                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          TO ACCOMPANY 1997 FORM 5500
                     ANNUAL REPORT OF EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
                              UNDER ERISA OF 1974

                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997



          The supplemental schedules required to accompany the Plan's Form 5500
are not required since the Plan's assets are held in a Master Trust.
Accordingly, detailed financial information, including the supplemental
schedules, must be filed separately with the Department of Labor by the plan
administrator.


                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of
Raytheon Company:

          We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
for plan benefits of the Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan for Specified
Hourly Payroll Employees (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the
year ended December 31, 1997. 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 audits.

          We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of
the Plan as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1997 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

A.      Description of Plan:
                
General

          The following description of the Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan
for Specified Hourly Payroll Employees (the "Plan") provides only general
information. Participants should refer to the plan document for a complete
description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan is a defined contribution plan
covering certain hourly payroll employees of Raytheon Company (the "Company")
who are employed in units represented by specified labor unions. To participate
in the Plan, eligible employees must have three months of service and may enter
the Plan only on the first day of each month. The purpose of the Plan is to
provide participants with a tax-effective means of meeting both short- and
long-term investment objectives. The Plan is intended to be a "qualified cash or
deferred arrangement" under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code (the "Code"). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

          The Plan's investments are held in the Raytheon Company Master Trust
for Defined Contribution Plans "Master Trust" with the assets of other defined
contribution plans of Raytheon Company and subsidiaries. The trustee of the
Master Trust maintains a separate account reflecting the equitable share in the
Trust of each plan.

          Investment income and administrative expenses relating to the Master
Trust are allocated to the individual plans based upon average monthly balances
invested by each plan.

Contributions and Deferrals

          Eligible employees are allowed to defer to the Plan up to 17% of their
salaries. The Company contributes amounts equal to 50% of each participant's
deferral, up to a maximum of 3% of the participant's salary. As of December 31,
1997, the annual employee deferral for a participant cannot exceed $9,500.
Rollover contributions from other qualified plans are accepted by the Plan.
Participants may invest their deferrals in increments of 1% in any combination
of seven funds: (a) a Fixed Income Fund under which assets are invested
primarily in contracts providing for fixed rates of interest for specified
periods of time, (b) an Equity Fund which invests in shares of a mutual fund
which consists primarily of income-producing equity securities, (c) a Raytheon
Common Stock Fund which invests in shares of Raytheon Company Class B common
stock, (d) a Stock Index Fund which invests in a commingled pool consisting
primarily of equity securities and is designed to track the S&P 500 Index, (e) a
Balanced Fund which invests in shares of a mutual fund which consists primarily
of equity securities, bonds and money market instruments, (f) the Magellan Fund,
a growth fund which invests primarily in equities of companies of all types and
sizes, and (g) the Blue Chip Fund, a growth fund which invests primarily in
equities of well known and established companies. Dividends and distributions
from investments of the Equity Fund, the Raytheon Common Stock Fund, the Stock
Index Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Magellan Fund and the Blue Chip Fund are
reinvested in their respective funds; stock dividends, stock splits and similar
changes are also reflected in the funds.

                                       5
             
Participant Accounts

          Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
deferral, the Company's contribution and an allocation of plan earnings. Plan
earnings are allocated based on account balances by fund.
                
Vesting

          Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary deferrals plus
actual earnings thereon. Vesting requirements for employer contributions plus
earnings thereon may vary depending upon when an employee became eligible to
participate in the Plan. Vesting generally occurs upon the earliest of the
completion of five years of service or upon three years of participation or upon
retirement, death, disability, or attainment of normal retirement age.
Forfeitures of the nonvested portions of terminated participants' accounts are
used to reduce required contributions of the Company.
             
Distributions to Participants
                
          A participant may withdraw all or a portion of deferrals, employer
contributions and related earnings upon attainment of age 59-1/2. For reasons of
financial hardship, as defined in the Plan document, a participant may withdraw
all or a portion of deferrals. On termination of employment, a participant will
receive a lump-sum distribution unless the vested account is valued in excess of
$3,500 and the participant elects to defer distribution. A retiree or a
beneficiary of a deceased participant may defer the distribution until January
of the year following attainment of age 65.
                
Loans to Participants
               
          A participant may borrow against a portion of the balance in the
participant's account, subject to certain restrictions. The maximum amount of a
loan is the lesser of one-half of the participant's vested account balance or
$50,000. The minimum loan which may be granted is $500. The interest rate
applied is equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the
first business day in June and December of each year. Loans must be repaid over
a period of up to 5 years by means payroll deductions. In certain cases, the
repayment period may be extended up to 15 years. Interest paid to the Plan on
loans to participants is credited to the borrower's account in the investment
fund to which repayments are made.
               
Administrative Expenses
                
          Substantially all expenses of administering the Plan are paid by the
plan participants.


B.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

          The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting.

                                       6

          The Plan's investment contracts are fully benefit-responsive and are
therefore included in the financial statements at their contract value, defined
as net contributions and deferrals plus interest earned on the underlying
investments at contracted rates. Because the investment contracts are fully
benefit-responsive, contract values approximate fair value. Investments in
mutual funds and the commingled pool are valued at the closing net asset value
reported on the last business day of the year. Investments in securities (common
stocks) traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported
sales price on the last business day of the year. Cash equivalents are
short-term money market instruments and are valued at cost which approximates
fair value.

          Security transactions are recorded on trade date. Except for its
investment contracts (Note E), the Plan's investments are held by
bank-administered trust funds. Payables for outstanding security transactions
represent trades which have occurred but have not yet settled. 

          The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets the net
appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which consists
of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
on those investments.

          Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income from other
investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.

          Benefits are recorded when paid.

          Certain items in the 1996 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the 1997 presentation.

          The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the Plan administrator to make
significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net
assets and liabilities available for benefits at the date of the financial
statements and the changes in net assets available for benefits during the
reporting period and, when applicable, disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from the estimates included in the financial statements.

          The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds and other investment
securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest
rate, market and credit risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain
investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the
value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes
in risks in the near term would materially affect participants' account balances
and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for plan
benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits.

                                       7

C.      Federal Income Tax Status:

          The Plan obtained its latest determination letter in June 1995, in
which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as submitted, was in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The
Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the
Plan administrator and the Plan's legal counsel believe that the Plan is
currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for income
taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

D.      Plan Termination:

          Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company
reserves the right under the Plan at any time or times to discontinue its
contributions and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In
the event of plan termination, after payment of all expenses and proportional
adjustment of accounts to reflect such expenses, fund losses or profits, and
reallocations, each participant shall be entitled to receive any amounts then
credited to his or her account.

E.      Investment Contracts:

          The Plan invests in collateralized fixed income investment portfolios
(with no expiration date), three of which are managed by insurance companies and
one of which is managed by an investment management firm. The credited interest
rates are adjusted semiannually to reflect the experienced and anticipated
yields to be earned on such investments, based on their book value. The
annualized average yield and credited interest rates were as follows:
                                                        
                                                       Annualized
                                                         Average    Credited
                                                         Yield    Interest Rate

For the year ended December 31, 1997:
   Bankers Trust (WBS 92-485)                              6.95%       6.95%
   Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (GIC GA-12908)      6.86%       6.86%
   Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (GIC GA-13659)      6.43%       6.43%
   Prudential Asset Management Company (GIC 917163-001)    6.99%       6.99%

 For the year ended December 31, 1996:
    Bankers Trust (WBS 92-485)                             6.87%       6.95%
    Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (GIC GA-12908)     6.77%       6.86%
    Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (GIC GA-13659)     6.36%       6.43%
    Prudential Asset Management Company (GIC 917163-001)   6.89%       6.99%

          The contract values are subject to limitations in certain situations
including large workforce reductions and plan termination. 

          In the financial statements, the two Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company contracts are recorded as one investment option.

                                       8

F.      Related Party Transactions:

          In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, Fidelity Management
Trust Company (the "Trustee") acts as the Plan's agent for purchases and sales
of shares of Raytheon Company Class B common stock. These transactions are
performed on the Master Trust level. For the Master Trust, purchases amounted to
$200,689,057 and $158,515,882 and sales amounted to $102,165,608 and $38,523,792
for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively.

G.      Transfers:

          Transfers include transfers of participant accounts, individually
and/or in groups, between the Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan for Specified
Hourly Payroll Employees and other plans included in the Raytheon Company Master
Trust for those participants and/or groups of participants who changed plans
during the year. Transfers also include transfers of participant accounts,
individually and/or in groups, between the Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan
for Specified Hourly Payroll Employees and similar savings plans of other
companies for those participants who changed companies during the year.
