FMC Corporation and Consolidated Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1:  Financial information
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1994, and the related statements
of income and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993
have been reviewed by FMC's independent auditors.  The review is discussed
more fully in their report included herein.  In the opinion of management,
such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and reflect all adjustments necessary for a
fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods.  All
such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations
for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

At December 31, 1993, reserves for potential environmental obligations were
recorded net of recoveries, including recoveries from insurance companies,
the federal government and other potentially responsible parties.  At March
31, 1994 in response to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 92, $32 million of $54 million recorded recoveries
have been reclassified as an asset and $22 million relating to
discontinued operations remains recorded in the reserve for discontinued
operations and restructuring Recoveries will continue to be recorded
when probable and reasonably estimable.

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform with the
current period's presentation.

The accounting policies followed by the company are set forth in Note 1 to
the company's financial statements in the 1993 FMC Corporation Annual Report,
which is incorporated by reference in Form 10-K.

Note 2:  Other income and expense, net 
Other income and expense, net, for the three-month periods ended March 31,
1994 and 1993 includes pension-related income of $2.9 million and $1.2
million, and LIFO-related income of $1.8 million ($0.03 per share) and
$0.1 million, respectively.

Note 3:  Long-term debt
Advances under uncommitted credit facilities were $118 million at March 31,
1994.  Committed credit available under the Revolving Credit available under
the Revolving Credit Agreement provides management with the ability to
refinance this debt, and certain subsidiary debt, on a long-term basis.
Since it is management's intent to do so, advances under the uncommitted and
and committed facilities, have been classified as long-term debt in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

During the first quarter of 1994, the company modified its Revolving Credit
Agreement whereby the maximum credit limit was reduced from $700 million to
to $500 million.  On April 25, 1994 FMC further modified its Revolving
Credit Agreement again whereby the maximum credit limit was reduced from 
$500 million to $250 million.  Also on April 25, the company entered into
a new 364 day Revolving Credit Agreement with a maximum credit limit of
$250 million.  Terms of the new agreement are virtually identical to those
of the existing agreement.

       PAGE 7

Note 4:  Acquisitions

On May 9, 1994, the company signed a definitive agreement to acquire the
Jetway Systems Division of Abex Inc.  The agreement is subject to requisite
government filings and is targeted for completion by the end of May 1994.
Jetway is the world leader in design, production and installation of
passenger boarding bridge and other aircraft support systems. Jetway Systems
will be part of the Airline Equipment Division within the Energy and
Transportation Equipment Group.  The acquisition will be funded from
operations supplemented by existing cash balances and bank credit agreements.
The company will account for this acquisition by the purchase method.

Note 5: Accounting Standards Adopted

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, " Employers' Accounting
for Postemployment Benefits" was adopted by the company effective January 1,
1994.  Statement No. 112 requires accrual of the expected cost of
providing certain benefits to former or inactive employees after
employment but before retirement.  The effect of adoption was not material,
and accordingly, has been included as part of costs and expenses.  

Note 6:  Formation of United Defense, L.P.
 
On January 28, 1994, FMC and Harsco Corporation ("Harsco") announced
completion of a series of agreements, first announced in December 1992, to
combine certain assets and liabilities of FMC's Defense Systems ("DSG")
and Harsco's BMY Combat Systems Division ("BMY").  The effective date of
the combination was January 1, 1994.  The combined company, United Defense,
L.P. ("UDLP"), will operate as a limited partnership, with FMC as the
Managing General Partner with a 60 percent equity interest and Harsco Defense
Holding as the Limited Partner holding a 40 percent equity interest.

Beginning in the first quarter 1994, all sales and earnings of UDLP are
included into FMC's consolidated financial statements.  Harsco's share of
the partnership's earnings are included in minority interest.  Sales and
profits for 1994 versus 1993 are affected by the formation of the venture.
All of the assets and liabilities of UDLP are also consolidated in the 
balance sheet resulting in increases to marketable securities, trade
receivables, inventories, deferred charges, accounts payable, and minority
interest.

The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the
operating results of FMC and BMY as if the combination had occurred on
January 1, 1993.  The pro forma earnings include amortization of an
intangible asset and a minority interest in UDLP for Harsco's equity
interest.  The pro forma operating results are not necessarily indicative of
what would have occurred had the combination actually taken place on
January 1, 1993.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                      FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of March 31, 1994, the company had advances under uncommitted facilities
of $118 million.  It is the company's practice to maintain unused credit
availability under the Revolving Credit Agreements at least equal to the
amount of advances under uncommitted facilities.  As of March 31, 1994,
the company's committed credit line under the Revolving Credit Agreement
exceeded committed and uncommitted agreement borrowings by $292 million.

Expected cash requirements for the remainder of 1994 include approximately
$250-$325 million for planned capital expenditures and potential acquisitions
and net after tax interest payments of approximately $30 million based on
current debt levels.  Cash to meet these requirements will be provided
primarily by the company's operations supplemented, if necessary, by
existing cash balances and available credit facilities.

Spending charged to the restructuring reserve in the first quarter of 1994
was approximately $9 million primarily for severance and downsizing
activities in the machinery and equipment segment.  Projected requirements
for the remainder of 1994 are approximately $40-50 million for severance,
downsizing and other restructuring related costs.  Total spending and
resulting savings are unchanged from prior estimates.

On May 4, 1994 FMC Gold Company, an 80% owned subsidiary of FMC, announced
plans to invest $57 million to develop the Beartrack property located near
Salmon, Idaho.  The decision to proceed with the development was based
largely on improved project economics related to increased labor and
capital equipment efficiencies and a ruling by the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) that the project is "not likely to jeopardize" 
the Chinook salmon which has been designated a threatened species.  The
Beartrack property encompasses approximately 30 square miles of mining 
claims, contains approximately one million ounces of proven and probable
reserves, and is expected to start production in 1995.

(1) Certain chemical products with high value-added content and 
    specialty applications that formerly had been included in the
    Industrial Chemicals segment have been reclassified to the 
    Performance Chemicals segment.  Results for both Industrial
    and Performance Chemicals have been restated for comparative
    reporting purposes.

(2) Minority interests relates primarily to UDLP (13.8)
     and FMC Gold (0.9) in 1994 and FMC Gold in 1993.

Sales of $908 million were even with last year.  Income of $68 million from 
operations before taxes increased 10 percent compared with $62 million in
1993. This increase primarily reflects strong operating performance,
improved manufacturing efficiencies and cost improvements in Industrial
Chemicals and Machinery and Equipment, offsetting the significant but
expected declines in the earnings of FMC's Defense and Precious Metals 
businesses.

      PAGE 10

Industrial Chemicals sales of $198 million declined 5 percent in the quarter
from $209 million in 1993.  Profits of $35 million increase significantly
compared with $17 million last year. The unusually strong increase reflects 
improved manufacturing performance and accelerated production schedules.
Much of the improvement, which relates to one-time events, will not be
sustainable over the remainder of the year.

The European economy remained depressed, but profits from operations in 
Europe increased, reflecting manufacturing and efficiency improvements.
Worldwide prices for soda ash declined, but results reflect the favorable
impact of accelerated production, manufacturing efficiencies and improved
costs associated with the shut-in of the Green River, Wyoming, caustic soda
facility until markets improve.  Continued weak hydrogen peroxide prices
were offset by strong volume growth in the North American pulp and paper
market.

During the quarter, FMC announced the first phase of a major investment in
the soda ash business.  The $90 million investment will significantly lower
soda ash production costs at FMC's Green River facility through a new
proprietary manufacturing technology, thereby providing the company with
a competitive operating advantage.  This investment also positions FMC for
an economic capacity expansion when market conditions improve.

Performance Chemicals sales of $251 million rose 7 percent compared with 
$234 million in last year's period.  Agricultural Chemical volumes
increased on strong demand throughout North America and Brazil, as well as
higher specialty pest control, or non-crop, chemical sales.  Segment results 
also benefitted from higher volumes of pharmaceutical ingredients used in
over-the-counter medications, as well as from strong growth in existing and 
new applications for food ingredients products.  Despite significantly
higher research, sales and marketing spending to support the
commercialization of two new herbicides and the future growth of the
pharmaceutical and food ingredients businesses, profits of $38 million
remained strong compared with $39 million in last year's quarter.

During the quarter, FMC announced a major investment to develop a lithium 
resource in Argentina, which will combine a high-quality brines resource
with successful development of new extraction technologies.  Development 
of this resource will significantly improve FMC's competitive position,
particularly in the specialty lithium compound markets, where growth
efforts are focused.

Precious Metals sales of $22 million and profits of $3 million declined, 
as expected, from sales of $40 million and profits of $6 million in last
year's quarter.  The closure of the Paradise Peak mine, reduced gold 
production (62 thousand ounces compared with 102 thousand ounces in first 
quarter 1993) and lower realized gold prices contributed to the segment's
reduced proifitability.


      Page 11

Defense Systems sales were $243 million and profits (excluding Harsco's 
$14 million share of United Defense earnings) totaled $22 million in the
1994 first quarter.  The lower profits primarily reflect the reduced
production rate of Bradley Fighting Vehicles and the shutdown of the
Vertical Launching Systems production line in fourth quarter 1993,
partially offset by an earlier dividend from the 51 percent-owned joint
venture based in Turkey.  Defense backlog stood at $1.4 billion at the end
of the quarter, up from $1.1 billion at the beginning of the year.  The
difference reflects the formation of UDLP.

As announced during the quarter, UDLP was designated by the Department of 
the Army to be the prime contractor and systems integrator for the Bradley
Modernization Program.  As prime contractor, UDLP is strategically 
positioned to lead the design and development of the electronic system to
improve fire control and integratge communications hardware and software 
on the battlefield.

Machinery and Equipment sales of $203 million rose 7 percent from $190 
million, and profits increased to $8 million from $3 million. Despite weak
worldwide oil prices and deferral of projects by major oil companies, 
Energy and Transportation Equipment's continuing success in winning major
international contracts resulted in higher volumes of wellheads, trees and
subsea equipment compared with last year's quarter.  Results also benefitted 
from the impact of recent acquisitions and improved operating performance.
During the quarter, the Energy business established a joint venture in Oman, 
shipped its first product from a new joint venture in Russia, and with its
Brazilian partner, successfully completed construction of the world's deepest
subsea well.

Food Machinery sales were flat in the quarter, as several of our food 
machinery markets, particularly in Europe, still show no signs of recovery.
However, profits increased in the quarter due to aggressive cost-cutting and 
manufacturing efficiencies throughout the businesses.  Machinery and
Equipment backlog stood at $372 million at the end of the quarter, up from
$333 million at the beginning of the year.

Certain corporate income and expense items are not allocated to specific 
business segments due to their nature.  Corporate and other remained 
consistent while other income and expense, net increased due to favorable 
Pension and LIFO inventory adjustments.

The effective tax rate for the quarters ended March 31, 1994 and
1993 was 32 percent and 26 percent, respectively.  The increase is primarily 
due to lower 1994 depletion benefits and higher taxes on repatriated
earnings.

                  OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FMC's backlog of unfilled orders as of March 31, 1994 was $1.8
billion.  Backlogs are not reported for Industrial Chemicals,
Performance Chemicals, and Precious Metals due to the nature of
these businesses.

The Board of Directors
FMC Corporation:




We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of FMC 
Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries as of March 31, 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-
month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.  These financial statements 
are the responsibility of the company's management.

We were furnished with the report of other accountants on their review of 
the interim financial information of United Defense, L.P., whose total
assets as of March 31, 1994, and whose revenues for the three-month period 
ended March 31, 1994 constituted 17 percent and 27 percent, respectively,
of the related consolidated totals.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the 
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures 
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the 
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews and the report of other accountants, we are not aware 
of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying 
financial statements referred to the above for them to be in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Partners
United Defense LP
Arlington, Virginia


We have reviewed the balance sheet of United Defense LP as of 
March 31, 1994, and the related statements of income, partners'
equity and cash flows for the three-month period from the effective date of
the Partnership (January 1, 1994) through March 31, 1994.  These 
financial statements (not presented separately in the FMC Corporation
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1994) are the responsibility 
of the Partnership's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the 
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures 
to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of
expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a 
whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that 
should be made to the Partnership financial statements at March 31, 1994,
and for the three-month period then ended for them to be in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.
