GENERAL DYNAMICS CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

(A)  Basis of Preparation

     The term “company” refers to General Dynamics Corporation and all of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, the company believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

     In the opinion of the company, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and October 1, 2000.

(B)  New Accounting Standards

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” on June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, to be accounted for using the purchase method. The provisions of SFAS 142 eliminate amortization of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives, and require an impairment assessment at least annually by applying a fair-value-based test. The company is required to adopt SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. The company anticipates an annual increase to net earnings of approximately $45, or $.22 per diluted share, from the elimination of goodwill amortization. Management does not expect the other provisions of the statements to have a material impact on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

     The company adopted SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS 137 and 138, on January 1, 2001. SFAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income based on the guidelines stipulated in SFAS 133. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

     The company’s operations attempt to minimize the effects of currency risk by borrowing externally in the local currency or by hedging their purchases made in foreign currencies, when practical. The company is exposed to the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on the U.S. dollar value of

6


 

earnings from its international operations. As a matter of policy, the company does not engage in currency speculation. The company periodically enters into foreign currency derivatives, including forward exchange and currency swap contracts, to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The adjustments to fair value related to these cash flow hedges during the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 resulted in a gain of $5, thus decreasing accumulated other comprehensive loss. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, the adjustments resulted in an increase to accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1. There were no material derivative instruments designated as fair value or net investment hedges during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001.

(C)  Comprehensive Income

     Comprehensive income was $241 and $293 for the three-month periods and $711 and $679 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and October 1, 2000, respectively. Comprehensive income consists primarily of net earnings ($230 and $294 for the three-month periods and $697 and $682 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and October 1, 2000, respectively), foreign currency translation adjustments, and in 2001, fair value adjustments for both a currency swap (see Note I) and available-for-sale securities.

(D)  Acquisitions

     On September 28, 2001, the company acquired Motorola, Inc.’s Integrated Information Systems Group for $825 in cash. The company financed the purchase through the issuance of commercial paper. The Integrated Information Systems Group, renamed General Dynamics Decision Systems, provides defense and government customers with technologies, products and systems for secure communication, information assurance, situational awareness and integrated communication systems. The purchase price has been allocated to the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, with the excess recorded as goodwill (see Note H). The estimates are preliminary at September 30, 2001, but will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition. Decision Systems is part of the Information Systems and Technology business group and will be included in the company’s results of operations beginning in the fourth quarter.

     On July 25, 2001, the company acquired Empresa Nacional Santa Barbara de Industrias Militaires, S.A., of Madrid, Spain, as well as Santa Barbara Blindados, S.A., of Seville for $4. The new combined entity, which was renamed Santa Barbara Sistemas, S.A., produces combat vehicles and munitions. Santa Barbara is part of the Combat Systems business group and is included in the company’s results of operations from the closing date.

     During the third quarter, the company and the Boeing Company terminated their May 2001 agreement to acquire certain net assets of the Boeing Company’s ordnance operating unit. Additionally, on October 26, 2001, the company and Newport News Shipbuilding Inc. (NYSE:NNS) terminated their April 2001 agreement whereby the company would acquire for cash the outstanding shares of NNS.

     On June 5, 2001, the company acquired substantially all of the assets of Galaxy Aerospace Company, LP (Galaxy Aerospace) for $355 in cash. The company financed the purchase through the issuance of commercial paper. The selling parties may receive additional payments, up to a maximum of $315 through 2006, contingent upon the achievement of specific revenue targets. Galaxy Aerospace designs and manufactures the super mid-size Gulfstream 200 and the mid-size Gulfstream 100

7


 

(previously the Galaxy and Astra SPX aircraft, respectively). The purchase price has been allocated to the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, with the excess recorded as goodwill (see Note H). Certain of the estimates are preliminary at September 30, 2001, but will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition. Galaxy Aerospace is part of the Aerospace business group and is included in the company’s results of operations from the closing date.

     On January 26, 2001, the company acquired Primex Technologies, Inc. (renamed, General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems) for $334 in cash, plus the assumption of $204 in debt (see Note I). The company financed the purchase through the issuance of commercial paper. Ordnance and Tactical Systems provides a variety of munitions, propellants, satellite propulsion systems and electronics products to the U.S. and its allies, as well as domestic and international industrial customers. The purchase price has been allocated to the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, with the excess recorded as goodwill (see Note H). Certain of the estimates are preliminary at September 30, 2001, but will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition. Ordnance and Tactical Systems is part of the Combat Systems business group and is included in the company’s results of operations from the closing date.

(E)  Earnings Per Share

     Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are as follows (in thousands):

                                                 
    Three-months ended   Nine-months ended
   
 
    September 30   October 1   September 30   October 1
            2001   2000           2001   2000
           
 
         
 
Basic
            201,452       198,675               200,961       199,892  
Diluted
            203,570       200,587               202,798       201,352

(F)  Contracts in Process

     Contracts in process primarily represent costs and accrued profit related to defense contracts and programs, and consist of the following:

                 
    September 30   December 31
    2001   2000
   
 
Net contract costs and estimated profits
  $ 919     $ 520  
Other contract costs
    773       718  
 
   
     
 
 
  $ 1,692     $ 1,238  
 
   
     
 

     Contract costs are net of advances and progress payments and include production costs and related overhead, such as general and administrative expenses. Other contract costs primarily represent amounts required to be recorded under generally accepted accounting principles that are not currently allocable to contracts, such as a portion of the company’s estimated workers’ compensation, other insurance-related assessments, retirement benefits and environmental expenses. Recovery of these costs under contracts is considered probable based on the company’s backlog. If the level of backlog in the future does not support the continued deferral of these costs, the profitability of the company’s remaining contracts could be affected.

(G)  Inventories

     Inventories consist primarily of commercial aircraft components, as follows:

                 
    September 30   December 31
    2001   2000
   
 
Work in process
  $ 694     $ 405  
Raw materials
    333       289  
Pre-owned aircraft
    229       236  
Other
    30       23  
 
   
     
 
 
  $ 1,286     $ 953  
 
   
     
 

     The significant increase in work in process is primarily due to the acquisition of Galaxy Aerospace (see Note D). Other inventories consist primarily of coal and aggregates, which are stated at the lower of average cost or estimated net realizable value.

(H)  Intangible Assets and Goodwill, Net

     Intangible assets consist of the following:

                 
    September 30   December 31
    2001   2000
   
 
Contracts and programs acquired
  $ 630     $ 446  
Other
    119       82  
 
   
     
 
 
  $ 749     $ 528  
 
   
     
 

9


 

     Intangible assets are shown net of accumulated amortization of $160 and $139 at September 30, 2001, and December 31, 2000, respectively. Contracts and programs acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 25 to 40 years. Other consists primarily of aircraft product design, customer lists, workforce and purchase options on buildings currently leased. Other intangible assets are amortized over periods ranging from 3 to 21 years.

     Goodwill resulted from the company’s business acquisitions. Goodwill acquired prior to July 1, 2001, is amortized on a straight-line basis primarily over 40 years and is shown net of accumulated amortization of $178 and $131 at September 30, 2001, and December 31, 2000, respectively. As of September 30, 2001, approximately $450 of goodwill related to the acquisition of Decision Systems is not subject to amortization.

(I)  Debt

     Debt (excluding finance operations) consists of the following:

                 
    September 30   December 31
    2001   2000
   
 
Commercial paper, net of unamortized discount
  $ 1,487     $ 340  
Floating rate notes
    500        
Senior notes
    139       139  
Term debt
    55        
Industrial development bonds
    15       15  
Other
    43       8  
 
   
     
 
 
    2,239       502  
Less current portion
    1,500       340  
 
   
     
 
 
  $ 739     $ 162  
 
   
     
 

     As of September 30, 2001, the company had $1,490 par value discounted commercial paper outstanding at an average yield of approximately 3.13 percent with an average term of approximately 25 days.

     On August 27, 2001, the company issued $500 of three-year floating rate notes. The notes, which reset quarterly at three-month LIBOR plus .22 percent, have an initial rate of 3.7325%. The notes are redeemable in whole or in part at any time after September 1, 2002, and prior to their maturity at 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus any accrued but unpaid interest on the date the notes are redeemed. The net proceeds of the issuance were used to repay a portion of the borrowings under the company’s commercial paper program. Also during the third quarter, the company secured two new committed lines of credit totaling $2 billion, split evenly between a 364-day and 5-year term facilities. Both facilities back the commercial paper program and replace the company’s previous lines of credit, which totaled $1.4 billion. On July 11, 2001, the company secured a $3 billion credit facility in anticipation of the acquisition of Newport News Shipbuilding Inc. The company cancelled this facility on October 30, 2001, as a result of the termination of the acquisition agreement discussed in Note D.

     In connection with the company’s 1997 acquisition of Information Systems, Computing Devices Canada and Computing Devices U.K., the company borrowed in Canadian dollars the equivalent of $220.

10


 

In April 1998, the company repaid $70 of this note. In September 1998, Computing Devices Canada refinanced $150 with privately-placed senior notes maturing in 2008. Concurrently, Computing Devices Canada entered into a currency swap, which fixed in U.S. dollars the principal of $150 and annual interest at 6.32 percent, payable semi-annually. At September 30, 2001, the fair value of the debt is $155, and the fair value of the currency swap would result in a $15 gain.

     As part of the acquisition of Primex Technologies, Inc., the company assumed $204 of outstanding debt, $149 of which was repaid at the time of the acquisition. The remaining $55 is indicated as term debt with mandatory sinking fund payments of $5 in December of the years 2001 through 2007. The remaining $20 is payable in December 2008. Interest is payable in June and December at the rate of 7.5 percent annually.

     At September 30, 2001, other consists primarily of a $22 note payable to a Spanish government entity and three capital lease arrangements totaling $18. Annual principal payments on the note payable are $2 for 2001 through 2003, $10 in 2004, $1 in 2005, with the balance due in 2006. Interest is payable in December at the rate of 3.75 annually.

(K)  Income Taxes

     The company had a net deferred tax asset of $120 and $163 at September 30, 2001, and December 31, 2000, respectively. The current portion was $312 and $318 at September 30, 2001 and December 30, 2000, respectively, and was included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Based on the level of projected earnings and current backlog, no valuation allowance was required for the company’s deferred tax assets at September 30, 2001, and December 31, 2000.

     During the first quarter of 2001, the company reduced its liabilities for tax contingencies. The company recognized a non-cash benefit of $28, or $.14 per diluted share, as a result of this adjustment.

11


 

During the third quarter of 2000, the company recognized a benefit of $90, or $.45 per diluted share, as a result of settlement of outstanding tax issues for the years 1990 through 1993.

     The company has recorded liabilities for tax contingencies for open years. Resolution of tax matters for these years is not expected to have a materially unfavorable impact on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

(L)  Commitments and Contingencies

     Litigation

     From time to time, the company is subject to various legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The company does not consider any of such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to its business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition. Claims made by and against the company regarding the development of the Navy’s A-12 aircraft are discussed in Note M.

     On July 13, 1995, General Dynamics Corporation was named as a defendant in a complaint filed in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, titled Hunt, et al. v. General Dynamics Corporation, et al. The complaint also named as defendants General Dynamics’ two insurance brokers: the London broker, Lloyd Thompson, Ltd., and the United States broker, Willis Corroon Corporation of Missouri. The plaintiffs are members of certain Lloyd’s of London syndicates and British insurance companies who sold the company four aggregate excess loss insurance policies covering the company’s self-insured workers’ compensation program at Electric Boat for four policy years, from July 1, 1988 to June 30, 1992. General Dynamics filed counterclaims against the plaintiffs and cross-claims against Lloyd Thompson. On May 9, 2001, General Dynamics favorably settled its claims with the plaintiffs, and on September 12, 2001, General Dynamics favorably settled its cross-claims against the London broker. The settlements did not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

     Environmental

     The company is directly or indirectly involved in certain Superfund sites in which the company, along with other major U.S. corporations, has been designated a PRP by the EPA or a state environmental agency with respect to past shipments of waste to sites now requiring environmental cleanup. Based on a site by site analysis of the estimated quantity of waste contributed by the company relative to the estimated total quantity of waste, the company believes its liability at any individual site, or in the aggregate, is not material. The company is also involved in the investigation, cleanup and remediation of various conditions at sites it currently or formerly owned or operated where the release of hazardous materials may have occurred.

     The company measures its environmental exposure based on enacted laws and existing regulations and on the technology expected to be approved to complete the remediation effort. The estimated cost to perform each of the elements of the remediation effort is based on when those elements are expected to be performed. Where a reasonable basis for apportionment exists with other PRPs, the company estimates only its allowable share of the joint and several remediation liability for a site, taking into consideration the solvency of other participating PRPs. Based on a site by site analysis, the company believes it has adequate accruals for any liability it may incur arising from sites currently or formerly owned or operated

12


 

at which there is a known environmental condition, or Superfund or other multi-party sites at which the company is a PRP.

     The company is also a defendant in other lawsuits and claims and in other investigations of varying nature. The company believes its potential liabilities in these proceedings, in the aggregate, will not be material to the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Other

     A major coal customer is seeking arbitration before a tripartite panel of the American Arbitration Association. The customer alleged in its claim that the company has breached the coal supply agreement by charging excessive seller costs and failing to use best efforts in operating the business in a commercially reasonable fashion for the period of January 1998 to the present. The company anticipates that the panel will hear the claim by the third quarter of 2002 at the earliest, and does not expect the outcome of this proceeding to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

(M)  Termination of A-12 Program

     The A-12 contract was a fixed-price incentive contract for the full-scale development and initial production of the Navy’s new carrier-based Advanced Tactical Aircraft. In January 1991, the Navy terminated the company’s A-12 aircraft contract for default. Both the company and McDonnell Douglas, now owned by the Boeing Company, (the contractors) were parties to the contract with the Navy, each had full responsibility to the Navy for performance under the contract, and both are jointly and severally liable for potential liabilities arising from the termination. As a consequence of the termination for default, the Navy demanded that the contractors repay $1,352 in unliquidated progress payments, but agreed to defer collection of the amount pending a decision by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims on the contractors’ challenge to the termination for default, or a negotiated settlement.

     The contractors filed a complaint on June 7, 1991, in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims contesting the default termination. In December 1994, the court issued an order vacating the termination for default. On December 19, 1995, following further proceedings, the court issued an order converting the termination for default to a termination for convenience. On March 31, 1998, a final judgment was entered in favor of the contractors for $1,200 plus interest.

     On July 1, 1999, the Court of Appeals found that the trial court erred in converting the termination for default to a termination for convenience without first determining whether a default existed. The Court of Appeals remanded the case for determination of whether the government’s default termination was justified. The trial on remand commenced on May 7, 2001, and concluded on June 20, 2001.

     On August 31, 2001, the Trial Court issued an opinion upholding the determination for default of the A-12 contract. In its opinion, the Trial Court rejected all of the government’s arguments to sustain the default termination except for one, schedule. With respect to the government’s schedule arguments, the Trial Court held that the schedule the government unilaterally imposed was reasonable and enforceable, and that the government had not waived that schedule. On the sole ground that the contractors were not going to deliver the first aircraft on the date provided in the unilateral schedule, the Trial Court upheld the default termination and entered judgment for the government.

13


 

     The contractors filed post-trial motions seeking reconsideration by the Trial Court of its opinion and judgment. On October 4, 2001, the Trial Court denied the contractors’ post-trial motions. The company intends to appeal.

     The company continues to believe strongly in the merits of its case. The company believes that in concluding to the contrary on remand, the Trial Court applied incorrect legal standards and otherwise erred as a matter of law. The company believes that it has substantial arguments on appeal to persuade the Court of Appeals to reverse the Trial Court’s judgment.

     If, contrary to the company’s expectations, the default termination is sustained on appeal, the contractors would be required to repay the government $1,352 for progress payments already received for the A-12 contract plus interest (approximately $950 at September 30, 2001). In this outcome, the company’s liability would be approximately $1.1 billion pre-tax ($615 after tax) to be taken as a charge against discontinued operations. The contractors have asked the Navy to confirm the deferral of payment through the pendency of the appeal. The Navy has not yet advised the contractors of its position on this request. In the alternative, the company will seek relief through the courts.

     In the event the default termination is sustained on appeal, the company will be able to repay the unliquidated progress payments plus interest.

GENERAL DYNAMICS CORPORATION

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

September 30, 2001

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

Forward-Looking Statements

     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Results of Operations and Financial Condition contains forward-looking statements, which are based on management’s expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “scheduled,” “estimates,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements which include but are not limited to projections of revenues, earnings, segment performance, cash flows, contract awards, aircraft production, deliveries and backlog stability. Forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future results and trends may differ materially from what is forecast in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation: the company’s successful execution of internal performance plans; general U.S. and international political and economic conditions; changing priorities or reductions in the U.S. government defense budget; termination of government contracts due to unilateral government action; changing customer demand or preferences for business aircraft; changes from the company’s expectations with respect to its customers’ exercise of business aircraft options, as well as reliance on contract performance by a small number of large fleet customers for a significant portion of the firm aircraft contracts backlog; performance issues with key suppliers and subcontractors; the status or outcome of legal and/or regulatory proceedings; the status or outcome of labor negotiations; and the timing and occurrence (or non-occurrence) of circumstances beyond the company’s control.

Results of Operations and Outlook — Overview

     Net sales increased 21 percent to $3 billion for the three-month period and increased 13 percent to $8.7 billion for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001. Revenue grew 13 percent and 9 percent for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, after adjusting for the effect of business acquisitions and pre-owned aircraft activity, and was realized by all of the company’s business groups. Operating earnings for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 grew by 12 percent and 11 percent, respectively, driven essentially by revenue growth in all business groups, business acquisitions and margin improvement in the Aerospace group. Quarter over quarter earnings per share before considering favorable tax adjustments is up 11 percent. On a year-to-date basis, earnings per share increased 13 percent over the prior year before considering favorable tax adjustments. General and administrative expenses increased over the prior year amounts on both a quarter and year-to-date basis, due primarily to growth in the company’s business through acquisitions. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales have remained essentially consistent for the comparative periods.

17


 

     The company ended the third quarter of 2001 with a total backlog of $29.9 billion, an increase of over 50 percent from year-end when total backlog was $19.7 billion. The majority of the increase is attributable to new orders in the Information Systems and Technology, Aerospace and Combat Systems business groups. Information Systems and Technology backlog increased to $5.2 billion from $1.9 billion, Aerospace backlog increased to $9.0 billion from $4.4 billion, and Combat Systems increased to $5.8 billion from $1.8 billion.

Results of Operations — Business Groups

     The following table sets forth the net sales and operating earnings by business group for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and October 1, 2000:

Marine Systems

      Over the last year Marine Systems revenues have grown, but with a mix shift from higher profit fixed-price construction programs to cost-reimbursable next generation design, development, and early production contracts with lower available fee structures. As a result, operating earnings have remained stable. During the next twelve months, Marine Systems revenues and earnings are expected to sustain themselves at current levels as the existing design contracts continue and new design and construction programs such as the recent
T–AKE award and the anticipated Trident submarine design conversion work are introduced.

18


 

Aerospace

     Operating earnings increased during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, due primarily to improved cost performance in both green production and the completion process. Sales were favorably impacted by revenues associated with the acquisition of Galaxy Aerospace Company, LP (Galaxy Aerospace) in June 2001. Sales for the nine-month period ended in the current year are slightly higher as compared with the prior year period, during which Gulfstream experienced an exceptional volume of pre-owned aircraft sales activity. Gulfstream delivered 24 and 59 green aircraft and 24 and 60 completion deliveries during the current three- and nine-month periods, respectively. In the previous year, Gulfstream delivered 17 and 53 green aircraft and 16 and 51 completion deliveries during the three- and nine-month periods, respectively. As discussed further in the Backlog section, orders for the G200 increased backlog significantly in comparison to the prior year quarter.

     Overall the company expects to produce approximately seven less aircraft next year, and announced its plans to engage in rather aggressive cost cutting activities including a modest reduction in Gulfstream’s workforce to prepare for the somewhat reduced volume.

Information Systems and Technology

     Sales and operating earnings increased during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, due primarily to the mix in programs. Operating margins are consistent with the prior year periods. Operating results of Motorola Inc.’s Integrated Information Systems Group, renamed General Dynamics Decision Systems (Decision Systems) at time of acquisition, will be included with those of the company beginning in the fourth quarter. Decision Systems is expected to add approximately $830 in revenues to the operating results of the Information Systems and Technology business group during 2002.

Combat Systems

     Net sales and operating earnings increased during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, due primarily to the acquisition of Ordnance and Tactical Systems (OTS), formerly Primex Technologies, on January 26, 2001, as well as an increase in volume due to start-up programs, including the Interim Armored Vehicle (IAV) and Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAAV) programs. OTS is anticipated to add approximately $500 in revenues for the year. Operating margins are lower than the prior year periods due to the previously mentioned start-up programs and the OTS acquisition, both of which have lower margins than the historical average for the group. In addition, the acquisition of Santa Barbara Sistemas, S.A. (Santa Barbara) on July 25, 2001, is also expected to initially have a slight downward impact on operating margins, as its margins are lower than the group average.

     In late October 2001, the company completed negotiations with the United Auto Workers union, ending a two-week strike at its Land Systems operating unit, and ratified a new, four-year labor contract. This agreement covers approximately 20 percent of the employees at Land Systems. The strike did not have a material impact on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

19


 

Other

     Operating earnings decreased during the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, due to operations at both the aggregates and coal businesses. Sales increased for the nine-month period of the current year as compared to the prior year due to volume and operations at the aggregates business. Operating earnings increased for the same period due to non-recurring charges associated with the coal operations in the prior year.

Defense Businesses

     Total backlog represents the estimated remaining sales value of work to be performed under firm contracts. Funded backlog for government programs represents the portion of total backlog that has been appropriated by Congress and funded by the procuring agency.

     Marine Systems

     Subsequent to quarter end, in early October 2001, the company was awarded a $709 contract by the U.S. Navy for the design and construction of the first two ships in the T-AKE program, a new class of combat logistics force ships. Work on the contract is expected to start immediately, with delivery of the first ship scheduled for 2005. The award also includes options exercisable by the Navy for 10 additional ships over the next six years for a potential contract value of $3.7 billion.

     In November 2001, the U.S. Navy announced that it will issue a revised Request for Proposal for the next generation Surface Combatant Program. The program, which was formerly known as DD 21 and specified a destroyer-class ship, was redesignated DD(X) and is being reorganized so that more of the technology it uses can be adapted to produce a family of advanced technology surface combatants. The company currently participates in the DD 21 Shipbuilder Alliance as the prime contractor for the design

20


 

phases and leads one of the competing design teams. The company will participate in the design competition for the DD(X). It is anticipated that a design will be selected in the spring of 2002.

     In September 2001, the company was awarded a $175 contract from British Petroleum (BP) for a fourth double-hull oil tanker for use in delivering crude oil to refineries on the U.S. West Coast. BP placed orders for three tankers in September 2000. Design work on the tankers is in process and construction will begin in early 2002. The first ship on the contract is scheduled for delivery in late 2003, with deliveries planned for the subsequent ships in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

     Information Systems and Technology

     In September 2001, the company was awarded a $390 contract for Phase II of the Improved Mobile Subscriber Equipment (IMSE) tactical communications systems for the Republic of China Army, Taiwan. IMSE is a Foreign Military Sales program and is an improved, exportable version of the U.S. Army’s tactical communications system, the Mobile Subscriber Equipment system. This contract is the second phase of a three-phase program.

     In July 2001, the company was awarded a $2.4 billion contract by the UK Ministry of Defence as prime contractor for the development and integration of the BOWMAN communications system. BOWMAN is a secure digital voice and data communication system for the UK armed forces. It is anticipated that all army vehicles will be equipped and all personnel will be trained on the system by October 2007.

     Combat Systems

     In July 2001, the company was awarded a $712 contract by the U.S. Marine Corps for the systems development and demonstration phase of the AAAV program. This contract starts the next phase in the development of the AAAV, which began with an award of a $200 demonstration/validation contract to the company in 1996. The total estimated value of the production program, including international sales, exceeds $5 billion.

     In April 2001, the U.S. Army’s six-year requirements contract award to GM GDLS Defense Group, a joint venture between the company and General Motors Canada Ltd., to equip its Brigade Combat Teams with an eight-wheeled armored vehicle (IAV program) was upheld after protest by a competitor. The total estimated value of this contract is $4 billion for 2,131 vehicles.

     In March 2001, the company was awarded a $741 multiyear contract by the U.S. Army to deliver an additional 307 M1A2 Abrams upgrade tanks with the System Enhancement Package. This is a follow-on to the $1.3 billion, 580 vehicle contract awarded in 1996, and extends the company’s deliveries to 2004.

Aerospace

     Funded aircraft backlog represents orders for which the company has entered into a definitive purchase contract with no material contingencies and has received a non-refundable deposit from the customer. Total backlog includes options to purchase new aircraft and agreements to provide future aircraft maintenance and support services. A significant portion of the total backlog consists of

21


 

agreements with three unaffiliated customers who purchase the aircraft for use in their respective fractional ownership programs, two of which are in the start-up phase.

     With the acquisition of Galaxy Aerospace in June 2001, the company added two new aircraft to its existing product lines, the super mid-size Gulfstream 200 (G200) and the mid-size Gulfstream 100 (G100) (previously the Galaxy and Astra SPX aircraft, respectively). Acquired backlog included aircraft contracts at various stages, with the majority in the completion stage. Concurrent with the consummation of the Galaxy Aerospace acquisition, the company received an order from Executive Jet, Inc. for 50 G200 aircraft and options for 50 more. This order also included maintenance and support services for the 100 aircraft. The total estimated value of this contract, if all options are exercised, is approximately $2 billion.

     In June 2001, the company received an order for 12 aircraft with options for 23 more from UAL Corporation’s newly-created subsidiary, United Bizjet Holdings, which plans to offer its transportation services under the name “Avolar.” The 12 firm orders consist of seven Gulfstream IV-SPs and five Gulfstream Vs. The options are for nine GIV-SPs and fourteen GVs. In September 2001, the company received an additional order from United Bizjet Holdings for 24 G200 aircraft with options for 43 more. The total estimated value of these orders, if all options are exercised, is approximately $2.6 billion.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

     Cash flows from operating activities decreased slightly this year over last year due to an overall increase in working capital stemming from the company’s growth from business acquisitions. The company expects to continue to generate funds from operations in excess of its short- and long-term liquidity needs.

     As discussed further in Note M to the Consolidated Financial Statements, litigation on the A-12 program termination has been in progress since 1991. In the event the company is ultimately found to have been in default on the contract, the company will be able to repay the government approximately $1.1 billion for progress payments already received on the A-12 contract and interest and retain ample liquidity through internally generated cash flow from operations, additional untapped short- and long-term borrowing capacity, as well as the ability to raise capital in the equity markets.

Investing Activities

     On September 28, 2001, the company acquired Motorola, Inc.’s Integrated Information Systems Group for $825 in cash. The new entity will be known as General Dynamics Decision Systems. The purchase was financed through the issuance of commercial paper. Decision Systems provides defense and government customers with technologies, products and systems for secure communication, information assurance, situational awareness and integrated communication systems. Decision Systems is part of the Information Systems and Technology business group and will be included in the company’s results of operations beginning in the fourth quarter.

     On July 25, 2001, the company acquired Empresa Nacional Santa Barbara de Industrias Militaires, S.A., of Madrid, Spain, as well as Santa Barbara Blindados, S.A., of Seville for $4. The new combined entity, which was renamed Santa Barbara Sistemas, S.A., produces combat vehicles and munitions. Santa Barbara has been included in the results of operations of the Combat Systems group from the closing date.

     On June 5, 2001, the company acquired substantially all of the assets of Galaxy Aerospace, for $355 in cash. The company financed the purchase through the issuance of commercial paper. The selling parties may receive additional payments, up to a maximum of $315 through 2006, contingent upon the achievement of specific revenue targets. Galaxy Aerospace has been included in the results of operations of the Aerospace business group from the closing date.

     On February 15, 2001, Gulfstream sold its engine overhaul business for $60 and purchased airframe service and maintenance operations located in Florida, Minnesota, Nevada and Texas for $17.

     On January 26, 2001, the company acquired Primex Technologies, Inc. (renamed, General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems) for $334 in cash. The company financed the acquisition through the issuance of commercial paper. Ordnance and Tactical Systems has been included in the results of operations of the Combat Systems group from the closing date.

Financing Activities

     On August 27, 2001, the company issued $500 of three-year floating rate notes. The notes, which reset quarterly at three-month LIBOR plus .22 percent, have an initial rate of 3.7325%. The notes are redeemable in whole or in part at any time after September 1, 2002, and prior to their maturity at 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus any accrued but unpaid interest on the date the notes are redeemed. The net proceeds of the issuance were used to repay a portion of the borrowings under the company’s commercial paper program. Also during the third quarter, the company secured two new committed lines of credit totaling $2 billion, split evenly between a 364-day and 5-year term facilities. Both facilities back the commercial paper program and replace the company’s previous lines of credit, which totaled $1.4 billion. On July 11, 2001, the company secured a $3 billion credit facility in anticipation of the acquisition of Newport News Shipbuilding Inc. The company cancelled this facility on October 30, 2001, as a result of the termination of the acquisition agreement, which is discussed further in Note D to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

     On March 7, 2001, the company’s board of directors declared an increased regular quarterly dividend of $.28 per share. The company had previously increased the quarterly dividend to $.26 per share in March 2000.

     On January 26, 2001, in connection with the acquisition of Primex Technologies, the company assumed $204 of outstanding debt, $149 of which was repaid at the time of acquisition.

     On March 7, 2000, the company’s board of directors authorized management to repurchase in the open market up to 10 million shares of the company’s issued and outstanding common stock. During the first nine months of 2001, the company repurchased approximately 288,000 shares for $20. During the first nine months of 2000, the company repurchased approximately 4.1 million shares for $208. From the date of authorization through the third quarter of 2001, the company has repurchased approximately 4.3 million shares for $228.

Additional Financial Information

Provision for Income Taxes

     During the first quarter of 2001, the company reduced its liabilities for tax contingencies. The company recognized a non-cash benefit of $28, or $.14 per diluted share, as a result of this adjustment. During the third quarter of 2000, the company recognized a benefit of $90, or $.45 per diluted share, as a result of settlement of outstanding tax issues for the years 1990 through 1993. For further discussion of this and other tax matters, as well as a discussion of the net deferred tax asset, see Note K to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters and Other Contingencies

     For a discussion of environmental matters and other contingencies, see Notes K and L to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The company’s liability, in the aggregate, with respect to these matters, is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s results of operations or financial condition. See Note M to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of claims made by and against the company regarding the development of the A-12 aircraft.

New Accounting Standards

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” on June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, to be accounted for using the purchase method. The provisions of SFAS 142 eliminate amortization of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives, and require an impairment assessment at least annually by applying a fair-value-based test. The company is required to adopt SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. The company anticipates an annual increase to net earnings of approximately $45, or $.22 per diluted share, from the elimination of goodwill amortization. Management does not expect the other provisions of the statements to have a material impact on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

     The company adopted SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS 137 and 138, on January 1, 2001. SFAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income based on the guidelines stipulated in SFAS 133. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

The indemnified party shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any Claim by any Third Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought, but a failure to give such notice or delaying such notice shall not affect the indemnified party's right to indemnification and the indemnifying party's obligation to indemnify as set forth in this Agreement, except to the extent the indemnifying party's ability to remedy, contest, defend or settle with respect to such Claim is actually prejudiced thereby. The obligations and liabilities of the parties with respect to any such Claim shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions: (a) The indemnifying party shall have the right to undertake, by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing, the defense or opposition to such Claim. (b) In the event that the indemnifying party shall elect not to undertake such defense or opposition, or, within thirty (30) days after written notice (which shall include sufficient description of background information explaining the basis for such Claim) of any such Claim from the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall fail to undertake to defend or oppose such Claim, the indemnified party (upon further written notice to the indemnifying party) shall have the right to undertake the defense, opposition, compromise or settlement, subject to clause (c) below, of such Claim, by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party (subject to the right of the indemnifying party to assume defense of or opposition to such Claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof). (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) in the event that the indemnifying party undertakes defense of or opposition to any Claim, (A) the indemnified party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense, opposition, compromise or settlement of the Claim and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and their respective counsel or other representatives shall cooperate in good faith with respect to such Claim; and (B) the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party's written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise any Claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect of such Claim; and (ii) in the event that the indemnified party undertakes defense of or opposition to any Claim, (A) the indemnifying party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense, opposition, compromise or settlement of the Claim and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and their respective counsel or other representatives shall cooperate in good faith with respect to such 22 Claim; and (B) the indemnified party shall not, without the indemnifying party's written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise any Claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect of such Claim. (d) All Claims not disputed shall be paid by the indemnifying party within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the Claim. In the event there is a Disputed Claim with respect to any Damages, the indemnifying party shall be required to pay the indemnified party the amount of such Damages for which the indemnifying party has, pursuant to a final determination, been found liable within ten (10) days after there is a final determination with respect to such Disputed Claim. A final determination of a Disputed Claim shall be (i) a judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction determining the validity of a Disputed Claim, if no appeal is pending from such judgment and if the time to appeal therefrom has elapsed; (ii) an award of any arbitration determining the validity of such disputed claim, if there is not pending any motion to set aside such award and if the time within which to move to set aside such award has elapsed; (iii) a written termination of the dispute with respect to such claim signed by the parties thereto or their attorneys; (iv) a written acknowledgment of the indemnifying party that it no longer disputes the validity of such claim; or (v) such other evidence of final determination of a disputed claim as shall be acceptable to the parties. No undertaking of defense or opposition to a Claim shall be construed as an acknowledgment by such party that it is liable to the party claiming indemnification with respect to the Claim at issue or other similar Claims. (e) Any amounts payable under this Article VII by the indemnifying party to or on behalf of the indemnified party in respect of any Damages shall be reduced to the extent that the indemnified party receives any insurance proceeds with respect to a Claim. If the amount of any Claim, at any time subsequent to the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any Third Party, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, will promptly be repaid by the indemnified party to the indemnifying party with respect to such Claim. 7.6 Ancillary Agreements.

The provisions of this Section 8.3(a) shall not be applicable in the case of any Proceeding by one party to this Agreement against the other.

If Buyer elects to dispose of any of such records within six (6) years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall first give Seller sixty (60) days' written notice, during which period Seller shall have the right to take such records without payment of consideration. All rights of access to information and documents granted under this Section 8.3 are subject to restrictions on access to classified facilities and information imposed by Governmental Authorities.

It is understood and agreed by Buyer and Seller that (y) Buyer's cooperation hereunder is predicated on Seller's performance under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements of its obligations to Buyer in respect of the Excluded Liabilities and nothing contained in this Section 8.3(c) shall be construed to limit Buyer's rights in the event of Seller's non-performance and (z) Buyer's cooperation under this Section 8.3(c) is not intended to require it to engage in activities where Buyer, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, would be required to engage outside counsel or other professionals.

To the extent the United States Government asserts any rights or claims it may have under the Advance Agreements by issuance of a contracting officer's final decision under a contract novated or to be novated pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer agrees to enter into a sponsorship agreement or other similar arrangement under which Seller will have the right to appeal in the name of Buyer the final decision to a final resolution.

Such Government information requests may include, without limitation: (i) a list of all affected contracts between Seller and the Government in accordance with FAR 42.1204(e)(2); (ii) evidence of the Buyer's capability to perform; (iii) balance sheets of the Buyer as of the dates immediately before and after the transfer of assets, audited by independent accountants; (iv) evidence that any security clearance requirements have been met; (v) the consent of sureties, if any, of all contracts listed under subparagraph (i) above; and (vi) information, if any, identifying and evaluating any potentially significant Organizational Conflicts of Interest as contemplated under FAR 42.1204(d). 8.5 Assignment of Contracts. (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or otherwise sell, convey or transfer any Contract, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, or to enter into any other agreement or arrangement with respect thereto, if an attempted assignment, sale, conveyance or transfer thereof, or entering into any such agreement or arrangement, without the consent of a Third Party, would constitute a breach thereof, or other contravention thereunder, be ineffective with respect to any party thereto or in any way adversely affect the rights of Seller or Buyer thereunder; provided, however, that at such time, if any such Contract may be so assigned, sold, conveyed or transferred without having any of the foregoing consequences, such Contract shall be so assigned, sold, conveyed and transferred. With respect to any such Contract as to which the consent of a Third Party is necessary, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, promptly after the date hereof, Seller and Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts, which shall not require the expenditure of any money by Seller or Buyer, to obtain the written consent of other parties to any such Contract for the sale, transfer or assignment thereof to Buyer, or written confirmation from such parties reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Seller and Buyer confirming that such consent is not required. (b) Until such consent is obtained with respect to any such Contract, Seller and Buyer will cooperate to establish an arrangement (including through a subcontracting, subleasing, sublicensing or similar arrangement to the extent not prohibited under such Contract) effective as of the Closing Date reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller under which Buyer would obtain, to the maximum extent possible, the claims, rights and benefits of Seller under such Contract, with reasonable costs and expenses of Seller and its Affiliates related thereto to be promptly reimbursed by Buyer. Seller will enforce, at the reasonable request of and for the benefit of Buyer, any and all claims, rights and benefits of Seller against any Third Party thereto arising from any such Contract (including the right to elect to terminate such Contract in accordance with the terms thereof upon the request of Buyer). To the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of any Contract not assigned pursuant to this Section 8.5, Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to perform the obligations under each such Contract for the benefit of Seller and the other party or parties thereto in accordance with the arrangement established with Seller and will indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless from any Damages relating to, resulting from or arising out of any failure by Buyer so to perform or pay. 28 (c) Seller will promptly pay to Buyer, when received, all monies received by Seller under any Contract or any claim, right or benefit arising under any such Contract not assigned pursuant to Section 8.5(a), less any actual out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Seller as a result of receiving such monies. (d) At the request of Seller, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Seller in seeking the unconditional release of Seller from any and all obligations or liabilities under or in respect of any Contract, Assumed Lease or Government Proposal constituting an Acquired Asset.

If this Agreement is terminated without consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, promptly after termination, each party shall destroy or return to the other party all such confidential information, including any copies, extracts or other reproductions in whole or in part.

If Seller receives any refund (including without limitation any refund for Taxes) relating to the business or operations of the Group for periods prior to the Closing Date and the liability to which such refund relates was included as a cost in a cost-reimbursement or fixed-price incentive (cost-redeterminable) Government Contract, then Seller shall cooperate with Buyer to determine the appropriate portion of such refund due to any Governmental Authority as if Buyer had pursued and obtained an identical refund.

(d) Nothing in this Section 8.10 will restrict or prevent Seller or any of its subsidiaries from maintaining and/or undertaking passive investments in Persons primarily engaged in the Seller Competitive Activities so long as the aggregate interest represented by such investments does not exceed (i) 5% of any class of the outstanding debt or equity securities of any such Person, in the case of a Person whose shares are listed on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System or equivalent foreign exchange or quotation system or (ii) 5% of any class of the outstanding equity or debt securities in the case of any other Person; (e) If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 8.10 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. Seller acknowledges that Buyer would not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of the violation of this Section 8.10 and that the scope, duration and area restrictions on Seller's activities provided by this Section 8.10 are fair and reasonably required for the protection of Buyer and its Affiliates. Therefore, in addition to any other remedies which Buyer may have under this Agreement or otherwise, Buyer shall be entitled to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an injunction restraining Seller from committing or continuing any violation of this Section 8.10 without the requirement of posting any bond or other indemnity. 8.11 Real Property Matters (a) From and after the date hereof, Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and to provide Buyer's employees, agents and representatives with access to the Premises for purposes of performing such inspections, tests and surveys of the Premises as Buyer reasonably determines are necessary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Prior to performing any such inspections, tests and surveys of the Premises, Buyer shall obtain Seller's consent to each such procedure. Such inspections, tests and surveys of the Leased Premises shall be conducted only after Seller obtains the consent of Seller and Seller obtains the consent of the respective landlords of the Leased Premises. (b) Seller has delivered to Buyer a current title commitment (the "Title Commitment") from a title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Buyer (the "Title Company") with respect to the Owned Premises. If the Title Commitment discloses any Lien other than a Permitted Lien (each, an "Unpermitted Lien"), Seller shall remove, or cause to be removed, all Unpermitted Liens or, in the alternative, obtain title insurance in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer insuring over all of such Unpermitted Liens. (c) Within fourteen (14) days after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller will deliver to Buyer a current survey (the "Survey") of the Owned Premises certified to Buyer and the Title Company, prepared by a licensed surveyor and conforming to the 33 current ALTA/ACSM Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for Land Title Surveys, disclosing the location of all improvements, easements, roadways, utility lines and other matters customarily shown on such surveys (including such Table A items as Buyer may reasonably request). The Survey shall affirmatively show that the Owned Premises has access to publicly dedicated streets and shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to Buyer. The costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Survey will be shared equally by Seller and Buyer. (d) On or before the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer from the landlords under the Assumed Real Property Leases for the Leased Premises designated on Schedule 8.11(d). Buyer acknowledges that certain of the Assumed Real Property Leases do not contain clauses requiring the respective landlords to provide such estoppel agreements. 8.12 Settlement of Indirect Expense Rates. Schedule 8.12 sets forth (1) the indirect expense billing rates by cost pool that have been or are being used by Seller for the novated flexibly-priced contracts of the Group for the contractor's fiscal years not yet settled with the United States Government ("Open Years"); (2) for each of such Open Years, the allocation base for novated flexibly-priced contracts to which indirect expense billing rates were or are being applied (the "Allocation Base"); and (3) for each Open Year the reserves established by the Group for final indirect expense billing rate adjustments. (a) With respect to Seller's corporate office expenses or other indirect costs of Seller allocated to the Group ("Seller's Corporate Allocation") for Open Years (through the Closing Date), Seller will be responsible for the resolution of all matters relating to the allowability or allocation of Seller's Corporate Allocation and the negotiation and settlement of final allowable expenses with the United States Government. Seller shall seek such settlements diligently and in good faith, and Seller shall not settle any such Seller's Corporate Allocation matter without the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (b) With respect to the indirect expenses of the Group and its divisions ("Group Indirect Expenses") for Open Years, Buyer will be responsible for the resolution of all matters relating to the allowability or allocation of Group Indirect Expenses and the negotiation and settlement of final allowable expenses with the United States Government. Buyer shall seek such settlements diligently and in good faith, and Buyer shall not settle any such Group Indirect Expense matter without the consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (c) Buyer and Seller recognize and agree that, as to those flexibly-priced contracts that are novated to Buyer, Buyer shall be responsible, as a result of any final adjustments to provisional billing rates for Open Years for Seller's Corporate Allocation and Group Indirect Expenses, for refunding to the United States Government (or higher tier contractor) any amounts due, or rendering an invoice to the United States Government (or higher tier contractor) for any additional billings. In the event the final rates negotiated with the United States Government are lower than the rates set forth in Schedule 8.12, Seller shall promptly reimburse Buyer for the difference, but only to the extent that such difference exceeds the reserves for regular rate negotiations established by the Group as of the Closing Date to address such differences. In the event the final rates negotiated with the United States Government are 34 higher than the rates set forth in Schedule 8.12, Buyer shall diligently pursue recovery of and promptly reimburse Seller for the difference, assuming the additional billings are within the funded value of the contract and Buyer is actually able to recover such additional costs. For purposes of this clause (c), the dollar amount of the difference between provisional and final billing rates for each Open Year will be determined, for each billing rate identified in Schedule 8.12, (1) by the application of the difference between provisional and final billing rates to the respective allocation base identified in Schedule 8.12 and (2) by the allocation of such product to individual contracts. An underrun of one rate may be used to offset an overrun of another rate within the same year. 8.13 Additional Discounts. Seller will extend an additional 8% discount on non-GSA schedule products sold to Buyer under the Joint Pursuit Teaming Agreement (U.S. Coast Guard). ARTICLE IX TERMINATION 9.1 Termination of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by the mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer; (b) by Seller or Buyer if any court of competent jurisdiction or governmental body, authority or agency having jurisdiction shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; and (c) by either party if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before December 31, 2001; provided that the terminating party is not otherwise in material default or breach of this Agreement. 9.2 Effect of Termination.

II U.S. HIRED EMPLOYEE MATTERS 2.1. U.S. Hired Employees. (a) Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer will have extended or caused its Affiliates to extend an offer of employment to each Seller U.S. Employee that is substantially comparable to the position held by such Seller U.S. Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date. All offers of employment will be conditioned on Seller U.S. Employees executing confidentiality and non-competition agreements that are substantially similar to those required by Seller. Such Seller U.S. Employees who accept Buyer's offer of employment effective as of the Closing Date shall be known as "U.S. Hired Employees". Each U.S. Hired Employee shall be listed on Schedule 2.1 which shall be completed by Seller on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if any U.S. Hired Employee who is on short-term disability status as of the Closing Date goes onto long-term disability status within one year of the Closing Date, then such individuals shall cease to be treated as U.S. Hired Employees as of the commencement date of their long-term disability status and Seller shall retain full responsibility and liability for any such persons as of such commencement date. If any persons who are not Seller U.S. Employees by reason of being on inactive or long-term disability status as described in Section 1.12 return to active work status within one year of the Closing Date, Buyer shall extend offers of employment to such persons and such persons shall be treated as U.S. Hired Employees effective as of their date of hire for all purposes under this Agreement, including, without limitation, pension and retiree medical asset and liability transfers. Seller shall retain full responsibility and liability for any such persons on inactive or long-term disability status unless and until they are hired by Buyer in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. (b) On the Closing Date, Buyer will hire each Seller U.S. Employee listed on Schedule 2.1. In connection therewith, Seller (i) shall not interfere with Buyer's solicitation of such employees of the Group, (ii) shall not cause or permit the hiring (or engagement as an independent contractor or leased employee) of any Seller U.S. Employee by or on behalf of any other division, unit or Affiliate of Seller during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (except as permitted in writing by Buyer), nor cause or permit the Group to hire (or engage as independent contractor or leased employee) any employee of Seller, or of any Affiliate of Seller, who is employed or engaged by any division, unit or Affiliate of Seller other than the Group, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (except as permitted in writing by Buyer), and (iii) shall provide such assistance as Buyer may reasonably request in connection with such solicitation, provided that Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such assistance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a period of one year following the Closing Date, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates will employ (or engage as an independent contractor) any Seller U.S. Employee who refuses the offer of employment extended by Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 2.1, or any individual whose employment with the Group terminated between the dates of this Agreement and the Closing Date. 2.2. Compensation and Benefits. Buyer will compensate each U.S. Hired Employee (while employed by Buyer) for the period beginning as of the Closing Date and ending as of December 31, 2002 as follows: (a) at a base wage or base salary rate which shall not be less than that provided by Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable immediately prior to the Closing Date (subject to and including increases in base wage and salary rates resulting from Seller's scheduled October 2001 merit review targeting an average 4.5% average increase therein, and any other routine pay increases), (b) with cash incentive and other cash-based variable pay programs which shall be substantially comparable in the aggregate to those available to that employee from Seller or its Affiliates (and identified on Schedule 2.2(b)), as applicable immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (c) with employee benefit programs that are substantially comparable in the aggregate on an economic basis (such benefits need not be identical to those Seller U.S. Plans in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date) to the benefits provided under the Seller U.S. Plans in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, except that such covenant shall not apply to: (i) any equity-based compensation plan or program; provided, that Buyer will apply to the Group an equity-based compensation program substantially comparable to the equity-based compensation program offered at other business units of Buyer; or (ii) the Motorola Elected Officers Supplementary Retirement Plan. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, to the extent that benefit programs covering U.S. Hired Employees are being administered by Seller on or after the Closing Date in accordance with Sections 2.2(c) and 2.9, such programs will be amended to reflect in whole any applicable changes in the Seller U.S. Plans as provided to similarly situated Seller employees or retirees (including without limitation changes in vendors, services, providers, co-payments, deductibles, lifetime maximums, types of coverage, etc.). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller increases its retiree medical cost caps for 2002, Seller agrees to administer Buyer's retiree medical plan using cost caps referred to in Section 5.2(q) herein, provided that Buyer's plan is identical to Seller's plan in all other respects and that Buyer reimburses Seller for increased costs due to such administration. To the extent that Buyer is administering the Buyer U.S. Plans during 2002, Buyer may reduce benefit levels provided in Section 2.2(c) above to the extent that Seller reduces benefit levels of similar programs for similarly situated employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, to the extent accrued through the Closing Date, Buyer shall be solely responsible for any incentive compensation payments to Hired Employees with respect to services rendered during the entire 2001 plan year, including those payments they would have received under Seller's scheduled incentive compensation programs with respect to the portion of the 2001 plan year prior to Closing, had they continued to be employed by Seller throughout that year. 2.3. Severance. Without limiting anything in Section 2.2 herein and consistent therewith, through the period ending on December 31, 2002, if any U.S. Hired Employee is terminated by Buyer (other than for Cause) Buyer will provide such employee with a severance benefit under a Buyer U.S. Plan that is substantially comparable to the benefit provided under the Motorola, Inc. Involuntary Severance Plan then in effect but not to exceed the benefit levels in effect as of the Closing Date, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3, provided that Buyer may require a release of claims for any and all benefits provided under this Section 2.3. 2.4. Vacation. (a) Until the Closing Date, the vacation policy of Seller shall continue to apply to all U.S. Hired Employees. Thereafter Buyer shall assume and fulfill, in a timely manner, all Seller's obligations and liabilities related to the U.S. Hired Employees under Seller's vacation policy, including allowing U.S. Hired Employees to use and be paid for their accrued but unused vacation time from their prior employment with the Seller, as recognized and available under Seller's vacation policy, even after the Closing Date, provided that, after said Date, any new entitlement to vacation time will be accrued and used only in accordance with Buyer's own vacation policy. (b) Until the Closing Date, the "Attendance Bonus Plan" of Seller shall continue to apply to all U.S. Hired Employees. Thereafter Buyer shall assume and fulfill, in a timely manner, all Seller's obligations and liabilities related to the U.S. Hired Employees under Seller's Attendance Bonus Plan, including allowing U.S. Hired Employees to be paid their accrued but unpaid attendance bonus under Seller's Attendance Bonus Plan, even after the Closing Date, subject to any customary withholding for federal, state and local taxes, provided that, after said Closing Date, any new entitlement to an attendance bonus or its equivalent will be accrued and payable only in accordance with Buyer's own attendance bonus plan or comparable program. 2.5. Responsibility for Employees. (a) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, for U.S. Hired Employees, Buyer shall assume and thereafter pay, perform and discharge any and all employment, compensation and employee benefit liabilities, responsibilities and obligations of Seller and any of its Affiliates including, without limitation, any and all claims of employment discrimination under any local, state, or federal law or ordinance, including, without limitation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990; Section 510 of ERISA and the Arizona Civil Rights Act, which liabilities, responsibilities and obligations are incurred as the result of incidents occurring after the Closing. In the event that Seller or an Affiliate of Seller or any Employee Benefit Plan maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates directly or indirectly incurs any costs, liabilities, obligations or legal expenses related to any such incidents occurring after the Closing, Buyer shall reimburse and indemnify Seller and its Affiliates for any and all such costs, liabilities, obligations and expenses immediately upon the demand of Seller. (b) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Seller shall remain liable and shall pay, perform and discharge any and all employment, compensation and employee benefit liabilities, responsibilities and obligations of Seller and any of its Affiliates including, without limitation, any and all claims of employment discrimination under any local, state, or federal law or ordinance, including, without limitation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990; Section 510 of ERISA and the Arizona Civil Rights Act, which liabilities, responsibilities and obligations are incurred as the result of incidents occurring prior to the Closing, regardless of whether claims are made or reported prior to the Closing. In the event that Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer or any Employee Benefit Plan maintained by Buyer or any of its Affiliates directly or indirectly incurs any costs, liabilities, obligations or legal expenses related to any such incidents occurring prior to the Closing, Seller shall reimburse and indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates for any and all such costs, liabilities, obligations and expenses immediately upon the demand of Buyer. 2.6. Service Credit. Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide each U.S. Hired Employee with full credit under the Buyer U.S. Plans, for pre-Closing (i) service with Seller and its Affiliates and Controlled Group Members, and (ii) service other than with Seller and its Affiliates and Controlled Group members, to the same extent as such employee was entitled, before the Closing Date, to credit for such service under any similar Seller U.S. Plan, provided that such credit does not result in any duplication of benefits. 2.7. 401(k) Plan. (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, the U.S. Hired Employees shall cease to participate in the Motorola, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Seller 401(k) Plan"), and shall be eligible to commence participation in a defined contribution retirement plan permitting deferrals under Section 401(k) of the Code that is sponsored by the Buyer (the "Buyer 401(k) Plan") as soon as administratively practicable following the Closing Date. Any minimum age or service requirements contained in the Buyer 401(k) Plan with respect to eligibility to participate generally or eligibility to share in any employer contributions thereunder shall be waived for U.S. Hired Employees who immediately prior to the Closing Date were eligible to participate or share in employer contributions, respectively, under the Seller 401(k) Plan. If for any period after the Closing Date the plan administrator of the Buyer 401(k) Plan relies upon compensation reduction elections and investment directions made by U.S. Hired Employees under the Seller 401(k) Plan prior to the Closing Date, Buyer agrees to defend and indemnify Seller for all liabilities, damages, costs or expenses incurred by Seller as a result of claims arising from such reliance. (b) All matching contributions with respect to the U.S. Hired Employees' contributions to the Seller 401(k) Plan shall be contributed to the Seller 401(k) plan in accordance with the Seller's usual practices. Further, the Seller shall cause all U.S. Hired Employees to be fully vested in 100% of their account balances (including any amounts contributed under Section 2.7(d) below). (c) Seller will permit each U.S. Hired Employee to elect a distribution of his or her account balance in the Seller 401(k) Plan, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(II) and 401(k)(10)(A)(ii) of the Code, until the end of the second calendar year after the year in which the Closing Date occurs (or such longer period of time as permitted under the Code). Buyer will cause the Buyer 401(k) Plan to accept a direct rollover of, or an eligible rollover distribution of, all or a portion of the taxable portion of a distribution of a U.S. Hired Employee's account balance from the Seller 401(k) Plan, including any outstanding loans and related promissory notes. Seller shall cause the Seller 401(k) Plan to permit repayment by payroll withholding for 2001, and by coupon repayment thereafter, of any outstanding loan from an account balance in the Seller 401(k) Plan from which a U.S. Hired Employee does not take a distribution that includes that outstanding loan. The Parties shall cooperate to effect the purpose of this previous sentence. (d) If, following the end of the 2001 Plan Year, Seller determines that a "Profit Sharing Contribution" (as defined in the Seller 401(k) Plan) is payable to the Seller 401(k) Plan pursuant to the terms of the Seller 401(k) Plan, then subject to all legal or other applicable limits, Seller shall make such Profit Sharing Contribution to the Seller 401(k) Plan in accordance with the terms of the Seller 401(k) Plan, and the pro rata share of such contribution attributable to the U.S. Hired Employees determined under Section 10.4(e) of the Seller 401(k) Plan shall be allocated to the accounts of such U.S. Hired Employees. 2.8. Seller Pension Plan and Buyer Pension Plan. The Parties shall enter into the "Pension Transfer Agreement" which shall be executed by the Parties and attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 2.8 thereto upon execution of this Agreement. 2.9. Health and Welfare Plans. (a) In accordance with, and toward the satisfaction of, the requirements of Section 2.2(c) herein, the U.S. Hired Employees shall continue to participate, without interruption, in those Seller U.S. Plans set forth in Schedule 2.9 (the "Transitional Welfare Plans") through December 31, 2001 (such schedule to be provided by Buyer within 15 days of execution of this Agreement). Thereafter, Buyer shall establish Employee Benefit Plans to provide benefits required under Section 2.2(c) of this Agreement and the following provisions of this Section 2.9. At the request of Buyer, and to the extent that Buyer establishes plans identical to the Transitional Welfare Plans, Seller agrees to administer such plans through the period ending December 31, 2002 (including any applicable run-out). Any new Group employee hired during the period after Closing during which the U.S. Hired Employees remain covered under the Transitional Welfare Plans shall be allowed to participate in the Transitional Welfare Plans in accordance with the respective terms. However, if Buyer elects to administer its own benefit plans and programs on or after January 1, 2002 to satisfy the requirements of Section 2.2(c) hereof, then the U.S. Hired Employees and any new Group employees shall participate instead in such Buyer plans and programs on and after that date. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for its costs incurred fulfilling its obligations described in this Section 2.9(a) in accordance with the reimbursement methods described in the Transition Services Agreement. (b) With respect to medical, dental and other health and welfare benefit plans maintained by Buyer covering U.S. Hired Employees as required under Section 2.2.(c), Buyer shall waive any waiting period, pre-existing condition, evidence of insurability, continuing-course-of-treatment, and actively-at-work requirements to the same extent that such period, conditions and/or requirements were not applicable to or had been satisfied by such U.S. Hired Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date under applicable Seller U.S. Plans. 2.10. Retiree Medical Coverage. The Parties shall enter into the "401(h) Transfer Agreement" which shall be executed by the Parties and attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 2.10 thereto upon execution of this Agreement. 2.11. Nonqualified Plans. Buyer will assume Seller's obligations, duties and liabilities to all U.S. Hired Employees with respect to their participation in the Motorola Supplemental Pension Plan ("MSPP") as of the Closing Date. Seller will transfer from its rabbi trust related to the MSPP to Buyer's applicable rabbi trust cash in an amount which bears the same proportion to the fair market value of all of the assets of Seller's rabbi trust as of the Closing Date, as the CAS actuarial accrued liability for U.S. Hired Employees participating in the Motorola Supplemental Pension Plan determined as of the Closing Date (based on assumptions used by Seller for CAS cost purposes for the year ended December 31, 2001) bears to the total such liability for all participants in the MSPP, plus interest on such amount from the Closing Date through the date of transfer, at an annual rate equal to the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond rate as of the Closing Date. 2.12. Workers' Compensation. Responsibility for workers' compensation claims in respect of the Group arising out of conditions having a date of injury (or, in the case of a claim relating to occupational illness or disease, the last significant exposure) prior to the Closing Date shall remain with Seller. Buyer shall have responsibility for workers' compensation claims in respect of the Group arising out of conditions having a date of injury (or, in the case of a claim relating to occupational illness or disease, the last significant exposure) on or after the Closing Date. 2.13. WARN Act Compliance. Buyer shall retain full responsibility for any violation of the Worker's Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended, arising from Buyer's failure to comply with Section 2.1 or its operation of the Group after the Closing, and shall indemnify Seller for any liability, expense and cost related thereto, including reasonable attorneys' fees related thereto. Seller will provide Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date with a written list of all employees of the Group whose employment has been terminated or whose work hours have been reduced within 90 calendar days preceding the Closing Date. Such list will indicate the total number of employees affected, the employee's site of employment, and date of employment loss. 2.14. Payroll Matters. The Seller and Buyer agree that they will cooperate in the transition of payroll tax withholding and reporting and will seek to accomplish such transition in a manner that will minimize the tax effects on the U.S. Transferred Employees, to the extent administratively practicable. III NON-U.S. TRANSFERRED EMPLOYEE MATTERS 3.1. Non-U.S. Transferred Employees. Wherever legally permissible, on the Closing Date, the Non-U.S. Transferred Employees shall become employees of the applicable Buyer Affiliate by operation of applicable local law and/or pursuant to the terms of any necessary transfer agreement relating to that jurisdiction. Where such transfer is not possible in the manner described in the previous sentence, the applicable Buyer Affiliate shall offer Non-U.S. Transferred Employees employment in accordance with the procedures required by applicable local law to effectuate their employment with the appropriate Buyer Affiliate commencing on the Closing Date. Seller shall not interfere with Buyer's solicitation of such employees of the Group, and Seller shall provide such assistance as Buyer may reasonably request in connection with such solicitation, provided that Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such assistance. To the extent any notification or consultation requirements are imposed by applicable law with regard to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and as regards Non-U.S. Transferred Employees, Buyer or applicable Buyer Affiliates agree to cooperate fully with Seller or its Affiliates to ensure that such notification or consultation requirements are carried out. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to any requirements of applicable local law, for a period of one year following the Closing Date, neither Buyer nor its Affiliates will employ (or engage as an independent contractor) any Non-U.S. Transferred Employee who refuses the offer of employment extended by Buyer or its Affiliate pursuant to this Section 3.1, or any individual whose employment with the Group terminated between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date. 3.2. Compensation. (a) Schedule 3.2 sets forth certain terms and conditions of employment and material employee benefit plans for the Non-U.S. Transferred Employees in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. (b) In jurisdictions where applicable law would require any of Buyer's Affiliates to offer continued employment as of the Closing Date to Non-U.S. Transferred Employees on specific terms and conditions that are determined by comparison to the terms and conditions provided by the applicable Seller Affiliate to such Non-U.S. Transferred Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date in order to avoid liability for severance or other termination compensation or damages, and under applicable law such Non-U.S. Transferred Employee is or becomes entitled to severance, other termination compensation or benefits on or after the Closing Date for which Seller is held liable or Seller or its Affiliates is or are subject to damages as a result of the failure of the terms of such offer of employment to comply with applicable law, the applicable Buyer Affiliate will be responsible for, and will indemnify Seller and its Affiliates from and against any and all claims for severance compensation, benefits, damages or compensation for unfair or wrongful dismissal, together with all costs and expenses arising from such claims by such Non-U.S. Transferred Employees. (c) In those jurisdictions where Seller's Affiliates have historically followed a practice of paying non-incentive salary bonuses to their employees or such bonuses are required by applicable law, Seller shall cause its applicable Affiliates to pay to each of their respective Non-U.S. Transferred Employees the pro rata portion of all such bonuses (if any) to which such Non-U.S. Transferred Employee is entitled, for the period beginning on the first day of the applicable accrual period and ending on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, which payment shall be made within a reasonable period of time following payment of such amounts to employees of the applicable Seller Affiliate.
