ATTACHMENT A
HANOVER COMPRESSOR COMPANY
PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS


On August 31, 2000, Hanover Compressor Company (the "Company") acquired the
compression services division of Dresser-Rand Company ("CSD-DR") from Ingersoll-
Rand Company for approximately $177 million of the Company's common stock and
cash. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and the results of
operations for the acquired business have been included in the Company's
historical financial statements commencing September 1, 2000.

The accompanying pro forma combined condensed statements of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and for the year ended December 31, 1999
present the pro forma results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition
had occurred on January 1, 1999. A pro forma combined condensed balance sheet
has not been provided because the impact of the acquisition of CSD-DR is already
reflected in the Company's historical consolidated balance sheet at September
30, 2000. The accompanying pro forma combined condensed statements of operations
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The historical information for
CSD-DR is for the eight months ended August 31, 2000 and the year ended
December 31, 1999. Historical financial statements for CSD-DR as of June 30,
2000 and December 31, 1999 have been included in the Company's Current Report on
Form 8-K/A dated November 13, 2000.

The Pro Forma Statements of Operations are based on certain assumptions and
preliminary estimates that are subject to change. The Pro Forma Statements of
Operations do not purport to be indicative of the results which would actually
have been obtained had the acquisition been completed on the date indicated or
which may be obtained in the future.

The pro forma adjustments which have been made to the accompanying Pro Forma
Statements of Operations are described below:

a)   Reflects the adjustment to CSD-DR's historical revenue and operating
     expenses to conform to the Company's accounting policy to recognize revenue
     from compressor fabrication utilizing the percentage-of-completion method.
     CSD-DR recognized revenue from compressor fabrication when the compressor
     was shipped to the customer.
b)   Reflects reclassification of CSD-DR's depreciation expense to conform to
     the Company's financial statement presentation.
c)   Reflects the reversal of certain CSD-DR's historical operating expenses to
     conform to the Company's accounting policies for capitalization of fixed
     assets.
d)   Reflects the elimination of CSD-DR's historical depreciation and
     amortization expense and interest expense.
e)   Reflects the depreciation expense on the fair value of CSD-DR's property,
     plant and equipment that is estimated to be approximately $121 million. For
     the purposes of this adjustment, the Company utilized a fifteen-year
     average depreciable life and a twenty-percent salvage value. This estimate
     is consistent with the Company's current estimates for similar equipment
     and facilities.
f)   Reflects the amortization of approximately $18 million of goodwill recorded
     by the Company in its preliminary purchase price allocation. The goodwill
     is being amortized over a 20-year period on a straight-line basis.
g)   Reflects the interest expense resulting from approximately $95 million of
     debt incurred in connection with the acquisition. The interest rate in
     effect at the date of acquisition was approximately 7.5% and is utilized in
     the calculation of this adjustment.
h)   Reflects the adjustment to the pro forma combined provision for income
     taxes to reflect the Company's effective income tax rate of 37.2% and 36.4%
     for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and the year ended December
     31, 1999, respectively.
i)   Reflects the additional weighted average common and common equivalent
     shares outstanding as if the common stock had been issued for the
     acquisition on January 1, 1999.

(1)  The selected historical financial information includes the results of
     operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  During 1995,
     the Company acquired Astra Resources Compression, Inc., a significant
     subsidiary.

(2)  In order to more accurately reflect the estimated useful lives of natural
     gas compressor units in the rental fleet; effective January 1, 1996 the
     Company changed the lives over which these units are depreciated from 12 to
     15 years.  The effect of this change was a decrease in depreciation expense
     of $2.6 million and an increase in net income of $1.5 million ($.03 per
     diluted common share) for the year ended December 31, 1996.

(3)  In June 2000, the Company completed a 2 for 1 stock split effected in the
     form of a 100% stock dividend. All weighted average and common equivalent
     shares and earnings per common share information have been restated for all
     periods presented to reflect this stock split.

     service requirements.  EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative
     performance measure prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles.
