                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Administrative Committee
Whittaker Corporation Savings and Stock Investment Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of Whittaker Corporation Savings and Stock Investment Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended. 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, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held for
investment as of December 31, 1993, and transactions or series of transactions
in excess of 5% of the current value of Plan assets for the year then ended, are
presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, and are not a required part of the financial statements.
The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the 1993 financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 1993 financial
statements taken as a whole.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements of the Whittaker Corporation Savings and
Stock Investment Plan (the Plan) are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Investments in securities are stated at fair value. The investments in Whittaker
Corporation and BioWhittaker, Inc. common stock are stated at fair value based
on closing sales prices on the last business day of the year. Deposits with
insurance companies are stated at contract value. Contract value represents
contributions made under the contract plus interest at the contract rate, less
periodic distributions.

Investments in the Bankers Trust Company BT Pyramid Discretionary Account Cash
Fund and the Bankers Trust Company BT Pyramid Directed Account Cash Fund, which
are short-term investment funds, are carried at cost which approximates fair
value. The investment in the Bankers Trust Company BT Pyramid Equity Index Fund,
which is principally a portfolio of common stocks included in the Standard and
Poor's Composite Index of 500 stocks, is stated at the market value of the fund
portfolio as computed by Bankers Trust Company (the Trustee).

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Plan is a defined contribution plan to which eligible employees may
voluntarily elect to contribute stated percentages of their compensation (as
defined). Generally, an employee of Whittaker Corporation (the Company) is
eligible to become a participant after completion of one year of service.
Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for more complete
information.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Participants may voluntarily contribute through salary deferrals up to 12% of
aggregate compensation received during all periods of participation. The Company
contributes on behalf of the participant an amount which is based on the
participant's contributions.

                                                                               4

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

CONTRIBUTIONS (CONTINUED)

Effective January 1, 1993, salary deferral contributions were limited to $8,994
per calendar year, subject to upward adjustment pursuant to the Internal Revenue
Code. The Company's matching contributions are invested primarily in the
Whittaker Common Stock Fund.

INVESTMENT OPTIONS

The individual accounts of each participant are held and invested by the
Trustee, in one or more of the following funds in accordance with the available
investment options selected by the participant:

     Whittaker Common Stock Fund (Fund A): An unsegregated fund which may only
     invest in Common Stock of the Company and securities convertible into
     Common Stock of the Company, or warrants or other rights to purchase Common
     Stock of the Company received as a result of holdings of such Common Stock.

     Diversified Portfolio Fund (Fund B): An unsegregated fund which may only
     invest in equity or other securities including, but not limited to, common
     stock, preferred stock, securities convertible into stock, interest-bearing
     securities, cash and cash equivalents, options, puts, calls or similar
     arrangements, and pooled funds maintained by the Trustee and invested in
     any of the foregoing securities, provided that no such investment may be
     made in securities issued by the Company. Effective September 1, 1988, this
     Fund has been invested in the Bankers Trust Company BT Pyramid Equity Index
     Fund.

     Fixed Income Fund (Fund C): An unsegregated fund which may only invest in
     interest-bearing and similar securities including, but not limited to,
     corporate bonds, notes, debentures, mortgages, government obligations,
     commercial paper, certificates of deposit, savings accounts, pooled funds
     maintained by the Trustee and invested in any of the foregoing securities,
     and various forms of contracts issued by insurance companies, provided that
     no such investment may be made in securities issued by the Company.

                                                                               5

                  Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

     BioWhittaker, Inc. Common Stock Fund (Fund D): An unsegregated fund
     invested in BioWhittaker, Inc. common stock. This fund was established in
     December 1991 in response to Whittaker Corporation's distribution of all of
     its interest in BioWhittaker, Inc. to its stockholders . No future
     contributions can be directed to this fund, nor can transfers be made to
     Fund D. Fund D will eventually be liquidated in an orderly manner when
     economics make it impractical to maintain.

     Participant Loan Fund: Plan participants may borrow the lesser of $50,000
     or one half of the value of any participant accounts plus one quarter of
     the value of any company accounts. Amounts borrowed must be repaid within
     five years, unless the loan is used for the purchase of a primary
     residence, which requires repayment within 15 years. Interest is charged at
     the trustee's prime rate at the date of loan approval.

VESTING

All amounts allocated to a participant's account are fully vested.

UNALLOCATED PLAN ASSETS

During 1992, Fund A received certain amounts representing its share of the
proceeds from a class action legal settlement. It has not yet been determined
how these unallocated Plan assets will be allocated among current and former
participants.

DISTRIBUTIONS

Distributions are payable to participants or their beneficiaries in a lump-sum
amount equal to their account balances upon retirement, disability, death or
termination of employment. At December 31, 1993 and 1992 there were $274,783 and
$447,574, respectively, of distributions payable to terminated, retired, or
withdrawing employees.

TERMINATION PROVISIONS

The Company has the right to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
terminate the Plan. In the event of such termination, participants will receive
a distribution equal to the vested value of their individual accounts.

                                                                               6

3. INVESTMENTS

The Plan's investments are held by a bank-administered trust fund. During 1993
and 1992, the Plan's investments (including investments bought, sold, as well as
held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in fair value as follows:

3. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)

Early withdrawals are permitted under certain of these contracts but are subject
to adjustments, the most restrictive of which is a forfeiture of interest on
amounts withdrawn and that any withdrawals will reduce the next scheduled
installment.

At December 31, 1993, the Fixed Income Fund held an investment of $483,137 in a
group annuity contract with Executive Life Insurance Company (ELIC). In April
1991, Executive Life Insurance Company was placed in a court-supervised
conservatorship by the California State Insurance Commissioner. This contract,
which was scheduled to mature January 9, 1993, went into default on that date.
During 1993, the contract was restructured by ELIC pursuant to the order of the
California Superior Court and then was transferred to Aurora National Life
Assurance Company by reinsurance and assumption. A realized loss of $135,896 was
recognized during 1993 to reflect the contract at its restructured value. An
estimate of any additional losses on this investment, if any, cannot be
determined at the present time.

Each participant's share in the Executive Life group annuity contract as of June
30, 1991 has been segregated within Fund C, and a detailed record of such is
being maintained by the Trustee until the situation is resolved. Accordingly,
Fund C distributions, transfers, and withdrawals after June 1991 do not include
the segregated asset and new contributions have not been affected.

                                                                               9

5. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Company has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
Revenue Service that the Plan qualifies, in form, under Sections 401(a) and
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and the underlying trust is,
therefore, exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code. Once qualified, the
Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its
qualification. The Administrative Committee has indicated that it is not aware
of any events which would cause the Plan to become disqualified in operation.

6. TRANSFER TO OTHER PLAN

In October 1991, Whittaker Corporation declared a special distribution to
Whittaker's stockholders of record on November 14, 1991 of one share of
BioWhittaker, Inc. common stock for each Whittaker common share held on the
record date to effect the spin off of the Company's biotechnology business. The
vested value of participant accounts of employees of BioWhittaker Inc. of
$3,635,456 was transferred to the newly established BioWhittaker, Inc. Savings
and Stock Investment Plan in 1992.
