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 form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in March 1995.

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 increased during the first half of 1995 as
compared to the position at December 31, 1994.

       Working capital increased from $360.9 million at the end of last year to
$386.9 million at June 30, 1995. The $26.2 million increase represents positive
cash flow over and above the $98.7 million paid for acquisitions during this six
month period.

       At June 30, 1995, net debt (defined as long-term debt plus current
maturities on long-term debt plus notes payable less cash and equivalents and
marketable securities) of $441 million representing 28% of total capital.

         During the second quarter Dover invested $83 million buying 3
companies--Hasstech (now part of OPW Fueling Components in Dover Resources),
Mark Andy (a stand alone company within Dover Diversified), and the Frequency
Control Products division of AT&T, which is being combined with the Vectron
company in Dover Technologies. This brings Dover's 1995 acquisition investment
to $99 million with further investment, possibly of greater magnitude,
anticipated during the balance of the year. Dover repurchased no common stock
during the second quarter.

<PAGE>   7

(2)      MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

         The Company earned $1.39 per share in its second quarter ended June 30,
an increase of 51% from last year. Sales of $948 million were 25% ahead of last
year. Both sales and earnings established new quarterly records.

         Profit improved at each of Dover's five Independent Subsidiaries by
amounts ranging from 9% at Dover Resources to 111% at Dover Technologies. These
strong results brought first half EPS to $2.45, up 48% from the previous year.

DOVER RESOURCES

         Profits at Dover Resources advanced 9% compared to prior year following
a 27% growth in the first quarter. Sales exceeded prior year by 13% but were
flat with the first quarter of this year while profits dipped slightly.
De-Sta-Co, OPW Fueling Component, Blackmer, and Midland continued as the largest
profit producers, but both OPW and Blackmer trailed prior year as demand for
gasoline vapor recovery products has weakened. De-Sta-Co weathered declining
volume for the overall auto industry with participation in new programs and
market share gains, but also saw its rate of profit growth slow. The three oil
field production companies were strongly ahead of a poor profit result in last
year's second quarter but were below 1995 first quarter sales and earnings
levels. Overall, 11 of Resources' 16 separate companies had earnings gains in
the quarter and the same number are ahead for 6 months.

DOVER INDUSTRIES

         Dover Industries profits rose 42% in the second quarter setting a new
record for this subsidiary. Nine of twelve individual operating companies
achieved earnings gains led by Heil, Marathon, Texas Hydraulics, and Davenport.
The sale by Groen of its AMW product line generated an unusual gain of $1.9
million which was more than offset by a charge taken to settle an environmental
claim. Continued expansion of margins (profits improved 42% on a 16% sales gain)
represents the combined effect of volume gains and efficient internal 
operations. Overall, salaried employment is up less than 5% from one year ago.
Although Industries' sales and earnings grew compared to the first quarter of
this year, the seasonal increase was less than normal, which Dover views as
evidence of the delayed impact (on Dover's business) of the U.S. economic
slowdown. Second quarter bookings were 20% lower than in the first quarter with
virtually all of the drop in Heil's aluminum tank trailer business. Fortunately,
backlog for this product line will support a high level of operations for the
remainder of the year.

DOVER TECHNOLOGIES

         Dover Technologies' profits more than doubled, driven by the
exceptional sales and earnings performance of Universal Instruments which
provided all of Technologies' net gain. Declines at three other companies,
principally DEK, were balanced by increases at TNI, Quandrant, and Soltec. The
Vectron operation of Quadrant purchased the FCP group from AT&T creating a $100
million sales volume leadership position in frequency generation for
communications devices, with technology covering crystal oscillators, TCXO's,
SAW and ASIC based designs, that will be called Vectron Technologies.

         Universal was successful in expanding production during the second
quarter as shipments rose over 30% from the first quarter. This led to higher
margins and better customer service. Bookings were 39% higher than last year's
second quarter but dropped 8% from the record-breaking first quarter of this
year. The resulting book-to-bill of .88 in the second quarter, reduced
Universal's backlog by $20 million during the quarter to a level that is still
32% ahead of last year. Universal's GSM-1 machine continues to be well received
with important new customers added during the quarter.

DOVER DIVERSIFIED

         Profit at Dover Diversified rose 21% from last year's second quarter
and expanded about 30% from this year's first quarter. Belvac (higher shipments
due to capacity expansion) and Tranter (full quarter's impact of acquisitions
made last year) both had sales and earnings gains of more than 40%.

<PAGE>   8

Profit remained depressed at A-C Compressor due to low shipments, but a 2 to 1
book-to-bill in the second quarter following a 2.1 to 1 in the first quarter has
raised A-C's backlog by 78% from this time last year and to a level more than 3
times first half shipments. Better profits are expected in the second half.
Belvac's orders continued to outpace shipments with a second quarter
book-to-bill of 1.46 that raised backlog to more than 4 times first half
shipments. Belvac again expanded capacity during the quarter. Dover Diversified
purchased Mark Andy (St. Louis), the leading maker of flexographic printing
machines which are primarily used for printing of self-adhesive labels. Their
customer base consists of approximately 3,000 printing companies worldwide. The
acquisition added to Diversified's pretax earnings in the second quarter due to
a strong month for operating profit but was essentially neutral to Dover after
tax and interest expense. Mark Andy's second half may be slightly dilutive to
Dover's EPS. Dover Diversified's prospects for the second half of the year are
excellent. Overall, backlog is 29% higher than at the start of the year which
should lead to further profit increases.

DOVER ELEVATOR

         Dover Elevator International recovered from an unusually low first
quarter earnings performance with a doubling of profit to a level 31% ahead of
last year's second quarter. For the first half of the year, profits trailed 1994
by 6% on a 2% sales gain. A catch-up of factory shipments at Dover Elevator
Systems, improved construction margins, and a turnaround of General Elevator's
1994 loss were the key factors in the improved earnings. New elevator bookings
in the second quarter were 12% ahead of last year which put the June 30 backlog
equal to prior year and up 2% since the start of 1995. The North American and UK
markets remain depressed and highly price competitive. Second quarter profit
includes some catch-up from the first quarter and probably will not be matched
in either of the two remaining quarters of 1995, both of which should, however,
exceed the prior year.

OUTLOOK

         Dover expects second quarter earnings to be the strongest of the
current year. Second half earnings will exceed prior year but will be at a lower
rate than the second quarter due to normal seasonality, the expected impact of
the economic slowdown now rolling through the U.S. economy, the $20 million
reduction in backlog at Universal, and the near term dilutive effect of
acquisitions completed in the second quarter or which may be made during the
rest of 1995. Assuming that the "soft landing" projections for the U.S. economy
are correct, Dover expects continued earnings growth in 1996.
