During the last 15 years, Fluor has designed and installed processing plants worth $2 billion, mainly for the petroleum, natural-gas, petrochemical and chemical industries. Half of this work was completed in the last five years. This report gives results for fiscal 1967, a record year, and discusses various areas of company interest and service.
COVER In fiscal 1967, Fluor completed 24 plants that required engineering, procurement and construction services. Among these was a 25,000 barrels-per-day refinery for Sequoia Refining Corporation at Hercules, California. OPPOSITE Another of the projects the company brought on stream during the year was a fertilizer plant in Korea for Chin Hae Chemical Company.

Corporate Profile J. R. Fluor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer M. A. Ellsworth, President
Fiscal 1967 was our best year, and we are grateful to the Fluor shareholders, employees, customers, and suppliers whose continued support made this achievement possible. New records were established in sales, earnings, new orders, and backlog.
Sales of $374.9 million represented a 22.6 percent increase over the $305.7 million reported for fiscal 1966. Earnings of $12 million, equivalent to $5.12 a share, showed a 35.5 percent improvement over 1966 earnings of $8.9 million, or $3.70 a share (adjusted).
Comparative cash-flow figures for the two years were $18.4 million in 1967 and $14 million in 1966a 31.4 percent advance. During 1967, $12.7 million was spent on capital improvements, a 6.3 percent increase over 1966 expenditures.
Shareholders' equity at October 3i, our fiscal closing date, was $50.9 million, versus the $39.9 million a year earlier. This was equivalent to $23.27 for each of the 2,187,2 I 7 shares of common stock outstanding. The book value of our shares has risen 27.4 percent in the last year. Earnings on average net worth moved up from 25.1 percent to 26.6 percent.
At its December 1967 meeting, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split to be submitted for shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting on March it, 1968. The Board also moved to list Fluor common stock on the London and Amsterdam stock exchanges.
The Board voted Fluor's sixth annual fivepercent stock dividend, payable February 9,
1968, to shareholders of record on December 22, 1967. The Board has felt that Fluor shareholders would receive greater value in the long run by using earnings to expand the company, rather than to pay cash dividends.
Chairman of the Board J. S. Fluor retired on December 31, I 967, after 45 years of service. His colleagues on the Board named him Honorary Chairman for life and he will serve as a Director and as a most valuable consultant in the years ahead. He gave true leadership and can look back with pride on the organization he guided so well.
Mr. Fluor's retirement activated a management reorganization plan, which took effect January 1, 1968.1 R. Fluor was elected Chair,
man of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. M. A. Ellsworth was named to replace him as President.
D. S. Tappan, Jr., was appointed Senior Vice President and General Manager. In this new position, he is in charge of all engineering, procurement, and construction operations.
J. L. Tathwell was also named a Senior Vice President, with overall responsibility for the company's Oil & Gas Division, Real Estate Development Division, Coral Drilling, Inc., Caldrill, Inc., and Deep Oil Technology, Inc.
W. F. Kane replaced Mr. Ellsworth as President of Fluor Products Company, Inc. L. O. Calkins filled Mr. Tappan's prior post as Vice President, Sales.

Humbert replaced him as Vice President and Secretary, in addition to being responsible for Fluor's Law Department.
Jan Oostermeyer, a member of the Board since 1953, died in June following an extended illness. Formerly President of Shell Chemical Corporation, he had served as a chemical consultant in recent years.
Fluor Products Company, our subsidiary which manufactures and installs industrial water cooling towers, continued to improve earnings in 1967. The company has streamlined its operations through the use of computers, and various cost-control techniques are helping to boost profit margins. A new research facility has been completed for testing cooling tower components.

awards was lower than anticipated during the first half of 1967. Many U. S. processing firms released new projects later than usual, apparently awaiting reinstatement of the seven percent tax credit and lower money rates.
As a consequence, we got started on a number of jobs later in the year than would ordinarily be the case. This will result in a slight decline in our revenues and profits in the first half of 1968. However, sales and earnings should resume an upward trend in the second half of 1968. Results for the full year should equal or possibly surpass those of fiscal 1967.
Sales prospects are good, and we should be able to obtain an adequate amount of new work in 1968. It is our belief, therefore, that 1969 could develop into an excellent year.

Fluor's effort in securing engineering-construction projects in fiscal 1967 produced $505 million in new ordersapproximately one-half more than in 1966. Some $380 million was for plants to be installed in the United States and Puerto Rico. The average new job totaled $13.4 million, compared with $6.2 million in 1963, and $5 million in 1957.
The company entered fiscal 1968 with 50 major projects in various stages of progress in 12 countries. Included are 2 complete refineries, 2 fertilizer complexes, 7 refinery modernizations, and 16 petrochemical plants.
Fluor completed 24 total-responsibility projects in 1967. The international scope of our engineering and construction activities can be measured by these jobs.
In mid-year we completed twin fertilizer plants at Yong Nam and Chin Hae, Korea. Together they will produce more than 530,000 metric tons of fertilizer a year and will satisfy two-fifths of Korea's fertilizer requirements. The two installations are expected to increase annual crop production by $270 million.
In our first project in Spain, we completed a grass-roots refinery for Rio Gulf de Petroleos S.A. at Huelva. The plant can produce approximately 55,000 barrels of petroleum products a day.
At Philadelphia, Fluor built a 30,000 barrelsper-day hydrocracker complex for Atlantic Richfield. The heart of the new addition is this country's second largest hydrocracker. The 550ton reactor is one of the largest ever fabricated at a jobsite.
At Hercules, California, the company completed for Sequoia Refining Corporation a 25,000 barrels-per-day refinery, which included a hydrocracker. Other notable completions during the year were Gulf Oil Corporation's plant at Cedar Bayou, Texas, capable of producing over 200 million pounds of low-density polyethylene a year, and a modernization and expansion of Powerine Oil Company's refinery at Sante Fe Springs, California.
The world's largest multistage flash distillation plant went on stream for the Florida Keys Aqueduct Commission at Key West, Florida. Fluor performed architect-engineering services for the plant, which produces 2.62 million gallons of fresh water daily.
Hydrocracking is one of the most productive and flexible refining processes developed by the petroleum industry. A refinery equipped with a hydrocracker can produce an entire range of petroleum products in ratios to meet market demand. Fluor is a leader in this process. The company has finished seven hydrocrackers and has five more under construction, three outside the U.S.
The largest project in Fluor history is for the Kuwait National Petroleum Company. This 95,000 barrels-per-day refinery in Kuwait will be the first in the world to use hydrogen in all downstream process units. Total hydrocracking output will be 37,860 barrels per day. In 1968, Fluor will break its own world record with the lifting and setting in place of a 650-ton vessel at this plant.
In Iran, we are nearing completion of a

grass-roots refinery for National Iranian Oil Company which features a 14,400 barrels-perday hydrocracking unit. With a total capacity of 85,000 barrels per day, this plant will produce jet fuel, gasoline, kerosene, and diesel and fuel oils.
Other important projects still under way are: a 40,000 barrels-per-day hydrocracking unit for American Oil Company at Texas City, Texas; a modernization and expansion of

Diversified Activities J. L. Tathwell, Senior Vice President
Consistent with the company's plan for diversification, an agreement was finalized in January 1967 under which the B. L. McFarland Group of five contract drilling companies was merged into Fluor as a wholly owned subsidiary. En-. titled Coral Drilling, Inc., it operates.6 offshore drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and 18 land drilling rigs in Texas and New Mexico.
Our goal is to become one of the leaders in offshore exploration and drilling. Therefore, three subsequent steps were taken to expand our position in this field.
The company purchased a whale-factory/ tanker vesselthe 665-foot Cruz del Sui and present plans call for converting her into a drill ship at a total cost of about $9 million. She will be able to stay at sea more than a year, carrying enough self-contained supplies to drill three 20,000-foot wells, or a larger number of shal, lower wells. While engineering studies for her conversion are being completed, the ship is being leased as an oil tanker during the current international shortage of such vessels.
Shortly after the close of the fiscal year, Fluor cquired Caldrill, Inc. Now a wholly owned
subsidiary, Caldrill operates three land drilling rigs in California, three offshore rigsone in Alaska and two in Californiaand a coring vessel. This ship, the C'aldrill I, does exploratory core sampling work for oil companies.
More recently, we formed Deep Oil Tech, nology, Inc., to carry out developmental wolil. in the deep-ocean recovery of oil. The new firm is 8o percent owned by Fluor and 20 perccnt
owned by Ocean Science and Engineering, Inc., in which Fluor also acquired an 8 percent interest. A
In addition to these new operations, Fluor has interests in two other diversified areasthe leasing of mineral rights and real estate development.
In fiscal 1967, our Oil & Gas Division generated revenues of $2.7 million through royalty and working interests in oil and gas properties centered mainly in the Permian Basin area of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico. On a daily basis, these properties produced 1,820 barrels of oil and over II million cubic feet of gas. A total of 178 wells was drilled on our properties during the year, of which 157 were successful. At year end, a $14 million reserved production loan on these properties had been 1
reduced to $6.7 million; we expect to take full 'ownership in 1971.
Real estate development comprises four projects in which Fluor has various equity interests ranging up to 50 percent. Completion of Lake Point Tower in Chicago is scheduled for midi 1968. Almost half of its goo apartments have

Beach, California, is moving on schedule; model 'apartments will be open in the spring, with' 'occupancy expected in early summer.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE A-PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consort.dated financial statements include the accounts of The Fluor Corporation, Ltd. and all domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All subsidiaries are wholly owned.
During fiscal i 967 the company issued i 60,000 shares of $5.50 cumulative convertible preferred stock-Series A in exchange for the business and assets of five companies (McFarland Group) in a pooling of interests transaction; accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired companies are included in the consolidated financial statements for fiscal 1967.

Since this production payment(together with interest at 55/3% per annum) will be liquidated solely from 93% to 98% of the proceeds of production and is not a liability of the company, the balance is deducted from the total cost of the properties. The statements of earnings include total revenues and expenses related to oil and gas properties. NOTE E -INCOME TAXES: The company and subsidiaries have provided for all known income taxes to which they believe they are subject.
Income tax deficiencies have been proposed by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended October 31, 1960 and 1961.
