REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of General Dynamics Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of General Dynamics Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of
December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows, and Shareholders’ Equity
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. These Consolidated Financial Statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Consolidated Financial Statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 Consolidated Financial Statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of General
Dynamics Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), General Dynamics
Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 8,
2016, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
