INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Committee for the Administration of the
 Rohr, Inc. Savings Plans:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of
The Pretax Savings Plan for the Salaried Employees of Rohr, Inc. (the "Plan") as
of July 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the assets available for benefits of The Pretax Savings Plan for
the Salaried Employees of Rohr, Inc. as of July 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and of series of reportable transactions are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by
the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental
information by fund in the statements of changes in assets available for
benefits is presented for the purpose of additional analysis rather than to
present the changes in assets available for benefits of the individual funds.
The supplemental schedules and supplemental information by fund are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such supplemental schedules and
supplemental information by fund have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

THE PRETAX SAVINGS PLAN FOR THE SALARIED
EMPLOYEES OF ROHR, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 1996 AND 1995
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The following description of The Pretax Savings Plan for the Salaried
     Employees of Rohr, Inc. (the "Plan") is provided for general information
     purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more
     complete information.

     GENERAL - The Plan is a defined contribution 401(k) plan, first made
     effective January 1, 1966, and restated, 1994.  It is subject to
     the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     ("ERISA").  

     Effective August 1, 1983, the Plan was amended and restated to incorporate
     the requirements for a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of
     the Internal Revenue Code and redesignated as The Pretax Savings Plan for
     the Salaried Employees of Rohr, Inc.

     Effective December 1, 1994, all Rohr, Inc. Salaried Employee Stock 
     Ownership (ESOP) investment balances were merged into the Plan.

     Effective January 19, 1995, all HTA Savings Plan investment balances were 
     merged into the Plan.

     PURPOSE OF THE PLAN - The purposes of the Plan are to provide Eligible
     Employees with the opportunity to accumulate personal savings on a pretax
     and post tax basis with the assistance of Rohr, Inc. (the "Company") and to
     permit Participants to direct investment of their savings among a broad
     spectrum of investment funds, including a Rohr, Inc. stock fund, which
     shall be held for their benefit in the Plan.

     PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN - Employees of the Company are eligible to
     participate in the Plan upon hire and part-time or temporary employees may
     participate if they work more than 1,000 hours per year. Employees need not
     be represented by a labor organization to be eligible. Prior to December 1,
     1994, employees of the Company were eligible to participate in the Plan if
     they: (1) were actively employed on the last business day of the Plan year
     in which they were employed and (2) were represented by a labor
     organization which had signed an agreement making this Plan applicable to
     such person or (3) were not represented by a labor organization or (4) were
     temporary employees who had worked 1,000 hours or more during the plan
     year.

     CONTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE PLAN - Participants may make pretax or post tax
     contributions up to 17% of their gross pay. Contributions by highly-
     compensated employees are limited to 11% of their qualified gross pay. The
     Company contributes to each participating employee's account an amount
     equal to 75% of the first 4% of pre-tax savings. Prior to December 1, 1994,
     employees contributed up to 18% of their compensation into the Plan through
     payroll deductions. The Company contributed to each participating
     employee's account, an amount equal to 25% of the first 5% of the
     participant's contribution, not to exceed 1-1/4% of the participant's
     annual compensation. The maximum employee contributions (which are limited
     by Internal Revenue Service regulations) for calendar years 1996 and 1995
     were $9,500 and $9,240, respectively.

                                      -7-

     VESTING PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN -- Employees who became participants after
     January 1, 1995 cumulatively vest 20% in the Company's contributions for
     each year in which they work 1,000 hours. Participants who were active on
     January 1, 1995 are 100% vested.

     WITHDRAWALS UNDER THE PLAN -- Under the Plan, a participating employee or
     his legal successors will be entitled to a cash distribution of the vested
     value of the investments held in his or her account upon retirement, death,
     entry into the armed forces, permanent and total disability, layoffs or any
     other reason. Participants separating from service have the option of
     deferring distribution of savings until age 70-1/2. Participants may elect
     to have Rohr Stock Fund distributions paid in shares, with residual amounts
     (fractional shares) paid in cash. After December 1, 1994 distributions are
     paid in cash unless stock is requested.

     A participant may withdraw, not more than once each Plan year, an amount
     equal to all or a portion of the value of the investments held in the
     participant's account attributable to the participant's post tax and
     rollover contributions, and the value of the investments attributable to
     that portion of the Company's contributions that has become vested.

     Withdrawals by participants must be made of all withdrawal amounts in each
     available category below (listed in descending order) before amounts in the
     next following category may be withdrawn:

     1.  Participant Post Tax Contributions Account

     2.  Rollover Account; and 

     3.  Company Matching Account

     Prior to age 59-1/2 participants are allowed to make withdrawals from their
     pretax contributions made after July 31, 1983 on a hardship basis only,
     subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Plan.

     FORFEITURE OF INTEREST UNDER THE PLAN -- Upon a participant's separation
     from service, the portion of investments attributable to contributions made
     by the Company which have not vested shall remain in such accounts. Such
     nonvested amounts shall be forfeited on the date which is 60 consecutive
     months after separation from service or cash-out. If the participant is
     rehired before such forfeiture, the nonvested portion shall remain in the
     participant's account.

     All amounts forfeited under the Plan will remain in the Plan and will be
     applied against future contributions to the Plan by the Company.  If the
     Plan is terminated, any forfeited amounts not yet applied against Company
     contributions will accrue ratably to the remaining participants in the Plan
     at the date of termination.

     TERMINATION OF THE PLAN -- The Company expects the Plan to be permanent and
     continue indefinitely, but since future conditions affecting the Company

4.   PARTICIPANT LOANS RECEIVABLE

     Participant loans receivable consist of general purpose and principal
     residence loans. General purpose loans have terms ranging from 1 to 4-1/2
     years and provide fixed interest rates based upon federal short-term rates
     (5.88% and 5.81% at July 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively). Principal
     residence loans have terms ranging from 1 to 15 years and provide fixed
     interest rates based upon federal long-term rates (6.90% and 6.56% at July
     31, 1996 and 1995, respectively). Under either type of loan, employees may
     borrow up to 50% of the value of their vested account balance up to a
     maximum of $50,000. The minimum an employee may borrow is $500. In general,
     employee loans are payable in equal weekly or bi-weekly installments
     through payroll deductions and are secured by the participants interest in
     the Plan.
