INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


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

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of
the Rohr, Inc. Savings Plan for Employees Covered by Collective Bargaining
Agreements as of July 31, 1997 and 1996, 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 Rohr, Inc. Savings Plan for
Employees Covered by Collective Bargaining Agreements as of July 31, 1997 and
1996, 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.

ROHR, INC. SAVINGS PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES COVERED
 BY COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 1997 AND 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

   The following description of the Rohr, Inc. Savings Plan for Employees
   Covered by Collective Bargaining Agreements (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 savings plan, first made
   effective January 1, 1966, and restated December 1, 1994.  It is subject to
   the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
   ("ERISA").  The purpose of the Plan is to provide a regular savings and
   investment program for eligible employees of Rohr, Inc. and its subsidiaries.


   PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN - Employees of Rohr, Inc. (the "Company") are
   eligible to participate in the Plan if they:  (1) are covered by a collective
   bargaining agreement specifying that they are to be covered by the Plan and
   (2) have completed 12 calendar months of employment.

   CONTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE PLAN - Upon enrollment in the Plan, each participant
   must elect to contribute certain dollar amounts, solely by payroll deductions
   made at each payroll date.  The amount which may be specified and deducted
   from an Employee's payroll for each two week period ranges from $10 to $140.

   Effective for the last payroll period commencing in either February or June
   1996, depending upon the bargaining unit of which the participant is a
   member, the Company will contribute an amount equal to fifty percent of the
   first $70 of the contribution made by each participant for any two-week
   period referred to above provided that the maximum Company contribution for
   any participant for any such two-week period shall be $35.  Prior to the
   payroll periods referred to above, the Company's contribution was 25% of the
   first $70 of each participant's contribution for any two-week period.
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company's aggregate contributions at any
   time will not exceed its then accumulated earnings and profits.  The
   participants cumulatively vest 20% in the Company's contributions for each 12
   months of service up to 100%.

   PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS - Fidelity, the Plan's asset manager, maintains an
   account for each participant.  The participants' accounts are credited for
   their contributions and the Company's contributions.  The accounts are
   further adjusted for Plan fees and investment income or losses.

   WITHDRAWALS UNDER THE PLAN - Under the Plan, a participating employee or his
   legal successors will be entitled to a distribution of the value of the
   investments held in his or her account upon retirement, death, entry into the
   armed forces, permanent and total disability, layoff, or termination for
   other reasons.  Upon termination of employment for any reason, participants
   have the option of deferring distribution of savings until the later of
   retirement or attainment of age 70-1/2.  Active employees must make a total
   withdrawal by April 1 following the calendar year they attain the age 70-1/2.

   Distribution of benefits are paid in cash, except for distributions from that
   portion of a participant's account which is allocated to the Rohr Stock Fund,
   which may be paid wholly or partly in Rohr, Inc. common stock shares at the
   Plan administrator's discretion.

                                      -5-

   A participant may voluntarily withdraw from the Plan but may not thereafter
   become a participant in the Plan again until 12 months have elapsed.  The
   amount distributable upon withdrawal includes the full value of the
   investments held in the withdrawing participant's account attributable to his
   own contributions and the value of the investments attributable to that
   portion of the Company's contributions that has become vested.

   A participant may also make a partial withdrawal of the amounts in his or her
   account under the Plan if such a partial withdrawal is approved by the Plan
   administrator as being required to relieve financial hardship caused by such
   matters as illness or disability of the participant or a dependent member of
   his or her immediate family or a situation beyond the participant's control
   involving serious financial loss.

   Only one partial withdrawal may be made during any six month period, and for
   six months after such partial withdrawal no further contributions may be made
   by the participant or the Company for his or her account.  Any partial
   withdrawal must be for at least $100, and any larger amount must be in added
   increments of $50.  Withdrawals can only be made from fully vested Company
   contributions or from participant contributions that have been in the Plan at
   least seventeen quarters.

   FORFEITURE OF INTEREST UNDER THE PLAN - The value of investments in each
   participant's account attributable to the participant's own contributions is
   not subject to forfeiture.  Any participant who voluntarily withdraws or
   whose employment is terminated for reasons other than retirement, layoff for
   four weeks or more, death, entry into the armed forces or permanent and total
   disability will forfeit that portion of the value of his account attributable
   to the Company's contributions in which no interest has vested.

   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 has the right to terminate the Plan at
   any time, except as provided in any applicable provision in a collective
   bargaining agreement whose term has not expired.  Upon termination of the
   Plan, the entire amount of each participant's account (including that portion
   of the account attributable to the Company's contributions which would not
   otherwise be vested) shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the
   accrual basis of accounting.

   INVESTMENT VALUATION - Plan investments are stated at fair value, as
   determined by valuing securities at either closing prices on national stock
   exchanges or at the average of bid and ask quotations for those securities
   traded in the over-the-counter market.

   PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - Benefits are recorded when paid.

3. INVESTMENT OPTIONS

   Under provisions of the Plan, participants may invest their savings in any
   combination of 25% increments in the following funds:

      THE FIDELITY RETIREMENT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO - A portfolio invested in
      short-term money market securities with maturities less than 90 days.

                                      -6-

      THE FIDELITY SHORT-TERM BOND PORTFOLIO - A portfolio invested primarily in
      investment grade debt securities.

      THE FIDELITY GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO - A portfolio invested in a
      combination of U.S. and foreign stocks and debt securities.

      THE ROHR STOCK FUND - A fund invested in the common stock of the Company.

4. TAX STATUS

   The Company has obtained a determination letter dated August 30, 1995 from
   the Internal Revenue Service indicating that the Plan meets the requirements
   of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and is exempt
   from Federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code.  Management
   believes the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with
   applicable requirements of the Code and that the Plan is qualified and the
   related trust is tax-exempt.
