                        Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Directors
- ----------------------
Houghton Mifflin Company


We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of D. C. Heath and
Company (a business unit of Raytheon Company) as of October 31, 1995 and
December 31, 1994, and the related combined statements of income and net worth,
and cash flows for the ten months ended October 31, 1995 and the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993.  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, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of D.C. Heath
and Company at October 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the combined results
of its operations and its cash flows for the ten months ended October 31, 1995
and the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, in 1995 the Company changed
its method of accounting for teachers' editions.

                    Notes to Combined Financial Statements


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The combined financial statements include the accounts of D. C. Heath and
Company and D.C. Heath Canada, LTD., (collectively the "Company").  D. C. Heath
and Company is a division of Raytheon Company (Raytheon) and D.C. Heath Canada,
LTD. is a subsidiary of Raytheon.  Amounts included for D.C. Heath Canada, LTD.
are not material to the combined amounts.  All material intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.  These statements include the historical
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that are directly related to the
Company's business, including expenses charged to the Company by Raytheon.  See
Note 3.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at cost (principally on a weighted average basis), but
not in excess of net realizable value.

As of January 1, 1995, the Company changed its method of accounting for
teachers' editions from expensing when purchased to capitalizing into inventory
and expensing upon delivery.  The Company believes including the cost of
teachers' editions in inventory provides better matching of costs with product
sales and is consistent with industry practice.  The effect of this change for
the ten months ended October 31, 1995 was to increase inventory by $4,908,000
and net income by $553,000, after provision for income taxes of $384,000.  The
pro forma effect of this change on prior years has been omitted as the Company
has concluded that it is not practicable to determine the effect.


PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.  Betterments and major
renewals are capitalized and included in property, plant and equipment
accounts, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals are
charged to expense.  When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the
assets and related allowances for depreciation and amortization are eliminated
from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.

Provisions for depreciation are computed generally on the
sum-of-the-years-digits method, except for certain assets which use the
straight-line or declining-balance method.  Depreciation provisions are based
on the estimated useful lives:  buildings--20 to 45 years; machinery and
equipment including production tooling--3 to 10 years; equipment


                                                                               5

leased to others--5 to 10 years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
lesser of the remaining life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the
improvement.

Included in property, plant and equipment is the Company's investment in book
plates, which includes the costs of all pre-press work through printing plates.
These external development costs are paid to vendors and suppliers and include
artwork, photo acquisition, typesetting, illustration, stripping and film
assembly, and composition. Such costs are capitalized as incurred and amortized
over five years, with amortization beginning in the month immediately following
capitalization.

INTANGIBLES AND OTHER ASSETS

Purchased publishing rights are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
estimated economic life of the titles or contracts, not to exceed 10 years.
The excess of cost over net assets acquired, or goodwill, is amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods that do not exceed 15 years.  The Company
continually evaluates the existence of goodwill impairment on the basis of
whether the goodwill is fully recoverable from projected, undiscounted net cash
flows of the related business unit.  Amortization expense was approximately
$886,000 for the ten months ended October 31, 1995, and $568,000 and $240,000
for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized upon shipment of goods to customers. Revenue is reported
in the financial statements as net sales, which is net of estimated returns and
selling commissions paid to book depositories and outside sales
representatives. The Company also pays commissions to internal sales
representatives under various compensation arrangements in return for services
rendered in connection with obtaining orders. Such commissions are charged to
expense.

BOOK RETURNS

A provision for future estimated book returns, consisting of the sales value
less related inventory value and royalty costs, is made at time of sale.





                                                                               6

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES

Throughout the periods presented herein, the Company's U.S. operations were
included in Raytheon's consolidated income tax returns.  The Company provides
deferred taxes for temporary differences in the recognition of income and
expense for financial reporting and tax accounting purposes.  Differences
relate principally to publishing expenses, depreciation, post retirement
benefits and allowance for book returns.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Company sells its products primarily to school districts, private and
parochial schools, colleges and universities, and bookstores.  The Company
performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for
potential credit losses, which have not been material to the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US
dollars at year end exchange rates.  Sales and expenses are translated into US
dollars using weighted average exchange rates for the period.  Gains and losses
on translation of financial statements of foreign entities, not significant in
amount, are included in net worth.                              

3.  SALE OF BUSINESS BY RAYTHEON

On October 31, 1995, Houghton Mifflin Company (Houghton) acquired certain
assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Company's business from Raytheon
for $455 million.  Raytheon has provided various administrative services to the
Company, including, but not limited to, payroll, employee benefits
administration, insurance administration, data processing, tax and legal
services, and treasury services.  In addition, the Company's employees
participated in various benefit plans sponsored by Raytheon.  The Company was
charged for these benefits on the same basis Raytheon charged its other
operating units, which varies depending on the type of services provided.


                                                                              7

5. WRITE SOURCE ACQUISITION

On July 1, 1994, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of the
Write Source business line.  The fixed portion of the purchase price was
approximately $10 million.  The Company is also required to make additional
contingent payments of $4 million and $2 million on January 1, 1996 and 1997,
respectively, based on the achievement of specified milestones for 1995 and
1996.  In the ten months ended October 31, 1995, the Company achieved the
required milestone and accrued the $4 million payment, resulting in an increase
to goodwill.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the
results of operations of Write Source are included with those of the Company
from July 1, 1994, the date of the acquisition.  The purchase price, including
payment for copyrights valued at approximately $1 million, resulted in an excess
of cost over net assets acquired of approximately $8.5 million.  The copyrights
are being amortized over 10 years and the goodwill is being amortized over its
expected remaining life of 15 years.  Pro forma results have not been presented
as they are not material to the Company's results of operations.

7.  PENSION AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company participated, through Raytheon, in several pension and retirement
plans covering the majority of its employees.  The principal plans covering
salaried and management employees provide pension benefits that are based on
the five highest consecutive years of the employee's compensation in the 10
years before retirement.  Plans covering hourly employees generally provide
benefits of stated amounts for each year of service.  The Company's funding
policy for the salaried plans is to contribute annually at a rate that is
intended to remain at a level percentage of compensation for the covered
employees.  The Company's funding policy on the hourly plan is to contribute
annually at a rate that is intended to remain level for the covered employees.
Unfunded prior service costs under the funding policy are generally amortized
over periods from 10 to 30 years.

Plan assets primarily include equity and fixed income securities.

The Company's salaried pension plan provides that in the event of a termination
of the plan within three years after involuntary change of control of the
Company, the assets of the plan will be applied to satisfy all liabilities to
participants and beneficiaries in accordance with Section 4044 of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  Any remaining assets, if any, will be
applied on a pro rata basis to increase the benefits to the participants and
beneficiaries.

In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company, through Raytheon,
provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees.
Substantially all of the Company's employees may become eligible for these
benefits, if they reach normal retirement age while working for the Company.
Retiree health plans are paid for in part by employee contributions, which are
adjusted annually.  Benefits are provided through various insurance companies
whose charges are based either on the benefits paid during the year or annual
premiums.  Health benefits are provided to retirees, their covered dependents,
and beneficiaries.  Retiree life insurance plans are non-contributory and
cover the retiree only.





                                                                             14

Prior to 1993, the Company, through Raytheon, recognized annual costs for
retiree medical coverage and the accrued costs for retiree life insurance on a
cash basis.  In 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Post Retirement Benefits Other
than Pensions, which requires recognition of an accumulated post retirement
benefit obligation for retiree costs existing at the time of implementation, as
well as incremental expense recognition for changes in the obligation
attributable to each successive fiscal year.  The Company has elected to
amortize the past service amount over the allowable 20 year period.  The
Company is funding the liability for a portion of its salaried and hourly
employees and plans to continue to do so.  The net post retirement benefit
expense for the Company included the following components:

Background Information
- ----------------------

On October 31, 1995, Houghton Mifflin Company ("Company") acquired certain
assets and assumed certain liabilities of D.C. Heath and Company ("Heath") from
Raytheon Company ("Raytheon") in a cash transaction. The total cost of the 
acquisition is estimated at $459 million, of which $455 million represents the 
contractual purchase amount and $4 million represents estimated professional 
and other fees directly related to the acquisition.

The Company financed $345 million of the acquisition with short-term bank debt.
The Company intends to refinance this debt with long-term debt securities to be
issued under a shelf registration. Accordingly, the Pro Forma Combined Balance
Sheet classifies the bank borrowings as long-term obligations.

Operating cash of $114 million was also applied to the acquisition.  The
September 30, 1995 historical balance sheet shows cash and marketable securities
of $110 million. As a result, the remaining $4 million is shown on the
Pro-Forma Combined Balance Sheet as short-term borrowings.  

Basis of Accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------

The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the results of
Heath will be included in the Company's operating results as of October 31,
1995, the date of acquisition. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet combines the audited
combined balance sheet of Heath at October 31, 1995 with the Company's
consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1995. The Pro Forma Combined
Income Statements assume that the acquisition occurred on January 1, 1994 and
January 1, 1995. Cost savings that may be recognized from the combination of the
Company and Heath are not included.

The intangible assets shown in the accompanying balance sheet as a result of
the acquisition amount to approximately $346 million and are being amortized 
over the expected life estimated at twenty years. The actual allocation of the
purchase price, including the allocation of intangibles to assets acquired, 
may be different from that reflected in the pro forma financial data.

This unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to be
indicative of the results which actually would have been obtained if the
acquisition had been effected on the date indicated or of those results which
may be obtained in the future.  The pro forma combined financial information 
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of
Houghton Mifflin Company included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K 
for the year ended December 31, 1994.
<PAGE>   2

The unaudited pro forma combined income statements do not include certain 
non-recurring charges which may result from the transaction and the integration
of Heath into the Company. The Company expects such items to be charged to
operations during the period ended December 31, 1995. Such charges include
integration expenses related to personnel, facilities, and assets. The
unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet does contain these adjustments.

Pro Forma Adjustments
