             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 December 31, 1994 and its consolidated results of 
operations and cash flows for each of the three month periods ended 
December 31, 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, 1994 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, 1994 have 
been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 1994 presentation.  The 
results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 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 
December 31, 1994 and 1993, 140,977,000 and 140,422,000, 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 for the three months ended 
December 31, 1994 and 1993.


Note 3. Postemployment Benefits

    The Company provides certain postemployment benefits consisting primarily 
of long-term disability income benefits, which are fully funded, and long-term 
disability medical benefits, which are unfunded.  The Company adopted 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 112, "Employers' 
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," effective October 1, 1994.  The 
accounting standard requires the accrual method of accounting rather than cash 
basis accounting, which was previously used by the Company.  The Company 
recognized a charge to income of $14.6 million ($.10 per share), net of an 
income tax benefit of $7.9 million, as the cumulative effect of the change in 
accounting principle.  Annual expense under SFAS No. 112 for 1995 is expected 
to be approximately $2.5 million, which is not significantly different from 
the actual cash payments.

Note 4. Disposition

    The Company sold the EnviroTech Pumpsystems ("Pumpsystems") group of 
companies in September 1994.  The decision to divest Pumpsystems was part of a 
continuing review of the Company's core product and service competencies.  The 
Pumpsystems sale provided approximately $210.0 million in proceeds and 
resulted in a gain of $101.0 million.  Pumpsystems had $48.1 million of 
revenue in the first quarter of 1994.

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.)

    Quarter Ending December 31,                        1994           1993

    U.S. Spot Natural Gas ($/mcf)                      1.49           2.03

    Oil prices strengthened in the first quarter of 1995 rising $1.18/Bbl or 
7.2% compared to the same period a year ago.  The Company expects prices to 
trend upwards in 1995 and 1996 while remaining susceptible to short-term price 
fluctuations.  U.S. natural gas prices were softer than expected, decreasing 
26.6% from the prior year.  Higher natural gas production and a mild winter 
were the major causes for the price decline.  Prices are expected to 
strengthen slightly in the remainder of 1995 but will still be lower than 
prices in 1994.  The Company believes that higher natural gas prices and a 
tightening market would 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.)

                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTINUED


North American Activity

    The North American rig count was up 2.4% from 1994.  Activity increases in 
the Gulf of Mexico drove an increase in the average offshore rig count from 98 
to 104 rigs -- up 6.1% from the first quarter of 1994.  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 favorable impacted by the increase in natural 
gas drilling as Canadian rig activity was up 28.2% in 1995.  Workover activity 
declined 10.2% from 1994 levels.

    The Company is cautiously optimistic that drilling activity will remain 
strong in North America in 1995.  The Company anticipates that reduced gas 
prices and high pipeline utilization will take the edge off Canada's drilling 
boom.  In the U.S., the Company is expecting a modest decrease in gas-directed 
drilling to be offset by a modest increase in oil-directed drilling.  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 6.5% from the first quarter of 1994.  The fall was widespread 
throughout the Eastern Hemisphere as most regions showed a decrease in 
activity.  The decline was offset somewhat by Latin America activity which was 
up 18.8%.  Two areas of particular importance to the Company that were down 
significantly were Italy and Nigeria where political and social issues 
affected drilling activity.  The Company expects little change in activity in 
the Eastern Hemisphere over the near term as political issues and volatility 
in crude oil prices will continue to create uncertainty.  In Latin America, 
the Company expects to see continued growth in drilling activity in 1995 led 
by Venezuela, Argentina and Colombia.

DISPOSITION

    The Company sold the EnviroTech Pumpsystems ("Pumpsystems") group of 
companies in September 1994.  The decision to divest Pumpsystems and EM&C was 
part of a continuing review of the Company's core product and service 
competencies.  The Pumpsystems sale provided approximately $210.0 million in 
proceeds and resulted in a gain of $101.0 million.  Pumpsystems had $48.1 
million of revenue in the first quarter of 1994.

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

    Consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 1995 decreased 2.8% 
compared to the same quarter last year.  The results of Pumpsystems have been 
reported in a manner similar to discontinued operations since March 1994 which 
represents the date at which the decision to divest the business was made.

    Revenues from ongoing operations were up 5.3%.  Oilfield Operations 
currently represent approximately 89% of consolidated revenues with the 
remaining 11% represented by Process Equipment Operations.  Oilfield 
Operations reported revenues of $537.8 million for the quarter, an improvement 
of 4.5% from the first quarter of 1994.  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 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, 
services and rentals revenue increased $10.5 million to $69.1 million in the 
first quarter of 1995.  The majority of this improvement comes from non U.S. 
sales where an improved worldwide economy drove the revenue favorability.

consolidated operating income:

    Operating Income from Ongoing Operations                52.8        40.3
                                                          ======      ======

    Consolidated operating income increased 21.1% in the first quarter of 1995 
compared to the first quarter of 1994.  Operating income from ongoing 
operations, which excludes Pumpsystems operating income, increased 31.0% 
compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increases result from 
improved revenues and the impact of various cost containment measures, 
including the ongoing benefits from the consolidation of several divisions in 
prior years.

Costs and Expenses

    In general, operating expenses have fluctuated within a narrow band as a 
percentage of consolidated revenues as the Company manages expenses both in 
absolute terms and as a function of revenues.

    Cost of sales, cost of services and rentals, research and engineering 
expenses and marketing and field service expenses decreased in the first 
quarter of 1995 in line with the revenue decreases associated with the 
disposition of Pumpsystems.  General and administrative expenses, which are 
less sensitive to changes in revenue, decreased $9.0 million or 16.9% in 
1995.  The decrease in 1995 is reflective of the impact of the Pumpsystems 
disposition ($3.5 million) and the realization of various cost containment 
measures ($5.5 million).

Interest Expense

    Interest expense in the first quarter of 1995 decreased $3.7 million from 
the same quarter in 1994.  The decrease was attributable primarily to the 
repurchase or defeasance in the third and fourth quarters of 1994 of all the 
outstanding 6% discount debentures which had an effective rate of 14.66%.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Financing Activities

    Net cash inflows from financing activities were $58.6 million in the first 
quarter of 1995 compared to $38.0 million in the first quarter of 1994.  Total 
debt outstanding at December 31, 1994 was $733.0 million, compared to $653.3

million at September 30, 1994.  The debt to equity ratio was .455 at 
December 31, 1994, compared to .399 at September 30, 1994.

    In April 1994, the Company issued debenture purchase warrants under 
favorable terms for $7.0 million which entitle the holders to purchase $93.0 
million of the Company's debentures.  In the first quarter of 1995, certain 
holders exercised warrants and purchased $78.0 million of debentures.  
Subsequent to December 31, 1994, the remaining warrants were exercised and 
$15.0 million of debentures were purchased.  In the first quarter of 1994, the 
Company increased total debt to fund operating needs while at the same time 
taking advantage of lower interest rates to reduce the weighted average 
effective interest rate on its debt portfolio.

    At December 31, 1994, the Company had $718.4 million of credit facilities 
with commercial banks, of which $499.4 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 outflows from investing activities were $20.3 million in the 
first quarter of 1995 compared to $16.9 million in the first quarter of 1994.  
Property additions decreased only slightly quarter over quarter.  The ratio of 
capital expenditures to depreciation has increased over the same period from 
82.0% to 89.5%.  The majority of the capital expenditures have been in 
Oilfield Operations 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.  The Company expects 
1995 capital expenditures to be between $120.0 million and $140.0 million as 
it focuses on replacing capital in amounts comparable to annual depreciation.

Operating Activities

    Net cash outflows from operating activities were $10.1 million in the 
first quarter of 1995 compared to $7.2 million in the first quarter of 1994.  
The increase of $2.9 million was due primarily to the settlement of 
liabilities offset by a decrease in the buildup of inventories and the 
increase in net income adjusted for noncash items.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Postemployment Benefits

    In November 1992, the FASB issued SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for 
Postemployment Benefits".  The statement requires accrual basis accounting for 
such benefits as opposed to cash basis accounting.  The Company adopted SFAS 
No. 112 effective October 1, 1994 and immediately recognized the cumulative 
effect of the change in accounting recording a charge to income of $14.6 
million ($.10 per share), net of an income tax benefit of $7.9 million.  
Expense under SFAS No. 112 for 1995 related to these benefits is not expected 
to be significantly different from actual cash payments.
