              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, 1995 and its consolidated results of 
operations and cash flows for each of the three and nine month periods ended 
June 30, 1995 and 1994.  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 Condensed 
Statement of Financial Position at September 30, 1994 have been reclassified to 
conform to the June 30, 1995 presentation.  The results of operations for the 
three and nine months ended June 30, 1995 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, 1995 and 1994, 141,163,000 and 140,476,000, respectively; nine months 
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, 141,057,000 and 140,454,000, respectively) and 
excludes the negligible dilutive effect of shares issuable in connection with 
employee stock plans.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the Company 
repurchased four million shares of its convertible preferred stock for $167.0 
million.  The estimated fair market value of the shares of convertible 
preferred stock was $149.4 million at the date of issuance.  The repurchase 
price in excess of this amount ($17.6 million) has been deducted from net 
income in arriving at net income per share of common stock for the three and 
nine months ended June 30, 1995.  The $17.6 million excess equates to $.12 per 
share of common stock.  In addition, the per share amount for the three and 
nine months ended June 30, 1995 has been adjusted for dividends on the 
preferred stock of $2.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively, and the per 
share amount for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1994 has been 
adjusted for dividends on the preferred stock of $3.0 million and $9.0 million, 
respectively.


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

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

    Oilfield Operations companies manufacture, sell and provide products and 
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.)

    U.S. Spot Natural Gas ($/mcf)          1.44      1.78       1.42      2.00

    Oil prices strengthened year over year.  In the third quarter and first 
nine months of 1995 oil prices rose $1.45/Bbl or 8.1% and $2.11/Bbl or 12.9% 
compared to the same periods a year ago.  However, oil prices have recently 
fallen to below $18.00/Bbl.  The Company expects prices to remain relatively 
flat while susceptible to short-term price fluctuations.  U.S. natural gas 
prices were lower, decreasing 19.1% for the quarter and 29.0% for the nine 
months.  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.

    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.)

<PAGE>
          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTINUED


North American Activity

    The North American rig count was down 9.1% for the quarter and 2.8% for the 
nine months in comparison to the same periods in 1994.  The decrease for the 
quarter is due to a decline in all three areas of rig activity:  7.2% decline 
in the average U.S. land rigs, 11.1% decline in the average U.S. offshore rigs 
and 14.6% decline in the Canadian rigs.  The decrease for the nine months is 
primarily due to the decline in the U.S. rig counts, land - 6.9% and offshore - 
2.0%.  The Canadian rig activity was up for the nine months by 9.4% reflecting 
its strong performance in the first six months of 1995 partially offset by the 
third quarter decline.  U.S. workover activity increased 8.9% over the prior 
year quarter and declined 2.9% over the prior year nine months.

    As the Company anticipated, the reduced gas prices and high pipeline 
utilization took the edge off Canada's drilling boom.  The Canadian activity 
for the remainder of the year is expected to remain low falling short of the 
1994 levels.  In the U.S., the Company is expecting a decrease in gas-directed 
drilling to be partially offset by a modest increase in oil-directed drilling.  
U.S. workover activity is expected to remain flat over the next year.

Non-North American Activity

    Outside North America, activity was up 2.8% for the quarter and down 1.3% 
for the nine months.  Most regions in the Eastern Hemisphere were flat or down 
compared to 1994 activity levels except the North Sea, which increased 
slightly.  Latin America activity increased 16.2% for the quarter and 20.7% for 
the nine months.  The Company expects a modest increase in North Sea activity 
with little change in activity in the remainder of 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 over the remainder of 1995 led by 
Venezuela, Argentina and Colombia.

OTHER MATTERS

    In May 1995, President Clinton issued an executive order prohibiting 
virtually all trade transactions between the U.S. and Iran.  The exact scope of 
the restrictions will not be known until the implementing regulations of the 
U.S. Department of Treasury are issued, the timing of which is imminent.  At 
June 30, 1995, the Company, through its non-U.S. subsidiaries, had receivables 
from the National Iranian Oil Company ("NIOC") in an amount of approximately 
one percent of stockholders' equity.  Such receivables with interest are 
currently being paid pursuant to an agreement with the NIOC.  It is not 
possible to predict with any accuracy how the current state of U.S.-Iran 
relations will impact the Company's ability to collect these receivables.  
Sales to Iran in the year ended September 30, 1994 and in the nine months ended 
June 30, 1995 were not significant.

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 $96.5 million in the first six 
months of 1994.

    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 for the third quarter of 1995 were up 
13.2%.  Oilfield Operations currently represent approximately 87% of 
consolidated revenues with the remaining 13% represented by Process Equipment 
Operations.  Oilfield Operations reported revenues of $574.5 million for the 
quarter and $1.68 billion for the nine months, an improvement of 11.6% and 7.5% 
from the third quarter and first nine months of 1994, respectively, in spite of 
declines in worldwide rig activity.  This is a result of a proactive strategy 
to improve the amount of revenue and profits per working rig.  Our strategy is 
to position the Company in the markets that will grow without corresponding 
growth in rig activity.  Oilfield Operations is well positioned in growing 
markets whether these markets are defined by geography (Latin America and North 
Sea) or products and services (horizontal and directional drilling, re-entry 
and multilateral drilling and completions).  Process Equipment Operations

sales, services and rentals revenue increased 24.3% to $93.9 million in the 
third quarter of 1995 and increased 20.3% to $245.4 million in the first nine 
months of 1995.  An improving worldwide economy drove the revenue favorability 
in international markets particularly in Southeast Asia, China and Latin 
America.

    Consolidated operating income decreased 7.5% in the third quarter of 1995 
and increased 4.5% in the first nine months of 1995 when compared to 1994.  
Operating income from ongoing operations, which excludes Pumpsystems operating 
income and an unusual credit from the cash settlement of a suit against certain 
insurance carriers in the Parker & Parsley litigation, increased 41.6% for the 
quarter and 29.0% for the nine months 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 and marketing and field service 
expenses increased for the quarter and nine months ending June 30, 1995, 
compared to 1994, in line with the revenue increases.  Research and engineering 
decreased for the quarter due primarily to the reorganizations and 
consolidations at Baker Hughes INTEQ.  Research and engineering decreased for 
the nine months due primarily to the disposition of Pumpsystems and the Baker 
Hughes INTEQ decrease mentioned above.  General and administrative expenses, 
which are less sensitive to changes in revenue, increased $4.8 million in the 
third quarter of 1995 and increased $1.5 million in the first nine months of 
1995, compared to 1994.  The increase in the third quarter is due primarily to 
increases in insurance and legal spending and the termination of a non-U.S. 
benefit plan.  The increase for the nine months is reflective of the impact of

the Pumpsystems disposition offset by the increase incurred in the second and 
third quarter of 1995.

Interest Expense

    Interest expense in the third quarter of 1995 decreased $2.4 million from 
the same quarter in 1994.  In the first nine months of 1995, interest expense 
decreased $9.0 million compared to 1994.  The decreases are attributable 
primarily to the repurchase or defeasance of all the outstanding 6% discount 
debentures in the third and fourth quarters of 1994.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Financing Activities

    Net cash outflows from financing activities were $53.3 million in the first 
nine months of 1995 compared to net cash outflows of $159.1 million in the 
first nine months of 1994.  Total debt outstanding at June 30, 1995 was $826.2 
million, compared to $653.3 million at September 30, 1994.  The debt to equity 
ratio was .557 at June 30, 1995, compared to .399 at September 30, 1994.

    In April 1994, the Company issued debenture purchase warrants under 
favorable terms for $7.0 million which entitled 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.  In the 
second quarter of 1995, the remaining warrants were exercised and $15.0 million 
of debentures were purchased.  During the first nine months of 1994, the 
Company used the proceeds from the sale of noncore businesses to reduce debt 
level.

    In June 1995, the Company repurchased the four million shares of its 
convertible preferred stock, previously issued to Sonat Inc., for $167.0 
million.  Existing cash on hand and borrowings from commercial paper and 
revolving credit facilities funded the repurchase.

    At June 30, 1995, the Company had $627.5 million of credit facilities with 
commercial banks, of which $401.1 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 $74.4 million in the first 
nine months of 1995 compared to net cash inflows of $79.4 million in the first 
nine months of 1994.

    Proceeds from the disposal of assets and noncore businesses generated $22.2 
million in 1995 and $156.6 million in 1994.  Property additions increased in 
1995 compared to 1994.  The ratio of capital expenditures to depreciation has 
increased over the same period from 82.2% to 111.3%.  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 inflows from operating activities were $73.4 million in the first 
nine months of 1995 compared to net cash inflows of $115.0 million in the first 
nine months of 1994.  The decline in cash inflows is due primarily to an 
increase in receivables in line with the increased revenues, an increase in 
other operating assets to support the increased operating levels and the 
settlement of liabilities.

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.
