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, integration and
operation of advanced technology products and services.

NORTHROP GRUMMAN TRANSACTION

On July 2, 1997, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman Corporation ("Northrop
Grumman") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger which was amended on
September 29, 1997 (as so amended, the "Agreement"). The Agreement provides for
the merger (the "Merger") of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin with
and into Northrop Grumman, with Northrop Grumman surviving as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Lockheed Martin.

Pursuant to the Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per
share, of Northrop Grumman ("Northrop Grumman Common Stock")


outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the
Agreement) of the Merger (other than shares held in Northrop Grumman's treasury)
will be converted into the right to receive 1.1923 shares of Lockheed Martin
common stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Lockheed Martin Common Stock"). No
fractional shares will be issued and cash, without interest, will be paid in
lieu thereof. As of the Effective Time, all shares of Northrop Grumman Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will no
longer be outstanding and will be automatically canceled and retired and will
cease to exist. Each holder of a certificate or certificates which immediately
prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Northrop Grumman
Common Stock will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the
right upon surrender of such certificate to (i) receive certificate(s)
representing the number of whole shares of Lockheed Martin Common Stock into
which such shares of Northrop Grumman Common Stock have been converted and (ii)
any cash, without interest, to be paid in lieu of any fractional share of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock.

On or about January 24, 1998, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman mailed to
their respective stockholders a Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus relating to
special meetings of stockholders of each of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman
which were held on

-2-


Thursday, February 26, 1998 (the "Special Meetings"). At the Special Meetings,
the stockholders of Lockheed Martin approved the issuance of shares of Lockheed
Martin Common Stock to the stockholders of Northrop Grumman in connection with
the Merger and Northrop Grumman's stockholders approved the Merger. Lockheed
Martin's stockholders also approved an unrelated proposal increasing the number
of shares of Common Stock authorized by Lockheed Martin's Charter. On March 9,
1998, the Corporation announced that it had been informed by the Department of
Justice (DOJ) that the DOJ was fundamentally opposed to the Merger. The
Corporation also announced on that date that it had committed to the DOJ not to
close the transaction before April 24, 1998, and to develop and submit a
proposal to the DOJ by April 8, 1998 designed to address the DOJ's antitrust
concerns while preserving the expected benefits and efficiencies of the
transaction to the Corporation and its stockholders, customers, employees and
suppliers. On March 12, 1998, the DOJ informed the Corporation that it found
this commitment unacceptable and demanded that the Corporation agree, at a
minimum, to certain substantial divestitures or the DOJ will proceed to court.
The DOJ stated that the agency expected a response by March 16,
1998. On March 13, 1998, the Corporation responded to the DOJ by letter and on
the morning of March 16, 1998 representatives of the Corporation and
representatives of Northrop Grumman met with representatives of the DOJ and
Department of Defense (DOD) and discussed the results of the Corporation's
efforts to date. The discussion included a description of the magnitude of
divestitures that the Corporation is willing to make to resolve the horizontal
and organizational conflict of interest issues raised by the DOJ and DOD. In
addition, the nature of a consent order that the Corporation would be willing to
enter to address the foreclosure issues posited by the DOJ and DOD to arise from
the vertical aspects of the combination was described. At the meeting, the
Corporation made clear to the Government that the Corporation is continuing to
work on its proposal but that the Corporation has not yet found an economically
viable way to make divestitures of the scope and magnitude set forth in the
DOJ's March 12, 1998 letter as the agency's minimum demand. In the early evening
of March 16, 1998, the DOJ sent the Corporation another letter restating the
demands of its March 12 letter and demanding an immediate response. The
Corporation responded by letter on March 17, 1998 in which the Corporation
restated its commitments of March 9 as well as the information conveyed in the
meeting of March 16. Later on March 17, the Corporation was informed by a
representative of the DOJ that, as a result of the Corporation's failure to
agree to the substantial divestitures set forth in the DOJ's March 12 letter as
the agency's minimum demand, the DOJ might proceed to court later that day or on
March 18, 1998. On March 18, the Corporation was informed by a representative of
the DOJ that the agency would not file suit on that date. The representative did
not address if or when suit might be filed.

Commission on January 22, 1998.

BUSINESSES

The Corporation conducts its principal businesses through five major operating
sectors: Space & Strategic Missiles; Electronics; Information & Services;
Aeronautics; and Energy & Environment. See "Business - Additional Activities
and Business Segment Reporting" on page 13.

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

-4-


missile, the MILSTAR communications satellite and the Atlas expendable launch
vehicle. In addition, a substantial amount of the Space & Strategic Missiles
Sector's activities are classified.

In 1998, the Sector anticipates that an increased amount of its sales will be
derived from international launch services using the Proton D-1-e launch
vehicle. Lockheed Martin provides the launch services through the Lockheed
Khrunichev Energia International, Inc. joint venture with two Russian aerospace
companies. Lockheed Martin was one of two companies awarded development
contracts for the U.S. Air Force's 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 29.6% of the Corporation's total net sales
in 1997. Net sales to the United States Government, excluding Foreign Military
Sales, represented 77.9% of the Sector's net sales in 1997.

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-, airborne- and

-5-


space-based applications. Major business elements include: Naval Systems;
Missiles and Air Defense; Aerospace Electronics; and Platform Integration. The
Naval Systems element serves customers world-wide with major lines of business
in surface ship and submarine combat systems, missile launching systems, anti-
submarine warfare systems, and navigation systems. The Air Defense and Missiles
element produces air defense systems; tactical battlefield missiles; and
precision guided weapons and munitions. The Aerospace Electronics element
manufactures major electronics subsystems such as: aircraft controls;
electronic-warfare; electro-optic and night vision; radar; displays; and
computers for the military and commercial aerospace market. The Platform
Integration element performs systems integration of mission specific combat
suites for both fixed and rotary wing aircraft and postal automation.

The Corporation is the prime contractor for the U.S. Navy's AEGIS fleet air
defense system, including the Vertical Launch System, and for the development
and integration of the EH-101 Merlin helicopter's anti-submarine warfare system
for the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence. In addition, the Sector is the
prime contractor for the Multiple Launch Rocket System, the U.S. Army's general
support fire power system, and the U.S. Air Force and Navy LANTIRN targeting and
navigation system. The Sector also produces the Target Acquisition

-6-


Designation Sight / Pilot Night Vision Sensor. In 1998, the Sector anticipates
that an increased percentage of its revenues will be derived from the Army
Tactical Missile System.

The Electronics Sector also manufactures and installs bar code readers and
sorters for the U.S. Postal Service and international postal services. In 1997,
the Sector was awarded 25 domestic and international postal contracts to provide
advanced recognition, automation, material handling and information management
systems. In addition, the Electronics Sector was awarded contracts for the
production of four AEGIS weapon systems for the Spanish Navy and, through the
Lockheed Martin/Tenix joint venture, for the development and production of the
Jindalee Operational Radar Network, a wide-area surveillance system of over-the-
horizon radars in Australia.

Net sales by the Electronics Sector represented 25.2% of the Corporation's
total net sales in 1997. Net sales to the United States Government, excluding
Foreign Military Sales, represented 68.5% of the Sector's net sales in 1997.

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

The Information & Services Sector consists of four major lines of business:
systems integration and command, control, communications, computer and
intelligence (C4I) systems; federal technology services;

-7-


state and municipal systems support services; and commercial systems and
products. The Sector's activities include the development, integration and
operation of large, complex information systems, including satellite command and
control systems, simulation and training systems, and nationally critical
intelligence systems. The Sector provides federal government, civil and military
customers with engineering, scientific, management, technical and information
technology support. Services to state and local government customers include
systems development, integration and operational support in the areas of welfare
reform, municipal services, children and family services, transportation, and
telecommunications. Commercial systems businesses include information technology
services, computer peripheral products, real-time 3-D graphics products and
enterprise data management software. The Sector also provides Lockheed Martin
companies with internal information systems support.

Through its Technology Services Group, the Information & Services Sector
provides a wide array of science and engineering, information management,
operation and maintenance, logistics, assembly and test and installation
services to governmental agencies and prime contractors. The Sector is
upgrading the U.S. National Air Traffic Control System through replacement of
display systems at 20 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Route Traffic
Control Centers. The Sector is currently completing

-8-


the New En Route Centre for the United Kingdom. In addition, the Sector
performs a substantial amount of classified work. In November 1997, the
Corporation divested its Access Graphics business.

In 1997, the Sector was awarded a 10-year contract to provide engineering
services in support of the FAA's modernization of the nation's air traffic
control system, a contract to provide information systems development and
maintenance to the United States Patent and Trademark Office and two contracts
to support the Environmental Protection Agency's computing and
telecommunications requirements. The United Kingdom National Air Traffic
Services selected Sky Solutions Ltd. as preferred bidder for the New Scottish
Centre, a major new air traffic control facility to be built at Prestwick,
Scotland. Sky Solutions is owned by the Corporation and Bovis Ltd. The Sector is
performing contracts under which it provides information technology services and
support for commercial and federal government customers, such as the Department
of Housing and Urban Development and the Social Security Administration.
Lockheed Martin was also selected as the North American Numbering Plan
Administrator and signed four Local Number Portability Contracts to develop and
operate a system to allow telephone customers to switch local service providers
while keeping their existing telephone numbers.

-9-


Net sales by the Information & Services Sector represented 23.0% of Lockheed
Martin's total net sales in 1997. Net sales to the United States Government,
excluding Foreign Military Sales, represented 62.6% of the Sector's net sales in
1997.

Aeronautics Sector
- ------------------

The Aeronautics Sector operates in the following primary lines of business;
tactical aircraft, airlift, surveillance/command,
maintenance/modification/logistics, reconnaissance and advanced development
programs. Programs include the F-22 air-superiority fighter, Joint Strike
Fighter, F-16 multirole fighter, C-130J tanker/transport, X-33 reusable launch
vehicle technology demonstrator, DarkStar reconnaissance vehicle, Airborne Early
Warning & Control systems, Contractor Logistics Support and a variety of
maintenance and modification programs for aircraft such as U.S. Navy P-3s and
U.S. Air Force KC-10s, as well as the Big Safari modification program for
special operations forces. The Aeronautics Sector is composed of four Operating
Companies: Aeronautical Systems, Aircraft & Logistics Center, Skunk Works, and
Tactical Aircraft Systems.

The Sector's largest programs include serving as the prime contractor on the
F-16 "Fighting Falcon" fighter aircraft, leading the team responsible for the
Air Force's F-22 air-superiority fighter

-10-


program that achieved first flight in 1997 and manufacturing the C-130 series
airlift aircraft. The Corporation also provides sustaining engineering,
modifications and upgrading for existing aircraft, including the F-117 fighter
bomber, the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, and earlier model C130s. Through the
Skunk Works and other operating units, the Aeronautics Sector performs a
substantial amount of classified work. The Sector anticipates an increased
percentage of its revenues in 1998 will result from the joint Japan/U.S.
production of the F-2 aircraft.

In 1997, the Corporation completed a critical design review of the X-33
single-stage-to-orbit reusable launch vehicle technology demonstrator, the next
generation of space shuttle, providing go-ahead for assembly of the subscale
prototype. The Corporation also began fabrication of two concept demonstration
aircraft and entered teaming agreements with Northrop Grumman and British
Aerospace in connection with the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Program. JSF Program
tasks include the design, development, construction and flight test of a full-
scale demonstration aircraft. In November 1997, the Sector's thrust reverser
business was divested.

Net sales by the Aeronautics Sector represented 21.5% of the Corporation's
total net sales in 1997. Net sales to the United States

-11-


Government, excluding Foreign Military Sales, represented 48.2% of the Sector's
net sales in 1997.

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

The Energy & Environment Sector's activities primarily focus on the management
of various U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facilities, environmental management
and remediation, and enrichment services. The Corporation is the largest
management and operations contractor within the DOE's system of laboratories,
managing energy research and defense programs at, among other facilities, the
Sandia National Laboratories, the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental
Laboratory and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These contractual
arrangements provide for the Corporation to be reimbursed for the cost of
operations and receive a fee for performing management services. Only the
management fees are reflected within Lockheed Martin's net sales and earnings.
The Corporation is one of two competitors for the DOE's Tank Waste Remediation
System-Privatization program.

Net sales by the Sector represented less than 1% of the Corporation's total
net sales in 1997. Net sales to the United States Government represented 81.2%
of the Sector's net sales in 1997.

-12-


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; owns
approximately a 20% interest in Loral Space & Communications, Ltd., a public
company; owns approximately a 34% interest in L-3 Communications Corporation, a
company formed in 1997 in connection with the repositioning of 10 of the
Corporation's business units, is a joint venturer with Boeing in United Space
Alliance and carries on other miscellaneous activities.

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 paragraph, are reported as Energy and Other and represent 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.

-13-


COMPETITION AND RISK

Lockheed Martin's sales to the U.S. Government, excluding Foreign Military
Sales, amounted to 65.5% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Sales to foreign governments comprised 17.3% of net sales for fiscal year 1997
and approximately 17.2% of net sales were to commercial customers (of which
21.3% were to international customers).

Lockheed Martin encounters extensive competition in all of its lines of
business with numerous other contractors on the basis of price, as well as
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
for the Joint Strike Fighter, winning the competition may be a significant
determinant of whether the competitors are able to remain in that line of
business. In addition, the decrease in the number of contracts awarded and
intensified competition for those contracts that are awarded increasingly
requires the Corporation to generate working capital and invest in fixed assets
in order to maintain and/or expand its government business.

-14-


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.

Of the 1997 net sales of the Corporation, 65.5% 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. 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 11 through

-15-


page 24 of the Corporation's 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders (the "1997
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, 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 with

-16-


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

While certain of the Corporation's businesses require relatively difficult to
obtain raw materials, 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.

-17-


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
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. The amount of the
fee recovered, if any, is related to the proportion of the work accomplished
prior to the termination for convenience and is determined by negotiation. 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

-18-


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, 1997, was $47.1
billion compared with $50.4 billion at the end of 1996. A portion of the change
in total negotiated backlog between year-end 1996 and 1997 is the impact of
divestitures. The total negotiated backlog of the Sectors at December 31, 1997
was as follows: Space & Strategic Missiles - $16.8 billion, Electronics - $9.8
billion, Information & Services - $6.7 billion, and Aeronautics - $13.5 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 and Other, had total negotiated backlog at December 31, 1997 of
$0.3 billion. 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

-19-


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 1997 year-end backlog, approximately $31.6 billion,
or 67.1%, 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,
former facilities and at certain other sites not owned by the Corporation
(third-party sites) where the Corporation has been designated a "Potentially
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

-20-


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

-21-


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

-22-


noncompliance, in certain instances, is being shifted from the government to the
contractor with such fines and penalties 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 32 through page 41. See
also "Note 16 -- Commitments and Contingencies" of the "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements" on page 41 through page 42 and "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Environmental
Matters" on page 23 through page 24 of the 1997 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 $1.016 billion in 1997, $1.042
billion in 1996 and $778 million in 1995 using IR&D and bid and proposal funds,
a substantial portion of

-23-


which was included in overhead allocable to United States Government contracts.
A significant portion of the increase in amounts expended in 1997 and 1996 as
compared to 1995 reflects the Corporation's acquisition of Loral Corporation.

During fiscal year 1997, 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, however, the Corporation's launch investment
strategy is requiring increasing investments by the Corporation in the
development and improvement of launch vehicles.

See "Research and development and similar costs" in "Note 1--Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies" of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements" on page 32 of the 1997 Annual Report.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1997, Lockheed Martin had approximately 173,000 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 33,000 of Lockheed Martin's employees are covered by 120 separate
collective

-24-


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.

YEAR 2000

The Corporation is near completion of a thorough assessment of the effect of
Year 2000 issues on its computer systems. The Corporation is also near
completion of the development of plans to resolve those issues identified in the
assessment. Current plans provide for substantially all of the Corporation's
systems to be Year 2000 compliant by the end of 1999. Based on information
currently available from the Corporation's internal assessment, management does
not believe that the costs associated with Year 2000 activities over the next
two years will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's consolidated
results of operations or financial position.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

At December 31, 1997, the Corporation operated in approximately 486 offices,
facilities, manufacturing plants, warehouses, service centers, and laboratories
throughout the United States and internationally. Of these, the Corporation
owned floor space at approximately 70 locations aggregating approximately 44.6
million square feet. The Corporation leased space at approximately 416 of its
locations aggregating approximately 25.8 million square feet. Additionally, the
Corporation manages and/or occupies various government-owned facilities at
Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama; Livermore, Palmdale, San Diego, Santa
Cruz, Sunnyvale and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California; Cape Canaveral Air
Force Station and Kennedy Space Center in Florida; Marietta, Georgia; Kauai,
Hawaii; Idaho Falls and Scoville, Idaho; the United States Enrichment facilities
at Paducah, Kentucky and Piketon, Ohio; the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility near
New Orleans, Louisiana; Stennis Space Center in Mississippi; Las Vegas, Nevada;
Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico; Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory at
Niskayuna, New York; the Department of Energy facility at Oak Ridge, Tennessee;
Houston and Ft. Worth, Texas, among others. The United States Government also
furnishes certain equipment and property used by the Corporation.

-28-


The Corporation owns a corporate office building located in Bethesda, Maryland
in fee simple, and leases corporate office facilities at WestLake Village,
California, Bethesda, Maryland, and Arlington (Crystal City), Virginia. In
addition, the Corporation owns and leases major office and manufacturing
facilities for various sectors at the following locations, and with
approximately the indicated square footage:

The above information excludes facilities associated with the former Access

as of November 17, 1997, as well as the facilities owned and leased by L-3
Communications Corporation.

Finally, the Corporation owns various large tracts of land which are available
for sale or development. The location and approximate size of these large
tracts include:


LOCATION ACREAGE

1. Potrero Creek, CA 9100
2. Beaumont Gateway, CA 2800
3. Orlando, FL (under option) 2000

5. Austin, TX 600


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.

-30-


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

-31-


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. United States Government investigations of
the Corporation, whether relating to these Government contracts or conducted for
other reasons, 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").

As previously reported, on June 7, 1990, Boggs, et al. v. Divested Atomic
Energy Corporation, et al., was filed against various defendants including
Lockheed Martin Energy Systems ("LMES"). Plaintiffs' request for class
certification was granted

-32-


and the case is pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Ohio. Plaintiffs seek $600 million in compensatory and $600 million
in punitive damages 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 LMES and the Department of Energy ("DOE").

LMES has received a notice of violation from the Tennessee Department of
Environmental Quality relating to alleged violations of state hazardous waste
management regulations in connection with the company's operations at the DOE
complex at Oak Ridge Tennessee. Although the DOE is the principal operator of
this complex, LMES has entered into an arrangement with the DOE by which the
company takes direct regulatory responsibility for certain day-to-day activities
under the company's control at the K-25 and Y-12 facilities within the complex.
The state made an initial penalty demand of just under $500,000 in connection
with the notice of violation, and the company is in negotiation with the state
over the content of the notice as well as the amount of the penalty sought.

The District Attorney for Mendocino County, California has notified the
Corporation that it has prepared a civil complaint naming the Corporation, M4
Environmental L.P. and a third party for

-33-


alleged violations of state and county environmental laws at the Retech facility
in Ukiah, California. The Retech operations relate to efforts by Lockheed Martin
Advanced Environmental Systems to develop technologies for treating mixed
radioactive/hazardous wastes generated by DOE facilities. Although none of the
District Attorney's allegations implicate radioactive materials, the allegations
cover a broad cross-section of conventional environmental laws, including air
and water resources, hazardous materials handling, and storage tank issues, as
well as alleged violations of California's unfair business practices statute.
Negotiations are at the very earliest stages with the District Attorney's
office, and while the potential liability of the Corporation, if any, cannot be
estimated at this time it could be in excess of $100,000.

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. 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. As is common practice, at the time the 1991 consent decree was
lodged, the EPA filed a suit with the United States

-34-


District Court for the Central District of California in order to provide that
Court with jurisdiction over the Consent Decree. The Corporation filed 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
former 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 16 -Commitments and Contingencies" of the "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements" on page 41 through page 42 of the 1997 Annual
Report). On August 1, 1996, the Corporation consummated a settlement with a
group of 1,350 residents living in the vicinity of the former 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 former facility does not and
has not posed a risk to the community. As the result of publicity surrounding
the

-35-


settlement, the Corporation has been named in two purported federal class action
suits and a series of seventeen state actions on behalf of approximately 3,400
individual residents and former residents of Burbank alleging similar claims of
personal injury, property damage and fear of future illnesses. 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 aircraft manufacturing facility (In re Burbank Environmental
Litigation), five similar "copycat" actions were filed against the Corporation
in connection with the Corporation's former operations in Redlands, California
(e.g., Carrillo v. LMC). More lawsuits are expected in the Redlands area.

The Corporation previously reported that Lockheed Martin Electro-Optical
Systems was served with two grand jury subpoenas issued by the United States
District Court for the Central District of California and two Department of
Defense Inspector General's ("DOD IG") subpoenas all relating to the accounting
treatment of contract payments received from the Government. The United States
Attorney's Office for the Central District of California has advised the
Corporation that it has closed its criminal investigation. The Government's
civil investigation continues.

-36-


The Corporation previously reported that Lockheed Martin Electronics and
Missiles was served with a DOD IG subpoena in connection with a Government
investigation of allegations that the Corporation's proposal for the Paperless
LANTIRN Automated Depot contract was defectively priced. The Government has
advised the Corporation that this investigation has been closed.

As previously reported, on July 11, 1997, the Corporation was served with a
grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the Western
District of Tennessee, seeking documents related to the operation of the Milan
Army Ammunition Plant. The Corporation has been informed that the subpoena is a
continuation of a kickback investigation initiated in January 1994 and
previously reported by the Corporation. The Department of Justice has advised
the Corporation that it is no longer pursuing a criminal investigation of the
Corporation. The Government's civil investigation of the Corporation continues.
The Milan Army Ammunition Plant was operated by 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.

As previously reported, on July 7, 1995, the Corporation was served with a
subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
New York seeking documents relating to

-37-


a number of programs conducted at Lockheed Martin Tactical Defense Systems -
Great Neck. 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.

As previously reported, by letter dated September 21, 1995, the Corporation
informed the DOD IG that the Corporation had become aware of certain potential
accounting issues which the Corporation was investigating with respect to the
LANTIRN program. Subsequently, the United States Attorney's Office for the
Middle District of Florida advised the Corporation that a grand jury is
investigating allegations of fraud in connection with certain LANTIRN program
contracts. These allegations were first made in qui tam complaints filed
against the Corporation and unsealed on July 16, 1996. In connection with its
investigation, the Government has served two DOD IG subpoenas on the Corporation
and six grand jury subpoenas on employees of the Corporation. The Corporation
and its employees have responded to the subpoenas and the Government's
investigation continues.

-38-


As previously reported, 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.

As previously reported, 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 pertaining to an investigation of cost accounting
issues in connection with NASA service and support contracts. The United States
Attorney's office for the Southern District of Texas has advised the Corporation
that it has closed its criminal investigation. The Government's civil
investigation continues.

As previously reported, 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

-39-


District of New York seeking documents related to tax and financial reporting
issues and the outsourcing of quality tasks contained in various contract
proposals. The Corporation expects this investigation to continue.

As previously reported, on February 6, 1997, three former employees of the
Corporation were served with subpoenas ad testificandum (to testify) 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 has cooperated within the Government's
investigation.

As previously reported, on August 19, 1997, Lockheed Martin IMS was served
with a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the
District of Columbia seeking documents relating to a procurement of parking
meter and other services by the District of Columbia. The Corporation has
cooperated with the Government's investigation.

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 in the Office of General Counsel of the Corporation
the probability is remote that

-40-


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 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of 1997. At a Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Corporation held
on February 26, 1998 (the "Special Meeting"), the stockholders of the
Corporation approved a proposal (the "Merger Proposal") to issue shares of
Lockheed Martin Common Stock to stockholders of Northrop Grumman in connection
with the Merger. The vote on the Merger Proposal was as follows:

At the Special Meeting, the stockholders of the Corporation also approved a
proposal (the "Charter Amendment Proposal") to amend the Charter of the
Corporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Lockheed Martin
Common Stock. The vote on the Charter Amendment Proposal was as follows:
