Together With Report Of Independent Public Accountants





                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Profit Sharing Committee of the
Halliburton Profit Sharing and Savings Plan:

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for plan
benefits of the  Halliburton  Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related  statements of changes in net assets
available  for  plan  benefits  for  the  years  then  ended.   These  financial
statements,   and  the  supplemental   schedule   referred  to  below,  are  the
responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these  financial  statements and  supplemental  schedule based on our
audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996,  and the changes in its net assets  available for
plan benefits for the years then ended,  in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedule of assets held
for investment  purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic  financial  statements but is  supplementary
information  required  by the  Department  of Labor's Rules and Regulations  for
Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of
1974. The Fund  Information  in the statements of net assets  available for plan
benefits  and the  statements  of changes in its net assets  available  for plan
benefits is  presented  for the purpose of  additional  analysis  rather than to
present the net assets  available  for plan  benefits  and changes in net assets
available for plan  benefits of each fund.  The  supplemental  schedule and Fund
Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial  statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material  respects  in  relation to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a
whole.

HALLIBURTON PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996 1. SUMMARY OF PLAN: The Halliburton Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the "Plan") is a defined contribution profit sharing pension plan for qualified employees of Halliburton Company and certain subsidiaries (the "Company"). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). During 1997 and 1996, the Plan consisted of four investment funds: the General Investment Fund (GIF), the Fixed Income Fund (FIF), the Halliburton Stock Fund (HSF) for Halliburton Company common stock, and the Equity Investment Fund (EIF). Excess Company profits, if any, are shared with Plan participants through Company contributions into the GIF based on a formula as defined by the Plan agreement. The Company's annual contribution, if any, is allocated to participants based on the proportion that each participant's basic earnings, as defined by the Plan agreement, bear to the total basic earnings of all qualified participants during the Plan year. Participants are immediately vested in their contributions. Participants vest in their Company contributions 20% after three years of credited service and 20% each credited year of service thereafter. Participants also become fully vested in their Company contributions if they are active employees at age 50, or upon death or permanent disability regardless of years of service. The Plan allows participants to make monthly transfers of their company contributions among the GIF, FIF, HSF, and EIF. The amount of the transfer may be all or any portion of the participant's account balance, subject to certain limitations on transfers to the HSF. Participant's investments of Company contributions in the HSF may not exceed 15% of their total Company contributions account balance. Participants may elect to contribute to the tax deferred savings feature of the Plan through periodic payroll deductions. These contributions are limited to 15% of the participant's gross compensation of up to $160,000 and $150,000 for 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Plan participants who contribute also receive Company matching contributions equal to 50% of the first 4% of a participant's contributions. Matching contributions are subject to the same vesting schedule as the profit sharing contributions made to the participants' Company contributions accounts, as described above. Participant contributions and matching contributions may be directed in whole percentage increments to the GIF, FIF, and/or the EIF by the participant, as well as to the HSF, subject to certain limitations. Qualified participants may voluntarily make annual cash contributions to regular savings (after tax) of a certain amount to the GIF, FIF, or the EIF, or the participants may divide their investment allocation between the three funds in whole percentage increments. The participants may make contributions into the Plan either by periodic payroll deductions or by a yearly lump-sum contribution (regular savings only). The participant's federal income taxes on tax-deferred savings and Company contributions and earnings on regular savings are deferred until the participant withdraws the funds from the Plan. Participants' contributions to their accounts are fully vested when made. Upon termination, if a participant's right to any shares in his/her Company contributions accounts is forfeitable, those amounts would be allocated to the remaining qualified participants. Such forfeitures are allocated to remaining participants on December 31 of the year in which the forfeiture occurred in the same manner as that of the Company's contributions, as described above. Any Company matching contributions to tax-deferred savings subject to forfeiture upon termination are used to reduce future Company matching contributions. Forfeitures allocated in this manner totaled $473,113 and $777,642 for Plan years ended 1997 and 1996, respectively. Unallocated forfeitures for the Plan year ended 1997 totaled $2,142. Effective January 1, 1991, the Company created the Halliburton Retirement Plan, which provides participants of the Plan with a guaranteed minimum retirement benefit. This guaranteed minimum is based on the participant's final average pay, years of participation service after January 1, 1990, and his/her age. A participant's post-1989 profit sharing account (Company contributions only) is used as an offset to the minimum guaranteed benefit. Participants may elect to transfer their total retirement plan benefit to the Plan. The participant is able to direct the transfer into one of three funds (GIF, FIF or the EIF). The amount of the benefit eligible to be rolled over is the actuarially determined amount which is eligible to be received by the participant. Transfers may be made during any month of the year. A participant is eligible for these options upon attainment of either the normal retirement age (65) or early retirement age (55 or 50 during specified periods). The Board of Directors of the Company may amend, modify, or terminate the Plan at any time. No such termination is contemplated, but if it should occur, the accounts of all participants would be immediately fully vested and paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Cash Equivalents The Plan considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Allocation of Master Trust Net Investment Activity The allocation of Master Trust net investment activity represents the Plan's share of the net investment income or loss on investments held by the Halliburton Company Employee Benefit Master Trust ("Master Trust") determined by the Plan's allocable share of the net assets of the Master Trust. Net investment income or loss is the realized net gain (loss) from investments sold, change in the unrealized net gain (loss) on investments, dividend income, and interest income, less related expenses recorded by the Master Trust (see Note 3). Accrued Expenses Accrued expenses represent amounts owed for unclaimed participant checks greater than 90 days old and miscellaneous administrative expenses as of the end of the year. Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses which are related to compliance and operational activities as defined by the Department of Labor may be charged against the Plan assets at the discretion of the Plan administrator and in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Certain expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company. The Plan is not liable to the Company for these expenses paid on its behalf. Excess Contributions Excess contributions represent pretax and after-tax amounts contributed to participant accounts which exceeded the statutory limits, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, and earnings thereon. These amounts were refunded to participants subsequent to year-end and were included in the participant's personal income. Payment of Benefits Benefits are recorded when paid. Use of Estimates Preparation of the Plan's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Plan's financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. MASTER TRUST: The assets of the Plan are combined with the assets of certain other benefit plans of affiliated companies in the Master Trust. There are four funds within the Master Trust: the GIF, FIF, EIF, and the HSF. The combination of the Plans' assets is only for investment purposes, and each plan continues to be operated under its current Plan agreement, as amended. The funds within the Master Trust hold bank, insurance and investment contracts providing a fully benefit-responsive feature. These investments are stated at contract value. Where the Trust owns the underlying securities of asset-backed investment contracts, the contracts are stated at fair market value of the underlying securities plus an adjustment for the difference between fair market value of the underlying securities and contract value. Contract value represents the principal balance of the investment plus accrued interest at the stated contract rate, less payments received and contract charges by the insurance company or bank. Cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments, stock securities, bond and notes and all other debt securities are presented at their quoted market value. Realized and unrealized changes in market values are recognized in the period in which the changes occur. The GIF invests in the EIF to obtain its equity exposure. The EIF operates on a unitized basis. All EIF investments are valued at the end of the month. The unit price is calculated by dividing the total value of the assets by the total number of units in existence. Contributions into and withdrawals from the EIF, in the course of a month, are used to buy and sell units at the preceding month-end's unit price. Real estate mortgages are stated at cost plus accrued interest less payments received. Real estate holdings are stated at their estimated market values as determined by an independent appraiser. The assets of the Plan were held by the Master Trust during 1997 and 1996 (as described above) and, accordingly, investment activity for 1997 and 1996 was recorded by the Master Trust. The Master Trust investment activity is included in the summary statements below. The following are summary statements of net assets and summary statements of changes in net assets of the Master Trust for the years ended 1997 and 1996 (dollar amounts in thousands):

The Master Trust makes use of several investment strategies involving the limited use of derivative investments. The Master Trust's management, as a matter of policy and with risk management as their primary objective, monitors such risk indicators as duration and where applicable, counter-party credit risk. These are monitored for both the derivatives themselves and for the investment portfolios holding the derivatives. Investment managers are allowed to use derivatives for such strategies as portfolio structuring, return enhancement, and hedging against deterioration of investment holdings from market and interest rate changes. Derivatives are also used as a hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. The Master Trust management does not allow investment managers for the Master Trust to use leveraging for any investment purchase. Derivative investments are stated at estimated fair market values as determined by quoted market prices. Gains and losses on such investments are included in the combining statements of changes in net assets. 4. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter dated August 20, 1997, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). 5. INVESTMENTS: Individual investments in excess of 5% of net assets available for Plan benefits are as follows:
1997 1996 ----------------- ----------------- Master Trust - GIF $ 1,165,586,649 $ 1,045,332,198 Master Trust - FIF 579,025,670 596,259,764 Master Trust - EIF 214,342,154 120,484,109 Master Trust - HSF 159,058,037 93,662,771
6. TRANSFER OF ASSETS: During 1997, the Plan received $685,457 from the Enertech Engineering & Research Co. Profit Sharing Plan (the "Enertech Plan"). The transfer of assets from the Enertech Plan was due to the purchase of Enertech Engineering & Research Co. by the Company. Former Enertech employees now participate in the Halliburton Profit Sharing and Savings Plan and their former Enertech Plan accounts were transferred into the Plan. 7. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS: State Street Trust is the trustee defined by the Plan. The assets of the Plan are held by the Master Trust, of which State Street Trust is also the trustee. Therefore these assets qualify as party-in-interest. 8. UNITS OF PARTICIPATION: The Plan assigns units of participation to participants. The following details the total number of units and net asset value per unit as of December 31, 1997 and 1996:
Fund Units Net Asset Value Per Unit - ---- ------------------ ------------------------ 1997 - ---- GIF 924,533,444 1.3250 FIF 502,991,613 1.1503 EIF 144,861,322 1.4762 HSF 73,062,027 2.1772 1996 - ---- GIF 953,901,264 1.1384 FIF 557,251,316 1.0705 EIF 100,095,582 1.2049 HSF 74,699,406 1.2538
