                     DRAVO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Dravo Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the company). 
The principal subsidiaries are Dravo Lime company, one of the nation's
largest lime producers, and Dravo Basic Materials Company, Inc. (DBM). 
The company completed a transaction on December 30, 1994 in which it sold
substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of DBM.  The assets
and liabilities sold have been removed from the company's June 30, 1995
and December 31, 1994 balance sheets.  The June 30, 1994 statement of
operations includes the results of DBM for the quarter.  Significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the
consolidation process.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal, recurring accruals, which management considers
necessary for a fair presentation of the company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods
presented. Certain reclassifications of previously reported balances have
been made to conform to the current period's presentation.

(2)  Inventories

     Inventories are classified as follows:

(3)  Contingent Liabilities

The company has been notified by the federal Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) that the EPA believes the company is a potentially
responsible party (PRP) for the clean-up of soil and groundwater
contamination at four subsites in Hastings, Nebraska.  The Hastings site
is one of the EPA's priority sites for taking remedial action under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
(CERCLA).  

At one of these subsites, a municipal landfill, the company believes it
could not have disposed of hazardous wastes at the particular subsite
because the landfill was closed prior to the time the company and its
predecessor initiated the operation which generated the type of hazardous
substances found at this subsite.  Other PRPs, including the local
municipality, have agreed to perform the remedial investigation and to
design soil and groundwater remedies at this subsite.  The company has
agreed to participate in an EPA initiated allocation proceeding for this
subsite.

The company has also been notified by EPA that EPA considers it a PRP at
another municipal landfill in Hastings.  At least three other parties
(including the City of Hastings) are considered by EPA to be PRPs at this
second subsite.  At this subsite, the company has concluded that the City
of Hastings is responsible for a proper closure of the landfill and the
remediation of any release of hazardous substances.  In January, 1994, EPA
invited the company and the other PRPs to make an offer to conduct a
remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) of this subsite and
stated that the EPA was in the process of preparing a work plan for the
RI/FS.  None of the PRPs has volunteered to undertake the RI/FS.

With respect to the third subsite, the company and two other PRPs have
been served with administrative orders directing them to undertake soil
remediation and interim groundwater remediation at that subsite.  The
company is currently complying with these orders while reserving its right
to seek reimbursement from the United States for its costs if it is
determined it is not liable for response costs or if it is required to
incur costs because of arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable requirements
imposed by the EPA.  

The EPA has taken no legal action with respect to its demand that the
company and the other PRPs pay its past response costs.  A total of five
parties have been named by the EPA as PRPs at this subsite, but two of
them have been granted de minimis status.  The company believes other
persons should also be named as PRPs.

The fourth subsite is a former naval ammunition depot which was
subsequently converted to an industrial park.  The company and its
predecessor owned and operated an HVAC facility in this industrial park. 
To date the company's investigation indicates that it did not cause the
release of hazardous substances in this subsite during the time it owned
and operated the facility.  The United States has undertaken to conduct
the remediation of this subsite.

(3)  Contingent Liabilities (continued)

In addition to subsite clean-up, the EPA is seeking a clean-up of area-
wide contamination associated with all of the subsites in and around
Hastings, Nebraska.  The company, along with other Hastings PRPs, has
recommended that the EPA adopt institutional controls as the area-wide
remedy in Hastings.  EPA has indicated some interest in this proposal but
has decided to first conduct an area-wide remedial investigation before
choosing a remedy. 

On August 10, 1992 the company filed suit in the Alabama District Court
against its primary liability insurance carriers and one of its
predecessor's insurers, seeking a declaratory judgment that the company
is entitled to a defense and indemnity under its contracts of insurance
(including certain excess policies provided by one of the primary
carriers) with regard to the third Hastings subsite.  The company recently
settled the claim against its predecessor's insurer, but the case against
the company's insurers is still in litigation.  An award of punitive
damages is also being sought against the company's insurers for their bad
faith in failing to investigate the company's claim and/or denying the
company's claim.  The company has notified its primary and excess general
liability carrier, as well as the excess carrier of its predecessor, of
the receipt of its notice of potential liability at the first, second and
fourth subsites.

Estimated total clean-up costs, including capital outlays and future
maintenance costs for soil and groundwater remediation of approximately
$18 million, are based on independent engineering studies.  Included in
the discontinued operations provision is the company's estimate that it
will participate in 33 percent of these remediation costs.  The company's
estimated share of the costs is based on its assessment of the total
clean-up costs, its potential exposure, and the viability of other named
PRPs.

In 1990, the company filed an action now pending in Luzerne County,
Pennsylvania alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment arising out
of the termination of a construction contract for the Hazleton
Gasification Facility Expansion.  The suit named as defendants Continental
Energy Associates (CEA), the project owner; Continental Cogeneration
Corporation (CCC), the general partner of CEA; and Swiss Bank Corporation,
the project lender.  CEA and CCC filed a separate suit against the company
which, as amended, seeks damages for breach of contract, negligent design
and construction, negligent misrepresentation, fraud and tortious
interference with the contract of surety.  The two suits, along with a
third action commenced by CEA and CCC against the company's surety, the
Insurance Company of North America, have been consolidated.  Documents
produced by CEA and CCC during the course of discovery allege claims at
an amount from approximately $10 million to approximately $35 million. 
However, the construction contract contains a provision limiting damages
to the value of the contract (a net of approximately $10 million) which
the company would seek to have specifically enforced.

               Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

(3)  Contingent Liabilities (continued)

In late 1994, both CEA and CCC filed for protection from creditors under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  In January 1995, the
Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving non-binding mediation of the
dispute with the company.

As a result of the mediation, CEA, CCC and the company have reached an
agreement setting forth the terms of a full and final settlement of the
dispute.  The settlement is subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court
and payment by the company of $2.8 million.  The Court will conduct a
hearing on the proposed agreement August 14, 1995.  The company's
contribution to the settlement will be charged against the previously
established reserve for discontinued operations.

Other claims and assertions made against the company will be resolved, in
the opinion of management, without material additional charges to
earnings.

The company has asserted claims that management believes to be
meritorious, but no estimate can be made at present of the timing or the
amount of recovery.

(4)  Discontinued Operations

In December, 1987, Dravo's Board of Directors approved a major
restructuring program which concentrated the company's future direction
exclusively on opportunities involving its natural resources business. 
The plan included the sale or other disposition of the former Engineering
and Construction segment.  

The remaining discontinued operations' assets and liabilities at June 30,
1995 and December 31, 1994 relate to non-cancelable leases, insurance,
environmental, legal and other matters associated with exiting the
engineering and construction business and are presented below:

(5)   Pro forma Information

      The company completed a transaction on December 30, 1994 in which it sold
      to Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (Martin Marietta), effective January
      3, 1995, substantially all the assets of its construction aggregates
      business.  Assets sold included the assets, properties and leases of
      Dravo Basic Materials Company, Inc. (DBM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
      the company, and Atchafalaya Mining Company, Inc. (AMC), a wholly-owned
      subsidiary of DBM, used in the production, marketing, distribution and
      sale of various aggregate products.  Also sold was the capital stock of
      Dravo Bahama Rock Limited (DBR), a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary of
      DBM.

      Pro forma data is provided below for comparative purposes only and does
      not purport to be indicative of the results which actually would have
      been obtained if the disposition had been effected on the pro forma
      dates, or other results which may be obtained in the future.

      The following pro forma statement of operations presents the results of
      operations assuming the disposition had been completed as of the
      beginning of 1994.  Adjustments have been made to exclude the results of
      DBM, to decrease interest expense for loans prepaid in early 1995 from
      the sale proceeds, and to record interest income at overnight investment
      rates for cash received in excess of liabilities paid.

                   DRAVO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
            Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                   Condition and Results of Operations
 

The company completed a transaction on December 30, 1994 in which it sold
to Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., effective January 3, 1995,
substantially all the assets of its construction aggregates business,
Dravo Basic Materials Company, Inc. (DBM).  As a result, the company has
one principal operating subsidiary, Dravo Lime Company, a major U. S. lime
producer.

The statements of operations for the quarter and six month periods ending
June 30, 1994 include DBM.  For a more meaningful comparison, the current
year's results should be compared to last year's results on a pro forma
basis.  The pro forma results assume the DBM sales transaction occurred
prior to 1994 and are presented in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Second quarter earnings were $2.7 million, or 14 cents per common share,
compared to $3.1 million, or $.17 per share, last year.  Gross profit from
lime operations was up $725,000 over the year ago quarter as the demand
for lime continues to be very strong. While selling, administrative and
interest expenses were significantly lower than last year, they did not
offset the income generated by DBM in the second quarter of 1994.  The
second quarter typically was a strong period for DBM.  Administrative
expenses were higher than anticipated due to costs in closing the
company's offices in Mobile, Alabama and start-up costs associated with
outsourcing of the company's mainframe computer and payroll functions.

Year-to-date earnings of $5.3 million, or 27 cents per share, far exceeded
last year's earnings of $517,000, or a loss of five cents per share after
payment of preferred dividends.  The improvement reflects strong demand
for lime from electric utilities and key non-utility markets, particularly
steel and pulp & paper.   Also contributing to the net earnings
improvement was a substantial reduction in general and administrative
expenses due to reduced personnel levels and interest expense as the
company used the proceeds from the DBM sale to reduce debt.  Last year's
results included a $1.4 million charge, nine cents per share, related to
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits".

Significant changes in the company's balance sheet from year-end 1994 to
June 30, 1995 occurred as a result of the collection of $120.5 million on
January 3, 1995 from the sale of DBM's assets.  The proceeds were used to
reduce debt over $85 million, satisfy DBM's accounts payable and finance
ongoing capital projects.

Capital expenditures of $17 million are primarily due to construction of
two new lime kilns and related material handling equipment at the
company's Black River lime facility in northern Kentucky.  The expansion
of the Black River facility is nearly complete.  Delays in the completion
of the product handling and loadout phases of the project and a prolonged
start-up period for the new kilns are currently being resolved.

Also, an aggregates plant is currently under construction at the company's
Longview lime facility near Birmingham, Alabama.  The plant will enable
Longview to convert overburden that is unsuitable for lime production into
marketable material, thus reducing lime production costs.

In July, the company's Board of Directors approved a $20 million expansion
project for a new kiln and upgrade of underground limestone mining
operations at the company's lime facility located near Maysville,
Kentucky.  The expansion is expected to be completed by the end of 1996
and will increase production capacity by 350,000 tons.

On May 15, 1995, the company reached an agreement to settle a long-
standing dispute with Continental Energy Associates (CEA), the owner of
a coal gasification facility built by Dravo in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. 
Currently in reorganization, CEA has committed as part of this agreement
to seek approval for the settlement from the U. S. Bankruptcy Court.  The
Court will conduct a hearing on the proposed agreement August 14, 1995. 
If approved, all disputes between the various parties involved in the
matter would be resolved.  The agreement calls for the company to make a
$2.8 million lump sum payment to CEA.  The payment will be charged against
the previously established reserve for discontinued operations and,
therefore, will not impact current earnings.
