Fluor Daniel's newlyacquired Wright
Engineers and Fluor Daniel Canada are teamed to perform
engineering, procure ment and construction
management on INCO's mill rationaliza
tion program (top) in
Sudbury, Ontario. The project consolidates
three milling and con centrating operations to reduce SO2 emis
sions and increase operating efficiency.
A The Hydrocarbon Sector is performing engineering, pro
curement and construc tion management at Shell's Staniow, U.K. Refinery. The Gas Tails project (bottom) is nearing com pletion, while work
on an Alkylation unit is approaching 50 per cent completion.
Hydrocarbon Sector
New awards in the Hydro carbon Sector more than dou bled in 1988, to $1.9 billion, compared with $721 million in the prior year. Backlog at year end was $1.9 billion, 29 percent of the company's total. Key to its success is the full range of services provided to the offshore and produc tion, pipeline, refining, petro chemical and mining and metals markets, several of which were active in 1988. The Hydrocarbon Sector serves geographically diverse markets, and is now focusing on a growing list of opportuni ties. particularly in the Asia/ Pacific region.
Growth in new awards was due primarily to plant upgrades and capacity expan sions. Several petrochemical and polymer projects were booked, driven by strong product demand and low feedstock and energy prices. Energy-related projects were also awarded despite lower oil prices. Lower priced gaso line has increased demand, with an emphasis on perform ance, activating refinery oc tane enhancement projects. Additionally, over the last sev eral years oil companies have emphasized operating effi ciencies. Other factors stimu lating this market are environ mental issues and safety concerns related to aging U.S. process plants, many of which are over 25 years old.
Although the market for new oil and gas production is currently limited, a few longrange projects continue to move forward. Some heavy oil projects in California and Canada are expected to pro ceed. Fluor Daniel is perform ing assignments in Alaska, and is well positioned for both onshore and offshore work when market conditions im prove. The company contin ues to maintain an industry leading position in this market because of its size and long term significance.
There has been a strong resurgence of mining projects worldwide. Services are be ing provided for gold projects in the U.S., Canada, South America and Australia. In 1988, Fluor Daniel was awarded a major portion of the $1 billion world-class Escondida Copper project in Northern Chile.
To strengthen the geo graphical presence and tech nical skills of the Mining and Metals Division, the company acquired Wright Engineers Ltd. in 1988. Based in Vancouver, Canada, Wright Engineers is a recognized leader in the design, engi neering and construction management of mining and metals projects. Today, Fluor Daniel's capabilities in this market are second to none.
Significant projects com pleted during 1988 included the heavy oil upgrader expan sion and modernization proj ect for New Grade Energy in Saskatchewan, Canada; a 15,000 ton per day gold ore processing facility in Ridgeway, South Carolina; a gold ore processing facility for Billiton in Chile; metallurgical plants

4 Fluor Daniel's Power Sector is engi
neering and construct ing a natural gas-fired combined-cycle cogen eration facility, includ ing the conversion of portions of an incom
plete nuclear power plant in Midland,
Michigan. The project for Midland Cogenera tion Venture, expected to begin operations in 1990, will be the larg est cogeneration plant
in America.
Growth in power demand is continuing to outpace expectations. Yet, despite unusually high peak power demand and temporary power restrictions in many areas this past summer, utili ties are reluctant to add new base-load generating capacity. New Power Sector awards include maintenance, modi fication and engineering for upgrade and plant life extension.
Utility clients want to oper ate their plants longer and more efficiently which offers expanding opportunities for the Power Sector. Creative new programs and contract ing methods, including per formance incentives and alliance agreements, are being offered to attract new clients. Five years ago we were providing services to 20 utilities; today we are work ing for more than 50.
A relatively new market for the Power Sector's services is privatized or independent power projects. These plants, privately owned and operat ed, sell the power they gen erate to utilities. Such projects provide an alternative to new plant construction by utilities. While still an emerging market, we expect continued growth.
The market for new co generation facilities to serve industrial clients is active.
During the year, engineering continued and construction began on the huge Midland Cogeneration project in Michi gan and is currently ahead of schedule and under budget.
Industrial clients are inter ested in reducing the variabil ity of their plant operating costs. By building cogenera tion facilities, they supply their own steam and electric ity needs, while selling excess power to utilities.
For example, Power Sector projects include an 80 MW, simple-cycle, gas-fired cogen eration facility for Harbor Co generation to provide steam for enhanced oil recovery in Wilmington, California; and a joint venture with Southern Electric International for a 50 MW, gas and oil-fired, com bined cycle cogeneration plant for Dexter Corporation in Connecticut to provide steam to their manufacturing operations.
International opportunities for the Power Sector are be ing closely monitored. Privati zation of the power industry in the United Kingdom; changing energy priorities in Sweden, Norway and Can ada; and expanding power re quirements in the Asia/Pacific region offer promising markets.
Significant projects com pleted in 1988 include con struction of the 160 MW demonstration plant for the Tennessee Valley Authority, using the new fluidized bed boiler technology; and engi neering, procurement and construction of a 300 MW co generation plant at Bakers field, California, for Sycamore Cogeneration, a twin of the nearby Kern River facility suc cessfully completed by Fluor Daniel in 1985.

During the year, European and Japanese clients commit ted substantial investments to facilities in the U.S.: expan sion of a titanium dioxide facility in Georgia, for Finlandbased Kemira; a new photo conductor manufacturing plant in Virginia, for a subsid iary of Mitsubishi Kasei Cor poration, Japan's largest chemical manufacturer; and photo receptor and toner plants for Xerox in China.
U.S. industry continues to focus on lower operating costs and greater efficiency. Many large U.S. companies have downsized their own E&C organizations while developing long-term client/ contractor relationships. Fluor Daniel's "partnership" with Du Pont, known as the "Delta Division," is considered the standard of the industry for such agreements.
During 1988, the Delta Division worked on more than 40 different Du Pont projects worldwide including fibers, films and a wide range of chemicals. New operations were also established in Kingston, Ontario, and at Haarlem, in the Netherlands, to provide services for Du Pont in Canada and Europe.
Growth in the engineered plastics and advanced com posites industries was rapid in 1988. These markets are expected to continue their expansion well into the 1990s as more applications for new and advanced products are developed. Fluor Daniel is currently working on the huge expansion of GE Plastics' "Lexan" facility in Burkville, Alabama, and is assisting on a similar plant to be built in Spain.
Significant projects com pleted during the year include one of the world's largest and most modern industrial waste treatment plants in Kingsport, Tennessee, for Tennessee Eastman; a biotech facility for Immunex in Seattle, Wash ington; and retrofit of a com posites plant in Anaheim, California, for Ciba-Geigy.
Power Sector The Power Sector provides a full range of engineering and construction services from project inception through maintenance primarily to elec tric and gas utility companies. Services are also provided to clients involved with cogener ation, hydroelectric, privatized power plants and waste-toenergy. Fluor Daniel is a leader in maintenance technology and offers turnkey packages which can include project financing.
Our position as a leading supplier of quality services to the power industry was re confirmed in 1988 through aggressive marketing and creative packaging, despite sluggish demand industry wide. New awards in 1988 for the Power Sector declined to $414 million from $917 mil lion in 1987, which included the $470 million award for the Midland Cogeneration proj ect. Backlog at year end was $756 million, or 11 percent of the company's total.

Fluor Daniel's Indus trial Sector is providing Phase III engineering,
procurement and construction services
to Fort Howard at its Savannah River Mill
in Georgia. The plant produces paper
towels and tissue prod ducts from recycled
waste paper. ,
The foods and consumer products industry remains active, with a number of signif icant modernization projects. In the automotive market we are now focusing on provid ing maintenance and techni cal services to existing facilities. The pulp and paper industry grew rapidly in 1988 with several large expansion projects received, as well as awards for new grassroots facilities. Activity in pulp and paper is expected to remain strong into 1989, with oppor tunities developing in Europe, Canada, South America and Australia.
The trend toward client/ contractor "alliances" contin ues. Clients recognize the advantages of shifting fixed costs to variable by contract ing for E&C services pre viously performed in-house. New alliance agreements are being developed while existing relationships are expanding to encompass broader geographic scope. We are currently performing work in Europe, Canada, Asia/ Pacific and Saudi Arabia for several U.S.-based clients under alliance agreements.
in the commercial market, Fluor Daniel continues to refine its selective marketing strategy where our geographic presence or client relation ship provides a competitive advantage.
The experience gained over the last three years in the design and construction of jus tice facilities has firmly estab lished Fluor Daniel in this growing market.
A Engineering and construction manage
ment was performed by the Industrial Sector
on this 141,000 square foot dehydrated soups
and sauces manu facturing facility in Asheboro, North Caro lina, for Knorr Best
Foods Division.
Renewed strength in the commodity markets has fueled demand for metals-related projects such as primary and recycled aluminum prod ucts. There are select oppor tunities in the steel industry as well.
Activity in the electronics industry has begun to pick up. U.S. producers are now focusing on product niches through emphasis on produc tivity and efficiency. The trend to establish worldwide net works of manufacturing and supply sources is evident.
Significant projects com pleted during the year includ ed Phase II of the continuing expansion and modernization program for Fort Howard's paper mill in Savannah, Geor gia; construction manage ment for a major bakery facility for the Kitchens of Sara Lee in Tarboro, North Carolina; a major expansion of Kellogg's food processing capabilities at Battle Creek, Michigan; several projects for Procter & Gamble, including two diaper plant upgrades, and a soap plant addition; and expansion of a cereal plant in China for Heinz.
Process Sector T The Process Sector was one of Fluor Daniel's two fastest growing business sectors in 1988. Fueled by strong growth worldwide, new awards were $1.1 billion, up sharply from $686 million in 1987.
The Process Sector pro vides services to clients in the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, fine and specialty
chemicals, fibers, film, tex tiles, plastics, bulk chemicals and composites.
Strong gains were made in expanding the geographic scope of work for existing cli ents. Awards were received from international clients for projects in the U.S., as well as for U.S. customers expanding overseas. Backlog for the Process Sector now stands at $1.2 billion, or 19 percent of the company's total.
Process Sector clients tend to be technology driven. Evolving research efforts into the prevention and cure of cancer, heart disease and AIDS have stimulated the biotech, pharmaceutical and medical equipment indus tries. These markets have generated a steadily growing source of projects including a biochemical manufacturing plant in Iowa, for the Bio Products Division of Eastman Kodak; a medical devices manufacturing facility in Northern California for Beckton Dickinson; a pharmaceuti cals finishing and filling facility for Bristol Myers in Puerto Rico; and an expansion of a human vaccines plant in Bel gium for Smith Kline-RIT.
Stimulated by strong de mand and high utilization rates of existing manufactur ing capacity, the chemicals industry experienced tremen dous growth during 1988. Fur ther influencing this market is the trend towards globalization.
DR 2801212
A Fluor Daniel's Process Sector assisted in the design and construction of this state-of-the-art biotechnology facility for Biochemie, and is currently at work on an expansion project. The plant, located in Kundl, Austria, uses U.S. technology to produce a product which increases milk production with reduced feed require ments in dairy cows.
Engineering and Construction
Engineering, construction and related services (E&C), the company's principal business activity led by Fluor Daniel, delivered significantly im proved results in 1988. Oper ating profit increased to $51 million, compared with a loss of $49 million in 1987. Rev enues were up 30 percent to $4.2 billion.
Serving clients from over 50 offices worldwide, Fluor Daniel provides a broader range of E&C services to more industries in more geo graphic areas than any com petitor. In 1988, building on a strong tradition of superior performance, Fluor Daniel adopted a formal statement of its mission, shown in its entirety on page 5.
Increased market penetra tion, a growing base of new clients and improving busi ness conditions pushed new awards in 1988 to $6 billion, up 47 percent over the pre vious year, and the highest level since 1981.
Backlog rose dramatically during the year to $6.7 billion. The backlog is well diversified among the five business sectors--Industrial, Process, Power, Flydrocarbon and Government--with a grow ing percentage of projects outside the United States.
Although still recovering from the long downturn which began in 1981, overall market conditions within the E&C industry showed marked
improvement during the year. Capital spending increased in most of the markets Fluor Daniel serves and further growth is expected in 1989, led by a strong U.S. market.
The increased diversity in the company's global E&C business base, expanded backlog, and positive eco nomic outlook accentuate expectations for 1989 and beyond.
industrial Sector Among Fluor Daniel's five business sectors, the Indus trial Sector serves the broad est range of markets, includ ing automotive and general manufacturing; electronics; heavy industries such as met als and machine tools; pulp and paper; foods and con sumer products; and commer cial and justice facility clients.
New awards in the Indus trial Sector were broadly based and rose to $2.4 billion in 1988, nearly double the level achieved last year. Backlog for the Industrial Sector increased to $2.3 billion, representing 35 percent of the company's total.
In general, industrial clients today are financially healthy with strong cash positions, having benefited from the economic expansion of the last several years. Capacity utilization in many of the mar kets Fluor Daniel serves is at an all-time high. The lower dollar has boosted exports by improving U.S. manufactur ers' competitiveness over seas and consumer spending at home remains strong.
These diverse industrial markets are driven by their own individual set of eco nomic and market factors.

As the United States and Canada combine forces in what will become the larg est economic unit in the world, there is finally an opportunity for Fluor Daniel clients to compete on that "level playing field" we've always advocated.
International tensions are gradually dissipating in the Middle East and Asia and many of these countries will be standing in line demanding that their economies be mod ernized. Fluor Daniel's supe rior reputation is well known throughout these areas and we fully expect to be called upon for our proven skills.
In 1992, the European Common Market will be come a community of trading nations operating as a single economic bloc. Anticipation of that change is already stim ulating new work for our Eu ropean offices, which have 30 years of continuous presence in that geographic area.
Going forward into the dec- * ade of the 1990s, we will continue to focus on our core business, engineering and con struction. We will maintain the high quality of performance which is our hallmark, while growing as rapidly as is pru dent to keep pace with the swiftness of change in our global markets.
We will be selective in pur suing projects with the best profit potential; that is, proj ects which offer either favor able long-term positioning or immediate strengthening of our backlog and earnings. Our investments in coal and lead will be managed opportunisti cally, taking full advantage of improving commodity markets.
Our overriding objectives are to achieve enhanced value for our shareholders by delivering superior earnings growth and return on equity, and to be the top performer in our industry worldwide.
An increasing number of governments are embrac ing free enterprise solutions to improve their ailing econo mies. This means more opportunities for private investment and increased demand for Fluor Daniel's services. We have already established a record of quality performance on projects for the People's Republic of China, the Soviet Union and other controlled economies. Our experience and our reputa tion for integrity stand us in good stead as corporate citi zens of the world.

Vtye identified niche acquisitions as a strategy for strengthening and expanding our engineering and construc tion base. During 1988 two such acquisitions were made, for a total investment of ap proximately $50 million. In March, Fluor Daniel purchased an interest in SOS Interna tional, a leading contractor in the multi-billion dollar asbes tos abatement industry. In August, Wright Engineers Ltd. of Vancouver, Canada became part of Fluor Daniel, expand ing the company's worldwide capabilities in the mining and metals industry. Additional E&C niche acquisitions will be considered.
We presented plans for improved performance from our restructured investments in coal and lead. A.T. Massey Coal Company reported rec ord operating profits in its first full year following the restructuring. Doe Run lead operations, in which Fluor holds 57.5 percent owner ship, also had an excellent year. Their strategies for the future will be to emphasize cash flow by remaining lowcost producers, efficient oper ators, and market leaders.

to offset the cash flow re quirements of our Sugar Land, Texas facility lease, thus improving the return on that cash by 300 basis points. Optimizing the return on our growing capital resource posi tion is a continuing financial management challenge.
> We talked about main taining our strong and healthy financial condition and further reducing long-term debt. Un questionably, Fluor Corpora tion is in excellent financial shape today. Long-term debt was reduced to less than $100 million, 13.6 percent of total capital, and cash re serves and the bond portfolio exceed $300 million.
The progress achieved in 1988 would not have been possible without the united efforts of our employees. management team and board of directors. We are indebted also to our shareholders and clients for their confidence, trust and support. These con stituencies are the source of Fluor's strength.

Letter to Shareholders
Dear Fellow Shareholder: A year ago we announced com pletion of the company's re structuring program, significant strengthening of our financial position and a new direction for Fluor Daniel, our core engineering and construction (E&C) business. We said that Fluor was on the threshold of auspicious new beginnings. Those new beginnings are now fulfilling their promise. In the past 12 months, impor tant milestones along Fluor's road to attaining its full earn ings potential have been achieved. Fluor Daniel, and our investments in coal and lead, all reported meaningful gains in operating profits.
Net earnings for 1988 were $56.4 million, or 71 cents a share, an increase of 112 per cent over the previous year. Revenues from continuing operations were $5.1 billion, up 31 percent from the $3.9 billion reported for 1987. While still a long way from our profit objectives, our progress this past year is reassuring.
Improved profitability is just one of the objectives estab lished a year ago to enhance shareholder value:
We set as a target greater expansion of Fluor Daniel's services to diversi fied markets worldwide. New awards for 1988 totaled $6 billion, a 47 percent advance over the prior year. The inter national component of new awards increased from 7 to 24
percent--clear indication that Fluor Daniel's globalization efforts have taken hold in moving toward our goal of 40 to 60 percent.
We discussed expan sion of backlog across a wide spectrum of industries as an important Fluor Daniel objec tive. At year end, backlog was up 43 percent to $6.7 billion, the highest level in six years and well balanced among our five business sectors. The size and diversity of our back log bodes well for the future.
We said we would enhance the value of our serv ices to clients by capitalizing on our industry-leading safety record and three-dimensional engineering design capability throughout our worldwide network of more than 50 offices. The performance of Fluor Daniel's operations cen ters in executing projects and the reaction of our clients featured in this annual report speak for themselves.
We responded to our clients' continuing need for a choice of labor posture by strengthening the manage ment of Fluor Constructors International, Inc. (FCII), our union construction arm. Based on FCII's positive con tribution to earnings in 1988, their future looks bright.

Government Sector T The Government Sector provides a full range of engi neering, procurement, con struction, operations and maintenance services to gov ernment clients at all levels. Clients also include non government organizations in communications systems, nuclear fuel cycle work and environmental services includ ing hazardous waste. In addi tion, this sector also serves the aerospace, defense and transportation industries, as well as acting as an advanced technology base for all Fluor Daniel business sectors.
Fiscal 1988 presented tough marketing challenges. Concern over the U.S. federal budget deficit limited spend ing levels on existing con tracts, as well as future project plans. As a result, new awards of $154 million were below the record high of $314 million a year ago. Despite this difficult environ ment, the sector expanded its services and made inroads into new market areas. Back log at year end was up 35 percent to $409 million, or six percent of the company's total.
Key awards in 1988 included a contract to provide engi neering and construction management services for the installation of data networks to connect 850 Bank of Amer ica branches throughout California. The information systems area is targeted as a significant growth market.
The Government Sector also expanded its environ mental services to the potentially huge market for hazardous waste remediation, disposal and cleanup. The sector was selected by the Environmental Protection Agency as a prime contractor and program manager for the Alternate Remedial Contract Strategy (ARCS) program, covering 15 states. With Superfund-supported projects now getting underway, a sig nificant market for environ mental services is rapidly developing.
Through its FD Services unit, the sector is increasing operations and maintenance (O&M) services to govern ment projects such as the housing maintenance and util ity operations at the Naval Weapons Station at Charles ton, South Carolina.
During the year, the Gov ernment Sector essentially completed a nationwide fiber optic network for U.S. Sprint, and began the preliminary engineering phase for the strategically important Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant in Washington.

of Massey's commit ment, oyr relation ship has matured, and we are pleased to have them as our metallurgical : coal supplier.
The Rawl Facility in West Virginia is Mas sey's largest mining complex producing over 5 million tons of
coal in 1988. Rawl has reserves and process ing capabilities which
enable it to blend different qualities of coal
to produce both metal lurgical coal and vary ing grades of steam coal. During the year, two new coal storage areas, to enhance blending capabilities, were added, and the coal washing circuit was upgraded.
FCII made a positive contri bution to operating results in 1988, compared with a sig nificant loss last year. The improvement is primarily attributable to a strengthened management team which focused on successful com pletion of certain fixed-price contracts, bid in prior years under extremely competitive conditions, and the continuing priorities of improved produc tivity, quality and safety.
During 1988, FCII estab lished an Eastern Operations office in Greenville, South Carolina, and aligned its organ ization to be more respon sive to the five business sec tors. While the majority of FCII's work is currently for cli ents served by the Power Sector, expanded opportuni ties for other business sec tors are anticipated in 1989.
Natural Resource Investments
Coal T A.T. Massey Coal Company, Fluor's investment in coal, produces high-quality steam coal for electric utilities and metallurgical coal for the steel industry and today ranks among the 10 largest U.S. coal companies, in addition to produced coal, Massey also markets coal for independent producers.
Massey's results for the year were outstanding. Oper ating profits were up 78 percent to $50 million on a 35 percent revenue advance to $784 million. The profits in cluded a one-time pretax gain of $7 million from a settle ment with the United Mine Workers.
Fiscal 1988 was Massey's first full year of operations since it was partitioned from Shell Oil Company. The parti tioning resulted in Fluor assuming control of its pro portionate share of the assets and retaining the manage ment team. Massey's strategy continues unchanged. Mar keting of high-quality, lowsulfur coal to the eastern utility market is the area of primary concentration. Emphasis on technical services and quality is the key to establishing and maintaining long-term client relationships in this market. A strong focus on productivity improvements allowed Massey to enhance operat ing results and to offer clients competitive prices.
Steam coal, which is used by utilities for electricity gen eration, accounts for approxi mately 86 percent of total U.S. coal consumption. The outlook for this important market continues to be favor able. Growth in demand for electricity has been strong, particularly in the eastern United States where Massey is geographically well posi tioned. In addition, as the last of the nuclear plants commis sioned in the 1970s come onstream, new electric power generation will be supplied primarily by coal-fired plants.
Steam coal sales in 1988 were up 18 percent as ex treme temperatures drove

peak energy requirements to unexpected levels this past summer. The increased volume more than offset the effect of lower prices from continued over capacity in the coal industry.
Massey is also the leading commercial supplier of metallurgical coal in the United States. A revitalized U.S. steel industry, as well as renewed strength worldwide, has increased opportunities for metallurgical coal sales at home and abroad. The lower level of the U.S. dollar has also contributed to increased export sales by making U.S. produced coal more competi tive in the world market.
Lead
The company's investment in lead operations, conducted through its 57.5 percent inter est in The Doe Run Company, experienced dramatic improve ment in operating results in 1988. Operating profit of $29 million was recorded for the year, compared with a modest loss in 1987. Completing its second full year of operations as a restructured company, Doe Run benefited from strong pricing.
The commodities market enjoyed renewed strength during 1988 allowing the
operation to achieve marked improvement in by-product credits. Moderate tightness in the availability of lead metal worldwide kept upward pressure on prices, ending the year at the highest level since 1980. Demand for lead has been strong in the replacement battery market, a primary use for lead, due to the deteriorating effects of this past summer's extreme temperatures. Additionally, the lower dollar has kept U.S.-produced lead competi tive by reducing the levels of imported metal.
Improved earnings in 1988 helped fund an aggressive program for facilities mainte nance and upgrading. Addi tionally, Doe Run was able to capitalize on high copper prices this year by increasing its production of copper. The Brushy Creek mill was recom missioned and converted entirely to copper production. Selected high copper-bearing ore from the company's six mines is processed through this facility.
Approximately 75 percent of Doe Run lead is used in the production of batteries. As a result, consumption of lead is closely associated with the automobile industry, a reliable long-term market. Other uses of lead include load-leveling batteries and standby power systems for utilities and communications and computer networks.
Lead prices are expected to remain relatively strong m 1989, although they may moderate somewhat if the level of demand experi enced in 1988 is not sustained.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
24 25
Results of Operations
Earnings from continuing op erations were $56 million in 1988 compared with a toss of $75 million in 1987 and a loss of $19 million in 1986. The re lated earnings per share were $.71 for 1988 compared with a loss per share of $.95 and $.23 in 1987 and 1986, re spectively. Revenues from continuing operations in creased 31% in 1988 follow ing a 10% decrease from 1986.
In 1988 the company had net interest income of $10 million compared with net in terest expense of $40 million in both 1987 and 1986. In creased interest income in 1988 compared with 1987 and 1986 is due to substantial returns on cash and cash equivalents and the bond portfolio. Funds invested were provided primarily from collection of proceeds from sale of the discontinued metals business. Reduced interest expense in 1988 compared with 1987 and 1986 reflects lower average debt outstanding.
Engineering and Construction
New contract awards for En gineering and Construction in creased 47% in 1988 to $6.0 billion compared with $4.1 bil lion in 1987, and $3.0 billion in 1986. The engineering and construction industry is expe riencing the early stages of a growth cycle as capital expenditures are increasing in response to record capacity utilization in many of the industries served by the com
pany. Improving worldwide business conations en hanced the overall 1988 in crease in new awards as well as contributed to the inter national component of both backlog ana new awards. Backlog at October 31,1988 was $6.7 billion (up 43%) compared with $4.7 billion and $4.3 biion at October 31, 1987 and i$36. respectively.
Engineer rg and Construc tion had operating profits of $51 million In 1988 compared with a loss cf $49 million in 1987 and a loss of $71 million in 1986. Marketing effective ness and operational efficien cies continue to improve results as the reorganization of the segment, finalized in 1987, has enabled expansion and diversification of engi neering and construction services. Improved operating results also-reflect the impact of increasing margins on orders received over the last 12-18 months. New awards include more full service contracts, providing mainte nance, engineering and technical services as well as project and construction management. The number of employees increased 30% in 1988 compared with a slight reduction in 1987 and a 17% reduction in 1986.

Which, depending on future operating results, could reach a maximum of approximately $8 million. Wright, based in Canada, is a world-recognized leader in the process and de tailed design and construction management of gold, copper, uranium, complex sulfides and coal projects.
During 1988, certain ex cess real estate rental costs were charged to accrued lease costs whereas such costs were charged to oper ations in 1987 and 1986. The accrual for such costs was established in connection with the company's 1987 quasi-reorganization. Operat ing results for 1987 and 1986 reflect $23 million and $22 million, respectively, of losses incurred on certain fixed price construction contracts bid in prior years under extremely competitive conditions. These contracts were completed in 1988 without incurring addi tional overruns.
Coal
In the third quarter of 1987 the company completed a partitioning of the assets of Massey Coal Company (Mas sey). The partitioning resulted in no net gain or loss. Subse quent to the partitioning the company has fully consolidated the results of Massey.
Revenues and operating profit from Coal operations in 1988 were $784 million and $50 million, respectively. compared with revenues of $580 million and operating profit of $28 million in 1987. Revenues and operating profit in 1986 were $517 million and $49 million, respectively. In 1988, operating results im proved significantly as lower costs and higher sales vol umes of produced coal as well as additional revenues from brokered coal sales more than offset a decline in steam coal realized prices. Coal results for 1988 included $7 million related to a favor able settlement with the United Mine Workers.
Lead
T
Effective November 1,1986 the company transferred the assets of its lead business in exchange for a 57.5% interest in a partnership called The Doe Run Company (Doe Run). The company propor tionally consolidates its inter est in the results of Doe Run. Lead operations realized an operating profit of $29 million on revenues of $124 million in 1988, compared with an oper ating loss of $6 million on rev enues of $93 million in 1987 and an operating loss of $27 million on revenues of $97 million in 1986. Operations improved significantly in 1988 compared with 1987 and 1986 due primarily to an increase in realized prices, higher sales volumes and lower operating costs. Operating costs in 1988 were reduced by higher by-product credits (copper and zinc) as realized
prices for these commodities were up significantly over 1987 and 1986. Operating re sults in 1987 were affected by operational inefficiencies and downtime at the Hercu laneum smelter.
The company's consolidated results of operations in 1988 benefitted from reduced de preciation and amortization charges due to certain fair value adjustments effected through the October 31,1987 quasi-reorganization. Such ad justments had no impact on 1987 or 1986 results of operations.
Discontinued Operations
T
In 1987 the company initiated a plan for the divestiture of the assets of its Metals seg ment except for the lead op erations which were retained. As part of the divestiture the company sold its 90% inter est in St. Joe Gold Corpora tion and certain other gold properties resulting in an after tax gain of approximately $248 million. The company also completed the sale of its zinc operation resulting in an after tax loss of $15 million. Metals operations remaining at October 31,1987 were written down to their net re alizable value resulting in an after tax charge to discontin ued operations of $122 mil lion. In 1988, the remaining base metals businesses, ex cept for Pea Ridge, were sold.

Other .
In March of 1988, the com pany made an investment, convertible into a controlling equity interest, in SOS Inter national (SOS), a leading contractor in the asbestos abatement industry. Asbestos abatement is a relatively new, fast-growing industry and as such has experienced severe competition and the normal start-up and cost risks associ ated with such an environ ment. Prior and subsequent to the company's investment, SOS experienced losses. Since the date of investment, the company has recognized losses of $9 million, including $2 million of investment am ortization. Management be lieves the combined strengths of Fluor Daniel and SOS will provide stronger market pres ence and penetration, maxi mizing the profit opportunities in this emerging market.
Corporate administrative and general expense in creased 36% in 1988 com pared with 1987 primarily due to higher insurance costs and accrued obligations associated with the company's incentive compensation plans.
Fourth quarter 1987 results included a provision for the difference between contract rents and estimated fair mar
ket rents for office space to be subleased in the future. In addition, certain investments were written down to net realizable value.
In 1988 and 1987 there is no significant difference be tween the effective federal income tax rate on results of continuing operations and the statutory rate. The difference between the effective and statutory rates in 1986 is pri marily due to the recognition of a nontaxable gain and the effect of capital gain rates.
Implementation of State ment of Financial Accounting Standard 96--"Accounting for Income Taxes," which is not required until fiscal 1991, is not expected to have any material impact on the company.
Financial Position and Liquidity
Working capital at October 31,1988 was $155 million compared with $480 million at October 31,1987. The decrease is primarily due to early retirement of long-term debt, the purchase of a long term bond portfolio and the investment in SOS. Working capital at October 31,1987 included a $450 million receivable from the sale of gold operations which was collected in November 1987.
The company's bond port folio investment totaled $155 million at October 31,1988. The cash flows from these bonds are scheduled to offset and match the cash flow obli gations on the Sugar Land facility lease.
Capital expenditures for 1988 were $86 million com pared with $100 million in 1987 and $92 million in 1986.
In 1987, capital expenditures included the repurchase of land in Sugar Land, Texas for $26 million.
The long-term debt to cap italization ratio at October 31, 1988 was 13.6% compared with 29.1 % and 35.0% at October 31,1987 and 1986, respectively. The improved 1988 ratio reflects both a re duction in long-term debt of $123 million, and an increase in shareholders' equity due to net earnings. At October 31, 1988, all long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates.
The company has on hand and access to, sufficient sources of funds to meet its anticipated operating, expan sion, and capital needs. Sig nificant short and long-term ' lines of credit are maintained with banks which provide adequate operating liquidity.
The Board reinstated cash dividends in the fourth quar ter of 1988 and paid a cash dividend of $.02 per share in October, 1988.
Although the company is affected by inflation, its Engi neering and Construction operations are generally pro tected by the ability to recov er cost increases through price escalation provisions in most contracts. Coal and Lead operations produce commodities which are inter nationally traded at prices es tablished by factors outside the control of the company. Management believes the company's substantial coal and lead reserves provide a significant hedge against any adverse long-term effects of inflation.

Fluor Reports of Management and Independent Public Accountants
Management The company is responsible for preparation of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders' equity. They have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which have been ap plied on a consistent basis, and management believes that they present fairly the company's con solidated financial position and results of operations. The integrity of the information presented in the financial statements, including estimates and judgments relating to matters not concluded by fiscal year end, is the responsibility of management. To fulfill this responsibility, an accounting sys tem and related systems of internal controls, designed to protect the company's assets and prop erly record transactions and events as they take place, has been developed and maintained. This system of internal controls is supported by an extensive program of internal audits and tested and evaluated by the independent public accountants in connection with their annual audit. The Board of Directors pursues its responsibility for financial information and review through an Audit Com mittee of Directors who are not employees. The internal auditors and the independent public accountants have full and free access to the Committee. Periodically the Committee meets with them without management present to discuss the results of their examinations, the adequacy of internal accounting controls and the quality of financial reporting.
Independent Public Accountants Board of Directors and Shareholders Fluor Corporation
We have examined the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Fluor Corporation at October 31,1988 and 1987, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and share holders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended October 31,1988. Our examinations were made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered neces sary in the circumstances. In 1986 the accounts of Massey Coal Company, a 50% owned joint venture, were examined by other independent auditors; insofar as our opinion on the consolidated financial statements related to such assets and operations, which constituted 19% and 11% of consolidated assets and revenues, respectively, it is based solely on their report.
In our opinion, based on our examinations and the report of other independent auditors, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly the consolidated financial position of Fluor Corporation at October 31,1988 and 1987, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31,1988, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the period.

Major Accounting Policies
Balance Sheet Revaluation
.
The consolidated balance sheet at October 31,1987 was adjusted to fair value in accordance with
accounting principles applicable to quasi-reorganizations. See Restructuring.
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of the company and its subsidiaries. The equity method of accounting is used for investment ownership ranging from 20% to 50%. Investment ownership of less than 20% is accounted for on the cost method. The company does not con solidate entities for which control is deemed temporary. The company recognizes 100% of the operations of certain unconsolidated entities which are under effective control. All significant intercompany transactions of consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated. Certain 1987 and 1986 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1988 presentation.
Business Ownership Changes
Coal--On July 10,1987, the company and two subsidiaries of Shell Oil Company (Shell) completed a partition of Massey Coal Company (Massey) whereby Shell relinquished 99% of its 50% interest in Massey for certain of Massey's operating subsidiaries. The partitioning resulted in no net gain or loss to the company. Prior to the partitioning the company had proportionally consolidated its 50% interest in Massey; subsequently, Massey's operations are fully consolidated to reflect the company's ownership interest. Lead--Effective November 1,1986 the company and Homestake Mining Company transferred all of the assets of their respective domestic lead businesses to The Doe Run Company partnership (Doe Run). Certain reclassifications were made to the historical carrying values of the company's lead operations to reflect the proportional consolidation of the company's 57.5% ownership interest in the partnership.
Engineering and Construction Contracts
The company recognizes engineering and construction contract revenues using the percentage-ofcompletion method, primarily based on contract costs incurred to date compared with total esti mated contract costs, and using hours incurred to date compared with total estimated hours for the construction of certain power plants. Contracts are segmented between engineering and con struction efforts and, accordingly, gross margin related to each activity is recognized as those sepa rate services are rendered. Changes to total estimated contract costs or hours and losses, if any, are recognized in the period they are determined. Revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed are classified as current assets under contract work in progress. It is anticipated that the incurred costs associated with contract work in progress at October 31,1988, will be billed and collected in 1989. Amounts received from clients in excess of revenues recognized to date are classified as current liabilities under advance billings on contracts.
Depreciation and Amortization
Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Assets other than mining proper ties and mineral rights are depreciated principally using the straight-line method to amortize the cost of the, assets over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases. The excess of cost over net assets of acquired businesses is amortized on the straight-line method, over periods not longer than 40 years.
DR 2801239
Exploration and Development
Coai--Development costs of specific coal properties, when expected to be significant, are capital ized in mining properties and depleted over the expected economic life of the mine on the units of production method. Lead--Costs incurred for exploration of minerals are generally expensed as incurred. Development expenditures to bring new mineral properties into production, comprising substantially all surface mine development and initial underground installations, are capitalized in mining properties and amortized by the straight-line method over periods approximating the economic life of the mine. Subsequent maintenance and underground development expenditures are generally charged to expense as incurred.
Investment in Bond Portfolio
The company's bond portfolio is carried at amortized cost which approximates market value. At October 31,1988, the portfolio has a weighted average interest rate of nearly 11 % and maturities ranging from 1989 to 2004.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided for items recognized in different periods for financial and tax reporting purposes. Such timing differences include the use of the completed-contract method of accounting for certain contracts, accelerated depreciation and various accruals.
Earnings (loss) per share
Earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding in each period. Common equivalent shares include the potential dilution from the exercise of stock options when the effect of such options is dilutive.
Inventories
Coal, metals and processed minerals inventories are stated at the lower of cost using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method or net realizable value. Supplies and other are valued on the average cost method. Inventories comprise:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Continued
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
In 1988, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of
Cash Flows," which requires a statement of cash flows in place of a statement of changes in finan
cial position. Prior years' statements of changes in financial position have been restated to conform
to the 1988 presentation.
The company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

Acquisition and Investments In August 1988, the company purchased Wright Engineers Limited (Wright), for consideration which, depending on future operating results, could approximate a maximum of $8 million. Wright, based in Canada, is a world-recognized leader in the process and detailed design and construction management of gold, copper, uranium, complex sulfides and coal projects. The company's financial statements include the results of Wright on a consolidated basis from the acquisition date. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. Investments included in Other assets relate primarily to entities accounted for on the equity method. Additions to investments in 1988 included $14 million in a resource recovery project, $15 million in Centre Reinsurance and $40 million in SOS International (SOS). In March 1988, the company made an investment, convertible into a controlling equity interest, in SOS, a leading contractor in the asbestos abatement industry. Prior and subsequent to. the com pany's investment, SOS experienced operating losses. The company has significant influence over operating and financial policies and, accordingly, has recognized 100% of SOS's losses from the date of investment. Losses recognized totaled $9 million in 1988, including $2 million of investment amortization. The company's investment in SOS at October 31,1988 exceeded the net assets of SOS by $33 million.

Restructuring
Quasi-Reorganization
At October 31,1987, the company adjusted its balance sheet to fair value and transferred the accumulated deficit of $141 million to Additional capital in accordance with quasi-reorganization accounting principles. Management utilized the services of outside experts in conducting the revaluation. The principal adjustments to fair value included a $267 million reduction in the carrying value of the company's 57.5% interest in Doe Run; reversal of $62 million of deferred gains on sale leaseback transactions; accrual of $125 million for certain lease costs; revaluation of intangibles resulting in the elimination of $151 million of excess of cost over net assets of acquired businesses; recognition of a $22 million net increase in the value of the company's investment in Massey Coal Company; and $21 million net increase in the value of other assets. Management gave consider ation to the carrying values of the company's remaining assets and liabilities and believes they approximated fair value at October 31,1987. The fair value adjustments to the October 31,1987 balance sheet resulted in a net charge to Additional capital of $438 million.
Discontinued Operations
In the third quarter of fiscal 1987 the company initiated a plan for the divestiture of the assets in its
Metals segment, except for its 57.5% interest in Doe Run, which has been retained and reported
in continuing operations. Revenues for the discontinued Metals segment were $309 million and
$319 million in 1987 and 1986, respectively.
In October 1987, the company completed the sale of its 90% interest in St. Joe Gold Corpora
tion and other gold properties to Dallhold Investments Pty. Limited for $500 million, of which $50
million was received by October 31,1987. The remaining $450 million was received in November
1987. The sale resulted in a net gain of approximately $248 million. In September 1987, the com
pany sold its domestic zinc mining operations to Horsehead Industries for approximately $100 mil
lion, including the elimination of $38 million in outstanding debt, resulting in a net loss of $15
million. At October 31,1987 a net charge to discontinued operations of $122 million was made to
write down the metals businesses held for sale to their estimated net realizable value. In 1988 dis
posals of the remaining base metals businesses held for sale, except Pea Ridge, were completed.
The sale of Pea Ridge is expected to be concluded in 1989.
During 1986, the company adopted a plan to dispose of its Drilling Services segment. The sale
was completed in 1987 for an aggregate sales price of approximately $18 million. Revenues from
drilling operations were $18 million in 1986.

The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate and the actual tax rates applicable to discontinued operations is primarily attributable to the effect of foreign taxes, losses without tax benefit and capital gain rates. The rate difference applicable to the disposal of discontinued oper ations is primarily attributable to capital gain rates and foreign tax credits.

Residual income taxes have not been provided on approximately $42 million of undistributed earn ings of certain foreign subsidiaries at October 31,1988 because the company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely.
A.T. Massey Coal Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries file a separate consolidated tax return and have available net operating loss carryforwards of $71 million which expire at varying dates through 2000. Utilization of these carryforwards may result in reduction of future tax payments.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its examination of the company's federal income tax returns for the fiscal years 1977 through 1979 and those of St. Joe Minerals Corporation through 1981. The company is following the appropriate IRS appeals process in settling certain issues raised by the IRS. Examinations of fiscal years 1980 through 1983 are in process and no material adjustments have been proposed by the IRS. Management believes that the resolution of all tax issues will not have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 1987, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 96 "Accounting for Income Taxes." Management believes that imple mentation, which is not required until 1991, would not have a material effect on the 1988 consol idated results of operations or financial position of the company.

Retirement Benefits The company sponsors defined contribution retirement and noncontributory defined benefit pen
sion plans for eligible employees. Contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are based
on a percentage of employees' compensation. Expense recognized for these plans is primarily re
lated to Engineering and Construction operations and totaled $42 million in 1988, $33 million in
1987 and $36 million in 1986. Contributions to defined benefit pension plans are generally at the
minimum annual amount required by applicable regulations. Payments to retired employees under
these plans, which are primarily related to natural resource operations, are generally based upon
length of service and a percentage of qualifying compensation.

The company has unsecured committed revolving long-term lines of credit with banks from which it may borrow for general corporate purposes up to a maximum of $285 million, of which $250 million can convert to four-year term loans. Commitment fees are paid on unused portions of these lines. In addition, at October 31,1988 the company had $114 million in unused short-term lines of credit. At October 31,1988, no amounts were outstanding under these lines.
Borrowings under lines of credit and revolving credit agreements bear interest at prime, rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), domestic certificates of deposit, or other rates which are mutually acceptable to the banks and the company. All long-term debt (including current portion) outstanding at October 31,1988 bears interest at fixed rates.
Stock Plans
The company has four executive stock plans, the 1971 Fluor Stock Option Plan, the 1977 and 1981 Fluor Executive Stock Plans and the 1982 Fluor Executive Stock Option Plan. These plans provide for grants of nonqualified or incentive options at prices equal to the fair market value of the com pany's common stock at date of grant. ' The 1977 and 1981 Plans also provide for rights to acquire shares under restricted stock agree ments at $.33V3 per share under the 1977 Plan and at no charge under the 1981 Plan. Upon termi nation of employment for reasons other than retirement, death or permanent disability of the recipient, the stock must be returned to the company for the amount, if any, originally paid. At Oc tober 31,1988, a total of 1,417,358 restricted shares had been awarded and a total of 96,232 shares were available for award as restricted stock.
In addition, the company has the 1979 and 1980 Fluor Stock Appreciation Rights Plans. On exercise, the holder of the rights receives the excess of market value of the rights on exercise date over the market value of the rights on the grant date. Such market values are equal to the market value of the company's common stock. Changes in market value are accounted for currently as compensation expense. The company has adopted, subject to shareholder approval, the 1988 Fluor Executive Stock Plan which provides, among other things, for the granting of up to 3,000,000 addi tional stock options or stock appreciation rights ("SAR's"). On September 12,1988, 85,752 SAR's were contingently awarded pursuant to this plan.

The company adopted a preferred shares purchase rights plan and, pursuant thereto issued one preferred share purchase right ("Right") on each outstanding share of common stock. The Rights are exercisable only if a person or group acquires, or makes a tender offer for, 20% or more of the company's common stock. When exercisable, each Right entitles its holders to buy Viooth share of a newly issued preferred stock at an exercise price of $40, subject to certain antidilution adjust ments. The Board of Directors, at its option, may lower the exercisability threshold from 20% to as low as 10% so long as no person or group then owns more than the lowered amount and may, at any time after the rights have become exercisable, but before there has been an acquisition of 50% or more by any person or group, exchange each then valid right for one new share of com mon stock. However, the rights do not become exercisable when, as a result of a single purchase, the common stock ownership of a person or group goes from below the exercisability threshold to 85% or more of the amount outstanding.
Also, if at any time after the Rights become exercisable, the company is either involved in a merger or other business combination transaction, or 50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power is sold, or a person or group acquires 20% or more of the company's common stock, then each Right will entitle its holder to purchase common stock of the company or the acquiring company having a market value of twice the exercise price of the Right.
The Rights, which do not have voting privileges, may be redeemed by the company at a price of $.02 per Right at any time prior to public announcement that a person or group has acquired beneficially 20% or more of the company's common shares. The Rights will also be automatically redeemed under certain circumstances if a majority of shareholders approve the terms of a bid to acquire 100% of the company's common stock which is made by a person or group owning less than 1% of the company's common stock. The Rights expire on November 30,1997.

At October 31,1988 and 1987, obligations under capital leases of $14 million and $15 million, respectively, are included in Other noncurrent liabilities.
Contingencies, Commitments and Restrictions The company is contingently liable for commitments and performance guarantees arising in the ordinary course of business. Claims arising from engineering and construction contracts have been made against the company by clients, and the company has made certain claims against clients for costs incurred in excess of current contract provisions. The company's natural resource operations are affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding environmental protection. The outcome or timing of current environmental matters or the full impact, if any, of such legisla tive or regulatory developments on future operations is not currently estimable. In the opinion of management, finalization of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the com pany's consolidated financial position or results of operations. At October 31,1988, $140 million of net assets of Doe Run, including $39 million of working capital, have restrictions. Concurrence of the partners is required to transfer assets in the form of advances, loans or other distributions outside the Partnership.
Operations by Business Segment and Geographic Area The Engineering and Construction segment includes subsidiaries engaged in the design, engineer ing, procurement, construction, technical services and maintenance of facilities for industrial, com mercial, utility, natural resource, energy and government clients. Coal segment amounts through June 1987 represent 50% of Massey's operations. Commencing July 1987 Coal segment amounts include the operations of Massey after the partitioning with Shell Oil. Through 1986, the Lead seg ment represents 100% of the company's domestic lead operations. Beginning in 1987 the Lead segment represents the company's 57.5% interest in the operations of Doe Run. Identifiable assets are those tangible and intangible assets used in the operation of each of the business segments and geographic areas. Corporate assets are principally cash, cash equivalents and nontrade receivables. Sales to customers in foreign countries from domestic operations comprise less than 10% of total revenues in each of the last three years. In 1988 and 1987 no single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues. Contracts with one major customer accounted for $574 million, or 15%, of Engineering and Construction revenues during 1986.
