INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT       
    
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
 Hughes LAN Systems, Inc.:      
    
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Hughes LAN Systems, Inc. (the
Company) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of
operations and accumulated deficit and of cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1994.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company'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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Hughes LAN Systems, Inc. at December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.     
    
As discussed in Note 1, the Company has been dependent upon Hughes Aircraft
Company (HAC), its parent, for financial support.  Accordingly, the accompanying
financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of the financial
condition or results of operations had the Company operated without the
financial support of HAC.  Hughes LAN Systems, Inc. was acquired by Whittaker
Corporation on April 24, 1995.

HUGHES LAN SYSTEMS, INC.      

    
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992      
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    
1.  CORPORATE RELATIONSHIP AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION     

    
    Hughes LAN Systems, Inc. (the Company) was a wholly-owned subsidiary of
    Hughes Aircraft Company (HAC) since 1989.  The Company was a member of the
    Hughes Network Systems operations and had significant sales to HAC related
    companies, as summarized in Note 6.  The financial statements may not
    necessarily be indicative of the financial condition or results of
    operations had the Company operated without the financial support of HAC.
    On April 24, 1995, the Company was acquired by Whittaker Corporation, an
    unrelated party.  As part of this transaction, HAC agreed to contribute to
    the capital of the Company all amounts due it or its affiliates as of that
    date; accordingly, such amounts are classified as long-term in the
    accompanying financial statements.      

    
    HAC provided corporate administrative support including treasury, financing
    and tax compliance services and assessed the Company a monthly charge for
    these administrative support services. The Company borrowed funds on a
    revolving basis and paid interest to HAC based upon net assets during 1994
    and actual cash usage during 1993 and 1992. The intercompany transactions
    and balances are summarized at Note 6.      

    
    The Company, along with other HAC subsidiaries, was included in the
    consolidated federal income tax return of General Motors Corporation (GM),
    the ultimate parent company of HAC. The Company was also included in the
    combined HAC California and other state income tax returns. GM and HAC
    allocate income tax expense or benefit on a basis generally equivalent to
    that which would be recognized on a separate return basis if the Company
    filed separate federal and state income tax returns.      

    
2.  BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES     

    
    BUSINESS DESCRIPTION - The Company designs, manufactures, services and
    markets hubs for use in conjunction with local and wide area networks.  The
    primary product, the Enterprise Hub, offers connectivity for Ethernet, Token
    Ring, and FDDI networks.      

    
    INVENTORIES are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates
    first-in, first-out cost) or market.      

    
    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
    computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of one
    to five years or the lease term, if shorter.      

    
    GOODWILL - The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of
    net assets acquired is being amortized over twenty-five years using the
    straight-line method. As a result of HAC's decision to offer the Company for
    sale separate from the other entities comprising the Hughes Network Systems
    operations, the value of goodwill was reduced by $35 million during 1994 to
    reflect the Company's estimated market value as a separate entity.      

    
    REVENUE RECOGNITION -  The Company recognizes product revenue and accrues
    warranty and royalty expenses upon shipment.  Network installation contract
    revenues are recognized using the cost-to-cost       

                                       5
<PAGE>

     
    percentage-of-completion method. Unbilled amounts resulting from contracts-
    in-process are reclassified to accounts receivable when such amounts are
    contractually billable. Support contract revenues are recognized on a
    straight-line basis over the contract period.      

    
    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS - Development costs incurred in the research and
    development of new software products and enhancements to existing software
    products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been
    established. The Company believes its current process for developing
    software is essentially completed concurrently with the establishment of
    technological feasibility; accordingly, software costs incurred after the
    establishment of technological feasibility have not been material and
    therefore have been expensed.      

    
    INCOME TAXES - The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which
    requires an asset and liability approach to account for income taxes.      

    
    FISCAL PERIOD - The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the last
    Sunday in December. The fiscal years ended December 25, 1994 consisted of 52
    weeks, December 26, 1993 consisted of 53 weeks and December 20, 1992
    consisted of 52 weeks and, for convenience, have been presented in the
    accompanying financial statements as ending December 31.

    Recognition of the tax benefit related to the Company's deferred tax assets
    is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income.  The Company has
    experienced significant losses in its years of operations.  As a result of
    these losses, management has determined that realization of the deferred tax
    assets is not likely and, accordingly, a valuation allowance has been
    established for the tax assets.  The change in the valuation allowance was a
    net increase of $450,000, $536,000 and a net decrease of $174,000 for the
    years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.      

    
    Had the Company filed its own federal income tax return, deferred tax
    benefits relating to net operating loss carryforwards of $5.4 million and
    $3.2 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993 would have been included in
    deferred tax assets, offset by valuation allowances of the same amounts. The
    benefit of these net operating losses has been utilized in the consolidated
    return of GM and is therefore not reflected above in the deferred tax
    assets.      

    
    Prior to the acquisition of the Company by HAC, the Company incurred net
    operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,258,000 for federal tax
    purposes that will begin to expire in 2001 and federal business and research
    credits of approximately $1,681,000 that begin to expire in 1995. The extent
    to which the loss carryforwards can be used to offset future taxable income
    may be limited, depending on the extent of ownership changes within any
    three-year period.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN      

    
    The Company provides a qualified employee savings and retirement plan to all
    eligible employees.  The Plan is designed to qualify under Section 401(k) of
    the Internal Revenue Code and allows the Company to make discretionary
    contributions.  The Company contributed approximately $581,000, $478,000 and
    $556,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
     
    
    The Company has no other plans which provide retirement or other post
    employment benefits.      

    
11. EXPORT SALES INFORMATION      

    
    Export product sales for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992
    were approximately $12,560,000, $9,610,000 and $6,466,000, respectively

1.    CORPORATE RELATIONSHIP     
          
      Hughes LAN Systems, Inc. (the Company) was a wholly-owned subsidiary of
      Hughes Aircraft Company (HAC) since 1989.  The financial statements may
      not necessarily be indicative of the financial condition or results of
      operations had the Company operated without the financial support of HAC.
      On April 24, 1995, the Company was acquired by Whittaker Corporation, an
      unrelated party.  As part of this transaction, HAC agreed to contribute to
      the capital of the Company all amounts due it or its affiliates as of that
      date; accordingly, such amounts are classified as long-term in the
      accompanying financial statements.     
    
2.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION     
          
      While the quarterly financial information contained in this filing is
      unaudited, the financial statements presented reflect all adjustments
      (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which the Company considers
      necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the
      interim periods covered and of the financial condition of the Company at
      the date of the interim balance sheet.  The results for interim periods
      are not necessarily indicative of the results of the entire year.  The
      information included in this report should be read in conjunction with the
      Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto.     
    
3.    FISCAL PERIOD     
          
      The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in
      December.  The fiscal year ended December 25, 1994 consisted of 52 weeks.
      The three months ended March 19, 1995 and March 20, 1994 each consisted
      of 12 weeks.  For convenience the period ends have been presented as

Item 7(b). Pro Forma Financial Information     

                                 
                             WHITTAKER CORPORATION
             PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS     

    
On April 24, 1995, Whittaker Corporation acquired all of the stock of Hughes LAN
Systems, Inc. (HLS) from Hughes Aircraft Company (HAC). The Company paid 
approximately $16 million in cash, subject to adjustment, a 7% convertible 
subordinated note in the principal amount of $15 million, and contingent 
payments based on the revenues from sales of certain HLS products during the 
period November 1, 1995 through October 31, 1999.     
    
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combining statements of operations 
of Whittaker Corporation and its subsidiaries and Hughes Lan Systems, Inc. 
(HLS) for the year ended October 31, 1994 and the six months ended April 30, 
1995 have been prepared to illustrate the effect of the business combination 
which is being accounted for as a purchase, as though the business combination 
occurred on November 1, 1993 and November 1, 1994, in the pro forma statements 
of operations. The pro forma adjustments and the assumptions on which they are 
based are described in the accompanying Notes to Whittaker Corporation Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Combining Financial Statements. Because the Acquisition of 
HLS was completed prior to April 30, 1995, the balance sheet of HLS is included 
in the consolidated balance sheet of Whittaker Corporation as of April 30, 1995 
which is included in its Form 10-Q for the period ended April 30, 1995.     
    
The Whittaker Corporation unaudited pro forma condensed combining statements of
operations are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily
indicative of the consolidated results of operations of Whittaker Corporation
that would have been reported had the business combination occurred on the dates
indicated, nor do they represent a forecast of the consolidated results of
operations of Whittaker Corporation for any future period. Furthermore, no
effect has been given in the Whittaker Corporation unaudited pro forma condensed
combining statements of operations for operating and synergistic benefits that
may be realized through the combination of the entities. The Whittaker
Corporation unaudited pro forma condensed combining statements of operations,
including the Notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the historical 
consolidated financial statements of Whittaker Corporation and HLS which are 
incorporated herein by reference and included herein, respectively.

                   NOTES TO WHITTAKER CORPORATION PRO FORMA
                  CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS      
    
      A. The Whittaker Corporation unaudited pro forma combining statements of
operations and the related notes give effect to the business combination as a
purchase. The unaudited pro forma condensed combining statements of operations
of Whittaker Corporation and its subsidiaries and Hughes Lan Systems, Inc. (HLS)
for the year ended October 31, 1994 and the six months ended April 30, 1995,
assumes that the business combination occurred on November 1, 1993 and November
1, 1994. HLS's historical financial statements are for fiscal years ended
December 31 and accordingly, the historical information for the calendar
quarters of HLS has been combined with the fiscal quarters of Whittaker
Corporation for the purpose of the pro forma presentation.      
    
      All interim financial data used to develop the Whittaker unaudited pro 
forma combining statements of operations is unaudited, but in the opinion of 
Whittaker's management, reflects all adjustments necessary (consisting only of 
normal recurring entries) for a fair presentation thereof. However, it should 
be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates may be less precise 
than at year end.      
    
      The preliminary allocation of the purchase price among the identifiable
tangible and intangible assets, as reflected in the accompanying pro forma
statements of operations, was based on an analysis of the fair value of those
assets. The Company continues to analyze the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed and further adjustments to the purchase price and changes in the
allocation of the purchase price may occur. Acquired in-process research and
development was analyzed through interviews and analysis of data concerning each
HLS developmental project. Expected future cash flows of each such project were
discounted to present value taking into account risks associated with the
inherent difficulties and uncertainties in completing the project, and thereby 
achieving technological feasibility, and risks related to the viability of and 
potential changes in future markets. This analysis resulted in approximately 
$3.25 million for acquired in-process research and development, which, under 
generally accepted accounting principles, was expensed immediately upon the 
completion of the acquisition in the period ended April 30, 1995 and reflected 
in the historical statement of income of Whittaker for that period. This amount 
was eliminated in the pro forma statement of operations as it represents a 
material non-recurring charge.      
    
      Developed technology was analyzed using the same methodology and resulted 
in an estimated value of $3.25 million, which is being amortized over five 
years. Goodwill, which is related to the ongoing value of the acquired network 
communications business, is being amortized over 20 years.      
    
      Whittaker expects to incur additional non-recurring charges during the
remainder of its fiscal year related to the elimination of duplicate facilities,
relocation and severance costs, and other integration costs. These amounts have
not yet been finalized and are not reflected in the accompanying pro forma
statement of operations.      
    
      B.  The pro forma combined primary earnings (loss) per share have been 
based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the 
periods, after increasing the net loss for the dividend requirements on 
Whittaker's outstanding $5.00 Cumulative Preferred Stock. Common stock 
equivalents are not dilutive for the pro forma periods presented. The exercise 
of the conversion option on the 7% convertible subordinated note issued in the 
acquisition is not considered dilutive for purposes of calculating fully diluted
earnings per share.
