Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
----------------------------------------------------
(In Thousands of Dollars, Except Per Share Amounts)
---------------------------------------------------
(Unaudited)
-----------
1. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 29, 1996, and the
related condensed consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for
the three month periods ended March 29, 1996 and March 31, 1995 are
unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such
adjustments only consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
The financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with Form
10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the Corporation's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 1995
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission March 19, 1996, which
should be read in conjunction with this report.
In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management
must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
2. In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries
enter into contracts providing for assessment of damages for nonperformance
or delays in completion. Suits and claims have been or may be brought
against the Corporation by customers alleging deficiencies in either
equipment design or plant construction. Based on its knowledge of the facts
and circumstances relating to the Corporation's liabilities, if any, and to
its insurance coverage, management of the Corporation believes that the
disposition of such suits will not result in charges against assets or
earnings materially in excess of amounts previously provided in the
accounts.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries, along with many other companies, are
codefendants in numerous lawsuits pending in the United States and Canada,
in which plaintiffs claim damages for personal injury or property damage
alleged to have arisen from the exposure to or use of asbestos. At March
29, 1996, there were approximately 82,000 suits pending. Approximately
11,000 new claims were filed in the three-month period ended March 29, 1996
and approximately 6,500 were either settled or dismissed without payment.
Any settlement costs not covered by the Corporation's insurance carriers
were immaterial. The Corporation has agreements with insurance carriers
covering a substantial portion of its potential costs relating to pending
claims. Management of the Corporation has carefully considered the
financial viability and legal obligations of its insurance carriers and has
concluded that the insurers will continue to adequately fund claims and
defense costs relating to asbestos litigation.
The Company accrues as a liability any "probable" losses relating to
litigation and records as an asset related "probable" insurance recoveries.
Based on its knowledge of relevant facts and circumstances, on its
determination of the availability and extent of insurance coverage, and on
the advice of the Corporation's special counsel, the management of the
Corporation is of the opinion that the ultimate disposition of pending and
future asbestos-related lawsuits will not result in material charges
against assets or earnings.

3. The Corporation maintains two revolving credit facilities with a syndicate
of banks. One is a short-term revolving credit facility of $100,000 with a
maturity of 364 days and the second is a $300,000 revolving credit facility
with a maturity of four years (collectively, the "Revolving Credit
Facilities"). The Revolving Credit Facilities contain two financial
covenants. The first covenant is that the Consolidated Fixed Charges
Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facilities) shall be
greater than 2.5:1 for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. The
Consolidated Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio for the period ending March 29,
1996 was 2.83. The Revolving Credit Facilities also require the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined therein, not exceed 0.5:1. As of
March 29, 1996, the ratio was 0.41:1.
4. A total of 2,477,512 shares were reserved for issuance under the stock
option plans; of this total 1,344,500 were not under option.
5. Foster Wheeler Corporation had a backlog of firm orders as of March 29,
1996 of $6,534,120, as compared to a backlog as of March 31, 1995 of
$5,425,077.
6. Earnings per share data have been computed on the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding. Outstanding stock options have been
disregarded because their effect on earnings per share would not be
significant.
7. Interest income and cost for the following periods are:

Item 2.- Management's Discussion and Analysis
- ------ ------------------------------------
of Results of Operations and Financial Condition (Unaudited)
------------------------------------------------------------
The following is Management's Discussion and Analysis of certain significant
factors that have affected the financial condition and results of operations of
the Corporation for the periods indicated below. This discussion and analysis
should be read in conjunction with the 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
March 19, 1996.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 29, 1996 compared to three months ended March 31, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Corporation's consolidated backlog at March 29, 1996 totaled $6,534.1
million, the highest in the history of the Corporation. This represented an
increase of $1,109.0 million or 20% over the amount reported for the same period
in 1995. The dollar amount of backlog is not necessarily indicative of the
future earnings of the Corporation related to the performance of such work.
Although backlog represents only business which is considered firm,
cancellations or scope adjustments may occur. Due to factors outside the
Corporation's control, such as changes in project schedules, the Corporation
cannot predict with certainty the portion of backlog not to be performed.
Backlog has been adjusted to reflect project cancellations, deferrals, and
revised project scope and cost. The net reduction in backlog from project
adjustments and cancellations for the three months ended March 29, 1996 was
approximately $390 million, compared with $56 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1995. Furthermore, the Corporation's future award prospects include
several large scale international projects and, because the large size and
uncertain timing can create variability in the Corporation's contract awards,
future award trends are difficult to predict with certainty.
The Engineering and Construction ( E & C) Group had backlog of $4,691.9 million
at March 29,1996, which represented a 19% increase from March 31,1995 due
primarily to the orders reported by the Environmental subsidiary in the United
States and the French subsidiary. The Energy Equipment Group had backlog of
$1,588.7 million at March 29, 1996, a 33% increase from backlog at March 31,
1995 due primarily to the orders taken by the Spanish subsidiary in the Energy
Equipment Group and the purchase of the power generation business of A. Ahlstrom
Corporation (Pyropower) in the fourth quarter of 1995.
New orders awarded for the three months ended March 29, 1996 of $1,417.4 million
were 51% higher than new orders awarded for the three months ended March 31,
1995 of $937.3 million. In excess of 50% of new orders in the three months ended
March 29, 1996 were for projects awarded to the Corporation's subsidiaries
located outside the United States. Key geographic regions contributing to new
orders awarded for the three months ended March 29, 1996 were the United States,
Europe, and the Middle East.
The principal reasons for the increase in new orders awarded for the three
months ended March 29, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 were the
significant awards made to the U.S. subsidiaries of $503.4 million and the
United Kingdom subsidiary of $250.1 million in the E & C Group, as well as
orders awarded to the Spanish subsidiary in the Energy Equipment Group of $155.8
million.

(Continued)
-----------
Operating revenues increased in the three months ended March 29, 1996 by $207.9
million compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $843.9 million from
$636.0 million. The Energy Equipment Group was primarily responsible for the
increase in operating revenues, accounting for approximately 75% of this
increase, or $156.2 million. Of the increase in the Energy Equipment Group's
operating revenues, $122.0 million was related to power generation business and
was primarily attributable to the Pyropower acquisition. The balance of the
increase is primarily related to the operations of the Italian affiliate of the
E & C Group.
Gross earnings increased $27.5 million to $117.3 million from $89.8 million or
31% in the three months ended March 29, 1996 as compared with the three months
ended March 31, 1995. The E & C Group was responsible for approximately $4.3
million of the increase in gross earnings, while the Energy Equipment Group
accounted for $21.7 million of the increase in gross earnings. The increase in
the Energy Equipment Group was primarily due to the acquisitions of Pyropower
and TPA, Inc. in September, 1995.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 34% in the three months
ended March 29, 1996 as compared with the same period in 1995, from $54.1
million to $72.6 million. The Energy Equipment Group accounted for approximately
80% of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, which was
primarily due to the acquisition of Pyropower, Zack Power and Industrial Co.,
and TPA, Inc. in September, 1995. Approximately $4.0 million of the increase in
selling, general, and administrative expenses was attributable to the E & C
Group.
Other income in the three months ended March 29, 1996 as compared with March 31,
1995 increased to $10.5 million from $7.7 million. Approximately 50% of other
income in the three months ended March 29, 1996 was interest income. The
increase in other income was primarily attributable to an increase in foreign
exchange gains.
Other deductions in the three months ended March 29, 1996 increased $4.3
million, primarily due to higher interest expense and the increase in
amortization of intangible assets due to the Pyropower acquisition.
Net earnings increased by $5.5 million or 31% for the three months ended March
29, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995, from $17.9 million to $23.4
million. The Energy Equipment Group reported increased net earnings of $4.0
million primarily as a result of the Pyropower acquisition. The E & C Group also
reported increased net earnings of $1.0 million, primarily due to the improved
results of the Spanish subsidiary.
Financial Condition
The Corporation's consolidated financial condition improved during the three
months ended March 29, 1996 as compared to December 29, 1995. Stockholders'
equity for the three months ended March 29, 1996 increased $14.5 million.

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited)
------------------------------------------------------------
(Continued)
-----------
During the three months ended March 29, 1996, the Corporation's long-term
investments in land, buildings and equipment were $43.8 million as compared with
$9.3 million for the comparable period in 1995. Approximately $34 million was
invested by the Power Systems Group in build, own and operate projects during
the first three months of 1996. During the next few years, capital expenditures
will continue to be directed primarily toward strengthening and supporting the
Corporation's core businesses.
Since December 29, 1995, long-term debt, including current installments, and
bank loans increased by $86.1 million, net of repayments of $19.9 million,
primarily due to borrowings to fund the investments in build, own and operate
projects and to fund current working capital requirements.
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries enter
into contracts providing for assessment of damages for nonperformance or delays
in completion. Suits and claims have been or may be brought against the
Corporation by customers alleging deficiencies in either equipment design or
plant construction. Based on its knowledge of the facts and circumstances
relating to the Corporation's liabilities, if any, and to its insurance
coverage, management of the Corporation believes that the disposition of such
suits will not result in charges against assets or earnings materially in excess
of amounts previously provided in the accounts.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $205.7 million at March 29, 1996, an increase
of $38.5 million from fiscal year end 1995. In addition, short-term investments
increased by $32.2 million to $136.1 million. During the first three months of
fiscal 1996, the Corporation paid $7.9 million in dividends to stockholders and
repaid debt of $19.9 million. Cash flow provided by operating activities
amounted to $31.7 million. New borrowings totaled $106.0 million, resulting from
investments by the Power Systems Group in build, own and operate projects and
requirements to fund current working capital needs. In total, the Power Systems
Group invested approximately $34.0 million in the current construction of
waste-to-energy, cogeneration and hydrogen plants.
Over the last several years working capital needs have increased as a result of
the Corporation satisfying its customers' requests for more favorable payment
terms under contracts. Such requests generally include reduced advance payments
and more favorable payment schedules. Such terms, requiring the Corporation to
defer receipt of payments from its customers, had a negative impact on the
Corporation's available working capital. The management of the Corporation
expects its customers' requests for more favorable payment terms under Energy
Equipment contracts to continue as a result of the competitive markets in which
the Corporation operates. The Corporation intends to satisfy its continuing
working capital needs by borrowing under its Revolving Credit Facilities,
through internal cash generation and third-party financings in the capital
markets. The Corporation's pricing of contracts recognizes costs associated with
the use of working capital.

with cash flow from operating activities, amounts available under its Revolving
Credit Facilities and access to third-party financings in the capital markets
will be adequate to meet its working capital and liquidity needs for the
