HALLIBURTON COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Management Representation
The Company employs accounting policies that are in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires Company management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Ultimate results could differ from those estimates.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
present information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable
rules of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1995
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of the Company, the financial statements include all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of
September 30, 1996; the results of its operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995; and its cash flows for the nine months then
ended. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995 may not be indicative of results for the full year. In
connection with the discontinuance of the Company's insurance segment, the
Company has adopted a classified balance sheet format. Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Note 2. Inventories
September 30 December 31
1996 1995
------------ -------------
Millions of dollars
Sales items $ 96.1 $ 85.2
Supplies and parts 154.5 121.7
Work in process 42.2 27.1
Raw materials 19.5 17.5
----------- -------------
Total $ 312.3 $ 251.5
=========== =============
About 40% of all sales items (including related work in process and raw
materials) are valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. If the average
cost method had been in use for inventories on the LIFO basis, total inventories
would have been about $18.3 million higher than reported at September 30, 1996.
Note 3. General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $43.7 million and $33.8 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. General
and administrative expenses were $118.2 million and $112.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Note 4. Income Per Share
Income per share amounts are based upon the average number of common and
common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents included in the
computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options
which have a dilutive effect.
5
Note 5. Related Companies
The Company conducts some of its operations through various joint venture
and other partnership forms which are accounted for using the equity method.
Included in the Company's revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 are equity in income of related companies of $25.5 million and $23.3
million, respectively. The amounts included in revenues for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are $66.1 million and $63.7 million,
respectively. European Marine Contractors, Limited (EMC), which is 50% owned by
the Company and part of Brown & Root Energy Services, specializes in
engineering, procurement and construction of marine pipelines. Summarized
operating results for 100% of the operations of EMC are as follows:

In the second quarter of 1996, M-I Drilling Fluids, L.L.C., one of the
Company's joint ventures which is 36% owned and a part of Energy Services,
purchased Anchor Drilling Fluids. The Company's share of the purchase price was
$41.3 million and is included in cash flows from other investing activities.
Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved as a potentially responsible party (PRP) in
remedial activities to clean up various "Superfund" sites under applicable
Federal law which imposes joint and several liability, if the harm is
indivisible, on certain persons without regard to fault, the legality of the
original disposal, or ownership of the site. Although it is very difficult to
quantify the potential impact of compliance with environmental protection laws,
management of the Company believes that any liability of the Company with
respect to all but one of such sites will not have a material adverse effect on
the results of operations of the Company. With respect to a site in Jasper
County, Missouri (Jasper County Superfund Site), sufficient information has not
been developed to permit management to make such a determination and management
believes the process of determining the nature and extent of remediation at this
site and the total costs thereof will be lengthy. Brown & Root, Inc. (Brown &
Root), a subsidiary of the Company, has been named as a PRP with respect to the
Jasper County Superfund Site by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
Jasper County Superfund Site includes areas of mining activity that occurred
from the 1800's through the mid 1950's in the southwestern portion of Missouri.
The site contains lead and zinc mine tailings produced from mining activity.
Brown & Root is one of nine participating PRPs which have agreed to perform a
Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS), which, due to various delays,
is not expected to be completed until the fourth quarter of 1997. Although the
entire Jasper County Superfund Site comprises 237 square miles as listed on the
National Priorities List, in the RI/FS scope of work, the EPA has only
identified seven areas, or subsites, within this area that need to be studied
and then possibly remediated by the PRPs. Additionally, the Administrative Order
on Consent for the RI/FS only requires Brown & Root to perform RI/FS work at one
of the subsites within the site, the Neck/Alba subsite, which only comprises
3.95 square miles. Brown & Root's share of the cost of such a study is not
expected to be material. At the present time Brown & Root cannot determine the
extent of its liability, if any, for remediation costs on any reasonably
practicable basis.
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various other legal
proceedings. Although the ultimate dispositions of such proceedings are not
presently determinable, in the opinion of the Company any liability that may
ensue will not be material in relation to the consolidated financial position
and results of operations of the Company.

Note 7. Acquisitions
On October 4, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of Landmark
Graphics Corporation (Landmark) through the merger of Landmark with a subsidiary
of the Company, the conversion of the outstanding Landmark common stock into an
aggregate of approximately 10.2 million shares of common stock of the Company
and the assumption by the Company of outstanding Landmark stock options ( for
the exercise of which the Company has reserved an aggregate of approximately 1.5
million shares of common stock of the Company).
Landmark, together with its subsidiaries, designs, markets and supports
sophisticated computer-aided exploration and computer-aided reservoir management
software and systems. Geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists and engineers
in more than 70 countries use Landmark products in exploration for and
production of oil and gas.
Landmark offers an extensive line of integrated software applications for
seismic processing, three dimensional and two dimensional seismic
interpretation, geologic and petrophysical interpretation, mapping and modeling,
well log and production analysis, drilling and production engineering and data
management. Through its service consulting business, Landmark provides software
training, on-site support and assistance in designing computer networks and
integrating applications and data. In addition to providing software products,
Landmark is a value-added reseller of workstations and other hardware and
provides a range of services, including software and systems support and
training, systems configuration and network design and data loading and
management.
The acquisition has been accounted for using the "pooling of interests"
method of accounting for business combinations. For the fiscal year ended June
30, 1996, Landmark had consolidated revenues of $187.3 million, operating income
of $4 million and net income from continuing operations of $5.3 million. At June
30, 1996, Landmark had consolidated total assets of $231.1 million and
stockholders' equity of $165.4 million.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not give
retroactive effect to this transaction as it was not completed until after the
end of the current reporting period. The following supplemental unaudited pro
forma combined financial information is based on the unaudited consolidated
financial statements of the Company and Landmark to give effect to the merger
using the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations.
The following information may not necessarily reflect the results of operations
or the financial position of the Company that would have actually resulted had
the merger occurred as of the date and for the periods indicated or reflect the
future earnings of the Company.

for costs incurred for merging with the Company. Operating income for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 include special charges recorded by Landmark of
$20.5 million ($16.3 million after tax) for the write-off of in-process research
and development activities acquired in connection with the purchase by Landmark
of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Western Atlas
International, Inc. and of Verticomp and the write-off of redundant assets and
activities recorded in the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, as well as
the costs for merging with the Company noted above.
Note 8. Discontinued Operations
On January 23, 1996, the Company spun-off its property and casualty
insurance subsidiary, Highlands Insurance Group, Inc. (HIGI), in a tax-free
distribution to holders of Halliburton Company common stock. Each common
shareholder of the Company received one share of common stock of HIGI for every
ten shares of Halliburton Company common stock. Approximately 11.4 million
common shares of HIGI were issued in conjunction with the spin-off.

operations:

Note 9. Special Charges
In September 1996, the Company recognized special charges to operating
income of $65.3 million ($42.7 million after tax) related to reorganization of
Engineering and Construction Services, severance costs for combining general
support functions throughout the Company, and certain other business structure
costs.
The Company recognized severance costs of $41.0 million to provide for the
termination of approximately one thousand employees related to reorganization
efforts at Engineering and Construction Services and plans to combine various
administrative support functions into combined shared services for the Company.
The terminations impact mostly middle and senior management levels within
business unit operations, business unit support, and general and administrative
areas. The terminations are to occur primarily during the fourth quarter of 1996
and first half of 1997. The Company also recognized $20.2 million of costs
associated with restructuring certain Engineering and Construction Services
businesses, providing for excess lease space and other items.
The above charges to net income were offset by tax credits during the
quarter of $43.7 million due to the recognition of net operating loss
carryforwards and the settlement during the quarter of various issues with the
Internal Revenue Service. The Company reached agreement with the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) and recognized net operating loss carryforwards of $62.5
million ($22.5 million in tax benefits) from the 1989 tax year. The net
operating loss carryforwards are expected to be utilized in the 1996 and 1997
tax years. In addition, the Company also reached agreement with the IRS on
issues related to intercompany pricing of goods and services for the tax years
1989 through 1992 and entered into an advanced pricing agreement for the tax
years 1993 through 1998. As a result of these agreements with the IRS, the
Company recognized tax benefits of $16.1 million. The Company also recognized
net operating loss carryforwards of $14.0 million ($5.1 million in tax benefits)
in certain foreign areas due to improving profitability and restructuring of
foreign operations.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK
In accordance with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company notes that the statements in this
10-Q and elsewhere, which are forward looking and which provide other than
historical information, involve risks and uncertainties that may impact the
Company's actual results of operations. Future trends for revenues and
profitability remain difficult to predict in the industries served by the
Company. The Company continues to face many risks and uncertainties including:
unsettled political conditions, war, civil unrest, currency controls and
governmental actions in countries of operation; trade restrictions and economic
embargoes; environmental laws, including those that require emission performance
standards for new and existing facilities; the magnitude of governmental
spending for military and logistical support of the type provided by the
Company; operations in higher risk countries; technological and structural
changes in the industries served by the Company; changes in the price of oil and
natural gas; changes in capital spending by customers in the hydrocarbon
industry for exploration, development, production, processing, refining and
pipeline delivery networks; changes in capital spending by customers in the wood
pulp and paper industries for plants and equipment; and changes in world
economic conditions related to capital spending by governments for
infrastructure.
The Company operates in over 100 countries around the world to provide a
variety of energy services and engineering and construction services. Operations
in some countries may be affected by unsettled political conditions,
expropriation or other governmental actions and exchange control and currency
problems. Recently enacted United States law provides for sanctions on foreign
companies and, in some cases, their affiliates which make certain investments in
petroleum resources in Iran or Libya or sell to such countries certain products
or technology which enhance the ability of those countries to develop their
petroleum resources. This new law may adversely impact the Company's ability to
provide services and/or products to some of its foreign customers, including the
cessation of operations and trading by certain foreign subsidiaries of the
Company with customers in such countries. Although at the present time it is not
possible to determine the exact nature of the impact of such law on the Company,
it is possible that the Company's ability to realize the value of equipment and
other assets, including accounts receivable, associated with such business may
become impaired and that such impairment may be material to the results of
operations of the Company for some future period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Third Quarter of 1996 Compared with the Third Quarter of 1995
Revenues
Consolidated revenues increased 22% to $1,813.3 million in the third
quarter of 1996 compared with $1,489.8 million in the same quarter of the prior
year. Approximately 55% of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from
international activities in the third quarter of 1996 compared to 50% in the
third quarter of 1995. Consolidated international revenues increased 33% in the
third quarter of 1996 over the third quarter of 1995. Consolidated United States
revenues increased by 10% in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the third
quarter of 1995.
Energy Services revenues increased by 14% compared with a 9% increase in
drilling activity as measured by the worldwide rotary rig count for the third
quarter of 1996 over the same quarter of the prior year. International revenues
increased by 9%, reflecting growth in Europe/Africa, Latin America, Middle East,
and Canada. United States revenues increased 21% while the United States rig
count increased 8% over the same quarter of the prior year.
Engineering and Construction Services revenues increased 28% to $1,034.3
million compared with $806.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year due
primarily to higher activity levels in the energy and chemicals industries as
well as increased activity pursuant to a service contract with the US Department
of Defense to provide technical and logistical support for military peacekeeping
operations in Bosnia.
Operating income
Consolidated operating income decreased 42% to $64.8 million in the third
quarter of 1996 compared with $111.1 million in the same quarter of the prior
year. The operating income in the third quarter of 1996 includes special charges
of $65.3 million for the reorganization of Engineering and Construction
Services, reorganization of various company-wide administrative support
functions, and other business structure costs. See Note 9 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements for additional information about these
charges. Excluding the special charges noted above, operating income for the
quarter was $130.1 million, or 17% higher than the prior year period. Excluding
the special charges, approximately 68% of the Company's consolidated operating
income was derived from international activities in the third quarter of 1996
compared to 71% in the third quarter of 1995.
Energy Services operating income increased 15% to $101.8 million in the
third quarter of 1996 compared with $88.2 million in the same quarter of the
prior year. The operating margin for the third quarter of 1996 was 13.1%
compared to the prior year operating margin of 12.9%. The increase in operating
income in 1996 is related to higher activity levels in several areas of the
world: North America in the Permian Basin and South Texas areas and from
deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico; Europe/Africa, primarily related to
the North Sea, Angola/Cabinda area, and the Congo basin; Asia/Pacific; the
Middle East; Russia; and Kazakhstan.
Engineering and Construction Services operating income increased 20% to
$37.5 million compared to $31.2 million in the third quarter of the prior year.
The increase in operating income includes profits from projects for the pulp and
paper and chemicals industry customers and income from the service contract with
the US Department of Defense mentioned above. These increases were partially
offset by lower energy income primarily driven by lower activity by European
Marine Contractors, Limited, and losses on several civil jobs. Operating margins
were 3.6% in the third quarter of 1996 compared to 3.9% in the prior year third
quarter.
Nonoperating items
Interest expense decreased to $6.8 million in the third quarter of 1996
compared to $15.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year due primarily to
the redemption of the zero coupon convertible subordinated debentures in
September 1995, and the redemption of the $42.0 million term loan in December
1995.
Interest income decreased in 1996 primarily due to lower levels of
invested cash due mainly to the redemption of long-term debt.
Foreign currency losses were $0.5 million for the third quarter of 1996 as
compared to $2.5 million for the same quarter in 1995. The third quarter of the
prior year included losses in the Nigerian naira.
10
The benefit (provision) for income taxes in the third quarter of 1996 is a
benefit of $21.3 million as compared to a provision of $34.9 million in the
prior year quarter. The benefit in 1996 includes tax credits of $43.7 million
due to the recognition of net operating loss carryforwards and the settlement
during the quarter of various issues with the Internal Revenue Service. See Note
9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information
on the tax benefits recognized in the third quarter of 1996.
Net income
Net income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 1996
increased 20% to $82.6 million, or 71 cents per share, compared with $68.8
million, or 60 cents per share, in the same quarter of the prior year.

Energy Services revenues increased by 15% compared with a 6% increase in
drilling activity as measured by the worldwide rotary rig count for the first
nine months of 1996 over the same period of the prior year. International
revenues increased by 12%, reflecting growth in the Europe/Africa and Latin
America markets. United States revenues increased 19% while the United States
rig count increased 6% over the same period of the prior year.
Engineering and Construction Services revenues increased 35% to $3,087.7
million compared with $2,279.7 million in the same nine month period of the
prior year due primarily to higher activity levels in the pulp and paper, energy
and chemicals industries as well as a service contract with the US Department of
Defense to provide technical and logistical support for military peacekeeping
operations in Bosnia.
Operating income
Consolidated operating income decreased 5% to $255.7 million in the first
nine months of 1996 compared with $269.8 million in the same period of the prior
year. The current year operating income includes special charges of $65.3
million for the reorganization of Engineering and Construction Services,
reorganization of various company-wide administrative support functions, and
other business structure costs. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements for additional information about these charges. Excluding
the special charges noted above, operating income for the nine months was $321.0
million, or 19% higher than the prior year period. Excluding the special
charges, approximately 71% of the Company's consolidated operating income was

to 67% in the same period of 1995.
Energy Services operating income increased 24% to $261.2 million in the
first nine months of 1996 compared with $211.5 million in the same period of the
prior year. The operating margin for the first nine months of 1996 was 12.1%
compared to the prior year operating margin of 11.2%. The increase in operating
income in 1996 is primarily related to higher activity levels in North America
from deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico; Europe/Africa, primarily related
to the North Sea; and Latin America, from activities in Mexico.
Engineering and Construction Services operating income for the first nine
months of 1996 was $86.2 million compared to 1995 operating income of $80.2
million. Operating margins were 2.8% in for the first nine months of 1996 and
3.5% for the same period in 1995. Results for the nine months include fees for
the service contract to provide technical and logistical support for military
peacekeeping operations in Bosnia as well as $35.0 million of income relating to
gain sharing revenue on the Brown & Root portion of the cost savings realized on
the BP Andrew alliance. The alliance completed the project seven months ahead of
the scheduled production of oil and achieved a $125 million savings compared
with the targeted cost. This was offset by a $17.1 million reduction in income
due to lower activity levels and revenues generated by European Marine
Contractors, Limited, and a $17.1 million charge relating to the impairment of
Brown & Root's equity in the Dulles Greenway toll road extension project.
11
Nonoperating items
Interest expense decreased to $17.5 million in the first nine months of
1996 compared to $40.1 million in the same period of the prior year due

Foreign currency losses were $2.5 million for the first nine months of
1996 as compared to a gain of $0.6 million for the same period in 1995. The
prior year period benefited from a gain in the first quarter of 1995 in Nigeria
from the devaluation of the naira which was offset by losses primarily related
to the Mexican peso. The current year losses are primarily attributable to the
devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.
The provision for income taxes in the first nine months is $43.8 million
as compared to a provision of $92.1 million in the prior year period. The
provision in 1996 is net of tax credits of $43.7 million due to the recognition
of net operating loss carryforwards and the settlement during the third quarter
of various issues with the Internal Revenue Service. See Note 9 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements for additional information on the tax benefits
recognized in 1996.
Net income
Net income from continuing operations in the first nine months of 1996
increased 24% to $201.2 million, or $1.74 per share, compared with $161.9
million, or $1.41 per share, in the same period of the prior year.
Realignment of product and service lines
The Company has announced plans to realign certain of its product and
service lines to exploit opportunities with its energy based customers.
Beginning in the 1996 fourth quarter, the Energy Services business segment will
include Halliburton Energy Services; Brown & Root Energy Services, which
includes the upstream oil and gas engineering and construction activities;
Landmark Graphics Corporation, which includes integrated exploration and
production information systems and professional services; and Halliburton Energy
Development, which has been formed to create business opportunities for the
development, production and operation of customers' oil and gas fields.
In addition, the Company has announced a restructuring of the remaining
services of the Engineering and Construction Services segment into two service
lines to more closely align with its customers. One service line will focus on
delivering engineering and construction services to commercial customers and the
other will focus on servicing government and municipal customers. The cost of
implementing this program is reflected in the 1996 third quarter $65.3 million
pre-tax charge.

million in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively. Included in

LANDMARK GRAPHICS ACQUISITION
On October 4, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of Landmark
Graphics Corporation in a stock transaction. See Note 7 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements for additional information.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company completed its exit from the insurance industry segment on
January 23, 1996, with distribution of the Company's property and casualty
insurance subsidiary, Highlands Insurance Group, Inc., to its shareholders in a
tax-free spin-off. The operations of the Insurance Services Group have been
classified as discontinued operations. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements for additional information.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is involved as a potentially responsible party in remedial
activities to clean up various "Superfund" sites under applicable Federal law
which imposes joint and several liability, if the harm is indivisible, on
certain persons without regard to fault, the legality of the original disposal,
or ownership of the site. Although it is very difficult to quantify the
potential impact of compliance with environmental protection laws, management of
the Company believes that any liability of the Company with respect to all but
one of such sites will not have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations of the Company. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements for additional information on the one site.
