Item 5. Other Events.

     In its earnings release issued for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2001, TRW has reported its results of operations by four segments. TRW previously reported its financial results for the first three quarters of 2001 by six business segments: Systems, Space & Electronics, Aeronautical Systems, Chassis Systems, Occupant Safety Systems and Automotive Electronics. Effective with the fourth quarter of 2001, as a result of a consolidation of the company’s automotive businesses, Chassis Systems, Occupant Safety Systems and Automotive Electronics were combined to form one Automotive segment. The consolidation of TRW’s global automotive operations into a single unit under a single executive was effected to improve the speed of decision-making, encourage consistent operating and customer practices throughout the entire automotive business and lower cost. The reporting of the Automotive business as one segment is also consistent with the way the Automotive business is now managed and the way resources are allocated by the Chief Executive Officer. In addition, effective with the fourth quarter of 2001, the interest component of Other Postretirement Employee Benefits and a portion of pension income related to businesses previously disposed of, previously reported under Corporate Expense and Other, was combined with Pension Income, and is now reported as Net Employee Benefits Income. This action was taken to combine these non-cash, employee benefit-related items, into one line item, and to isolate the reporting of corporate expenses.

     A statistical summary of TRW’s first three quarter results for 2001 based on the new reporting format described above is provided in this report.
