INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Administrative Committee of the
  Newport News Shipbuilding Savings (401(k)) Plan
  for Union Eligible Employees:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of the Newport News Shipbuilding Savings (401(k)) Plan for Union Eligible
Employees (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2001, and the related statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
2001, and the changes in its net assets available for plan benefits for the year
ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held
at end of year) as of December 31, 2001 is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Such supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2001 financial statements and, in
our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NEWPORT NEWS SHIPBUILDING
SAVINGS (401(k)) PLAN FOR UNION ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

      The following description of the Newport News Shipbuilding Savings
      (401(k)) Plan for Union Eligible Employees (the "Plan") provides only
      general information. Participants should refer to the plan document for a
      more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

      General - The Plan was adopted on July 1, 1992 by Newport News
      Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company ("NNSDDC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
      Newport News Shipbuilding Inc. (the "Company" or "NNS"), and amended and
      restated as of July 26, 1999. As of November 7, 2001, the Company
      completed a merger agreement with Northrop Grumman Corporation ("Northrop
      Grumman") whereby the Company was subsequently merged with and into
      Northrop Grumman. The Plan is intended to constitute a defined
      contribution 401(k) plan that provides for tax-deferred savings for
      participants. NNSDDC and First Union National Bank (the "Trustee") have
      executed the Newport News Shipbuilding Savings (401(k)) Plan Trust
      Agreement, which provides for the investment and reinvestment of the
      assets of the Plan. Through February 12, 2002, the Plan was administered
      by NNSDDC, with the assistance of NNSDDC's Benefits Committee (the
      "Committee"). The members of the Committee are appointed by the Company.
      The Plan is subject to the applicable provisions of the Employee
      Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").

      Eligibility and Contributions - All union eligible employees with at least
      90 days of continuous service are eligible to participate in the Plan.
      Participants may elect to voluntarily contribute a percentage of their
      annual before-tax compensation, not to exceed Internal Revenue Code
      ("IRC") imposed limitations, through equal pay period deductions.
      Contributions can range from 1 to 15 percent of annual compensation.

      Participant Accounts - Each participant's account is credited with the
      participant's contribution and an allocation of the Plan's earnings or
      losses. Allocations are based on the participant's account balance, as
      defined in the plan document. Participants are immediately vested in their
      accounts.

      Payment of Benefits - Upon termination of employment, including layoff,
      distributions to participants are generally made via single lump-sum
      payments. Participants whose account balances exceed $3,500 have the right
      to defer the distribution of their account balances until they reach the
      age of 62.

      Investment Options - Upon enrollment in the Plan, participants may direct
      their contributions in one percent increments in any of the investment
      options that are selected by NNSDDC, based on recommendations provided by
      the Committee. Participants may change their investment options on a daily
      basis.

                                      - 5 -


      Loans to Participants - A participant may borrow up to 50 percent of his
      or her account balance, not to exceed $50,000, with a minimum loan amount
      of $500. Loans are repayable through payroll deductions for a period no
      longer than 4 1/2 years. Interest on loans to participants is charged at a
      rate of prime (rate of interest charged by commercial banks on loans to
      preferred customers) plus 1 percent. The interest rates at December 31,
      2001 and 2000 were 5.8 percent and 10.5 percent, respectively.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Basis of Accounting - The accompanying financial statements are prepared
      in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
      States of America.

      Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
      with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
      America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
      the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes
      therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual
      results could differ from those estimates.

      Risks and Uncertainties - The Plan utilizes various investment
      instruments. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various
      risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to
      the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is
      reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities
      will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect
      the amounts reported in the financial statements.

      Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - All investments are recorded
      at fair market value based on quoted market prices. Purchase and sale
      transactions are recorded on a settlement date basis. Interest income is
      recorded on the accrual basis.

      Payment of Benefits - Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

3.    INVESTMENTS

      The fair market value of individual investments that represent five
      percent or more of the Plan's net assets are as follows as of December 31:

                                                           2001          2000

         First Union Enhanced Stock Market Fund       $ 9,182,015   $11,244,875
         Evergreen U. S. Treasury Money Market Fund     7,451,852     5,354,730
         Evergreen Omega Fund                           2,358,930     2,928,724
         Newport News Shipbuilding Inc. Common Stock    2,515,342     2,224,108
         Fidelity U. S. Bond Index Fund                 3,040,012     1,709,464
         Participant loans                              1,806,114     1,579,289


      During 2001, the Plan's investments (including gains and losses on
      investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated
      (depreciated) in value as follows:

         Mutual funds                                               $(1,579,172)
         Common stock                                                   888,788
                                                                    -----------
         Net depreciation                                           $  (690,384)
                                                                    ===========

                                      - 6 -

4.    TAX STATUS

      The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has determined and informed the
      Company by a letter, dated May 16, 2001, that the Plan and related trust
      were designed in accordance with the applicable regulations of the IRC.
      The Plan has been amended since receiving the IRS' Determination Letter;
      however, the Company and the plan administrator believe that the Plan is
      currently designed and operated in compliance with the applicable
      requirements of the IRC and the Plan and related trust continue to be tax
      exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the
      Plan's financial statements.

5.    PLAN TERMINATION

      NNSDDC does not plan to terminate the Plan; however, it has the right to
      do so at any time, subject to a basic labor agreement, by action of the
      Board.

6.    ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

      The Trustee's fees, the expenses of administration of the trust and the
      expenses incidental to the operation and management of the Plan are paid
      by NNSDDC. Investment management and similar fees directly related to the
      return to participants on amounts invested in the various investment funds
      are charged against the Plan's funds as other payments.

7.    TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

      The Plan includes the Company's and Northrop Grumman's common stock as
      investments held. Therefore, any investments in the Company's or Northrop
      Grumman's common stock represent transactions with parties-in-interest.
      Certain plan investments are shares of a mutual fund managed by the
      Trustee. Therefore, these transactions qualify as transactions with
      parties-in-interest.

8.    CONVERSION OF COMPANY COMMON STOCK

      As a result of the merger of the Company with and into Northrop Grumman,
      the Plan converted investments in NNS common stock to Northrop Grumman
      common stock. Participants were given the opportunity to exchange all
      their NNS shares for either $67.50 per share in cash or 0.7193 shares of
      Northrop Grumman common stock, subject to adjustment. This conversion
      occurred through a tender offer expiring on November 29, 2001 and a
      subsequent surrendering of NNS shares by participants in exchange for
      $67.50 per share in cash or 0.7193 shares of Northrop Grumman common
      stock. During early 2002 through a final conversion, all shares that had
      not been tendered resulted in the participants receiving $51.14 in cash
      and 0.1743 shares of Northrop Grumman common stock for each share of NNS
      common stock.

9.    ELIMINATION OF INVESTMENT OPTIONS

      During the year ended December 31, 2001 the Plan notified participants
      that it would eliminate the investment options related to former
