HALLIBURTON COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Management Representation
The Company employs accounting policies that are in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires Company management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported assets and liabilities, the disclosed contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ
from those estimates.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
present information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and
applicable rules of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
information or footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
In the opinion of the Company, the financial statements include all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of
March 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 may not be indicative of results for the
full year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.
Note 2. Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," is net income plus direct
adjustments to shareholders' equity. The cumulative translation adjustment of
certain foreign entities is the only such direct adjustment recorded by the
Company.

---------------- ----------------
Total $ 375.7 $ 326.9
================ ================
About forty percent of all sales items are valued using the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method. If the average cost method had been in use for
inventories on the LIFO basis, total inventories would have been about $3.3
million and $3.4 million higher than reported at March 31, 1998 and December 31,
1997, respectively.

Note 4. General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $58.6 million and $51.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Note 5. Income Per Share
Basic income per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income per share includes
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common
shares with a dilutive effect had been issued. Prior year amounts have been
adjusted for the two-for-one common stock split declared on June 9, 1997 and
effected in the form of a stock dividend and paid on July 21, 1997.
The following table reconciles basic and diluted net income.

computation of diluted net income per share because the option exercise price
was greater than the average market price of the common shares.
Note 6. Related Companies
The Company conducts some operations through various joint ventures, which
are in partnership, corporate and other business forms, which are principally
accounted for using the equity method. European Marine Contractors, Limited
(EMC), which is 50% owned by the Company and part of the Energy Group,
specializes in engineering, procurement and construction of marine pipelines.
Summarized operating results for 100% of the operations of EMC are as follows:

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During March 1997, the Company incurred $56.3 million of term loans in
connection with the acquisition of the Royal Dockyard in Plymouth, England (the
Dockyard Loans). The Dockyard Loans are denominated in Sterling and bear
interest at LIBOR plus 0.75% payable in semi-annual installments through March
2004. Pursuant to certain terms of the Dockyard Loans, the Company was required
to provide initially a compensating balance of $28.7 million which is restricted
as to use by the Company. The compensating balance amount decreases in equal
installments over the term of the Dockyard Loans and earns interest at a rate
equal to that of the Dockyard Loans. At March 31, 1998, the compensating balance
of $23.6 million is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved as a potentially responsible party (PRP) in
remedial activities to clean up various "Superfund" sites under applicable
Federal law which imposes joint and several liability, if the harm is
indivisible, on certain persons without regard to fault, the legality of the
original disposal, or ownership of the site. Although it is very difficult to
quantify the potential impact of compliance with environmental protection laws,
management of the Company believes that any liability of the Company with
respect to all but one of such sites will not have a material adverse effect on
the results of operations of the Company. With respect to a site in Jasper
County, Missouri (Jasper County Superfund Site), sufficient information has not
been developed to permit management to make such a determination and management
believes the process of determining the nature and extent of remediation at this
site and the total costs thereof will be lengthy. Brown & Root, Inc. (Brown &
Root), a subsidiary of the Company, has been named as a PRP with respect to the
Jasper County Superfund Site by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
Jasper County Superfund Site includes areas of mining activity that occurred
from the 1800s through the mid 1950s in the southwestern portion of Missouri.
The site contains lead and zinc mine tailings produced from mining activity.
Brown & Root is one of nine participating PRPs which have agreed to perform a
Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS), which, due to various delays,
is not expected to be completed until the fourth quarter of 1998. Although the
entire Jasper County Superfund Site comprises 237 square miles as listed on the
National Priorities List, in the RI/FS scope of work, the EPA has only
identified seven areas, or subsites, within this area that need to be studied
and then possibly remediated by the PRPs. Additionally, the Administrative Order
on Consent for the RI/FS only requires Brown & Root to perform RI/FS work at one
of the subsites within the site, the Neck/Alba subsite, which only comprises
3.95 square miles. Brown & Root's share of the cost of such a study is not
expected to be material. In addition to the superfund issues, the State of
Missouri has indicated that it may pursue natural resource damage claims against
the PRPs. At the present time Brown & Root cannot determine the extent of its
liability, if any, for remediation costs or natural resource damages on any
reasonably practicable basis.
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various other legal
proceedings. Although the ultimate dispositions of such proceedings are not
presently determinable, in the opinion of the Company any liability that may
ensue will not be material in relation to the consolidated financial position
and results of operations of the Company.

Note 9. Acquisitions and Dispositions
During March 1997, the Devonport management consortium, Devonport
Management Limited (DML), which is 51% owned by the Company, completed the
acquisition of Devonport Royal Dockyard plc, which owns and operates the
Government of the United Kingdom's Royal Dockyard in Plymouth, England, for
approximately $64.9 million. Concurrent with the acquisition of the Royal
Dockyard, the Company's ownership interest in DML increased from about 30% to
51% and DML borrowed $56.3 million under term loans. The dockyard principally
provides repair and refitting services for the British Royal Navy's fleet of
submarines and surface ships.
During April 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of the
outstanding common stock of OGC International plc (OGC) for approximately $118.3
million. OGC is engaged in providing a variety of engineering, operations and
maintenance services, primarily to the North Sea oil and gas production
industry.
During July 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock
and convertible debentures of Kinhill Holdings Limited (Kinhill) for
approximately $34 million. Kinhill, headquartered in Australia, provides
engineering in mining and minerals processing, petroleum and chemicals, water
and wastewater, transportation and commercial and civil infrastructure. Kinhill
markets its services primarily in Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore,
India and the Philippines.
In 1997, the Company recorded approximately $99.1 million excess of cost
over net assets acquired primarily related to the purchase acquisitions of OGC
and Kinhill.
On September 30, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of NUMAR
through the merger of a subsidiary of the Company with and into NUMAR, the
conversion of the outstanding NUMAR common stock into an aggregate of
approximately 8.2 million shares of common stock of the Company and the
assumption by the Company of the outstanding NUMAR stock options (for the
exercise of which the Company has reserved an aggregate of approximately 0.9
million shares of common stock of the Company). The merger qualified as a
tax-free exchange and was accounted for using the pooling of interests method of
accounting for business combinations. The Company has not restated its financial
statements to include NUMAR's historical operating results because they were not
material to the Company. NUMAR's assets and liabilities on September 30, 1997
were included in the Company's accounts of the same date, resulting in an
increase in net assets of $21.3 million. Headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania,
NUMAR designs, manufacturers and markets the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Logging
(MRIL(R)) tool which utilizes magnetic resonance imaging technology to evaluate
subsurface rock formations in newly drilled oil and gas wells.
In December 1997, the Company sold its environmental services business to
Tetra Tech, Inc. for approximately $32 million. The sale was prompted by the
Company's desire to divest non-core businesses and had no significant effect on
net income for the year.
Note 10. Halliburton / Dresser Merger
On February 26, 1998 the Company and Dresser Industries, Inc. (Dresser)
announced that a definitive merger agreement was approved by the board of
directors of both companies. Approximately 175 million newly issued shares of
Halliburton common stock will be issued to Dresser shareholders at a one-for-one
exchange ratio. The transaction will be accounted for by the pooling of
interests method of accounting for business combinations and is expected to be
tax-free to Dresser's shareholders. The transaction is subject to regulatory
approvals in the United States, Europe and several other countries, shareholder
approvals and customary closing conditions. Dresser is a diversified company
with operations in three industry segments: engineering services; petroleum
products and services; and energy equipment. On April 20, 1998 the Company and
Dresser announced that the companies have received requests for additional
information concerning the proposed merger from the Antitrust Division of the
Department of Justice. The requests were not unexpected and both the Company and
Dresser plan to respond promptly to the Department of Justice. The companies
continue to expect to complete the merger during the fall of 1998.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The Company operates in over 100 countries around the world to provide a
variety of energy services and engineering and construction services to the
petroleum industry and other energy, industrial and governmental customers.
Operations in some countries may be adversely affected by unsettled political
conditions, expropriation or other governmental actions, exchange controls and
currency devaluations. The Company believes the geographic diversification of
its business activities reduces the risk that loss of its operations in any one
country would be material to its consolidated results of operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
Consolidated revenues increased 24% to $2,355.3 million in the first
quarter of 1998 compared with $1,897.5 million in the same quarter of the prior
year. Approximately 61% of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from
international activities in the first quarter of 1998 compared to 55% in the
first quarter of 1997. Consolidated international revenues increased 36% in the
first quarter of 1998 over the first quarter of 1997.
Energy Group revenues increased by 42% compared with a 9% increase in
drilling activity as measured by the worldwide rotary rig count for the same
quarter of the prior year. United States revenues increased 20% compared to an
increase in the United States rig count of 13% over the same quarter of the
prior year. International revenues increased by 54%.
Engineering and Construction Group revenues decreased 1% to $766.1 million
compared with $777.2 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease
in revenues was due to the sale of the environmental services business in
December 1997, lower activity in the pulp and paper industry, and lower activity
levels in the Group's contract to provide technical and logistical support for
military peacekeeping operations in Bosnia. These decreases were partially
offset by higher engineering and construction services revenues for chemical
construction and maintenance contracts and higher Asia/Pacific revenues due to
the Kinhill acquisition.
Operating income
Consolidated operating income increased 47% to $204.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $138.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. Approximately 55% of the Company's consolidated operating income
was derived from international activities in the first quarter of 1998 compared
to 64% in the first quarter of 1997.
Energy Group operating income increased 58% to $185.0 million in the first
quarter of 1998 compared with $117.2 million in the same quarter of the prior
year. The operating income margin for the first quarter of 1998 was 11.6%
compared with 10.5% for the first quarter of 1997. The increase in operating
income was largely due to pressure pumping activities in North America,
Europe/Africa and Asia/Pacific regions, improved margins on completion products
and services and upstream oil and gas engineering services in Europe.
Engineering and Construction Group operating income decreased 2% to $28.8
million compared with $29.4 million for the same quarter in the prior year.
Operating income margins were 3.8% for the first quarter of 1998 and 1997. The
decrease in operating income reflects the sale of the environmental business in
December 1997 and lower activity levels in the Group's contract to provide
technical and logistical support for military peacekeeping operations in Bosnia
partially offset by improved margins on engineering and construction services
contracts.
Nonoperating Items
Interest expense increased to $11.3 million in the first quarter of 1998
compared with $6.1 million during the same quarter of the prior year due
primarily to the Company's issuance of debt under the Company's medium-term note
program in 1997 for working capital investments and acquisitions.
Interest income decreased to $3.4 million in the first quarter of 1998
compared with $4.4 million during the same quarter of the prior year due to
slightly lower levels of invested cash during the period.
9
The effective income tax rate increased to 38.8% during the first quarter
of 1998 from 38% for the first quarter of 1997 and is expected to remain between
38% and 39% for the year of 1998.
Minority interest in net income of subsidiaries was $3.6 million for the
first quarter of 1998 compared to $2.9 million for the first quarter of 1997.
Net income
Net income in the first quarter of 1998 increased 42% to $117.8 million,
or $0.44 per diluted share, compared with $83.0 million, or $0.32 per diluted
share, in the same quarter of the prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company ended the first quarter of 1998 with cash and cash equivalents
of $93.4 million, a decrease of $127.9 million from the end of 1997.
Operating activities
Cash flows used in operating activities were $26.0 million in the first
three months of 1998, as compared to $88.0 million in the first three months of
1997. The primary use of operating cash flow was to fund working capital
requirements related to increased revenues from the Energy Group and for
Engineering and Construction Group projects.
Investing Activities
Capital expenditures were $156.3 million for the first quarter of 1998, an
increase of 39% over the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in capital
spending primarily reflects investments in equipment and infrastructure for the
Energy Group including strategic investments in oil and gas developments. The
Company also continued its planned investment in its enterprise-wide information
system.
During March 1997, DML, which is 51% owned by the Company, completed the
acquisition of Devonport Royal Dockyard plc, which owns and operates the
Government of the United Kingdom's Royal Dockyard in Plymouth, England, for
approximately $64.9 million. Concurrent with the acquisition of the Royal
Dockyard, the Company's ownership interest in DML increased from 30% to 51% and
DML borrowed $56.3 million under term loans (the Loans) bearing interest at
approximately LIBOR plus 0.75% payable in semi-annual installments through March
2004. Pursuant to certain terms of the Loans, the Company is required to provide
initially a compensating balance of $28.7 million which is restricted as to use
by the Company. The compensating balance amount decreases in equal installments
over the term of the Loans and earns interest at a rate equal to that of the
Loans.
Financing activities
Cash flows from financing activities were $43.9 million in the first three
months of 1998 compared to $96.9 million in the first three months of 1997. The
Company borrowed $70.0 million in short-term funds consisting of bank loans and
$2.9 million of other short-term borrowings in the first three months of 1998.
In the first three months of 1997, the Company repaid $45.0 million in
short-term funds consisting of commercial paper and bank loans and issued $125.0
million principal amount of 6.75% notes under the Company's medium-term note
program.
The Company believes it has sufficient borrowing capacity to fund its
working capital requirements and investing activities. At March 31, 1998 the
Company had committed short-term lines of credit totaling $200.0 million
available and unused, and other short-term lines of credit totaling $275.0
million with several U.S. banks. Short-term borrowings of $70.0 million were
outstanding under these facilities at March 31, 1998.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT MARKET RISK
The Company is currently exposed to market risk from changes in foreign
currency exchange rates, and to a lesser extent, to changes in interest rates.
To mitigate market risk, the Company selectively hedges its foreign currency
exposure through the use of currency derivative instruments. The objective of
such hedging is to protect the Company's dollar cash flows from fluctuations in
currency rates of foreign denominated sales or purchases of goods or services.
10
Inherent in the use of derivative instruments are certain types of market risk:
volatility of the currency rates, tenor (time horizon) of the derivative
instruments, market cycles and the type of derivative instruments used. The
Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
There have been no material changes at March 31, 1998 to the amounts reported at
December 31, 1997 to the Company's calculated value at risk from foreign
exchange derivative instruments. The Company's interest rate exposures at March
31, 1998 were also materially unchanged from December 31, 1997.
HALLIBURTON / DRESSER MERGER
On February 26, 1998 the Company and Dresser Industries, Inc. (Dresser)
announced that a definitive merger agreement was approved by the board of
directors of both companies. Approximately 175 million newly issued shares of
Halliburton common stock will be issued to Dresser shareholders at a one-for-one
exchange ratio. The transaction will be accounted for by the pooling of
interests method of accounting for business combinations and is expected to be
tax-free to Dresser's shareholders. The transaction is subject to regulatory
approvals in the United States, Europe and several other countries, shareholder
approvals and customary closing conditions. Dresser is a diversified company
with operations in three industry segments: engineering services; petroleum
products and services; and energy equipment. On April 20, 1998 the Company and
Dresser announced that the companies have received requests for additional
information concerning the proposed merger from the Antitrust Division of the
Department of Justice. The requests were not unexpected and both the Company and
Dresser plan to respond promptly to the Department of Justice. The companies
continue to expect to complete the merger during the fall of 1998.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is involved as a potentially responsible party in remedial
activities to clean up various "Superfund" sites under applicable federal law
which imposes joint and several liability, if the harm is indivisible, on
certain persons without regard to fault, the legality of the original disposal,
or ownership of the site. Although it is very difficult to quantify the
potential impact of compliance with environmental protection laws, management of
the Company believes that any liability of the Company with respect to all but
one of such sites will not have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations of the Company. See Note 8 to the financial statements.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 issue is the risk that computer programs using two-digit
date fields will fail to properly recognize the Year 2000. Such computer system
failures by the Company's software and hardware or that of government entities,
service providers, vendors and customers could result in business interruptions.
In response to the Year 2000 issue, the Company has formed a cross-functional
task force responsible for assessing the Company's Year 2000 readiness. The task
force has developed a comprehensive plan to assess the Company's Year 2000 risk
and is in the process of performing its review. The Company's approach is
intended to minimize the number and impact of Year 2000 problems. The Company
anticipates that certain software will require replacement or modification.
Independent of, but concurrent with, the Company's Year 2000 review, the Company
is installing an enterprise-wide business information system. This information
system is scheduled to replace approximately two-thirds of the Company's key
finance, administrative and marketing software systems before the end of 1999
and is Year 2000 compliant. In addition, the Company is in the process of
replacing its desktop computing equipment and software. Based on the Company's
review to date, it does not expect the cost of software replacement or
modification not currently included in the Company's enterprise-wide information
system to be material to its financial position or results of operations.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." This standard defines reporting
requirements for operating segments and related information about products and
services, geographic areas and reliance on major customers. The Company is
11
evaluating the impact of this statement on its current reporting and expects to
adopt the new standard for its year ending December 31, 1998, with interim
reporting beginning in 1999.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
In accordance with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions that the statements in this
quarterly report and elsewhere, which are forward-looking and which provide
other than historical information, involve risks and uncertainties that may
impact the Company's actual results of operations. While such forward-looking
information reflects the Company's best judgment based on current information,
it involves a number of risks and uncertainties and there can be no assurance
that other factors will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking
information. While it is not possible to identify all factors, the Company
continues to face many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ from those forward-looking statements. Such factors include: unsettled
political conditions, war, civil unrest, currency controls and governmental
actions in over 100 countries of operation; trade restrictions and economic
embargoes imposed by the United States and other countries; environmental laws,
including those that require emission performance standards for new and existing
facilities; the magnitude of governmental spending for military and logistical
support of the type provided by the Company; operations in countries with
significant amounts of political risk, including, without limitation, Algeria
and Nigeria; technological and structural changes in the industries served by
the Company; computer software and hardware and other equipment utilizing
computer technology used by governmental entities, service providers, vendors,
customers and the Company which may be impacted by the Year 2000 issue;
completion of the announced merger with Dresser; integration of acquired
businesses into the Company; changes in the price of oil and natural gas;
changes in the price of commodity chemicals used by the Company; changes in
capital spending by customers in the hydrocarbon industry for exploration,
development, production, processing, refining and pipeline delivery networks;
increased competition in the hiring and retention of employees; changes in
capital spending by customers in the wood pulp and paper industries for plants
and equipment; risks from entering into fixed fee engineering, procurement and
construction projects where failure to meet schedule, cost estimates or
performance targets could result in non-reimbursable costs which cause the
project not to meet expected profit margins; and changes in capital spending by
governments for infrastructure. In addition, future trends for pricing, margins,
revenues and profitability remain difficult to predict in the industries served
by the Company.
