NOTE C - Additional Information

            For a more adequate understanding of the company's financial
position, operating results, business properties and other matters, reference
is made to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in March 1994.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
            Results of Operations

(1)         MATERIAL CHANGES IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION:

            The Company's liquidity decreased during the first half of 1994 as
compared with its position at December 31, 1993.

Working capital decreased from $307.8 million at the end of last year to $281.7
million at June 30, 1994.  The $26.1 million decrease reflects positive cash
flow during the quarter net of $143.6 million paid for acquisitions.
<PAGE>   7
As a result of acquisition expenditures, Dover Corporation ended the quarter
with net debt (defined as long-term debt plus current maturities on long-term
debt plus notes payable less cash and equivalents) of $408 million representing
30% of total capital.

(2)         MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

            The Company earned $.92 per share in the Second Quarter ended June
30, a record level for any quarter and 31% higher than the $.70 earned  in the
Second Quarter of 1993.  Sales advanced 28% to $761,224,000 while net income
rose 32% to $52,440,000.

Following a First Quarter in which EPS advanced 25%, these results put Dover's
EPS for the First Half at $1.66, up 29% from prior year.  Six months' earnings
were $95,013,000 on sales of $1,441,951,000.  Net margin for the half was 6.6%
and annualized return on equity, based on average First Half equity, was 21%.

All five of Dover's market segments achieved sales and earnings gains in the
Second Quarter with increases ranging from modest to more than double.

DOVER RESOURCES

Dover Resources' profits increased 17% on a 9% sales gain. About 4 points of
the sales gain and 6 points of the earnings gain reflect the acquisition of
Midland Manufacturing, acquired earlier this year, with the balance coming from
internal growth.  Strong performances by De-Sta-Co, Ronningen Petter, Petro
Vend and Midland offset several declines as only half of DRI's 16 companies
showed earnings gains for the quarter.  Three businesses serving the oil
production industry had a combined profit decline of almost 50%, primarily due
to lower demand for sucker rods.  OPW-Fueling Components, whose strong results
were key to DRI's success in 1993, continued to achieve sales and earnings
gains as demand for vapor recovery products has remained strong.

DOVER INDUSTRIES

Dover Industries' profits grew 51% on a 75% sales gain reflecting both strong
internal growth and acquisitions made in 1993.  Ten of Industries' twelve
companies achieved earnings gains, with seven more than 25% ahead.  Heil had a
record quarter with continued strength in its trailerized tank business and
improvement in its refuse truck line.  Heil's bookings continued very strong
with a Second Quarter book-to-bill of 1.19 despite record shipments.  Other
companies with operating gains exceeding 25% were Rotary Lift, Bernard,
Dieterich Standard, Texas Hydraulics and Davenport while Tipper Tie also
reached this level with the help of their acquisition of Technopak at the start
of the quarter.  Integration of Technopak and Tipper-Tie Europa is proceeding
well.  Bookings at every Industries' company exceeded last year in the Second
Quarter with the total up 21%, adjusted for acquisitions.

DOVER ELEVATOR INTERNATIONAL

Dover Elevator International achieved a 5% earnings gain on a 3% sales
increase. Profit comparisons were adversely affected by a disappointing
performance at General Elevator which specializes in maintenance of non-Dover
elevators and in modernization.  A new company president has been appointed.
Most other DEI companies showed gains with particularly strong results at U.S.
Elevator, the largest company in the segment, reflecting continued success of
its margin improvement strategy.  Bookings for DEI were 7% below last year's
Second Quarter in a depressed market.  Backlog for new elevators is 11% below
last year but service revenues continue to show modest increases.

<PAGE>   8
DOVER TECHNOLOGIES

Dover Technologies' profit grew by 44% (by 56% if prior year is adjusted for
the spin-off of DOVatron) on a 20% sales gain (38% adjusted for the spin-off).
All of the earnings gain was achieved in production equipment for printed
circuit board assembly-- notably at Universal Instruments--as sales and
earnings of the three component companies were essentially flat with last year.
Universal improved its profits by 80% on a 51% sales gain as it continued to
benefit from a cyclical recovery in its industry and from market share gains
for both thru-hole and surface mount equipment.  Customer feed back on the new
GSM-1 surface mount machine continued favorable and margins on this important
product line improved due to cost reduction.  Universal's bookings, though 40%
ahead of last year, were even with Second Quarter shipments which set a record.
Dover Technologies' overall bookings were up 32% for the quarter (adjusted for
the spin-off) and flat with sales.

DOVER DIVERSIFIED

Dover Diversified's earnings were more than double the prior year's on sales
94% higher, primarily reflecting the impact of 3 acquisitions made in the
Second Half of 1993.  These companies--Belvac, Phoenix Refrigeration and
Thermal Equipment-- added $6.8 million to segment profits or 86 points of the
122% profit gain.  Their own operating results were somewhat lower than last
year as a major gain at Belvac (can-making machinery) could not offset
disappointing results at Thermal Equipment (autoclaves and cleaning equipment).
Tranter, A-C Compressor, Waukesha and the Sargent Controls/Aerospace companies
all showed operating earnings gains in excess of 20%, with Tranter's reported
gain larger due to the  acquisition of HTT in the First Quarter and of Re-Heat
and Koolrad during this quarter.  Dover Diversified's bookings were up 20% from
last year (adjusted for acquisitions) and represented a book-to- bill of 1.16.
Bookings were extremely strong at Belvac.  A-C Compressor showed the only
meaningful bookings decline from 1993 which A-C expects to make up in the
Second Half of the year.

OTHER MATTERS

During the Second Quarter, Dover purchased four companies for an investment of
$35 million bringing six-month 1994 acquisition investment to $150 million
(considering cash and debt acquired).  ReHeat and Koolrad were added by Tranter
(Dover Diversified) and Tarby by Blackmer (Dover Resources) while TNI (a
leading manufacturer of speciality transformers) became a "stand alone" company
within Dover Technologies.  Due to acquisition-related write-offs and financing
costs, all 1994 acquisitions combined added less than $.01 to Dover's reported
1994 earnings per share despite average operating margins in excess of 20%
achieved so far this year by the acquired companies.  The substantial ($321
million investment) acquisition program of 1993 made a significant contribution
to Dover's First Half profit adding an estimated $.20 per share (after
acquisition write-offs and financing costs), of which $.11 was in the Second
Quarter.

OUTLOOK

Dover believes that in the current business climate it is reasonable to expect
that Second Half earnings will be higher than in the First Half, leading to
record 1994 earnings by a substantial margin.  However, the Second Quarter is
normally a seasonally strong one and it is possible this could prove to be
Dover's best quarter in 1994.  Barring an economic downturn, Dover's growth
should continue in 1995.
