                       Report of Indepedent Auditors


Compensation Committee
  of the Board of Directors
Thiokol Corporation


We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for
benefits of the Retirement  Savings and Investment  Plan for Space Services
Unit Employees of Thiokol  Corporation and Huck  International,  Inc. as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994,  and the related  statements  of changes in net
assets  available  for 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 benefits of the Plan
at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets  available
for  benefits  for the years  then  ended,  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General:
- --------

     All  investments  of the Thiokol  Corporation  Retirement  Savings and
Investment  Plan for Space Services Unit  Employees of Thiokol  Corporation
and Huck International, Inc. (the Plan) are held by the Thiokol Corporation
Master  Savings  Trust (the  Trust).  The Trust  invests the assets of four
employee  retirement  savings and investment  plans and one pension plan of
Thiokol Corporation (the Company). The Northern Trust Company (the Trustee)
is custodian of the Trust's investments.

Effective January 1, 1995, the Company enhanced the Plan by converting to a
daily valuation  system and expanding the investment fund choices by adding
three new funds: the Balanced Fund, the International  Equity Fund, and the
Aggressive  Equity Fund. See Note C for a description of the seven funds in
which the assets of the Plan are invested.

Under the daily valuation system, a Net Asset Value (NAV) is computed daily
for each fund based on the  current  fair value of the  fund's  assets.  On
January  1,  1995,  the NAV of each  fund  was  established  at  $10.00.  A
participant's fund balance is computed by multiplying the NAV by the number
of units owned.

The Company's and participants' contributions,  loans made to participants,
repayments received from participants,  and benefit payments or withdrawals
are  specifically  identified for each plan.  Income (loss) is allocated to
the various  plans based upon each plan's  proportionate  share of the fair
value of the Trust's  assets  related to that  income.  Asset values in the
Plan reflect the deduction of brokerage  commissions,  related  transaction
costs and other fees  assessed by the various  investment  managers.  Costs
incurred by the Plan to administer the daily valuation system are allocated
daily to each  investment  fund as a reduction of the NAV at an annual rate
of fifteen one hundreths of one percent.  All other Plan administrative and
general expenses are paid by the Company.

Reclassification:
- -----------------

Certain  reclassifications  were made to the 1994  financial  statements to
conform with the 1995 presentation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Investments:
- ------------

There are seven  investment  options and one employee loan option under the
Plan.  Investment  options  are:  the Fixed  Return  Fund,  the  Government
Securities   Fund,   the  Balanced   Fund,   the  Equity  Index  Fund,  the
International  Equity Fund,  the  Aggressive  Equity Fund,  and the Company
Stock  Fund.  Investment  managers  for  each  fund  are  appointed  by the
Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

Investments  in the stock of the Company are  recorded at fair market value
as determined by the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange.

The  investment  managers  for the Equity  Index,  Balanced,  International
Equity,  and Aggressive  Equity funds provide the composite  value of their
respective  funds  on  a  daily  basis  to  the  Trustee  based  upon  each
investment's  closing  price from the  appropriate  exchange or closing bid
prices from investment brokerage firms.

The Fixed Return and Government Securities Contracts are valued at contract
value,  which represents  periodic deposit amounts net of funds used to pay
participants' withdrawals, plus credited interest at the contract rate. The
interest   rate  for  each   contract  is  reviewed  and  may  be  adjusted
semi-annually  to reflect current  interest rates. The stated interest rate
has  been   adjusted   for   estimated   contract   transaction   and  plan
administration costs.

Funds  may  be  invested  on a  temporary  basis  in  common  trust  funds.
Participation  units  in  common  trust  funds,  comprised  exclusively  of
short-term  investments,  are  valued  at par  value,  which  is  equal  to
redemption value.

Gain or loss on the sale of Plan  assets  is  determined  by  utilizing  an
historical  average unit cost of  investments.  Unrealized  appreciation or
depreciation is determined by the change in fair value for the twelve-month
period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE B - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Plan is a  defined-contribution  401(k)  plan  established  to  provide
eligible  employees  with an  incentive  to  make  systematic  savings  for
retirement from current income through payroll deductions and to provide an
opportunity  to acquire an equity  interest  in the Company or to invest in
one of the other  six  investment  choices.  All Huck  International,  Inc.
employees except Kingston bargaining employees, are eligible to participate
in the Plan. During the year all operations ceased at the Iuka, Mississippi
Nozzle  facility and the Space  Services Unit of the Company.  There are no
longer any active  employees from these two locations  participating in the
Plan, though some former employees have balances in the Plan.

Participation in the Plan is voluntary. Participants may make contributions
to the Plan for any whole  percentage  up to a  maximum  of 17% of base pay
subject to  limitations  imposed by Federal  Tax  Regulations.  The Company
contributes an amount equal to 50% of the participants'  base pay up to 8%,
adjusted  for  any  current   forfeitures   and   reinstatement   of  prior
forfeitures.

Company   contributions   are  allocated  among  the  investment  funds  in
accordance  with the  participants'  elections.  Participants  may transfer
amounts   from  one   investment   fund  to  another   subject  to  certain
restrictions.

Information about the Plan's vesting and benefit provisions is contained in
the booklet  entitled  Your  Employee  Benefits and is  available  from the
Company's human resources department.

Active participants may obtain loans from the Plan. The maximum loan amount
is  subject  to  certain  restrictions  and  each  loan is  secured  by the
participant's  account balance. The interest charged on loans is based upon
rates  as  determined  by the  Plan  Administration  Committee  subject  to
Department of Labor regulations.

The Company has the right to terminate,  amend,  modify or suspend the Plan
at any time. In the event the Plan is  terminated,  the entire value of the
investment   funds   shall  be  applied  for  the   exclusive   benefit  of
participants,  and no part of the funds will  revert to the  Company.  Upon
termination  of the Plan,  the Company will have no  obligation to continue
making contributions to the Plan.

NOTE C - INVESTMENTS

A description of the investment funds follows:

Fixed Return Fund:
- ------------------

This fund is in the  custody of and  managed by  Connecticut  General  Life
Insurance  Company,  under a group annuity  contract issued to the Trustee,
which provides for a fixed rate of return. The stated annual rate of return
was 5.10% and 5.50% for the first and second  halves of 1995  respectively,
and 6.25%  for all of 1994.  The  average  yield for the fund was 5.30% and
6.25% for 1995 and 1994  respectively.  The majority of Fund assets consist
of intermediate-term investment grade corporate bonds.

Government Securities Fund:
- ---------------------------

This fund is in the custody of and managed by  Metropolitan  Life Insurance
Company   under  a  group   annuity   contract.   The   fund   invests   in
intermediate-term United States Government and Government National Mortgage
Association  fixed income securities backed by the full faith and credit of
the United States Treasury and in other highly rated short-term securities.
The  effective  annual rate of return was 4.60% and 5.00% for the first and
second halves of 1995 respectively,  and 5.75% for all of 1994. The average
yield for the fund was 4.80% and 5.75% for 1995 and 1994 respectively.

Balanced Fund:
- --------------

This fund is managed by the  investment  management  firm of Dodge and Cox.
The  fund is  invested  in both  common  stocks  and  bonds.  The  value of
investments  can fluctuate due to general stock and bond market  conditions
as well as the  performance of the individual  securities in which the fund
is  invested.  Investments  in any  single  stock or bond  issue,  with the
exception of United States government  securities,  are seldom in excess of
2% of total fund assets.

NOTE C - INVESTMENTS (Continued)

Equity Index Fund:
- ------------------

This fund is in the custody of and managed by the  Bankers  Trust  Company.
The fund is invested primarily in common stocks and securities  convertible
into common stocks and in other similar types of equity  investments  which
closely mirror the Standard and Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index. The
value of investments  can fluctuate due to general stock market  conditions
and  the  performance  of the  individual  securities  which  comprise  the
Standard and Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.

On November 28, 1994 at the Company's  request,  Banker's Trust transferred
the Plan's  assets from one S&P 500 index fund to a different S&P 500 index
fund, both of which are managed by Banker's Trust. This transfer  permitted
a change  from a monthly to a daily  valuation  system.  As a result of the
transfer,  the previous fund  realized a net gain of $105,590,  and the new
fund  recognized a realized gain of $32,636  resulting in a total  realized
gain of $138,226 for the year (See Note D).

International Equity Fund:
- --------------------------

This fund is  managed  by the  investment  management  firm of Rowe Price -
Fleming International. This fund is broadly diversified by investing in the
equity securities of established foreign companies.  Generally this fund is
invested in over 300 stocks in more than 25 countries. This fund may invest
in corporate and government  debt  securities,  futures,  options and enter
into forward foreign currency exchange contracts.  The fund is managed on a
team basis by several  portfolio  managers that are each  responsible for a
geographic  region.  The portfolio  managers are supported by more than 100
financial analysts.  The value of this fund fluctuates with world stock and
currency market conditions and the performance of the individual securities
in the fund.

Aggressive Equity Fund:
- -----------------------

This fund is managed by the investment management firm of Target Investors,
Inc. This fund is invested in the common stocks of small,  rapidly  growing
companies.  A small growth company is one which is still in the early state
of its  life  cycle,  yet has  demonstrated,  or is  expected  to  achieve,
long-term earnings growth. Investments in any single stock rarely exceed 4%
of total fund assets. The value of investments can fluctuate due to general
stock market conditions and the performance of the individual securities in
the fund.

Thiokol Corporation Stock Fund:
- -------------------------------

This fund is in the  custody of The  Northern  Trust  Company.  The fund is
invested  primarily in Thiokol  Corporation  common stock.  Its performance
depends  primarily  upon the  performance of the Company's  stock.  As with
other  stocks,   the  market  value  of  this  stock  can  fluctuate,   and
participants'  investments  in this fund can increase or decrease in value.
Prior to the Plan being on a daily valuation system, the unit value used to
determine a participant's account balance was shares of Company stock. With
the  conversion to a daily  valuation  system,  the NAV is the unit used to
determine a participant's account balance.
