                         Report of Independent Auditors


Board of Directors
Whittaker Corporation


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Xyplex, Inc. (the Company) as
of October 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of operations, changes
in stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year ended October 31, 1997 and
the period from April 10, 1996 to October 31, 1996. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Xyplex, Inc. at October 31,
1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
ended October 31, 1997 and the period from April 10, 1996 to October 31, 1996,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Xyplex, Inc. (the Company or Xyplex) designs, manufactures, markets and supports
data networking products. On April 10, 1996, Xyplex was acquired by Whittaker
Corporation (Whittaker) for total consideration of $116.5 million, and, during
the period from April 10, 1996 to January 13, 1997, Xyplex was a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Whittaker. Since January 13, 1997, the Company has been owned by
Whittaker Xyplex, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Whittaker. Pursuant to the
purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities acquired by Whittaker
were revalued to their fair value at the date of acquisition. As a result of the
transaction, the Company recorded intangible assets of $37.2 million and
goodwill of $62.8 million. Acquired in-process research and development valued
at $11.7 million was expensed at the acquisition date.

The accompanying historical financial statements represent the Company's results
of operations and its financial condition as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Whittaker. Interest expense associated with Whittaker's general corporate debt
has not been allocated to the Company's financial statements. Certain costs and
expenses presented in the financial statements represent intercompany
allocations and management's estimates of the costs of services provided to the
Company by Whittaker. During the first quarter of 1997, certain operations of
another subsidiary of Whittaker were integrated into the operations of the
Company. The financial statements of the Company for 1997 reflect the results of
operations and its financial position net of certain costs and balance sheet
amounts allocated to this integrated operation. (See Note 2 for further
discussion of allocations and amounts due to parent company.)

PARENT COMPANY INVESTMENT

The parent company investment account represents the net assets of the Company
and includes a $1.4 million dividend distribution in the form of a transfer of
assets to Whittaker in 1997.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles may require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that could affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual costs could differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes product revenue upon shipment of goods and software.
Maintenance and support fees greater than $10,000 are recognized ratably over
the life of the contract.

INVENTORY

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and
repairs are charged to expense, while the costs of significant improvements are
capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and
allocates the cost of these assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed and the related accumulated
depreciation are eliminated, and the related gains or losses are reflected in
income.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Until May of 1997, goodwill and other intangible assets were amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods of 20 years in the case of goodwill, 15 years
in the case of developed technologies and customer relations, and five years in
the case of other intangible assets. Beginning in May of 1997, the amortization
periods for goodwill and customer relations were reduced to seven years.

At October 31, 1997 and 1996, intangible assets consisted of the following (in
thousands):

</TABLE>

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

When indicators of impairment of long-lived assets used in operations or
long-lived assets to be disposed of are present, and the undiscounted future
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying
value of such assets, an impairment loss would be recorded by the Company (see
Note 3).

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. In accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, capitalization
of internally developed computer software costs begins upon the establishment of
technological feasibility. The Company believes that once a working model has
been established, the additional development costs to bring the product to a
commercially acceptable level are not significant. There were no software
development costs capitalized as of October 31, 1997 and 1996.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES

The Company records income taxes based on an asset and liability approach which
results in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and
tax bases of assets and liabilities. For purposes of these financial statements,
income taxes have been calculated as if Xyplex had prepared a tax return on a
stand-alone basis.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, effective for the 1999 fiscal year. SFAS
No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income
and its components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined
as the change in the equity of a business enterprise during a period from
transactions and other events from nonowner sources. The Company does not expect
the adoption of SFAS No. 130 will have a material effect on its financial
statements.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information, effective for the 1999 fiscal year. SFAS No.
131 requires the reporting of certain information about operating segments of a
business enterprise and supersedes SFAS No. 14, Financial Reporting for Segments
of a Business Enterprise, but retains the requirements to report information
about major customers. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 131
to have a material effect on its financial statements.

2.  ALLOCATED COSTS AND DUE TO PARENT COMPANY

The historical statements of operations include charges from Whittaker
representing the Company's share of the cost of support services provided. These
charges are allocations of allowable corporate expenses, as defined in the
Federal Acquisitions Regulation, associated with legal, marketing, management
and financial services. The basis of the allocation is the Company's relative
amount of payroll, sales and the year-to-date change in fixed assets and
inventory compared to Whittaker's consolidated balances for such amounts.

2.  ALLOCATED COSTS AND DUE TO PARENT COMPANY (CONTINUED)

Following the acquisition of the Company by Whittaker, the Company has
participated in the Whittaker cash management program. All of this cash
management activity is reflected in "due to parent company." Intercompany
activity also includes, among other things, allocations of corporate expenses,
state and federal income tax payments and credits, and insurance costs. An
analysis of due to parent company for the period from April 10, 1996 to October
31, 1997 is as follows (in thousands):

                                                 ========
</TABLE>

The average amount due to parent for the year ended October 31, 1997 and the
period from April 10, 1996 to October 31, 1996 was $6.3 million and $4.1
million, respectively.

During the first quarter of 1997, certain operations of Whittaker
Communications, Inc., another wholly-owned subsidiary of Whittaker formerly
located in Santa Clara, California, were integrated into the Company. The
results of operations and the financial position of the two operations are
segregated and reported separately. This segregation procedure involves the
allocation of certain costs and balance sheet amounts which cannot be directly
assigned to the appropriate operation.

Management of the Company believes the methods used to allocate the costs are
reasonable based on the Company's use of such services.

3.  IMPAIRMENT CHARGE

In connection with the April 1996 acquisition of the Company by Whittaker,
goodwill and other intangible assets of $62.8 million and $37.2 million,
respectively, were recorded. These assets were being amortized, on a
straight-line basis, over periods of 20 years in the case of goodwill and five
to 15 years in the case of other intangible assets. During the third quarter of
1997, the Company reduced the amortization periods for goodwill and certain
other intangible assets from 20 and 15 years, respectively, to seven years. This
adjustment resulted in an $8.1 million goodwill and other intangible asset
impairment charge which represents the increased amortization from the date of
acquisition to the beginning of the third quarter of 1997. As a result of the
Company's declining revenues and continued operating losses in 1997, an
additional goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charge of $55.1
million was recorded by the Company in the fourth quarter of 1997. The fair
value of these assets was based on the estimated value of consideration offered
to Whittaker by a third party in November 1997 for the sale of the Company.

13.  EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO DATE OF REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

On January 30, 1998, Whittaker sold all of the common stock of its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Whittaker Xyplex, Inc., which, since January 13, 1997, has been the
parent company of Xyplex, Inc., to MRV Communications, Inc. (MRV) for $35
million in cash plus warrants to purchase 421,402 shares of common stock of MRV.

under Whittaker's bank credit agreement were released, and the Company's
guarantee of such obligations was canceled.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
Raytheon Company:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Xyplex, Inc. as of April 9,
1996, and the related statements of loss, parent company investment and cash
flows for the period January 1, 1996 through April 9, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1, interest expense associated with Raytheon Company's
general corporate debt bas not been allocated to Xyplex, Inc.'s financial
statements. Also as discussed in Note 1, Xyplex, Inc. has earned interest income
primarily on its intercompany receivable from Raytheon based on an agreed-upon
rate. As discussed in Note 2, certain costs and expenses presented in the
financial statements represent allocations of the costs of services provided to
Xyplex, Inc. by Raytheon Company. As a result of these factors, the financial
statements presented may not be indicative of the financial position or results
of operations that would have been achieved had Xyplex, Inc. operated as a
nonaffiliated entity.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Xyplex, Inc. as of April 9,
1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period
January 1, 1996 through April 9, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

        BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        Xyplex, Inc. (the "Company" or "Xyplex") designs, manufactures, markets
        and supports data networks. On October 7, 1994, Xyplex was acquired by
        Raytheon Company ("Raytheon") for total consideration of $186,000,000.
        Pursuant to the purchase method of accounting, the assets and
        liabilities acquired by Raytheon were revalued to their fair value. The
        excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets
        acquired was approximately $125,000,000 and accordingly, goodwill and
        the parent company investment were increased by $125,000,000. Effective
        on the close of business on April 9, 1996, Xyplex was acquired by
        Whittaker Corporation.

        The accompanying historical financial statements present the Company's
        results of operations and its financial condition as a wholly-owned
        subsidiary of Raytheon from January 1, 1996 through April 9, 1996.
        Interest expense associated with Raytheon's general corporate debt has
        not been allocated to the Company's financial statements. Certain costs
        and expenses presented in the financial statements represent
        intercompany allocations and management's estimates of the costs of
        services provided to the Company by Raytheon. (See Note 2 for further
        discussion of allocations.) Additionally, as discussed in further detail
        below, Xyplex earned interest income primarily on its intercompany
        receivable from Raytheon based on an agreed-upon rate. As a result of
        these factors, the financial statements presented may not be indicative
        of the results that would have been achieved had the Company operated as
        a non-affiliated entity.

        The Company has had transactions in the normal course of business with
        Raytheon and its subsidiaries. Revenues from these transactions,
        totaling $142,000 for the period ended April 9, 1996, are in accordance
        with Xyplex's normal terms and conditions. The remaining receivables
        from these transactions with Raytheon are included in trade accounts
        receivable and totaled $26,000 as of April 9, 1996.

        Additionally, Xyplex transferred a substantial amount of its cash and
        investments to Raytheon upon the acquisition date and has subsequently
        participated in the Raytheon cash management program. All of this cash
        management activity is recorded in the receivable from parent company
        account. Intercompany activity also includes allocations of corporate
        expenses, state and federal income tax payments and credits, and
        interest earned on the intercompany receivable balance itself. Interest
        is earned on the intercompany receivable balance at a rate of 6.50% in
        1996 and totaled approximately $698,000 for the period ended April 9,
        1996.

        PARENT COMPANY INVESTMENT

        The parent company investment account represents the net assets of the
        company. As described above, this account was credited with the excess
        of the purchase price over the fair value of Xyplex's net assets at the
        time of Raytheon's purchase.

        USE OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
        accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
        assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities
        and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
        financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
        during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
        estimates.

        CASH EQUIVALENTS

        Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original
        maturities of ninety days or less at the time of acquisition. Under the
        Company's cash management system with Raytheon, checks issued but not
        presented to banks frequently result in overdraft balances for
        accounting purposes. The Company has determined the net overdraft
        balance by bank and has correspondingly reclassified these amounts to
        Accounts Payable.

        REVENUE RECOGNITION

        The Company recognizes product revenue upon shipment of goods and
        software. Maintenance and support fees greater than $10,000 are
        recognized ratably over the life of the contract. A provision is made at
        the time of shipment for estimated warranty costs to be incurred.

        INVENTORY

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method)
        or market.

        PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

        Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for
        maintenance and repairs are charged to expense while the costs of
        significant improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using
        the straight-line and accelerated methods in amounts that allocate the
        cost of these assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:

         Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed and the related
         accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the related gains or losses
         are reflected in income.

        INTANGIBLES

        Goodwill, which represents the amount Raytheon incurred in excess of the
        fair value of the net assets of Xyplex on the date of purchase, is
        amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 15 years. For the
        period ended April 9, 1996, the Company incurred amortization expense
        related to this asset of $2,267,000. Accumulated amortization related to
        goodwill totaled $42,018,000 as of April 9, 1996.

        Other intangible assets, consisting primarily of licenses, are included
        in other assets. These assets are amortized over a one to three year
        period based on net realizable value. For the period ended April 9,
        1996, the Company incurred amortization expense of $60,000. Accumulated
        amortization related to these other assets totaled $684,000 as of April
        9, 1996.

        The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its intangible
        assets as well as the amortization periods to determine whether current
        events and circumstances warrant adjustment to the carrying values or
        estimated useful lives. At each balance sheet date, management evaluates
        the carrying value of intangible assets to determine whether there has
        been any permanent impairment. No such adjustments were made for the
        period ended April 9, 1996.

        RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

        Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. In
        accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
        86, capitalization of internally developed computer software costs
        begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The Company
        believes that once a working model has been established, the additional
        development costs to bring the product to a commercially acceptable
        level are not significant. There were no software development costs
        capitalized as of April 9, 1996.

        INCOME TAXES

        The Company records income taxes based on an asset and liability
        approach which results in the recognition of deferred tax assets and
        liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
        differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
        For purposes of these financial statements, income taxes have been
        calculated as if Xyplex had prepared a tax return on a stand alone
        basis.

        In accordance with Raytheon's policy, all state and local taxes have
        been included in general and administrative expenses.


2.      ALLOCATED COSTS:

        The historical statements of operations include charges from Raytheon
        representing the Company's share of the cost of support services
        provided. These charges are allocations of corporate expenses associated
        with legal, marketing, management, financial and facilities management
        services. The

        basis of the allocation is dependent on the functions and includes net
        sales, square feet occupied, and percentage share of all other corporate
        assessments. For these services, the Company was charged $100,000 for
        the period ended April 9, 1996.

        Management believes the methods used to allocate the costs are
        reasonable based on the company's use of such facilities and services.

3.      INVENTORY:

        Inventories consist of the following at April 9, 1996:

6.      401(k) RETIREMENT PLAN:

        The Company had a 401(k) retirement plan covering all employees who are
        regularly scheduled to work 1,000 or more hours of service per year.
        Participants may elect to defer up to 15% of their compensation for
        deposit under the plan, subject to certain IRS limitations. The Company
        may elect to make contributions to the plan. The contributions are
        allocated to each eligible participant's account in proportion to each
        participant's deferrals for the plan year, subject to IRS limitations;
        participants' deferrals in excess of 6% of compensation are not matched.
        The Company elected to make contributions of $124,000 to the plan for
        the period ended April 9, 1996.

9.      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS:

        During 1995, Raytheon and Xyplex provided strategic resolution bonuses
        to key employees. These bonuses, totaling approximately $1,500,000, were
        due and payable on March 1, 1996 for each employee who continued to be
        an employee on March 1, 1996. Of the $1,500,000 charge, approximately
        $250,000 was funded by Xyplex with the remainder funded by Raytheon.

        Also during 1995, Raytheon entered into employment agreements with
        certain key employees of the Company which provide for salary
        continuation of up to 12 months in the event of termination of
        employment without cause. The aggregate commitment under these
        employment agreements should all covered employees be terminated is
        approximately $1,500,000.

              UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect
to the Acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. The unaudited pro
forma consolidated financial statements are based on the historical consolidated
financial statements and notes there to (as applicable) of MRV Communications,
Inc. (MRV), which are included in MRV's Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1997, and the historical financial statements and notes thereto (as
applicable) of Xyplex Inc. (Xyplex) which are included elsewhere herein. The
unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet assumes that the Acquisition took
place on January 1, 1997 and consolidates MRV's December 31, 1997 consolidated
balance sheet with Xyplex's October 31, 1997 balance sheet. The unaudited pro
forma consolidated statement of income assumes that the Acquisition took place
as of January 1, 1997 and consolidates MRV's consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 with Xyplex's statement of
operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on the
estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to such statements. The pro
forma adjustments made in connection with the development of the pro forma
information are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing
such pro forma information for illustrative purposes necessary to comply with
the disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The 
unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to be 
indicative of the results of operations for future periods or the consolidated
financial position or the results that actually would have been realized had the
entities been consolidated during the period. The pro forma adjustments and 
purchase price allocations are preliminary estimates only and are subject to 
change. In connection with the Acquisition, MRV expects to restructure certain 
operations. The restructure is expected to include closing of certain 
facilities, reductions in workforce and settlement of distribution agreements. 
The pro forma adjustments and financial statements do not include any amounts 
related to the restructure of operations due to the Xyplex acquisition.

MRV estimates that it will incur direct transaction costs of approximately
$2,500,000 associated with the Acquisition. The purchase price also includes
$7,000,000 as the fair value of certain warrants given to the seller. The
warrants were valued using the Black Scholes method.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the
related notes thereto of MRV, which are included in MRV's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997, and the historical financial statements and the
related notes thereto of Xyplex, which are included elsewhere herein.

(2)               In the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, Xyplex recorded an
                  impairment loss of $63,172,000 related to goodwill. This pro
                  forma adjustment reflects results as if the write-off was
                  recorded prior to November 1, 1996.

(3)               To record the amortization of $9,500,000 of goodwill over 7
                  years or approximately $1,350,000 per year.

(4)               To reduce interest income by $1,925,000 to reflect use of
                  investments of $35,000,000 to fund purchase price, assumes 5.5
                  percent return on investments.

(5)               After the above pro forma adjustments the income (loss) before
                  provision for income tax was a pro forma loss of $29,397,000.
                  This adjustment reflects the recording of a tax benefit for
                  this at an estimated effective rate of 30 percent or
                  $10,385,000.

(6)               The net effect on 1997 income of the pro forma adjustments is
                  $39,782,000. The net effect on retained earnings (deficit) is
                  $(23,390,000), as $63,172,000 of the adjustments to the
                  operations were to move expense from 1997 to earlier periods.
