    NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION                                      
      

    On January 21, 1994, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dresser
    Industries, Inc. (Dresser) merged with Baroid Corporation (Baroid). 
    Dresser issued 0.40 shares of its common stock for each share of
    outstanding Baroid common stock, and Baroid became a wholly-owned
    subsidiary of Dresser.  The "Company" as used in these consolidated
    condensed financial statements refers to Dresser and its
    subsidiaries including Baroid.

    The merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests.  The
    1994 financial statements and other financial information include
    Baroid from November 1, 1993.  The 1993 financial statements and
    other financial information have been restated to include Baroid
    from November 1, 1992.

    NOTE C - INVENTORIES                                                
     

    The determination of inventory values and cost of sales under the
    LIFO method for interim financial results are based on management's
    estimates of expected year-end inventories.

    NOTE D - DEBT                                                       
      

    Short-term debt at January 31, 1994 consisted of $104.2 million of
    borrowings from U.S. and foreign banks.  At October 31, 1993 short-
    term debt included $216.0 million of domestic commercial paper as
    well as $74.0 million of borrowings from U.S. and foreign banks. 
    The commercial paper and certain bank borrowings were repaid in
    January, 1994.

    The Company's long-term debt includes $150 million of 8% Senior
    Notes which Baroid sold in April, 1993 via a public offering.  The
    Baroid Notes contain certain covenants that restrict certain types
    of transactions between Baroid and Dresser and between Baroid and
    other parties.  On February 17, 1994, Baroid gave notice to the
    holders of the Notes of the holder's right to require the Company
    to purchase all or any portion of the holder's Notes for a cash
    purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued
    and unpaid interest.  In addition, Dresser intends to propose
    amendments to the Indenture whereby Dresser will fully and
    unconditionally guarantee payment of principal and interest on the
    Notes in return for modifications to conform the covenants to those
    applicable to Dresser's 6.25% Notes.

    NOTE E - SPECIAL CHARGES                                            
      

    In the first quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a special charge
    of $9.5 million for the settlement of litigation related to Drill
    Bit pricing.  In the first quarter of 1993, the Company accrued a
    $7.0 million special charge for the Parker & Parsley Petroleum
    Company litigation.

    COMPANY  

    As indicated in Note A, Dresser and Baroid merged as of January 21,
    1994.  In connection with the merger, the Antitrust Division of
    United States Department of Justice ordered the Company to dispose
    of either its 64% general partnership interest in M-I Drilling
    Fluids Company (M-I) or its 100% interest in Baroid Drilling Fluids
    Inc. by June 1, 1994.  On March 2, 1994, the Company completed the
    sale of its 64% interest in M-I to Smith International, Inc. for
    $80 million in cash and $80 million in short-term notes.  The
    impact of the sale on the statement of earnings cannot be
    determined until the final February balance sheet of M-I is
    available.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                       QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 31, 1994

    General
<PAGE>



    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
    Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the Notes thereto
    appearing elsewhere in this report.

    On January 21, 1994, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dresser
    Industries, Inc. (Dresser) merged with Baroid Corporation (Baroid). 
    Dresser issued 0.40 shares of its common stock for each share of
    outstanding Baroid common stock, and Baroid became a wholly-owned
    subsidiary of Dresser.  The "Company" as used in this discussion
    refers to Dresser and its subsidiaries including Baroid.  The
    merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Financial
    data, statistical data, financial statements and discussions of
    financial information included in this report have been restated to
    reflect the financial position and results of operations as if the
    merger had occurred before November 1, 1992.

    Results of Operations - Three Months Ended January 31, 1994
    Compared to 1993

    Net earnings for the current quarter were $193.4 million or $1.11
    per share compared to $23.8 million or $.14 per share in the prior
    year quarter.  The current quarter included an after-tax gain of
    $147.0 million or $.84 per share on the sale of the Company's
    interest in Western Atlas International, Inc. (See Note B to
    Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

    Revenues of $1.36 billion for the current quarter were up $239
    million or 21% from the prior year quarter.  Earnings from
    operations for the current quarter of $78.5 million were $51.5
    million higher than the prior year quarter. The Company's first
    quarter improvement was broadly based, reflecting strong
    performances in all industry segments.  The strength of natural gas
    prices and related drilling activity in North America and the
    improving outlook for major economies, including those of the U.S.
    and Far Eastern countries, were major drivers in the performance. 
    See the Industry Segment Analysis for a discussion of each segment.

    The effective income tax rate applicable to earnings from
    operations was 37.0% for the 1994 quarter versus 37.5 % in the 1993
    quarter.  A lower tax basis on the investment in Western Atlas,
    compared to the book basis, resulted in a tax charge of $129.7
    million or  47% on the gain on sale.  The increase in the effective
    rate was due to approximately $30 million of taxes attributable to
    prior year equity earnings from Western Atlas that were considered
    permanently invested.

    Results of Operations - Three Months Ended January 31, 1994
    Compared to 1993 (Continued)
     
    Oilfield Services

    With the Baroid merger, the Oilfield Services Segment now includes
    the following businesses:  Drilling Fluids, Drilling Services, Pipe
    Coating, Underwater Engineering Services, Drill Bits, Production
    Tools and Ball Valves.  

    The Segment's consolidated operations had increases in revenues and
    operating profit of $119.3 million (36%) and $39.6 million (322%),
    respectively.  The acquired Pipe Coating and Valve businesses
    contributed $69.8 million of the revenue increase and $10.7 million
    of the operating profit increase.  The Directional Drilling
    business was also up substantially from a year ago.  All of the
    other businesses had increases in both revenues and operating
    profits.

    The improvements reflected stronger levels of drilling activity
    related to natural gas, principally in North America where the
    overall rig count was up 5 percent.  Drilling outside North America
    was up from a year earlier in January, 1994.  This was the first
    month that has happened since February, 1992.

    The Company sold its interest in Western Atlas in the first quarter
    of 1994 for a pre-tax gain of $276.7 million.  The first quarter of
    1993 included $10.5 million of pre-tax profits from Western Atlas
    operations.

    On March 2, 1994, the Company sold its 64 percent interest in M-I
    Drilling Fluids to Smith International, Inc. for $160 million.  The
    M-I divestiture was made to comply with the terms of an agreement
    with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. 
    Operating profit of M-I Drilling Fluids for the current quarter was
<PAGE>



    $12.4 million versus $2.8 million in the prior year quarter.  The
    Company will remain in the drilling fluids business through its
    Baroid Drilling Fluids subsidiary.

    Hydrocarbon Processing Industry

    Dresser-Rand had increases of $105 million in revenues and $7.5
    million in operating profit.  The improved performance reflected
    favorable demand for aftermarket parts and service as well as high
    levels of steam turbine shipments and rental unit activity.

    The current quarter's earnings of $5.8 million for Ingersoll-
    Dresser Pump reflects the benefits of the restructuring program
    undertaken last year. The prior year quarter's earnings of $5.3
    million included $7.5 million of earnings from the reversal of LIFO
    inventory reserves which were completely reversed by the end of
    fiscal 1993.

    Hydrocarbon Processing Industry (Continued)

    Revenues and operating profits in total for the other operations in
    the Segment increased by $6.5 million and $6.0 million
    respectively, reflecting improving market conditions in the U.S.
    and certain international areas.  Divisions providing fuel
    dispensing and control systems, rotary blowers and instruments and
    meters had good increases while the valve and control products
    operation showed a decline.

    Engineering Services

    This segment consists of the M.W. Kellogg Company's construction
    engineering and related services business.  Kellogg's Mexican
    affiliate, Bufete Industrial, completed a public offering of stock
    and Kellogg had a gain of $11.0 million due to the increased equity
    of the affiliate.  Kellogg's operating profit improved due to a
    favorable mix of projects, principally in international markets.

    Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition
<PAGE>



    The Company's liquidity and overall financial condition improved
    during the quarter primarily due to the proceeds from the sale of
    the Company's interest in Western Atlas.  Part of the proceeds were
    used to repay $210 million of debt.  The repayments improved the
    ratio of debt to total debt and shareholders' equity to 30/70 at
    January 31, 1994 from 40/60 at October 31, 1993.  Cash and cash
    equivalents increased $141.7 million during the quarter reflecting
    the remainder of the proceeds from the Western Atlas sale.  The tax
    of $129.7 million on the gain on the sale will be paid over the
    balance of the year.

    The Company continues to have access to additional capital
    resources should the need arise.  Management believes that
    available cash and lines of credit, combined with cash provided by
    operations, will be adequate to finance known requirements.

    Baroid Corporation issued 8% Senior Notes in April, 1993 via a
    public offering.  The Company intends to propose amendments to the
    Note Indenture whereby Dresser will guarantee the Notes in exchange
    for modification of certain covenants (See Note D to Consolidated
    Condensed Financial Statements).
