Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

ITEM 1. BUSINESS OF DRESSER.
Dresser Industries, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (hereinafter "Dresser" or "Registrant" or the "Company") is a supplier of highly engineered products, technical services and project management for hydrocarbon energy- related activities that are primarily utilized in oil and gas drilling, production and transmission; gas distribution; power generation; gas processing; petroleum refining and marketing; and petrochemical production. Demand for Dresser's products and services are generally determined by global demand for energy and oil and gas by-products. Dresser was incorporated under the laws of Delaware in 1956 as a successor to a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 1938 by the consolidation of S. R. Dresser Manufacturing Company and Clark Bros. Company. Both were carrying on businesses founded in 1880. Dresser's executive offices are located at 2001 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75201 (telephone number 214/740-6000).
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, consolidated revenues of Registrant amounted to $5,330.7 million. A majority of such revenues was derived from the sale of products and services to energy-oriented industries, including oil and gas exploration, drilling and production, gas transmission and distribution; petroleum and chemical processing; production of electricity; and marketing of petroleum products.
Registrant's operations are divided into three industry segments: Oilfield Services; Hydrocarbon Processing Industry; and Engineering Services.
Effective January 28, 1994, Registrant sold its 29.5% interest in Western Atlas International, Inc. to a wholly owned subsidiary of Litton Industries, Inc.
On January 19, 1994 shareholders of Registrant voted to approve the merger (the "Merger") of BCD Acquisition Corporation ("BCD"), a wholly owned Subsidiary of Registrant, into Baroid Corporation ("Baroid"). The Merger was effective January 21, 1994. Shareholders of Baroid received 37,286,662 million shares of Registrant's Common Stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Baroid. In addition, approximately 3.6 million shares of Registrant's Common Stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase Baroid common stock and for issuance pursuant to certain benefit plans assumed by Registrant. For financial reporting purposes, the Merger was treated as a pooling of interests. Baroid operations include drilling fluids, drilling services and products and offshore services businesses, and are included in the Oilfield Services segment. Further information concerning Baroid is included in the description of the Oilfiled Services segment and in Notes B, C and R to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In connection with the Merger, Registrant and Baroid reached an agreement with the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the "Antitrust Division") pursuant to which Registrant sold its 64% interest in M-I Drilling Fluids Company, effective February 28, 1994, to Smith International, Inc. In addition, pursuant to the agreement, Registrant sold the United States diamond drill bit business of DB Stratabit (USA), Inc. ("DBS") to International Superior Products, Inc. ("International") effective July 28, 1994, and granted to International (i) a non-exclusive license to manufacture steel bodied and matrix bits inside the United States and (ii) a non-exclusive license to manufacture steel bodied bits outside the United States (except in the People's Republic of China).
On August 5, 1994, shareholders of Wheatley TXT Corp. ("Wheatley") voted to approve the merger (the "Merger") of WTXT Acquisition Corporation ("WTXT"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Registrant, into Wheatley. The Merger was effective August 5, 1994 (the "Effective Date"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated May 31, 1994, among Registrant, WTXT and Wheatley. Shareholders of Wheatley on the Effective Date received 8.3 million shares of Registrant's Common Stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Wheatley. In addition, approximately 350,000 shares of Registrant's Common Stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to certain benefit plans assumed by Registrant. For financial reporting purposes, the Merger was treated as a pooling of interests. Wheatley operations include pumps, valves, metering equipment and other products used in oil and gas production. Further information concerning Wheatley is included under the caption "Completion and Production Tools" and Notes B, C and R to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On September 21, 1994, Registrant and Ingersoll-Rand Company announced that they had completed the sale of each of their 50% interests in IRI International Corporation, a manufacturer of mobile drilling rigs headquartered in Pampa, Texas, to Energy Service International Limited.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
MERGERS
On January 21, 1994, Dresser merged with Baroid Corporation (Baroid). On August 5, 1994, Dresser merged with Wheatley TXT Corp. (Wheatley). The "Company" as used in this discussion refers to Dresser and its subsidiaries including Baroid and Wheatley. The mergers have been accounted for as pooling of interests. Financial data, statistical data, financial statements and discussion of financial information included in this report have been restated to reflect the financial position and results of operations as if the mergers had occurred on November 1, 1989. See Notes B and C to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the mergers.
OVERVIEW (CONTINUED)
SPECIAL ITEMS
During the last three years, the Company has entered into a number of unusual or nonrecurring transactions, including mergers, divestitures and restructuring of existing operations. The impact of these transactions is described below. The discussions of results of operations will focus on earnings excluding these transactions.
OVERVIEW (CONTINUED)
SPECIAL ITEMS (CONTINUED)
The Company sold its 29.5% interest in Western Atlas International in January 1994 and recognized a pre-tax gain of $275.7 million. (See Note D to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The Company recorded pre-tax charges of $65.0 million in 1993 for settlement of the Parker & Parsley litigation. (See Note O to Consolidated Financial Statements.) In April 1994, the Company recognized a $18.4 million pre-tax gain from the settlement of a coverage dispute with certain insurance carriers regarding the Parker & Parsley litigation.
The Company recorded pre-tax expenses of $10.7 million in August 1994 related to the Wheatley merger and $31.0 million in October 1993 related to the Baroid merger. (See Notes B and O to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The Company recorded pre-tax expenses of $15.7 million in 1994, $9.1 million in 1993 and $70.0 million in 1992 for restructuring costs and other special items.
The 1992 charges included $35.0 million for restructuring the Ingersoll-Dresser Pump joint venture. (See Note O to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
In 1992, the Company spun-off its industrial products operations (INDRESCO) and made the decision to dispose of its Environmental Products business. The results of these operations are reflected as Discontinued Operations in the 1992 Consolidated Statement of Earnings. (See Note P to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The Company incurred losses totaling $9.8 million (pre-tax) in 1992 in connection with the redemption of its debentures. These losses are reported as an extraordinary item in the 1992 Statement of Earnings. (See Note J to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
In 1992, the Company adopted two new accounting standards relating to retiree medical benefits and income taxes. The combined net effect of these changes was a one time non-cash charge of $394 million or $2.21 per share, which is reflected as the Cumulative Effect of Accounting Changes in the 1992 Consolidated Statement of Earnings. (See Notes H and N to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Dresser is a fully integrated manufacturer and supplier of products and services to customers in the oil and gas industry. The Company produces a broad range of highly engineered products for hydrocarbon exploration, drilling, production, transmission and processing activities. Dresser also provides engineering, procurement and project management services for all aspects of the energy business. Operations are organized into three segments: Oilfield Services, Hydrocarbon Processing Industry and Engineering Services. See Note R to Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the products and services included in each segment.
Demand for Oilfield Services Segment products and services is directly affected by energy prices and drilling activity. Demand for the products and services offered by the Hydrocarbon Processing Industry Segment and Engineering Services Segment is affected by global and regional economic activity, which influences demand for processing capacity for the manufacture of transportation fuel, petrochemicals, plastics, fertilizers, chemicals and other by-products of oil and gas.
In fiscal 1994, drilling activity increased 11% over the prior year in North America, due largely to strong natural gas prices early in the year. Internationally, drilling activity fell 5% reflecting a number of influences, including the low price of oil and political uncertainty in various regions of the world. In 1994, ongoing construction activity for hydrocarbon processing projects continued at relatively high levels. However, a slowdown in 1993 and early 1994 in new projects resulted in lower backlogs at several operations, including Dresser-Rand and M.W. Kellogg.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
1994 COMPARED TO 1993
Revenues were $5.3 billion in 1994 compared to $5.2 billion in 1993. Oilfield Services revenues were lower primarily due to the inclusion of both M-I Drilling Fluids and Baroid Drilling Fluids in 1993, while 1994 included M-I Drilling Fluids for only four months. That decrease was more than offset by higher revenues by the other two segments. Revenues include the Company's share of earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, which was down $53 million in 1994 mostly attributable to $39 million in 1993 for Western Atlas.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS (CONTINUED)
1994 COMPARED TO 1993 (continued)
Excluding the special items described above, net earnings increased $10 million to $221 million. Segment operating profit for 1994 was $40 million lower compared to 1993. However, 1993 included the results of Western Atlas ($39 million), the impact of a full year of M-I Drilling Fluids earnings ($16 million) and the favorable impact of a LIFO inventory adjustment ($21 million) at Ingersoll-Dresser Pump (IDP). Accordingly, comparable 1994 segment operating profit increased $36 million, reflecting high levels of drilling activity in North America and strong levels of demand for certain of the Company's hydrocarbon processing equipment. See the Industry Segment Analysis below for a discussion of the results of each segment.
General Corporate Expenses declined $19 million to $69 million, reflecting lower self insurance costs and lower ongoing expenses associated with previously divested businesses. Net interest expense declined $10 million primarily due to the investment of the proceeds from the sale of Western Atlas and M-I Drilling Fluids. Other items impacting comparability of 1994 to 1993 include a non- recurring gain of $12.8 million in 1993 resulting from a change in the Company's Retiree Medical Benefit Plan and an increase in goodwill amortization of $5.6 million in 1994 associated with the Bredero Price, TK Valve and Axelson acquisitions.
The effective tax rate applicable to earnings before taxes and special items declined to 28% from 33% in 1993, a reduction of $30 million. The lower effective rate resulted primarily from the recognition of tax benefits applicable to losses associated with receivables from IRI International. The effective tax rate should return to the 33%-35% level in 1995.
Minority interest expense was $11 million lower in 1994 primarily due to the sale of M-I Drilling Fluids Company, which had a 36% minority owner.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS (CONTINUED)
1993 COMPARED TO 1992
Revenues increased from $4.7 billion in 1992 to $5.2 billion in 1993. The consolidation of Dresser-Rand's financial statements in 1993 was the primary reason for the increase. In 1992, Dresser-Rand was accounted for using the equity method.
Excluding special items, 1993 net earnings increased $63.7 million to $211.4 million, and segment operating profit increased $121.4 million compared to 1992. The consolidation of Dresser-Rand in 1993 added $46 million to segment operating profit. The Company and its joint ventures amended retiree medical benefit plans in 1993, thus reducing the related expense by $17 million compared to 1992. Also during 1993, the Company recorded a favorable IDP LIFO inventory adjustment of $21 million. Excluding these items, 1993 segment operating profit increased $37 million due to the acquisition of Bredero Price and stronger results in the Oilfield Services Segment and Engineering Services Segment partially offset by a decline in the 1993 results of Ingersoll-Dresser Pump versus the operations of Dresser Pump Operation in 1992. See the Industry Segment Analysis below for a discussion of the results for each segment.
The non-recurring gain resulting from the amendment to retiree medical plan mentioned above added $13 million to 1993 earnings versus 1992. Reduced interest expense resulting from the redemption of sinking fund debentures in 1992 was offset by interest on debt incurred to finance acquisitions.
The effective tax rate applicable to earnings before taxes and special items declined to 33% in 1993 from 39% in 1992. Reduced losses in foreign countries with no tax benefit, increased utilization of foreign tax credits and a $9 million benefit associated with a change in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 34% to 35%, caused the reduction. Despite the reduction in the effective tax rate, the increase in earnings before taxes and special items from $257 million to $382 million resulted in an increased tax charge of $26 million.
The consolidation of Dresser-Rand in 1993 resulted in an increase in minority interest representing a 49% share of Dresser-Rand's earnings.

Segment revenues of $1.65 billion were down $86 million in 1994 compared to 1993. Excluding the revenues of M-I Drilling Fluids, which was sold in February 1994, revenues increased 13%, or $168 million. The increase in 1994 revenues was due to the acquisition of Axelson in December 1993 and an 11% increase in North American drilling activity in 1994 versus 1993. Segment revenues from North American markets increased 33% in 1994, reflecting strength in the Gulf of Mexico and Canada.
Operating profit of $156.8 million in 1994 was $33 million lower than 1993. Excluding $39 million of 1993 earnings from Western Atlas and $16 million lower earnings from M-I Drilling Fluids, segment earnings were up $22 million. The strong performance in North American drilling markets led to substantial increases in operating profit for Sperry-Sun and Baroid Drilling Fluids. The acquisition of Axelson as well as a $9 million reduction in overhead costs resulting from the Baroid merger also contributed to the increase. These improvements more than offset the decline in operating profit from international markets and lower earnings attributable to costs associated with the combination of Guiberson AVA with Axelson and Security with DBS. Management believes that steps taken during 1994 at these operations will result in improved performances next year.
Despite the recent strength of the North American drilling markets, approximately 60% of 1994 segment revenues and operating profit were derived from markets outside North America. This is primarily due to the performance of the Bredero Price pipe coating business, which is entirely outside of North America.
Segment revenues were $1.7 billion in 1993 compared to $1.4 billion in 1992. The increase included $211 million of 1993 revenues of Bredero Price and TK Valve, which were purchased in 1993. An increase in revenues from North American sources to 39% of total segment revenues from 35% was directly related to increased drilling activity in North America, particularly the Gulf of Mexico. A decline in revenues from drilling activities outside of North America was offset by the addition of Bredero Price and TK Valve.
INDUSTRY SEGMENT ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
OILFIELD SERVICES (CONTINUED)
Operating profit before special charges in 1992 increased from $112 million to $189 million in 1993. The above-mentioned increase in North America drilling activity contributed to the substantial increase in segment operating profit and more than offset a decline in operating profit due to lower international drilling activity. All drilling-related businesses contributed to the improvement, particularly Sperry-Sun and Baroid Drilling Fluids. The addition of Bredero Price and TK Valve during 1993 accounted for approximately half of the total increase in segment operating profit.
In 1993, approximately 60% of segment revenues and approximately 70% of segment operating profit were from markets outside North America.
HYDROCARBON PROCESSING INDUSTRY
DRESSER-RAND - Revenues of $1.2 billion in 1994 increased 10% from a year earlier due primarily to a 20% increase in revenues from markets outside North America, particularly in the Eastern Hemisphere. This primarily reflected the workoff of prior-year backlog of centrifugal products and compression services. Operating profit continued strong at $71.9 million but was down from $87.6 million in 1993 due to restructuring and early retirement costs as well as margin pressure on complete-unit sales.
Bookings in 1994 were level with the prior year at $1 billion. Key markets contributing to 1994 bookings included Uzbekistan, China, Argentina, Thailand, Egypt and Denmark.
Revenues from North American markets were 39% in 1994 compared to 44% in 1993. Operating profit from North America was essentially unchanged, with strong results from the field gas market offsetting a decline in the centrifugal product market. Internationally, significant improvements in operating profit in Venezuela and the North Sea only partially offset declines in continental Europe and the Middle East resulting from margin pressure on complete unit sales.
INDUSTRY SEGMENT ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
HYDROCARBON PROCESSING INDUSTRY (CONTINUED)
Dresser-Rand's revenues were $1.1 billion in 1993 and operating profit was $87 million, and were fully consolidated after the Company acquired an additional 1% interest. On a basis comparable to 1993, revenues were $1.3 billion in 1992 and operating profit was approximately $84 million. In 1993, approximately 55% of Dresser-Rand revenues and operating profit were from sources outside the United States.
INGERSOLL-DRESSER PUMP (IDP) - Earnings from the 49% owned joint venture were $9 million in 1994 and $17 million in 1993. However, 1993 included $21 million of earnings from the release of LIFO inventory reserves related to inventory contributed to IDP by the Company and sold by IDP to third parties. IDP's revenues were $752 million in 1994 versus $761 million in 1993. IDP's improved operating results reflect the impact of restructuring during the start-up period. IDP operated at a small loss in 1993, excluding the $21 million LIFO adjustment, as compared to a profit for the Company's separate Pump Operations of $27 million in 1992. This decline resulted primarily from a recession in Europe (a major market for IDP), and the discontinuity associated with the combination and rationalization of the separate Pump Operations of Dresser and Ingersoll-Rand.
OTHER OPERATIONS - Revenues of $1.2 billion were up $48 million (4%) from 1993, and operating profit of $143 million was up $16 million (13%) from 1993. All operations except Valve and Controls, which felt the lingering impact of an economic recession in Europe, had higher revenues and operating profit. During 1994 the Valve and Controls Division downsized its European operations to reflect a changing market. Approximately 55% of segment revenues were from outside North America with about 26% being from Europe in both years. A record performance for the Wayne Division accounted for most of the increase in operating profit.
In comparing 1993 with 1992, revenues were down $34 million (3%) and operating profit was down $3 million (2%). Revenues from outside North America were 45% in 1993 and 44% in 1992 with Europe accounting for 27% in 1993 and 32% in 1992. A strong performance in 1993 by the Wayne Division with earnings up $15 million from 1992 offsets a 23% decline in Valve and Controls earnings principally in Europe. Also, inventory reductions in 1992, which resulted in a favorable LIFO impact of $9 million, did not recur in 1993.
INDUSTRY SEGMENT ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
ENGINEERING SERVICES (M.W. KELLOGG COMPANY)
Revenues in 1994 were $1.27 billion compared with $1.22 billion in 1993 and $1.56 billion in 1992. From 1992 to 1994, revenues from outside North America increased from 39% to 81% of the total, reflecting the significance of large international projects to which M.W. Kellogg provides process and execution technology differentiation, particularly in the areas of refining, ammonia and liquefied natural gas. In 1994, 44% of revenues came from the Mid East, Far East and Africa area and 30% came from Latin America. The Mid East, Far East and Africa area produced 45% of 1993 revenues and 28% of 1992 revenues.
Operating profit was $85.5 million in 1994, $85.7 million in 1993 and $76.2 million in 1992. Operating profit for 1994 included a $11.0 million gain associated with an initial public offering by a Mexican affiliate. Operating profit in 1992 included a $15.5 million gain from the sale of a partial interest in a United Kingdom subsidiary. The nature of M.W. Kellogg's business presents ongoing opportunities for equity investments, which historically have produced similar gains. In 1992, operating profit was split between North American and international markets. However, in 1993 and 1994, substantially all operating profit was derived from international sources, particularly the Far East, North Africa and Latin America.
BACKLOG OF UNFILLED ORDERS
Backlog at the end of 1994 of $1.6 billion was down $.9 billion from the end of 1993, reflecting a slowdown during 1994 in the number of new awards for global hydrocarbon processing projects. Toward the end of 1994, global project activity began to improve. M.W. Kellogg, Dresser-Rand and Bredero Price currently have outstanding bids for a number of major projects that may be awarded during 1995.
BACKLOG OF UNFILLED ORDERS (CONTINUED)
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's liquidity and overall financial condition improved substantially during 1994. Cash provided by operating activities of $354 million exceeded capital expenditures and dividends by $50 million. Management does not expect capital expenditures, which were $187 million in 1994, to change significantly in 1995. Net cash provided by operations in 1994 was $180 million higher than in 1993. Included in 1994 receipts were $57 million from a large engineering and construction contract and $23 million from insurance companies concerning the Parker & Parsley litigation settlement. During 1993, the Company paid $58 million related to the Parker & Parsley settlement, and income exceeded cash collections by $43 million on a large engineering and construction contract. Excluding the $80 million of unusual 1994 receipts and the $101 million of unusual 1993 payments, cash flow from operations would have been $274 million and $275 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively. In addition, the Company received cash proceeds totaling $612 million, net of $106 million of taxes paid, from the sales of interests in Western Atlas International, Inc. and M-I Drilling Fluids. Management does not expect to generate cash from sales of major business units in the foreseeable future. The Company paid off approximately $300 million of short-term commercial paper and Baroid and Wheatley debt. As a result, the balance of cash and cash equivalents of $515 million at October 31, 1994 was $315 million higher than at October 31, 1993.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition (continued)
The Company's ratio of total debt to total debt and shareholders' equity improved to 23/77 at October 31, 1994 compared to 39/61 at October 31, 1993.
Management believes that the cash on hand of $515 million and $302 million of existing lines of credit, combined with cash that will be provided by future operations, will be adequate to finance known requirements. During 1994, the Company's debt ratings were upgraded by Standard and Poors from A- to A for long-term debt and from A-2 to A-1 for commercial paper. Management believes that the Company's strong financial condition and favorable credit ratings will allow the Company to borrow additional funds should the need arise.
Legal and Environmental Matters
The Company was involved for several years in litigation brought by Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company and related parties and in negotiations with its insurance carriers. The Parker & Parsley litigation was settled in 1993 and the related litigation and the insurance coverage disputes were settled in 1994. (See Note O to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The Company is currently involved in a number of lawsuits. See Note M to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on these lawsuits and evaluation of the Company's exposure. The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party in a number of Superfund sites. Note M to Consolidated Financial Statements includes a review and evaluation of the claims.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
The consolidated financial statements of Dresser Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries have been prepared by management and have been audited by independent accountants. The management of the Company is responsible for the financial information and representations contained in the financial statements and other sections of this report. Management believes that the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles appropriate under the circumstances to reflect, in all material respects, the substance of events and transactions that should be included. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, it is necessary that management make informed estimates and judgments based on currently available information of the effects of certain events and transactions.
In meeting its responsibility for the reliability of the consolidated financial statements, management depends on the Company's internal control structure. This internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and are properly recorded. In designing control procedures, management recognizes that errors or irregularities may occur. Also, estimates and judgments are required to assess and balance the relative cost and expected benefits of the controls. Management believes that the Company's internal control structure provides reasonable assurance that errors or irregularities that could be material to the consolidated financial statements are prevented or would be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.
The Board of Directors pursues its oversight role for the accompanying consolidated financial statements through its Audit and Finance Committee, which is composed solely of directors who are not officers or employees of the Company. The Committee meets with management and the internal auditors to review the work of each and to monitor the discharge by each of its responsibilities. The Committee also meets with the independent accountants and internal auditors, without management present, to discuss internal control structure, auditing and financial reporting matters.

NOTE A -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONSOLIDATION
All majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated and all material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Investments in 20% to 50% owned partnerships and affiliates are reported at cost adjusted for the Company's equity in undistributed earnings.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues and earnings from long-term construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured generally on a cost incurred basis. Estimated contract costs include allowances for completion risks, process and schedule guarantees and warranties that generally are not finally determinable until the latter stages of a contract. Estimated contract earnings are reviewed and revised periodically as the work progresses. Estimated losses are charged against earnings in the period in which such losses are identified. Revenues from sale of products and services other than from long-term construction contracts are recorded when the products are shipped or the services performed.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of most inventories is determined using either the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or the average cost method. The cost of certain U.S. inventories is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 20 years for machinery and equipment. Certain assets with service lives of more than 10 years are depreciated on accelerated methods. Accelerated depreciation methods are also used for tax purposes, wherever permitted. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Major improvements are capitalized.

NOTE A -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)
INTANGIBLES
The difference between purchase price and fair values at date of acquisition of net assets of businesses acquired is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods benefited, not exceeding 40 years.
In the event facts and circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill associated with an acquisition is impaired, the carrying amount will be reduced to an amount representing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows before interest to be generated by the operation.
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES
For subsidiaries in countries which do not have highly inflationary economies, asset and liability accounts are translated at rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expense accounts are translated at rates approximating the actual rates on the dates of the transactions. Translation adjustments are included as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
For subsidiaries in countries with highly inflationary economies, inventories, cost of sales, property, plant and equipment and related depreciation are translated at historical rates. Other asset and liability accounts are translated at rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses (excluding cost of sales and depreciation) are translated at rates approximating the actual rates on the dates of the transactions. Translation adjustments are reflected in the statement of earnings.
RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR YEARS
Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 1994 presentations.

On January 29, 1993 Baroid issued 17.7 million shares of its common stock, equivalent to 7.1 million of the Company's shares, in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Sub Sea International Inc. (Sub Sea). Sub Sea provides diving services, engineering and unmanned, remotely operated underwater vehicles to inspect, construct, maintain and repair offshore drilling rigs and platforms, underwater pipelines and other offshore oil and gas facilities.
The acquisition of Sub Sea was accounted for as a pooling of interests, and the financial statements for periods prior to the Sub Sea merger have been restated to reflect the financial position and results of operations of the combined companies as if they had merged on November 1, 1991.
In 1993, Baroid acquired three small businesses and Wheatley acquired one small business for cash totaling $32.5 million. These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, and their results of operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings from the acquisition dates.

INGERSOLL-DRESSER PUMP COMPANY (CONTINUED)
The Company's share of pre-tax earnings for 1993 includes $21.3 million from the release of LIFO inventory valuation reserves related to inventory contributed to the joint venture by the Company and sold by Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company to third parties.
In connection with the Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company joint venture agreement, the Company granted to Ingersoll-Rand Company an option to purchase 51% of the stock of Mono Group Limited for a price equal to 51% of its book value, including unamortized goodwill, at the exercise date. That option is scheduled to expire on April 30, 1995. The Company and Ingersoll-Rand have agreed to amend the joint venture agreement to extend the exercise period to April 30, 1997, and to change the date at which the option price is determined. Under the amendment, the option price will be the amount at January 31, 1995 or at the end of the month during which Ingersoll-Rand gives notice of its intention to exercise the option, whichever amount is lower. If the option to purchase is exercised by Ingersoll-Rand Company, both Ingersoll-Rand and the Company have agreed to contribute their respective Mono Group Limited shares to the Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company as a contribution of capital to the partnership.
DRESSER-RAND COMPANY
The Company owned 50% of Dresser-Rand from its inception on January 1, 1987 through September 30, 1992. Effective October 1, 1992, the Company acquired an additional 1% ownership interest and since then Dresser-Rand is included as a fully consolidated subsidiary with a 49% minority interest.

NOTE F - LONG-TERM CONTRACTS
Consistent with industry practice, service revenues and cost of services include the value of materials, equipment and labor contracts furnished by customers and for which the Company is responsible for the ultimate acceptability of performance of the project based on such material, equipment and labor. The value of such items was $138.7 million, $112.4 million and $114.0 million for the years ended October 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Amounts billed in excess of revenues recognized to date are included in current liabilities under contract advances.
NOTE G - INVENTORIES
Inventories on the LIFO method were $94.7 million and $77.9 million at October 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Under the average cost method, inventories would have increased by $96.8 million and $92.2 million at October 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
During 1992, the Company experienced significant quantity reductions in LIFO inventories which were carried at lower costs that prevailed in prior years. Quantity reductions reduced the cost of sales by $14.6 million and increased earnings, net of tax, by $9.5 million or $.06 per share in 1992.
Inventories are stated net of progress payments received on contracts of $126.1 million and $175.7 million at October 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Note H - INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES, as of November 1, 1991. The 1992 Consolidated Statement of Earnings includes a charge of $40.8 million or $.24 per share for the cumulative effect of the change.

Under the provisions of SFAS 109, the tax benefits of loss and credit carryforwards can be recognized in the period they arise if certain realization criteria are met. As a result of these provisions, the tax benefits attributable to approximately $40 million domestic carryforwards and $28 million of foreign carryforwards were reflected in the 1992 charge to earnings referred to above.
Since the Company plans to continue to finance foreign operations and expansion through reinvestment of undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries (approximately $750 million at October 31, 1994), no provisions are generally made for U.S. or additional foreign taxes on such earnings. When the Company identifies exceptions to the general reinvestment policy, additional taxes are provided.

The following is a reconciliation of income taxes at the U.S. Federal income tax rate (35% for 1994, 34.8% for 1993 and 34% for 1992) to the effective provision for income taxes for continuing operations reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (in millions):
Deferred income tax benefits result from the recognition of temporary differences. Temporary differences are differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in differences between income for tax purposes and income for financial statement purposes in future years.

liabilities of their respective foreign entity. Approximately $35 million of these losses will carryforward indefinitely while the remaining amounts expire at various dates from 1995 to 2004.
The net change of $32.4 million in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets relates to reductions in the valuation allowance for the IRI divestiture, the elimination of the Baroid group domestic valuation allowance due to its inclusion in the Dresser Industries, Inc. consolidated income tax return, offset by an increase in the valuation allowance for foreign loss carryforwards.
NOTE I - SHORT-TERM DEBT
Short-term debt at October 31, 1994 consists of $33.1 million of borrowings from U.S. and foreign banks.
The Company has short-term committed U.S. bank lines of credit totaling $125 million. Such lines provide for borrowings at prevailing prime interest rates. The lines of credit may be used by the Company and certain foreign subsidiaries, and include Eurodollars and foreign currencies. The lines of credit may be terminated at the option of the banks or the Company.
Loan arrangements have been established with banks outside the United States, under which the Company's foreign subsidiaries may borrow on an overdraft and short-term note basis. At October 31, 1994 the amount available and unused under these arrangements aggregated $176.5 million.
NOTE J - LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt is summarized as follows (in millions):
DRESSER INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
NOTE J - LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
In June 1993, the Company made a public offering of debt securities in the form of $300.0 million of 6.25% Notes due 2000 from which the Company received $298.2 million in proceeds. The proceeds were used to retire short-term debt that was issued to acquire Bredero Price and TK Valve (See Note C). The interest is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15.
During 1992 and 1993, the Company redeemed $195.6 million of Sinking Fund Debentures. Losses totaling $9.8 million were recorded net of taxes of $3.5 million as an extraordinary loss in the 1992 Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
The Company's long-term debt includes $150 million of 8% Senior Notes which Baroid sold in April, 1993 via a public offering. On August 5, 1994, the Company completed a consent solicitation whereby the holders of the Notes consented to certain amendments to the Indenture which conformed various restrictive covenants to the Company's 6.25% notes. In return, Dresser fully and unconditionally guaranteed payment of principal and interest on the Notes.
Baroid entered into a three year reverse interest rate swap beginning May 7, 1993 and ending May 7, 1996. Under terms of the swap agreement, the Company receives a fixed interest payment of 4.9% and pays six-month LIBOR for the prior six months on $150 million. The effect of the reverse interest rate swap is to convert the first three years of the 8% Senior Notes from a fixed rate obligation to a floating rate obligation (composed of a fixed payment of 3.1% plus a floating payment based on six-month LIBOR for the prior six months). If on the date to set the interest rate, six-month LIBOR is less than 4.9%, the Company pays an effective floating rate of less than 8.0% and conversely if six- month LIBOR is greater than 4.9% the Company pays an effective floating rate greater than 8.0%. The effect of the swap is accrued monthly based upon current LIBOR estimates. The swap agreement increased interest expense $1.0 million in 1994 and decreased interest expense $1.2 million in 1993.
Maturities of long-term debt in the fiscal years after October 31, 1994 are as follows (in millions):

NOTE K - EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLANS
STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
Dresser's 1992 Stock Compensation Plan includes a Stock Option Program, a Restricted Incentive Stock Program and a Performance Stock Unit Program.
The Stock Option Program provides for the granting of options to officers and key employees for purchase of the Company's common shares. The Plan is administered by the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, whose members are not eligible for grants under the Plan. No option can be for a term of more than ten years from date of grant. The option price is recommended by the committee, but cannot be less than 100% of the average of the high and low prices of the shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the day the options are granted. The exercise prices for options granted during 1993 and 1994 increase on the annual anniversary dates of grants.
Baroid and Wheatley had performance incentive plans that provided for granting options to purchase common stock. In connection with the merger, Dresser assumed the outstanding options to purchase stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Baroid and Wheatley plans. Such options were converted into 1.5 million Dresser options upon the closings of the mergers.
Changes in outstanding options during the three years ended October 31, 1994 and options exercisable at October 31, 1994, reflecting assumed Baroid and Wheatley options, are as follows:

PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS PLAN
The Company has a plan under which it issues one Preferred Stock Purchase Right for each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock. The Rights expire in 2000 unless they are redeemed earlier.
DRESSER INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
NOTE L - CAPITAL SHARES (CONTINUED)
The Rights will generally not be exercisable until after 10 days (or such later time as the Board of Directors may determine) from the earlier of a public announcement that a person or group has, without Board approval, acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock or the commencement of, or public announcement of an intent to commence, a tender or exchange offer which, if successful, would result in the offeror acquiring 30% or more of the Company's Common Stock. Once exercisable, each Right would entitle its holder to purchase 1/100 of a share of the Company's Series A Junior Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $90, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
If the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination not previously approved by the Company's Continuing Directors, each Right then exercisable would entitle its holder to purchase at the exercise price that number of shares of the surviving company's common stock which has a market value equal to twice the Right's exercise price. In addition, if any person or group (with certain exceptions) were to acquire beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock (unless pursuant to a transaction approved by the Company's Continuing Directors), each Right would entitle all rightholders, other than the 15% stockholder or group, to purchase that number of Series A Junior Preferred Stock having a market value equal to twice the Right's price.
The Rights may be redeemed by the Company for $.01 per Right until the tenth day after a person or group has obtained beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock (or such later date as the Continuing Directors may determine).
The Rights are not considered to be common stock equivalents because there is no indication that any event will occur which would cause them to become exercisable.
NOTE M - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
In 1988, certain individuals purchased from a third party a construction equipment dealership which sold Dresser products. The Company was not a party to the transaction, except to the extent that it was a party to the Distributorship Agreement with the dealership. The dealership was purchased prior to the announcement by the Company of the intent to form the Komatsu Dresser joint

LITIGATION (CONTINUED)
venture. The plaintiffs sued the Company claiming that the Company failed to disclose to them its intent to enter into the joint venture and that the value of the dealership, which they subsequently sold at a loss, was impaired by the formation of the joint venture. In April, 1994, the jury returned a verdict awarding the plaintiffs compensatory damages of $6.5 million and punitive damages of $4.0 million. This case has been appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
The purchasers of the Company's former hand tool division sued the Company for fraud in connection with the October 1983 transaction alleging, among other things, that the Company knowingly failed to disclose certain alleged liabilities associated with the hand tool business. The plaintiffs previously had been awarded in arbitration a $1.3 million adjustment to the purchase price paid by them to acquire the division. In May, 1994, the jury returned a verdict awarding the plaintiffs $4 million in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages. On October 13, 1994, the Court ordered a reduction of damages from $54 million to $12 million. The Company filed a notice of appeal on November 7, 1994.
Based on a review of the current facts and circumstances, management has provided for what is believed to be a reasonable estimate of the exposure to loss associated with these matters. While acknowledging the uncertainties of litigation, management believes that these matters will be resolved without a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
ASBESTOSIS LITIGATION
The Company has approximately 40,000 pending claims (approximately 3,000 new claims filed in fiscal 1994 compared to 12,000 filed in fiscal 1993) in which it is alleged that third parties sustained injuries and damages resulting from inhalation of asbestos fibers used in products manufactured by the Company and its predecessor companies. Approximately half of the pending claims allege injury as a result of exposure to asbestos contained in refractory products with the other half alleging injury as a result of exposure to asbestos gaskets and packings used in other products manufactured by the Company.

ASBESTOSIS LITIGATION (CONTINUED)
Since 1976, the Company has tried, settled or summarily disposed of approximately 19,000 such claims for a total cost of $40 million including legal fees. The Company has entered into agreements with insurance carriers covering approximately 60% of the pending claims, including all refractory claims, approximately 75% of all claims settled, and is in negotiation with insurance carriers for coverage of the remainder of the claims. Management has no reason to believe the carriers will not be able to meet their obligations pursuant to the agreements which based on current estimates is approximately $25 million. Under the agreements, insurance covers approximately 67% of legal fees and any settlements or awards. The net cost to the Company after recoveries from the carriers has been approximately $13 million. Of the 19,000 claims settled, approximately 70% relate to cases involving refractory products. Refractory product claims filed subsequent to July 31, 1992, are the responsibility of INDRESCO Inc. pursuant to an agreement entered into at the time of the spin-off. The Company has provided for the estimated exposure, based on past experience, for the remaining open cases involving refractory products. The Company has also provided for estimated exposure relating to non-refractory product claims. However, the Company has less experience in settling such claims. Generally when settlements have been made, the amounts involved are substantially lower than the claims involving refractory products.
In 1993, the Company sustained an adverse judgment in cases filed by employees of Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The Company's share of damages awarded in six cases amounted to $3.8 million plus 10% add on for punitive damages. The judgment does not conform to the Company's past experience and was not in accord with the evidence. The case currently is on appeal to the Mississippi Supreme Court. Any ultimate loss would be covered by the agreement with the insurance carriers described above.
On December 19, 1994, the Company sustained an adverse judgement in Baltimore, Maryland in which the Company's share of damages awarded was $.9 million. The trial is not yet concluded. In later stages of the trial the jury will decide the amount of punitive damages. The Company believes there are serious errors in the trial to date and intends to contest final verdicts vigorously on post- trial motions and by appeal if necessary. Any ultimate loss would be covered by the agreement with the insurance carriers described above.

ASBESTOSIS LITIGATION (CONTINUED)
Subsequent to October 31, 1994 and during the first quarter of 1995, approximately 6,000 new non-refractory cases have been filed against the Company in Texas. While no investigation of these cases has occurred due to their recent nature, the Company does not believe they will be different from its other non-refractory cases which have traditionally been settled for substantially less than its refractory cases.
Management recognizes the uncertainties of litigation and the possibility that a series of adverse rulings could materially impact operating results. However, based upon the Company's historical experience with similar claims, the time elapsed since the Company discontinued sale of products containing asbestos, and management's understanding of the facts and circumstances which gave rise to such claims, management believes that the pending asbestos claims will be resolved without material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
QUANTUM CHEMICAL LITIGATION
In October 1992, Quantum Chemical Corporation ("Quantum") brought suit against the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, The M. W. Kellogg Company ("Kellogg"), alleging that Kellogg negligently failed to provide an adequate design for an ethylene facility which Kellogg designed and constructed for Quantum and fraudulently misrepresented the state of development of its Millisecond Furnace technology to be used in the facility. Quantum is seeking $200 million in actual damages and punitive damages equal to twice the actual damages claimed. Kellogg has answered denying the claim and has filed a counterclaim against Quantum alleging libel, slander, breach of contract and fraud. Discovery has been completed, and a trial date is expected to be set during early 1995. Management believes the Quantum lawsuit is totally without merit and will be resolved without material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is identified as a potentially responsible party in 85 Superfund sites. Primary responsibility for nine of these sites was assumed by INDRESCO Inc. The Company has entered into an agreement to settle the Bio-Ecology site for $.9 million, and the agreement is before the Court for approval. At two of the remaining

sites, Operating Industries and PAB Oil and Chemical, the Company may be responsible for remediation costs currently estimated at between $.3 million and $1 million each. The Company previously has entered into settlements in respect of eighteen Superfund sites at a total cost of $.4 million. Based upon the Company's historical experience with similar claims and management's understanding of the facts and circumstances relating to the sites other than Bio-Ecology, Operating Industries and PAB Oil and Chemical, management believes that the other situations will be resolved without material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
SHAREHOLDER LITIGATION
On December 17, 1993, a shareholder filed a purported class action against Baroid, certain Baroid Directors, and Dresser. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the directors of Baroid breached their fiduciary duties to Baroid stockholders by approving a merger agreement which provided for the acquisition of Baroid by Dresser at an allegedly inadequate price. Plaintiff charges Dresser with aiding and abetting this alleged breach of fiduciary duty. Plaintiff seeks, among other forms of relief, damages in an unspecified amount. On February 28, 1994, all defendants moved to dismiss the Complaint. To date, plaintiff has not responded to defendant's motion to dismiss. Based upon management's knowledge of the facts and circumstances which gave rise to the action and the contents of the proxy statements furnished to shareholders of both Dresser and Baroid and the overwhelming approval of the merger by shareholders of both companies, management believes the action is totally without merit and will be resolved without material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
OTHER LITIGATION
The Company is involved in certain other legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management recognizes the uncertainties of litigation and the possibility that one or more adverse rulings could materially impact operating results.

OTHER
The Company and certain subsidiaries are contingently liable as guarantors of obligations aggregating approximately $20 million at October 31, 1994.
Total rental and lease expense charged to earnings was $99.0 million in 1994, $100.4 million in 1993 and $89.4 million in 1992. At October 31, 1994, the aggregate minimum annual obligations under noncancelable leases were: $49.3 million for 1995; $35.3 million for 1996; $21.0 million for 1997; $14.2 million for 1998; $12.4 million for 1999; and $53.0 million for all subsequent years. The lease obligations related primarily to general and sales office space and warehouses.
NOTE N - POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The Company sponsors a number of plans providing health and life insurance benefits for retired U.S. bargaining and non-bargaining employees meeting eligibility requirements. Although certain plans are contributory, the Company has generally absorbed the majority of the costs. The Company funds the benefit plans as claims and premiums are paid.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS OTHER THAN PENSIONS (SFAS 106), for its U.S. benefit plans as of November 1, 1991. The Company elected to recognize this change in accounting on the immediate recognition basis. The cumulative effect as of November 1, 1991, reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended October 31, 1992 as cumulative effect of an accounting change, was as follows (in millions, except per share amount):

During 1993, the Company, Dresser-Rand and Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company adopted amendments to certain postretirement medical benefit plans, primarily the non-union plans. The major amendments included the elimination of benefits for younger employees and the introduction of limits on the amount of future cost increases which will be absorbed by the companies. These amendments resulted in a curtailment gain of $12.8 million which was recognized in 1993 and unrecognized gains of $208.3 million which are being recognized as a reduction in benefit expense on a straight line basis over periods ranging from 12 years to 18 years.

DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
The Company has numerous defined benefit pension plans covering certain employees in the United States. The benefits for the U.S. plans covering the salaried employees are based primarily on years of service and employees' qualifying compensation during the final years of employment. The benefits for the U.S. plans covering the hourly employees are based primarily on years of service. The U.S. plans are funded in accordance with the requirements of applicable laws and regulations. The U.S. plan assets are invested in cash, short-term investments, equities, fixed-income instruments and real estate at October 31, 1994.
The Company has additional defined benefit pension plans for employees outside the United States. The benefits under these plans are based primarily on years of service and compensation levels. The Company funds these plans in amounts sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements under governmental regulations, plus such additional amounts as the Company may deem appropriate.
The Company recognized a minimum pension liability for underfunded plans. The minimum liability is equal to the excess of the accumulated benefit obligation over plan assets. A corresponding amount is recognized as either an intangible asset or a reduction of shareholders' equity. The Company had recorded additional liabilities of $34.5 million and $39.9 million, intangible assets of $21.6 million and $15.9 million, and adjustments to shareholders' equity, net of income taxes, of $7.6 million and $13.8 million as of October 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

The Company has defined contribution plans for most of its U.S. salaried employees. Under these plans, eligible employees may contribute amounts through payroll deductions supplemented by employer contributions for investment in various funds established by the plans. The cost of these plans was $11.7 million, $17.5 million and $11.3 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (SFAS 112), which requires that accrual accounting be used for the cost of benefits provided to former or inactive employees who have not yet retired. Such benefits include salary continuation, disability, severance and health care. Under SFAS 112, the cost of benefits must be accrued either over the employee's service period or at the date of an event that gives rise to the benefits. The Company currently accrues the cost of some benefits covered by SFAS 112 but not all.

NOTE O - SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION AND SPECIAL CHARGES
Earnings per common share are based on the average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The average common shares outstanding were 182.8 million in 1994, 180.4 million in 1993 and 178.4 million in 1992. Common stock equivalents do not have a material effect on earnings per share.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment charged to earnings amounted to $190.7 million in 1994, $189.6 million in 1993 and $133.1 million in 1992. The increase from 1992 to 1993 is primarily due to the consolidation of Dresser- Rand.
Amortization of intangibles was $25.6 million in 1994, $22.2 million in 1993 and $16.1 million in 1992 and is included in selling, engineering, administrative and general expenses.
Research and development costs charged to earnings were $102.5 million in 1994, $98.5 million in 1993 and $31.1 million in 1992. The increases in 1993 costs compared to 1992 costs are primarily due to the consolidation of Dresser-Rand.

The Company had previously received approximately $13.5 million from other insurance carriers in connection with the litigation. Pursuant to the settlement agreements, the Company received approximately $33.8 million, which, after legal fees and a provision for other potential litigation settlements, resulted in a gain of $18.4 million. Legal actions arising from the same facts in the Parker & Parsley litigation filed by Glyn Snell, et. al., were settled in June 1994, whereby the Company paid $7.5 million in August 1994.
The Company paid $9.5 million in February 1994 for the settlement of drill bit pricing litigation.
In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company accrued expenses of $6.2 million primarily for personnel reduction costs associated with restructuring its Valve and Controls operations. Of the costs, $2.5 million was paid in 1994 and $3.7 million will be paid in 1995. The Company expects annual cost savings of $7.6 million in 1995 and $9.1 million thereafter.
Also, in the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company recorded expenses associated with the Wheatley merger (See Note C) totaling $10.7 million, including professional fees and costs related to eliminating duplicate facilities.

NOTE O - SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION AND SPECIAL CHARGES (CONTINUED)
In 1993, the Company recorded expenses of $13.2 million for restructuring and termination costs partially offset by a $4.1 million gain from curtailment of retiree medical benefits. The curtailments resulted from employee terminations associated with plant closings. These special charges reduced segment operating profit by $6.9 million and the remaining $67.2 million was reflected as nonsegment expenses.
The 1993 Special Charges also included expenses associated with the Baroid merger (See Notes B and C) totaling $31 million and consisting of the following (in millions):
Baroid's Board of Directors concluded that the Advisory fee of $3 million was warranted in view of the time and service required of certain officers to negotiate and bring about the Merger and the fact that, as a result of their time and service, no investment banker was needed or hired by Baroid to represent Baroid in negotiating the Merger. Such amounts were determined to be reasonable in relation to avoided costs of investment banking fees.
In 1992, the Company recorded expenses totaling $70.0 million. The expenses provided $35.0 million for the restructuring of the pump joint venture, $25.0 million for restructuring and termination costs in other operations, and $10.0 million primarily for the settlement of special warranty claims. The special charges reduced segment earnings of Oilfield Services by $17.1 million and Hydrocarbon Processing Industry by $49.3 million. The remaining $3.6 million was reflected as nonsegment expenses.
NOTE P - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In 1992, the Company decided to dispose of its Environmental Products business and recorded a $12.0 million charge for the estimated costs of disposal and future operating losses. The Company sold its Environmental Products business to FLS Miljo A/S, a Danish company.
DRESSER INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
NOTE P - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In March 1992, Baroid completed the sale of its Atlas Bradford subsidiary for approximately $10.2 million in cash. In July 1992, Baroid completed the sale of its Shaffer subsidiary for approximately $36 million in cash. Estimated future losses of Atlas Bradford and Shaffer were accrued in the estimated loss on disposition of $16.0 million that was provided for in 1991.
Effective August 1, 1992, the Company divested its industrial products and equipment businesses including its 50% interest in Komatsu Dresser Company. The divestiture/spin-off was accomplished by a distribution of one INDRESCO share for every five shares of the Company's common stock.
The results of operations, net of income taxes, for Environmental Products (including the $12 million charge in 1992) and for the INDRESCO businesses are reported as discontinued operations.
Summarized information on Discontinued Operations is as follows (in millions):
NOTE Q - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of financial instruments other than long-term debt approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term debt were approximately $33.4 million higher than its fair value at October 31, 1994 and approximately $25.0 million less than its fair value at October 31, 1993. The estimated cost to terminate the interest rate swap (See Note J) was $5.5 million at October 31, 1994. Fair values of the debt and the cost to terminate the interest rate swap were determined by reference to market interest rates.
The Company has cash and cash equivalents held in currencies other than local currencies, and current and future receivables and payables to be settled in currencies other than local currencies. These financial assets, liabilities and commitments create exposure to potential foreign exchange gains and losses arising on future

NOTE Q - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
changes in currency exchange rates. The Company protects against such risks by entering into forward exchange contracts. The Company does not engage in speculation, nor does the Company typically hedge balance sheet exposure. The fair value of foreign exchange contracts is based on year-end quoted rates for contracts with similar terms and maturity dates. At October 31, 1994, the Company had $248 million of forward exchange contracts outstanding, 73% of which were in European currencies, 20% of which were in Japanese Yen, and 7% of which were in other currencies. The fair value of the Company's foreign exchange contracts is not significant.

The intersegment and intergeographic area revenues are eliminated. Revenues also include royalties and share of earnings or losses of unconsolidated affiliates.
Operating profit consists of total revenues less total operating expenses and includes share of earnings or losses from unconsolidated affiliates. General corporate expenses, amortization of acquisition intangibles, interest income and expense, and other income and expenses not identifiable with a segment have been excluded in determining operating profit.

UNDERTAKINGS
For the purpose of complying with the rules governing registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended effective July 31, 1990), the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows, which undertaking shall be incorporated by reference into Registrant's registration statements on Form S-8 Nos. 2-76847 (filed April 5, 1982), 2-81536 (filed January 28, 1983), 33-26099 (filed December 21, 1988), 33-30821 (filed August 28, 1989), 33-48165 (filed May 27, 1992), 33-52067 (filed January 28, 1994) and 33-52989 (filed April 6, 1994), and to the Post-Effective Amendments on Form S-8 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 Nos. 33-50563 (filed February 4, 1994) and 33-54099 (filed August 31, 1994):
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the provisions of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
