              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                    UNAUDITED

(1)     The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include footnotes
        and certain financial information normally presented annually under
        generally accepted accounting principles and, therefore, should be read
        in conjunction with the company's October 31, 1996 annual report on Form
        10-K. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve
        greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. The results of
        operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 1997 are not
        necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for the full
        year.

        The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are
        unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
        recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of the company, are necessary
        to present fairly its consolidated financial position at April 30, 1997
        and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three
        and six months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996. As more fully described in
        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations ("MD&A"), the company recorded provisions totaling $118.2
        million during the second quarter of 1997. These included provisions for
        estimated losses on certain contracts and adjustments to project-related
        investments and accounts receivable.

        Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1997
        presentation.

(2)     Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common
        and, when appropriate, common equivalent, shares outstanding in each
        period. Common equivalent shares are included when the effect of the
        potential exercise of stock options is dilutive.

(3)     Inventories comprise the following:

        month periods ended April 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Income tax
        payments, net of refunds, were $54.3 million and $53.3 million during
        the six month periods ended April 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis is provided to increase understanding of,
and should be read in conjunction with, the condensed consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes and the company's October 31, 1996 annual
report on Form 10-K.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Any of the comments in this Form 10-Q that refer to the company's estimated or
future results, including its estimates of the cost savings from its previously
announced cost reduction program and its statements concerning the adequacy of
its provisions for estimated future losses on projects or investments, are
forward-looking and reflect the company's current analysis of existing trends
and information. Actual results may differ materially from current expectations
or projections based on a number of factors affecting the company's businesses.
These factors include, in the case of the cost savings estimates, the ability to
achieve estimated staff reductions while maintaining workflow in the functional
areas affected and to sublease vacated facilities within anticipated time frames
at anticipated sublease rent levels. Other risk factors affecting the company's
estimated or future results include, but are not limited to, cost overruns on
fixed, maximum or unit-priced contracts, contract performance risk, the
uncertain timing of awards and contracts, credit risk, risks associated with
government funding of contracts, market conditions impacting realization of
investments, market conditions in the domestic and international coal market,
and the state of the economic and political conditions worldwide. These
forward-looking statements represent the company's judgment only as of the date
of this Form 10-Q. As a result, the reader is cautioned not to rely on these
forward-looking statements. The company disclaims any intent or obligation to
update these forward-looking statements.

Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in press
releases as well as the Company's public periodic filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including the discussion under the heading "Certain
Factors and Trends Affecting Fluor and Its Businesses--Forward-Looking
Statements" in the company's Form 8-K filed May 6, 1997, which is hereby
incorporated by reference and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues increased 23 percent and 33 percent, respectively, for the three and
six month periods ended April 30, 1997 compared with the same periods of 1996.
For the three and six month periods ended April 30, 1997, the company reported
net losses of $70.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively, compared with net
earnings of $63.7 million and $121.1 million, respectively, for the comparable
periods in 1996.  Results for the three and six month periods ended April 30,
1997 were favorably impacted by lower corporate administrative and general
expenses.  The company's Engineering and Construction segment reported
operating losses of $110.3 million and $36.3 million, respectively, for the
three and six months periods ended April 30, 1997.

ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION

Revenues for the Engineering and Construction segment increased 25 percent and
35 percent, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended April 30,
1997 compared with the same periods of 1996, due primarily to an increase in
the volume of work performed.  The increase in work performed is primarily a
result of the increase in new awards in recent periods.

Despite the growth in revenues, the segment reported operating losses of $110.3
million and $36.3 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods
ended April 30, 1997.  The comparable periods in 1996 had operating profits of
$74.0 million and $147.0 million, respectively.  Operating margins for the
three and six month periods ended April 30, 1997 were adversely impacted by a
variety of factors, including lower incentive fees earned during the quarter,
delays in the full release of certain projects, a reduction in the rates billed
for United States Government work and competitive pricing within certain
operating companies.

In addition, provisions of $91.4 million for estimated losses on certain
contracts were recognized in the second quarter of 1997.  Approximately 75
percent of the contract provisions pertain to cost overruns on one fixed price
project for the construction of a power plant located outside the United States.
As discussed below, a provision on this project had been established in the
first quarter of 1997.  In Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in the Form 10-Q for the first quarter, the
company indicated that there were ongoing uncertainties associated with this
project and stated that evaluation of cost implications and recoupment
opportunities would continue in the second quarter.  There were substantial
unexpected difficulties encountered on this project including significant
ongoing design changes, long delays in approval of drawings and vendors and
resulting low productivity in the field.  By the end of the second quarter,
these difficulties were substantially resolved as to the first phase of the
project and rendered more predictable as to the second phase of the project.
Accordingly, the company recorded an additional provision to recognize the
estimated total amount of the loss under the contract.  In addition, other
projects were identified to be loss contracts in the second quarter and,
accordingly, loss provisions were recorded.  None of these provisions for
additional projects individually exceeded $5 million.


                                       10

Additionally, during the second quarter of 1997, the company recorded $26.8
million in provisions for the impairment, abandonment or sale of certain project
related investments and joint ventures, and doubtful accounts receivable, none
of which individually exceeded $5 million.  These included the anticipated sale
of the company's interest in a joint venture within the pulp and paper industry,
a write down of an equity investment obtained in exchange for services rendered
to an environmental technology company and certain other project joint ventures
where it was determined in the second quarter that the Company's investment is
not expected to be realized due to poor market conditions or cancellation of the
project concerned.

Second quarter 1997 results also include a $19.9 million charge related to
implementation of certain cost reduction initiatives. This charge consists of
personnel related and lease costs for excess facilities.  To date, the company
has initiated action to downsize, consolidate or close 17 of its more than 80
offices and has consolidated industry operating companies from 24 to 17.
Additional charges may be taken later in the year as additional actions are
initiated.  Upon full implementation of the cost reduction initiatives, the
company believes that annualized savings of $100 million can be achieved.  The
company anticipates that the cash flow impact of the costs to implement these
savings initiatives will not have a material impact on current or future
periods.

The six months ended April 30, 1997 includes first quarter contract related
provisions totaling $21.0 million for previously reported cost overruns on two
fixed price power projects.  As discussed above, an additional provision on one
of the fixed price power projects located outside the United States was
recognized in the second quarter of 1997.  The loss in the first quarter on this
project reflected additional costs then identified to be incurred on the first
phase of the project arising primarily from bad weather, lack of timely site
access, unexpected design changes and low labor productivity.  The loss on the
other project, which is located in the United States and was due primarily to
startup problems, craft employee turnover and operation of the plant control
system, is not expected to exceed the provision recorded in the first quarter.
The company also recognized in the first quarter a credit totaling $25.0 million
related to a previously reported adjustment to certain actuarially determined
insurance accruals.  The insurance accrual adjustment was due primarily to
improvement in loss experience resulting from the company's safety program,
resulting in an excess accrual position. The company believes that the accrued
liability at both January 31, 1997 and April 30, 1997 represents the best
estimate of its insurance liability.

New awards for the three and six months ended April 30, 1997 were $3.2 billion
and $6.8 billion, respectively, compared with $3.0 billion and $6.0 billion for
the same periods of 1996. Approximately 75 percent and 59 percent, respectively,
of new awards for the three and six months ended April 30, 1997 were for
projects located outside the United States. New awards in the Process Group for
the second quarter of 1997 were $2.6 billion and included a $1.9 billion award
for the engineering, procurement and construction management of the Yanpet
project, a petrochemical complex to be constructed in Saudi Arabia. The
remainder of other new awards in the second quarter of 1997 consisted of smaller
sized projects located primarily in the United States.  New awards in the
Industrial Group for the second quarter of 1996 were $1.8 billion and included a
$558 million mining project located in Indonesia. The large size and uncertain
timing of significant new awards can create variability in the company's awards
pattern, consequently, future award trends are difficult to predict with
certainty.

The increase in the Process Group's backlog at April 30, 1997 compared with
October 31, 1996 was due primarily to the Yanpet Project. The reduction in
backlog since October 31, 1996 in the Industrial Group reflects lower new awards
in the first six months of 1997 compared with the last six months of 1996, which
included the $1 billion Batu Hijau Project. Backlog in the Power/Government
Group declined from October 31, 1996 compared with April 30, 1997 due primarily
to the work performed on the Hanford environmental cleanup project and the
Paiton power project. Backlog is adjusted both upward and downward as required
to reflect project cancellations, deferrals and revised project scope and cost.
These adjustments were not significant for the three and six months ended April
30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

COAL

Revenues increased 9 percent and 13 percent, respectively, for the three and six
month periods ended April 30, 1997 compared with the same periods of 1996. These
increases were due primarily to increased sales volume of both metallurgical and
steam coal, partially offset by lower steam coal prices. The increase in
metallurgical coal revenues reflects an increased market share of sales to steel
producers. Steam coal revenues increased due primarily to higher demand from
electric utility customers. Gross profit and operating profit increased for the
three and six months ended April 30, 1997 compared with the same periods of 1996
due primarily to the increased sales volume of both steam and metallurgical coal
and lower costs of both steam and metallurgical coal.

OTHER

Net interest for the three and six months ended April 30, 1997 decreased
compared with the same periods of 1996 due primarily to lower interest earning
assets in addition to higher interest bearing liabilities outstanding during
the periods.

Corporate administrative and general expenses decreased $8.1 million and $10.5
million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 1997
compared with the same periods of 1996. The reduction in expense is due
primarily to adjustments made to stock-related and performance-based
compensation plans.

The effective tax rates for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 1997
were materially impacted by foreign based project and restructuring losses which
are not expected to receive tax benefit. If these losses are excluded for tax
rate determination purposes, there is no significant difference between the
effective tax rate and the statutory rate for the three and six month periods
ended April 30, 1997.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128).
SFAS No. 128 redefines the standards for computing earnings per share and is
effective for the company's fiscal year 1998. The company believes adoption of
the new standards will not have a material impact on future earnings per share
calculations.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY

The company's financial position remains strong with cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities of $273.1 million at April 30, 1997 and a long-term debt
to total capital ratio of 16 percent.

The company expects to have adequate resources available from operating cash
flows, cash and short-term investments, revolving credit and other banking
facilities, capital market sources and commercial paper to provide for its
capital needs for the foreseeable future. Operating activities generated $47.6
million in cash during the six month period ended April 30, 1997, compared with
$231.8 million during the same period in 1996. The decrease in cash generated
from operating activities is due primarily to a decrease in operating assets and
liabilities as well as the company's lower operating results. Operating working
capital during 1996 was favorably impacted by a large customer advance. The
change in operating assets and liabilities from period to period is affected by
the mix, stage of completion, and commercial terms of engineering and
construction projects.

During December 1996, the company filed a shelf registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the sale of up to $400 million of debt
securities. In March 1997, $300 million of 6.95 percent notes due March 1, 2007
were issued under this filing. Proceeds were used primarily to reduce
outstanding commercial paper issued to fund operating working capital, capital

expenditures and the repurchase of company shares.

For the six months ended April 30, 1997, capital expenditures were $257.7
million, including $156.9 million related to Massey Coal. Dividends paid in the
six months ended April 30, 1997 were $31.9 million ($.38 per share) compared
with $28.4 million ($.34 per share) for the same period of 1996.
