NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2001.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Restructuring

The Company has recorded severance costs and plant closings accruals related to restructuring actions, including costs associated with the integration of LucasVarity, of $70 million as of December 31, 2000. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded additional before tax charges of $60 million, primarily for headcount reductions, of which $23 million was recorded in the second quarter. Charges of $31 million were recorded in administrative and selling expenses and $29 million in cost of sales. The Company used $23 million and $63 million in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively, for severance payments and plant closings. The balance at June 30, 2001 of $67 million is expected to be used by the third quarter of 2002.

Financial Instruments

The Company manufactures and sells its products in countries throughout the world. As a result, it is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company enters into forward contracts and, to a lesser extent, purchased currency options to hedge portions of its foreign currency denominated forecasted revenues, purchases, and the subsequent cash flows. The critical terms of the hedges are the same as the underlying forecasted transactions and the hedges are considered to be perfectly effective to offset the changes in fair value of cash flows from the hedged transactions. These cash flow instruments mature at various dates through April 2007.

The Company enters into interest rate swaps to manage the risks and costs associated with its financing activities. At June 30, 2001, the Company had $100 million notional principal amount of interest rate swaps outstanding that converted a portion of its variable rate debt to a fixed rate for the next four years. These interest rate swaps have a fair market value loss of $7 million.

On occasion, the Company hedges equity investments in publicly traded companies. These instruments protect the forecasted cash flows resulting from the sale of shares in the Company’s investments in RFMD and Celera. These hedges were redesignated to cash flow hedges during the second quarter 2001. Prior to their redesignation, the ineffective portion, recorded in Other (income)expense-net, was a $5 million gain and $10 million gain for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. The fair market value of these hedges as of June 30, 2001 is a $110 million gain.

Gains/losses on these cash flow instruments are generally recorded in other comprehensive income(loss) until the underlying transaction is recognized in net earnings. The earnings impact is reported in either Sales, Cost of sales, or Other (income)expense-net, to match the underlying transaction.

In addition, the Company enters into certain forward currency exchange contracts that are not treated as hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 to hedge recognized foreign currency transactions. Gains and losses on these contracts are recorded in earnings and are substantially offset by the earnings effect of the revaluation of the underlying foreign currency denominated transaction.

Debt and Credit Agreements

The Company amended and restated its revolving credit agreement that expired on January 23, 2001. The amended and restated agreement, in an aggregate amount of $1.8 billion with 26 banks, has a new expiration date of January 22, 2002 with an option to extend the maturity of outstanding borrowings at that time to January 22, 2003. The interest rate under the agreement is either the prime rate or a rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), at the option of the Company. The Company also canceled a revolving credit agreement for use by its Brazilian operations.

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company issued $500 million of 7.625% Notes due March 2006, utilizing its universal shelf registration statement. The proceeds were used to reduce short-term borrowings. At June 30, 2001, $1.2 billion remained available under TRW’s universal shelf registration statement.

During the second quarter of 2001, the Company refinanced $100 million of commercial paper borrowings by entering into a debt agreement due April 2003. The interest rate under the agreement is a floating rate based on three-month LIBOR.

At June 30, 2001, $400 million of short-term obligations were reclassified to long-term obligations, as the Company intends to refinance the obligations on a long-term basis and has the ability to do so under its revolving credit agreements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”. Statement 141 requires companies to account for acquisitions entered into after June 30, 2001 using the purchase method and establishes criteria to be used in determining whether acquired intangible assets are to be recorded separately from goodwill. This criterion is to be applied to business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Statement 142 sets forth the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets after the completion of a business acquisition. Goodwill will no longer be amortized, rather, tested for impairment by comparing the asset’s fair value to its carrying value. Statement 142 is effective January 1, 2002.

Management is in the process of analyzing and assessing the impact of the adoption of these statements. The amount of a cumulative adjustment for an accounting change, and the effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position during 2002 will depend on the valuations made at the reporting unit level, which are not determinable at this time.

Contingencies

During 1996, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) advised the Company that it had been named as a defendant in lawsuits brought by a former employee of the Company originally filed under seal in 1994 and 1995 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California under the qui tam provisions of the civil False Claims Act. The DOJ subsequently advised that it would intervene in the litigation. In a consolidated complaint filed jointly by the former employee and the DOJ, it is alleged that the Company misclassified various costs and improperly charged those costs to certain of its federal contracts, that the United States has incurred substantial damages, and that the Company is liable for treble damages, penalties, post-judgment interest, costs (including attorneys’ fees) and “all other proper relief.” All substantive allegations against the Company have been denied in the Company’s answer to the consolidated complaint. The Company cannot presently predict the outcome of this lawsuit, although management believes its ultimate resolution will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

On March 31, 2000, VSSI was served with a putative class action lawsuit filed on behalf of everyone living within a five-mile radius of the Company’s air bag manufacturing plant in Mesa, Arizona. The lawsuit alleges that emissions from the plant have caused health problems for residents living near the plant, that the Company concealed information about the potential health risks of its emissions and that animals and plant life have been injured or destroyed through exposure to toxic emissions. Plaintiffs are asking the court to require the Company to institute medical monitoring for the claimants, to conduct various studies regarding, among other things, the risks of sodium azide, to cease operations that release toxic substances into the air and to create a supervised fund to pay for medical screening and monitoring. Plaintiffs also are seeking attorneys’ fees and punitive damages. The Company believes there is no valid scientific basis for these claims and is defending itself vigorously. The case has been removed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, where the Company is vigorously opposing class certification. The Company is not able to predict the outcome of this lawsuit at this time.

In October 2000, Kelsey-Hayes Company (formerly known as Fruehauf Corporation) was served with a grand jury subpoena relating to a criminal investigation being conducted by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois. The U.S. Attorney has informed the Company that the investigation relates to possible wrongdoing by Kelsey-Hayes Company and others involving certain loans made by Kelsey-Hayes Company’s then parent corporation to Fruehauf Trailer Corporation, the handling of the trailing liabilities of Fruehauf Corporation and actions in connection with the 1996 bankruptcy of Fruehauf Trailer Corporation. Kelsey-Hayes Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRW upon TRW’s acquisition of LucasVarity in 1999. The Company is cooperating with the investigation and is unable to predict the outcome of the investigation at this time.

Independent Accountants’ Review Report

Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors
TRW Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited balance sheet of TRW Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2001, and the related unaudited statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, included in the Form 10-Q of TRW Inc. for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the balance sheet of TRW Inc. as of December 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations, cash flows, and changes in shareholders’ investment for the year then ended not presented herein, and in our report dated January 22, 2001, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. Those financial statements and our report on them are included in the Form 10-K of TRW Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2000. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, included in the Form 10-Q of TRW Inc. for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2001, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Profit before taxes 156 486 (330 ) (68 %) 365 971 (606 ) (62 %)

Effective tax rate 91.5 % 36.7 % 45.9 % 37.7 %

The second quarter 2001 sales decreased 5 percent compared with second quarter 2000 sales. The decrease is the result of the effects of foreign currency exchange of approximately $100 million; lower volumes, primarily in North America of approximately $70 million; price reductions of approximately $45 million; and divestitures of approximately $40 million, primarily in the automotive segments, somewhat offset by increased sales of approximately $60 million due to higher volume on several core satellite programs.

Net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter 2001 were $3 million, or $0.02 per share, compared with $200 million, or $1.59 per share, in 2000.

For the second quarter 2001, unusual items resulted in a net loss of $79 million, or $.63 per share. The unusual items for the second quarter 2001 included after tax charges of $58 million for an asset impairment related to Endwave and other charges, primarily automotive restructuring of approximately $21 million.

For the second quarter 2000, unusual items resulted in a net gain of $33 million, or $0.26 per share. The unusual items for the second quarter 2000 included after tax gains of $28 million, primarily from the sale of RFMD common stock; approximately $22 million relating to the merger of TRW Milliwave Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, with Endgate Corporation to form Endwave; and $15 million for the exchange of TRW’s interest in Paracel Inc. for shares in Celera. These gains were partially offset by approximately $9 million after tax of automotive restructuring charges and $23 million after tax of unrealized losses on foreign currency hedges.

Gross profit of $636 million in the second quarter of 2001 decreased 18 percent from $780 million in 2000 primarily due to lower pricing, decreased volume, unfavorable product mix and a seatbelt recall of approximately $120 million, the effects of foreign currency exchange of approximately $25 million, divestitures of approximately $15 million, offset by net cost reductions of approximately $30 million. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 14.9 percent for the second quarter 2001, compared to 17.4 percent in the second quarter 2000.

Administrative and selling expenses of $270 million in the second quarter 2001 decreased $5 million compared with the second quarter of 2000. Administrative and selling expenses included unusual items of $15 million and $5 million in the second quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively, related to restructuring charges, which was more than offset by cost reductions of approximately $10 million and divestitures of approximately $10 million in 2001.

Interest expense of $122 million in the second quarter 2001 decreased $4 million compared with the second quarter of 2000, primarily due to lower average debt outstanding and lower short-term interest rates in the United States, offset by higher interest rates on fixed rate debt issuances.

Amortization of goodwill and intangible assets was $32 million in the second quarter of 2001 and $36 million in 2000. The decrease of $4 million primarily resulted from goodwill amortization from Endwave which was consolidated in 2000.

In the second quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a $12 million charge for the fair value of in-process research and development in connection with the merger of TRW Milliwave Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, with Endgate Corporation to form Endwave.

Other (income)expense-net was expense of $62 million in the second quarter 2001 compared to income of $97 million in 2000. Included in 2001 is an asset impairment charge related to Endwave of $70 million. Included in 2000 were the following items: other income on Endwave merger of $55 million, gains on sales of shares of RFMD common stock of $43 million, gain on exchange of Paracel stock of $23 million and a loss of $33 million related to foreign currency exchange.

The effective income tax rate was 91.5 percent in the second quarter of 2001 compared with 36.7 percent in the second quarter of 2000. Excluding unusual items, the effective income tax rate would have been 36.1 percent in the second quarter of 2001 and 35.7 percent in the second quarter of 2000.

Sales for the first half of 2001 decreased $598 million, or 7 percent compared with 2000 sales. The decrease in sales is due to lower sales volumes, primarily in North America, of approximately $230 million, foreign currency exchange of approximately $210 million, divestitures of approximately $110 million, and lower pricing of approximately $85 million, primarily in the automotive segments, somewhat offset by sales increases of approximately $35 million due to higher volume on several core satellite programs.

Net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the first half of 2001 were $58 million, or $0.47 per share, compared with $409 million, or $3.27 per share, in 2000.

For the first half of 2001, unusual items resulted in a net loss of $75 million, or $0.60 per share. The unusual items for the first half of 2001 included a charge of $58 million after tax for an asset impairment related to Endwave and other charges, primarily automotive restructuring, of approximately $48 million after tax. These charges were partially offset by after tax gains from asset sales of approximately $31 million.

For the first half of 2000, unusual items resulted in net gains of $90 million, or $0.72 per share. The unusual items for the first half of 2000 included gains of $154 million from asset sales, including sales of shares of RFMD common stock and of the Company’s Nelson Stud Welding and Australian Steering businesses; $22 million relating to the formation of Endwave; and $15 million on the exchange of TRW’s interest in Paracel Inc. for shares in Celera. These gains were partially offset by a $49 million charge for warranty reserves, claims, and threatened litigation; a $21 million charge for severance and plant closing costs for the automotive restructuring program and $31 million of unrealized losses on foreign currency hedges.

Gross profit of $1,237 million for the first six months of 2001 decreased $298 million, or approximately 19 percent from $1,535 million in 2000. Gross profit for the first half of 2001 decreased as compared to the prior year, primarily due to the combination of lower volume, unfavorable product mix and the effect of a seatbelt recall totaling $175 million, price reductions of approximately $85 million, the effects of foreign currency exchange of approximately $45 million and divestitures of approximately $25 million offset by lower unusual items of $30 million. Gross profit in 2001 included unusual items for automotive restructuring charges of approximately $30 million. Gross profit in 2000 included unusual items for warranty reserves, claims, and threatened litigation, of $40 million and automotive

Excluding unusual items in 2001 and 2000 related to restructuring charges of approximately $30 million and $9 million, respectively, administrative and selling expenses decreased $64 million. The decrease was primarily due to cost reductions of approximately $25 million and the effect of divestitures of approximately $30 million.

Research and development expenses of $236 million for the first half of 2001 increased $13 million from $223 million in 2000, primarily due to increased spending in Space & Electronics for initiatives focused on commercializing the Company’s defense technologies.

Interest expense of $251 million for the first half of 2001 decreased $11 million from $262 million in 2000, due to lower average debt outstanding and lower short-term interest rates in the United States offset by higher interest expense on fixed rate debt issuances.

The Company recorded a $12 million charge for the first half of 2000 for the fair value of in-process research and development for the valuation of Endwave Corporation.

Other (income)expense-net was expense of $43 million in the first half of 2001 and income of $264 million in 2000. Included in 2001 was an asset impairment charge related to the Company’s investment in Endwave of $70 million, offset by net gains on the sale of assets of approximately $30 million. Included in 2000 were the following items: gains on sales of shares of RFMD common stock of $217 million, other income on Endwave merger of $55 million, gain on the exchange of Paracel stock of $23 million and a loss of $43 million related to foreign exchange.

The effective income tax rate was 45.9 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 37.7 percent in 2000. Excluding unusual items, the effective income tax rate would have been approximately 36.0 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

Automotive Restructuring

The Company has taken actions to enhance the automotive businesses’ profit margin, including the integration of LucasVarity. The severance costs and plant closings accruals related to these actions were $63 million at December 31, 2000. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded additional before tax charges of $54 million, primarily for headcount reductions, of which $23 million was recorded in the second quarter. Charges of $25 million were recorded in administrative and selling expenses and $29 million in cost of sales. During the first six months of 2001, these actions resulted in a permanent reduction of approximately 1,500 automotive salaried positions. The Company used $56 million for severance payments and plant closings. The balance at June 30, 2001 of $61 million is expected to be used by the third quarter of 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION

In the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash from operating activities of $444 million, an increase in debt of $29 million, and proceeds from the sale of nonstrategic assets of $6 million were used primarily for capital expenditures of $335 million, dividend payments of $87 million and other items of $63 million. As a result, cash and cash equivalents decreased $6 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2000, cash from operating activities of $402 million, proceeds from the sale of nonstrategic assets of $1,396 million, and other items of $57 million were used primarily for capital expenditures of $312 million, debt payments of $1,454 million and dividend payments of $82 million. As a result, cash and cash equivalents increased $7 million.

Net debt (short-term debt, the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents) was $6.4 billion at June 30, 2001 and at December 31, 2000. The ratio of net debt to total capital (net debt, minority interests and shareholders’ investment) was 72 percent at June 30, 2001 and 70 percent at December 31, 2000. The percentage of fixed rate debt to total debt was 73 percent at June 30, 2001 compared to 66 percent at the end of 2000.

The Company amended and restated the revolving credit agreement that expired January 23, 2001 in an aggregate amount of $1.8 billion with 26 banks to establish a new expiration date of January 22, 2002 with an option to extend the maturity of outstanding borrowings at that time to January 22, 2003. The interest rate under the agreement is either the prime rate or a rate based on LIBOR, at the option of the Company. The Company also canceled a revolving credit agreement for use by the Company’s Brazilian operations.

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company issued $500 million of 7.625% Notes due March 2006, utilizing the universal shelf registration statement.

During the second quarter of 2001, the Company refinanced $100 million of commercial paper borrowings by entering into a debt agreement due April 2003. The interest rate under the agreement is a floating rate based on three-month LIBOR.

At June 30, 2001, $400 million of short-term obligations were reclassified to long-term obligations as the Company intends to refinance the obligations on a long-term basis and has the ability to do so under its existing credit agreements.

At June 30, 2001, the Company has $1.2 billion available under its universal shelf registration statement for issuance of securities.

At June 30, 2001, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1.7 billion primarily due to the issuance of debt incurred to purchase LucasVarity. Management believes that sufficient resources from funds generated by operations, dispositions and existing borrowing capacity, are available to maintain liquidity.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is subject to inherent risks attributed to operating in a global economy. It is the Company’s policy to utilize derivative financial instruments to manage its interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks. When appropriate, the Company uses derivatives to hedge its exposure to short-term interest rate changes as a lower cost substitute for the issuance of fixed rate debt and as a means of securing long-term, floating-rate debt. Also, the Company may use interest rate agreements in the management of interest rate exposure on debt issuances. The Company manages cash flow transactional foreign exchange risk pursuant to a written corporate policy. Forward contracts and, to a lesser extent, options are utilized to protect the Company’s cash flow from adverse movements in exchange rates.

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the derivative financial instruments. The Company limits this exposure by entering into agreements with a number of major financial institutions that meet credit standards established by the Company and that are expected to satisfy fully their obligations under the contracts. Derivative financial instruments are viewed by the Company as a risk management tool and are not used for speculative or trading purposes.

Based on the Company’s interest rate exposure on variable rate borrowings at June 30, 2001, a one-percentage-point increase in the average interest rate on the Company’s variable rate borrowings would increase future interest expense by approximately $2 million per month.

Based on the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk resulting from derivative foreign currency instruments outstanding at June 30, 2001, a 10 percent uniform strengthening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the currencies in which those derivative foreign currency instruments are denominated would result in a $124 million loss in fair value.

The Company’s sensitivity analyses of the effects of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates do not reflect the effect of such changes on the related hedged transactions or on other operating transactions. The Company’s sensitivity analyses of the effects of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates do not factor in a potential change in the level of variable rate borrowings or derivative instruments outstanding that could take place if these hypothetical conditions prevailed.

Management believes the Company’s current financial position and financing arrangements allow flexibility in worldwide financing activities and permit the Company to respond to changing conditions in credit markets. Management believes that funds generated from operations and existing borrowing capacity are adequate to fund debt service requirements, capital expenditures, working capital including tax requirements, company-sponsored research and development programs and dividend payments to shareholders.

Refer to the Financial Instruments note to Financial Statements for further discussion of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2001.
