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. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 29, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

     The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, have been restated to present the results of the company’s undersea fiber optic cable-laying business in discontinued operations, as discussed in Note C.

     In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, that are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 29, 2003, and June 30, 2002. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

(B)  Equity Compensation Plans

     The company accounts for its incentive compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. The company measures compensation expense for stock options as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the company’s stock at the measurement date over the exercise price. The company records stock awards at fair value at the date of the award.

     Had compensation expense for stock options been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the company’s incentive compensation plans, the company’s net earnings and net earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated as follows:
