(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Lockheed Martin Corporation (the Corporation) has
continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the consolidated
financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March
14, 1997 in its 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management,
the interim financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of
the results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations
for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Certain amounts presented for prior periods have been reclassified to conform
with the 1997 presentation.
Note 2 - TRANSACTION AGREEMENT WITH NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION
On July 3, 1997, the Corporation and Northrop Grumman Corporation (Northrop
Grumman) announced that they had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the Merger Agreement) to combine the companies in a transaction with a total
estimated value of approximately $11.6 billion, including Northrop Grumman debt
to be assumed by the Corporation of approximately $3.1 billion (the Merger).
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was unanimously approved by the
respective Boards of Directors of the Corporation and Northrop Grumman, Northrop
Grumman stockholders will receive 1.1923 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock
for each share of Northrop Grumman common stock. The consummation of the Merger
is subject to, among other things, the approval by the stockholders of the
Corporation of the issuance of Lockheed Martin common stock, the approval of the
Merger by stockholders of Northrop Grumman, and certain regulatory approvals.
The transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 1998, will
be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Note 3 - TRANSACTION AGREEMENT WITH GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY
On November 3, 1997, the Corporation announced a definitive agreement with
General Electric Company (GE) under which the Corporation will exchange the
stock of a newly formed subsidiary, LMT Sub Inc. (LMT Sub), for all of the
Lockheed Martin Series A preferred stock held by GE and certain subsidiaries of
GE. The Series A preferred stock, which was issued to GE in connection with the
acquisition of GE's aerospace businesses in 1993, is convertible into
approximately 29 million shares of Lockheed Martin common stock with a market
value of approximately $2.8 billion at the date of the announcement. In exchange
for the Series A preferred stock, GE and such subsidiaries of GE will acquire
all of the outstanding capital stock of LMT Sub which will be composed of two
non-core commercial business units, which contributed approximately 6% of the
Corporation's net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the
Corporation's investment in a telecommunications partnership, and approximately
$1.6 billion in cash, as calculated at the date of the announcement. The amount
of cash to be included in the transaction is subject to change through the date
of consummation based primarily on changes in the fair values of Lockheed Martin
common stock and the common stock of the telecommunications partnership, and the
results of operations of the business units included in the transaction. The
cash included in the exchange is expected to be initially financed through
short-term borrowings or the issuance of commercial paper and, soon after
closing, is expected to be refinanced pursuant to a long-term note or notes from
the Corporation to LMT Sub. The transaction, which is expected to close in the
fourth quarter of 1997 subject to certain regulatory approvals, will be
accounted for at fair value, and management anticipates recognition of a tax-
free gain in excess of $300 million as calculated at the date of the
announcement. The gain is subject to change through the date of consummation
based primarily on changes in the fair values of Lockheed Martin common stock
and the common stock of the telecommunications partnership.

Note 4 - BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH LORAL CORPORATION
In April 1996, the Corporation purchased all of the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock of Loral Corporation (Loral) for an aggregate
consideration of $38 per share in cash. The purchase involved a series of
transactions that resulted in (i) the distribution to stockholders of Loral,
immediately prior to the consummation of the purchase, 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 in which the Corporation
acquired shares of preferred stock that were convertible into 20 percent of
Loral SpaceCom's common stock on a fully diluted basis at the date of
acquisition, and (ii) the acquisition by the Corporation of Loral's defense
electronics and systems integration businesses (collectively, the Loral
Transaction). In connection with the Loral Transaction, Loral changed its name
to Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems, Inc. (Tactical Systems), which 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. Effective June 30, 1997, Tactical Systems was merged with and into the
Corporation.
With regard to the Loral Transaction, the total purchase price paid, including
acquisition costs, was approximately $7.6 billion. The Loral Transaction was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Purchase accounting
adjustments were recorded to allocate the purchase price to assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on fair values at the date of acquisition.

Note 6 - 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.

(UNAUDITED)
The Corporation has also been operating under a cleanup and abatement order
from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (the Regional 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 $70 million over the remaining term of the project.
The Corporation is responding to three administrative orders issued by the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board in connection with the
Corporation's former Lockheed Propulsion Company facilities in Redlands,
California. Under the orders, the Corporation is investigating the impact and
potential remediation of regional groundwater contamination by perchlorates and
chlorinated solvents. The Regional Board has approved the Corporation's plan to
maintain public water supplies with respect to chlorinated solvents during this
work, and the Corporation is negotiating with local water purveyors to implement
this plan, as well as to address water supply concerns relative to perchlorate
contamination. The Corporation estimates that expenditures required to
implement work currently approved will be approximately $110 million.
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 $260 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 are being 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 U.S. Department of Energy (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 significant unanticipated costs and scheduling issues due to
complex technical and contractual matters which threaten the viability of the
overall Pit 9 program. Management completed its investigation to identify and
quantify the overall effects of these matters, and summarized its findings in a
request for equitable adjustment (REA) which was delivered to the DOE on March
31, 1997. The provisions of the REA include, but are not limited to, the
recovery of a portion of unanticipated costs incurred by the Corporation and the
restructuring of the contract to provide for a more equitable sharing of the
risks associated with the Pit 9 project. To date, the Corporation and the DOE
have not reached any agreements on cost recovery or other contract restructuring
matters. As a result, the Corporation has reduced work activities at the Pit 9
site, awaiting technical direction from the DOE. On September 22, 1997, the
management and reporting structure of the Pit 9 program were changed in an
effort to better focus the Corporation's management resources on resolving these
issues.

Note 7 - OTHER
In March 1997, the Corporation executed a definitive agreement valued at
approximately $525 million to reposition 10 non-core business units as a new
independent company, L-3 Communications Corporation, in which the Corporation
retained a 34.9% ownership interest at closing. These business units, primarily
composed of high-technology, product-oriented companies, contributed
approximately two percent of the Corporation's net sales during the three month
period ended March 31, 1997. The transaction, which closed on April 30, 1997
with an effective date of March 30, 1997, did not have a material impact on the
Corporation's earnings. Concurrent with the announcement of this transaction in
February 1997, the Corporation announced a new organizational structure which
reassigned management responsibility for certain business units. As a result,
the Corporation's operations were divided into five business segments. The
operations of Tactical Systems are reflected in the Electronics, Information &
Services, and Energy and Other segments.
Commercial paper borrowings of approximately $2.3 billion were outstanding at
September 30, 1997. Approximately $1.25 billion of these borrowings were
classified as long-term debt in the Corporation's condensed 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. Certain of these agreements
related to $325 million of commercial paper borrowings matured in August 1997,
with the remainder of the agreements scheduled to mature during the fourth
quarter of 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.
The Corporation's total interest payments were $498 million and $372 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The Corporation's federal and foreign income tax payments were $909 million
and $756 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share", which establishes new standards for computing and disclosing earnings
per share. The Statement requires dual presentation of "basic" and "diluted"
earnings per share, each as defined therein, which replace primary and fully
diluted earnings per share, respectively, required under current guidance. SFAS
No. 128 is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual
periods ending after December 15, 1997. Early adoption is not permitted;
however, after the effective date, all prior period earnings per share data
presented will be required to be restated to conform to the provisions of the
new standard. Management does not currently anticipate that earnings per share
computed under the new standard will differ materially from earnings per share
computed and disclosed under current guidance.
Effective January 1, 1997, the Corporation adopted the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position (SOP) No. 96-1,
"Environmental Remediation Liabilities." In addition to providing a
nonauthoritative discussion of major federal legislation dealing with
environmental matters, SOP No. 96-1 also provides authoritative guidance on
certain accounting issues relative to the recognition, measurement, display and
disclosure of environmental remediation liabilities. The impact of the adoption
of this SOP was not material to the Corporation's consolidated results of
operations, financial position or disclosures.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the
way in which publicly-held companies report financial and descriptive
information about its operating segments in financial statements for both
interim and annual periods. The Statement also requires additional disclosures
with respect to products and services, geographic areas of operation and major
customers. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have no impact on the
Corporation's consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial
position, but is expected to increase the level of disclosure of segment
information.

results of operations of the business units included in the transaction. The
cash included in the exchange is expected to be initially financed through
short-term borrowings or the issuance of commercial paper and, soon after
closing, is expected to be refinanced pursuant to a long-term note or notes from
the Corporation to LMT Sub. The transaction, which is expected to close in the
fourth quarter of 1997 subject to certain regulatory approvals, will be
accounted for at fair value, and management anticipates recognition of a tax-
free gain in excess of $300 million as calculated at the date of the
announcement. The gain is subject to change through the date of consummation
based primarily on changes in the fair values of Lockheed Martin common stock
and the common stock of the telecommunications partnership.

have been included in the results of operations of the Corporation from April 1,
1996.

<PAGE>
LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
With regard to the Loral Transaction, the total purchase price paid, including
acquisition costs, was approximately $7.6 billion. At the effective date of the
Loral Transaction, the Corporation assumed approximately $1.9 billion of debt
obligations of the former Loral Corporation. The Loral Transaction was accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting. Purchase accounting adjustments
were recorded to allocate the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on fair values at the date of acquisition.
The funds for the consummation of the Loral Transaction were provided through
the issuance of approximately $6.6 billion of commercial paper and an
approximate $1 billion borrowing under a 5-year unsecured revolving credit
facility (the 5-Year Facility). During the second quarter of 1996, the
Corporation issued $5 billion of long-term fixed rate debt securities. The net
proceeds from the sale of the debt securities were used to repay the $1 billion
borrowed under the 5-Year Facility and to reduce the amount of commercial paper
outstanding.
REPOSITIONING OF NON-CORE BUSINESSES AND NEW ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
In March 1997, the Corporation executed a definitive agreement valued at
approximately $525 million to reposition 10 non-core business units as a new
independent company, L-3 Communications Corporation (L-3), in which the
Corporation retained a 34.9% ownership interest at closing. These business
units, primarily composed of high technology, product-oriented companies, had
approximately 4,900 employees and contributed approximately two percent of the
Corporation's net sales during the three month period ended March 31, 1997. The
transaction, which closed on April 30, 1997 with an effective date of March 30,
1997, did not have a material impact on the Corporation's earnings.
Concurrent with the announcement of this transaction in February 1997, the
Corporation announced a new organizational structure which reassigned
management responsibility for certain business units. As a result, the
Corporation's operations were divided into five business segments. Prior year
data has been reclassified to conform to the new presentation.
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 quarter, or quarter-to-quarter comparisons of recorded
sales and profits, may not be indicative of future operating results. The
following comparative analysis should be viewed in this context.
Consolidated net sales for the third quarter were $6.6 billion in 1997, a six
percent decrease from the $7.0 billion recorded for the comparable period in
1996. The 1996 results include the operations of Martin Marietta Materials,
Inc. (Materials), which was divested during the fourth quarter of 1996; the
Space Shuttle processing operations, which the Corporation transferred to United
Space Alliance, LLC (USA), an unconsolidated joint venture, during the second
half of 1996; the operations of the Corporation's Armament Systems and Defense
Systems businesses, which were sold to General Dynamics Corporation (General
Dynamics) in a transaction which concluded with the Corporation's receipt of
$450 million in cash on January 2, 1997; and the operations which were
repositioned as L-3 effective March 30, 1997. Excluding the effects of these
divestitures, net sales for the third quarter of 1997 would have increased by
one percent over comparable 1996 results for the same period. Consolidated net
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $20.2 billion, a five
percent increase over the $19.2 billion reported for the same period in 1996.
This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of the operations of the former
Tactical Systems companies for the entire 1997 period versus only a portion of
1996, offset by the absence in 1997 of the operations of the divested entities
discussed previously. Excluding the effects of these items, net sales for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 would have been four percent higher than
the comparable period in 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The Corporation's operating profit (earnings before interest and taxes) for
the third quarter of 1997 was $747 million versus $736 million for the
comparable 1996 period. Excluding the impact of the divestitures discussed
above, operating profit for the third quarter of 1997 would have increased by
more than 10 percent above the operating profit for the comparable 1996 period.
Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $2.1 billion
versus $1.9 billion as reported for the comparable period in 1996. Excluding
the effects of the transactions referred to above, operating profit for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 would have increased by nearly 12 percent from
the comparable 1996 period.
Net earnings for the third quarter of 1997 were $331 million, or $1.51 per
common share assuming full dilution. These amounts represent increases from the
reported third quarter 1996 net earnings of $311 million, or $1.38 per common
share. Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $929
million, or $4.25 per common share assuming full dilution, versus $882 million,
or $3.93 per common share, for the comparable 1996 period. The effective income
tax rate for the third quarter of 1997 was 38 percent as compared to 39 percent
for the third quarter of 1996, and 38 percent versus 39 percent for the first
nine months of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The effective rates for each period
were higher than the statutory corporate federal income tax rate principally due
to the nondeductibility for tax purposes of certain costs in excess of net
assets acquired associated with previous acquisition activities.
The Corporation's backlog of undelivered orders was approximately $46.9
billion at September 30, 1997, versus $50.4 billion reported at December 31,
1996. The lower backlog at September 30, 1997 reflects the divestiture of the
Corporation's Armament Systems, Defense Systems and L-3 businesses. The
Corporation received orders for approximately $18.5 billion in new and follow-on
business during the first nine months of 1997.
The following table displays third quarter and year-to-date net sales and
operating profit for the Corporation's business segments.

Net sales of the Space & Strategic Missiles segment increased by four percent
in the third quarter of 1997 from the comparable 1996 period. This increase was
due mainly to the impact of new programs (commercial telecommunications, SBIRS)
and higher launch vehicle volume, partly offset by lower Titan and Fleet
Ballistic Missile

activity. Net sales for the first nine months of 1997 were slightly higher than
the comparable 1996 amount. Operating profit for the third quarter and year-to-
date 1997 increased by 26 percent and seven percent, respectively, as compared
to 1996, principally because of timing of the recognition of award fees on
certain space programs and greater activity and improved performance on the
Atlas and other launch vehicle programs, partly offset by less favorable
performance on several satellite programs.
Third quarter 1997 Electronics segment net sales decreased by six percent
versus the same period in 1996 due to the exclusion of the results of the
Armament Systems and Defense Systems businesses which were sold to General
Dynamics early in 1997. Excluding the results of operations of these companies,
third quarter net sales would have been approximately equal to the comparable
1996 amount. Year-to-date net sales for 1997 increased by 13 percent over the
comparable 1996 amount due to the inclusion of the operations of certain former
Tactical Systems companies for the entire 1997 period versus only a portion of
1996, partially offset by the Armament Systems and Defense Systems dispositions.
Excluding the results of operations of these companies, net sales for the first
nine months of 1997 would have decreased by two percent from the comparable 1996
amount, as a result of reductions in sales volume for the BSY-2, AEGIS and
various other programs. Operating profit for the third quarter of 1997
decreased by five percent from the comparable 1996 amount principally because of
the Armament Systems and Defense Systems divestitures. Excluding the operations
of these companies, operating profit would have decreased by two percent.
Operating profit for the first nine months of 1997 increased by nine percent as
compared to 1996, resulting from the inclusion of the former Tactical Systems
companies, partially offset by the dispositions of the Armament Systems and
Defense Systems companies noted above. Excluding the results of operations of
these companies, year-to-date 1997 operating profit would have decreased by five
percent compared to 1996, primarily due to lower sales as discussed above.
Third quarter 1997 Information & Services segment net sales remained level
with the comparable 1996 amount, as increases in commercial products and data
systems product lines largely offset the absence in 1997 of the Space Shuttle
processing operations transferred to USA during the second half of 1996 and the
operations of the businesses repositioned as L-3. Year-to-date 1997 net sales
increased by 16 percent over the comparable 1996 period due to the inclusion of
the operations of certain former Tactical Systems companies for the entire 1997
period versus only a portion of 1996, offset by the effect of the absence of the
Corporation's Space Shuttle processing operations and the absence of the L-3
operations in 1997. Excluding the effects of these items, net sales for the
third quarter and year-to-date would have increased by 12 percent and 17
percent, respectively, from the respective comparable 1996 periods. These
increases resulted primarily from an increase in sales volume related to
commercial products, air traffic control systems and information management
systems. Third quarter 1997 operating profit decreased by 46 percent from the
comparable 1996 period, due to the exclusion of the businesses repositioned as
L-3, and adverse performance and timing issues related to commercial product
lines. Year-to-date 1997 operating profit increased by 21 percent over the same
period of 1996. Year-to-date 1997 operating profit includes the former Tactical
Systems companies for the entire period versus only a portion of 1996. In
addition, performance improvements in various systems integration and
information systems programs were partially offset by the unfavorable
performance in commercial lines of business. Excluding the effects of the
acquisitions and divestitures discussed above, third quarter and year-to-date
1997 operating profit would have decreased by 35 percent and increased by 28
percent, respectively, from the amounts recorded for the comparable 1996
periods.
Third quarter and year-to-date 1997 Aeronautics net sales decreased by 12
percent and increased by 3 percent, respectively, from the comparable 1996
amounts. In the quarter, increases resulting from the timing of deliveries of
F-16 fighter aircraft and F-16 support volume were more than offset by fewer
deliveries of C-130 airlift aircraft. Operating profit for third quarter and
year-to-date 1997 increased by 13 percent and 20 percent, respectively, as
compared to the respective comparable 1996 amounts, principally due to
increased F-16 deliveries noted above as well as performance improvements at
certain of the segment's aircraft and logistics centers.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Net sales and operating profit of the Energy and Other segment for the third
quarter and nine months of 1997 decreased significantly from the comparable 1996
amounts primarily due to the divestiture of Materials during the fourth quarter
of 1996. The decrease in operating profit was somewhat offset by gains recorded
in 1997 from the Corporation's investment portfolio. In 1994, the Corporation
was awarded a $180 million fixed price contract by the U.S. Department of Energy
(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 significant unanticipated costs and scheduling issues
due to complex technical and contractual matters which threaten the viability of
the overall Pit 9 program. Management completed its investigation to identify
and quantify the overall effects of these matters, and has summarized its
findings in a request for equitable adjustment (REA) which was delivered to the
DOE on March 31, 1997. The provisions of the REA include, but are not limited
to, the recovery of a portion of unanticipated costs incurred by the Corporation
and the restructuring of the contract to provide for a more equitable sharing of
the risks associated with the Pit 9 project. To date, the Corporation and the
DOE have not reached any agreements on cost recovery or other contractual
restructuring matters. As a result, the Corporation has reduced work activities
at the Pit 9 site, awaiting technical direction from the DOE. On September 22,
1997, the management and reporting structure of the Pit 9 program was changed in
an effort to better focus the Corporation's resources on resolving these issues.
The Corporation is responding to three administrative orders issued by the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board (the Regional Board) in
connection with the Corporation's former Lockheed Propulsion Company facilities
in Redlands, California. Under the orders, the Corporation is investigating the
impact and potential remediation of regional groundwater contamination by
perchlorates and chlorinated solvents. The Regional Board has approved the
Corporation's plan to maintain public water supplies with respect to chlorinated
solvents during this work, and the Corporation is negotiating with local water
purveyors to implement this plan, as well as to address water supply concerns
relative to perchlorate contamination. The Corporation estimates that
expenditures required to implement work currently approved will be approximately
$110 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, $231 million of cash was
provided by operating activities, compared to $1.3 billion during the first
nine months of 1996. This fluctuation resulted principally from increased cash
flow requirements related to certain aircraft and space-related programs. Net
cash provided by investing activities during the first nine months of 1997 was
$309 million, compared to $7.9 billion used for investing activities during the
first nine months of 1996. The 1996 amount reflected the use of approximately
$7.3 billion of cash related to the Loral Transaction, while the 1997 amount
reflected the receipt of $450 million from General Dynamics during 1997 for the
sale of the Corporation's Armament Systems and Defense Systems operations and
the receipt of more than $400 million in cash from the repositioning of L-3.
Net cash used for financing activities was $430 million in the first nine months
of 1997 versus $6.2 billion provided by financing activities during the
comparable period in 1996. The 1996 amount reflected the issuance of debt to
finance the Loral Transaction while the 1997 amount principally reflected
repayments of debt and dividend activity.
Commercial paper borrowings of approximately $2.3 billion were outstanding at
September 30, 1997. Of this amount, $1.25 billion has been classified as long-
term debt in the Corporation's condensed consolidated balance sheet based on
management's ability and intention to maintain this debt outstanding for at
least one year. Total debt, including short-term borrowings, amounted to
approximately 60 percent of total capitalization at September 30, 1997, a
reduction from the 63 percent reported at December 31, 1996. This reduction is
the result of net repayments related to debt during the first nine months of
1997 of $231 million combined with a $798 million increase in stockholders'
equity during the same period. The increase in stockholders' equity resulted
primarily from net earnings for the period of $929 million and option and ESOP
activity, offset by dividends totaling $270 million. As a result of the Northrop
Grumman and GE transactions, the Corporation's senior long-term debt ratings are
currently under review.
