Item 5. Other Events.

        On March 11, 2002, Raytheon Company (the "Company") completed the sale
of its Aircraft Integration Systems business (AIS).

        Included under Item 7 of this Report on Form 8-K is financial
information, including consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2001
and 2000, and for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, reflecting
AIS as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets. The consolidated financial statements included in this Form
8-K are now the historical financial statements of the Company and supercede the
historical financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 filed on March 19, 2002.

        This Form 8-K is filed with respect to the Company's year ended December
31, 2001. No attempt has been made in this Form 8-K to update disclosures for
events subsequent to the initial filing date of March 19, 2002.

        This Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Company's other
public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2002
filed on April 24, 2002.

        In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(SFAS No. 142), which requires that goodwill amortization be discontinued and
replaced with periodic tests of impairment. SFAS No. 142 became effective on
January 1, 2002, accordingly, the Company is no longer amortizing goodwill.
Reported income from continuing operations and basic and diluted earnings per
share from continuing operations and reported net income (loss) and basic and
diluted earnings (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000,
and 1999 have been adjusted in Note A, Accounting Policies, to exclude goodwill
amortization in accordance with SFAS No. 142.
