ITEM 2.  DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         In February 1995, Daniel Industries, Inc. (the "Company") announced
that its Board of Directors approved and adopted a restructuring plan to
improve the Company's overall profitability through a greater focus on high
margin and market leading product lines, and cost reductions in overhead and
direct expenses.

         As part of the restructuring plan, the Company announced its intention
to divest identified non-core product lines.  On November 28, 1995, the net
assets of the fastener subsidiary, Daniel Industrial, Inc., were sold to an
investor group for $8,000,000 in cash and $9,500,000 in collaterized
subordinated notes, discounted to $8,600,000.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal
1995, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $10,587,000 on the divestitures
of non-core assets, primarily the fastener group.  This charge is not reflected
in the Company's pro forma consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        The accompanying Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the
nine months ended June 30, 1995 and the year ended September 30, 1994, and the
Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1995 are based on
historical  financial statements, adjusted to give effect to the divestiture of
the fastener business as though it had occurred at the beginning of each period
presented.  The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction
with the historical financial statements and related notes thereto.  The pro
forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results that
would have been attained had the divestiture occurred in an earlier period.
