   Note A - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Change              

   Wheatley Merger

   On  August  5,  1994, the Company merged with Wheatley TXT Corp. (Wheatley).
   The  merger  was  accounted  for  as  a pooling of interests.  The Condensed
   Consolidated  Statement of Earnings and the Condensed Consolidated Statement
   of Cash Flows for the three months ended January 31, 1994 have been restated
   to  reflect  the  results  of  operations and the cash flows of the combined
   companies as if the merger had occurred on November 1, 1993.

   Accounting Change

   Effective   November  1,  1994,  the  Company  changed  its  accounting  for
   postemployment  benefits  as  required  by Statement of Financial Accounting
   Standards  No.  112,  Employers Accounting for Postemployment Benefits (SFAS
   112).    Postemployment  benefits  include  salary continuation, disability,
   severance  pay  and health care for former or inactive employees who are not
   retired.    Medical  benefits  for employees on long-term disability are the
   most  significant  of these benefits.  SFAS 112 requires accrual of the cost
   of  these  benefits  currently.    The  Company  had  previously accrued the
   liability  for  salary continuation but had accounted for the other benefits
   as benefits were paid. 

   The  Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the three months ended
   January  31,  1995  includes  a  charge of $16.0 million (net of tax of $9.0
   million)  or  $0.09  per  share  for the cumulative effect of the accounting
   change.

   Note B - Baroid Financial Information                             

   On January 21, 1994, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dresser merged with Baroid
   Corporation  (Baroid).    The  merger  was  accounted  for  as  a pooling of
   interests, and the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for
   the  three  months ended January 31, 1994 were prepared as if the merger had
   occurred on November 1, 1993.

   Note H - Litigation and Contingencies                              

   General Litigation

   The  Company  continues  to  be involved in a lawsuit brought by parties who
   purchased  a  construction  equipment dealership from a third party in 1988.
   In  April,  1994,  the  jury  returned  a  verdict  awarding  the plaintiffs
   compensatory  damages  of $6.5 million and punitive damages of $4.0 million.
   This case has been appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

   The  purchasers  of the Company's former hand tool division sued the Company
   for fraud in connection with the October, 1983 transaction. In May, 1994, the
   jury  returned  a verdict awarding the plaintiffs $4 million in compensatory
   damages and $50 million in punitive damages.  On October 13, 1994, the Court
   ordered a reduction of damages from $54 million to $12 million.  The Company
   filed a notice of appeal on November 7, 1994.

   Based  on  a  review  of the current facts and circumstances, management has
   provided for what is believed to be a reasonable estimate of the exposure to
   loss  associated  with these matters.  While acknowledging the uncertainties
   of  litigation,  management  believes  that  these  matters will be resolved
   without  a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
   operations.

   Note H - Litigation and Contingencies (continued)                  

   Asbestosis Litigation 

   The Company has a large number of pending claims in which it is alleged that
   third  parties  sustained  injuries and damages resulting from inhalation of
   asbestos  fibers  used  in  products  manufactured  by  the  Company and its
   predecessor  companies.    Approximately  half  of the pending claims allege
   injury  as a result of exposure to asbestos contained in refractory products
   with  the  other  half  alleging  injury as a result of exposure to asbestos
   gaskets and packings used in other products manufactured by the Company.  

   Refractory  product  claims  filed  subsequent  to  July  31,  1992, are the
   responsibility of INDRESCO Inc. pursuant to an agreement entered into at the
   time  of the spin-off.  The Company has provided for the estimated exposure,
   based  on past experience, for the open cases involving refractory products.
   The  Company  has  also  provided  for  estimated  exposure relating to non-
   refractory  product  claims.    However,  the Company has less experience in
   settling  such  claims.    Generally  when  settlements  have been made, the
   amounts  involved  are  substantially  lower  than  the  claims  involving
   refractory products.

   In  1993,  the  Company  sustained  an  adverse  judgment  in cases filed by
   employees  of  Ingalls  Shipyard  in Pascagoula, Mississippi.  The Company's
   share  of damages awarded in six cases amounted to $3.8 million plus 10% add
   on  for  punitive  damages.   The judgment does not conform to the Company's
   past  experience  and  was  not  in  accordance with the evidence.  The case
   currently  is  on  appeal  to  the  Mississippi  Supreme  Court.  Management
   believes  that  any  ultimate  loss  would  be covered by its agreement with
   insurance  carriers described in Note M to Consolidated Financial Statements
   in  Amendment  No.  1 on Form 10-K/A dated February 3, 1995 to the Company's
   1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

   In  December  1994,  a jury in Baltimore, Maryland returned a verdict on the
   liability  portion  of a consolidated asbestos case and awarded compensatory
   damages  for  five  trial  plaintiffs,  including  two against the Company's
   former  Refractory  Division.    On  February 9, 1995, the jury returned its
   verdict  in  the  punitive  damages  portion  of  the  case, applying a 200%
   punitive  damage multiplier.  While the amounts returned by the jury for the
   two trial plaintiffs are the financial responsibility of INDRESCO Inc.

   Note H - Litigation and Contingencies (continued)                  

   Asbestosis Litigation (continued)

   pursuant  to the Distribution Agreement under which it was spun off from the
   Company,  the findings, if sustained on appeal, will apply to individuals in
   the  consolidated  case  whose claims are the responsibility of the Company.
   These  claims,  which  number approximately 530, will be tried in subsequent
   mini-trials  that  will  not take place until after the Company has appealed
   this  verdict.    The  Company believes that it has meritorious arguments on
   appeal,  and  intends  to  proceed vigorously to have the verdict set aside.
   Management believes that any ultimate loss would be covered by its agreement
   with  insurance  carriers  described  in  Note  M  to Consolidated Financial
   Statements  in  Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A dated February 3, 1995 to the
   Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
     
   Management  recognizes  the  uncertainties of litigation and the possibility
   that  a series of adverse rulings could materially impact operating results.
   However, based upon the Company's historical experience with similar claims,
   the  time elapsed since the Company discontinued sale of products containing
   asbestos,  and  management's  understanding  of  the facts and circumstances
   which  gave  rise  to  such  claims,  management  believes  that the pending
   asbestos  claims  will  be resolved without material effect on the Company's
   financial position or results of operations.

   Quantum Chemical Litigation

   In  October  1992,  Quantum  Chemical  Corporation  ("Quantum") brought suit
   against  the  Company's  wholly  owned subsidiary, The M. W. Kellogg Company
   ("Kellogg"), alleging that Kellogg negligently failed to provide an adequate
   design  for  an ethylene facility which Kellogg designed and constructed for
   Quantum  and  fraudulently  misrepresented  the  state of development of its
   Millisecond  Furnace  technology  to  be  used  in the facility.  Quantum is
   seeking  $200  million in actual damages and punitive damages equal to twice
   the  actual damages claimed.  Kellogg has answered denying the claim and has
   filed  a  counterclaim  against  Quantum  alleging libel, slander, breach of
   contract and fraud.  Discovery has been completed, and a trial date has been
   set  for  September  25,  1995.   Management believes the Quantum lawsuit is
   totally  without  merit and will be resolved without material adverse effect
   on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

   Environmental Matters

   The  Company  has  been  identified as a potentially responsible party in 86
   Superfund sites.  Primary responsibility for nine of these sites was assumed
   by  INDRESCO  Inc. The  Company  previously  has  entered into settlements in
   respect  of  eighteen Superfund sites at a total cost of $.4 million.  Based
   upon   the  Company's  historical  experience  with  similar  claims  and
   management's  understanding  of  the  facts  and  circumstances,  management
   believes that the situations at the remaining sites will be resolved without
   material  effect  on  the  Company's  financial  position  or  results  of
   operations.

   Other Litigation

   The Company is involved in certain other legal actions and claims arising in
   the ordinary course of business.  Management recognizes the uncertainties of
   litigation  and  the  possibility  that  one  or  more adverse rulings could
   materially  impact operating results.  However, based upon the nature of and
   management's understanding of the facts and circumstances which gave rise to
   such actions and claims, management believes that such litigation and claims
   will be resolved without material effect on the Company's financial position
   or results of operations.

                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 
                 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   Overview

   On  January  21,  1994, Dresser merged with Baroid Corporation (Baroid).  On
   August  5,  1994,  Dresser  merged  with Wheatley TXT Corp. (Wheatley).  The
   "Company" as used in this discussion refers to Dresser and its subsidiaries
   including Baroid and Wheatley.  The mergers were accounted for as pooling of
   interests.    Financial  data,  statistical  data,  financial statements and
   discussion  of financial information included in this report for the quarter
   ended  January 31, 1994 have been prepared as if the mergers had occurred on
   November 1, 1993.

   Results of Operations - Three Months Ended January 31, 1995 Compared to 1994

   Consolidated Results

   First  quarter  earnings  from  operations  before an accounting change were
   $38.6  million  or  $0.21  per  share compared to $48.3 million or $0.28 per
   share  in 1994 excluding the gain on sale of interest in Western Atlas.  The
   decline  was  principally  due  to $16.3 million or $0.09 per share from the
   combined  impact of the 1994 earnings of M-I Drilling Fluids, which was sold
   in February, 1994, and the 1994 gain on a stock offering by an affiliate.

   Effective   November  1,  1994,  the  Company  changed  its  accounting  for
   postemployment  benefits  as  required  by Statement of Financial Accounting
   Standards  No.  112,  Employers Accounting for Postemployment Benefits (SFAS
   112).    Postemployment  benefits  include  salary continuation, disability,
   severance  pay  and health care for former or inactive employees who are not
   retired.    Medical  benefits  for employees on long-term disability are the
   most  significant  of these benefits.  SFAS 112 requires accrual of the cost
   of  these  benefits  currently.    The  Company  had  previously accrued the
   liability  for  salary continuation but had accounted for the other benefits
   as benefits were paid.   The Company recorded a charge of $16.0 million (net
   of  tax of $9.0 million) or $0.09 per share for the cumulative effect of the
   accounting change.

   Results of Operations - Three Months Ended January 31, 1995 Compared to 1994
   (Continued)

   Consolidated Results (continued)

   Net earnings for the current quarter including the charge for the accounting
   change  were  $22.6  million  or  $0.12  per share.  The 1994  quarter's net
   earnings  of  $195.3  million  or $1.08 per share included $147.0 million or
   $0.80  per  share for the one time gain on sale of the Company's interest in
   Western Atlas International, Inc.

   First  quarter  revenues of $1.3 billion were down from $1.4 billion in 1994
   primarily due to the 1994 revenues of M-I Drilling Fluids.

   Compared to the first quarter of 1994, consolidated gross earnings were down
   $54.3  million  or  2.5%  when  expressed  as  a percentage of revenues. The
   decrease  primarily  reflects  the impact in 1994 of M-I Drilling Fluids, and
   lower  volume  in  the pipecoating business and lower current margins in the
   Engineering  Services  business both due to the timing of project awards and
   completions.  See the Industry Segment Analysis for additional discussion of
   each segment.

   Selling, engineering, administrative and general expenses were $19.8 million
   lower  than  the  prior  year  quarter primarily due  to M-I Drilling Fluids'
   expenses  in  1994.    Special  charges  in  the  1994  quarter were for the
   settlement of Drill Bit pricing litigation.

   The  effective  income tax rate for the 1995 quarter was 33% compared to 44%
   in  the  1994  quarter.    In  1994,  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 Western Atlas transaction
   increased  the  overall  rate for the first quarter of 1994 from 37% to 44%.
   The  lower  effective rate of 33% for the first quarter of 1995 approximates
   the  effective  rate  the  Company  experienced  for  fiscal year 1994 after
   adjusting for non-recurring items.

   Minority  interest  expense was $7.3 million lower primarily due to the sale
   of  M-I  Drilling  Fluids  Company, which had a 36% minority owner and lower
   Dresser-Rand earnings.

   financial information by industry segment.

   INDUSTRY SEGMENT ANALYSIS (continued)

   Oilfield Services

   Excluding the 1994 revenues and operating profit of M-I Drilling Fluids, the
   segment's  revenues increased $13.4 million to $382.6 million but operating
   profit  decreased $12.8 million to $33.2 million.  The decrease in operating
   profit  was  primarily  attributable  to the Company's pipecoating business,
   Bredero  Price, which experienced significantly lower revenues and operating
   profit due to a cyclical downturn in the awarding of new projects to replace
   projects  completed in 1994.  However, Bredero Price recently announced that
   it had been awarded a contract worth approximately $300 million during 1996-
   1999  for  a  pipecoating  project in the North Sea.  The Sub Sea underwater
   engineering  operations also had lower operating profit due to completion in
   1994  of a significant international contract and a gain in 1994 on the sale
   of its interest in a Norwegian affiliate.

   The lower Bredero Price revenues were more than offset by higher revenues by
   the  Baroid  Drilling  Fluids  and Sperry-Sun Drilling Services units.  Both
   businesses  benefited from strong performances in North America and improved
   performances in international markets, particularly Latin America.

   Segment revenues and operating profit also benefited from inclusion of three
   months of Axelson's results in 1995 versus one month in 1994.

   Hydrocarbon Processing Industry

   Dresser-Rand  -  Revenues  of  $290.2  million  and operating profit of $6.0
   million  were  down  $53.3  million and $8.3 million, respectively, from the
   1994  quarter  for  this 51% owned joint venture.  The decreases were due to
   lower  sales  volumes  of  complete units and repair parts attributable to a
   slow-down in the industry.  The backlog of orders rose 12% to $738.9 million
   during the current  quarter.

   Ingersoll-Dresser  Pump - The Company's equity in earnings of this 49% owned
   joint  venture  was $4.1 million compared to $5.3 million in 1994 reflecting
   higher operating costs in Europe.

   (Continued)

   INDUSTRY SEGMENT ANALYSIS (continued)

   Hydrocarbon Processing Industry (continued)

   Other  Operations - Revenues of $305.3 million and operating profit of $34.3
   million  were up $36.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively, from the 1994
   quarter.    All  seven  of  the  Divisions  in  these operations had revenue
   increases  due  to  higher volume, and all but two also had higher operating
   profit.    The  Wayne,  Waukesha Engine and Valve and Controls divisions had
   significant  increases in revenues and operating profit.  Valve and Controls
   results  also included improvements associated with the downsizing in Europe
   in 1994.  Backlog for all these operations increased 4% to $292.1 million at
   January 31, 1995.

   Engineering Services (M. W. Kellogg Company) 

   M. W. Kellogg's revenues in the current quarter were $318.4 million and were
   $22.4  million  higher  than a year ago.  However, operating profit of $11.4
   million  was  $6.5  million (36%) lower, excluding a gain in 1994 on a stock
   offering  by  a  Mexican  affiliate.    The lower profit reflects the timing
   between the phasing down of several major jobs and the start-up of new jobs.
   Backlog  increased  2  percent in the quarter to $1.7 billion at January 31,
   1995.

   Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition

   The  Company's liquidity and overall financial condition remain strong with
   very little change during the three months ended January 31, 1995.  As shown
   on  the  statements  of cash flows, cash provided by operating activities of
   $72.2   million  was  essentially  the  same  as  capital  expenditures  and
   dividends.    Cash  and  cash equivalents decreased $41.1 million during the
   quarter  primarily  due  to $34.0 million used for the acquisition of Subtec
   Asia  Limited  (see  Note  C).  Long-term debt increased $6.3 million in the
   quarter due to debt of Subtec.

   The  Company's  ratio  of total debt to total debt and shareholders' equity
   improved to 24/76 at January 31, 1995 compared to 23/77 at October 31, 1994. 

   Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition (continued)

   Management  believes  that  the  cash on hand, cash that will be provided by
   future  operations  and existing lines of credit will be adequate to finance
   known  requirements.    Management  also  believes that the Company s strong
   financial  condition  and favorable credit ratings will allow the Company to
   borrow additional funds should the need arise.

   Legal and Environmental Matters

   The  Company  is  currently involved in a number of lawsuits.  See Note H to
   Condensed   Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  information  on  these
   lawsuits  and  evaluation  of  the Company's exposure.  The Company has been
   identified  as  a  potentially  responsible  part in the number of Superfund
   sites.    Note H to Consolidated Financial Statements also includes a review
   and evaluation of the claims.
