development, integration and
   operation of large, complex information systems; engineering, technical, and
   management services for federal customers; transaction processing systems and
   services for state and local government agencies; commercial information
   technology outsourcing; manufacture and distribution of computer peripherals,
   graphics engines and intranet software; and the provision of internal
   information technology support to the Corporation.

 . Aeronautics -- Engaged in the design, development, engineering and production

   civilian customers.

 . Energy, Materials and Other -- The Corporation manages certain facilities for
   the DOE. The contractual arrangements provide for the Corporation to be
   reimbursed for the cost of operations and receive a fee for performing
   management services. The Corporation reflects only the management fee in its
   sales and earnings for these government-owned facilities. In addition, while
   the employees at such facilities are employees of the Corporation, applicable
   employee benefit plans are separate from the Corporation's plans. The
   Corporation also provides environmental remediation services to commercial
   and U.S. Government customers, and has investments in other businesses.
   Through October, 1996, the Corporation provided construction aggregates and
   specialty chemical products to commercial and civil customers through its
   Materials subsidiary (see Note 10).

including, but not limited to, the discussion of "Competition and Risk" and the
discussion of "Government Contracts and Regulations" on pages 11 through 14 and

10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 (Form 10-K); "Management's

Statements included in this Annual Report and incorporated by reference into the

Setting the Standard

Lockheed Martin's Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is called "Setting the
Standard." We aim to set the standard for ethical business conduct through these
six guiding ethical principles and values:

Honesty: to be truthful in all our endeavors; to be honest and forthright with
one another and with our customers, communities, suppliers, and shareholders.

Integrity: to say what we mean, to deliver what we promise, and to stand for
what is right.

Respect: to treat one another with dignity and fairness, appreciating the
diversity of our workforce and the uniqueness of each employee.

Trust: to build confidence through teamwork and open, candid communication.

Responsibility: to speak up - without fear of retribution - and report concerns
in the work place, including violations of laws, regulations and company
policies, and seek clarification and guidance whenever there is doubt.

Citizenship: to obey all the laws of the United States and the other countries
in which we do business and to do our part to make the communities in which we
live better.

          APPENDIX TO THE EDGAR VERSION OF THE 1996 ANNUAL REPORT TO
         SECURITY HOLDERS FILED PURSUANT TO RULE 304 OF REGULATION S-T

        This appendix is being filed pursuant to Rule 304 of Regulation S-K and 
represents Lockheed Martin Corporation's good faith effort to fairly and 
accurately describe certain graphic and image material that is included in the 
paper version of the 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders (the "1996 Annual 
Report") but has been omitted from the EDGAR version.

        A description of the pictures omitted from the 1996 Annual Report in its
EDGAR format follows. Generally, the omitted pictures are described in the 
associated captions and represent products produced by Lockheed Martin 
Corporation which are products produced by Lockheed Martin Corporation which are
discussed at various locations in the text of the document. In some instances,
the pictures are of officers, directors and employees of the Corporation or of
persons using the Corporation's products. The pictures are included primarily to
add visual interest to the 1996 Annual Report and are neither individually nor
in the aggregate material to an understanding of the Report.

        The 1996 Annual Report in its EDGAR format also omits certain graphic 
material. This material is also described fully in the text. A description of 
the omitted graphic material follows:

Page 52 - The omitted graph sets forth in columnar format net sales, in millions
of dollars, for the years 1994, 1995 and 1996 and corresponds to the textual 
description of net sales.

Page 53 - The graph omitted at the top of the page sets forth in columnar format
net earnings, in millions of dollars, for the years 1994, 1995, and 1996 as well
as including a column pertaining to 1994 to which footnote (a) relates and a 
column pertaining to 1995 to which footnote (b) relates. The graph corresponds 
to the textual description of net earnings.

Page 53 - The graph omitted at the bottom of the page sets forth in columnar 
format earnings per common share, assuming full dilution, in dollars, for the 
years 1994, 1995 and 1996 and includes a column pertaining to 1994 to which 
footnote (a) relates and a column pertaining to 1995 to which footnote (b) 
relates. The graph corresponds to the textual description of earnings per common
share.

Page 54 - The omitted graph sets forth in columnar format dividends per common 
share for each of 1994, 1995 and 1996.

Page 59 - The omitted graph sets forth in columnar format negotiated backlog, in
millions of dollars, for the years 1994, 1995 and 1996 and corresponds to the 
textual description of negotiated backlog.

Page 60 - The omitted graph sets forth in columnar format net cash provided by 
operating activities in each of 1996 (including the effects of the Loral 
Transaction), 1995 and 1994 and follows the associated textual discussion.
