| Infant Products Industry Birth rates declined in 2008, when nearly 2% fewer babies were born than in 2007, which was a record-setting year for births. This represents the first decline in the birth rate since 2002, following the recession caused by the bursting of the dot.com bubble, Enron and 9-11. An exception to the 2008 decline was for mothers aged 40 or older, which was the only age group to experience an increase in the birth rate from 2007 to 2008. 41% of births were to unmarried mothers in 2008, compared to 18% in 1980.

| Infant Products Industry First births represent 40% of all births. New parents spend approximately $6,200 outfitting mom and baby in the first year. More parents are decorating the nursery for the second child where the second child's gender is different than the first. One out of every three adults is a grandparent, who purchase many of the nursery items. Births represent significant purchasing events regardless of economic conditions or household income. Many items are non-discretionary. Birth-related purchases are not generally made on impulse, as families have nine months to deliberate on purchasing decisions. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 70% of parents learn the baby's gender before birth. 7 |

| Concerns over CIT Group, Inc. Beginning in March 2008, Crown Crafts had drawn down the bulk of the availability on its revolving line of credit with CIT in the event that CIT's liquidity deteriorated to the point that they were unable to fund draws upon the revolving line of credit. The cash held by Crown Crafts would have enabled the Company to meet its short-term operating needs and have given it time to secure suitable factoring and financing arrangements with other lenders. On November 1, 2009, CIT filed voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 relief. The filings were made pursuant to a prepackaged plan of reorganization which was approved by a majority of the holders of debt securities of CIT. The plan was confirmed by the bankruptcy court on December 8, 2009. On December 16, 2009, the bulk of the excess cash that had been drawn down on the revolving line of credit was repaid to CIT. On March 5, 2010, the Company extended its revolving line of credit with CIT to July 2013. July 2013. July 2013. July 2013. July 2013. July 2013. July 2013. July 2013. July 2013. July 2013.

| Attendees and other viewers of the preceding presentation are advised to read all reports and other filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Copies of these filings may be obtained, without charge, by directing a request to Halliburton Investor Relations, 14651 Dallas Parkway, Suite 800, Dallas, TX 75254, or at www.sec.gov. Dallas, TX 75254, or at www.sec.gov. Dallas, TX 75254, or at www.sec.gov. Dallas, TX 75254, or at www.sec.gov. Dallas, TX 75254, or at www.sec.gov. Dallas, TX 75254, or at www.sec.gov. 32 For Additional Information Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to the Company's presentation of its results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company has also presented certain measures of its performance which are not determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA and the pro forma restatement of net income to exclude the goodwill impairment charge. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to monitor the Company's operating results and cash flow and to evaluate the performance of its businesses. The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to attendees and is an important indicator of the Company's ability to generate cash sufficient to reduce debt, declare and pay dividends, make strategic investments, meet capital expenditures and working capital requirements and otherwise meet its obligations as they become due. The items excluded from non-GAAP financial measures are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company's financial performance. The non- GAAP measures are provided as supplemental information and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, such GAAP measures as net income or loss, cash flow provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities, and other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP. Because these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, companies typically calculate them in varying ways. Therefore, the non-GAAP financial measures, as presented by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. |
