ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         As previously reported, on June 2, 2005, L-3 Communications Titan
Corporation (f/k/a "The Titan Corporation") ("Titan") entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 2, 2005, with L-3 Communications
Corporation ("L-3 Communications") and L-3 Communications' wholly-owned
subsidiary Saturn VI Acquisition Corp., pursuant to which L-3 Communications
agreed to acquire all of Titan's outstanding shares of common stock for $23.10
per share in cash, without interest (less applicable withholding taxes), as
described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by L-3 Communications with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on June 3, 2005. L-3 Communications
completed the acquisition of Titan on July 29, 2005. A copy of the press release
announcing the completion of the acquisition is incorporated by reference from
the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by L-3 Communications with the SEC on
August 2, 2005.

         In addition, as a condition to L-3 Communications completing the
acquisition of Titan, counsel for Titan entered into two stipulations of
settlement with counsel for plaintiffs with respect to various actions,
including securities and holders putative class actions and derivative actions,
brought against Titan and certain of its officers and directors in federal and
state courts arising out of, among other things, violations of the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act and Titan's failed attempted merger with the Lockheed
Martin Corporation. L-3 Communications was named as a defendant in one of these
actions that sought to enjoin the Titan merger with L-3 Communications. L-3 is a
party to the stipulation of settlement with respect to that action. All of the
parties to these actions have executed stipulations of settlement and filed them
with the appropriate courts following completion of confirmatory discovery,
including the review by plaintiffs' counsel of certain Titan and L-3
Communications documents and the taking of several depositions. The settlements
remain subject to court approval. If the settlements are not approved by the
court, Titan, certain of its former officers and directors, and L-3
Communications would have to defend the underlying lawsuits.
