ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
On June 12, 1998, the Reporting Persons purchased an aggregate 1,974,333
shares of Common Stock in a private transaction with Raytheon Corporation for
an aggregate consideration of $23,599,399.78. The funds to purchase the
Common Stock came from the working capital of the purchasers.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
All of the shares of Common Stock were purchased for investment
purposes only. The Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals with respect
to any of the matters set forth in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER
(a) As of the date hereof, Canpartners, CCM and Messrs. Evensen,
Friedman and Julis, acting as a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3)
of the Act, may be deemed to be a group beneficially owning, in the
aggregate, 2,618,133 shares of Common Stock which constitute approximately
23.4% of the 11,204,658 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30,
1998 (as reported in Whittaker's most recent quarterly statement on Form
10-Q). The figures above include 1,148,249 shares of Common Stock or
approximately 10.25% of the outstanding shares beneficially owned by VRF and
1,148,249 shares of Common Stock or approximately 10.25% of the outstanding
shares beneficially owned by CVRF.
(b) With respect to the shares acquired by VRF, VRF exercises both
voting and dispositive power and since VRF is ultimately controlled by
Canpartners, Canpartners exercises both voting and dispositive power with
respect to such shares. With respect to the shares acquired by CVRF, CVRF
exercises both voting and dispositive power and since the account of CVRF is
managed by CCM, the investments of which are ultimately controlled by
Canpartners, Canpartners exercises both voting and dispositive power with
respect to such shares. Canpartners is, in turn, controlled by Messrs.
Evensen, Friedman, and Julis and each of these Reporting Persons therefore
shares both voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common
Stock acquired by VRF and CVRF. Except as set forth in this Item 5(b), none
of the Reporting Persons has voting or dispositive power over another
Reporting Person's share of Common Stock.
