                          FLUOR CORPORATION
         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
          months ended January 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
          January 31, 1994 and the consolidated results of
          operations and cash flows for the three months ended
          January 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
          stock options is dilutive.


     (3)  Inventories comprise the following:

                                             January 31,  October 31,
                                                1994         1993
                                              (Dollars in Thousands)

          Coal...........................   $   16,008   $   15,375
          Supplies and other.............       18,698       17,459
                                            $   34,706   $   32,834


     (4)  Cash paid for interest was $3.0 million and $5.3 million
          for the three month periods ended January 31, 1994 and
          1993, respectively.  Income tax payments, net of refunds,
          were $7.0 million and $17.3 million in the three month
          periods ended January 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.



                                  -6-
     (5)  The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the
          company's income tax returns for years 1987 through
          1989.  Management does not expect the resolution of any tax
          issues raised by the IRS for these years to have a material
          adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial
          position or results of operations.


     (6)  In November 1992, the company announced its decision to
          exit its Lead business.  As of October 31, 1992, the Lead
          business was classified as a discontinued operation and
          adjusted to estimated net realizable value.  The
          company believes that its reserves for loss on
          disposal are adequate at January 31, 1994 in relation to
          its consolidated financial statements taken as a
          whole. During 1993 and the first quarter of 1994, the
          company made substantial progress toward the disposition
          of its Lead business. While the outcome of such
          disposition cannot be determined with certainty at this
          time, management's intent to dispose of the Lead business
          remains unaltered and management believes that a disposal
          will be accomplished during fiscal 1994.


     (7)  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 year 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.

                          FLUOR CORPORATION
                  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 for the three month period ended January 31, 1994,
     increased to $2.1 billion from $1.8 billion for the same period
     in 1993.  Net earnings for the three month period ended January
     31, 1994 were $44.0 million compared with $35.7 million for the
     same period of 1993.


     ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION

     Revenues for the Engineering and Construction segment increased
     14 percent for the three month period ended January 31, 1994
     compared with the same period in 1993, primarily due to an
     increase in the level of work performed.  Engineering and
     Construction operating profit increased in the first quarter of
     1994 compared with the first quarter of 1993 due to the
     increased volume of work performed, as well as a slight
     improvement in margins.  The company experienced an increase in
     new awards of 13 percent to $2.3 billion for the three months
     ended January 31, 1994 compared with $2.1 billion for the three
     months ended January 31, 1993.  New awards within the
     Hydrocarbon sector represented approximately 65 percent of
     total new awards for the first quarter of 1994.  Over 70
     percent of first quarter 1994 new awards consisted of
     international work, with the majority located in the European
     and Asia Pacific regions.  This reflects new work within certain
     international markets, particularly within the Hydrocarbon
     sector, together with relatively modest domestic business
     opportunities.  Backlog at both January 31, 1994 and October
     31, 1993 was $14.8 billion, down slightly from $14.9 billion at
     January 31, 1993.

     The following table sets forth backlog for each of the company's
     business sectors:

     Total                     $   14,815   $   14,754   $   14,936

     The ratio of international to total backlog was 43 percent at
     January 31, 1994.


     COAL

     Revenues for the Coal segment increased 9 percent for the three
     month period ended January 31, 1994 compared with the same
     period in 1993.  This increase is due to a 20 percent increase
     in the sales volume of produced coal more than offsetting a
     decline in the sales volume of brokered coal.  The sales price
     and cost per ton for both produced and brokered coal in the
     first quarter of 1994 was essentially unchanged compared with
     the same period of 1993.  Gross margin increased due to a
     higher percentage of produced coal, which has a higher margin
     than brokered coal.  Operating profit for the three months
     ended January 31, 1994 increased 23 percent compared with the
     three months ended January 31, 1993 primarily due to increased
     gross margin.


     OTHER

     Corporate administrative and general expenses increased $1.0
     million for the three months ended January 31, 1994, compared
     with the same period of 1993 due primarily to higher stock
     price driven compensation plan expense.

     Net interest income for the three months ended January 31, 1994
     was essentially level with the same period of 1993 due to the
     decline in interest expense offsetting a similar decline in
     interest income.

     The effective income tax rate for the three month period ended
     January 31, 1994 was essentially unchanged compared with the
     same period of 1993.



                                  -9-
     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 year
     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.


     DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     In November 1992, the company announced its decision to exit
     its Lead business.  As of October 31, 1992 the Lead business
     was classified as a discontinued operation and adjusted to
     estimated net realizable value.  The company believes that its
     reserves for loss on disposal are adequate at January 31, 1994
     in relation to its consolidated financial statements taken as a
     whole.  During 1993 and the first quarter of 1994, the company
     made substantial progress toward the disposition of its Lead
     business.  While the outcome of such disposition cannot be
     determined with certainty at this time, management's intent to
     dispose of the Lead business remains unaltered and management
     believes that a disposal will be accomplished during fiscal
     1994.


     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 for the foreseeable future.

     For the three months ended January 31, 1994, capital
     expenditures were $64.6 million including $53.3 million related
     to on-going coal mine development.  Dividends paid in the three
     months ended January 31, 1994 were $10.7 million ($.13 per
     share) compared with $9.8 million ($.12 per share) for the same
     period of 1993.

     The long-term debt to total capital ratio decreased slightly to
     5.2 percent at January 31, 1994, compared with 5.4 percent at
     October 31, 1993, due to the increase in shareholders' equity
     from earnings net of dividends.
