Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

NOTE 1. GENERAL

Nature of Operations

Baker Hughes Incorporated (“Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is engaged in the oilfield services industry. We are a major supplier of wellbore-related products and technology services and systems and provide products and services for drilling, pressure pumping, formation evaluation, completion and production, and reservoir technology and consulting to the worldwide oil and natural gas industry. We also provide products and services to the downstream refining, and process and pipeline industries.

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (“2009 Annual Report”). We believe the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

In the notes to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements, all dollar and share amounts in tabulations are in millions of dollars and shares, respectively, unless otherwise indicated.

New Accounting Standards

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605,Revenue Recognition — Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) addresses accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for deliverables separately. The provision establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. This update requires expanded disclosures for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for us for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. We have not determined the impact, if any, on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

ACQUISITION OF BJ SERVICES

On April 28, 2010, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of BJ Services Company (including its successor “BJ Services”) in a cash and stock transaction valued at $6,897 million. BJ Services is a leading provider of pressure pumping and other oilfield services and was acquired to expand the product offerings of the Company. For the year ended September 30, 2009, BJ Services’ revenues were $4,122 million. They employed approximately 14,000 people and operated in over 50 countries. Revenues and net income of BJ Services from the acquisition date included in our consolidated condensed statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $1,403 million and $134 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $2,202 million and $164 million, respectively.

Pursuant to a final agreement with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) in connection with the governmental approval of the acquisition, we were required to divest two leased stimulation vessels (theHR HughesandBlue Ray) and certain other assets used to perform sand control services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Additionally, pursuant to a Hold Separate Stipulation and Order, the operation of our U.S. business and the U.S. business of BJ Services were required to be operated separately until these assets were divested. On August 30, 2010, we completed the sale of such assets for approximately $55 million in cash. Upon the completion of the sale, the Hold Separate Stipulation and Order terminated and we commenced to fully integrate BJ Services into Baker Hughes globally.

Baker Hughes Incorporated
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (continued)

Consideration

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, BJ Services stockholders received $2.69 per share in cash and 0.40035 Baker Hughes shares of common stock for each BJ Services share of common stock they owned. In total, we paid $793 million in cash and issued 118 million shares valued at $6,048 million (based upon the closing price of our common stock on the acquisition date of $51.24). We also assumed all outstanding stock options held by BJ Services employees and directors.

The BJ Services stock options outstanding at closing were converted into Baker Hughes options at the conversion ratio. The estimated fair value associated with the Baker Hughes options issued in exchange for the BJ Services options was $58 million based on a Black-Scholes valuation model. All BJ Services stock options became fully vested and exercisable in accordance with pre-existing change-in-control provisions. Accordingly, $56 million of the estimated fair value was recorded as part of the consideration transferred, with the remaining $2 million recorded as an expense as of the date of the acquisition when all options vested and no further service was required.

Total consideration transferred in acquiring BJ Services is summarized as follows:


Cash consideration paid: 295 million shares at $2.69	$	793
Equity consideration paid: 118 million shares valued $51.24		6,048
Fair value of BJ Services options assumed		56

Fair value of consideration transferred	$	6,897

Recording of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires that, among other things, assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration transferred over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. We have not finalized the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and therefore, the fair values set forth below are subject to adjustment once the valuations are completed. We will finalize these items as we obtain the information necessary to complete the analysis, and we expect to be substantially complete with this analysis during the fourth quarter of 2010. Under U.S. GAAP, companies have one year after an acquisition to finalize the acquisition accounting. The following table summarizes the provisional amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.


	Estimated Fair Value

Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	113
Accounts receivable		954
Inventories		425
Other current assets		123
Property, plant and equipment		2,754

Other long-term liabilities		(76	)

Net Assets Acquired	$	6,897

Baker Hughes Incorporated
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (continued)

Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”)

A step-up adjustment of $415 million was recorded to present the PP&E acquired at its estimated fair value. The preliminary weighted average useful life used to calculate depreciation of the step-up related to PPE is approximately six years.

Intangible assets

We identified other intangible assets associated with pressure pumping and other services, including trade names, technology, in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), and customer relationships. We consider the BJ Services trade name to be an indefinite life intangible asset, which will not be amortized and will be subject to an annual impairment test. We have not finalized the determination of the estimated useful lives and methods to be used in calculating the amortization expense related to these intangible assets.

The following table summarizes the fair value estimates recorded for the identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives:


	Estimated Fair Value		Estimated Useful Life

Customer relationships	$	313	2-17 years
Technology		449	5-15 years
BJ Services trade name		383	Indefinite
Other trade names		41	5-12 years
IPR&D		147	6-14 years

Total Identifiable Intangible Assets	$	1,333

Deferred taxes

We provided deferred taxes and other tax liabilities as part of the acquisition accounting related to the estimated fair market value adjustments for acquired intangible assets and PP&E, as well as for uncertain tax positions taken in prior year tax returns. An adjustment of $1,227 million was recorded to present the deferred taxes and other tax liabilities at fair value. Included in the adjustment is deferred taxes of $650 million for the outside basis difference associated with shares in certain BJ Services foreign subsidiaries for which no taxes have been previously provided. We expect to reverse the outside basis difference primarily through repatriating earnings from those subsidiaries in lieu of permanently reinvesting them as well as through the reorganization of those subsidiaries. We are still assessing certain factors that impact the outside basis difference related to the BJ Services foreign subsidiaries, other deferred taxes and uncertain tax positions. The deferred tax liabilities and other tax liabilities will be revised after the assessment is finalized, which we expect to be substantially complete during the fourth quarter of 2010.

Debt

Our acquisition subsidiary assumed all of the obligations of BJ Services in respect of $250 million principal amount of 5.75% senior notes due June 2011 and $250 million principal amount of 6.00% senior notes due June 2018. A step-up adjustment of $34 million was recorded to present these notes at their estimated fair value.

Liabilities for pensions and other postretirement benefits

We assumed several defined benefit pension plans covering certain employees primarily in the U.K., Norway and Canada. Additionally, we assumed a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”), as well as postretirement benefit plans that provide certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees, primarily in the United States, who meet specified age and service requirements. A step-up adjustment of $25 million was recorded to present these liabilities at their estimated fair value.

Baker Hughes Incorporated
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (continued)

The following is a summary of the funded position of the assumed BJ Services plans as of the acquisition date, as well as associated weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations:


			Other Postretirement
	Pension Benefit Plans		Benefit Plans

Projected benefit obligation	$	280	$	26
Fair value of plan assets		160		—

Net Unfunded Status	$	120	$	26


Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet:

Liabilities for pensions and other postretirement benefits	$	120	$	26

Weighted average assumption used to determine benefit obligations at the acquisition date and net periodic benefit cost from the acquisition date through December 31, 2010:


				Other Postretirement
	Pension Benefit Plans			Benefit Plans

Discount rate		5.24	%		6.18	%
Rate of compensation increase		4.30	%		n/a

Goodwill

Goodwill of $4,192 million was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It specifically includes the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of BJ Services with the operations of Baker Hughes and any intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the assembled workforce. During the third quarter of 2010, we allocated the goodwill to our reporting units based on the provisional amounts recognized for the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (See Note 9 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets). Goodwill in the amount of $43 million is deductible for tax purposes as a result of previous taxable acquisitions made by BJ Services.

Acquisition-Related Costs

Acquisition-related costs are being expensed as incurred. They include expenses directly related to acquiring BJ Services and integration expenses incurred in combining the companies. These costs are classified as acquisition-related costs on our consolidated condensed statement of operations.

Pro Forma Impact of the Acquisition

The following unaudited supplemental pro forma results present consolidated information as if the acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2009. The pro forma results include: (i) the amortization associated with an estimate of the acquired intangible assets, (ii) interest expense associated with debt used to fund a portion of the acquisition and reduced interest income associated with cash used to fund a portion of the acquisition, (iii) the impact of certain fair value adjustments such as additional depreciation expense for adjustments to property, plant and equipment and reduction to interest expense for adjustments to debt, and (iv) costs directly related to acquiring BJ Services. The pro forma results do not include any potential synergies, cost savings or other expected benefits of the acquisition. Accordingly, the pro forma results should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition and related borrowings had been consummated as of January 1, 2009, or January 1, 2010 nor are they indicative of future results.

OTHER ACQUISITIONS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we completed several other acquisitions having an aggregate purchase price of approximately $172 million, net of cash acquired of $5 million. As a result of these acquisitions, we recorded $96 million of goodwill, which is subject to final acquisition accounting adjustments. Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because the effect of these acquisitions was not material to our consolidated condensed financial statements.

NOTE 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Beginning in the second quarter of 2010, we changed our internal reporting structure to align with our geographical organization for which separate financial information is available and results are evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”). Accordingly, we now report our financial results based on the five reportable segments detailed below.

•

North America (Canada, U.S., and Trinidad)

•

Latin America (Central and South America including Mexico and excluding Trinidad)

•

Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian (“EARC”) (Europe, Africa — excluding Egypt, and Russia and the republics of the former Soviet Union)

•

Middle East/Asia Pacific (“MEAP”) — (including Egypt)

•

Industrial and Other (downstream chemicals, process and pipeline services, reservoir and technology consulting businesses)

All prior period segment disclosures have been restated to reflect the new segments. The financial results of BJ Services have been included in each of the five reportable segments from the date of acquisition on April 28, 2010, through September 30, 2010, in a manner consistent with our internal reporting structure.

The performance of our segments is evaluated based on segment profit (loss), which is defined as income before income taxes, interest expense, interest income, and certain gains and losses not allocated to the segments.

Summarized financial information is shown in the following table.


	Three Months Ended					Three Months Ended

NOTE 4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We grant various forms of equity based awards to directors, officers and other key employees. These equity based awards consist primarily of stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock awards and units is based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant.

We also have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) available for eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock. Effective January 1, 2010, the ESPP provides for shares to be purchased: (i) on June 30 of each year at a 15% discount of the fair market value of our common stock on January 1 or June 30, whichever is lower, and (ii) on December 31 of each year at a 15% discount of fair market value of our common stock on July 1 or December 31, whichever is lower. Also effective January 1, 2010, an employee may not contribute more than $5,000 in either of the six-month measurement periods described above or $10,000 annually.

The following summarizes stock-based compensation expense recognized in our consolidated condensed statements of operations:

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES

In the third quarter of 2010, total income tax expense of $111 million includes a $12 million tax benefit on costs associated with the BJ Services acquisition. Excluding the impact of the acquisition-related costs, our effective tax rate on operating profits in the third quarter of 2010 is 32.5%, which is lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 35% due to tax benefits arising from the repatriation of foreign earnings partially offset by higher rates of tax on certain international operations and state income taxes.

For the first nine months of 2010, total income tax expense of $285 million includes a $20 million tax benefit on costs associated with the BJ Services acquisition. Excluding the impact of the acquisition-related costs, our effective tax rate on operating profits for the first nine months of 2010 is 36%, which is higher than the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 35% due to higher rates of tax on certain international operations and state income taxes partially offset by tax benefits arising from the repatriation of foreign earnings.

Intangible assets are amortized either on a straight-line basis with estimated useful lives ranging from 1 to 20 years, or on a basis that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be realized, which range from 15 to 30 years. As a result of the acquisition of BJ Services, we recognized intangible assets of $1,333 million (See Note 2 - Acquisitions). We have not finalized the determination of the estimated useful lives and amortization methods to be used in calculating the amortization expense related to the intangibles recorded as a result of the acquisition of BJ Services.

Amortization expense for intangible assets included in net income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $18 million and $48 million, respectively, and is estimated to be $70 million for 2010. Estimated amortization expense for each of the subsequent five fiscal years is expected to be as follows: 2011 — $90 million; 2012 — $86 million; 2013 — $85 million; 2014 — $84 million; and 2015 — $79 million.

NOTE 10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt, foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. Except as described below, the estimated fair value of such financial instruments at September 30, 2010 as reflected in our consolidated condensed balance sheet approximates their carrying value due to the short maturities of these instruments.

Short-term Investments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we purchased $250 million of short-term investments consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills, which will mature in May of 2011.

Baker Hughes Incorporated
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (continued)

Debt

The estimated fair value of total debt at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, was $4,369 million and $2,126 million, which differs from the carrying amount of $3,846 million and $1,800 million, respectively, included in our consolidated condensed balance sheet. The fair value of our debt has been estimated based on quoted market prices for the respective period.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We conduct our business in over 90 countries around the world, and we are exposed to market risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. A number of our significant foreign subsidiaries have designated the local currency as their functional currency. We transact in various foreign currencies and seek to balance our foreign currency exposures by matching our revenue and costs in non-functional currencies where practical. Where imbalances in the non-functional currencies remain we have established a program that primarily utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Under this program, our strategy is to have gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts mitigate the foreign currency transaction gains or losses to the extent practical. These foreign currency exposures typically arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Our foreign currency forward contracts generally settle within 180 days. We do not use these forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We designate these forward contracts as fair value hedging instruments. Accordingly, we record the fair value of these contracts as of the end of our reporting period to our consolidated condensed balance sheet with changes in fair value recorded in our consolidated condensed statement of operations along with the change in fair value of the hedged item.

At September 30, 2010, we had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts aggregating $187 million to hedge exposure to currency fluctuations in various foreign currencies. These contracts expire on various dates prior to the end of 2010. These contracts are designated and qualify as fair value hedging instruments. The fair value was determined using a model with Level 2 inputs including quoted market prices for contracts with similar terms and maturity dates.

Interest Rate Swaps

We are subject to interest rate risk on our debt and investment of cash and cash equivalents arising in the normal course of our business, as we do not engage in speculative trading strategies. We maintain an interest rate management strategy, which primarily uses a mix of fixed and variable rate debt that is intended to mitigate the exposure to changes in interest rates in the aggregate for our investment portfolio. In addition, we are currently using interest rate swaps to manage the economic effect of fixed rate obligations associated with our senior notes so that the interest payable on the senior notes effectively becomes linked to variable rates.

In June 2009, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“the Swap Agreements”) for a notional amount of $250 million each in order to hedge changes in the fair market value of our $500 million 6.5% senior notes maturing on November 15, 2013. Under the Swap Agreements, we receive interest at a fixed rate of 6.5% and pay interest at a floating rate of one-month Libor plus a spread of 3.67% on one swap and three-month Libor plus a spread of 3.54% on the second swap both through November 15, 2013. The counterparties are primarily the lenders in our credit facilities. The Swap Agreements are designated and each qualifies as a fair value hedging instrument. The swap to three-month Libor is deemed to be 100 percent effective resulting in no gain or loss recorded in the consolidated condensed statement of operations. The effectiveness of the swap to one-month Libor, which is highly effective, is calculated as of each period end and any ineffective portion is recognized in the consolidated condensed statement of operations. The fair value of the Swap Agreements was determined using a model with Level 2 inputs including quoted market prices for contracts with similar terms and maturity dates.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The fair value of derivative instruments included in our consolidated condensed balance sheet was as follows as of September 30, 2010:


Derivative	Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts	Other assets	$	7
Interest Rate Swaps	Other assets	$	30

Baker Hughes Incorporated

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts	Marketing, general and administrative	$	11	$	1
Interest Rate Swaps	Interest Expense	$	2	$	12

NOTE 11. INDEBTEDNESS

On March 19, 2010, we entered into a credit agreement (the “2010 Credit Agreement”). The 2010 Credit Agreement is a three-year committed $1.2 billion revolving credit facility that expires on March 19, 2013. At September 30, 2010, we had $1.7 billion of committed revolving credit facilities with commercial banks, consisting of the 2010 Credit Agreement ($1.2 billion) and a $500 million facility expiring on July 7, 2012. Both facilities contain certain covenants which, among other things, require the maintenance of a funded indebtedness to total capitalization ratio (a defined formula per each agreement), restrict certain merger transactions or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or a significant subsidiary and limit the amount of subsidiary indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, our obligations under the facilities may be accelerated. Such events of default include payment defaults to lenders under the facilities, covenant defaults and other customary defaults.

Concurrent with the acquisition of BJ Services, we assumed and guaranteed the BJ Services outstanding notes, namely its $250 million 5.75% notes due June 2011 and its $250 million 6.00% notes due June 2018.

On August 24, 2010, we sold $1,500 million of 5.125% Senior Notes that will mature September 15, 2040 (the “Notes”) under our Indenture dated as of October 28, 2008. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $1,479 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and expenses of the offering. We used $511 million of the net proceeds to repay our outstanding commercial paper. We will use $250 million of the net proceeds to repay the BJ Services 5.75% notes maturing June 2011. The remaining net proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, which could include funding on-going operations, business acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock. Interest on the Notes is payable March 15 and September 15 of each year. The first interest payment will be made on March 15, 2011, and will consist of accrued interest from August 24, 2010. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness; senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness; and effectively junior to our future secured indebtedness, if any, and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries. We may redeem, at our option, all or part of the Notes at any time, at the applicable make-whole redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

At September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the facility covenants of both committed credit facilities. There were no direct borrowings under the committed credit facilities during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. We also have a commercial paper program under which we may issue up to $1.0 billion in commercial paper with maturity of no more than 270 days. To the extent we have commercial paper outstanding, our ability to borrow under the facilities is reduced. At September 30, 2010, we had no commercial paper outstanding.

NOTE 12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

We have both funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plans (“Pension Benefits”) covering certain employees primarily in the U.S., the U.K., Germany and several countries in the Middle East region. We also provide certain postretirement health care benefits (“other postretirement benefits”), through unfunded plans, to substantially all U.S. employees who retire and have met certain age and service requirements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we made contributions of $31 million to our defined benefit pension plans, $11 million to our other postretirement benefit plans, and $125 million to our defined contribution plans. We presently anticipate contributing an additional $61 million to our defined benefit pension plans, $4 million to our other postretirement plans, and $46 million to our defined contribution plans during the fourth quarter of 2010.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION

We are involved in litigation or proceedings that have arisen in our ordinary business activities as well as litigation or proceedings assumed in connection with the acquisition of BJ Services. We insure against these risks to the extent deemed prudent by our management and to the extent insurance is available, but no assurance can be given that the nature and amount of that insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings. Many of these insurance policies contain deductibles or self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent and for which we are responsible for payment. In determining the amount of self-insurance, it is our policy to self-insure those losses that are predictable, measurable and recurring in nature, such as claims for automobile liability, general liability and workers compensation. The accruals for losses are calculated by estimating losses for claims using historical claim data, specific loss development factors and other information as necessary.

BJ Services Acquisition Related Stockholder Lawsuits

As previously reported, the stockholder lawsuits filed in connection with the BJ Services acquisition have been settled. On July 15, 2010, the Delaware Chancery Court certified the Class of BJ Services stockholders, approved the settlement terms, awarded $500,000 in attorneys’ fees and $36,000 in costs to the Class counsel, and entered a Final Judgment dismissing all of the Class claims with prejudice, In re: BJ Services Company Shareholders Litigation, C.A. No. 4851-VCN. On July 23, 2010, the 80^th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, entered a Final Judgment dismissing the plaintiff’s claims with prejudice in the consolidated actions styled as Garden City Employees’ Retirement System, et al. v. BJ Services Company, et al., Cause No. 2009-57320, 80^th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas.

Customer Claim

On November 19, 2009, BJ Services received correspondence from a customer operating in the North Sea, claiming that BJ Services’ decision to move a stimulation vessel out of the North Sea market constituted a breach of contract. The customer alleges that it was forced to purchase well stimulation services from other providers at a higher cost than in the original agreement between

Baker Hughes Incorporated
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (continued)

the customer and BJ Services. The customer further alleges that it has incurred actual and estimated future damages of $40 million plus an undisclosed amount for production loss and/or production deferral. The customer has initiated a request for arbitration and we are responding accordingly. We believe that this claim is without merit, and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter based on the information available to us at this time. We do not expect the outcome of this matter to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated condensed financial statements; however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of this matter.

ENVIRONMENTAL

BJ Services operations included activities which are subject to domestic (including U.S. federal, state and local) and international environmental regulations with regard to air, land and water quality and other environmental matters. BJ Services has conducted environmental investigations and remedial actions at current and former locations of BJ Services and, along with other companies, are currently named as a potentially responsible party at five waste disposal sites owned by third parties. As a result of the acquisition of BJ Services, we have recorded approximately $11 million as a preliminary estimate for environmental remediation. As of September 30, 2010, our total accrual for environmental remediation on a combined company basis is $32 million.

OTHER

In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, we have entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, such as surety bonds for performance, letters of credit and other bank issued guarantees, which totaled approximately $1,067 million at September 30, 2010. None of the off-balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

NOTE 14. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. The components of our comprehensive income (loss), net of related tax, are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our consolidated condensed financial statements and the related notes thereto, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (“2009 Annual Report”).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Baker Hughes is a major supplier of products, technology and services to the worldwide oil and natural gas industry. Our products and services include:

	•		technology and services used in drilling and evaluating oil and gas wells (drill bits, drilling systems, drilling fluids and wireline);

	•		technology and services used to complete and produce oil and gas (completion systems, wellbore intervention, intelligent production systems, upstream chemicals and artificial lift);

	•		pressure pumping services (cementing, hydraulic fracturing and other stimulation, and nitrogen services and coiled tubing); and

	•		industrial and other (downstream chemicals, process and pipeline services, and reservoir and technology consulting business).

The primary driver of our businesses is our customers’ capital and operating expenditures dedicated to oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production. Our business is cyclical and is dependent upon our customers’ expectations for future oil and natural gas prices, economic growth, hydrocarbon demand and estimates of current and future oil and natural gas production.

On April 28, 2010, we completed the acquisition of BJ Services, a leading provider of pressure pumping and other oilfield services, for $6.9 billion in cash and stock. This acquisition provides us with a proven leader in the areas of pressure pumping, stimulation and fracturing and complements our existing product portfolio, allowing us to provide a full suite of products and services to meet the needs of our customers. For its fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, BJ Services’ revenues were $4.1 billion; they employed approximately 14,000 people; and operated in over 50 countries. For the first nine months of 2010, our results are inclusive of BJ Services results from the acquisition date through September 30, 2010.

On August 30, 2010, we completed the sale of two stimulation vessels and certain other assets as required by the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) in connection with the acquisition of BJ Services. As a result of the completion of this sale, the Hold Separate Stipulation and Order requiring BJ Services and Baker Hughes to be operated separately in the U.S. terminated. The sale was not material to our business or the financial performance of the combined company.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was $4.08 billion, an increase of $1.85 billion or 83% over the same quarter a year ago. Total revenue for the first nine months of 2010 was $9.99 billion, an increase of $2.76 billion or 38% over the same period a year ago. These increases are primarily due to the acquisition of BJ Services on April 28, 2010, which provided $1.40 billion of revenue in the third quarter of 2010, and $2.20 billion in the first nine months of 2010; and the strength of the North America segment driven by oil and gas-directed drilling primarily in unconventional reservoirs.

We reported net income of $255 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to net income of $55 million reported for the third quarter of 2009. For the first nine months of 2010, we reported net income of $477 million compared to net income of $337 million reported for the first nine months of 2009. These increases are primarily due to the acquisition of BJ Services, which provided $134 million of net income in the third quarter of 2010 and $164 million of net income for the first nine months of 2010, and improved profitability in our North America segment offset by lower profits internationally.

As of September 30, 2010, Baker Hughes had approximately 52,000 employees as compared with approximately 34,400 employees as of December 31, 2009.

Segment Reporting Change

Effective with the second quarter of 2010, we changed our internal reporting structure to align with our geographical organization which became the primary vehicle for allocating resources and assessing performance. All prior period segment disclosures have been restated to reflect the new segments. As a result, beginning with the second quarter of 2010, we reported our results for the following five segments:

	•		North America (Canada, U.S., and Trinidad)

	•		Latin America (Central and South America including Mexico and excluding Trinidad)

	•		Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian (“EARC”) (Europe, Africa — excluding Egypt, and Russia and the republics of the former Soviet Union)

	•		Middle East/Asia Pacific (“MEAP”) — (including Egypt)

	•		Industrial and Other (downstream chemicals, process and pipeline services, and reservoir and technology consulting businesses)

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Global economic growth and the resultant demand for oil and natural gas are the primary drivers of our customers’ expenditures to develop and produce oil and gas. The expansion of the global economy following the recession of 2008/2009 continued into the third quarter of 2010. Increasing economic activity, particularly in the emerging economies in Asia and the Middle East, and expectations for continued economic growth supported expectations for increasing demand for oil and natural gas. Spending by oil and natural gas exploration and production companies is dependent upon their forecasts regarding the expected future supply and future demand for oil and natural gas products and their estimates of costs to find, develop, and produce reserves. Changes in oil and natural gas exploration and production spending will normally result in increased or decreased demand for our products and services, which will be reflected in the rig count and other measures. At current oil prices, many international projects have attractive economic returns.

In the U.S., both oil-directed and gas-directed drilling increased from the trough levels experienced in mid-2009. Fifty-six percent of the incremental drilling in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2010, compared to the third quarter of 2009, was targeted to develop oil reserves. The increase in oil-directed drilling activity was supported by oil prices in excess of $70/Bbl and the development of several new oil shale plays. Incremental gas-directed drilling was driven by activity in the gas shale plays where lower costs and the availability of cash from prior hedge activity and new equity investments supported higher drilling activity.

Prices for our products and services in the third quarter of 2010 remain significantly below pricing levels a year ago despite the increase in oil and natural gas prices. Price trends are improving for some products in certain geographies, such as North America; however, they remain stable or deteriorating in others (primarily in the Eastern Hemisphere).

Oil and Natural Gas Prices

Oil (West Texas Intermediate (WTI)/Cushing Crude Oil Spot Price) and natural gas (Henry Hub Natural Gas Spot Price) prices are summarized in the table below as averages of the daily closing prices during each of the periods indicated.


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,

Oil prices ($/Bbl)	$	76.09	$	68.14	$	77.58	$	57.21
Natural gas prices ($/mmBtu)		4.28		3.17		4.56		3.80

Oil prices averaged $76.09/Bbl in the third quarter of 2010. Prices ranged from a high of $82.55/Bbl in early August to a low of $71.20/Bbl in late August. Oil prices strengthened from the low in late May 2010 through the end of the third quarter driven by expectations of worldwide economic recovery and energy demand growth, particularly in Asia and the Middle East. The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) estimated in its October 2010 Oil Market Report that worldwide demand would increase 2.5% to 86.9 million barrels per day in 2010, up from an estimated 84.8 million barrels per day in 2009.

Natural gas prices averaged $4.28/mmBtu in the third quarter of 2010. Natural gas prices traded in a range between $4.50/mmBtu and $5.00/mmBtu in the first half of the third quarter of 2010 and between $3.70/mmBtu and $4.10/mmBtu in the second half of the third quarter of 2010. At quarter end, working natural gas in storage was 3,414 Bcf, which is 5% or 175 Bcf below the corresponding week in 2009.

Rig Counts

Baker Hughes has been providing rig counts to the public since 1944. We gather all relevant data through our field service personnel, who obtain the necessary data from routine visits to the various rigs, customers, contractors and/or other outside sources. This data is then compiled and distributed to various wire services and trade associations and is published on our website. Rig counts are compiled weekly for the U.S. and Canada and monthly for all international and U.S. workover rigs. Published international rig

counts do not include rigs drilling in certain locations, such as Russia, the Caspian and onshore China, because this information is not readily available.

Rigs in the U.S. are counted as active if, on the day the count is taken, the well being drilled has been started but drilling has not been completed and the well is anticipated to be of sufficient depth to be a potential consumer of our drill bits. Rigs in Canada are counted as active if data obtained by the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drillers and Contractors indicates that drilling operations have occurred during the week and we are able to verify this information. In most international areas, rigs are counted as active if drilling operations have taken place for at least 15 days during the month. In some active international areas where better data is available, we compute a weekly or daily average of active rigs. In international areas where there is poor availability of data, the rig counts are estimated from third-party data. The rig count does not include rigs that are in transit from one location to another, rigging up, being used in non-drilling activities, including production testing, completion and workover, and is not expected to be significant consumers of drill bits.

Our rig counts are summarized in the table below as averages for each of the periods indicated.

Third Quarter of 2010 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2009

The rig count in North America increased 71% reflecting a 42% increase in the U.S. gas-directed rig count and a 133% increase in the oil-directed rig count, and similar patterns in Canada. Changes in regulation of drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico as a result of the Deepwater Horizon accident and resultant oil spill negatively impacted activity in the quarter where the U.S. offshore rig count averaged only 18 rigs as compared to 34 rigs in the third quarter of 2009. Outside North America the rig count increased 15%. The rig count in Latin America increased primarily due to higher activity in the Southern Cone geomarket (Argentina, Bolivia and Chile) and the Andean geomarket (Colombia, Peru and Ecuador) and was partially offset by lower activity in the Mexico geomarket. The increase in the Continental Europe geomarket was led by Turkey, Italy and Romania. The rig count in Africa increased primarily due to higher activity in the Nigeria and Angola geomarkets. The rig count increased in the Middle East due to higher activity in Egypt, Kuwait, Syria and Yemen, offset partially by declines in activity in Pakistan. In the Asia Pacific region, activity increased primarily in India and Vietnam, offset partially by lower activity in Indonesia.

The performance of our segments is evaluated based on segment profit before tax, which is defined as income before income taxes, interest expense, interest income, and certain gains and losses not allocated to the segments.

Third Quarter of 2010 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2009

Revenues for the third quarter of 2010 were up 83% compared with the third quarter of 2009. Excluding BJ Services, revenues for the third quarter 2010 were up 20%. The primary drivers of the increase included increased activity and improved pricing in the U.S. Land and Canada markets and to a lesser extent, increased activity in our international segments.

Profit before tax for the third quarter of 2010 increased 152% compared with the third quarter of 2009. Excluding BJ Services, profit before tax was up 30%. The primary drivers of the increase included improved profits in the North America segment where increased activity has led to increased utilization, improved absorption of manufacturing and other overhead, and realized pricing improvement, partially offset by price degradation and lower profits in our international segments.

North America

North America revenue increased 181% in the third quarter of 2010 compared with the third quarter of 2009. Excluding BJ Services, revenues for the third quarter of 2010 were up 42%. Revenue and pricing increases were supported by a 71% increase in the U.S. land and inland waters rig count and a 94% increase in the Canada rig count. The unconventional reservoirs are demanding our best technology to deliver longer horizontals, complex completions, increasing hydraulic fracturing (“frac”) horsepower and more frac stages resulting in improved pricing and higher revenue. This improvement was partially offset by a decline in our U.S. Gulf of Mexico revenue from the drilling moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico, estimated to be between $75 million and $80 million.

North America profit before tax was $340 million in the third quarter of 2010, an increase of $312 million compared with the third quarter of 2009. Excluding BJ Services, profit before tax for the third quarter of 2010 was up $93 million. The primary drivers included improved tool utilization, improved absorption of manufacturing and other overhead, and higher pricing. This improvement was partially offset by a decline in our profitability in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico due to the drilling moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico, estimated to be between $45 million and $50 million.

Outside North America

Latin America

Latin America revenue increased 68% in the third quarter of 2010 compared with the third quarter of 2009. Excluding BJ Services, revenue for the third quarter 2010 was up 21%. The primary drivers included increased activity and commensurate revenue increases in the Andean, and Brazil geomarkets, offset partially by activity and revenue declines in the Venezuela/Mexico geomarket driven primarily by customer budgetary constraints in Mexico.

Latin America profit before tax decreased 44% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 as increases in profit before tax from the Andean and Brazil geomarkets were more than offset by decreased profit before tax from the Venezuela/Mexico geomarket resulting from lower activity in Mexico.

Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian

Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian revenue increased 21% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. Excluding BJ Services, revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was up 6%. The increase in this region was led by strong demand for directional drilling and artificial lift products and services. Increased activity and commensurate revenue increases occurred in the Russia Caspian, UK, and Nigeria geomarkets, offset partially by reduced revenue from the North Africa, Sub Saharan Africa and Continental Europe geomarkets.

Europe/Africa/Russia Caspian profit before tax decreased 41% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 as improved profit before tax in the UK and Russia Caspian geomarkets were more than offset by decreased profit before tax in the Sub Saharan Africa, North Africa, and Norway geomarkets due to higher overhead costs and lower realized pricing.

Middle East/Asia Pacific

Middle East/Asia Pacific revenue increased 31% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. Excluding BJ Services, revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was up 6%. The increase in this region was driven by higher activity that benefitted our chemicals, artificial lift and completion systems products and services. Increased activity and commensurate revenue increases occurred primarily in the Egypt, Southeast Asia, North Asia and Australasia geomarkets. These increases were offset partially by decreased revenue primarily in the Indonesia geomarket.

Middle East/Asia Pacific profit before tax decreased 22% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 as improved profit before tax in the Egypt and North Asia geomarkets was more than offset by lower realized pricing and higher overhead costs throughout the rest of the region.

Industrial and Other

Industrial and Other revenue increased 62% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. Excluding BJ Services, revenue for the third quarter of 2010 increased 16%. Industrial and Other profit before tax increased $22 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. Excluding BJ Services, profit before tax increased $12 million.

First Nine Months of 2010 Compared to the First Nine Months of 2009

Revenues for the first nine months of 2010 increased 38% compared with the first nine months of 2009, primarily due to the acquisition of BJ Services and expansion of the North America market. Excluding BJ Services, revenue for the first nine months of 2010 increased 8%.

Profit before tax for the first nine months of 2010 increased 35% compared with the first nine months of 2009, as increased profit from the acquisition of BJ Services and increased profit before tax from the North America segment was offset by price degradation in the international segments. Excluding BJ Services, profit before tax for the first nine months of 2010 was unchanged.

Costs and Expenses

The table below details certain consolidated condensed statement of operations data and their percentage of revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.


	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2010				2009

Revenues	$	4,078	100	%	$	2,232	100	%
Cost of revenues		3,189	78	%		1,761	79	%
Research and engineering		118	3	%		88	4	%
Marketing, general and administrative		354	9	%		272	12	%


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2010				2009

Revenues	$	9,991	100	%	$	7,236	100	%
Cost of revenues		7,763	78	%		5,518	76	%
Research and engineering		324	3	%		299	4	%
Marketing, general and administrative		971	10	%		837	12	%

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased 81% compared with the three months ended September 30, 2009. Cost of revenues as a percentage of consolidated revenues was 78% and 79% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased 41% compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Cost of revenues as a percentage of consolidated revenues was 78% and 76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, is primarily due to pricing pressures and higher operating costs for our geomarket organization which we plan to mitigate through productivity improvements and cost cutting measures. The additional depreciation and amortization expense for the five months since the acquisition date of approximately $58 million for tangible and intangible assets associated with the BJ Services acquisition also contributed to the increase.

Research and Engineering

Research and engineering expenses increased 34% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2009 and increased 8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We continue to be committed to developing and commercializing new technologies as well as investing in our core product offerings.

Marketing, General and Administrative

Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased 30% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2009 and increased 16% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with the nine

months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in both periods resulted primarily from costs associated with finance organization redesign efforts, software implementation activities and the acquisition of BJ Services.

Acquisition-Related Costs

Acquisition-related costs are being expensed as incurred. They include expenses directly related to acquiring BJ Services and integration expenses incurred in combining the companies. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred $12 million and $78 million, respectively, of total acquisition-related costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $11 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to the issuance of $1.5 billion of debt in August 2010 and the assumption of $500 million of debt associated with the acquisition of BJ Services. Interest expense decreased $3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as the interest expense related to the new debt was more than offset by gains on interest rate swaps.

Income Taxes

Total income tax expense in the third quarter of 2010 is $111 million, which includes a $12 million tax benefit on costs associated with the BJ Services acquisition. Excluding the impact of the acquisition-related costs, our effective tax rate on operating profits in the third quarter of 2010 is 32.5%, which is lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 35% due to tax benefits arising from the repatriation of foreign earnings partially offset by higher rates of tax on certain international operations and state income taxes.

Our effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2009 was 34%, which is lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 35% due to lower rates of tax on certain international operations offset by state income taxes.

Our tax filings for various periods are subject to audit by the tax authorities in most jurisdictions where we conduct business. These audits may result in assessment of additional taxes that are resolved with the authorities or through the courts. We believe these assessments may occasionally be based on erroneous and even arbitrary interpretations of local tax law. We have received tax assessments from various taxing authorities and are currently at varying stages of appeals and/or litigation regarding these matters. We believe we have substantial defenses to the questions being raised and will pursue all legal remedies should an unfavorable outcome result. However, resolution of these matters involves uncertainties and there are no assurances that the outcomes will be favorable.

OUTLOOK

This section should be read in conjunction with the factors described in “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” and in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section in this Part I, Item 2, both contained herein. These factors could impact, either positively or negatively, our expectation for: oil and natural gas demand; oil and natural gas prices; exploration and development spending and drilling activity; and production spending.

Our industry is cyclical, and past cycles have been driven primarily by alternating periods of ample supply or shortage of oil and natural gas relative to demand. As an oilfield services company, our revenue is dependent on spending by our customers for oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production. This spending is dependent on a number of factors, including our customers’ forecasts of future energy demand, their expectations for future energy prices, their access to resources to develop and produce oil and gas, the impact of new government regulations and their ability to fund their capital programs.

The depth and pace of economic recovery from the global economic recession, the impact of the moratorium and new regulations following the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico, and drilling in the U.S. oil-and-gas shale plays are the primary drivers impacting the 2010 business environment.

As the worldwide economy recovers, demand for hydrocarbons will increase. In July 2010, the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) observed strong growth in many developing and emerging economies while noting that the modest growth in advanced economies was threatened by a drop in confidence about fiscal sustainability, policy responses and future growth prospects.

The largest incremental demands for oil are expected to be generated by the developing and emerging economies in China, India and the Middle East. Increasing oil demand is expected to support oil prices between $60/Bbl and $85/Bbl.

In North America, the near-month futures prices for natural gas, as quoted in early October 2010, were below $4/mmBtu, and the 12-month futures price was trading slightly below $4.50/mmBtu. Higher natural gas futures prices in 2008 and early 2009 provided an opportunity for many of our customers to hedge natural gas production. Cash flow of these customers benefited from the attractive prices received on hedged production allowing them to maintain exploration and development activity. However, the decline in natural gas prices in 2010 and the roll-off of attractive hedge positions is placing increased emphasis on well economics, cash flow and capital budgets for many of our customers. In the near-term, the impact of lower cash flows from sales and hedging activity is being offset by investments by international oil companies seeking exposure to the U.S. shale plays. Capital discipline on the part of our competitors, attrition of existing rental fleets and rising demand are expected to result in an environment that we believe will support continued price increases for our products and services in some markets by late 2010. In addition, project economies will be favorably impacted if the production is expected to include a significant amount of natural gas liquids or condensates, which can be sold at a higher price per mcf.

The impact of changes in the regulation of offshore drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico is negatively impacting U.S. offshore drilling activity. The impact appears to be isolated to the Gulf of Mexico at this time. Where possible, equipment and people are being assigned to opportunities away from the Gulf Coast. The negative impact is expected to be partially offset by incremental spending in other regions as oil and gas companies adjust their spending plans.

Our outlook for exploration and development spending is based upon our expectations for customer spending in the markets in which we operate, and is driven primarily by our perception of industry expectations for oil and natural gas prices and their likely impact on customer capital and operating budgets as well as other factors that could impact the economic return oil and gas companies expect for developing oil and gas reserves. Our forecasts are based on our analysis of information provided by our customers as well as market research and analyst reports including theShort Term Energy Outlook(“STEO”) published by the Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”), theOil Market Reportpublished by the IEA and theMonthly Oil Market Reportpublished by OPEC. Our outlook for economic growth is based on our analysis of information published by a number of sources including the IMF, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) and the World Bank.

In North America, the outlook for spending for the remainder of 2010 will be significantly influenced by the outlook for the natural gas industry. However, oil-directed rig activity has increased to levels not seen since early 1991, and is expected to continue to increase with oil prices greater than $70/Bbl, as many operators seek to diversify activity away from natural gas. The increase in gas-directed rig count from mid-2009 low levels and continued advances in horizontal drilling and advanced fracturing and completion technologies has led to increasing rates of initial production in the unconventional gas fields, resulting in high levels of gas production relative to demand.

Expectations for Oil Prices— Due to improved expectations for the global economy, the Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) expects global demand for oil to increase 2.1 million barrels per day in 2010 relative to 2009. Non-Organization for Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) supply growth is expected to increase by 900 thousand barrels per day in 2010. In its October 14, 2010 meeting in Vienna, OPEC left its production policy unchanged. The EIA projects that OPEC production will increase by 300 thousand barrels per day in 2010. OPEC spare productive capacity is expected to be essentially unchanged through 2011. In its October 2010 STEO report, the DOE forecasted oil prices (West Texas Intermediate) to average $79/Bbl for the fourth quarter of 2010 and $83/Bbl in 2011.

Expectations for North America Natural Gas Prices —Increasing production and near record high storage levels are placing downward pressure on natural gas prices despite hot weather and increase in demand. Peak storage levels are expected to approximate the historically high record levels reached in the fall of 2009. In its October 2010 STEO report, the DOE forecasted that U.S. natural gas prices would average $4.16/mmBtu in the fourth quarter of 2010. The DOE forecasts gas prices to increase to an average of $4.58/mmBtu in 2011.

Our capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, are expected to be approximately $1.7 billion to $1.8 billion for 2010, including approximately $350 million to $400 million that we expect to spend on infrastructure, primarily outside North America. A significant portion of our planned capital expenditures can be adjusted to reflect changes in our expectations for future customer spending. We expect to manage our capital expenditures to match market demand.

Compliance

In connection with our previously reported settlements with the DOJ and SEC, we retained an independent monitor (the “Monitor”) to assess and make recommendations about our compliance policies and procedures. The Monitor was retained for a term of three years. That term ended on July 1, 2010. In response to the Monitor’s recommendations, we have continued our reduction of the use of commercial sales representatives (“CSRs”) and processing agents, including the reduction of customs agents. We have also continued to enhance our channels of communication regarding agents while streamlining our compliance due diligence process for agents, including more clearly delineating the responsibilities of participants in the compliance due diligence process. We have adopted a risk-based compliance due diligence procedure for professional agents, enhancing our process for classifying distributors and creating a formal policy to guide business personnel in determining when subcontractors should be subjected to compliance due diligence. We have also instituted a program to ensure that each of our internal sponsors regularly reviews their CSRs, including a review with senior management.

In addition, we have reviewed and expanded the use of our centralized finance organization, including further implementation of our enterprise-wide accounting system and company-wide policies regarding expense reporting, petty cash, the approval of invoice payments and general ledger account coding. We also have consolidated our divisional audit functions and redeployed some of these resources for corporate audits. Further, we have restructured our corporate audit function, and are incorporating additional anti-corruption procedures into some of our audits, which are applied on a country-wide basis. We are also continuing to refine and enhance our procedures for Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) compliance reviews, risk assessments, and legal audit procedures.

Further, we continue to work to ensure that we have adequate legal compliance coverage around the world, including the coordination of compliance advice and training across the product lines in each of our regions. We have also worked to create simplified summaries, flow charts, and FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) to accompany each of our compliance-related policies, and we are supplementing our existing policies. At the same time, we are taking steps to achieve further centralization of our customs and logistics function including the development of uniform and simplified customs policies and procedures. We are also developing uniform procedures for the verification and documentation of services provided by customs agents and a training program in which customs and logistics personnel receive specialized training focused specifically on risks associated with the customs process. We are also adopting a written plan for reviewing and reducing the number of our customs agents and freight forwarders.

We are continuing to centralize our human resources function, including creating consistent standards for pre-hire screening of employees, the screening of existing employees prior to promoting them to positions where they may be exposed to corruption-related risks, and creating a uniform policy for on-boarding training. We are implementing a training program that identifies employees for compliance training and sets appropriate training schedules based on job function and risk profile in addition to employment grade. Further, the contents of our training programs are being tailored to address the different risks posed by different categories of employees. We are supplementing our FCPA electronic training module while taking steps to ensure that training is available in the principal local languages of our employees and that local anti-corruption laws are discussed as part of our compliance training. We have also worked to ensure that our helpline is easily accessible to employees in their own language as well as taken actions to counter any cultural norms that might discourage employees from using the helpline. We continue to provide a regular and consistent message from senior management that compliance with the FCPA is obligatory, and emphasize that compliance is a positive factor in the continued success of our business.

We have analyzed the BJ Services’ compliance programs and since the closing of the acquisition have begun to integrate our compliance programs within the operations of BJ Services as appropriate.

In June 2010, the Monitor issued his final reports certifying that “the anti-bribery compliance program of Baker Hughes, including its policies and procedures, is appropriately designed and implemented to ensure compliance with the FCPA, U.S. commercial bribery laws and foreign bribery laws.”

For a further description of our compliance programs see, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Compliance” and Note 15 “Commitment and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2009 Annual Report.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our objective in financing our business is to maintain adequate financial resources and access to sufficient liquidity. At September 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.6 billion, short-term investments of $250 million and we had $1.7 billion available for borrowing under committed revolving credit facilities with commercial banks.

Our capital planning process is focused on utilizing cash flows generated from operations in ways that enhance the value of our company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we used cash to pay for a variety of activities including working capital needs, acquisitions, dividends and capital expenditures.

Cash Flows

Cash flows provided (used) from operations by type of activity were as follows for the nine months ended September 30:


	2010			2009

Operating activities	$	578		$	887
Investing activities		(1,916	)		(708	)
Financing activities		1,344			(671	)

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities provided $578 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with $887 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease in cash flows of $309 million is primarily due to a change in net operating assets and liabilities that used more cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

The underlying drivers of the changes in net operating assets and liabilities are as follows:

	•		An increase in accounts receivable in the first nine months of 2010 used $504 million in cash compared with providing $530 million in cash in the first nine months of 2009. The change in accounts receivable was primarily due to an increase in activity and an increase in the days of sales outstanding (defined as the average number of days our net trade receivables are outstanding based on quarterly revenues excluding the impact of the BJ Services acquisition) by approximately two days.

	•		Inventory used $161 million in cash in the first nine months of 2010 compared with providing $104 million in cash in the first nine months of 2009 driven by activity increases.

	•		An increase in accounts payable in the first nine months of 2010 provided $177 million in cash compared with using $245 million in cash in the first nine months of 2009. The increase was primarily due to an increase in operating assets to support increased activity.

	•		Accrued employee compensation and other accrued liabilities provided $97 million in cash in the first nine months of 2010 compared with using $96 million in cash in the first nine months of 2009. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in annual payments of employee bonuses and other benefits in the first nine months of 2010 compared to the prior year.

	•		Income taxes payable used $68 million in cash in the first nine months of 2010 compared with using $211 million in cash in the first nine months of 2009. The decrease in cash used was primarily due to federal income tax payments made in 2009 of $155 million for two quarterly installment payments from 2008. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service allowed companies impacted by Hurricane Ike to defer the third and fourth quarter installment payments for 2008 until January 2009.

Investing Activities

Our principal recurring investing activity is the funding of capital expenditures to ensure that we have the appropriate levels and types of rental tools and machinery and equipment in place to generate revenues from operations. Expenditures for capital assets totaled $1,005 million and $794 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. While the majority of these expenditures were for rental tools and machinery and equipment, we have also increased our spending on new facilities, expansions of existing facilities and other infrastructure projects.

Proceeds from the disposal of assets were $152 million and $134 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These disposals relate to rental tools that were lost-in-hole, as well as machinery, rental tools and equipment and facilities no longer used in operations that were sold throughout the period.

On August 30, 2010, we completed the sale of two stimulation vessels and certain other assets used to perform sand control services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. We received cash of $55 million and incurred disposition costs of $16 million. The divestiture was required by the DOJ in connection with the acquisition of BJ Services. The sale was not material to our business or our financial performance.

We routinely evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses of third parties that may enhance our current operations or expand our operations into new markets or product lines. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we paid cash of $680 million, net of cash

acquired of $113 million, related to the BJ Services acquisition, and we paid $172 million, net of cash acquired of $5 million, for several other acquisitions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we purchased $250 million of short-term investments consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills, which will mature in May of 2011.

Financing Activities

We had net borrowings of commercial paper and/or other short-term debt of $9 million and net payments of $8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. On August 24, 2010, we sold $1.5 billion of 5.125% Senior Notes that will mature September 15, 2040 (the “Notes”). Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $1.48 billion after deducting the underwriting discounts and expenses of the offering. We used $511 million of the net proceeds to repay our outstanding commercial paper. We will use $250 million of the net proceeds to repay the BJ Services 5.75% notes maturing June 2011. The remaining net proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, which could include funding on-going operations, business acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock. In addition, we repaid $525 million of maturing long-term debt in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Total debt outstanding at September 30, 2010 was $3.85 billion, an increase of $2.05 billion compared with December 31, 2009. This increase is primarily due to the sale of our $1.5 billion Notes and the assumption of $500 million principal amount of long-term debt from the BJ Services acquisition. The total debt to total capitalization (defined as total debt plus stockholders’ equity) ratio was 0.22 at September 30, 2010 and 0.20 at December 31, 2009.

We received proceeds of $29 million and $1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, from the issuance of common stock from the exercise of stock options.

Our Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase our common stock from time to time. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock. At September 30, 2010, we had authorization remaining to repurchase up to a total of $1.2 billion of our common stock.

We paid dividends of $175 million and $139 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Available Credit Facilities

On March 19, 2010, we entered into a credit agreement (the “2010 Credit Agreement”). The 2010 Credit Agreement is a three-year committed $1.2 billion revolving credit facility that expires on March 19, 2013. At September 30, 2010, we had $1.7 billion of committed revolving credit facilities with commercial banks, consisting of the 2010 Credit Agreement ($1.2 billion) and a $500 million facility expiring on July 7, 2012. Both facilities contain certain covenants which, among other things, require the maintenance of a funded indebtedness to total capitalization ratio (a defined formula per the facility), restrict certain merger transactions or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or a significant subsidiary and limit the amount of subsidiary indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, our obligations under the facilities may be accelerated. Such events of default include payment defaults to lenders under the facilities, covenant defaults and other customary defaults.

At September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the facility covenants of both committed credit facilities. There were no direct borrowings under the committed credit facilities during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. We also have a commercial paper program under which we may issue up to $1.0 billion in commercial paper with maturity of no more than 270 days. To the extent we have commercial paper outstanding, our ability to borrow under the facilities is reduced. At quarter end, we had no commercial paper outstanding.

If market conditions were to change and revenues were to be significantly reduced or operating costs were to increase, our cash flows and liquidity could be reduced. Additionally, it could cause the rating agencies to lower our credit rating. There are no ratings triggers that would accelerate the maturity of any borrowings under the committed credit facilities. However, a downgrade in our credit ratings could increase the cost of borrowings under the facilities and could also limit or preclude our ability to issue commercial paper. Should this occur, we would seek alternative sources of funding, including borrowing under the facilities.

We believe our credit ratings and relationships with major commercial and investment banks would allow us to obtain interim financing over and above our existing credit facilities for any currently unforeseen significant needs or growth opportunities. We also believe that such interim financings could be funded with subsequent issuances of long-term debt or equity, if necessary.

Cash Requirements

In 2010, we believe cash on hand and operating cash flows will provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to manage our working capital needs, meet contractual obligations, fund capital expenditures, and support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies. We may issue commercial paper or other short-term debt to fund cash needs in the U.S. in excess of the cash generated in the U.S.

In 2010, we expect capital expenditures to be between $1.7 billion to $1.8 billion, excluding acquisitions. The expenditures are expected to be used primarily for normal, recurring items necessary to support the growth of our business and operations. A significant portion of our capital expenditures can be adjusted based on future activity of our customers. We expect to manage our capital expenditures to match market demand.

In 2010, we also expect to make interest payments of between $160 million and $165 million based on our current expectations of debt levels during 2010. We anticipate making income tax payments of between $600 million and $650 million in 2010.

As of September 30, 2010, we have authorization remaining to repurchase approximately $1.2 billion in common stock. We may repurchase our common stock depending on market conditions, applicable legal requirements, our liquidity and other considerations. We anticipate paying dividends of between $240 million and $245 million in 2010; however, the Board of Directors can change the dividend policy at any time.

In 2010, we expect to contribute between $90 million and $110 million to our defined benefit pension plans. We also expect to make benefit payments related to postretirement welfare plans of between $15 million and $18 million, and we estimate we will contribute between $171 million and $180 million to our defined contribution plans.

We intend to use internal cash resources and available financing to pay for the pre-existing change of control and other contractual payments to certain BJ Services employees triggered by the acquisition that as of September 30, 2010 were $190 million, which we expect to be paid out in the fourth quarter of 2010.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

MD&A and certain statements in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (each a “forward-looking statement”). The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “ensure,” “expect,” “if,” “intend,” “estimate,” “probable,” “project,” “forecasts,” “predict,” “outlook,” “aim,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “likely” and similar expressions, and the negative thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable but that may not prove to be accurate. The statements do not include the potential impact of future transactions, such as an acquisition, disposition, merger, joint venture or other transaction that could occur. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement. Our expectations regarding our business outlook and business plans; the business plans of our customers; oil and natural gas market conditions; costs and availability of resources; economic, legal and regulatory conditions and other matters are only our forecasts regarding these matters.

All of our forward-looking information is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expected. The following additional factors, among others, with respect to the acquisition of BJ Services, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: preliminary estimates of acquisition accounting may change; the risk that the cost savings and any other synergies from the acquisition may not be realized or take longer to realize than expected; and the ability to successfully integrate the businesses. Although it is not possible to identify all factors, these risks and uncertainties include the risk factors and the timing of any of those risk factors identified in “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” section contained herein, as well as the risk factors described in our 2009 Annual Report, this filing and those set forth from time to time in our filings

with the SEC. These documents are available through our web site or through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval System (“EDGAR”) athttp://www.sec.gov.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We conduct operations around the world in a number of different currencies. The majority of our significant foreign subsidiaries have designated the local currency as their functional currency. As such, future earnings are subject to change due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies. To minimize the need for foreign currency forward contracts to hedge this exposure, our objective is to manage foreign currency exposure by maintaining a minimal consolidated net asset or net liability position in a currency other than the functional currency.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

At September 30, 2010, we had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts aggregating $187 million to hedge exposure to currency fluctuations in various foreign currencies. These contracts are designated and qualify as fair value hedging instruments. The fair value of these contracts outstanding at September 30, 2010, was approximately $7 million and was included in other assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheet. The fair value was determined using a model including quoted market prices for contracts with similar terms and maturity dates. The effect of foreign currency forward contracts on the consolidated condensed statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $11 million and $1 million, respectively, of foreign exchange gains, which are included in marketing, general and administrative expenses. These gains offset designated foreign exchange losses resulting from the underlying exposures of the hedged items.

Interest Rate Swaps

In June 2009, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“the Swap Agreements”) for a notional amount of $250 million each in order to hedge changes in the fair market value of our $500 million 6.5% senior notes maturing on November 15, 2013. Under the Swap Agreements, we receive interest at a fixed rate of 6.5% and pay interest at a floating rate of one-month Libor plus a spread of 3.67% on one swap and three-month Libor plus a spread of 3.54% on the second swap through November 15, 2013. The Swap Agreements are designated and each qualifies as a fair value hedging instrument and are both determined to be highly effective. The fair value of the Swap Agreements at September 30, 2010, was $30 million and was included in other assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheet. The fair value was based on quoted market prices for contracts with similar terms and maturity dates. The effect of interest rate swaps on the consolidated condensed statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was a reduction to interest expense of $2 million and $12 million, respectively.

The financial institutions that are counterparties to the Swap Agreements are primarily the lenders in our credit facilities. Under the terms of the credit support documents governing the Swap Agreements, the relevant party will have to post collateral in the event such party’s long-term debt rating falls below investment grade or is no longer rated.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, are effective at a reasonable assurance level. There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

On April 28, 2010, the Company acquired BJ Services. For purposes of determining the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and any change in our internal control over financial reporting, management has excluded BJ Services from its evaluation of these matters. The acquired business represented approximately 45% of our consolidated total assets at September 30, 2010 and approximately 53% of our consolidated net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,

without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the conduct of our business. See a further discussion of litigation matters in Note 13 of Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

For additional information see also, “Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Outlook” of this Form 10-Q and Item 3 of Part I of our 2009 Annual Report for additional discussion of legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As of the date of this filing, the Company and its operations continue to be subject to the risk factors previously disclosed in our “Risk Factors” in the 2009 Annual Report, the Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2010 and the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2010 as well as the following risk factors:

Many of our customers’ activity levels and spending for our products and services and ability to pay amounts owed us may be impacted by deterioration in the credit markets.

Access to capital is dependent on our customers’ ability to access the funds necessary to develop economically attractive projects based upon their expectations of future energy prices, required investments and resulting returns. Limited access to external sources of funding has caused many customers to reduce their capital spending plans to levels supported by internally-generated cash flow. In addition, the combination of a reduction of cash flow resulting from declines in commodity prices, a reduction in borrowing bases under reserve-based credit facilities and the lack of availability of debt or equity financing may impact the ability of our customers to pay amounts owed to us. Starting in late 2008 and continuing through the third quarter of 2010, we are experiencing a delay in receiving payments from our customers in Venezuela. As of September 30, 2010, our accounts receivable in Venezuela totaled approximately 4% of our total accounts receivable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Venezuela revenues were approximately 1% of our total consolidated revenues.

The moratorium on drilling offshore in the United States, as well as changes in and compliance with restrictions or regulations on offshore drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and in other areas around the world, has and may continue to adversely affect our business and operating results and reduce the need for our services in those areas.

While the moratorium on drilling offshore in the United States was lifted on October 12, 2010, there is a delay in resuming operations related to drilling offshore in the United States and there is no assurance that operations related to drilling offshore in the United States will reach the same levels that existed prior to the moratorium. Any delay in resuming these activities or the failure of these activities to reach levels that existed prior to the moratorium has and could continue to adversely impact our operating results. The April 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico and its aftermath has resulted in new and proposed legislation and regulation in the United States of the offshore oil and gas industry, which may result in substantial increases in costs or delays in drilling or other operations in the Gulf of Mexico, oil and gas projects becoming potentially non-economic, and a corresponding reduced demand for our services. We cannot predict with any certainty the impact of the moratorium or the substance or effect of any new or additional regulations. If the United States or other countries where we operate enact stricter restrictions on offshore drilling or further regulate offshore drilling or contracting services operations, higher operating costs could result, which could, in turn, adversely affect our business and operating results.

Uninsured claims and litigation.

While we were not involved in the Deepwater Horizon accident, such events highlight the risk involved in the oil and gas industry. We could be impacted by the outcome of pending litigation as well as unexpected litigation or proceedings. We have insurance coverage against operating hazards, including product liability claims and personal injury claims related to our products, to the extent deemed prudent by our management and to the extent insurance is available; however, no assurance can be given that the nature and amount of that insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending and future claims and

litigation. This insurance has deductibles or self-insured retentions and contains certain coverage exclusions. The insurance does not cover damages from breach of contract by us or based on alleged fraud or deceptive trade practices. In addition, the following risks apply with respect to our insurance coverage:

	•		we may not be able to continue to obtain insurance on commercially reasonable terms;

	•		we may be faced with types of liabilities that will not be covered by our insurance;

	•		our insurance carriers may not be able to meet their obligations under the policies; or

	•		the dollar amount of any liabilities may exceed our policy limits.

Whenever possible, we obtain agreements from customers that limit our liability. Insurance and customer agreements do not provide complete protection against losses and risks, and our results of operations could be adversely affected by unexpected claims not covered by insurance.
