         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     
                                UNAUDITED
     
     (1)  The condensed consolidated financial statements do not
          include footnotes and certain financial information
          normally presented annually under generally accepted
          accounting principles and, therefore, should be read in
          conjunction with the company's October 31, 1993 annual
          report on Form 10-K.  Accounting measurements at interim
          dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates
          than at year-end.  The results of operations for the
          three and nine months ended July 31, 1994 are not
          necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for
          the full year.
     
          The condensed consolidated financial statements included
          herein are unaudited; however, they contain all
          adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
          which, in the opinion of the company, are necessary to
          present fairly its consolidated financial position at July
          31, 1994 and the consolidated results of operations for
          the three and nine months ended July 31, 1994 and 1993
          and cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 1994 and
          1993.
     
     
     (2)  Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number
          of common and, when appropriate, common equivalent shares
          outstanding in each period.  Common equivalent shares are
          included when the effect of the potential exercise of

     (4)  Cash paid for interest was $9.2 million and $13.6 million
          for the nine month periods ended July 31, 1994 and 1993,
          respectively.  Income tax payments, net of refunds, were
          $49.2 million and $69.4 million during the nine month
          periods ended July 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
     
     
                                  -7-
     (5)  Net earnings for the nine months ended July 31, 1993
          included $12.6 million related to the favorable completion
          of a federal income tax audit for the tax years 1984
          through 1986.  As a result of the conclusion of that audit
          in the second quarter of 1993, $12.6 million in income tax
          liabilities were no longer deemed necessary and were
          reversed.
     
          During the second quarter of 1993, A.T. Massey, the
          company's coal investment, recorded an after-tax charge
          to earnings of $9.2 million to provide for the
          settlement of disputed obligations with the pension funds
          of the United Mine Workers of America/Bituminous Coal
          Operators of America.
     
     
     (6)  In November 1992, the company announced its decision to
          exit its Lead business.  As a consequence, the company's
          Lead business segment was classified as a discontinued
          operation as of October 31, 1992 and adjusted to net
          realizable value.  On April 7, 1994 the company completed
          the sale of its Lead business to an affiliate of a
          private investment company for consideration consisting
          of both cash and deferred payments.  The aggregate of the
          amounts realized from the sale and operating results from
          November 1992 until the date of the sale were within
          previously established estimates used to determine net
          realizable value.  As a consequence, the closing of the
          sale had no impact on the company's earnings beyond what
          was originally recognized in fiscal 1992.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     
     
     The following discussion and analysis is provided to increase
     understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, the
     condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying
     notes.
     
     
     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     
     Revenues increased 6 percent and 8 percent for the three and
     nine month periods ended July 31, 1994, compared with the same
     periods of 1993.  Net earnings for the three and nine months
     ended July 31, 1994 were $48.3 million and $140.0 million,
     respectively, compared with net earnings of $40.8 million and
     $118.5 million for the same periods of 1993.  Net earnings for
     the nine months ended July 31, 1993 included an after-tax
     charge of $9.2 million established by A.T. Massey, the
     company's coal investment, related to settlement of disputed
     obligations with the pension funds of the United Mine Workers
     of America/Bituminous Coal Operators of America.  Also included
     in 1993 net earnings was $12.6 million related to the favorable
     conclusion in the second quarter of 1993 of a federal income
     tax audit for the tax years 1984 through 1986.  Excluding these
     two nonrecurring items, net earnings increased 22 percent
     for the nine months ended July 31, 1994, compared with the same
     period of 1993.
     
     
     ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION
     
     Revenues for the Engineering and Construction segment increased
     7 percent for both the three and nine month periods ended July
     31, 1994 compared with the same periods of 1993, due primarily
     to an increase in work performed.  Engineering and Construction
     operating profits increased 17 percent and 19 percent, for the
     three and nine month periods ended July 31, 1994, respectively,
     compared with the same periods of 1993 due primarily to
     increased margins, and the increased volume of  work performed.
     Reported margins may fluctuate from time to time as a result of
     changes in the mix of engineering and design services and
     construction related services.  New awards for the three and
     nine months ended July 31, 1994 increased 14 percent and 7
     percent, respectively, compared with the same periods  of 1993.
     Approximately 69 percent and 54 percent of new awards for the
     first nine months of 1994 and 1993, respectively, were from
     projects located outside the United States.
     
     
     
                                  -9-
     The following table sets forth backlog for each of the
     company's business sectors:

        Total                  $   14,907   $   14,754   $   15,407
     
     The ratio of international to total backlog was 50  percent, 39
     percent and 39 percent at July 31, 1994, October 31, 1993 and
     July 31, 1993, respectively.
     
     
     COAL
     
     Revenues for the Coal segment increased 5 percent and 12
     percent, respectively, for the three and nine month periods
     ended July 31, 1994 compared with the same periods of 1993,
     due  primarily  to  increased  sales  volume of produced  coal.
     Gross margins also increased in the three and nine month
     periods of 1994 compared with 1993 due primarily to increased
     sales volume of produced coal partially offset by increased
     costs including start-up at certain new mines.  During the
     second quarter of 1993, a nonrecurring charge was recorded to
     provide for settlement of disputed obligations with the pension
     funds of the United Mine Workers of America/Bituminous Coal
     Operators of America.  Excluding the nonrecurring charge,
     operating profit increased 33 percent for the nine months of
     1994 compared with the same period of 1993.
     

     OTHER
     
     Corporate administrative and general expenses increased
     approximately $5.9 million and $8.6 million, respectively, for
     the three and nine months ended July 31, 1994 compared with the
     same periods in 1993 due primarily to higher stock price and
     performance driven compensation plans expense.
     

     
     
     
                                  -10-
     Net interest income for the three and nine month periods ended
     July 31, 1994 increased compared with the same periods of 1993
     due to both an increase in interest income and a decrease in
     interest expense.  Interest income increased due to higher
     average cash balances and interest rates whereas the lower
     interest expense was attributable to the pay down of
     short-term and long-term debt.
     
     Net earnings for the nine months ended July 31, 1993
     benefited from the reversal of $12.6 million of income
     tax liabilities.  That reversal was made in connection with the
     completion of a Federal income tax audit in the second quarter
     of 1993 for the years 1984 through 1986.  The reduction in
     liabilities did not affect the company's cash flow.  The
     effective tax rate for the nine month period ended July 31,
     1994 was essentially unchanged compared with the same period of
     1993, after excluding the 1993 favorable tax adjustment.
     
     In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
     issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112,
     "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (SFAS
     No. 112).  The statement requires accrual of the estimated cost
     of benefits provided by the employer to former or inactive
     employees after employment but before retirement.  Adoption of
     SFAS No. 112 is not required by the company until fiscal
     1995.  Although the precise method and impact of implementation
     is not known at this time, management believes the effect,
     based on the company's current benefit programs, will not be
     material.
     
     In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting
     for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS
     No. 115).  The statement addresses the accounting and reporting
     for investments in equity securities that have readily
     determinable fair values and for all investments in debt
     securities.  Adoption of SFAS No. 115 is not required by the
     company until fiscal 1995.  Based on the nature and composition
     of the company's current investment portfolios, management
     believes the impact of implementation will not be material.
     
     
     FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY
     
     The company expects to have adequate resources available from
     cash and short-term investments currently on hand, plus
     available revolving credit facilities, capital market sources,
     and its commercial paper program to provide for its financing
     needs in the foreseeable future.
     

     
     
                                  -11-
     On April 7, 1994 the company completed the sale of its Lead
     business to an affiliate of a private investment company for
     consideration consisting of both cash and deferred payments.
     
     For the nine months ended July 31, 1994, capital expenditures
     were $171.8 million including $122.8 million related primarily
     to mine development at A.T. Massey. Dividends paid in the nine
     months ended July 31, 1994 were $32.1 million ($.39 per share)
     compared with $29.5 million ($.36 per share) for the same
     period of 1993.
     
     The long-term debt to total capital ratio decreased to 4.8
     percent at July 31, 1994 compared with 5.4 percent at October
     31, 1993, due primarily to the increase in shareholders' equity
     from earnings, net of dividends.
