WHITEHALL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
September 30, 1997

1.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and thus 
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by 
generally 
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In 
the 
opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair 
presentation have been included.

Operating results for the three and nine month periods ending September 
30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be 
expected for the entire year.

During February of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 
issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which will become effective 
for all financial statements issued for periods ending after December 
15, 1997, including interim periods.  SFAS No. 128 provides for the 
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the 
financial statements and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) 
Opinion No. 15, Earnings per Share.  SFAS No. 128 requires the 
restatement of earnings per share for prior periods presented after its 
effective date.  SFAS No.  128 does not have a material effect upon the 
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 
1996.  However, the impact on other prior periods has not yet been 
determined.

Net income per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the 
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during 
the three and nine months ending September 30, 1997 after giving effect 
to the equivalent shares which are issuable upon the exercise of stock 
options determined by the treasury stock method in accordance with APB 
No. 15.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements 
and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant's Annual Report on 
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

2.	Notes Receivable

During 1994, the Company obtained 40% ownership of a joint venture 
involved in the development of aircraft-related technology for an 
initial investment of $1,000.  The Company accounts for its investment 
in the joint venture under the equity method.  In 1994, the Company 
obtained a promissory note for an advance of $2,000,000 to the joint 
venture.  The principal balance of the promissory note accrues interest 
at a maximum rate of 5%, and the principal balance together with 
accrued interest are due January 5, 1999.  The note is secured by 
certain assets of the joint venture.  During 1997, 1996 and 1995 the 
Company advanced an additional $476,000, $75,000 and $1,020,000 to the 
joint venture, net of repayments.  These advances are included in 
accounts receivable.
                                                           
3.	Commitments and Contingencies

On May 10, 1991, an action was filed in the District Court of Dallas 
County, Texas, by Lee D. Webster, former Chairman, Chief Executive 
Officer and President of Whitehall, against the Company, each of its 
directors (other than Mr. Webster) and Cambridge Capital Fund, L.P., 
alleging, among other things, that ( i) the defendants' actions, both 
individually and in concert, constituted willful interference with Mr. 
Webster's employment relationship with the Company and were the direct 
cause of Mr. Webster's termination as its President and Chairman of the 
Board, and (ii) the defendants' actions forced Mr. Webster into 
retirement without providing Mr. Webster with retirement benefits which 
Mr. Webster was purportedly promised.  On August 17, 1994, the 
defendants were granted a partial summary judgment.  On October 24, 
1994, Mr. Webster filed a third amended petition and alleged the 
following causes of action: tortious interference with contractual 
relations against Cambridge Capital Fund, L.P., and directors

3.	Commitments and Contingencies - Continued

George F. Baker and John J. McAtee; intentional infliction of emotional 
distress; and breach of oral contracts.  The third amended petition 
sought compensatory and punitive damages in excess of $35 million.  On 
January 12, 1995, the Court entered an abatement on one of the breach 
of oral contract claims against the Company and entered a summary 
judgment in the defendants' favor on all remaining claims alleged by 
Mr. Webster.  On February 26, 1996, the Court granted a summary 
judgment in favor of the defendants on Mr. Webster's remaining claim 
and entered a take nothing final judgment which dismissed all of Mr. 
Webster's claims with prejudice to refiling. On March 26, 1996, Mr. 
Webster appealed the final judgment to the Dallas Court of Appeals.  
Management has vigorously defended the appeal.

A subsidiary of the Company, Aero Corporation ("Aero"), is taking 
remedial action pursuant to Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") 
regulations at the Lake City, Florida facility.  The Company does not 
anticipate any material direct effects upon the capital expenditures, 
earnings and competitive position of the Company from compliance with 
present Federal, State and local provisions which have been enacted or 
adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or 
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.  The Company 
does expect, however, that compliance with such regulations will 
require, from time to time, both increased operating costs and capital 
expenditures which may be substantial.  As of September 30, 1997 and 
December 31, 1996, the Company had reserved approximately $272,000 and 
$379,000 respectively for anticipated environmental remediation costs 
at the Aero facility.  The decrease in accrued environmental 
remediation costs was due to expenditures.  Other remaining costs to be 
incurred will include testing and monitoring to be performed over a 20 
to 30 year period.  Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may 
vary from the estimate, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating 
environmental exposures.  These uncertainties include the extent of 
required remediation based on testing and evaluation not yet completed 
and the varying costs and effectiveness of remediation methods.

The Company is also involved in certain legal proceedings in the normal 
course of its business.

After consultation with counsel, management is of the opinion that the 
outcome of the above-mentioned proceedings will not have a material 
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the 
Company.

4. Acquisition

During July of 1997 the Company, through its subsidiary Aero - Macon 
Corporation acquired in an asset purchase agreement the aircraft 
maintenance facilities located in Macon, Georgia that were owned by 
Zantop International Airlines, Inc. for cash and the assumption of 
lease liabilities for an aggregate cost of $6.7 million.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
September 30, 1997

General

The principal business of the Company is the third party repair and 
maintenance of aircraft for its customers.  The Company's business is 
in part seasonal in nature and is influenced by many of the same 
factors that affect the aircraft maintenance industry as a whole.

The Company has increased its capacity to better take advantage of 
growth in the industry by recently purchasing an additional aircraft 
repair and maintenance facility located in Macon, Georgia as well as 
disposing of those segments of its business which do not fit with the 
Company's expansion plans.  Additionally, the Company owns a 40% 
interest in AvAero, a joint venture that manufactures FAA-certified 
hush kits for jet engines.

Results of Operations

The following tables set forth, for the periods and dates indicated, 
certain financial data including, as applicable, the percentage of net 
sales:

</TABLE>


Sales. Whitehall Corporation's consolidated sales for the three and 
nine months ended September 30, 1997 of $14.3 and $46.8 million, 
respectively, represented a 12.6% and 17.4% decrease from the sales 
reported in the comparable periods of 1996.  Sales for the first 
through third quarters of 1996 include $1.0 and $4.3 million, 
respectively, related to the Ocean Systems segment which was sold in 
the fourth quarter of 1996 and its Electronics segment which was sold 
in the first quarter of 1997.  Sales in the Aircraft Maintenance 
segment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 of 
$14.3 and $46.2 million, respectively, were lower than aircraft 
maintenance sales during the comparable periods in 1996. The decrease 
was primarily due to hangar space that was reserved in anticipation of 
the U.S. Air Force C-130 maintenance awarded during April of 1997, 
(subsequently canceled at the convenience of the government in June of 
1997). The C-130 contract provides for reimbursement by the U.S. Air 
force of costs incurred during its operation and the Company has 
recorded a claim against the government for these costs.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
WHITEHALL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
September 30, 1997

Gross Profit(Loss) on Sales. The loss in gross profit on sales (derived 
by deducting cost of sales from sales) during the current three and 
nine month periods of $6.9 million and $871,000, respectively, compared 
to the comparable periods in the previous year is primarily 
attributable to the reserving of $3.5 million of accounts receivable of 
which collectability is in serious doubt. Approximately $1.2 million of 
accounts receivable has been reserved relating to several customers 
that are either bankrupt or are in extremely weak financial condition 
and approximately $1.0 million of accounts receivable have been 
reserved because of disputes with certain large customers of the 
Company the ultimate resolution of which cannot be determined. In 
addition, during the current quarter the Company has written off 
approximately $1.6 million in accounts receivable related to a 
settlement of a dispute with one of its customers.
 
Selling, General and Administrative. The increase in selling, general 
and administrative expenses during the current three and nine month 
periods of 47.9% and 8.5%, respectively, over the comparable periods in 
the previous year is primarily due to increased legal expenses relating 
to the Company's acquisition activities.

Other Income(Loss). The current three and nine month other loss of $4.9 
million and $3.8 million, respectively as compared to the Company's 
other income of $807,000 and $1.2 million during the comparable 
respective periods in the previous year is because of a write-down of 
an investment in the preferred stock of Hydroscience Technologies, Inc. 
of $4.5 million.

Net Income(Loss). The Company's net loss during the current three and 
nine month periods of $8.2 and $5.8 million, respectively, is primarily 
attributable to the decreased gross profit as described above, 
increased selling, general and administrative expenses and the other 
losses related to the write-down of the Company's investment in 
preferred stock.

Financial Condition

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, cash used operations 
totaled $6.1 million as compared to cash used in operations of $2.3 
million in the same period of 1996.  The cash used in operations was 
primarily a result of increases in trade accounts and income taxes 
receivable. The Company's capital expenditures totaled $3.0 million 
during the first nine months of 1997 compared to $2.8 million during 
the same period of 1996.  The capital expenditures are a part of the 
continuing program to maintain its aircraft maintenance facility. 

The Company believes that despite the losses generated by reserving 
certain of its accounts receivable and write-down of an investment in 
preferred stock (neither action affecting cash balances), its cash 
generated from its operations coupled with its current cash balances 
and line of credit facility are sufficient to meet its short and long-
term capital and liquidity requirements *. The Company intends to 
actively pursue opportunities for the acquisition of aircraft 
maintenance facilities *. In order to provide additional funds for 
continued pursuit of the Company's growth strategies and for operations 
over the longer term, the Company may incur, from time to time, 
additional short and long-term bank indebtedness and may issue, in 
public or private transactions, its equity and debt securities, the 
availability and terms of which may depend upon market and other 
conditions.  There can be no assurance that such possible additional 
financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, the 
Company did not acquire any additional shares of its common stock.  At 
September 30, 1997 there were approximately 242,200 additional shares 
available for repurchase under the Company's current repurchase 
authorization.  The Company may continue to acquire stock as market 
conditions warrant*.

Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

The information contained in Item 3 of the Registrant's Annual Report 
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, is incorporated 
herein by reference.

On May 10, 1991, an action was filed in the District Court of Dallas 
County, Texas, by Lee D. Webster, former Chairman, Chief Executive 
Officer and President of Whitehall, against the Company, each of its 
directors (other than Mr. Webster) and Cambridge Capital Fund, L.P., 
alleging, among other things, that (i) the defendants' actions, both 
individually and in concert, constituted willful interference with Mr. 
Webster's employment relationship with the Company and were the direct 
cause of Mr. Webster's termination as its President and Chairman of the 
Board, and (ii) the defendants' actions forced Mr. Webster into 
retirement without providing Mr. Webster with retirement benefits which 
Mr. Webster was purportedly promised.  On August 17, 1994, the 
defendants were granted a partial summary judgment.  On October 24, 
1994, Mr. Webster filed a third amended petition and alleged the 
following causes of action: tortious interference with contractual 
relations against Cambridge Capital Fund, L.P., and directors George F. 
Baker and John J. McAtee; intentional infliction of emotional distress; 
and breach of oral contracts.  The third amended petition sought 
compensatory and punitive damages in excess of $35 million.  On January 
12, 1995, the Court entered an abatement on one of the breach of oral 
contract claims against the Company and entered a summary judgment in 
the defendants' favor on all remaining claims alleged by Mr. Webster.  
On February 26, 1996, the Court granted a summary judgment in favor of 
the defendants on Mr. Webster's remaining claim and entered a take 
nothing final judgment which dismissed all of Mr. Webster's claims with 
prejudice to refiling. On March 26, 1996, Mr. Webster appealed the 
final judgment to the Dallas Court of Appeals.  Management has 
vigorously defended the appeal.
