              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1. General

    In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited consolidated condensed 
financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring 
accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated 
financial position as of June 30, 1994 and 1993 and its consolidated results of 
operations and cash flows for each of the three and nine month periods ended 
June 30, 1994 and 1993.  Although the Company believes that the disclosures in 
these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not 
misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (See the Company's Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1993 for the most recent 
annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles).  Certain balances on the Consolidated Statement of 
Financial Position at September 30, 1993 have been reclassified to conform to 
the June 30, 1994 presentation.  The results of operations for the three and 
nine months ended June 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results 
to be expected for the full year.

Note 2.  Income Per Common Share

    Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of 
shares outstanding during the respective periods (three months ended 
June 30, 1994 and 1993, 140,476,000 and 139,626,000, respectively; nine months 
ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, 140,454,000, and 139,016,000, respectively) and 
excludes the negligible dilutive effect of shares issuable in connection with 
employee stock plans.  Net income per common share has been adjusted for 
dividends on preferred stock of $3.0 million and $9.0 million for the three 
months and nine months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Note 3. Income Taxes

    The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective October 1, 1993.  Previously, the 
Company used SFAS No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  The cumulative effect 
of adopting SFAS No. 109 on the Company's consolidated financial statements was 
a credit to income of $25.5 million ($.18 per share).

    Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary 
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for 
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and 
(b) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  The tax effects of the 
Company's temporary differences and carryforwards at October 1, 1993 are as 
follows (in thousands):

         Deferred tax liabilities:
              Property                                           $  65,750
              Investments                                           35,600
              Excess costs arising from acquisitions                43,800
              Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries        23,000
              Other                                                 16,600
                                                                  --------
                   Total                                         $ 184,750
                                                                  ========

         Deferred tax assets:
              Receivables                                        $   5,700
              Inventory                                             48,900
              Postretirement benefits other than pensions           37,500
              Other liabilities                                     25,600
              Operating loss carryforwards                          51,350
              Tax credit carryforwards                              59,600
              Other                                                 12,150
                                                                  --------
                                                                   240,800
              Valuation allowance                                  (33,966)
                                                                  --------
                   Total                                         $ 206,834
                                                                  ========

    A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some 
portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate 
realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate 
sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future.  The 
valuation allowance relates to the realization of operating loss carryforwards 
in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions and foreign tax credit carryforwards in the 
U.S.

    As a result of applying SFAS No. 109, previously unrecorded deferred tax 
assets related to net deductible temporary differences, tax credit 
carryforwards and operating loss carryforwards were recognized at 
October 1, 1993 as part of the cumulative effect of adopting the statement.  
Under prior accounting, a part of these benefits would have been recognized as 
a reduction of income tax expense in the period utilized.  This is evident in 
the effective tax rate, adjusted for the unusual charges, for the three months 
and nine months ended June 30, 1993 of 24.5% and 29.0%, respectively.  
Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 109 at the beginning of 1994 had the 
effect of increasing the effective tax rate for the three months and nine 
months ended June 30, 1994 to 39.8% and 41.0%, respectively.

    The provision for income tax expense for the three months ended 
June 30, 1994 was $22.8 million, of which $18.3 million and $4.5 million is 
current and deferred expense, respectively.  The provision for income tax 
expense for the nine months ended June 30, 1994 was $51.8 million, of which 
$28.4 million and $23.4 million is current and deferred expense, respectively.

                           BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED

         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED


    In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 109, a benefit of $21.9 
million was allocated to capital in excess of par value in the first quarter of 
1994, which reflects the cumulative tax effect of stock options exercised by 
employees of the Company for which the Company has taken tax deductions in its 
federal tax return.

    Provision has been made for U.S. and additional foreign taxes for the 
anticipated repatriation of certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries of the 
Company.  The Company considers the undistributed earnings of its foreign 
subsidiaries above the amount already provided to be permanently reinvested.  
These additional foreign earnings could become subject to additional tax if 
remitted as a dividend, lent by the foreign subsidiary to the Company or if the 
Company should sell its stock in the subsidiary.  The additional amount of 
taxes payable are not practicable to estimate but the Company believes they 
would not be material due to offsetting foreign tax credits generated by the 
repatriation of such earnings.

Note 4. Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

    The Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement 
Benefits Other than Pensions" effective October 1, 1993.  The statement 
requires that the estimated cost of postretirement benefits other than pensions 
be accrued over the period earned rather than expensed as incurred.

    The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 106 on the immediate recognition 
basis, as of October 1, 1993, was a charge to income of $69.6 million ($.50 per 
share), net of an income tax benefit of $37.5 million.

    The Company provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits 
for substantially all U.S. employees.  In fiscal 1993 and 1992, the Company 
recognized $9.5 million and $8.4 million, respectively, as expense for 
postretirement health care and life insurance benefits.  Expense to be 
recognized in fiscal 1994 under SFAS No. 106 is expected to be approximately 
$8.8 million.  The Company's postretirement plans are not funded.  The status 
of the plan is as follows:

    Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation ("APBO") at October 1, 1993 
(in thousands):

         Retirees                                       $  73,300

                                              ======               ======

    The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the APBO as of 
October 1, 1993 was 12.2% for 1994 declining gradually each successive year 
until it reaches 5% in 2002, after which it remains constant.  A 1% increase in 
the trend rate for health care costs would have increased the APBO by 
approximately 8% and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components 
of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost by approximately 9%.  The 
assumed discount rate used in determining the APBO was 7%.

Note 5. Dispositions

    In March 1994, the Company announced its intent to dispose of the 
EnviroTech Pumpsystems ("EPS") group of companies.  EPS provides a variety of 
specialized pumps to the mineral, mining, chemical, petrochemical and municipal 
markets.  The decision to divest EPS is part of a continuing review of the 
Company's core product and service competencies.  Accordingly, the net assets 
of the EPS operations have been classified as a current asset at June 30, 1994, 
anticipating that the disposition will occur within twelve months.  EPS 
operating revenues have been reported in a manner similar to discontinued 
operations since March 1994.  As such, six months of EPS's revenues are 
included in 1994 and third quarter net operating results are reflected as a 
separate component in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.  EPS 
provided revenues and profits of $213.0 million and $15.0 million, 
respectively, in fiscal year 1993.  The proceeds from any disposition would be 
redeployed in a manner that will prevent dilution to future earnings.  Such 
action could include reduction of debt by repurchase or repayment.

    In July 1993, the Company announced that the EnviroTech Measurements & 
Controls ("EM&C") group of companies would no longer be considered part of its 
core business.  In March 1994, the Company completed the sale of EM&C.  The 
sale provided $128.4 million in cash and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $8.6 
million.  The sale excluded the computer peripherals business in Europe 
operated under the name of Tracor Europa.

Note 6. Unusual Charges (Credit)

    During the quarter ended June 30, 1994, the Company realized a gain of 
$19.3 million from the settlement of a suit against certain insurance carriers 
in the Parker & Parsley litigation.  See Note 7.

    During the first quarter of 1993, the Company recognized an unusual charge 
of $17.5 million in connection with reaching an agreement with representatives 
of the class plaintiffs for the settlement of a class action civil antitrust 
lawsuit concerning the marketing of tricone rock bits.  A cash payment was made 
in April 1993 of $17.5 million.  See Note 7.

    During the second quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company, along with Dresser 
Industries and Parker & Parsley Petroleum Development Incorporated, entered 
into a Memorandum of Understanding covering the settlement of all outstanding 
litigation among the parties.  In recognition of settlement, the Company 
recorded an unusual charge of $24.5 million.  A cash payment was made for the 
Company's portion in May 1993 of $57.5 million.  See Note 7.

Note 7. Litigation

PARKER & PARSLEY

    On September 8, 1992, Parker & Parsley Petroleum Development Incorporated 
("PDP") filed a lawsuit alleging intentional product delivery or service 
variances on a number of well stimulation projects in West Texas for PDP and 
certain related parties in the 238th Judicial District Court in Midland, Texas 
seeking in excess of $120.0 million in actual and punitive damages.  This case 
was similar to a case in federal court which had previously been vacated by the 
U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.  In connection with the initial public 
offering by BJ Services Company ("BJ"), the Company agreed to indemnify BJ for 
damages and costs of litigation arising out of said allegations or similar 
claims from any other customers prior to the date of the initial public 
offering.

    On May 26, 1993, the Company and Dresser Industries ("DI") made a cash 
payment, shared equally, of $115.0 million to PDP to settle all outstanding 
claims among the parties in this litigation.  The Company previously 
established a reserve for this litigation and also had access to additional 
third party funds from contractual arrangements.  Since the Company was unable 
to reach timely agreement with its insurance carriers, the Company recorded a 
charge to earnings of $24.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1993.  In 
April 1994 a settlement was reached with the insurance carriers.  A recovery of 
$19.3 million, net of expenses, was received in May 1994 and recognized as an 
unusual credit in the third quarter.

    In this regard, Ms. E. M. Filter, a director of the Company and an 
executive officer of Xerox Corporation, had disclosed that two subsidiaries of 
Talegen Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Xerox Financial Services, 
Inc., had been sued by the Company in connection with the litigation.  On 
June 17, 1991, the Company filed a Complaint against its insurers, including 
the two subsidiaries of Talegen Holdings, Inc., styled Baker Hughes 
Incorporated, et. al. v. Underwriters of Lloyds et. al. in the 333rd Judicial 
District Court in Harris County, Texas.  At the time of the settlement with
PDP, Ms. Filter advised the Company that a conflict of interest existed in this

GLYN SNELL

    On February 15, 1991, Glyn Snell, et. al. filed a class action suit on 
behalf of royalty interest owners in 238th Judicial District Court in Midland 
County, Texas, implicating DI, BJ, the Company and affiliates in damages to the 
same wells included in the PDP litigation.  On September 30, 1993, the Company 
and DI agreed to make a cash payment, shared equally, of $15.0 million to the 
class pursuant to a Settlement Agreement.  The Company made a payment of $7.5 
million on August 5, 1994.  Such amount was accrued at September 30, 1993 and 
June 30, 1994.

MISSION RESOURCES

    On June 30, 1992, the Company was notified of a suit against BJ and certain 
individual defendants filed by Mission Resources, Inc. - II ("Mission") in the 
Superior Court for the State of California for the County of Kern, alleging 
fraudulent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, breach of 
contract and violations of RICO in connection with product delivery or service 
variances on approximately 53 well stimulation projects performed by BJ-Hughes, 
in Kern County in late 1983 and early 1984.  Although the suit does not name 
the Company as a defendant, the allegations may fall within the Company's 
agreement, in connection with the initial public offering by BJ, to indemnify 
it for damages, if any, and costs of litigation arising out of any such 
claims.  BJ has removed the case to the United States District Court for the 
Eastern District of California, Fresno Division.  On January 27, 1994, Mission 
amended its complaint to include an allegation of negligence.  The suit seeks 
general damages in the amount of at least $15.0 million and treble damages in 
the amount of at least $45.0 million.  This case is in the early stages of 
discovery.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE INVESTIGATION

    On January 2, 1991, the Company and Hughes Christensen Company received a 
United States federal grand jury subpoena requesting documents relating to the 
marketing of tricone rock bits.  Six other tricone rock bit manufacturers 
received similar subpoenas with respect to the same investigation being 
conducted by the Department of Justice.

    On July 13, 1992, pursuant to an agreement with the Justice Department, HCC 
pleaded guilty to a one count criminal information alleging that it had 
conspired to fix the price of tricone rock bits for a period of nine weeks in 
1989 in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act.  A fine of $1.0 million was 
imposed by the Court upon acceptance of the plea.

    As a consequence of the Justice Department investigation, the Company and 
three other major producers of tricone rock bits were sued civilly by several 
litigants, including Red Eagle Resources Corporation Inc., alleging unspecified 
damages and claiming to represent a class of purchasers of such rock bits who

had been damaged as a consequence of a conspiracy in violation of Section 1 of 
the Sherman Act.  The civil suits have been consolidated in a single action in 
the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.  On September 8, 1992, the 
trial court entered an order provisionally certifying the case as a class 
action on behalf of all purchasers of insert and milled tooth tricone rock bits 
for domestic use from September 1986 to January 1992.  On January 27, 1993, the 
Company reached an agreement with the representatives of the class plaintiffs 
to settle this suit for $17.5 million.  On April 26, 1993, the settlement was 
approved by the Court and a judgement dismissing claims against the Company on 
behalf of the class was entered.  A charge to earnings of $17.5 million was 
recorded in the first quarter of 1993.  On September 17, 1993, the Court 
notified the class that an Additional Settlement Agreement had been entered 
into on behalf of the class with two other defendants.  Because the prior 
settlement with the Company contained a most favored nations clause requiring a 
refund to the Company if a later settlement with any other defendants is more 
favorable, the Company received a refund of $2.1 million in the first quarter 
of 1994.  One antitrust action by a customer whose claim represented four 
percent of the original class, but who had previously opted out of the class, 
was settled for $1.0 million. The payment was made by the Company on 
July 27, 1994.  Such amount was accrued at June 30, 1994.

TRW INC.

    On May 30, 1989, TRW Inc. ("TRW") filed suit against the Company, Bird 
Machine Company, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) ("BMC"), and 
Bird Incorporated (the previous parent of BMC), in the U.S. District Court for 
the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, alleging breach of express 
warranty, fraud, and breach of a duty of good faith and fair dealing, in 
connection with the sale of certain disc and decanter machines sold to TRW by 
BMC prior to the acquisition of BMC by the Company in 1989.  On April 29, 1992, 
the jury found that TRW had suffered damages.  The District Court, on 
July 30, 1992, entered a final judgment in the amount of $7.7 million together 
with prejudgment and post-judgment interest.  The United States Court of 
Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the District Court's decision, and 
denied the Company's appeal to rehear portions of the case in December 1993.  
In January 1994, the Company paid $10.4 million to TRW in satisfaction of the 
judgment.

Note 8. Debt

    In March 1994, the Company entered into an interest rate swap that will 
begin in October 1994 and mature in January 2000.  Under the terms of the swap, 
the Company will receive a fixed rate of interest (8.59%) and pay a floating 
rate ("LIBOR + 2.01%") of interest on a notional amount of $93.0 million.

    In April 1994, the Company issued 930 debenture purchase warrants for $7.0 
million which entitle the holders to purchase $93.0 million of the Company's 
debentures.  The warrants may be exercised from October 27, 1994 to 
January 27, 1995.  The Company believes that the holders of the warrants will 
exchange those warrants for $93.0 million of debentures prior to

January 27, 1995.  The debentures will mature on January 27, 2000, and have a 
fixed interest rate of 8.59%.

    During the third quarter of 1994, the Company recorded an extraordinary 
loss of $18.1 million ($11.8 million after tax) in connection with the 
repurchase of $58.6 million face amount of its outstanding 6% debentures due 
March 2002 for a net repurchase price of $53.4 million.  Subsequent to the 
third quarter of 1994, the Company repurchased another $9.0 million face amount 
of the same debentures, for a net repurchase price of $8.1 million resulting in 
a loss of $2.7 million which will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 1994.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

    Oilfield Operations companies manufacture, sell and provide services used 
in the drilling, completion and maintenance of oil and gas wells.  The business 
environment of the Company is significantly affected by worldwide expenditures 
of the petroleum industry.  Important factors establishing the levels of these 
expenditures include world economic conditions, crude oil and natural gas 
supply and demand balances, the legislative environment in the United States 
and other major countries, and developments in the Middle East and other major 
petroleum producing regions.

ACTIVITY INDICATORS

    Crude oil and natural gas prices are a major determinant of exploration and 
development expenditures.  (The amounts in the table below are quarter averages 
for the period.)

    U.S. Spot Natural Gas ($/mcf)          1.78      2.05       2.00      2.02

    Oil prices weakened in the third quarter and first nine months of 1994 
falling $1.83/Bbl or 9.3% and $3.68/Bbl or 18.4%, respectively, compared to the 
same periods a year ago.  The Company expects prices to be between $16 and 
$21/Bbl for the next several years.  U.S. natural gas prices began to weaken in 
the third quarter of 1994, decreasing 13.2% for the quarter and virtually flat 
for the nine months.  Prices are expected to increase modestly over the next 12 
months.  The Company believes that higher natural gas prices and a tightening 
market should stimulate exploration and development drilling directed towards 
natural gas.

    A more direct indicator of expenditures and drilling activity is the Baker 
Hughes rotary rig count.  Workover activity, as measured by the U.S. workover 
rig count, is also an indicator of expenditure activity.  (The amounts in the 
table below are quarter averages for the period.)

                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTINUED


    Total drilling activity was 6.4% higher in the third quarter of 1994 and 
5.0% higher in the first nine months of 1994 when compared to the same periods 
in 1993.  Activity increases in North America were offset by activity decreases 
in the non-North American markets.

North American Activity

    The North American rig count was up 17.5% for the quarter and 12.9% for the 
nine months.  Activity increases in the Gulf of Mexico drove an increase in the 
average offshore rig count from 75 to 108 rigs -- up 44.0% from the third 
quarter of 1993 and from 67 to 101 rigs -- up 50.7% from the first nine months 
of 1993.  The Company benefits from offshore drilling, more so than land 
drilling, as this type of activity requires the premium products and services 
offered by the Company.  The Canadian operations were also favorably impacted 
by the increase in gas drilling as Canadian rig activity was up 44.7% and 48.1% 
for the quarter and nine months year over year, respectively.  U.S. workover 
activity was down 8.2% for the quarter and 2.0% for the nine months from 1993 
levels.

    The outlook for North American activity continues to be positive as the 
Company expects gas-directed drilling to remain strong over the next year.  The 
average U.S. workover rig count is expected to remain flat over the next year.

Non-North American Activity

    Outside North America, activity continued to fall.  The average rig count 
was down 4.8% for the quarter and 3.9% for the nine months.  The fall was 
widespread as most regions showed a decrease in activity.  Two areas of 
particular importance to the Company that were down significantly were Italy 
and Nigeria.  The Company expects little change in international activity over 
the near term.  Political issues and volatility in crude oil prices will 
continue to create uncertainty in key international markets.

DISPOSITIONS

    In March 1994, the Company announced its intent to dispose of the 
EnviroTech Pumpsystems ("EPS") group of companies.  EPS provides a variety of 
specialized pumps to the mineral, mining, chemical, petro-chemical and 
municipal markets.  The decision to divest EPS is part of a continuing review 
of the Company's core product and service competencies.  Accordingly, the net 
assets of the EPS operations have been classified as a current asset at 
June 30, 1994, anticipating that the disposition will occur within twelve 
months.  EPS provided revenues and profits of $210.0 million and $15.0 million, 
respectively, in the fiscal year 1993.  The proceeds from any disposition would 
be redeployed in a manner that will prevent dilution to future earnings.  Such 
action could include reduction of debt by repurchase or repayment.

    In July, 1993, the Company announced that the EnviroTech Measurements & 
Controls ("EM&C") group of companies would no longer be considered part of its 
core business.  In March 1994, the Company completed the sale of EM&C.  The

million.  The sale excluded the computer peripherals business in Europe 
operated under the name of Tracor Europa.

                                       =======   =======      =======   =======

    Consolidated revenues for the three months and nine months ended 
June 30, 1994 decreased 11.9% and 8.9%, respectively, compared to the same 
periods last year.  Consolidated revenues in 1994 were impacted by the revenues 
of disposed businesses.  EM&C was sold in March 1994 and EPS is in the process 
of being sold.  Due to the pending sale of EPS, its results have been reported 
in a manner similar to discontinued operations since March 1994.  As such, six 
months of EPS's revenues are included in the nine months ended June 30, 1994.  
EPS's third quarter net operating results are reflected as a separate component 
in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.  EPS's third quarter 
revenues were $56.6 million.

    Revenue from ongoing businesses were up 3.9% for the quarter and 2.2% for 
the nine months.  Oilfield Operations represents approximately 88% of this 
total with the remaining 12% represented by the Process Equipment Operations 
(formerly EnviroTech Process Equipment).  Much of the improvement in Oilfield 
Operations sales, services and rentals revenue is attributable to increased

drilling activity in the Western Hemisphere, fueled in large part by natural 
gas drilling.  Offsetting this trend was a decline in the average number of 
workover rigs running in the U.S..  However, much of the improvement in the 
Western Hemisphere markets was offset by declines in the European and West 
Africa Markets, most notably in geographic areas where Oilfield Operations 
enjoys significant revenue on a per rig basis.  Process Equipment Operations 
sales, service and rental revenues reported a slight decline year over year.  
Continued general weakness in the worldwide economy and project deferrals due 
to financing delays resulted in the revenue decline.

    Cost of sales, cost of services and rentals, research and engineering 
expenses and marketing and field service expenses decreased in the 1994 periods 
in line with the revenue decreases.  General and administrative expenses, which 
are less sensitive to changes in revenue, decreased for the quarter and 
remained virtually unchanged for the nine months compared to the prior year.  
The decrease for the quarter is reflective of the impact of disposed businesses 
offset by foreign exchange losses of $2.3 million from the devaluation of the 
Venezuelan Bolivar incurred in the third quarter of 1994.  Additionally a net 
gain of $2.0 million was recorded in the second quarter of 1993 in connection 
with the termination of a defined benefit pension plan.  Amortization of 
goodwill and other intangibles has decreased because of the sale of EM&C.

    Offsetting the $8.6 million gain recorded on the sale of EM&C in the nine 
months ended June 30, 1994, the Company provided a reserve of $4.4 million to 
discontinue certain Oilfield Operations in Mexico, recorded a $2.1 million 
provision to writedown certain excess facilities to their net realizable value 
and accrued $2.0 million for certain litigation.

Unusual Charges (Credit)

    1994:  During the quarter ended June 30, 1994, the Company realized a gain 
of $19.3 million, net of expenses from the settlement of a suit against certain 
insurance carriers in the Parker & Parsley litigation.  See Note 7.

    1993:  During the first quarter of 1993, the Company recognized a charge of 
$17.5 million relating to an agreement for the settlement of the civil 
antitrust litigation involving the marketing of tricone rockbits.  During the 
second quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company, along with Dresser Industries and 
Parker & Parsley Petroleum Development Incorporated, entered into a Memorandum 
of Understanding covering the settlement of all outstanding litigation among 
the parties.  In recognition of settlement, the Company recorded an unusual 
charge of $24.5 million.  Cash payments totaling $75 million were made during 
the third quarter of 1993.

Interest Expense

    Interest expense in the third quarter of 1994 increased $.5 million from 
the same quarter a year ago.  In the third quarter of 1993, a reversal of $1.3 
million of accrued interest was recorded from settlements with the IRS.  This 
reversal coupled with the expiration of an interest rate swap agreement in 
February of 1994 resulted in the increase for the quarter.  Interest expense 
for the first nine months of 1994 decreased $4.2 million compared to 1993.  The 
decrease for the nine months is attributable to lower effective interest rates 
coupled with a decrease in total debt outstanding.

    Interest income decreased $.9 million and $2.7 million for the quarter and 
nine months, respectively, compared to 1993.  The decreases were due to the 
repayment of notes receivables in 1994 and a decrease in short-term 
investments.

Income Taxes

    The effective income tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months 
of 1994 was 39.8% and 41.0%, respectively, as compared to 81.4% and 75.9%, 
respectively, in 1993.  The Company determined its tax provision in 1993 under 
SFAS No. 96.  The effective rate in 1993 differs from the federal statutory 
rate due primarily to nondeductible goodwill amortization, unusual charges for 
which a benefit is not currently recognizable and foreign earnings taxed at 
higher effective tax rates.  The Company determined its tax provision for 1994 
under SFAS No. 109.  The effective rate for 1994 differs from the federal 
statutory rate due primarily to nondeductible goodwill amortization, 
disallowance of certain expenses and foreign earnings taxed at higher effective 
tax rates.

Extraordinary Loss

    During the third quarter of 1994, the Company recorded an extraordinary 
loss of $18.1 million ($11.8 million after tax) in connection with the

repurchase of $58.6 million face amount of its outstanding 6% debentures due 
March 2002 for a net repurchase price of $53.4 million.  Subsequent to the 
third quarter of 1994, the Company repurchased another $9.0 million face amount 
of the same debentures, for a net repurchase price of $8.1 million resulting in 
a loss of $2.7 million which will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 1994.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Financing Activities

    Net cash outflows from financing activities were $159.1 million in the 
first nine months of 1994 compared to cash inflows of $96.6 million in the 
first nine months of 1993.  The Company used the proceeds from the sale of EM&C 
to reduce debt levels.  Borrowings were used in 1994 and 1993 to fund operating 
needs.  In December 1992, the Company used cash to redeem in full its 9% 
debentures for $18.2 million.  In May 1993, the Company sold $385.3 million 
principal amount at maturity of Liquid Yield Option Notes ("LYONs").  The LYONs 
provided approximately $224.1 million in net proceeds which were used to repay 
commercial paper borrowings incurred to fund acquisitions and working capital 
needs.

    During the third quarter of 1994, the Company repurchased $58.6 million 
face amount of its outstanding 6% debentures for $53.4 million.

    Total debt outstanding at June 30, 1994 was $860.0 million, compared to 
$944.3 million at September 30, 1993.  The debt to equity ratio was .531 at 
June 30, 1994, compared to .586 at September 30, 1993.

    At June 30, 1994, the Company had $519.3 million of credit facilities with 
commercial banks, of which $350.2 million is committed.  These facilities are 
subject to normal banking terms and conditions and do not materially restrict 
the Company's activities.

Investing Activities

    Net cash inflows from investing activities were $79.4 million in the first 
nine months of 1994 compared to cash outflows of $58.5 million in the first 
nine months of 1993.  The sale of EM&C in March 1994 provided $128.4 million in 
cash.  Property additions have decreased from $87.9 million in 1993 to $77.2 
million in 1994.  The ratio of capital expenditures to depreciation has 
decreased slightly over the same period from 85.1% to 82.2%.  The Company 
targets a capital expenditure to depreciation ratio of approximately 80% which 
it believes is adequate to support current levels of operations.  The majority 
of the capital expenditures have been in the Oilfield segment where the largest 
single item is the expenditure for rental tools and equipment to supplement the 
rental fleet.  Funds provided from operations and outstanding lines of credit 
are expected to be more than adequate to meet future capital expenditure 
requirements.

Operating Activities

    Net cash inflows from operating activities were $114.9 million in the first 
nine months of 1994 compared to cash outflows of $14.2 million in the first 
nine months of 1993.  The increase of $129.1 million in 1994 was due primarily 
to the collection of receivables and an increase in income before extraordinary 
loss and cumulative effect of accounting changes.  Also contributing to the 
increase is the payment of legal settlements, unusual charges, and Teleco 
acquisition costs accrued in prior years but paid during 1993.  Cash was used 
to build inventories in Oilfield Operations due to increased activity in the 
U.S., Canada and Latin America compared to 1993.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

    In December 1990, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 106, "Employers' 
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions".  The statement
requires accrual basis accounting for future postretirement benefits rather 
than cash basis accounting.  The Company adopted this statement effective 
October 1, 1993.

    The Company elected to immediately recognize the cumulative effect of the 
change in accounting and recorded a charge of $107.1 million ($69.6 million net 
of income tax benefit) in the first quarter of 1994.

Accounting for Income Taxes

    In February 1992, the FASB issued SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income 
Taxes".  The statement requires an asset and liability approach for financial 
accounting and reporting of income taxes.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 109 
effective October 1, 1993, without restatement of prior years and recorded a 
credit to income of $25.5 million in the first quarter of 1994.

    The Company established valuation reserves for certain of its deferred tax 
assets which management deemed the realization was not likely to occur.  In the 
U.S. jurisdiction, the Company has fully reserved the credit portion of all its 
foreign tax credit carryforwards based on a recent historical pattern of 
expiring foreign tax credits and the lack of foreign sourced taxable income in 
amounts sufficient to utilize the foreign tax credit carryforwards.  The 
Company has also reserved the operating loss carryforwards in certain non-U.S. 
jurisdictions where its operations have decreased, currently ceased or the 
Company has withdrawn entirely.

    The Company has not established valuation reserves on its remaining 
deferred tax assets.  Management believes that sufficient sources of taxable 
income will occur in the applicable future periods so that these tax assets 
will be utilized.  This judgement is based on recent profitable operations, 
before unusual charges, in the appropriate jurisdictions.

                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTINUED


    The adoption of SFAS No. 109 has the practical effect of allowing the 
Company to report its tax assets, net of valuation reserves, on the 
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  Additionally, the statement 
allows the netting of the noncurrent deferred tax assets and liabilities within 
the same taxing jurisdiction.  The Company has used this approach in reporting 
its tax accounts in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at 
June 30, 1994.

Postemployment Benefits

    In November 1992, the FASB issued SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for 
Postemployment Benefits".  The statement, like SFAS 106, requires accrual basis 
accounting for such benefits as opposed to cash basis accounting.  The Company 
plans to adopt SFAS No. 112 in fiscal 1995 and immediately recognize the 
cumulative effect of the change in accounting.  The Company currently estimates 
an accumulated postemployment benefit obligation at October 1, 1994 of 
approximately $23.0 million.

Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

    In May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain 
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", that will supersede SFAS No. 12 
that required marketable equity securities be carried at lower of aggregate
cost or market.  As it relates to the Company, SFAS No. 115 requires that 
investments in debt and equity securities should be reported at fair value with 
changes in the fair value recorded in a separate component of stockholders' 
equity.  The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 115 in fiscal 1995 and currently 
estimates it will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial 
statements.
