Backlog of Unfulfilled Orders

Backlog

Backlog represents the dollar amount of revenue we expect to realize in the future as a result of performing work on contracts awarded andawarded. For our projects related to unconsolidated joint ventures, we have included our percentage ownership of the joint venture’s estimated revenue in progress.backlog to provide an indication of future work to be performed. Our backlog was $12$14.4 billion and $14.1$14.9 billion at December 31, 20102013 and 2009,2012, respectively. We estimate that, as of December 31, 2010, 55%2013, 49% of our backlog will be recognized as revenue within one year. All backlog is attributable to firm orders at December 31, 20102013 and December 31, 2009.2012. For additional information regarding backlog see our discussion within “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”


Contracts


Our contracts are broadly categorized as either cost-reimbursable or fixed-price, although both categories contain a portion of our contracts are “hybrid” contracts containing both cost-reimbursable and fixed-price scope.

scopes.


Fixed-price contracts are for a fixed sum to cover all costs and any profit element for a defined scope of work. Fixed-price contracts entail more risk to us because they require us to predetermine both the quantities of work to be performed, the project execution schedule and the costs associated with executing the work. Although fixed-price contracts involve greater risk than cost-reimbursable contracts, they also are potentially more profitable since the owner/customer pays a premium to transfer more project riskrisks to us.


Cost-reimbursable contracts include contracts where the price is variable based upon our actual costs incurred for time and materials, or for variable quantities of work priced at defined unit rates includingand reimbursable labor hour contracts. Profit on cost-reimbursable contracts may be a fixed amount, a mark-up applied to costs incurred, or a combination of the two. Cost reimbursableCost-reimbursable contracts are generally less risky than fixed-price contracts because the owner/customer retains many of the project risks.


Our IGP business segment provides substantial work under cost-reimbursable contracts with the U.S.United States Department of Defense (“DoD”) and other governmental agencies whichthat are generally subject to applicable statutes and regulations. If the Governmentgovernment finds that we improperly charged any costs to a contract under the terms of the contract or applicable Federal Procurement Regulations, these costs are potentially not reimbursable or, if already reimbursed, we may be required to refund the costs to the customer. Such conditions may also include financial penalties. If performance issues arise under any of our

government contracts, the government retains the right to pursue remedies, which could include termination under any affected contract. Furthermore, the government has the contractual right to terminate or reduce the amount of work under our contracts at any time. See “Risk Factors – Our U.S. government contracts work is regularly reviewed and audited by our customer, U.S. government auditors and others, and these reviews can lead to withholding or delay of payments to us, non-receipt of award fees, legal actions, fines, penalties and liabilities and other remedies against us.”

Intellectual Property


We have developed or otherwise have the right to license leading technologies including technologies held under license from third parties, used for the production of a variety of petrochemicals and chemicals and in the areas of olefins, refining, fertilizers, coal gasification and semi-submersible technology. We also license a variety of technologies for the transformation of raw materials into commodity chemicals such as phenol and aniline used in the production of consumer end-products. We are also a licensor of ammonia process technologies used in the conversion of Syngassynthetic gas to ammonia. We believe our technology portfolio and experience in the commercial application of these technologies and related know-how differentiates us, from other contractors, enhances our margins and encourages customers to utilize our broad range of engineering, procurement, constructionEPC and construction services (“EPC-CS”) services.


Our rights to make use of technologies licensed to us are governed by written agreements of varying durations, including some with fixed terms that are subject to renewal based on mutual agreement. Generally, each agreement may be further extended and we have historically been able to renew existing agreements before they expire. We expect these and other similar agreements to be extended so long as it is mutually advantageous to both parties at the time of renewal. However, the majority of our license fees tend to result in a one-time payment per agreement rather than ongoing royalty-type payments. For technologies we own, we protect our rights, know-how and trade secrets through patents and confidentiality agreements to protect our know-how and trade secrets.agreements. Our expenditures for research and development activities were immaterial in each of the past three fiscal years.


Seasonality


On an overall basis, our operations are not generally affected by seasonality. Weather and natural phenomena can temporarily affect the performance of our services, but the widespread geographic scope of our operations mitigates those effects.

services.


Employees

Employees

As of December 31, 2010,2013, we had approximately 35,00027,000 employees, in our continuing operations, of which approximately 10%17% were subject to collective bargaining agreements. Based upon the geographic diversification of our employees, we believe any risk of loss from employee strikes or other collective actions would not be material to the conduct of our operations taken as a whole. We believe that our employee relations are good.

Health and Safety


We are subject to numerous health and safety laws and regulations. In the United States, these laws and regulations include:include the Federal OccupationOccupational Safety and Health Act and comparable state legislation, the Mine Safety and Health Administration laws, and safety requirements of the Departments of State, Defense, Energy and Transportation.Transportation of the U.S. government. We are also subject to similar requirements in other countries in which we have extensive operations, including the United Kingdom where we are subject to the various regulations enacted by the Health and Safety Act of 1974.


These laws and regulations are frequently changing, and it is impossible to predict the effect of such laws and regulations on us in the future. We actively seek to maintain a safe, healthy and environmentally friendly work place for all of our employees and those who work with us. However, we provide some of our services in high-risk locations and, as a result, we may incur substantial costs to maintain the safety and security of our personnel.


Environmental Regulation


We are subject to numerous environmental, legal and regulatory requirements related to our operations worldwide. In the United States, these laws and regulations include, among others: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act; the Clean Air Act; the FederalClean Water Pollution Control Act; and the Toxic Substances Control Act. In addition to federal and state laws and regulations, other countries where we do business often have numerous environmental regulatory requirements by which we must abide in the normal course of our operations. These requirements apply to our business segments where we perform construction and industrial maintenance services or operate and maintain facilities.


We continue to monitor site conditions at sites owned or previously owned, and until further information is available, we are only able to estimate a possible range of remediation costs. These locations were primarily utilized for manufacturing or fabrication work and are no longer in operation. The use of these facilities created various environmental issues including deposits of metals, volatile and semi-volatile compounds and hydrocarbons impacting surface and subsurface soils and groundwater. The range of remediation costs could change depending on our ongoing site analysis and the timing and techniques used to implement remediation activities. We do not expect that costs related to environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations. Based on the information presently available to us, as of December 31, 2013, we have accrued approximately $7$2 million for the assessment and remediation costs associated with all environmental matters and could possibly incur an additional $1 million for which represents the low end of the range of possible costs that could be as much as $14 million.we have not accrued. See Note 1014 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on environmental matters.


We have been named as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) in various clean-up actions taken by federal and state agencies in the U.S. Based on the early stages of these actions,At this time, we are unable to determine whether we will ultimately be deemed responsible for any costs associated with these actions.


Existing or pending climate change legislation, regulations, international treaties or accords are not expected to have a short-term material direct effect on our business, or the markets that we serve noror on our results of operations or financial position.position with the possible exception of the power generation projects within our IGP business segment. However, climate change legislation could have a direct effect on our customers or suppliers, which could have an indirect effect onimpact our business. For example, our commodity-based markets depend on the level of activity of mineral and oil and gas companies and existing or future laws, regulations, treaties or international agreements related to climate change, including incentives to conserve energy or use alternative energy sources, which could have an indirect impact on our business if such laws, regulations, treaties or international agreements reduce the worldwide demand for minerals, oil and natural gas.  We will continue to monitor emerging developments in this area.


Compliance

We are subject to numerous compliance-related laws and regulations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act "the "FCPA"), the U.K. Bribery Act, other applicable anti-bribery legislation and laws and regulations regarding trade and exports. We are also governed by our own Code of Business Conduct and other compliance-related corporate policies and procedures that mandate compliance with these laws. Conducting our business with ethics and integrity is a key priority for KBR. Our Code of Business Conduct is a guide for every employee in applying legal and ethical practices to our everyday work. The Code of Business Conduct describes not only our standards of integrity but also some of the specific principles and areas of the law that are most likely to affect our business. We regularly train our employees regarding anti-bribery issues and our Code of Business Conduct.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Related to Operations of our Business

Our results of operations depend on the award of new contracts and the timing of the performance of these contracts.

A substantial portion of our revenue is directly or indirectly derived from new contract awards. Delays in the timing of the awards or potential cancellations of such prospects as a result of economic conditions, material and equipment pricing and availability or other factors could impact our long-term projected results. It is particularly difficult to predict whether or when we will receive large-scale international and domestic projects as these contracts frequently involve a lengthy and complex bidding and selection process, which is affected by a number of factors, such as market conditions, governmental and environmental approvals. Since a significant portion of our revenue is generated from such projects, our results of operations and cash flows can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter depending on the timing of our contract awards and the commencement or progress of work under awarded contracts. In addition, many of these contracts are subject to financing contingencies and, as a result, we are subject to the risk that the customer will not be able to secure the necessary financing for the project.

The uncertainty of our contract award timing can also present difficulties in matching workforce size with contract needs. In some cases, we maintain and bear the cost of a ready workforce that is larger than necessary under existing contracts, in anticipation of future workforce needs for expected contract awards. If an expected contract award is delayed or not received, we may incur additional costs resulting from reductions in staff or redundancy of facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The nature of our contracts, particularly those that are fixed-price, subjects us to risks associated with cost over-runs, operating cost inflation and potential claims for liquidated damages.

We conduct our business under various types of contracts where costs must be estimated in advance of our performance. Approximately

43% of the value of our backlog is attributable to fixed-price contracts where we bear a significant portion of the risk of cost over-runs. These types of contracts are priced based in part on cost and scheduling estimates that are based on assumptions including prices and availability of labor, equipment and materials as well as productivity, performance and future economic conditions. If these estimates prove inaccurate, there are errors or ambiguities as to contract specifications or if circumstances change due to, among other things, unanticipated technical problems, difficulties in obtaining permits or approvals, changes in local laws or labor conditions, weather delays, changes in the costs of equipment and materials or our suppliers’ or subcontractors’ inability to perform, then cost over-runs may occur. We may not be able to obtain compensation for additional work performed or expenses incurred. Additionally, we may be required to pay liquidated damages upon our failure to meet schedule or performance requirements of our contracts. Our failure to accurately estimate the resources and time required for fixed-price contracts or our failure to complete our contractual obligations within the time frame and costs committed could result in reduced profits or, in certain cases, a loss for that contract. If the contract is significant, or we encounter issues that impact multiple contracts, cost over-runs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to attract and retain a sufficient number of affordable trained engineers and other skilled workers, our ability to pursue projects may be adversely affected and our costs may increase.

Our rate of growth and the success of our business depends upon our ability to attract, develop and retain a sufficient number of affordable trained engineers and other skilled workers either through direct hire or acquisition of other firms employing such professionals. The market for these professionals is competitive. If we are unable to attract and retain a sufficient number of skilled personnel, our ability to pursue projects may be adversely affected, the costs of executing our existing and future projects may increase, and our financial performance may decline.

We conduct a portion of our engineering and construction operations through joint ventures and partnerships exposing us to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control.

We conduct a portion of our EPC operations through large project-specific joint ventures, where control may be shared with unaffiliated third parties. As with any joint venture arrangement, differences in views among the joint venture participants may result in delayed decisions or in failures to agree on major issues. We also cannot control the actions of our joint venture partners, including any nonperformance, default or bankruptcy of our joint venture partners, and we typically share liabilities on a joint and several basis with our joint venture partners under these arrangements. If our partners do not meet their contractual obligations, the joint venture may be unable to adequately perform and deliver its contracted services, requiring us to make additional investments or perform additional services to ensure the adequate performance and delivery of services to our customer. We could be liable for both our obligations and those of our partners, which may result in reduced profits or, in some cases, significant losses on the project. Additionally, these factors could have a material adverse effect on the business operations of the joint venture and, in turn, our business operations and reputation.

Operating through joint ventures in which we have a minority interest could result in us having limited control over many decisions made with respect to projects and internal controls relating to projects. These joint ventures may not be subject to the same requirements regarding internal controls and internal control reporting that we follow. As a result, internal control issues may arise, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, in order to establish or preserve relationships with our joint venture partners, we may agree to risks and contributions of resources that are proportionately greater than the returns we could receive, which could reduce our income and returns on these investments compared to what we may have received if the risks and resources we contributed were always proportionate to our returns.

The nature of our engineering and construction business exposes us to potential liability claims and contract disputes which may exceed or be excluded from existing insurance coverage.

We engage in engineering and construction activities for large facilities where design, construction or systems failures can result in substantial injury or damage to employees or other third parties or delays in completion or commencement of commercial operations, exposing us to legal proceedings, investigations and disputes. The nature of our business results in clients, subcontractors and vendors occasionally presenting claims against us for recovery of costs they incurred in excess of what they expected to incur or for which they believe they are not contractually liable. When it is determined that we have liability, we may not be covered by insurance or, if covered, the dollar amount of these liabilities may exceed our policy limits. Our professional liability coverage is on a “claims-made” basis covering only claims actually made during the policy period currently in effect. In addition, even where insurance is maintained for such exposures, the policies have deductibles, which result in us assuming exposure for a layer of coverage with respect to any such claims. Any liability not covered by our insurance, in excess of our insurance limits or, if covered by insurance but subject to a high deductible, could result in a significant loss for us, which may reduce our profits and cash available for operations.

We occasionally bring claims against project owners for additional costs exceeding the contract price or for amounts not included in the original contract price. These types of claims occur due to matters such as owner-caused delays or changes from the initial project scope, which may result in additional direct and indirect costs. Often, these claims can be the subject of lengthy arbitration or litigation proceedings, and it is difficult to accurately predict when these claims will be fully resolved. When these types of events occur and unresolved claims are pending, we may invest significant working capital in projects to cover cost overruns pending the resolution of the relevant claims. A failure to promptly recover on these types of claims could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and financial results.


12



International and political events may adversely affect our operations.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from foreign operations, which exposes us to risks inherent in doing business in each of the countries where we transact business. The occurrence of any of the risks described below could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial performance. With respect to any particular country, these risks may include, but not be limited to:

expropriation and nationalization of our assets in that country;
political and economic instability;
civil unrest, acts of terrorism, force majeure, war or other armed conflict;
currency fluctuations, devaluations and conversion restrictions;
confiscatory taxation or other adverse tax policies; or
governmental activities or judicial actions that limit or disrupt markets, restrict payments, limit the movement of funds, result in the deprivation of contract rights or result in the inability for us to obtain or retain licenses required for operation.

Due to the unsettled political conditions in many oil-producing countries and other countries where we provide governmental logistical support, our financial performance is subject to the adverse consequences of war, the effects of terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, currency controls and governmental actions. Our operations are conducted in areas that have significant political risk. In addition, military action or continued unrest in the Middle East could restrict the supply of oil and gas, disrupt our operations in the region and elsewhere and increase our costs related to security worldwide.

We may have additional tax liabilities associated with our domestic and international operations.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions, many of which are developing countries. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes due to lack of clear and concise tax laws and regulations in certain developing jurisdictions. It is not unlikely that laws may be changed or clarified and such changes may require material changes to our tax provisions. We are audited by various U.S. and foreign tax authorities and in the ordinary course of our business there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination may be uncertain. Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of tax audits and related litigation could be materially different from that which is reflected in our financial statements.

We work in international locations where there are high security risks, which could result in harm to our employees and contractors or substantial costs.

Some of our services are performed in high-risk locations, such as Iraq, Afghanistan, certain parts of Africa and the Middle East, where the country or surrounding area is suffering from political, social or economic issues, war or civil unrest. In those locations where we have employees or operations, we have and may continue to incur substantial costs to maintain the safety of our personnel. Despite these precautions, we have suffered the loss of employees and contractors that has resulted in claims and litigation. In the future, the safety of our personnel in these and other locations may continue to be at risk, exposing us to the potential loss of additional employees and contractors that could lead to future claims and litigation.

We ship a significant amount of cargo using seagoing vessels exposing us to certain maritime risks.

We execute different projects in remote locations around the world. Depending on the type of contract, location and the nature of the work, we may charter seagoing vessels under time and bareboat charter parties and assume certain risks typical of those agreements. Such risks may include damage to the ship, liability for cargo and liability which charterers and vessel operators have to third parties “at law”. In addition, we ship a significant amount of cargo and are subject to hazards of the shipping and transportation industry.

Demand for our services depends on demand and capital spending by customers in their target markets, many of which are cyclical in nature.


Demand for many of our services especially in our commodity-based markets depends on capital spending by oil and natural gas companies, including national and international oil companies, and by industrial, mining and power companies, which is directly affected by trends in oil, natural gas and commodities prices. Capital expenditures for refining and distribution facilities by large oil and gas companies have a significant impact on the activity levels of our businesses. Demand for LNG facilities for which we provide construction services could decrease in the event of a sustained reduction in demand for crude oil or natural gas prices.gas. Perceptions of longer-term lower oil and natural gas prices by oil and gas companies or longer-term higher material and contractor prices

13



impacting facility costs can similarly reduce or defer major expenditures given the long-term nature of many large-scale projects. Prices for oil, natural gas and commodities are subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors that are beyond our control. Factors affecting the prices of oil, natural gas and other commodities include:

include, but are not limited to:


worldwide or regional political, social or civil unrest, military action and economic conditions;

the level of demand for oil, natural gas, industrial services and power generation;

governmental regulations or policies, including the policies of governments regarding the use of energy and the exploration for and production and development of their oil and natural gas reserves;

a reduction in energy demand as a result of energy taxation or a change in consumer spending patterns;

global economic growth or decline;

the level of oil production by non-OPEC countries and the available excess production capacity within OPEC;

from OPEC countries;

global weather conditions and natural disasters;

oil refining capacity;

shifts in end-customer preferences toward fuel efficiency and the use of natural gas;

potential acceleration of the development and expanded use of alternative fuels;

environmental regulation, including limitations on fossil fuel consumption based on concerns about its relationship to climate change; and

reduction in demand for the commodity-based markets in which we serve.

operate.


Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future.

Additionally, demand


Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and, therefore, may not be a reliable indicator of our future revenue or earnings.

As of December 31, 2013, our backlog was approximately $14.4 billion. We cannot guarantee that the revenue projected in our backlog will be realized or that the projects will be profitable. Many of our contracts are subject to cancellation, termination or suspension at the discretion of the customer. From time to time, changes in project scope may occur with respect to contracts reflected in our backlog and could reduce the dollar amount of our backlog and the timing of the revenue and profits that we actually earn. Projects may remain in our backlog for an extended period of time because of the nature of the project and the timing of the particular services or equipment required by the project. Delays, suspensions, cancellations, payment defaults, scope changes and poor project execution could materially reduce or eliminate profits that we actually realize from projects in backlog. We cannot predict the impact that future economic conditions may have on our backlog, which could include a diminished ability to replace backlog once projects are completed or could result in the termination, modification or suspension of projects currently in our backlog. Such developments could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Intense competition in the engineering and construction industry could reduce our market share and profits.

We serve markets that are highly competitive and in which a large number of multinational companies compete. These highly competitive markets require substantial resources and capital investment in equipment, technology and skilled personnel. Our projects are frequently awarded through a competitive bidding process, which is standard in our industry. We are constantly competing for project awards based on pricing and the breadth and technical sophistication of our services. Any increase in competition or reduction in our competitive capabilities could have a material adverse effect on the margins we generate from our projects as well as our ability to maintain or increase market share.

A portion of our revenues is generated by large, recurring business from certain significant customers. A loss, cancellation or delay in projects by our significant customers in the future could negatively affect our revenues.

We provide services to a diverse customer base, including international and national oil and gas companies, independent refiners, petrochemical producers, fertilizer producers and domestic and foreign governments. A considerable percentage of revenue is generated from transactions with Chevron, primarily from our Gas Monetization business segment, and the U.S. government from our IGP business segment. Revenue from Chevron and the U.S. government in 2013 represented 26% and 8%, respectively, of our total consolidated revenue.


14



If we are unable to enforce our intellectual property rights or if our intellectual property rights become obsolete, our competitive position could be adversely impacted.

We utilize a variety of intellectual property rights in the provisioning of services to our customers. We view our portfolio of process and design technologies as one of our competitive strengths and we use it as part of our efforts to differentiate our service offerings. We may not be able to successfully preserve these intellectual property rights in the future and these rights could be invalidated, circumvented, challenged or infringed upon. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries in which our services may alsobe sold do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Since we license technologies from third parties, there is a risk that our relationships with licensors may terminate, expire or be interrupted or harmed. In some, but not all cases, we may be able to obtain the necessary intellectual property rights from alternative sources. If we are unable to protect and maintain our intellectual property rights, or if there are any successful intellectual property challenges or infringement proceedings against us, our ability to differentiate our service offerings could diminish. In addition, if our intellectual property rights or work processes become obsolete, we may not be able to differentiate our service offerings and some of our competitors may be able to offer more attractive services to our customers. As a result, our business and financial performance could be materially and adversely affectedaffected.

Our current business strategy includes the possibility of acquisitions, which present certain risks and uncertainties.

We may seek business acquisitions as a means of broadening our offerings and capturing additional market opportunities by our business segments and we may be exposed to certain additional risks resulting from these activities. These risks include, but are not limited to the following:

Valuation methodologies may not accurately capture the value proposition;
Future completed acquisitions may not be integrated within our operations with the efficiency and effectiveness initially expected, resulting in a potentially significant detriment to the associated product/service line financial results, and pose additional risks to our operations as a whole;
We may have difficulty managing our growth from acquisition activities;
Key personnel within an acquired organization may resign from their related positions resulting in a significant loss to our strategic and operational efficiency associated with the acquired company;
The effectiveness of our daily operations may be reduced by the consolidationredirection of employees and other resources to acquisition activities;
We may assume liabilities of an acquired business (e.g. litigation, tax liabilities, contingent liabilities, environmental issues), including liabilities that were unknown at the time of the acquisition, that pose future risks to our working capital needs, cash flows and the profitability of related operations;
We may assume unprofitable projects that pose future risks to our working capital needs, cash flows and the profitability of related operations;
Business acquisitions may include substantial transactional costs to complete the acquisition that exceed the estimated financial and operational benefits; or
Future acquisitions may require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on attractive terms, if at all. Moreover, to the extent an acquisition transaction results in additional goodwill, it will reduce our tangible net worth, which might have an adverse effect on our credit capacity.

We rely on information technology ("IT") systems to conduct our business, and disruption, failure or security breaches of these systems could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We rely heavily on IT systems in order to achieve our business objectives.  We also rely upon industry accepted security measures and technology to securely maintain confidential and proprietary information maintained on our IT systems.  However, our portfolio of hardware and software products, solutions and services and our enterprise IT systems may be vulnerable to damage or disruption caused by circumstances beyond our control such as catastrophic events, power outages, natural disasters, computer system or network failures, computer viruses, cyber attacks or other malicious software programs.  The failure of our customers, which:

IT systems to perform as anticipated for any reason could cause customers to reduce their capital spending, which in turn reduces the demand fordisrupt our services;business and

could result in customer personnel changes,decreased performance, significant remediation costs, transaction errors, loss of data, processing inefficiencies, downtime, litigation and the loss of suppliers or customers. We have experienced limited and infrequent security threats, none of which in turn affects the timingwe considered to be significant to our business or results of contract negotiations and settlements of claims and claim negotiations with engineering and construction customers on cost variances and change orders on major projects.

The nature of our contracts, particularly those that are fixed-price, subject us to risks associated with cost over-runs, operating cost inflation and potential claims for liquidated damages.

Our long-term contracts to provide services can be cost-reimbursable, fixed-priceoperations, but significant disruption or hybrid. In connection with projects or portions of projects that are fixed-price, we bear a significant portion of the risk of cost over-runs, operating cost inflation, labor availability and productivity, and supplier and subcontractor pricing and performance. Our failure to accurately estimate the resources and time required for a fixed-price contract or our failure to complete our contractual obligations within the time frame and costs committed could have a material adverse effect on our business results of operations, financial performance and financial condition.

We are implementing a new enterprise resource planning software system ("ERP") and failure to implement the ERP successfully could adversely affect our contracts include:

Our engineering, procurementbusiness and construction projects may encounter difficultiesresults of operations.


We are incurring costs associated with designing and implementing a new company-wide ERP with the objective of gradually migrating to the new system. We had capital expenditures of $53 million in the2013 for ERP design or engineering phasesand implementation. In addition, we incurred expenses related to the procurementERP initiative of supplies, schedule changes, equipment performance failures,$41 million during 2013. Capital expenditures and other factors that may result in additional costs to us, reductions in revenue, claims or disputes.

We mayexpenses for ERP for 2014 and beyond will depend upon the pace of conversion. If implementation is not be able to obtain compensation for additional work or expenses, particularly on our fixed-price contracts, incurred as a result of customer change orders or our customers providing deficient design or engineering information, equipment or materials.

We may be required to pay liquidated damages upon our failure to meet schedule or performance requirements of our contracts.

Difficulties in engaging third party subcontractors, equipment manufacturers or materials suppliers or failures by third party subcontractors, equipment manufacturers or materials suppliers to performexecuted successfully, this could result in business interruptions. If we do not complete the implementation of ERP timely and successfully, we may incur additional costs associated with completing this project delays and causea delay in our ability to improve existing operations, support future growth and enable us to incur additional costs.

Our projects expose us to potential professional liability, product liability, warranty, performancetake advantage of new applications and other claims that may exceed our available insurance coverage. Although we have historically been able to secure our insurance needs, there can be no assurances that we can securetechnologies.


An impairment of all necessary or appropriate insurance in the future.

The naturepart of our engineering and construction business exposes us to potential liability claims and contract disputes which may reducegoodwill and/or our profits.

We engage in engineering and construction activities for large facilities where design, construction or systems failures can result in substantial injury or damage to third parties. In addition, the nature of our business results in clients, subcontractors and vendors occasionally presenting claims against us for recovery of cost they incurred in excess of what they expected to incur, or for which they believe they are not contractually liable. We have been and may in the future be named as a defendant in legal proceedings where parties may make a claim for damages or other remedies with respect to our projects or other matters. These claims generally arise in the normal course of our business. When it is determined that we have liability, we may not be covered by insurance or, if covered, the dollar amount of these liabilities may exceed our policy limits. Our professional liability coverage is on a “claims-made” basis covering only claims actually made during the policy period currently in effect. In addition, even where insurance is maintained for such exposures, the policies have deductibles resulting in our assuming exposure for a layer of coverage with respect to any such claims. Any liability not covered by our insurance, in excess of our insurance limits or, if covered by insurance but subject to a high deductible, could result in a significant loss for us, which may reduce our profits and cash available for operations.

We occasionally bring claims against project owners for additional cost exceeding the contract price or for amounts not included in the original contract price. These types of claims occur due to matters such as owner-caused delays or changes from the initial project scope, which result in additional cost, both direct and indirect. Often, these claims can be the subject of lengthy arbitration or litigation proceedings, and it is often difficult to accurately predict when these claims will be fully resolved. When these types of events occur and unresolved claims are pending, we may invest significant working

capital in projects to cover cost overruns pending the resolution of the relevant claims. A failure to promptly recover on these types of claimsintangible assets could have a material adverse impact on our liquiditynet earnings and financial results.

Demand forAs of December 31, 2013, we had $772 million of goodwill and $85 million of intangible assets recorded on our services provided under U.S. government contractsconsolidated balance sheets. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired in business combinations. If our market capitalization drops significantly below the amount of net equity recorded on our balance sheets, it might indicate a decline in our fair value and would require us to further evaluate whether our goodwill has been impaired. We perform an annual and an interim analysis, if appropriate, of our goodwill to determine if it has become impaired. The analysis requires us to make assumptions in estimates of fair value of our reporting units. If actual results are directly affected by spending and capital expenditures by our customers and our abilitysignificantly different from the estimates, we might be required to contract with our customers.

We derive a significantwrite down the impaired portion of goodwill. An impairment of all or a part of our revenue from contracts with agencies and departments of the U.S. government which is directly affected by changes in government spending and availability of adequate funding. For example, we are currently the sole service provider under our LogCAP III contract in the Middle East and elsewhere and have been awarded a portion of the LogCAP IV contract. However, the current level of government services being provided in the Middle East will not likely continue for an extended period of time and we expect our overall volume of work to decline as our customer scales back its requirements for the types and the amounts of service we provide. Factors that could impact current and future U.S. government spending include:

policygoodwill and/or spending changes implemented by the current administration, DoD or other government agencies;

changes, delays or cancellations of U.S. government programs or requirements;

adoption of new laws or regulations that affect companies providing services to the U.S. government;

curtailment of the U.S. governments’ outsourcing of services to private contractors;

The loss of or a significant decrease in the magnitude of work we perform for the U.S. government in the Middle East or other decreases in governmental spending and outsourcing of the type that we provideintangible assets could have a material adverse effect on our business,net earnings and net worth.


Our use of the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition could result in a reduction or reversal of previously recorded revenues and profits.

A substantial portion of our revenues and profits are measured and recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition. Our use of this accounting method results in recognition of operationsrevenues and cash flow.

profits ratably over the life of a contract, based generally on the proportion of costs incurred to date to total costs expected to be incurred for the entire project, the ratio of hours performed to date to our estimate of total expected hours at completion, or the physical progress methodology. The effects of revisions to revenues and estimated costs are recorded when the amounts are known or can be reasonably estimated. Such revisions could occur in any period and their effects could be material. Although we have historically made reasonably reliable estimates of the progress towards completion of long-term engineering, program management, construction management or construction contracts, the uncertainties inherent in the estimating process make it possible for actual costs to vary materially from estimates, including reductions or reversals of previously recorded revenues and profits.


Risks Related to U.S. Government Operations of our Business

The U.S. government awards its contracts through a rigorous competitive process and our efforts to obtain future contract awardscontracts from the U.S. government may be unsuccessful.


The U.S. government conducts a rigorous competitive process for awarding most contracts. In the services arena, the U.S. government uses multiple contracting approaches. It usesHistorically, omnibus contract vehicles, such as LogCAP,support for the military in Iraq, have been used for work that is done on a contingency or as-needed basis. In more predictable “sustainment” environments, contracts may include both fixed-price and cost-reimbursable elements. The U.S. government has also recently favored multiple award task order contracts in which several contractors are selected as eligible bidders for future work. Such processes require successful contractors to continually anticipate customer requirements and develop rapid-response bid and proposal teams as well as have supplier relationships and delivery systems in place to react to emerging needs. We will face rigorous competition and pricing pressures for any additional contract awards from the U.S. government, and we may be required to qualify or continue to qualify under the various multiple award task order contract criteria. The DoD has awarded us a portion of the LogCAP IV contract, which is a multiple award task order contract, and has also extended our performance under the LogCAP III contract to the end of 2011 under which we are the sole provider. We may not be awarded any further task orders under the LogCAP IV contract, which could have a material adverse effect on future results of operations. It may be more difficult for us to win future awards from the U.S. government and we may have other contractors sharing in any U.S. government awards that we win. In addition, negative publicity regarding findings stemming from DCAA audits by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (the "DCAA") and Congressional investigations may adversely affect our ability to obtain future awards. See“Item "Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Analysis - U.S. Government Matters."

Demand for our services provided under U.S. government contracts are directly affected by spending and capital expenditures by our customers.

We derive a portion of our revenue from contracts with agencies and departments of the U.S. government, which is directly affected by changes in government spending and availability of adequate funding. Additionally, U.S. government regulations generally include the right for government agencies to modify, delay, curtail, renegotiate or terminate contracts at their convenience any time prior to their completion. As a defense contractor, our financial performance is affected by the allocation and prioritization of U.S. defense spending, including sequestration. Factors that could effect current and future U.S. government spending include:

policy and/or spending changes implemented by the current administration, DoD or other government agencies;
changes, delays or cancellations of U.S. government programs or requirements;
adoption of new laws or regulations that affect companies providing services to the U.S. government;
curtailment of the U.S. governments’ outsourcing of services to private contractors; or
level of political instability due to war, conflict or natural disasters.

We face uncertainty with respect to our U.S. government contracts due to the fiscal and economic challenges facing the U.S. government, including sequestration and issues surrounding the U.S. national debt ceiling. Potential contract cancellations, modifications or terminations may arise from resolution of these issues and could cause our revenues, profits and cash flows to be lower than our current projections. The loss of work we perform for the U.S. government or decreases in governmental spending and outsourcing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows

.


Our U.S. government contract work is regularly reviewed and audited by our customer, U.S. government auditors and others, and these reviews can lead to withholding or delay of payments to us, non-receipt of award fees, legal actions, fines, penalties and liabilities and other remedies against us.


U.S. government contracts are subject to specific regulations such as the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”("FAR"), the Truth in Negotiations Act, the Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”("CAS"), the Service Contract Act and Department of DefenseDoD security regulations. Failure to comply with any of these regulations, requirements or statutes may result in contract price adjustments, financial penalties or contract termination. Our U.S. government contracts are subject to audits, cost reviews and investigations by U.S. government contracting oversight agencies such as the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”).DCAA. The DCAA reviews the adequacy of, and our compliance with, our internal control systems and policies, including our labor, billing, accounting, purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. The DCAA has the authority to conduct audits and reviews to determine if KBR is complying with the requirements under the FAR and CAS, pertaining to the allocation, period assignment, allowability, and allocationallowability of costs assigned to US GovernmentU.S. government contracts. The DCAA presents its report

findings to the Defense Contract Management Agency (“DCMA”("DCMA"). Should the DCMA determine that we have not complied with the terms of our contract and applicable statutes and regulations, payments to us may be disallowed, which could result in adjustments to previously reported revenues and refunding of previously collected cash proceeds.

Additionally, we may be subject to qui tam litigation brought by private individuals on behalf of the U.S. government under the Federal False Claims Act, which could include claims for treble damages.


Given the demands of working in the Middle Eastdomestically and elsewhereoverseas for the U.S. government, we expect that from time to time we willmay have disagreements or experience performance issues with the various government customers for which we work. Ifissues. When performance issues arise under any of our U.S. government contracts, the U.S. government retains the right to pursue remedies, which could include threatened termination or termination under any affected contract. If any contract were so terminated, we may not receive award fees under the affected contract and our ability to secure future contracts could be adversely affected, although we would receive payment for amounts owed for our allowable costs under cost-reimbursable contracts. Other remedies that could be sought by our government customers may seek for any improper activities or performance issues include sanctions such as forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions or debarment from doing business with the government. Further, the negative publicity that could arise from disagreements with our customers or sanctions as a result thereof could have an adverse effect on our reputation in the industry, reduce our ability to compete for new contracts and may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Our results of operations depend on the award of new contractsflows.


Risks Related to Governmental Regulations and the timing of the performance of these contracts.

A substantial portion of our revenue is directly or indirectly derived from new contract awards. Delays in the timing of the awards or potential cancellations of such prospects as a result of economic conditions, material and equipment pricing and availability, or other factors could impact our long term projected results. It is particularly difficult to predict whether or when we will receive large-scale international and domestic projects as these contracts frequently involve a lengthy and complex bidding and selection process which is affected by a number of factors, such as market conditions, governmental approvals and environmental matters. Because a significant portion of our revenue is generated from such projects, our results of operations and cash flow can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter depending on the timing of our contract awards and the commencement or progress of work under awarded contracts. In addition, many of these contracts are subject to financing contingencies and, as a result, we are subject to the risk that the customer will not be able to secure the necessary financing for the project.

We may be unable to obtain new contract awards if we are unable to provide our customers with bonds, letters of credit or other credit enhancements.

Customers may require us to provide credit enhancements, including surety bonds, letters of credit or bank guarantees. We are often required to provide performance guarantees to customers to indemnify the customer should we fail to perform our obligations under the contract. Failure to provide a bond on terms required by a customer may result in an inability to bid on or win a contract award. Historically, we have had adequate bonding capacity but such bonding beyond the capacity of our Revolving Credit Agreement is generally at the provider’s sole discretion. Due to events that affect the insurance and bonding markets generally, bonding may be difficult to obtain or may only be available at significant cost. Moreover, many projects are often very large and complex, which often necessitates the use of a joint venture, often with a competitor, to bid on and perform the contract. However, entering into joint ventures or partnerships exposes us to the credit and performance risk of third parties, many of whom are not as financially strong as us. If our joint ventures or partners fail to perform, we could suffer negative results. In addition, future projects may require us to obtain letters of credit that extend beyond the term of our current credit facility. Any inability to obtain adequate bonding and/or provide letters of credit or other customary credit enhancements and, as a result, to bid on or win new contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects and future revenue.

The uncertainty of the timing of future contract awards may inhibit our ability to recover our labor costs.

The uncertainty of our contract award timing can also present difficulties in matching workforce size with contract needs. In some cases, we maintain and bear the cost of a ready workforce that is larger than called for under existing contracts in anticipation of future workforce needs for expected contract awards. If an expected contract award is delayed or not received, we may incur additional costs resulting from reductions in staff or redundancy of facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations.

As of December 31, 2010, our backlog was approximately $12 billion. We cannot guarantee that the revenue projected in our backlog will be realized or profitable. Project terminations or suspensions and changes in project scope may occur, from time to time, with respect to contracts reflected in our backlog and could reduce the dollar amount of our backlog and the revenue and profits that we actually earn. Many of our contracts have termination for convenience provisions in them. In addition, projects may remain in our backlog for an extended period of time. Finally, poor project performance could also impact our backlog and profits if it results in termination of the contract. We cannot predict the impact the recent worldwide economic recession may have on our backlog which could include a diminished ability to replace backlog once projects are completed and/or could result in the termination, modification or suspension of projects currently in our backlog. Such developments could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We conduct a portion of our engineering and construction operations through large project-specific joint ventures. The failure of our joint venture partners to perform their joint venture obligations could impose on us additional financial and performance obligations that could result in reduced profits or, in some cases, significant losses.

We conduct a portion of our engineering, procurement and construction operations through large project-specific joint ventures, where control may be shared with unaffiliated third parties. As with any joint venture arrangement, differences in views among the joint venture participants may result in delayed decisions or in failures to agree on major issues. We also cannot control the actions of our joint venture partners, including any nonperformance, default, or bankruptcy of our joint venture partners, and we typically have joint and several liability with our joint venture partners under these joint venture arrangements. If our partners do not meet their obligations, the joint venture may be unable to adequately perform and deliver its contracted services requiring us to make additional investments or provide additional services. These factors could have a material adverse affect the business operations of the joint venture and, in turn, our business operations as well as our reputation within our industry and our client base.

Operating through joint ventures in which we have a minority interest could result in us having limited control over many decisions made with respect to projects and internal controls relating to projects. These joint ventures may not be subject to the same requirements regarding internal controls and internal control reporting that we follow. As a result, internal control issues may arise, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation. When entering into joint ventures, in order to establish or preserve relationships with our joint venture partners, we may agree to risks and contributions of resources that are proportionately greater than the returns we could receive, which could reduce our income and returns on these investments compared to what we would have received if the risks and resources we contributed were always proportionate to our returns.

We make equity investments in privately financed projects in which we could sustain significant losses.

We participate in privately financed projects that enable our government and other customers to finance large-scale projects, such as major military equipment, capital project and service purchases. These projects typically include the facilitation of non-recourse financing, the design and construction of facilities, and the provision of operation and maintenance services for an agreed to period after the facilities have been completed. We may incur contractually reimbursable costs and typically make an equity investment prior to an entity achieving operational status or completing its full project financing. If a project is unable to obtain financing, we could incur losses including our contractual receivables and our equity investment. After completion of these projects, our equity investments can be at risk, depending on the operation of the project and market factors, which may not be under our control. As a result, we could sustain a loss on our equity investment in these projects.

Intense competition in the engineering and construction industry could reduce our market share and profits.

We serve markets that are highly competitive and in which a large number of multinational companies compete. These highly competitive markets require substantial resources and capital investment in equipment, technology and skilled personnel. Our projects are frequently awarded through a competitive bidding process, which is standard in our industry. We are constantly competing for project awards based on pricing and the breadth and technological sophistication of our services. Any increase in competition or reduction in our competitive capabilities could have a significant adverse impact on the margins we generate from our projects or our ability to retain market share.

If we are unable to attract and retain a sufficient number of affordable trained engineers and other skilled workers, our ability to pursue projects may be adversely affected and our costs may increase.

Our rate of growth and success of our business depends upon our ability to attract, develop and retain a sufficient number of affordable trained engineers and other skilled workers either through direct hire or acquisition of other firms employing such professionals. The market for these professionals is competitive. If we are unable to attract and retain a sufficient number of skilled personnel, our ability to acquire projects may be adversely affected and the costs of performing our existing and future projects may increase, which may adversely impact our margins.

We ship a significant amount of cargo using seagoing vessels which expose us to certain maritime risks.

We execute different projects around the world that include remote locations. Depending on the type of contract, location and the nature of the work, we may charter vessels under time and bareboat charter parties that assume certain risks typical of those agreements. Such risks may include damage to the ship and liability for cargo and liability which charterers and vessel operators have to third parties “at law”. In addition, we ship a significant amount of cargo and are subject to hazards of the shipping and transportation industry.

If we are unable to enforce our intellectual property rights or if our intellectual property rights become obsolete, our competitive position could be adversely impacted.

We utilize a variety of intellectual property rights in our services. We view our portfolio of process and design technologies as one of our competitive strengths and we use it as part of our efforts to differentiate our service offerings. We may not be able to successfully preserve these intellectual property rights in the future and these rights could be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries in which our services may be sold do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Because we license technologies from third parties, there is a risk that our relationships with licensors may terminate or expire or may be interrupted or harmed. In some, but not all cases, we may be able to obtain the necessary intellectual property rights from alternative sources. If we are unable to protect and maintain our intellectual property rights, or if there are any successful intellectual property challenges or infringement proceedings against us, our ability to differentiate our service offerings could be reduced. In addition, if our intellectual property rights or work processes become obsolete, we may not be able to differentiate our service offerings, and some of our competitors may be able to offer more attractive services to our customers. As a result, our business and revenue could be materially and adversely affected.

Recent or future economic recessions may affect a portion of our client base, subcontractors and suppliers and could materially affect our backlog and profits.

A recession could reduce the availability of liquidity and credit to fund or support the continuation and expansion of industrial business operations as occurred with the recent worldwide economic recession. A disruption of the credit markets could adversely affect our clients’ borrowing capacity, which support the continuation and expansion of projects worldwide, and could result in contract cancellations or suspensions, project delays, payment delays or defaults by our clients. In addition, clients may choose to make fewer capital expenditures, to otherwise slow their spending on our services or to seek contract terms more favorable to them. Our government clients may face budget deficits that prohibit them from funding proposed and existing projects or that cause them to exercise their right to terminate our contracts with little or no prior notice. Furthermore, any financial difficulties suffered by our subcontractors or suppliers could increase our cost or adversely impact project schedules. These disruptions could materially impact our backlog and profits.

We may not be able to raise additional capital or obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and/or acquisitions.

The financial market condition and recent worldwide economic recession weakened the capital and credit markets which could make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital or obtain additional financing. Our ability to obtain such additional capital or financing will depend in part upon prevailing market conditions, as well as conditions in our business and our operating results; and those factors may affect our efforts to arrange additional financings on terms that are satisfactory to us. We cannot be certain that additional funds will be available if needed to make future investments in certain projects, take advantage of acquisitions or other future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures. If additional funds are not available, or are not available on terms satisfactory to us, there could be a material adverse impact on our business and operations.

Our revolving credit facility imposes restrictions that limit our operating flexibility and may result in additional expenses, and this credit facility will not be available if financial covenants are not met or if an event of default occurs.

Our Revolving Credit Facility provides up to $1.1 billion of borrowing, including $880 million in letters of credit fronting commitments at December 31, 2010, and expires in November 2012. The Revolving Credit Facility contains a number of covenants restricting, among other things, incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, sales of our assets, the amount of investments we can make, and the amount of dividends we can declare to pay or equity shares that can be repurchased. We are also subject to certain financial covenants, including maintenance of ratios with respect to consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA and a minimum consolidated net worth. If we fail to meet the covenants or an event of default occurs, we would not have available the liquidity that the facility provides.

A breach of any covenant or our inability to comply with the required financial ratios could result in a default under our Revolving Credit Facility, and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary waivers or amendments from our lenders to remedy a default. In the event of any default not cured or waived, the lenders under our Revolving Credit Facility are not required to lend any additional amounts or issue letters of credit and could elect to require us to apply all of our available cash to collateralize any outstanding letters of credit, declare any outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable or require us to apply all of our available cash to repay any borrowings then outstanding at the time of default. If we are unable to collateralize our letters of credit or repay borrowings with respect to our Revolving Credit Facility when due, our lenders could proceed against the guarantees of our major domestic subsidiaries. If any future indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility is accelerated, we can provide no assurance that our assets would be sufficient to repay such indebtedness in full.

An impairment of all or part of our goodwill and/or our intangible assets could have a material adverse impact to our net earnings and net worth.

As of December 31, 2010, we had $947 million of goodwill and $127 million of intangible assets recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired in business combinations. If our market capitalization drops significantly below the amount of net equity recorded on our balance sheet, it might indicate a decline in our fair value and would require us to further evaluate whether our goodwill has been impaired. We also perform an annual review of our goodwill and intangible assets to determine if it has become impaired which would require us to write down the impaired portion of these assets. An impairment of all or a significant part of our goodwill and/or intangible assets would have a material adverse impact to our net earnings and net worth.

Law


We are subject to certain U.S. laws and regulations, which are the subject of rigorous enforcement by the U.S. government.


To the extent that we export products, technical data and services outside of the United States, we are subject to laws and regulations governing trade and exports, including, but not limited to, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the Export Administration Regulations and trade sanctions against embargoed countries, which are administered by the Office of Foreign Asset Control within the Department of the Treasury. A failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in civil and/or criminal sanctions, including the imposition of fines upon us as well as the denial of export privileges and debarment from

participation in U.S. government contracts. Additionally, we may be subject to qui tam litigation brought by private individuals on behalf of the U.S. government under the Federal False Claims Act, which could include claims for treble damages. U.S. government contract violations could result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties or sanctions, contract termination, forfeiture of profit and/or suspension of payment, any of which could make us lose our status as an eligible U.S. government contractor and cause us to suffer serious harm to our reputation. Any suspension or

termination of our U.S. government contractor status could have a negativematerial adverse impact toeffect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.


We are subject to anti-bribery laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions, violations of which could include suspension or debarment of our ability to contract with the United States,U.S. state or local governments, U.S. government agencies or the U.K. MoD, third partythird-party claims, loss of customers, adverse financial impact, damage to reputation and adverse consequences on financing for current or future projects.


The FCPA, in the U.S.U.K. Anti-Bribery Act and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-U.S. officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. We operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. We train our staff concerning FCPA issues, and we also inform our partners, subcontractors, agents and other third parties who work for us or on our behalf that they must comply with the requirements of the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws. We also have procedures and controls in place to monitor internal and external compliance. We cannot assure youprovide complete assurance that our internal controls and procedures will always will protect us from the reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or third parties working on our behalf. If we are found to be liable for violations of these laws (either due to our own acts or our inadvertence, or due to the acts or inadvertence of others), we could suffer from criminal or civil penalties or other sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our current business strategy includes acquisitions


We could be adversely impacted if we fail to comply with domestic and international export laws.

To the extent we export technical services, data and products outside of the U.S., we are subject to U.S. and international laws and regulations governing international trade and exports, including, but not limited to, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the Export Administration Regulations and trade sanctions against embargoed countries. A failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in civil or criminal sanctions, including the imposition of fines, the denial of export privileges and suspension or debarment from participation in U.S. government contracts, which present certain riskscould have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to various environmental, health and uncertainties.

We seek business acquisition activities as a means of broadening our offeringssafety laws and capturing additional market opportunities by our business units. As a result,regulations. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, we may incur certain additional risks accompanyingsignificant costs and penalties that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.


Our operations are subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations governing the generation, management and use of regulated materials, the discharge of materials into the environment, the remediation of environmental contamination associated with the release of hazardous substances and human health and safety. Violations of these laws and regulations can cause significant delays and add significant cost to a project.

Various U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations may impose liability for property damage and costs of investigation and clean up of hazardous or toxic substances on property currently or previously owned by us or arising out of our waste management or environmental remediation activities. These risks includelaws may impose responsibility and liability without regard to knowledge or causation of the following:

presence of contaminants. The liability under these laws is joint and several. The ongoing costs of complying with existing environmental laws and regulations could be substantial and have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Valuation methodologies

When we perform our services, our personnel and equipment may be exposed to radioactive and hazardous materials and conditions. We may be subject to claims alleging personal injury, property damage or natural resource damages by employees, customers and third parties as a result of alleged exposure to or contamination by hazardous substances. In addition, we may be subject to fines, penalties or other liabilities arising under environmental safety laws. A claim, if not accurately capturecovered by insurance at all or only partially, could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Changes in the value proposition;

environmental laws and regulations, remediation obligations, enforcement actions, stricter interpretations of existing requirements, future discovery of contamination or claims for damages to persons, property, natural resources or the environment could result in material costs and liabilities that we currently do not anticipate.

Risks Related to Financial Conditions and Markets

Current or future economic conditions in the credit markets may negatively affect the ability to operate our or our customers’ businesses, finance working capital, implement our acquisition strategy and access our cash and short-term investments.

We finance our business using cash provided by operations, but also depend on the availability of credit for growth. Our ability to obtain capital or financing on satisfactory terms will depend in part upon prevailing market conditions as well as our operating results. If adequate credit or funding is not available, or is not available on terms satisfactory to us, there could be a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance.

Disruptions of the credit markets could also adversely affect our clients’ borrowing capacity, which supports the continuation and expansion of projects worldwide, and could result in contract cancellations or suspensions, project delays and payment delays or defaults by our clients. In addition, clients may choose to make fewer capital expenditures or otherwise slow their spending on our services or to seek contract terms more favorable to them. Our government clients may face budget deficits that prohibit them from funding proposed and existing projects or that cause them to exercise their right to terminate our contracts with little or no prior notice. Furthermore, any financial difficulties suffered by our subcontractors or suppliers could increase our cost or adversely impact project schedules. These disruptions could materially impact our backlog and financial performance.

In addition, we are subject to the risk that the counterparties to our Credit Agreement may be unable to meet their contractual obligations to us if they suffer catastrophic demands on their liquidity. We also routinely enter into contracts with counterparties, including vendors, suppliers and subcontractors, that may be negatively affected by events in the credit markets. If those counterparties are unable to perform their obligations to us or our clients, we may be required to provide additional services or make alternate arrangements on less favorable terms with other parties to ensure adequate performance and delivery of service to our clients. These circumstances could also lead to disputes and litigation with our partners or clients, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, our cash balances and short-term investments are maintained in accounts held at major banks and financial institutions located primarily in North America, the United Kingdom and Australia. Deposits are in amounts that exceed available insurance. Although none of the financial institutions in which we hold our cash and investments have gone into bankruptcy, been forced into receivership or have been seized by their governments, there is a risk that this may occur in the future. If this were to occur, we would be at risk of not being able to access our cash and investments which may result in a temporary liquidity crisis that could impede our ability to fund operations.

We may be unable to obtain new contract awards if we are unable to provide our customers with letters of credit, surety bonds or other credit enhancements.

Customers may require us to provide credit enhancements, including letters of credit, bank guarantees or surety bonds. We are often required to provide performance guarantees to customers to indemnify the customer should we fail to perform our obligations under the contract. Failure to provide the required credit enhancements on terms required by a customer may result in an inability to bid, win or comply with the contract. Historically, we have had adequate letters of credit capacity but such capacity beyond our Credit Agreement is generally at the provider’s sole discretion. Due to events that affect the banking and insurance markets generally, letters of credit and/or surety bonds may be difficult to obtain or may only be available at significant cost. Moreover, many projects are often very large and complex, which often necessitates the use of a joint venture, often with a market competitor, to bid on and perform the contract. However, entering into joint ventures or partnerships exposes us to the credit and performance risk of third parties, many of whom may not be integrated withinfinancially strong. If our operations with the efficiency and effectiveness initially expected resulting in a potentially significant detrimentjoint ventures or partners fail to the associated product service line financial results, and pose additional risks to our operations as a whole;

We may have difficulty managing the growth from acquisition activities;

Key personnel within an acquired organization may resign from their related positions resulting in a significant loss to our strategic and operational efficiency associated with the acquired company;

The effectiveness of our daily operations may be reduced by the redirection of employees and other resources to acquisition activities;

We may assume liabilities of an acquired business (e.g. litigation, tax liabilities, contingent liabilities, environmental issues), including liabilities that were unknown at the time the acquisition, that poseperform, we could suffer negative results. In addition, future risks to our working capital needs, cash flows and the profitability of related operations;

Business acquisitions may include substantial transactional costs to complete the acquisition that exceed the estimated financial and operational benefits;

Future acquisitionsprojects may require us to obtain letters of credit that extend beyond the term of our current Credit Agreement. Any inability to bid for or win new contracts due to the failure of obtaining adequate letters of credit, surety bonding and/or other customary credit enhancements could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects and future revenue.


Our Credit Agreement imposes restrictions that limit our operating flexibility and may result in additional equity or debt financing, whichexpenses, and this credit agreement may not be available on attractive terms. Moreover,if financial covenants are violated or if an event of default occurs.

Our Credit Agreement provides a credit line of up to $1.0 billion, and expires in December 2016. It contains a number of covenants restricting, among other things, our ability to incur liens and indebtedness, sell assets, repurchase our equity shares and make certain types of investments. We are also subject to certain financial covenants, including maintenance of a maximum ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA and a minimum consolidated net worth.

Provisions in our charter documents, and Delaware law and our Credit Agreement may inhibit a takeover or impact operational control which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.


Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as Delaware corporate law, contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change of control or changes in our management that a stockholder might consider favorable. These provisions include, among others, a staggered board of directors, prohibiting stockholder action by written consent, advance notice for raising business or making nominations at meetings of stockholders, providing for the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for lawsuits concerning certain corporate matters and the issuance of preferred stock with rights that may be senior to those of our common stock without stockholder approval. Many of these provisions became effective following the exchange offer. These provisions would apply even if a takeover offer may be considered beneficial by some of our stockholders. If a change of control or change in management is delayed or prevented, the market price of our common stock could decline.

International and political events may adversely affect Additionally, our operations.

A significant portionCredit Agreement contains a default provision that is triggered upon a change in control of our revenue is derived from our foreign operations, which exposes us to risks inherent in doing business in each of the countries in which we transact business. The occurrence of any of the risks described below could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. With respect to any particular country, these risks may include:

expropriation and nationalization of our assets in that country;

political and economic instability;

civil unrest, acts of terrorism, force majeure, war, or other armed conflict;

currency fluctuations, devaluations, and conversion restrictions;

confiscatory taxation or other adverse tax policies;

governmental activities that limit or disrupt markets, restrict payments, or limit the movement of funds;

governmental activities that may result in the deprivation of contract rights; and

governmental activities that may result in the inability to obtain or retain licenses required for operation.

Due to the unsettled political conditions in many oil-producing countries and countries in which we provide governmental logistical support, our revenue and profits are subject to the adverse consequences of war, the effects of terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, currency controls, and governmental actions. Countries where we operate that have significant amounts of political risk include: Afghanistan, Algeria, Indonesia, Iraq, Nigeria, Russia, China, Egypt, Yemen and Saudi Arabia. In addition, military action or continued unrest in the Middle East could impact the supply and pricing for oil and gas, disrupt our operations in the region and elsewhere, and increase our costs for security worldwide.

We may have additional tax liabilities associated with our international operations.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions, many of which are developing countries. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes due to lack of clear and concise tax laws and regulations in certain developing jurisdictions. It is not unlikely that laws may be changed or clarified and such changes may adversely affect our tax provisions. Also, in the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination may be uncertain. We are regularly under audit by various tax authorities. Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of tax audits and related litigation could be materially different from that which is reflected in our financial statements.

We work in international locations where there are high security risks, which could result in harm to our employees and contractors or substantial costs.

Some of our services are performed in high-risk locations, such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Algeria, Egypt and Saudi Arabia where the country or location is suffering from political, social or economic issues, or war or civil unrest. In those locations where we have employees or operations, we may incur substantial costs to maintain the safety of our personnel. Despite these precautions, the safety of our personnel in these locations may continue to be at risk, and we have in the past and may in the future suffer the loss of employees and contractors.

least 25%.


We are subject to significant foreign exchange and currency risks that could adversely affect our operations, and our ability to reinvest earnings from operations, and ouroperations. Our ability to limitmitigate our foreign exchange risk through hedging transactions may be limited.


We generally attempt to denominate our contracts in U.S. Dollars or in the currencies of our costs. However, we do enter into contracts that subject us to currency risk exposure, primarily when our contract revenue is denominated in a currency different from the contract costs. A sizablesignificant portion of our consolidated revenue and consolidated operating expenses are in foreign currencies. As a result, we are subject to significant foreign currency risks, including:

foreign exchangeincluding risks resulting from changes in foreigncurrency exchange rates and the implementation of exchange controls; and

limitations on our ability to reinvest earnings from operations in one country to fund the capital needsfinancing requirements of our operations in other countries.

In particular, we


The governments of certain countries have or may conduct business in countries that have non-traded or “soft”the future impose restrictive exchange controls on local currencies which, because of their restricted or limited trading markets, may be difficult to exchange for “hard” currencies. The national governments in some of these countries are often not able to establish the exchange rates for the local currency. As a result,and it may not be possible for us to engage in effective hedging transactions to mitigate the risks associated with fluctuations of thea particular currency. We are often required to pay all or a portion of our costs associated with a project in the local soft currency. As a result, we generally attempt to negotiate contract terms with our customer, who is often affiliated with the local government, or has a significant local presence, to provide that we are only paid in the local currency infor amounts that match our local expenses. If we are unable to match our local currency costs with matching revenue in the local currency, we would be exposed to the risk of an adverse changechanges in currency exchange rates.

Our abilityexisting markets, both domestically and internationally, which may include the acquiring and merging of complementary businesses. To successfully fund and complete such potential acquisitions, we may issue additional equity securities that may result in dilution of our existing shareholder ownership's earnings per share.

We make equity investments in privately financed projects in which we could sustain significant losses.

We participate in privately financed projects that enable governments and other customers to hedgefinance large-scale projects, such as the acquisition and maintenance of major military equipment, capital projects and service purchases. These projects typically include the facilitation of nonrecourse financing, the design and construction of facilities and the provision of operation and maintenance services for an agreed-upon period after the facilities have been completed. We may incur contractually reimbursable costs and typically make investments prior to an entity achieving operational status or receiving project financing. If a project is unable to obtain financing, we could incur losses on our investments and any related contractual receivables. After completion of these projects, the return on our investments can be limited because pricing of hedging instruments, where they exist, is often volatile and not necessarily efficient.

Halliburton’s indemnity for matters relating to the Barracuda-Caratinga project only applies to the replacement of certain subsea bolts, and Halliburton’s actionsmarket factors, which may not be inunder our stockholders’ best interests.

Under the terms of our master separation agreement with our former parent Halliburton, Halliburton agreed to indemnify us for out-of-pocket cash costs and expenses, or cash settlements or cash arbitration awards in lieu thereof, we incur ascontrol. As a result, of the replacement of certain subsea flow-line bolts installedwe could sustain a loss on our equity investment in connection with the Barracuda-Caratinga project, which we refer to as “B-C Matters.” At our cost, we will control the defense, counterclaim and/or settlement with respect to B-C Matters, but Halliburton will have discretion to determine whether to agree to any settlement or other resolution of B-C Matters. We expect Halliburton will take actions that are in the best interests of its stockholders, which may or may not be in our or our stockholders’ best interests. Halliburton has the right to assume control over the defense, counterclaim and/or settlement of B-C Matters at any time. If Halliburton assumes control over the defense, counterclaim and/or settlement of B-C Matters, or refuses a settlement proposed by us, it could result in material and adverse consequences to us or our business that would not be subject to Halliburton’s indemnification. In addition, if Halliburton assumes control over the defense, counterclaim and/or settlement of B-C Matters, and we refuse a settlement proposed by Halliburton, Halliburton may terminate the indemnity. Also, if we materially breach our obligation to cooperate with Halliburton or we enter into a settlement of B-C Matters without Halliburton’s consent, Halliburton may terminate the indemnity.

We entered intostock. The authorization does not specify an agreement with an agent to conduct a designated portion of the repurchase program in accordance with Rules 10b-18 and 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Executive Overview


Business Environment

Reorganization


During the third quarter of 2013, we reorganized our business to better serve our customers, improve our organizational efficiency, increase sales and achieve future growth objectives. In order to attain these objectives, we separated our Hydrocarbons Markets.reportable segment into two separate reportable segments, Gas Monetization and Hydrocarbons, such that now we have a total of five reportable segments: Gas Monetization, Hydrocarbons, IGP, Services and Other. Each reportable segment, excluding Other, is led by a separate Segment President who reports directly to our CODM. We providehave revised our business segment reporting to represent how we currently manage our business and recast prior periods to conform to the current business segment presentation.

Overview of Financial Results

2013 compared to 2012

2013 net income attributable to KBR increased to $229 million from $144 million in 2012. We generated $290 million in operating cash flow in 2013 as compared to $142 million in 2012. The 2013 operating cash flow amount includes the one-time payment of $108 million in performance bonds relating to an ongoing dispute on a full rangelong completed project in Mexico that we believe will be recoverable in the future. See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of engineering, procurementthe performance bonds.

2013 financial performance was driven by our Gas Monetization business segment, which generated the highest revenue of $2.2 billion and construction services for largegross profit of $324 million during the year. This segment is currently executing two multi-billion dollar LNG projects in Australia which are expected to continue throughout 2014. We are nearing completion of a major GTL project in Nigeria and complex upstreaman LNG project in Algeria, which we expected to successfully close out. Although progress has been made in our negotiations, we have not signed any agreements and thus are not able to release certain remaining contingencies. Gas Monetization is actively pursuing new LNG prospects but is not expecting an EPC award on these prospects until 2015 or beyond.

The Hydrocarbons business segment also had a strong year in 2013 with revenues increasing 18% from 2012 to approximately $1.5 billion, led by an increase in the number of downstream projects including LNG and GTL facilities, onshore and offshore oil andsuch as ammonia plants for clients taking advantage of a relatively abundant supply of natural gas production facilities, industrial and other projects. We serve customers in the gas monetization, oil and gas, petrochemical, refining and chemical markets throughout the world. OurHowever, the mix of projects are generally long termhas trended toward more construction activities and as such the total gross profit for this segment was relatively flat in nature2013 when compared to 2012. We expect the global hydrocarbons markets to continue to improve in 2014 with energy demand driven by long-term global GDP growth.

The overall volume of business in our IGP business segment declined in 2013 with revenue declining to approximately $1.5 billion from $1.8 billion in 2012 as government expenditures and are impacted by factors including market conditions, financing arrangements, governmental approvalsinvestments in mining and environmental matters. Demandinfrastructure projects remain slow. However, IGP gross profit increased to $65 million in 2013 from $20 million in 2012 due to significant job losses on two projects in Indonesia in 2012 and an adverse ruling on a U.S. government contract, both of which were not repeated in 2013. We believe opportunities for our services dependsare growing with non-U.S. governments and with electric power generating companies investing in new natural gas-fired power generation plants in the U.S. and/or projects to improve air emissions at existing coal-fired power plants.

Our Services business segment had a strong year in 2013 with revenues increasing 28% to $2.1 billion primarily driven by construction activities on our customers’ capital expendituresoil sands-related projects in western Canada. Gross profit increased $106 million from 2012 due to the higher volume of business and the impact in 2012 from profit reversals and project losses. We expect western Canada to remain a strong market for our construction market sectors.

We have benefitedservices in recent years from increased capital expenditures from our petroleum2014.


As part of an effort to right size the company to match the expected workloads, we executed a reduction in force in the fourth quarter of 2013, and petrochemical customers driven by historically high crude oiltook an associated charge of approximately $10 million across the functions and natural gas pricesbusinesses. This charge is included in cost of revenues and general global economic expansion that occurred prior to mid-2008. We have indications thatand administrative expenses on the hydrocarbons market in most international regions has partially recovered from the worldwide economic recession and financial market condition.consolidated statement of income. We continue to see long term growthexamine our overhead and our expected revenue and workload and will continue to take measures in environmentally and economically driven energy projects and foran effort to appropriately size the organization as workloads vary going forward.

2012 compared to 2011

2012 net income attributable to KBR decreased to $144 million from $480 million in 2011.  This decline in performance was related licensed process technologies for offshore gas production, LNG, biofuels, motor fuels, chemicals and fertilizers. Feasibility studies and front-end engineering and design projects remain steady reflecting clients’ intentions to investthe December 2011 decline in capital intensive energy projects, albeit releasing and proceeding with projects in phases and conducting increased levels of economic analysis. For construction and maintenance in the United States, we see an improving market with a return of more material projects driven by low natural gas prices, improved refining utilization and increasing energy demands.

Infrastructure, Government and Power Markets (“IGP”).A significant portion of our IGP business segment’s current activities supports the United States’ and the United Kingdom’s government operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and in other parts of the Middle East region. These operations have resulted in one of the largest military deployments since World War II, which has caused a parallel increase in government spending. The logistics support services that KBR provides the U.S. military are delivered under our LogCAP III, LogCAP IV and other contracts which are competitively bid contracts. Revenues under the LogCAP III project were approximately $2.8 billion, $4.8 billion, and $5.5 billion for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. KBR is the only company providing services under the LogCAP III contract. Currently, the U.S. government is transitioning work from LogCAP III to LogCAP IV, which is a multiple award contract withcompletions or near completions on three contractors, including KBR, who can each bid and potentially win specific task orders. As troop deployments shift within the Middle East region, and as additional work is awarded under LogCAP IV, we have seen a decline in work under LogCAP III and we expect this decline will continue. We expect the U.K. military will remain engagedsignificant projects in the region, although their presence has shifted from Iraq to Afghanistan.

We operateGas Monetization segment, project losses in diverse civil infrastructure markets, including transportation, waterthe IGP and waste treatmentServices business segments, and facilities maintenance. In addition to U.S. state, local and federal agencies, we provide these services to governments around the world including the U.K., Australia and the Middle East. In Australia, we also provide related services to the global mining industry. There has been a general trend of historic under-investment$178 million charge in infrastructure, particularly2012 related to the qualityimpairment of water, wastewater, roadsa portion of the goodwill from our acquisition of R&S in 2010. Partially offsetting these items were new awards and transit, airports, and educational facilities which has historically declined while demand for expanded and improved infrastructure has historically outpaced funding. We have seen increased activity related to these types of projects, however, the global economic recession has caused markets to remainin several market segments.


Gas Monetization revenue was flat in America2012 compared to 2011; however, gross profit increased $168 million as a result of incentive awards, increased activity and the U.K., which has resultedadditional change orders on our largest LNG projects in delays or slow start-upsAlgeria and in Australia.

The Hydrocarbons business segment had a strong year in 2012 with revenues up slightly compared to major projects. Stimulus spending2011 and a general economic recovery should result in increased opportunities in the future across all sectors.

In the industrial sector, we operate in a number of markets, including forest products, advanced manufacturing, minerals and metals and consumer products, primarily with a domestic focus but with our international opportunities increasing. Forest products, advanced manufacturing and consumer products are experiencing modest market improvements while the minerals and metals markets aregross profit increasing 15% from $161 million to $185 million driven by global demand for commodities. In the power sector, we serve regulated utilities, power cooperatives, municipalities and various non-regulated providers, primarily in the U.S. and U.K. markets. The power sector continues to be driven by long-term economic and demographic trends and changes in environmental regulations. Projects in the power sector are currently concentrated in emissions control, repowering, renewable power and new gas-fired power generation.

We provide a wide range of construction and maintenance services to a variety of industries in the U.S. and Canada, including forest products, power, commercial and institutional buildings, general industrial and manufacturing. We continued to see an increase in bid requests and feasibility estimates from our clients and expect athe number of our marketslong-term technical service and engineering projects, recognition of license fee renewals, increased progress on existing projects primarily located in the U.S., the North Sea and Azerbaijan, as well as recognition of amounts related to strengthen in 2011.

Summarythe settlement of Consolidated Results

2010 compared to 2009

Consolidated revenue in 2010 decreased approximately $2 billion, or 17%, to $10.1 billion compared to $12.1 billion in 2009 primarily driven by decreases in our IGP and Services segments. The decrease in the Fina Antwerp Olefins ("FAO") claim.


IGP business segment revenue includesdeclined by $1.4 billion in 2012, or 43%, compared to 2011 and gross profit decreased by $181 million due primarily to the completion of operations in Iraq with the U.S. government, reduced activity due to a $1.9 billion declinemarket slowdown and reduced investment in our NAGD business unit resultingAsia Pacific ("APAC") region, additional project costs and liquidated damages related to two projects in Indonesia associated with our acquisition of R&S, and an unfavorable ruling from an overall reduction in volume for U.S. military support activities primarily in Iraq under our LogCAP III contract. In 2010, the total number of staff working on the LogCAP III project decreased by approximately 56% including direct hires, subcontractors and local hires. Additionally, the U.S. Army has transitioned workCourt of Federal Claims ("COFC") regarding costs associated with dining facility services. Offsetting these declines were increases in Kuwait and Afghanistanactivity from new awards in certain sectors, a shift from the LogCAP III contract to the LogCAP IV contract. Although we have been awarded task orders undercontract supporting the LogCAP IV contract primarilyU.S. Department of State in Iraq, we expect our overall volume of work to continue to decreasenew projects in the region. Also contributingpower sector related to the decline in IGP revenue in 2010 were revenue decreases in the I&Mair emissions controls systems, coal gasification projects and P&I business units largely as a result of the completion of fieldworkwaste-to-energy expansion project, and increased activity on certain projects in early 2010the Middle East.

Our Services business segment revenues were almost flat in 2012 compared to 2011. However, gross profit was $80 million lower in 2012 than in 2011 due to increased estimated costs to complete several U.S. construction fixed-price projects and declining workload from other projects nearing completion. Partially offsetting these declines in revenue was an increase in revenuethe overall decline in our IGD business unit primarily related to the ongoing presence of troopsU.S. construction business. The higher costs on these fixed-price projects resulted in Afghanistan where we provide contingency logistics, operations and maintenance and other services to the U.K. MoD and NATO. The Services segment also experienced a decline$75 million in revenue for 2010 primarily due to the completion several projects or projects being near completion. Revenueproject loss provisions in our Hydrocarbons business segment2012. Offsetting these losses was increased slightly overall primarilyincome from significant new awards in Canada driven by the Gas Monetization business unit and our Downstream business unit.

Consolidated operating incomeconstruction activities on oil sands-related projects in 2010 increased approximately $73 million, or 14%, to $609 million compared to $536 million in 2009. Job income for 2010 from the IGP business segment was up approximately $84 million primarily from our NAGD business unit which increased by $117 million. In 2009, we recognized a net charge of $65 million related to the write-off of award fees previously accrued on the LogCAP III contract that did not recur in 2010. In 2010, we recognized job income related to LogCAP III award fees of $94 million for periods of performance from May 2008 through May 2010 which were awarded to us in the second and third quarters of 2010. Partially offsetting the increase related to award fees was lower volume of activity on the LogCAP III contract as a result of the overall reduction in volume of U.S. military support activities primarily in Iraq and higher charges for potentially unallowable costs. Our Hydrocarbons job income decreased by approximately $64 million largely due to the EPC 1 favorable arbitration award recognized in 2009 that did not recur in 2010 partially offset by increases in job income in our Gas Monetization and Downstream business units.

2009 compared to 2008

Consolidated revenue in 2009 increased approximately $524 million, or 5%, to $12.1 billion compared to $11.6 billion in 2008. The primary drivers of this increase were from our Hydrocarbons and Services segments. In the Hydrocarbons business segment, the Gas Monetization business unit revenue grew $599 million in 2009, or 28%, largely as a result of several cost reimbursable LNG and GTL projects. Although the worldwide economic recession and disrupted financial market conditions in 2009 continued to impact our customers in the hydrocarbons market, most of our ongoing LNG and GTL projects were under development and awarded prior to mid-2008 and continued to have a positive impact on Gas Monetization revenue growth and backlog. Our Services segment revenue increased $675 million in 2009, or 57%, primarily as a result of our July 1, 2008 acquisition of BE&K, an Alabama-based engineering, construction and maintenance services company that has greatly increased our presence in the North American engineering and construction markets. Revenue from our IGP business segment was down approximately $835 million, or 12%, primarily due to decreases in the NAGD and IGD business units which were down a combined $971 million in 2009, or 15%, compared to 2008. The majority of this decrease is due to our NAGD business unit where U.S. military troop level reductions in Iraq resulted in a significant impact to our staffing levels on the LogCAP III contract. In 2009, the total number of staff working on the LogCAP III project decreased by approximately 17% including direct hires, subcontractors and local hires. Also contributing to the decline in the IGP revenue in 2009 was the IGD business unit due to reduced levels of activities for the U.K. military in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as a number of engineering projects completed during the year.

Consolidated operating income in 2009 decreased approximately $5 million, or 1%, to $536 million compared to $541 million in 2008. Job income for 2009 from our IGP business segment was down approximately $168 million in 2009 mainly as a result of the $130 million reduction in our award fee income as compared to the prior year and lower volume of activity on our LogCAP III contract. IGP business segment overheads increased $32 million, or 27%, primarily due to lower recoverability of certain costs as a result of decreased activity as well as higher bid and proposal expenses. Additionally, the

Services segment overheads increased $32 million, or 82%, due to the additional overhead resulting from the BE&K acquisition on July 1, 2008. Income in 2009 from our Hydrocarbons business segment increased by approximately $133 million, or 94%, primarily due to the favorable arbitration award on the EPC 1 project performed for PEMEX in our Oil and Gas business unit which resulted in $183 million of job income for 2009 and was partially offset by decreases in profit on other projects.

We analyze the financial results for each of our five business segments. The business segments presented are consistent with our reportable segments discussed in Note

On2 to our consolidated financial statements. While certain business segments below do not meet the criteria for reportable segments in accordance with ASC 280 - Segment Reporting, we believe this supplemental information is relevant and meaningful to our investors.


For the year ended December 21, 2010,31, 2013, we reclassified equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates from revenues to a separate component of operating income on our consolidated statement of income. We reclassified the 2012 and 2011 amounts to conform to our revised presentation. For purposes of reviewing the results of operations, "gross profit" is calculated as business segment revenue less cost of revenue, which includes business segment overhead costs directly attributable to the business segment but excludes equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.

Gas Monetization

Gas Monetization revenue decreased by $851 million in 2013 compared to 2012, as a result of reduced volume on a GTL project in Nigeria and an LNG project in Algeria as these projects completed or neared completion. This decrease was partially offset by revenue of $71 million recorded in the third quarter of 2013 resulting from a change order on an LNG project in Australia, higher activity and growth on a second LNG project in Australia as a result of the project advancing to the EPC phase and increased activity on a number of FEED projects.

Gas Monetization gross profit decreased by $57 million in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily as a result of lower activity, cost savings realized in the prior period with no corresponding cost savings realized in the current period, as well as the correction of an error originating in periods prior to 2013 of approximately $25 million. The correction of this error combined with current year foreign currency effects resulted in a net unfavorable impact to gross profit of $22 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The correction of the error was related to foreign currency accounting that resulted from activity over the course of the project. The decline in gross profit was also driven by $20 million of other project charges due to delays in project start-up, tax assessments and project execution costs as well as a $7 million proposed settlement with the African Development Bank on another project. The decrease in gross profit was partially offset by $71 million of additional gross profit from the change order recorded in the third quarter of 2013 related to the Australian LNG project.

Gas Monetization revenue decreased by $11 million in 2012 compared to 2011, primarily driven by lower volume of work associated with near-completion on the GTL project in Nigeria and the completion of another GTL project in Qatar, as well as the FEED phase of one of the Australian LNG projects. The decrease in 2012 revenues was offset by increased activity and schedule incentive awards on the LNG project in Australia and the start of the EPC phase of the other LNG project in Australia.

Gas Monetization gross profit increased by $168 million in 2012 compared to 2011, as a result of increased activity on our three LNG projects.  The increased activity was related to change orders which revised the estimated cost-to-complete for the Algerian LNG project, as well as schedule awards for the Australian LNG project. Partially offsetting these increases was a reduction in gross profit of $47 million primarily due to near-completion on the GTL project in Nigeria and the completion of the GTL project in Qatar in 2011.

Gas Monetization equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, increased by $22 million in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to increased activity and overall project growth on the other LNG project in Australia.

Hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons revenue increased $222 million and gross profit decreased $8 million in 2013 compared to 2012. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in large EPC contracts for downstream ammonia, urea and ethylene projects utilizing natural gas feedstock in North America, progress on an ethylene project in Uzbekistan and a services project in Azerbaijan. The mix of revenue between EPC projects with generally lower margins as a percentage of revenue compared with services projects contributed to the decline in gross profit, as well as the recognition of a $14 million increase in gross profit in 2012 from the FAO settlement. The higher revenue in 2013 was partially offset by completion of a floating production storage and offloading (“FPSO”) project in the North Sea and several engineering and technical services projects.

Hydrocarbons revenue increased $50 million and gross profit increased by $24 million in 2012 compared to 2011. These increases were primarily due to the progress achieved on license and engineering projects in various geographic locations. We also recognized an additional $20 million in revenue related to the FAO claim settlement which resulted in a $14 million increase in gross profit. These increases were partially offset by the completion or near-completion of several long-term projects in late 2012.

Infrastructure, Government and Power

IGP revenue decreased $313 million in 2013 compared to 2012 driven by base closures and headcount reductions under the contract supporting the U.S. Military and the U.S. Department of State in Iraq. As the U.S. government continues its withdrawal from Iraq, the volume of support services also continues to decline. There was also reduced activity related to commercial support services in Africa, reduced activity on a major contract for the U.K. Ministry of Defence (“MoD”), and completion of a portion of U.K. MoD contracts in Afghanistan. Our infrastructure and minerals market offerings were affected by the continuing slow market conditions in the APAC region, and also from reduced government and private sector investments. These decreases were partially offset by new awards and activity on waste-to-energy expansion projects and on an air-quality project in the U.S.


29



IGP gross profit increased $45 million in 2013 compared to 2012, as a result of provisions taken in 2012 of $72 million from cost overruns and liquidated damages mainly on two projects in Indonesia. Additionally, project charges of $28 million related to the unfavorable U.S. government ruling associated with dining facility services in Iraq and $8 million of liquidated damages recorded for a project in Indonesia in 2012 that did not recur in 2013. Gross profit in 2013 includes the reversal of $25 million of reserves due to the progress of audits, offset by declines related to the continuing challenging market conditions in the APAC region, reduced activity in the Middle East under the LogCAP IV contract, the completion and ramp down of existing projects in Africa and Afghanistan, and cost overruns on a large fixed-price power project in the U.S.

IGP revenue decreased $1.4 billion in 2012 compared to 2011. This decline was primarily driven by the $1.5 billion decline related to the completion of operations in Iraq under the U.S. Army contract in December 2011. In 2012, our services in the region shifted to our contract supporting the U.S. Department of State in Iraq. These decreases were partially offset by $130 million of new projects awarded in 2012 and increased progress on existing projects awarded during late 2011 in our power and industrial sector. New projects included air emissions controls systems in Illinois and Kentucky, and we saw existing project growth from a coal-gasification project in Mississippi and a waste-to-energy expansion project in Florida. There was also increased activity related to support services in Africa and a NATO contract in Afghanistan and increased activity in the Middle East associated with the expansion of the Doha Expressway program.

IGP gross profit decreased by $181 million in 2012 compared to 2011, primarily due to the completion of services under the U.S. Army contract for work in Iraq. The decrease also includes the unfavorable ruling from the U.S. COFC which resulted in a noncash, pre-tax charge of $28 million, lower minerals sector gross profit of $54 million due to increased operating costs, funding of liquidated damages and other items on various projects legacy charges related to R&S acquisition related projects in Indonesia. Our industrial sector experienced a $15 million decline in gross profit, driven by lower activity on a U.K. MoD project in the U.K. and reduced margins on a U.K. MoD contract in Afghanistan. Gross profit related to the two Indonesian projects declined $38 million as a result of additional project costs and liquidated damages. Gross profit in 2012 was further reduced due to increased costs, liquidated damages and technical delays mainly on the legacy R&S projects and due to a decline in market conditions in the APAC region.

The change in equity in earnings in unconsolidated affiliates, for IGP is primarily due to the U.K. MoD project in the U.K. slowly nearing completion.

In the third quarter of 2012, during the course of our annual strategic planning process, we identified a deterioration in the economic conditions of the minerals markets as well as less than expected actual and projected income and cash flows due to lower project bookings and losses from ongoing projects that were acquired as part of KBR’s acquisition of R&S. As a result of our interim goodwill impairment test, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $178 million in the third quarter of 2012.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, during the course of our annual goodwill impairment test, we determined that expected income and cash flows for one reporting unit in our IGP business segment was substantially lower than previous forecasts due to the continuing decline in market conditions in the APAC region in the minerals sector, which has resulted in delays in award of certain expected projects. However, the results of our annual goodwill impairment test indicated no impairment of the goodwill related to the reporting unit in our IGP business.

To arrive at the reporting unit's future cash flows, we used estimates of economic and market assumptions, including growth rates in revenues, costs and estimates of future expected changes in operating margins, tax rates and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. We will continue to monitor conditions in the market and its potential effects on the recoverability of the reporting unit assets. However, if market conditions materially change compared to our expectations, or if actual future new project awards fall below our projections, the goodwill could become impaired in the future.

In our intangible assets discussion in Note 8, we disclosed that we performed an undiscounted cash flow analysis due to the annual goodwill impairment test and did not identify any impairment of intangible assets. In addition, we evaluated the other long-term assets consisting mainly of property, plant and equipment and did not identify an impairment of those assets.

Services

Services revenue increased by $451 million to $2.1 billion and gross profit increased by $106 million to $57 million in 2013 as compared to 2012. These increases were broad-based, driven primarily by increases in the construction, fabrication and turnaround services in Canada, building and construction projects in the U.S. and global maintenance and specialty services projects. Gross profit was also higher due to project loss provisions of $75 million recorded on certain U.S. construction projects during 2012 that did not recur in 2013.

Services revenue increased by $36 million in 2012 compared to 2011. This increase was driven by a number of projects, including construction services for gas plants in Northern British Colombia, fabrication modules for oil sands-related projects in Canada, as well as building and construction projects in the U.S. such as a base oil facility and turnaround upgrades and rebuilds. These increases were partially offset by lower revenue on other projects, including the completion of several large hospital projects and a major turnaround project that were finished in 2011.

Services gross profit decreased by $80 million in 2012 compared to 2011, primarily related to project loss provisions of $75 million recorded on certain U.S. construction projects in 2012. The provisions taken were primarily related to lower productivity and higher wage rates, which gave rise to higher direct labor costs, indirect costs and other extension-of-time-related costs.

Services equity in earnings in unconsolidated affiliates, decreased from $33 million in 2012 to $13 million in 2013 due to extended dry dock and out of contract periods for MMM.  Services equity in earnings in unconsolidated affiliates increased from $26 million in 2011 to $33 million in 2012 primarily due to the dry dock of Semi 2 in 2011 for MMM.       

Other

Other revenue increased by $4 million and gross profit decreased by $1 million in 2013 compared to 2012. Included in Other is Ventures and other operations. Ventures operations consist of investments in joint ventures accounted for under the equity method of accounting, net of tax. Ventures revenue and gross profit decreased by $6 million and $7 million, respectively, in 2013 compared to 2012. This decrease was primarily driven by declines related to the ammonia plant in Egypt resulting from interruptions in natural gas feedstock supply which we began experiencing in late 2012, partially offset by the timing of maintenance expenditures on a project in the U.K. in 2013 and charges associated with hedging activities incurred during 2012 for the ammonia plant in Egypt that did not occur in 2013.

Ventures revenue decreased by $5 million while gross profit was unchanged in 2012 compared to 2011, due to a decline of $10 million on the ammonia plant in Egypt related to noncash hedge accounting adjustments, write-off of deferred losses related to the refinancing of the investment's debt, reduced productivity as a result of low gas feedstock pressure and plant closure for turnaround maintenance. This decline was partially offset by higher revenue and gross profit of $6 million achieved by other Ventures projects, primarily due to lower debt interest costs and lower maintenance costs.

Changes in Estimates

There are many factors, including, but not limited to, the ability to properly execute the engineering and designing phases consistent with our customers’ expectations, the availability and costs of labor and resources, productivity and weather that can affect the accuracy of our cost estimates, and ultimately, our future profitability. In the past, we have realized both lower and higher than expected margins and have incurred losses as a result of unforeseen changes in our project costs; however, historically, our estimates have been reasonably dependable regarding the recognition of revenue and profit on percentage of completion contracts. During 2013, we recognized revisions in estimates on an LNG project in Australia as a result of an approved change order and increases in estimated project hours which impacted our 2013 gross profit by $190 million.

Corporate, tax and other matters

Labor cost absorption not allocated to our business segments represents costs incurred by our central labor and resource departments net of the amounts charged to the business segments. Labor cost under-absorption was $57 million in 2013 compared to under-absorption of $35 million in 2012 and an over-absorption of $18 million in 2011. The increase in labor cost absorption not allocated to our business segments of $22 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to reduced volumes of contract hours and resource utilization in several of our engineering offices as a result of delays in awards of certain expected projects as well as $5 million related to closure costs in one of our non-core offices. The 2012 labor cost absorption difference of $53 million compared to an over-absorption in 2011 was primarily due to lower chargeable hours and utilization in several of our engineering offices as a result of delays in awards of certain expected projects.

General and administrative expense was $249 million in 2013, $222 million in 2012 and $214 million in 2011. The increase in 2013 was primarily due to higher ERP project expenses of $21 million, consulting and legal expenses related to tax items, including arbitration with our former parent and charges in our risk and benefit programs. These increases were partially offset by lower incentive compensation costs in 2013. The increase in general and administrative expense in 2012 was primarily due to ERP project expenses, higher pension costs driven by unfavorable changes in assumptions that impacted 2012 expense and charges in our risk and benefit programs. The increases were partially offset by lower information technology support costs, lower legal costs and reductions associated with other cost containment measures.

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $5 million, $7 million and $18 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The 2013 reduction in interest expense, net of interest income, compared to 2012 is primarily due to higher interest income in 2013 on our treasury-managed time deposits. Interest expense was substantially the same in 2013 and 2012. The 2012 reduction in expense compared to 2011 was primarily associated with favorable terms of the new Credit Agreement. Interest income was substantially the same in 2012 and 2011.

We had net foreign currency gains of less than $1 million in 2013, losses of $2 million in 2012 and gains of $3 million in 2011. Foreign currency losses in 2012 were primarily due to the fluctuating Euro and currencies with limited hedge markets such as the Algerian Dinar. Foreign currency gains in 2011 were primarily due to the weakening U.S. Dollar against most major currencies. Some of these positions were not fully hedged.

Our effective tax rate on pretax earnings was 29.4%, 29.9% and 5.6% for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The U.S. statutory tax rate for all years was 35%. Our effective tax rate includes a charge of $38 million as a result of an unfavorable ruling with respect to our tax dispute with our former parent Halliburton. Our adjusted effective tax rate excluding discrete items was approximately 23% for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our adjusted effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate due to favorable tax rate differentials on foreign earnings, lower tax expense on foreign income from unconsolidated joint ventures and tax benefits from unincorporated joint ventures. In 2013, we recognized discrete net tax expense of approximately $30 million, which included a charge of $38 million as a result of the unfavorable ruling described above, partially offset by benefits related to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions in prior years, primarily as a result of the resolution of transfer pricing issues involving our U.K. subsidiaries. Included in the discrete net tax expense is a charge for valuation allowances. We are relying on a forecast of future taxable income in making our determination regarding the need for a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and foreign tax credits. In the event our future taxable income is less than the forecasted amount, an additional valuation allowance may need to be recorded in the future. Provision for income taxes was $136 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Our effective tax rate, excluding discrete items was approximately 29.9% for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the third quarter of 2012, we recorded a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $178 million in our IGP business segment, which is not deductible for U.S. taxes. Excluding the nondeductible goodwill impairment charge and discrete items, our adjusted effective tax rate was 29.1% for year ended December 31, 2012. The adjusted effective tax rate includes increases of 3.9% as a result of incremental income taxes on certain undistributed foreign earnings in Australia that were previously deemed to be permanently reinvested. Our adjusted effective tax rate excluding discrete items for 2012 was lower than our statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to favorable tax rate differentials on foreign earnings and lower tax expense on foreign income from unincorporated joint ventures. In 2012, we also recognized discrete net tax benefits of approximately $50 million, including benefits primarily related to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken in prior years due to progress in resolving transfer pricing matters with certain taxing jurisdictions, statute expirations on certain domestic tax matters and other reductions to foreign tax exposures, tax benefits associated with the interest on an adverse arbitration award associated with the Barracuda-Caratinga project in Brazil, as well as discrete tax benefits related to deductions arising from an unconsolidated joint venture in Australia. Provision for income taxes was $86 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.


33



Our effective tax rate excluding discrete items was approximately 29.3% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate due to favorable tax rate differentials on foreign earnings and lower tax expense on foreign income from unincorporated joint ventures. In 2011, we recognized discrete tax benefits including a $69 million tax benefit related to the arbitration award related to the Barracuda-Caratinga project as well as $32 million in tax benefits due to the reduction of deferred tax liabilities associated with the pending liquidation of an unconsolidated joint venture in Australia, resulting in a net effective tax rate of approximately 5.6%. In September 2011, an arbitration panel in the Barracuda-Caratinga arbitration awarded Petrobras $193 million, which will be deductible for tax purposes, and for which we are indemnified by our former parent, Halliburton. The indemnification payment from Halliburton to KBR will be treated by KBR for tax purposes as a contribution to capital and accordingly is not taxable income. Consequently, the arbitration ruling resulted in a tax benefit during 2011. In addition, we recognized other discrete tax benefits in 2011 totaling $34 million primarily from favorable return to accrual adjustments, I.R.S. audit adjustments and the execution of tax planning strategies. Provision for income taxes was $32 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $98 million, $58 million and $60 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in 2013 from 2012 primarily resulted from additional income of $50 million attributable to noncontrolling interests as a result of the change order executed on an LNG project on Barrow Island in Australia. The slight decrease in 2012 from 2011 resulted from lower earnings on projects that were completed or nearing completion on our consolidated joint ventures.

Acquisitions and Other Transactions

Information relating to various acquisitions and other transactions is described in "Item 1. Business" and in Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.

Backlog of Unfilled Orders

Backlog generally represents the dollar amount of revenue and our pro-rata share of work to be performed by unconsolidated joint ventures we expect to realize in the future as a result of performing work on contracts. We generally include total expected revenue in backlog when a contract is awarded under a legally binding commitment. In many instances, arrangements included in backlog are complex, nonrepetitive in nature and may fluctuate depending on estimated revenue and contract duration. Where contract duration is indefinite, projects included in backlog are limited to the estimated amount of expected revenue within the following twelve months. Certain contracts provide maximum dollar limits, with actual authorization to perform work under the contract agreed upon on a periodic basis with the customer. In these arrangements, only the amounts authorized are included in backlog. For projects where we act solely in a project management capacity, we only include the value of our services of each project in backlog. For certain long-term service contracts with a defined contract term, such as those associated with privately financed projects, the amount included in backlog is limited to five years.

We have included in the table below our proportionate share of unconsolidated joint ventures estimated revenue in backlog. However, because these projects are accounted for under the equity method, only our share of future earnings from these projects will be recorded in our results of operations. Our backlog for projects related to unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $5.5 billion at December 31, 2013 and $5.8 billion at December 31, 2012. We consolidate joint ventures which are majority-owned and controlled or are variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. Our backlog included in the table below for projects related to consolidated joint ventures with noncontrolling interests includes 100% of the backlog associated with those joint ventures and totaled $1.4 billion at December 31, 2013 and $2.1 billion at December 31, 2012. All backlog is attributable to firm orders as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Backlog attributable to unfunded government orders was $166 million at December 31, 2013 and $236 million at December 31, 2012. The following table summarizes our backlog by business segment.

We estimate that as of December 31, 2013, 49% of our backlog will be executed within one year. As of December 31, 2013, 43% of our backlog was attributable to fixed-price contracts and 57% of our backlog was attributable to cost-reimbursable contracts. For contracts that contain both fixed-price and cost-reimbursable components, we classify the components as either fixed-price or cost-reimbursable according to the composition of the contract; however, except for smaller contracts, we characterize the entire contract based on the predominant component.

Gas Monetization backlog decreased $1.6 billion primarily due to work performed on existing projects, specifically the large GTL and LNG projects in Nigeria and Algeria. We expect Gas Monetization backlog to continue to decline in 2014 as no major EPC awards are forecasted until 2015. Hydrocarbons backlog increased $1.3 billion primarily due to new awards for downstream projects such as ammonia plants. IGP backlog decreased by $727 million primarily as a result of work performed on existing projects and the continued level of reduced U.S. government spending and investments in mining projects. Services backlog increased$519 million due to new awards of $2.6 billion primarily in maintenance and specialty services, partially offset by work performed of $2.1 billion on various construction projects in the U.S. and Canada.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and equivalents totaled $1.1 billion at December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively, as follows:

 December 31,
Millions of dollars2013 2012
Domestic U.S. cash$355
 $242
International cash675
 610
Joint venture cash69
 201
Total$1,099
 $1,053

Domestic cash relates to cash balances held by U.S. entities and is largely used to support obligations of those businesses as well as general corporate needs such as implementation of our new ERP systems, the payment of dividends to shareholders and potential repurchases of our outstanding common sharesstock.

Joint venture cash balances reflect the amounts held by joint venture entities that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes. Such amounts are limited to joint venture activities and are not readily available for general corporate purposes but portions of ENI Holdings, Inc. (“ENI”). ENI issuch amounts may become available to us in the parentfuture should there be distribution of dividends to the Roberts & Schaefer Company (“R&S”)joint venture partners. We expect that the majority of the joint venture cash balances will be utilized for the corresponding joint venture projects.

The international cash balances may be available for general corporate purposes but are subject to local restrictions such as capital adequacy requirements and local obligations such as the funding of our underfunded U.K. pension plan and other obligations incurred in the normal course of business by those foreign entities. Additionally, repatriated foreign cash may become subject to U.S. income taxes.

Cash generated from operations is our primary source of operating liquidity. Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world. We believe that existing cash balances and internally generated cash flows are sufficient to support our day-to-day domestic and foreign business operations for at least the next 12 months.

We generally do not provide U.S. federal and state income taxes on the accumulated but undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries except for certain entities in Mexico and certain other joint ventures, as well as for approximately 50% of our earnings from our operations in Australia.  Taxes are provided as necessary with respect to earnings that are considered not permanently reinvested. We will continue to provide for U.S. federal and state taxes on 50% of the earnings of our Australian operations as we no longer intend to permanently reinvest these amounts. In determining whether earnings would be considered permanently invested, we considered future non-U.S. cash needs such as, 1) our anticipated foreign working capital requirements, including funding of our U.K. pension plan; 2) the expected growth opportunities across all geographical markets and; 3) our plans to invest in strategic growth opportunities that may include acquisitions around the world. For all other non-U.S. subsidiaries, no U.S. taxes are provided because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely to finance foreign activities. As of December 31, 2013, a privatelyforeign cash and equivalents on which U.S. income taxes have not been recognized, excluding cash held EPC services company for material handlingby consolidated joint ventures, is estimated to be approximately $554 million of the $675 million of the total international cash referenced in the table above. We have estimated the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. tax liability to be approximately $91 million, which includes the effects of foreign tax credits associated with the deferred income to reduce the U.S. tax liabilities.

Our operating cash flow can vary significantly from year to year and processing systems. Headquarteredis affected by the mix, terms and percentage of completion of our engineering and construction projects. We sometimes receive cash through billings to our customers on our larger engineering and construction projects and those of our consolidated joint ventures in Chicago, Illinois, R&S provides servicesadvance of incurring the related costs. In other projects our net investment in the project costs may be greater than available project cash and associated material handling infrastructurewe may utilize other cash on hand or availability under our Credit Agreement to satisfy any periodic operating cash requirements.

Engineering and construction projects generally require us to provide credit support to our customers in the miningform of letters of credit, surety bonds or guarantees. Our ability to obtain new project awards in the future may be dependent on our ability to maintain or increase our letter of credit and minerals, power, industrial, refining, aggregates, precioussurety bonding capacity, which may be further dependent on the timely release of existing letters of credit and base metals industries. The purchase pricesurety bonds. As the need for credit support arises, letters of credit will be issued under our Credit Agreement or arranged with our banks on a bilateral, syndicated or other basis. We believe we have adequate letter of credit capacity under our existing Credit Agreement and bilateral lines, as well as adequate surety bond capacity under our existing lines to support our operations and current backlog for the next twelve months.

Our excess cash is generally invested in either time deposits with commercial banks or money market funds governed under rule 2a-7 of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940 and rated AAA by Standard & Poor’s or Aaa by Moody’s Investors Service. As of December 31, 2013, substantially all of our excess cash was $280held in commercial bank time deposits with the primary objectives of preserving capital and maintaining liquidity.

AcquisitionCash provided by operations totaled $142 million in 2012 and resulted from our earnings, adjusted for items to reconcile to net income, of remaining$317 million and distributions of earnings received from unconsolidated affiliates, including repayment of advances to unconsolidated affiliates of $102 million, partially offset by working capital uses related to our business with the U.S. government and the Gas Monetization and Services business segments.

Cash provided by operations totaled $650 million in 2011, driven primarily by strong earnings and collections of advances and distributions from unconsolidated affiliates of $196 million. Operating cash flow was primarily driven by the timing of working capital requirements on several large projects. Cash remitted for income taxes, net of refunds, was $201 million. In addition, we contributed $74 million to our pension plans, including a lump sum contribution of $40 million which had been previously agreed with the trustees of our international U.K. plans. Cash held by consolidated joint ventures increased by $99 million.

Investing activities. Cash used in investing activities totaled $62 million in 2013, which was primarily due to purchases of property, plant and equipment associated with information technology projects.

Cash provided by investing activities totaled $52 million in 2012 which was primarily due to proceeds of $127 million from the sale of our interest in M.W. Kellogg Limited.the 601 Jefferson building and the Clinton Drive campus facility. These proceeds were offset by capital expenditures of $75 million associated with information technology projects and leasehold and facility improvements.


Cash used in investing activities totaled $88 million for 2011 which was primarily due to capital expenditures of $83 million largely related to information technology projects and leasehold improvements. Additionally, we made investments totaling $11 million in an equity method joint venture associated with the lease of our corporate headquarters and received proceeds of $6 million from the sale of an investment.

Financing activities. Cash used in financing activities totaled $148 million in 2013 and included $7 million for the purchase of treasury stock, $36 million for dividend payments to common shareholders, $108 million for distributions to noncontrolling interests and $14 million for principal payments on short- and long-term borrowings consisting primarily of nonrecourse debt of our Fasttrax variable interest entity ("VIE") and computer software purchases financed in 2010. The uses of cash were partially offset by $9 million of investments from noncontrolling interests and $6 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Cash used in financing activities totaled $116 million in 2012 and included $40 million for the purchase of treasury stock, $37 million for dividend payments to common shareholders, $36 million for distributions to noncontrolling interests and $14 million for principal payments on short- and long-term borrowings consisting primarily of nonrecourse debt of our Fasttrax VIE and computer software purchases financed in 2010. The uses of cash were partially offset by $11 million of tax benefits associated with stock exercises and proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Cash used in financing activities totaled $377 million in 2011 and included $178 million of payments to acquire the noncontrolling interest in MWKL, $118 million of payments to purchase 4 million shares of treasury stock, $63 million for distributions to noncontrolling interests, $30 million for dividend payments to common shareholders and $15 million for principal payments on short- and long-term borrowings consisting primarily of nonrecourse debt of our Fasttrax VIE and computer software purchases financed in 2010. These payments were partially offset by a return of cash of $17 million used to collateralize standby letters of credit.

Future sources of cash. Future sources of cash include cash flows from operations, including cash advances from our clients, cash derived from working capital management and cash borrowings under our Credit Agreement as well as potential litigation proceeds.

Future uses of cash. Future uses of cash will primarily relate to working capital requirements, including any payments on the Halliburton award, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases and strategic investments. In addition, we will use cash to fund pension obligations, payments under operating leases and various other obligations, including potential litigation payments, as they arise. Our capital expenditures will be focused primarily on information technology, real estate, facilities and equipment. See “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” below for a schedule of contractual obligations and other long-term liabilities that will require the use of cash.

Credit Agreement

On December 31, 2010,2, 2011, we obtained controlentered into a $1 billion, five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of international banks. The Credit Agreement is available for cash borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit related to general corporate needs.  The Credit Agreement expires in December 2016; however, given that projects generally require letters of credit that extend beyond one year in length, we will likely need to enter into a new or amended credit agreement no later than 2015. Amounts drawn under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at variable rates, per annum, based either on (1) the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 1.75%, or (2) a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.50% to 0.75%, with the base rate equal to the highest of (a) reference bank’s publicly announced base rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or (c) LIBOR plus 1%. The amount of the remaining 44.94% interestapplicable margin to be applied will be determined by our ratio of our MWKL subsidiary locatedconsolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four fiscal quarters, as defined in the U.KCredit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for fees on letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement at a rate equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR-based loans, except for performance letters of credit, which are priced at 50% of such applicable margin. We pay an issuance fee of 0.15% of the face amount of a letter of credit. We also pay a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on any unused portion of the commitment under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2013, there were $226 million in letters of credit and no cash borrowings outstanding.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including financial covenants requiring maintenance of a ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA not greater than 3.5 to 1 and a minimum consolidated net worth of $2 billion plus 50% of consolidated net income for each quarter beginning December 31, 2011 and 100% of any increase in shareholders’ equity attributable to the sale of equity interests. At December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with our financial covenants.

The Credit Agreement contains a number of other covenants restricting, among other things, our ability to incur additional liens and indebtedness, enter into asset sales, repurchase our equity shares and make certain types of investments. Our subsidiaries are restricted from incurring indebtedness, except if such indebtedness relates to purchase money obligations, capitalized leases, refinancing or renewals secured by liens upon or in property acquired, constructed or improved in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200 million at any time outstanding. Additionally, our subsidiaries may incur unsecured indebtedness not to exceed $200 million in aggregate outstanding principal amount at any time. We are also permitted to repurchase our equity shares,

provided that no such repurchases shall be made from proceeds borrowed under the Credit Agreement, and that the aggregate purchase price and dividends paid after December 2, 2011, does not exceed the Distribution Cap (equal to the sum of $750 million plus the lesser of (1) $400 million and (2) the amount received by us in connection with the arbitration and subsequent litigation of the PEP contracts as discussed in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements). At December 31, 2013, the remaining availability under the Distribution Cap was approximately $165$619 million subject.

Nonrecourse Project Finance Debt

Fasttrax Limited, a joint venture in which we indirectly own a 50% equity interest with an unrelated partner, was awarded a concession contract in 2001 with the U.K. MoD to certain post-closing adjustmentsprovide a Heavy Equipment Transporter Service to be determined during the first quarter of 2011.British Army. Under the terms of the arrangement, Fasttrax Limited operates and maintains 92 heavy equipment transporters ("HETs") for a term of 22 years. The purchase agreement,of the $165HETs by the joint venture was financed through a series of bonds secured by the assets of Fasttrax Limited totaling approximately £84.9 million (£107 million) initial purchase price(approximately $120 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction) and a bridge loan totaling approximately £12.2 million (approximately $17 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction) which are nonrecourse to KBR and its partner. The bridge loan was paidreplaced when the shareholders funded combined equity and subordinated debt in 2005. The secured bonds are an obligation of Fasttrax Limited and are not a debt obligation of KBR because they are nonrecourse to the joint venture partners. Accordingly, in the event of a default on January 5, 2011the term loan, the lenders may only look to the resources of Fasttrax Limited for repayment.

The guaranteed secured bonds were issued in two classes consisting of Class A 3.5% Index Linked Bonds in the amount of £56 million (approximately $79 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction) and recordedClass B 5.9% Fixed Rate Bonds in the amount of £16.7 million (approximately $24 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction).  Principal payments on both classes of bonds commenced in March 2005 and are due in semi-annual installments over the term of the bonds, which mature in 2021.  Subordinated notes payable to each of the 50% partners initially bear interest at 11.25% and increase to 16% over the term of the notes through 2025.  For financial reporting purposes, only our partner’s portion of the subordinated notes appears in the consolidated financial statements. Payments on the subordinated debt commenced in March 2006 and are due in semi-annual installments over the term of the notes.

The combined principal installments for both classes of bonds and subordinated notes, including inflation-adjusted bond indexation, over the next five years and beyond as “Obligationof December 31, 2013 are included in the commitments and contractual obligations table in the following section. See Note 9 for further discussion on equity method investments and variable interest entities and see Note 11 for further discussion on this debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees. In connection with certain projects, we are required to former noncontrolling shareholder”provide letters of credit, surety bonds or guarantees to our customers. Letters of credit are provided to certain customers and counterparties in the ordinary course of business as credit support for contractual performance guarantees, advanced payments received from customers and future funding commitments. We have approximately $2.2 billion in committed and uncommitted lines of credit to support the issuance of letters of credit and, as of December 31, 2013, we have utilized $687 million of our consolidated balance sheet. In addition,present capacity under lines of credit. Surety bonds are also posted under the terms of certain contracts to guarantee our performance. The letters of credit outstanding included $226 million issued under our Credit Agreement and $461 million issued under uncommitted bank lines at December 31, 2013. Of the total letters of credit outstanding, $249 million relate to our joint venture operations where the letters of credit are posted by our banks on our behalf using our capacity to support our agreed upon pro-rata share of obligations under various contracts executed by joint ventures of which we agreedare a member. As the need arises, future projects will be supported by letters of credit issued under our Credit Agreement or other lines of credit arranged on a bilateral, syndicated or other basis. We believe we have adequate letter of credit capacity under our Credit Agreement and bilateral lines of credit to paysupport our operations for the former noncontrolling shareholder 44.94%next twelve months.

(a)In the ordinary course of business, we enter into commitments for the purchase or lease of software, materials, supplies and similar items. The purchase obligations can span several years depending on the duration of the projects. In general, the costs associated with those purchase obligations are expensed to correspond with the revenue earned on the related projects. The purchase obligations disclosed above do not include purchase obligations that we enter into with vendors in the normal course of business that support existing contracting arrangements with our customers.
(b)
Included in our pension obligations are payments related to our agreement with the trustees of our international plan. The agreement calls for minimum contributions of £28 million in 2014 through 2023. The foreign funding obligations were converted to U.S. dollars using the conversion rate as of December 31, 2013. KBR, Inc. has provided a guarantee for up to £125 million in support of Kellogg Brown & Root (U.K.) Limited's obligation to make payments to the plan in respect of its liability under the Pensions Act 1995.
(c)
Not included in the total are uncertain tax positions recorded pursuant to ASC 740 - Income Taxes, which totaled $69 million as of December 31, 2013. The ultimate timing of when these obligations will be settled cannot be determined with reasonable assurance and have been excluded from the table above. See Note 12 for further discussion on income taxes.

Other factors potentially affecting liquidity

Contract claims. As of December 31, 2013, claims and unapproved change orders related to MWKLseveral projects. Included in the table above are claims included in project estimates-at-completion associated with the reimbursable portion of an EPC contract to construct an LNG facility for which we have recognized an additional $15contract revenue totaling $46 million net liability recorded as “Obligation to former noncontrolling shareholder”. The acquisition was recorded as an equity transactionclaims on this project represent incremental subcontractor costs that reduced noncontrolling interests, accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and additional paid-in capital by $180 million.

Acquisition of Energo Engineering

On April 5, 2010, we acquired 100%are legally entitled to recover from the customer under the terms of the outstanding common stockcontract. We also have claims associated with one of Houston-based Energo Engineering (“Energo”)our APAC projects for approximately $16 millionwhich we have recognized contract revenue of $10 million. These claims are recorded in cash,"costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts" on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


Liquidated damages. Some of our engineering and construction contracts have schedule dates and performance obligations that if not met could subject us to an escrowed holdback amountpenalties for liquidated damages in the event claims are asserted for which we were responsible for the delays. These generally relate to specified activities that must be completed within a project by a set contractual date or achievement of $6 milliona specified level of output or throughput of a plant we construct. Each contract defines the conditions under which a customer may make a claim for liquidated damages. However, in some instances, liquidated damages are not asserted by the customer, but the potential to secure working capital adjustments, indemnification obligationsdo so is used in negotiating or settling claims and closing out the contract.

Based upon our evaluation of the sellers,our performance and other contingent obligationslegal analysis, we have not accrued for possible liquidated damages related to the operationseveral projects totaling $10 million at December 31, 2013 and $2 million at December 31, 2012, (including amounts related to our share of the business. As a result of the acquisition,unconsolidated subsidiaries) that we recognized goodwill of $6 million and other intangible assets of $3 million. Energo provides Integrity Management (IM) and advanced structural engineering services to the offshore oil and gas industry. Energo’s results of operations were integrated into our Hydrocarbons segment.

Technology License Agreement

In January 2010, we entered into a collaboration agreement with BP p.l.c. to market and license certain technology. In conjunction with this arrangement, we acquired a 25-year license granting us the exclusive right to the technology. As partial consideration for the license, we paid an initial fee of $20 million.

Acquisition of Wabi Development Corporation

In October 2008, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Wabi Development Corporation (“Wabi”) for approximately $20 million in cash. As a result of the acquisition, we recognized goodwill of $5 million and other intangible assets of $5 million. Wabi is a privately held Canada-based general contractor, which provides services for the energy, forestry and mining industries. Wabi provides maintenance, fabrication, construction and construction management services to a variety of clients in Canada and Mexico. The integration of Wabi into our Services segment provides additional growth opportunities for our heavy hydrocarbon, forest products, oil sand, general industrial and maintenance services business.

Acquisition of BE&K, Inc.

On July 1, 2008, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of BE&K, Inc., (“BE&K”) a privately held, Birmingham, Alabama-based engineering, construction and maintenance services company serving both domestic and international customers. BE&K’s international operations are located in Poland and Russia. The acquisition of BE&K enhances our ability to provide engineering, construction and maintenance services to a broader variety of industries in North America. We paid approximately $559 million in cash including certain stockholders equity adjustments as defined in the stock purchase agreement and direct transaction costs. BE&K and its acquired divisions have been integrated into our Hydrocarbons, IGP and Services segmentscould incur based upon completing the nature of the underlying projects as currently forecasted.

Transactions with Joint Ventures

We perform many of our projects through incorporated and unincorporated joint ventures. In addition to participating as a joint venture partner, we often provide engineering, procurement, construction, operations or maintenance services to the joint venture as a subcontractor. Where we provide services to a joint venture that we control and therefore consolidate for further discussion offinancial reporting purposes, we eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses on such transactions. In situations where we account for our interest in the BE&K acquisition.

Business Reorganization

During the first quarter of 2010, we reorganized our business segments into discrete business units, each focused on a specific segment of the market with identifiable customers, business strategies, and sales and marketing capabilities. The reorganization includes the realignment of certain underlying projects among our existing business units as well as the transfer of certain projects to several newly formed business units. Certain realigned business units are reportedjoint venture under the newly formed Hydrocarbons and Infrastructure, Government & Power (“IGP”) business segments. Our Services segment and Ventures business unit continue to operate on a stand-alone basis. See “Item 1. Business – Our Business Segments and Business Units” for further descriptionequity method of accounting, we do not eliminate any portion of our realigned business reorganization.

Critical Accounting Policies


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to select appropriate accounting policies and to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Our critical accounting policies are described below to provide a better understanding of how we develop our assumptions and judgments about future events and related estimationsestimates and how they can impact our financial statements. A criticalsignificant accounting estimate is one that requires our most difficult, subjective or complex estimates and assessments and is fundamental to our results of operations.


We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable according to the current facts and circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We believe the following are the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as well as the significant estimates and judgments affecting the application of these policies. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes.


Percentage of completion. Engineering and Construction Contracts. Revenue from long-term contracts to provide construction, engineering, design or similar services is reported onrecognized as contract performance progresses using the percentage-of-completion methodmethod. We estimate the progress towards completion to determine the amount of accounting. This method of accounting requires us to calculate jobrevenue and profit to be recognized in each reporting period, for each job based upon our projections of future outcomes, which include estimates of the total cost to complete the project; estimates of the project schedule and completion date; estimates of the extent of progress toward completion; and amounts of any probable unapproved claims and change orders included in revenue. Progress is generally based upon a cost incurred to total estimated costs at completion approach but we also use alternative methods including physical progress, man-hourslabor hours incurred to total estimated labor hours at completion or costs incurredothers depending on the type of job. Physical progress is determined as a combination of input and output measures as deemed appropriate by the circumstances.project.


At the outset of each contract, we prepare a detailed analysis of our estimated cost to complete the project. Risks relating to service delivery, usage, productivity and other factors are considered in the estimation process. Our project personnel periodically evaluate the estimated costs, claims, change orders and percentage of completion at the project level. The recording of profits and losses on long-term contracts requires an estimate of the total profit or loss over the life of each contract. This estimate requires consideration of total contract value, change orders and claims, less costs incurred and estimated costs to complete. We also take into account liquidated damages when determining total contract profit or loss. Our contracts often require us to pay liquidated damages should we not meet certain performance requirements, including completion of the project in accordance with a scheduled time.timeline. We recognize accrued liquidated damages as a reduction in revenues. We generally include an estimate of liquidated damages in contract costs when it is deemed probable that they will be paid. Anticipated losses on contracts are recorded in full in the period in which they become evident. Profits are recorded based upon the product of estimated contract profit at completion times the current percentage-complete for the contract.

When calculatingestimating the amount of total gross profit or loss on a long-term contract, we include unapproved change orders or claims in contract value when the collection is deemed probable based upon the four criteria for recognizing unapprovedto our clients as adjustments to revenues and claims under FASB ASC 605-35 regarding accounting for performance of construction-typeto vendors, subcontractors and certain production-type contracts. Including probable unapproved claims in this calculation increases the operating income (or reduces the operating loss) that would otherwise be recorded without consideration of the probable unapproved claims. Probable unapproved claimsothers as adjustments to total estimated costs. Claims against others are recorded up to the extent of the lesser of the amounts management expects to recover or to costs incurred and include no profit element. In all cases, the probableuntil such time as they are finalized and approved. See Note 5 for our discussion on unapproved claims included in determining contract profit or loss are less than the actual claim that will be or has been presented to the customer. We are actively engaged in claims negotiations with our customers,change orders and the success of claims negotiations has a direct impact on the profit or loss recorded for any related long-term contract. Unsuccessful claims negotiations could result in decreases in estimated contract profits or additional contract losses, and successful claims negotiations could result in increases in estimated contract profits or recovery of previously recorded contract losses.

claims.


At least quarterly, significant projects are reviewed in detail by senior management. We have a long history of working with multiple types of projects and in preparing cost estimates. However, there are many factors that impact future costs, including but not limited to weather, inflation, labor and community disruptions, timely availability of materials, productivity and other factors as outlined in our “Risk“Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.. These factors can affect the accuracy of our estimates and materially impact our future reported earnings.


For contracts containing multiple deliverables we analyze each activity within the contract to ensure that we adhere to the separation guidelines of ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition and ASC 605-25 - Multiple-Element Arrangements.

Estimated Losses on Uncompleted Contracts and Changes in Contract Estimates. Estimates. We record provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are identified. The cumulative effects of revisions to contract revenue and estimated completion costs are recorded in the accounting period in which the amounts become evident and can be reasonably estimated. These revisions can include such items as the effects of change orders and claims, warranty claims, liquidated damages or other contractual penalties, adjustments for audit findings on USU.S. government contracts and contract closeout settlements.


Accounting for government contracts. Most of thecontracts. Frequently, services provided to the United States government are governed by cost-reimbursable contracts. Generally, these contracts may contain both a base feefees (a fixed profit percentage applied to our actual costs to complete the work) and an incentive/award fee (a variable profit percentage applied to definitized costs, which is subject to our customer’s discretion and tied to the specific performance measures defined in the contract, such as adherence to schedule, health and safety, quality of work, responsiveness, cost performance, and business management).fees.


Revenue is recorded at the time services are performed, and such revenue includes base fees, actual direct project costs incurred and an allocation of indirect costs. Indirect costs are applied using rates approved by our government customers. The general, administrative and overhead cost reimbursement rates are estimated periodically in accordance with government contract accounting regulations and may change based on actual costs incurred or based upon the volume of work performed. Revenue is reduced for our estimate of costs that either are in dispute with our customer or have been identified as potentially unallowable perpursuant to the terms of the contract or the federal acquisition regulations.

Award fees are generally evaluated and granted periodically by our customer. For contracts entered into prior to June 30, 2003, award fees are recognized during the term of the contract based on our estimate of amounts to be awarded. Once award fees are granted and task orders underlying the work are definitized, we adjust our estimate of award fees to actual amounts earned. Our estimates are often based on our past award experience for similar types of work. We periodically receive LogCAP III award fee scores and, based on these actual amounts, we adjust our accrual rate for future awards, if necessary. The controversial nature of this contract may cause actual awards to vary significantly from past experience. As discussed further in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements, we are currently unable to reliably estimate award fees as a result of our customer’s unilateral decision to grant no award fees for certain performance periods.


For contracts containing multiple deliverables entered into subsequent to June 30, 2003, we analyze each activity within the contract to ensure that we adhere to the separation guidelines of FASB ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition and FASB ASC 605-25 - Multiple-Element Arrangements. For service-only contracts and service elements of multiple deliverable arrangements, award fees are recognized only when definitized and awarded by the customer. Award fees on government construction contracts are recognized during the term of the contract based on our estimate of the amount of fees to be awarded.


Similar to many cost-reimbursable contracts, these government contracts are typically subject to audit and adjustment by our customer. Each contract is unique; therefore, the level of confidence in our estimates for audit adjustments varies depending on how much historical data we have with a particular contract. KBR excludes from billings to the U.S. Governmentgovernment costs that are expressly unallowable, or mutually agreed to be unallowable, or not allocable to government

contracts perbased on the applicable regulations. Revenue recorded for government contract work is reduced for our estimate of potentially refundableunallowable costs related to issues that may be categorized as disputed or unallowable as a result of cost overruns or the audit process. Our estimates of potentially unallowable costs are based upon, among other things, our internal analysis of the facts and circumstances, terms of the contracts and the applicable provisions of the FAR, quality of supporting documentation for costs incurred and subcontract terms, as applicable. From time to time, we engage outside counsel to advise us on certain matters in determining whether certain costs are allowable. We also review our analysis and findings with the ACOadministrative contracting officer (“ACO”) as appropriate. In some cases, we may not reach agreement with the DCAA or the ACO regarding potentially unallowable costs which may result in our filing of claims in various courts such as the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (“ASBCA”) or the United States Court of Federal Claims (“COFC”).COFC. We only include amounts in revenue related to disputed and potentially unallowable costs when we determine it is probable that such costs will result in revenue. We generally do not recognize additional revenue for disputed or potentially unallowable costs for which revenue has been previously reduced until we reach agreement with the DCAA and/or the ACO that such costs are allowable.


Goodwill Impairment Testing.Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired in business combinations and, in accordance with FASB ASC 350 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, we are required to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, and more frequently when negative conditions or other triggering events arise. Effective January 1, 2010, we elected to change our annualWe test goodwill for impairment testing to the fourth quarter of every year based on carrying values of our business unitsannually as of October 1 from our previous method of using our business unit carrying values as of September 30. An annual goodwill impairment test date of October 1 better aligns with our annual budget process which is completed during the fourth quarter of each year. In addition, performing our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter allows for a more thorough consideration of the valuations of our business units subsequent to the completion of our annual budget process but prior to our financial year end reporting date. As a result of this accounting change, there were no required adjustments to any of the financial statement line items in the accompanying financial statements.1. As of December 31, 2010,2013, we had goodwill totaling $947$772 million on our consolidated balance sheet.

In the first quarter of 2010, we reorganized our business units, each focused on a specific segment of the market with identifiable customers, business strategies, and sales and marketing capabilities. For segment reporting purposes, the business units are grouped into four reportable segments: Hydrocarbons; Infrastructure, Government & Power; Services; and Other. Within those reportable segments we operate eleven business units which are also our operating segments as defined by FASB ASC 280 – Segment Reporting and our reporting units as defined by FASB ASC 350.sheets. In accordance with FASB ASC 350 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, we conduct our goodwill impairment testing at the reporting unit level which consists of our eleven business units. The reporting units include Gas Monetization, Oil & Gas, Downstream, Technology, North American Government & Defense, International Government & Defense, Power & Industrial, Infrastructure & Minerals, Services, Ventures, and the AllStates staffing business.

Our October 1, 2013, annual impairment test for goodwill iswas a quantitative analysis using a two-step process that involves comparing the estimated fair value of each businessreporting unit to the unit’sits carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a businessreporting unit exceeds its carrying amount,value, the goodwill of the businessreporting unit is not considered impaired; therefore, the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amountvalue of a businessreporting unit exceeds its fair value, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recorded, as necessary.

The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill to the carrying value, if any, of that goodwill. We determine the implied fair value of the goodwill in the same manner as determining the amount of goodwill to be recognized in a business combination.


Consistent with prior years, the fair values of reporting units in 20102013 were determined using a combination of two methods, one based onutilizing market earnings multiples of peer companies identified for each business unit (the market approach), and the other based onderived from discounted cash flow models with estimated cash flows based on internal forecasts of revenues and expenses over a fourten year period plus a terminal value period (the income approach).

The


Under the market approach, estimateswe estimate fair value by applying earnings and revenue market multiples to a reporting unit’s operating performance for the trailing twelve-month period. The market multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with operating and investment characteristics similar to those of each of our reporting units. The earnings multiples for the market approach ranged between 4.0 times and 11.0from 7.6 to 10.9 times the earnings for each of our reporting units. The income approach estimates fair value by discounting each reporting unit’s estimated future cash flows using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions and the risk profile of eachthe reporting unit. To arrive at our future cash flows, we use estimates of economic and market assumptions, including growth rates in revenues, costs, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins, tax rates and cash expenditures. The risk-adjusted discount rates usedapplied to our future cash flows under the income approach ranged from 13.2%12.5% to 17.5%17.8%. The fair value derived from the weighting of these two methods provided appropriate valuations that, in aggregate, reasonably reconciled to our market capitalization, taking into account observable control premiums.

We believe these two approaches are appropriate valuation techniques and we generally weight the two resulting values equally as an estimate of a reporting unitunit's fair value for the purposes of our impairment testing. However, we may weigh one value more heavily than the other when conditions merit doing so.

Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The fair value derived from the weighting of these two methods provides appropriate valuations that, in the aggregate, reasonably reconcile to our market capitalization, taking into account observable control premiums.


In addition to the earnings multiples and the discount rates disclosed above, certain other judgments and estimates are used to prepare thein our goodwill impairment test. IfGiven this, if market conditions change compared to those used in our market approach, or if actual future results of operations fall below the projections used in the income approach, our goodwill could become impaired in the future.


At the annual testing date of October 1, 2010,2013, our market capitalization exceeded the carrying value of our consolidated net assets by $1.4$2.8 billion and, except for one reporting unit in our IGP business segment, the fair value of all our individual reporting units significantlysubstantially exceeded their respective carrying amounts as of that date. However, theThe fair valuesvalue for the Services, P&Ione reporting unit in our Hydrocarbons business segment and Allstatestwo reporting units in our IGP business segment exceeded their respective carrying values based on projected growth rates and other market inputs to our impairment test models that are more sensitive to the risk of future variances due to competitive market conditions as well asand reporting unit project execution. If future variances for these assumptions are negative and significant, the fair values of these reporting units may not substantially exceed their carrying values in future periods.

The carrying value of the one reporting unit in our IGP business segment exceeded its fair value by approximately 30%, thus failing Step 1. This is the same reporting unit execution risks.

discussed below in relation to the goodwill impairment in 2012. We review our projected growth rates and other market inputsthen performed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test which compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its carrying value by approximately $5 million or 6%. Therefore, no impairment was indicated, but changes in the actual performance versus the assumptions used in ourthe Step 2 impairment test models,could result in a future impairment.


On January 1, 2014, we reorganized four of the five reporting units in the IGP business segment into three geographic-based reporting units. This reorganization allows the IGP business segment to focus its full-scope engineering, procurement, construction and changesdefense services on a regional level. We have concluded that each will be considered a separate reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing purposes. As a result, we performed an additional impairment test immediately before and after this change in our business and other factors that could represent indicators of impairment. Subsequent toreporting units, utilizing the same methodology as our October 1, 2010 annual impairment test and no such indicatorsindication of impairment werewas identified.


In the third quarter of 2009,2012, we recognized a noncash goodwill impairment charge of approximately $6$178 million related to the AllStates staffing reporting unitIGP business segment in connection with our annual goodwillinterim impairment test on September 30, 2009.review. The charge was primarily the result of the determination that both the actual and expected income and cash flows for our IGP business segment were substantially lower than previous forecasts due to losses from ongoing projects acquired as part of the acquisition of Roberts & Schaefer Company.

Deferred taxes and tax contingencies. contingencies. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. A current tax asset or liability is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year. A deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. A current tax asset or liability is recognized for the estimated taxes refundable or payable on tax returns for the current year. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of the enacted tax law, and the effects of potential future changes in tax laws or rates are not considered.


In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will not be realized. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and available tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Additionally, we use forecasts of certain tax elements such as taxable income and foreign tax credit utilization and the evaluation of tax planning strategies in making thisan assessment of realization. GivenThe company is relying on a forecast of future taxable income in making its determination regarding the inherent uncertainty involved withneed for a valuation allowance on the use of such assumptions, there candeferred tax assets related to state net operating losses. In the event our future taxable income is less than the forecasted amount, an additional valuation allowance may need to be significant variation between anticipated and actual results.recorded in the future. As of December 31, 2010,2013, we had net deferred tax assets of $116$390 million, which are net of deferred tax liabilities of $262$208 million and a valuation allowance of $32$44 million primarily related to certain U.S. state and foreign branch net operating losses. In 2010, we increased our valuation allowance by approximately $2 million primarily due to net operating losses generated in tax jurisdictions where future taxable income is not expected to be sufficient for us to recognize a tax benefit.


We have operations in numerous countries other than the United States.States and in numerous other countries. Consequently, we are subject to the jurisdictionjurisdictions of a significant number of taxing authorities. The income earned in these various jurisdictions is taxed on differing bases, including income actually earned, income deemed earned and revenue-based tax withholding. The final determination of our worldwide tax liabilities involves the interpretation of local tax laws, tax treaties and related authorities in each jurisdiction. Changes in the operating environment, including changes in tax law and currency/repatriation controls, could impact the determination of our tax liabilities for a tax year.

We record estimated reserves for uncertain

Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recognized as benefits in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertainunrecognized tax positions within the provision forbenefits in income taxes.

tax expense.


Tax filings of our subsidiaries, unconsolidated affiliates and related entities are routinely examined in the normal course of business by tax authorities. These examinations may result in assessments of additional taxes, which we work to resolve with the tax authorities and through the judicial process. Predicting the outcome of disputed assessments involves some uncertainty. Factors such as the availability of settlement procedures, willingness of tax authorities to negotiate and the operation and impartiality of judicial systems vary across the different tax jurisdictions and may significantly influence the

ultimate outcome. We review the facts for each assessment, and then utilize assumptions and estimates to determine the most likely outcome and provide taxes, interest and penalties as needed based on this outcome.


Legal and Investigation Matters.As discussed in Notes 913 and 1014 of our consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 20102013 and 2009,2012, we have accrued an estimate of the probable and estimable costs for the resolution of some of our legal and investigation matters. For other matters for which the liability is not probable and reasonably estimable, we have not accrued any amounts. Attorneys in our legal department monitor and manage all claims filed against us and review all pending investigations. Generally, the estimate of probable costs related to these matters is developed in consultation with internal and outsideexternal legal counsel representing us. Our estimates are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. The precision of these estimates is impacted byand the amountlikelihood of due diligence we have been able to perform.future changes depend on a number of underlying variables and a range of possible outcomes. We attempt to resolve these matters through settlements, mediation and arbitration proceedings when possible. If the actual settlement costs, final judgments or fines, after appeals, differ from our estimates after appeals, our future financial results may be materially and adversely affected. We record adjustments to our initial estimates of these types of contingencies in the periods when the change in estimate is identified.


Pensions. Pensions. Our pension benefit obligations and expenses are calculated using actuarial models and methods, in accordance with FASB ASC 715 – Compensation—- Compensation - Retirement Benefits. Two of the more critical assumptions and estimates used in the actuarial calculations are the discount rate for determining the current value of plan benefitsbenefit obligations and the expected rate of return on plan

assets. Other assumptions and estimates used in determining benefit obligations and plan expenses includinginclude inflation rates and demographic factors such as retirement age, mortality and turnover,turnover. These assumptions and estimates are also evaluated periodically and updated accordingly to reflect our actual experience.

experience and expectations.


The discount rate used to determine the benefit obligations was determined annually by reviewing yieldscomputed using a yield curve approach that matches plan specific cash flows to a spot rate yield curve based on high-quality bonds that receive one of the two highest ratings given by a recognized rating agency and the expected duration of the obligations specific to the characteristics of the Company’s plans.high quality corporate bonds. The overall expected long-term rate of return on assets was determined by reviewing targeteda stochastic projection that takes into account asset allocations andallocation strategies, historical indexlong-term performance of the applicableindividual asset classes, on a long-term basisan analysis of at least 15 years.additional return (net of fees) generated by active management, risks using standard deviations and correlations of returns among the asset classes that comprise the plans' asset mix. Plan assets are comprised primarily of equity securities, fixed income funds and debt securities.securities, hedge funds, real estate and other funds. As we have both domestic and international plans, these assumptions differ based on varying factors specific to each particular country or economic environment.


The discount rate utilized to determinecalculate the projected benefit obligation at the measurement date for our U.S. pension plan decreased from 5.35%increased to 3.38% at December 31, 2009 to 4.84%2013 from 3.09% at December 31, 2010.2012. The discount rate utilized to determine the projected benefit obligation at the measurement date for our U.K. pension plans,plan, which constitutes all of our international plans and 95%96% of all plans, decreased from 5.84%to 4.45% at December 31, 2009 to 5.45%2013 from 4.50% at December 31, 2010.2012. An additional future decrease in the discount rate of 25 basis points for our pension plans would increase our projected benefit obligation by an estimated $2$101 million and $50$2 million for the USU.K. and UKU.S. plans, respectively, while a similar increase in the discount rate would reduce our projected benefit obligation by an estimated $2$96 million and $48$2 million for the USU.K. and UKU.S. plans, respectively. Our expected long-term rates of return on plan assets utilized at the measurement date decreased from 7.63% toremained unchanged at 7.00% for our U.S. pension planplans and remained unchanged at 7.0%increased to 6.45% from 6.15% for our U.K. pension plans.

To calculate the expected return on pension plan assets, the market-related value of assets for our U.S. pension plans is actual fair value.  For our international plans.

plan, a method is used that recognizes investment gains or losses, the difference between the expected and actual return based on market-related value of assets over a five-year period, which has the effect of reducing year-to-year volatility.


Unrecognized actuarial gains and losses are generally being recognized using the corridor method over a period of 10 toapproximately 15 years, which represents the expected remaining service life ofa reasonable systematic method for amortizing gains and losses for the employee group. Our unrecognized actuarial gains and losses arise from several factors, including experience and assumptionsassumption changes in the obligations and the difference between expected returns and actual returns on plan assets. The difference between actual and expected returns is deferred as an unrecognized actuarial gain or loss and is recognized as future pension expense. Our pretax unrecognized actuarial loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 20102013 was $538$829 million, of which $20$42 million is expected to be recognized as a component of our expected 20112014 pension expense. Lower than expected long-term rates of return on our plan assets and the previous curtailment of our existing pension plans could increase our future pension costs and contributions over historical levels.expense compared to $36 million in 2013. During 2010,2013, we made contributions to fund our defined benefit plans of $20$54 million. We currently expect to make contributions in 20112014 of approximately $68$46 million.


The actuarial assumptions used in determining our pension benefits may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates and longer or shorter life spans of participants. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience, expectations, or changes in assumptions may materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our actuarial estimates of pension benefit expense and expected pension returns of plan assets are discussed in Note 1710 in the accompanying financial statements.


Variable Interest Entities. Entities. We account for variable interest entities (“VIEs”)VIEs in accordance with FASB ASC 810 - Consolidation which requires the consolidation of VIEs in which a company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If a reporting enterprise meets these conditions then it has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We have appliedAn unconsolidated VIE is accounted for under the requirementsequity method of FASB ASC 810 on a prospective basis from January 1, 2010.accounting.


We assess all newly created entities and those with which we become involved to determine whether such entities are VIEs and, if so, whether or not we are their primary beneficiary. Most of the entities we assess are incorporated or unincorporated joint ventures formed by us and our partner(s) for the purpose of executing a project or program for a customer, such as a governmental agency or a commercial enterprise, and are generally dissolved upon completion of the project or program. Many of our long-term energy-related construction projects in our HydrocarbonsGas Monetization business segment are executed through such joint ventures. Typically, these joint ventures are funded by advances from the project owner, and accordingly, require little or no equity investment by the joint venture partners but may require subordinatedother financial support from the joint venture partners such as letters of credit, performance and financial guarantees or obligations to fund losses incurred by the joint venture. Other joint ventures, such as privately financed initiatives in our Ventures business unit, generally require the partners to invest equity and take an ownership position in an entity that manages and operates an asset post construction.


44




As required by ASC 810 - Consolidation, we perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary once an entity is identified as a VIE. Thereafter, we continue to re-evaluate whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE in accordance with ASC 810 - Consolidation. A qualitative assessment begins with an understanding of the nature of the risks in the entity as well as the nature of the entity’s activities includingactivities. These include the terms of the contracts entered into by the entity, ownership interests issued by the entity and how they were marketed and the parties involved in the design of the entity. We then identify all of the variable interests held by parties involved with the VIE including, among other things, equity investments, subordinated debt financing, letters of credit, and financial and performance guarantees and contracted service providers. Once we identify the variable interests, we determine those activities which are most significant to the economic performance of the entity and which variable interest holder has the power to direct those activities. Though infrequent, some of our VIE’s haveassessments reveal no primary beneficiary because the power to direct the most significant activities that impact the economic performance is held equally by two or more variable interest holders who are required to provide their consent prior to the execution of their decisions. Most of the VIEs with which we are involved have relatively few variable interests and are primarily related to our equity investment, significant service contracts and other subordinated financial support.

Our revenue includes both equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates and revenue from the sales of services into the joint ventures. We often participate on larger projects as a joint venture partner and also provide services to the venture as a subcontractor. The amount included in our revenue represents our share of total project revenue, including equity in the earnings (loss) from joint ventures and revenue from services provided to joint ventures.

For purposes of reviewing the results of operations, “business unit income” is calculated as revenue less cost of services managed and reported by the business unit and are directly attributable to the business unit. Business unit income excludes corporate general and administrative expenses and other non-operating income and expense items.

Hydrocarbons Business Segment

Gas Monetization. Revenue from Gas Monetization increased in 2010 by $74 million primarily due to increased activity from the Gorgon LNG and several other LNG projects. Revenue from these projects increased $442 million in the aggregate compared to 2009 primarily as a result of the transition from the FEED to the EPCM portion of the Gorgon project as well as absence of losses in 2009 from two joint ventures executing LNG projects that were substantially completed in 2010. Partially offsetting these increases in revenue was a decline in revenue of approximately $360 million due to lower procurement and subcontractor activity on the Skikda LNG projects and lower progress on the Pearl GTL project as well as projects that were completed in 2009.

Gas Monetization job income increased approximately $74 million in 2010 compared to the same period of the prior year. Job income increased $117 million as a result of increased activity on the EPCM potion of the Gorgon LNG project as

well as change orders on an LNG project executed through a joint venture which is substantially completed. Additionally, job income increased due to the absence of a charge of $30 million in 2009 on an LNG project resulting from schedule delays, subcontractor claims and equipment failures. Partially offsetting the increases in job income were decreases of approximately $60 million in the aggregate on the Escravos and Pearl GTL projects and lower activity on another LNG project that was completed in 2009. Additionally, primarily due to actions and inactions on the part of the customer, we identified increases in the estimated cost to complete an LNG project due to a schedule delay which resulted in a non-cash charge of approximately $42 million to job income in the third quarter of 2010. We are evaluating our legal entitlement under the contract with our customer and will vigorously pursue all other available remedies which may reduce our exposure to the estimated project cost increases in future periods.

During 2010, we negotiated a final settlement agreement with one of our commercial agents who provided services to various Gas Monetization projects which resulted in a non-cash increase to Gas Monetization job income of approximately $42 million in the third quarter of 2010. Prior to the settlement, the agent was reviewed and approved under our policies on business conduct.

Revenue for 2009 in Gas Monetization increased by $599 million primarily due to increased activity from several projects including the Escravos GTL, Gorgon LNG and Skikda LNG projects. Revenue from these projects increased an aggregate $784 million in 2009. Our Escravos GTL and Skikda LNG project revenues increased primarily due to higher volumes of material procurement activity compared to the prior year. Revenue on our Gorgon LNG project increased as a result of the transition from the FEED to the EPCM portion of the project which was awarded in the third quarter of 2009. Partially offsetting the 2009 increases in Gas Monetization revenue were declines in revenue of approximately $228 million due to lower activity on the Pearl GTL project as well as increases in project costs due to schedule delays, subcontractor claims and equipment failures on other LNG projects that are nearing completion.

Job income increased $63 million in the aggregate on the Escravos GTL and Gorgon LNG projects in 2009. We recognized higher incentive fees on the Escravos GTL project in 2009 than in the prior year and increased activity on the Gorgon LNG project due to the award of the EPCM portion of the project contributed to the increase in job income for 2009. Also, in 2008 we recognized a $20 million charge related to the settlement of the FCPA and bidding practices investigation in Nigeria which did not recur in 2009 further contributing to the increase in Gas Monetization job income in 2009. Partially offsetting these 2009 increases in Gas Monetization job income were increases in project costs on other LNG projects due to schedule delays, subcontractor claims and equipment failures as these projects near completion.

Oil & Gas.Revenue in Oil & Gas decreased by $150 million and job income decreased by $184 million in 2010 over the prior year. The decrease in revenue and job income is primarily due to favorable arbitration award on the EPC 1 project performed for PEMEX which contributed approximately $183 million to revenues in 2009. Increased revenue and job income related to new project awards and higher progress on existing projects in 2010 partially offset the impact of the EPC1 award recognized in 2009. Additional legal costs related to the Barracuda arbitration and lower margins for the Jack St Malo and Kashagan projects in 2010 also contributed to the decline in job income.

Revenue from Oil & Gas in 2009 increased largely as a result of the favorable arbitration award on the EPC 1 project performed for PEMEX which contributed approximately $183 million to the increase in 2009 revenues. Partially offsetting the increase in Oil & Gas revenues were decreases due to the slower progress on a number of offshore projects that were either completed or were nearing completion in 2009 including the AIOC project in Kazakhstan and Woodside North Rankin project in Australia. Job income in our Oil & Gas for 2009 increased primarily due to the $351 million favorable arbitration award on the EPC 1 project performed for PEMEX which resulted in $183 million of job income. Oil & Gas job income in 2008 included a $51 million gain related to a settlement with PEMEX on the EPC 28 project that did not recur in 2009.

Downstream.Downstream revenue in 2010 increased by $106 million primarily due to increases on the Sonangol refining job in Africa and petrochemical projects in the Middle East including Shaybah, Ras Tanura and Yanbu, which increased approximately $207 million in the aggregate as a result of increased activity over the prior year. These increases in revenue were partially offset by lower revenues of $24 million on the Saudi Kayan project and $61 million on other projects nearing completion.

Downstream job income in 2010 increased by approximately $58 million as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by increased activity on the Sonangol, Saudi Kayan, Ras Tanura and Yanbu projects which resulted in an increase in job income of $66 million in 2010. Additionally, Downstream job income in 2009 included $17 million in charges on our EBIC ammonia project due to additional costs related to the commissioning and start up of the plant which did not recur in 2010. Partially offsetting these increases in job income was a charge of approximately $9 million related to an account receivable reserve adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 2010 as well as decreases on

several projects that were completed or nearing completion.

Downstream revenue decreased by $6 million in 2009. Downstream was awarded with a number of refining projects in late 2008, including the Sonagol FEED project which increased revenue in 2009. Additionally, projects acquired in the July 1, 2008 acquisition of BE&K further increased revenue as a result of having a full years worth of activity in 2009. However, these increases were more than offset by the completion of several refining projects in 2009 as well as a significant decrease in activity on the EBIC ammonia plant project as it neared completion. Downstream job income in 2009 decreased primarily due to a $23 million reduction in profit on the EBIC ammonia plant project. As this project neared completion, we incurred additional costs associated with a delay in completing the plant’s reliability test which was successfully completed and formally accepted by the client in the third quarter of 2009. Partially offsetting this decrease was an aggregate increase in job income of $7 million in our refining operations primarily due to the increased activity of new refining projects awarded in late 2008.

Technology. Technology revenue and job income in 2010 increased $33 and $6 million, respectively, primarily due to the progress achieved on a number of new projects including several grassroots ammonia and urea projects in Brazil, Turkmenistan and India, as well as petrochemical plants in China. These new projects contributed approximately $57 million to the increase in Technology revenue and approximately $29 million to the increase in Technology job income in 2010. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in revenue and job income associated with the completion of engineering services on several ammonia projects located in Venezuela, Trinidad, and India, and other refining projects in Spain and Russia.

Technology revenue and job income in 2009 increased by $13 million and $8 million, respectively. Revenue increased primarily due to the progress achieved on several ammonia projects including grassroots ammonia projects in Brazil and Trinidad and an ammonia plant revamp in India and new refining projects in India, Angola, and Indonesia which contributed approximately $34 million to the increase. These increases were partially offset by the completion of engineering services on several ammonia projects located in China and South America as well as several other projects that were completed in 2008. Technology job income for 2009 increased by $8 million primarily due to our grassroots ammonia projects in Venezuela and Trinidad and the ammonia plant revamp in India which contributed $17 million to the increase. Additionally, job income increased by approximately $6 million on our refining projects in India, Angola and Indonesia. These increases were partially offset by lower activity on our ammonia projects in China and South America and other projects that were completed in 2008 and early 2009.

Infrastructure, Government and Power (“IGP”) Business Segment

North America Government and Defense (“NAGD”). Revenue from NAGD decreased approximately $1.9 billion in 2010. The decrease in NAGD revenue includes a $2 billion decline resulting from an overall reduction in volume for U.S. military support activities primarily in Iraq under our LogCAP III contract. The lower volume is primarily due to the continued reductions in staff and personnel on the project as military bases have closed and combat troop levels declined. We expect to continue providing services on certain task orders through 2011. Although the decreases in revenue on the LogCAP III project have been partially offset by an increase in revenue of $246 million on a task order under the LogCAP IV contract, we expect our overall volume of work to continue to decrease in Iraq throughout the remainder of 2011. Also contributing to the decrease in NAGD revenue is $130 million less revenue as a result of lower volumes of work under the CENTCOM project.

Job income from NAGD increased by approximately $117 million primarily due to the net impact of the charge related to the write-off of award fees in 2009 on the LogCAP III contract previously accrued in 2008 and recognition of award fees in 2010 for periods of performance from May 2008 through May 2010 awarded to us in the second and third quarters of 2010. The net impact of this award fee activity resulted in an increase to job income of approximately $159 in 2010. The increases in NAGD job income due to the award fees were partially offset by lower volume of activity on our LogCAP III contract as a result of the overall reduction in volume of U.S. military support activities in 2010 primarily in Iraq which resulted in a decrease to job income of $74 million. Additionally, job income on the LogCAP III contract decreased due to the absence of a gain of $17 million in 2009 related to the billing of costs incurred in previous periods related to the litigation with one our LogCAP III subcontractors and a charge recorded in 2010 of $23 million associated with potentially unallowable costs.

Revenue from NAGD decreased by $838 million in 2009 largely as a result of the overall reduction in volume of activity on our LogCAP III contract in Iraq. Revenue from the LogCAP III contract decreased $664 million in 2009 which was primarily driven by declines in troop levels throughout the year. Additionally, the U.S. Army was in the process of transitioning services in Kuwait and Afghanistan from the LogCAP III contract to the LogCAP IV contract which further

contributed to the decrease in revenues for 2009. Additionally, revenue from NAGD decreased in 2009 as a result of the reduction in activity on the Los Alamos project and other domestic cost-reimbursable U.S. government projects. Revenue on these projects decreased approximately $189 million in the aggregate.

Job income from NAGD was lower in 2009 by approximately $147 million primarily due to the net charge taken in 2009 as a result of reversing our award fee accruals for the performance period January 2008 through December 2009 which resulted in a decrease of $130 million to job income, as well as lower volume of activity on our LogCAP III contract. On February 19, 2010, we were notified by the U.S. Army’s Iraq Award Fee Evaluation Board for the LogCAP III project that KBR would not receive any award fees for the performance period from January 1, 2008 through April 30, 2008, for which we had previously accrued $20 million. As a result, we re-evaluated our assumptions used in the estimation process related to the remainder of the open performance periods from May 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009, that were based on our historic experience, and in light of the discretionary actions of the Award Fee Determining Official (“AFDO”) in February 2010, and our inability to obtain assurances to the contrary, we concluded that we were no longer able to estimate the fees to be awarded. Accordingly, we reversed the remaining balance of the accrued award fees. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our award fee accruals. Additionally, we recognized a $19 million charge in 2009 as a result of an unfavorable judgment against us in litigation with one of our LogCAP III subcontractors and additional charges totaling $17 million related to the correction of errors primarily associated with legal fees on various U.S. government related matters. These decreases were partially offset by $17 million of charges recorded in 2008 related to the ASCO litigation and the revenue that was subsequently recognized in 2009 related to our recovery of these charges through billings to our customer. In addition, our charges for potentially unallowable costs in 2009 were lower than 2008.

International Government and Defence (“IGD”). Revenue from IGD increased approximately $81 million and job income increased $17 million in 2010 compared to the prior year. The increase in revenue was primarily related to the ongoing presence of troops in Afghanistan where we provide contingency logistics, operations and maintenance and other services to the U.K. MoD and NATO under the TDA and NAMSA projects. Job income in the third quarter of 2010 increased due to higher construction margins on the Allenby & Connaught project due to increased volumes of construction activity as well as contingency releases related to warranty expirations on other projects.

Revenues from our International Operations decreased in 2009 largely due to reduced levels of work volumes on U.K. MoD projects including the Tier 3 Basra project in Iraq and the Temporary Deployable Accommodations project. Job income from our International Operations decreased in 2009 primarily due to the Allenby & Connaught joint venture resulting from lower interest rate returns on project investments and strengthening of the U.S. Dollar to the British pound as well as lower volumes of activity on other projects for the U.K. MoD.

Infrastructure and Minerals (“I&M”). Revenue from I&M decreased approximately $66 million in 2010 over the prior year due to lower overall activity on several projects. The projects were either completed in 2010 or scaled down as a result of the global economic conditions. Additionally, new project awards have been either delayed or canceled further contributing to the decrease. Job income from I&M decreased in 2010 by approximately $25 million primarily as a result of the overall decrease in project activity primarily in Australia and fewer project awards.

Revenue from I&M decreased approximately $94 million in 2009 over the prior year due to lower overall activity across the market sectors and in particular due to a number of large projects being at maximum capacity in the prior year. Job income from I&M declined slightly by approximately $4 million in 2009.

Power and Industrial (“P&I”). Revenue from P&I decreased approximately $122 million in 2010 over the prior year largely as a result of the completion of fieldwork on projects in early 2010 and reduced workload on projects as they near completion. These decreases were partially offset by increased volume on a new waste-to-energy refurbishment project in Florida and increased scope on other existing projects. Job income from P&I decreased by $31 million in 2010 primarily as a result of completion of the Georgia Power and Procter & Gamble projects, lower profits on the Red River project that is nearing completion, and the effect of a non-recurring $9 million gain in 2009 from collection of a fully-reserved project receivable. These declines were partially offset by improved job income of $10 million related to construction mobilization on the waste-to-energy refurbishment project in Florida.

Revenue and job income from P&I increased approximately $230 million and $47 million, respectively, in 2009 compared to 2008 primarily as a result of the BE&K acquisition in July 2008. The improvement in job income was also driven by increased progress on certain projects and by a non-recurring $9 million gain in 2009 from the collection of a fully-reserved project receivable.

Services Segment

Services revenue in 2010 decreased by $108 million as compared to 2009. Revenue declined $95 million in our U.S. Construction Group and a combined $93 million in our Building group and Canada operations. The primary driver for the declines was the completion several projects or projects being near completion and the lack of new project awards. These declines were partially offset by an increase in revenue of $82 million from our Industrial Services group primarily as a result of increased construction maintenance and services under a new multi-site contract for DuPont throughout the Eastern and Gulf Coast regions of the U.S., the Atlanta Public Schools project, as well as the increased levels of turnaround work based in Canada.

Job income increased by approximately $5 million in 2010 over 2009. The increase in job income resulted from the increased activity on the multi-site DuPont project, the Atlanta Public Schools and the Hunt Refining projects as well as favorable change orders on a power plant contract. These increases were partially offset by the lower profits on projects in our Canadian and US Construction operations that are nearing completion.

Services revenue in 2009 increased by $675 million primarily as a result of the business we obtained through the acquisition of BE&K on July 1, 2008, which contributed approximately $545 million to the increase. The increase in revenue from the BE&K acquisition was largely driven by the increased progress on the Hunt Refining project. Revenue from our Services legacy operations also increased as a result of continued growth in our North American Construction and Canadian operations. North American Construction revenue in 2009 increased approximately $67 million over 2008 due to increased progress on the Borger and Exxon Mobil Flare Gas projects in Texas. Revenue from our Canadian operations increased approximately $57 million due to the ramp up in field work on the Shell AOSP project and project mobilization on the Syncrude ESP project in late 2008.

Job income increased by $28 million in 2009 largely due to the business we obtained through the acquisition of BE&K which contributed approximately $44 million to the increase. Additionally, job income increased $7 million in 2009 as a result of higher utilization of marine vessel support services provided through our MMM joint venture in the Gulf of Mexico. Partially offsetting these increases were reductions of approximately $21 million in job income primarily in our Canadian operations due to a transition in that nature of the work performed from fabrication of modules to direct hire field construction which generally is performed at lower profit margins.

Ventures Business Unit

Our Venture’s operations consist of investments in joint ventures accounted for under the equity method of accounting, net of tax. Ventures revenue was $55 million and job income was $33 million in 2010 as compared to revenue of $21 million and job income of $19 million in 2009. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the consolidation of Fasttrax Limited which was consolidated upon the adoption of ASC 810 in the first quarter of 2010. Fasttrax Limited is the primary contracting entity with the U.K. MoD in a project that owns and operates heavy equipment transport vehicles for the U.K. military. This variable interest entity, in which we have a 50% ownership interest, was previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Ventures job income increased during 2010 primarily due to the consolidation of Fasttrax Ltd. as well as improved performance of the EBIC ammonia plant project which became operational in 2009. The EBIC ammonia plant performance benefitted from a full year of operation in 2010, which resulted in increased sales volume and higher ammonia prices compared to 2009. In addition, job income from the Aspire Defence project improved in 2010 compared to 2009 resulting from the increase in the number of assets being accepted into service and lower maintenance costs.

Ventures 2009 job income of $19 million increased $23 million from a job loss of $4 million compared to 2008. This job income increase of $23 million in 2009 was primarily due to the adoption by two of our U.K. road project joint ventures of a favorable U.K. tax ruling related to the tax depreciation of certain assets which resulted in an increase to “Equity earnings from unconsolidated affiliates” of approximately $8 million. This favorable U.K. tax ruling enabled Ventures to also recognize an additional $2 million of gain on a prior disposal of pre-emption share rights relating to these roads which was contingent upon this tax ruling. In addition, as a result of lower inflation in the U.K., certain Ventures investments benefited from significantly lower indexed linked bond interest cost in 2009. Job income increased approximately $3 million in 2009 on the Aspire Defence project as a result of higher progress and lower maintenance costs offset by significantly lower interest income due lower interest rates in the UK than the previous year. In addition, the EBIC ammonia plant was completed during the year and made its first shipment of ammonia in May 2009. The EBIC ammonia plant operations contributed an additional $3 million to the increase in Ventures job income in 2009.

Unallocated amounts

Labor cost absorption.Labor cost absorption income was $12 million in 2010 compared to labor cost absorption expense of $11 million in 2009 and $8 million in 2008. Labor cost absorption represents costs incurred by our central labor and resource groups net of the amounts charged to the operating business units. Labor cost absorption income improved in 2010 primarily due to higher chargeability and utilization in several of our engineering offices as well as a significantly higher headcount in the labor resource pool. Labor cost absorption expense in 2009 was primarily due to lower chargeability and utilization in several of our engineering offices as well as higher incentive compensation which was partially offset by lower headcount. Labor cost absorption expense in 2008 was primarily due to lower chargeability and utilization, partially offset by a $6 million charge recorded in 2008 related to the impact of Hurricane Ike in Houston, Texas.

General and Administrative expense.General and administrative expense was $212 million, $217 million and $223 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. General and administrative expense declined in 2010 due to lower incentive compensation costs, lower legal costs and reductions associated with other cost containment measures. Additionally, in 2009 we wrote-off costs associated with our contemplated West Houston campus project which did not recur in 2010. Partially offsetting these reductions were higher G&A costs associated with corporate development activities, higher U.K. pension costs driven by unfavorable changes in assumptions that impacted 2010 expense and other risk and benefit programs. General and administrative expense declined slightly in 2009 primarily due to 2008 charges related to Hurricane Ike along with lower costs from Halliburton for access to their HR Payroll system and lower state tax audit adjustments. Offsetting these reductions were increases in legal expenses related to both litigation and the FCPA monitor preparation; the write off of approximately $4 million in costs associated with our contemplated West Houston campus project after a decision to maintain our current area location; and higher incentive compensation related to the third year of our long-term incentive plans.

Non-operating items

Net interest expense was $17 million and $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net interest income was $35 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Gross interest expense was $23 million in 2010, $5 million in 2009 and $2 million in 2008. Interest expense increased in 2010 primarily as a result of increased commitment fees paid under the terms of our new credit facility, increased rates associated with outstanding performance-related and financial-related issued letters of credit, and fees paid to Halliburton for guarantees provided to us for various financial commitments. Additionally, interest expense recognized in 2010 on non-recourse project-finance debt was $7 million higher due to the consolidation of Fasttrax Limited effective January 1, 2010.

The significant decline in interest income in 2009 was a result of the decrease in our average interest rates earned and our average cash and equivalents balance. Average interest rates earned on our invested cash declined as a result of the

current economic recession that began in late 2008 combined with a decline in our cash and equivalents which is generally invested in either time deposits with commercial banks or money market funds. The decrease in our average cash and equivalents balance from 2008 to 2009 is attributable to the acquisition of BE&K on July 1, 2008 with a purchase price of approximately $559 million, the use of cash in joint venture projects and a contract in progress, working capital requirements for our Iraq related work and total cumulative stock repurchases.

Provision for income taxes was $191 million, $168 million, and $212 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 32.6%, 31.5%, and 37% for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Our U.S. statutory tax rate for all years is 35%. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2010 was lower than our statutory rate of 35% primarily due to favorable rate differentials on foreign earnings, benefits associated with income from unincorporated joint ventures and several favorable discrete tax items including the true-up of prior year U.S. income taxes and utilization of additional U.S. foreign tax credits during 2010. Our effective tax rate for 2009 was lower than our statutory rate of 35% primarily due to favorable rate differentials on foreign earnings compared to the U.S. tax rate, the favorable final determination of previously estimated 2008 domestic and foreign taxable income made in connection with the preparation and filing of our 2008 consolidated tax returns and the benefit associated with income on unincorporated joint ventures. Our effective tax rate for 2008 exceeded our statutory rate primarily due to certain dividends from foreign affiliates, the non-deductible fine resulting from our settlement of the FCPA investigation in Nigeria and domestic state taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2008, our valuation allowance was reduced from $33 million to $19 million primarily as a result of utilizing foreign branch net operating losses for which a valuation allowance had been previously established in prior years.

Income from discontinued operations was zero for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and $11 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Discontinued operations primarily represent revenues and gain on the sale of our 51% interest in DML in June 2007. In 2008, we recognized a tax benefit of $11 million related to foreign tax credits upon completion of a tax pool study related to DML.

Backlog

Backlog represents the dollar amount of revenue we expect to realize in the future as a result of performing work on contracts awarded and in progress. We generally include total expected revenue in backlog when a contract is awarded and/or the scope is definitized. For long-term contracts, the amount included in backlog is limited to five years. In many instances, arrangements included in backlog are complex, nonrepetitive in nature, and may fluctuate depending on expected revenue and timing. Where contract duration is indefinite, projects included in backlog are limited to the estimated amount of expected revenue within the following twelve months. Certain contracts provide maximum dollar limits, with actual authorization to perform work under the contract being agreed upon on a periodic basis with the customer. In these arrangements, only the amounts authorized are included in backlog. For projects where we act solely in a project management capacity, we only include our management fee revenue of each project in backlog.

For our projects related to unconsolidated joint ventures, we have included in the table below our percentage ownership of the joint venture’s revenue in backlog. However, because these projects are accounted for under the equity method, only our share of future earnings from these projects will be recorded in our revenue. Our backlog for projects related to unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $1.7 billion at December 31, 2010 and $2.1 billion at December 31, 2009. We also consolidate joint ventures which are majority-owned and controlled or are variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. Our backlog included in the table below for projects related to consolidated joint ventures with noncontrolling interests includes 100% of the backlog associated with those joint ventures and totaled $4.4 billion at December 31, 2010 and $4.6 billion at December 31, 2009.

All backlog is attributable to firm orders as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. Backlog attributable to unfunded government orders was $137 million at December 31, 2010 and $326 million as of December 31, 2009.

We estimate that as of December 31, 2010, 55% of our backlog will be executed within one year. As of December 31, 2010, 21% of our backlog was attributable to fixed-price contracts and 79% was attributable to cost-reimbursable contracts. For contracts that contain both fixed-price and cost-reimbursable components, we classify the components as either fixed-price or cost-reimbursable according to the composition of the contract except for smaller contracts where we characterize the entire contract based on the predominant component.

Hydrocarbons backlog declined approximately $1.2 billion primarily because of a decline in Gas Monetization backlog of approximately $1.5 billion due to work performed on the Gorgon LNG, Skikda LNG, Pearl GTL and other projects and with no new significant awards in 2010. These declines were partially offset by new awards of $495 million in our Oil & Gas and Technology business unit which was partially offset by $232 million of work performed on existing projects in our Oil & Gas business unit as well as certain ammonia and refining projects in our Technology business unit.

IGP Backlog decreased by $384 million primarily as a result of work performed on existing projects of approximately $1 billion which were partially offset by new awards of $654 million primarily in North America Government and Defense and International Government and Defense as well as the acquisition of Roberts & Schafer which contributed approximately $214 million to the increase in I&M backlog. Work performed in our North America Government and Defense was approximately $485 million in 2010, primarily related to our LogCAP III and other support projects partially offset by new awards of $187 million on our LogCAP IV and other projects. International Government and Defence work performed totaled $433 million primarily related to Allenby and Connaught, CONLOG, Afghanistan ISP and TDA projects, which was partially offset by new awards in 2010, primarily from the NAMSA projects for the U.K. MoD.

Services backlog declined $531 million primarily due to work performed of approximately $1.1 billion on various construction projects in the U.S. and Canada. These declines were partially offset by new awards of approximately $593 million which include major awards in our Building Group and Industrial Services product lines.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our operating cash flow can vary significantly from year to year and are affected by the mix, terms and percentage of completion of our engineering and construction projects. We often receive cash through advanced billings to our customers on our larger engineering and construction projects and those of our consolidated joint ventures. Joint venture cash balances are limited to joint venture activities and are not available for use on other projects, general cash needs or distributions to us without approval of the board of directors of the respective joint ventures. As client cash advances are used in execution of the project, they are recovered through regular or milestone billings to the customer. To the extent our net investment in the operating assets of a project is greater than available project cash balance, we may utilize other cash on hand or availability under our Revolving Credit Facility to satisfy any periodic operating cash requirements.

Engineering and construction projects generally require us to provide credit enhancements to our customers including letters of credit, surety bonds or guarantees. Our ability to obtain new project awards in the future may be dependent on our ability to maintain our letter of credit and surety bonding capacity and the timely release of existing letters of credit and surety bonds. As the need arises, future projects will be supported by letters of credit issued under our Revolving Credit Facility or arranged with our banks on a bilateral basis. We believe we have adequate letter of credit capacity under our existing Revolving Credit Facility and bilateral lines of credit to support our operations for the next twelve months. Additionally, we believe our current surety bond capacity is adequate to support our current backlog of projects for the next twelve months.

Cash and equivalents totaled $786 million at December 31, 2010 and $941 million at December 31, 2009, which included $136 million and $236 million, respectively, of cash held by our joint ventures that we consolidate for accounting purposes. Joint venture cash balances are limited to joint venture activities and are not available for use on other projects, general cash needs or distributions to us without approval of the board of directors of the respective joint ventures and we expect to use the cash to pay project costs.

As of December 31, 2010, we had restricted cash of $21 million related to the amounts held in deposit with certain banks to collateralize standby letters of credit, of which $11 million is included in “Other current assets” and $10 million is included in “Other assets” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Our excess cash is generally invested in either time deposits with commercial banks with an Individual Rating of B or better by Fitch or money market funds governed under rule 2a-7 of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940 and rated AAA by Standard & Poor’s or Aaa by Moody’s Investors Service, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, substantially all of our excess cash is held in time deposits with commercial banks with the primary objectives of preserving capital and maintaining liquidity.

We generally do not provide U.S. federal and state income taxes on the accumulated but undistributed earnings of non-United States subsidiaries except for certain entities in Mexico and certain other joint ventures. Taxes are provided as necessary with respect to earnings that are considered not permanently reinvested. For all other non-U.S. subsidiaries, no U.S. taxes are provided because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely to finance foreign activities. These accumulated but undistributed foreign earnings could be subject to additional tax if remitted, or deemed remitted, as a dividend. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable; however, the potential foreign tax credit associated with the deferred income would be available to reduce the resulting U.S. tax liabilities.

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 3, 2009, we entered into a syndicated, unsecured $1.1 billion three-year revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with Citibank, N.A., as agent, and a group of banks and institutional lenders replacing the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, which was terminated at the same time as the closing of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is used for working capital and letters of credit for general corporate purposes and expires in November 2012. While there is no sub-limit for letters of credit under this facility, letters of credit fronting commitments at December 31, 2009 totaled $830 million and was expanded in January 2010 to $880 million, which we would seek to expand if necessary. Amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates based either on the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3%, or a base rate plus 2%, with the base rate being equal to the highest of reference bank’s publicly announced base rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or LIBOR plus 1%. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for fees on the letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility of 1.5% for performance and commercial letters of credit and 3% for all others. We are also charged an issuance fee of 0.05% for the issuance of letters of credit, a per annum commitment fee of 0.625% for any unused portion of the credit line, and a per annum fronting commitment fee of 0.25%. As of December 31, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings/cash drawings and $278 million in letters of credit

issued and outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility includes financial covenants requiring maintenance of a ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA of 3.5 to 1 and a minimum consolidated net worth of $2 billion plus 50% of consolidated net income for each quarter ending after September 30, 2009 plus 100% of any increase in shareholders’ equity attributable to the sale of equity securities. At December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with these ratios and other covenants mentioned below.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains a number of covenants restricting, among other things, our ability to incur additional liens and sales of our assets, as well as limiting the amount of investments we can make. The Revolving Credit Facility also permits us, among other things, to declare and pay shareholder dividends and/or engage in equity repurchases not to exceed $400 million in the aggregate during the term of the facility and to incur indebtedness in respect of purchase money obligations, capitalized leases and refinancing or renewals secured by liens upon or in property acquired, constructed or improved in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200 million. Our subsidiaries may incur unsecured indebtedness not to exceed $100 million in aggregate outstanding principal amount at any time.

Nonrecourse Project Finance Debt

Fasttrax Limited, a joint venture in which we indirectly own a 50% equity interest with an unrelated partner, was awarded a contract in 2001 with the U.K. MoD to provide a fleet of 92 heavy equipment transporters (“HETs”) to the British Army. Under the terms of the arrangement, Fasttrax Limited operates and maintains the HET fleet for a term of 22 years. The purchase of the HETs by the joint venture was financed through a series bonds secured by the assets of Fasttrax Limited totaling approximately £84.9 million and are non-recourse to KBR and its partner of which £12.2 million provided equity bridge financing. The bridge financing was replaced in 2005 with combined equity capital contributions and subordinated loans from the joint venture partners. The bonds are guaranteed by Ambac Assurance UK Ltd under a policy that guarantees the schedule of the principle and interest payments to the bond trustee in the event of non-payment by Fasttrax Limited.

The guaranteed secured bonds were issued in two classes consisting of Class A 3.5% Index Linked Bonds in the amount of £56 million and Class B 5.9% Fixed Rate Bonds in the amount of £16.7 million. Payments on both classes of bonds commenced in March 2005 and are due in semi-annual installments over the term of the bonds which end in 2021. Subordinated notes payable to our 50% partner initially bear interest at 11.25% increasing to 16% over the term of the note through 2025. Payments on the subordinated debt commenced in March 2006 and are due in semi-annual installments over the term of the note.

The combined principal installments for both classes of bonds and subordinated notes, including inflation adjusted bond indexation, due for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and thereafter total approximately £6 million, £6 million, £6 million and £61 million, respectively. For additional information see Note 15 of our consolidated financial statements.

Since the inception of the project, we accounted for our investment in the project entity using the equity method of accounting. As a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-17 – Consolidation (Topic 810) “Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises with Variable Interest Entities”, effective January 1, 2010 we concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of Fasttrax Limited because we control the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity. We applied the requirements of FASB ASC 810 on a prospective basis from the date of adoption. As such, our consolidated financial statements for 2010 include the accounts of Fasttrax Limited and accordingly, the cash and equivalents, property, plant and equipment, and the non-recourse project financing debt. The secured bonds are an obligation of Fasttrax Limited and will never be a debt obligation of KBR because they are non-recourse to the joint venture partners. Accordingly, in the event of a default on the term loan, the lenders may only look to the resources of Fasttrax Limited for repayment.

Operating activities. Cash provided by operations totaled $549 million in 2010, compared to cash used by operations of $36 million in 2009. Of this, approximately $93 million represented distributions of earnings from our unconsolidated joint ventures and $116 million represented advances from our clients. Cash provided by operating activities during 2010 was primarily driven by strong overall earnings, cash cycle improvements, and active management of working capital to support project execution activities. On a consolidated basis, working capital, excluding cash, decreased by approximately $280 million during the year, which included a $180 million current obligation payable to JGC for it’s 44.94% interest in MWKL. Cash held by joint ventures that we consolidate for accounting purposes decreased by approximately $100 million.

Cash used in operating activities was $36 million in 2009, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $124 million in 2008. Net income in 2009 included a non-cash gain of approximately $117 million, net of tax, related to the favorable award on the EPC 1 project arbitration.

Cash provided by operating activities of $124 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 included payments from PEMEX related to the EPC 22 and EPC 28 arbitration awards totaling $185 million and $121 million in dividends from unconsolidated joint ventures, In addition, working capital requirements for our Iraq-related work decreased from $239 at December 31, 2007 to $76 at December 31, 2008, generating cash of approximately $163 million. Offsetting these cash increases were decreases in cash of approximately $342 million on our consolidated joint venture projects and a contract in progress. We also made contributions to our international and domestic pension plans of $74 million during 2008.

Investing activities. Cash used in investing activities for 2010 totaled $397 million compared to $9 million during 2009. Cash used in investing activities was primarily related to the net cash paid of approximately $299 million for the acquisition of R&S and Energo Engineering. Capital expenditures were $66 million in 2010. During 2010, we paid $20 million for the exclusive right to certain technology under a 25-year licensing arrangement. We also made investments totaling $12 million in several equity method joint ventures.

Cash used in investing activities for 2009 totaled $9 million compared to $556 million during 2008. The decline in cash used in investing activities was due to lower business acquisition activity in 2009 compared to 2008. We acquired BE&K in July 2008 for $494 million, net of cash acquired and post closing purchase price adjustments. In 2008, we also acquired TGI, Catalyst Interactive and Wabi Development Corporation for a combined purchase price of approximately $32 million, net of cash received. Capital expenditures were $41 million and $37 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively. In 2009, we received proceeds of approximately $32 million primarily from one of our joint ventures that executed a pro-rata share repurchase transaction, which partially offset our 2009 capital expenditures.

Financing activities. Cash used in financing activities for 2010 totaled $336 million and included $233 million of payments to repurchase approximately 10 million shares of our common stock, $91 million related to distributions to noncontrolling interests of several of our consolidated joint ventures, and $32 million related to dividend payments to shareholders. These payments were partially offset by return of cash used to collateralize standby letters of credit of approximately $28 million.

Cash used in financing activities was $166 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 and included $54 million for distributions to noncontrolling interests of several of our consolidated joint ventures, $32 million related to dividend payments to our shareholders and $31 million for payments to reacquire 2 million shares of our common stock. Additionally, our financing activities included $44 million related to the net cash collateralization of our standby letters of credit in accordance with certain agreements.

Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled $244 million which was almost entirely

related to $196 million of payments to reacquire 8.4 million shares of our common stock and $53 million related to dividend payments to our shareholders and to minority shareholders of several of our consolidated joint ventures.

Future sources of cash. Future sources of cash include cash flows from operations, including cash advances from our clients and cash derived from further cash cycle improvements, and advances under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Future uses of cash.Future uses of cash will primarily relate to working capital requirements and acquisitions. In addition, we will use cash to fund capital expenditures, pension obligations, operating leases, cash dividends, share repurchases and various other obligations as they arise. Our capital expenditures will be focused primarily on information technology, real estate and equipment/facilities. See “Off balance sheet arrangements – commitments and other contractual obligations” below for a schedule of contractual obligations and other long-term liabilities that will require the use of cash.

Off balance sheet arrangements

Letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees.In connection with certain projects, we are required to provide letters of credit or surety bonds to our customers. Letters of credit are provided to customers in the ordinary course of business to guarantee advance payments from certain customers, support future joint venture funding commitments and to provide performance and completion guarantees on engineering and construction contracts. We have $1.9 billion in committed and uncommitted lines of credit to support letters of credit and as of December 31, 2010, and we had utilized $623 million of our credit capacity, including $37 million in letters of credit issued and outstanding under various facilities that are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by Halliburton. Surety bonds are also posted under the terms of certain contracts primarily related to state and local government projects to guarantee our performance.

The $623 million in letters of credit outstanding on KBR lines of credit was comprised of $278 million issued under our Revolving Credit Facility and $345 million issued under uncommitted bank lines at December 31, 2010. Of the total letters of credit outstanding, $274 relate to our joint venture operations and $22 million of the letters of credit have terms that could entitle a bank to require additional cash collateralization on demand. Approximately $182 million of the $278 million letters of credit issued under our Revolving Credit Facility have expiry dates close to or beyond the maturity date of the facility. Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, if the original maturity date of November 2, 2012 is not extended then the issuing banks may require that we provide cash collateral for these extended letters of credit no later than 95 days prior to the original maturity date. As the need arises, future projects will be supported by letters of credit issued under our Revolving Credit Facility or arranged on a bilateral basis. We believe we have adequate letter of credit capacity under our existing Revolving Credit Facility and bilateral lines of credit to support our operations for the next twelve months.

Halliburton has guaranteed certain letters of credit and surety bonds and provided parent company guarantees primarily related to the performance and financial commitments on the Allenby and Connaught project. We expect to cancel these letters of credit and surety bonds as we complete the underlying projects. Since the separation from Halliburton, we have arranged lines with multiple surety companies for our own standalone capacity. Since the arrangement of this stand alone capacity, we have been sourcing surety bonds from our own capacity without additional Halliburton credit support.

We agreed to pay Halliburton a quarterly carry charge, which has increased in accordance with our extension provisions, for its guarantees of our outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds and agreed to indemnify Halliburton for all losses in connection with the outstanding credit support instruments and any new credit support instruments relating to our business for which Halliburton may become obligated. In 2010, we reduced the amount of letters of credit outstanding under Halliburton facilities from $289 million to $37 million primarily through transfers to existing uncommitted bank lines of KBR. During 2009 we paid an annual fee to Halliburton calculated at 0.40% of the outstanding performance-related letters of credit, 0.80% of the outstanding financial-related letters of credit guaranteed by Halliburton and 0.25% of the outstanding guaranteed surety bonds. Effective January 1, 2010, the annual fee increased to 0.90%, 1.65% and 0.50% of the outstanding performance-related and financial-related outstanding issued letters of credit and the outstanding guaranteed surety bonds, respectively.

The current capacity of our Revolving Credit Facility is adequate for us to issue letters of credit necessary to replace all outstanding letters of credit issued under the various Halliburton facilities or those guaranteed by Halliburton and issue letters of credit for projects that we are currently pursuing should they be awarded to us.

Commitments and other contractual obligations. The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations and other long-term liabilities as of December 31, 2010:

(a)

Represents our obligation to a former noncontrolling interest for the acquisition of the remaining 44.94% interest in MWKL.

(b)

The purchase obligations disclosed above do not include purchase obligations that we enter into with vendors in the normal course of business that support existing contracting arrangements with our customers. The purchase obligations with our vendors can span several years depending on the duration of the projects. In general, the costs associated with those purchase obligations are expensed to correspond with the revenue earned on the related projects.

(c)

The pension funding obligation comprised of payments related to our agreement with the trustees of one of our international plans to contribute £34 million over a 10-year period beginning in 2010 at an annual rate of approximately £5.5 million during the first three years and £2.5 million thereafter. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2010, we agreed with the trustees of another international plan to contribute £25 million by January 31, 2011, and £130 million over a 13-year period beginning in 2011 at an annual rate of £10 million. The foreign pension funding obligations were converted to U.S. dollars using the conversion rate as of December 31, 2010.

(d)

Uncertain tax positions recorded pursuant to FASB ASC 740 – Income Taxes were $95 million, excluding $23 million in interest and penalties. The ultimate timing of when these obligations will be settled cannot be determined with reasonable assurance and have been excluded from the table above. Refer to Note 11 in our consolidated financial statements.

The table above does not include our consolidated non-recourse project-finance debt of a VIE of $101 million. See Note 15 for additional information.

Lease obligations.In February 2010, we executed two lease amendments for office space in two separate high-rise office buildings in Houston, Texas for the purpose of significantly expanding our current leased office space and to extend the original term of these leases to June 30, 2030. In the third quarter of 2010, we executed an additional lease agreement for office space located in an office building in Houston, Texas for the purpose of expanding our leased office space. The non-cancelable lease term expires on December 31, 2018.

Other obligations.We had commitments to provide funds to our privately financed projects of $33 million as of December 31, 2010 primarily related to future equity funding on our Allenby and Connaught project. Our commitments to fund our privately financed projects are supported by letters of credit as described above. At December 31, 2010, approximately $17 million of the $33 million in commitments will become due within one year.

We have an obligation to fund estimated losses on our uncompleted contracts which totaled $26 million at December 31, 2010. Approximately $24 million of this amount relates to our Escravos project, the majority of which is expected to be funded in 2011.

Other factors affecting liquidity

Government claims. Included in receivables in our balance sheets are unapproved claims for costs incurred under various government contracts totaling $163 million at December 31, 2010 of which $125 million is included in “Account receivable” and $38 million is included in “Unbilled receivables on uncompleted contracts.” Unapproved claims relate to contracts where our costs have exceeded the customer’s funded value of the task order. The unapproved claims at December 31, 2010 include approximately $123 million resulting from the de-obligation of 2004 and 2005 funding on certain task orders that were also subject to Form 1 notices relating to certain DCAA audit issues discussed above. This balance includes $71 million that was de-obligated in 2010 which consists of funds nearing the 5-year expiration date. We believe such

disputed costs will be resolved in our favor at which time the customer will be required to obligate funds from appropriations for the year in which resolution occurs. The remaining unapproved claims balance of approximately $40 million represents primarily costs for which incremental funding is pending in the normal course of business. The majority of costs in this category are normally funded within several months after the costs are incurred. The unapproved claims outstanding at December 31, 2010 are considered to be probable of collection and have been previously recognized as revenue.

Liquidated damages.Many of our engineering and construction contracts have milestone due dates that must be met or we may be subject to penalties for liquidated damages if claims are asserted and we were responsible for the delays. These generally relate to specified activities that must be met within a project by a set contractual date or achievement of a specified level of output or throughput of a plant we construct. Each contract defines the conditions under which a customer may make a claim for liquidated damages. However, in many instances, liquidated damages are not asserted by the customer, but the potential to do so is used in negotiating claims and closing out the contract.

Based upon our evaluation of our performance and other legal analysis, we have not accrued for possible liquidated damages related to several projects, totaling $20 million at December 31, 2010 (including amounts related to our share of unconsolidated subsidiaries), that we could incur based upon completing the projects as currently forecasted.

Halliburton indemnities. Halliburton has agreed to indemnify us and certain of our greater than 50%-owned subsidiaries for fines or other monetary penalties or direct monetary damages, including disgorgement, as a result of claims made or assessed against us by U.S. and certain foreign governmental authorities or a settlement thereof, relating to investigations under the FCPA or analogous applicable foreign statutes related investigations with respect to the construction and subsequent expansion by TSKJ of a natural gas liquefaction complex in Nigeria. Halliburton has also agreed to indemnify us for out-of-pocket cash costs and expenses, or cash settlement or cash arbitration awards in lieu thereof, we may incur as a result of the replacement of certain subsea flow-line bolts installed in connection with the Barracuda-Caratinga project. See Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

In February 2009, one of our subsidiaries pled guilty to violating and conspiring to violate the FCPA arising from the intent to bribe various Nigerian officials through commissions paid to agents working on behalf of TSKJ. The terms of the plea agreement with the DOJ called for the payment of a criminal penalty of $402 million, of which Halliburton was obligated to pay $382 million under the terms of the indemnity while we were obligated to pay $20 million in quarterly payments over a two-year period ending October 2010. We also agreed to a judgment by the SEC requiring, Halliburton and us, jointly and severally, to make payments totaling $177 million, all of which were paid by Halliburton under the terms of the indemnity. As of December 31, 2010 Halliburton has paid all installments to the DOJ and SEC, and such payments totaled $559 million. Of the $559 million in total payments, Halliburton paid $142 million in 2010 and $417 million in 2009, which have been reflected in the accompanying statement of cash flows as noncash operating activities. On October 1, 2010, we made the final payment to the DOJ related to our portion of the settlement agreement.

Financial Instruments Market Risk

We invest excess cash and equivalents in short-term securities, primarily overnight time deposits, which carry a fixed rate of return per a given tenor. Additionally, a substantial portion of our cash balances are maintained in foreign countries.

We have foreign currency exchange rate risk resulting from our international operations. We do not comprehensively hedge the exposure to currency rate changes; however, we selectively manage these exposures through the use of derivative instruments to mitigate our market risk from these exposures. The objective of our risk management program is to protect our cash flows related to sales or purchases of goods and services from market fluctuations in currency rates. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. We generally utilize currency options and forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2010, we had forward foreign exchange contracts of up to 41 months in duration to exchange major world currencies. The total gross notional amount of these contracts at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $403 million, $406 million, and $274 million, respectively. These contracts had fair value asset of $6 million and $3 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and fair value liability of approximately $1 million at December 31, 2008.

Transactions with Former Parent

In connection with our initial public offering in November 2006 and the separation of our business from Halliburton, we entered into various agreements, including, among others, a master separation agreement, transition services agreements and a tax sharing agreement. Pursuant to our master separation agreement, we agreed to indemnify Halliburton for, among other matters, all past, present and future liabilities related to our business and operations. We agreed to indemnify Halliburton for liabilities under various outstanding and certain additional credit support instruments relating to our businesses and for liabilities under litigation matters related to our business. Halliburton agreed to indemnify us for, among other things, liabilities unrelated to our business, for certain other agreed matters relating to the investigation of FCPA and related corruption allegations and the Barracuda-Caratinga project and for other litigation matters related to Halliburton’s business. See“MD&A – Legal Proceedings” for further discussion of matters related to the investigation of FCPA and related corruption allegations and the Barracuda-Caratinga project arbitration. Under the transition services agreements, Halliburton provided various interim corporate support services to us and we provided various interim corporate support services to Halliburton. The tax sharing agreement provides for certain allocations of U.S. income tax liabilities and other agreements between us and Halliburton with respect to tax matters.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, KBR had a $43 million and a $53 million balance payable to Halliburton, respectively, which consists of amounts KBR owes Halliburton primarily for estimated outstanding income taxes under the tax sharing agreement. See Note 11 for further discussion of amounts outstanding under the tax sharing agreement.

Transactions with Joint Ventures

We perform many of our projects through incorporated and unincorporated joint ventures. In addition to participating as a joint venture partner, we often provide engineering, procurement, construction, operations or maintenance services to the joint venture as a subcontractor. Where we provide services to a joint venture that we control and therefore consolidate for financial reporting purposes, we eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses on such transactions. In situations where we account for our interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting, we do not eliminate any portion of our revenues or expenses. We recognize the profit on our services provided to joint ventures that we consolidate and joint ventures that we record under the equity method of accounting primarily using the percentage-of-completion method.

Our total revenue and profit from services provided to our unconsolidated joint ventures recorded in our consolidated statements of income is presented in the table below:

Information related to new accounting standards is described in Note 18 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

U.S. Government Matters

Award fees

In accordance with the provisions of the LogCAP III contract, we earn profits on our services rendered based on a combination of a fixed fee plus award fees granted by our customer. Both fees are measured as a percentage rate applied to estimated and negotiated costs. Our customer is contractually obligated to periodically convene Award-Fee Boards, which are comprised of individuals who have been designated to assist the Award Fee Determining Official (“AFDO”) in making award fee determinations. Award fees are based on evaluations of our performance using criteria set forth in the contract, which include non-binding monthly evaluations made by our customers in the field of operations. Although these criteria have historically been used by the Award-Fee Boards in reaching their recommendations, the amounts of award fees are determined at the sole discretion of the AFDO.

On February 19, 2010, KBR was notified by the AFDO that a determination had been made regarding the Company’s performance for the period January 2008 to April 2008 in Iraq. The notice stated that based on information received from various Department of Defense individuals and organizations after the date of the evaluation board held in June 2008, the AFDO made a unilateral decision to grant no award fees for the period of performance from January 2008 to April 2008.

As a result of the AFDO’s adverse determination, in the fourth quarter of 2009, we reversed award fees that had previously been estimated as earned and recognized as revenue. Until we are able to reliably estimate fees to be awarded in the future, we will recognize award fees on the LogCAP III contract in the period they are awarded. In May 2010, we recognized an award fee of approximately $60 million representing approximately 47% of the available award fee pool for the period of performance from May 2008 through August 2009 which we recorded as an increase to revenue in the second quarter of 2010. In September 2010, we recognized an award fee of approximately $34 million representing approximately 66% of the available award fee pool for the period of performance from September 2009 through February 2010 on task orders in Iraq and from September 2009 through May 2010 on task orders in Afghanistan, which we recorded as an increase to revenue in the third quarter of 2010. We expect to receive award notifications for the subsequent performance periods through August 2010 in the first quarter of 2011.

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2009, we recognized award fees on the LogCAP III contract using an estimated accrual of the amounts to be awarded. Once task orders underlying the work are definitized and award fees are granted, we adjusted our estimate of award fees to the actual amounts earned. We used 72% as our accrual rate through the third quarter of 2009.

Government Compliance Matters

The negotiation, administration, and settlement of our contracts with the U.S. Government, consisting primarily of Department of Defense contracts, are subject to audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”), which serves in an advisory role to the Defense Contract Management Agency (“DCMA”) which is responsible for the administration of our contracts. The scope of these audits include, among other things, the allowability, allocability, and reasonableness of incurred costs, approval of annual overhead rates, compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) and Cost Accounting Standard (“CAS”) Regulations, compliance with certain unique contract clauses, and audits of certain aspects of our internal control systems. Issues identified during these audits are typically discussed and reviewed with us, and certain matters are included in audit reports issued by the DCAA, with its recommendations to our customer’s administrative contracting officer. We attempt to resolve all issues identified in audit reports by working directly with the DCAA and the administrative contracting officer (“ACO”). When agreement cannot be reached, DCAA may issue a Form 1, “Notice of Contract Costs Suspended and/or Disapproved,” which recommends withholding the previously paid amounts or it may issue an advisory report to the ACO. KBR is permitted to respond to these documents and provide additional support. At December 31, 2010, we had open Form 1’s from the DCAA recommending suspension of payments totaling approximately $319 million associated with our contract costs incurred in prior years, of which approximately $160 million has been withheld from our current billings. As a consequence, for certain of these matters, we have withheld approximately $81 million from our subcontractors under the payment terms of those contracts. In addition, we have outstanding demand letters received from our customer requesting that we remit a total of $84 million of disapproved costs for which we currently do not intend to pay. We continue to work with our ACO’s, the DCAA and our subcontractors to resolve these issues. However, for certain of these matters, we have filed claims with the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals or the United States Court of Federal Claims.

KBR excludes from billings to the U.S. Government costs that are expressly unallowable, or mutually agreed to be unallowable, or not allocable to government contracts per applicable regulations. Revenue recorded for government contract work is reduced for our estimate of potentially refundable costs related to issues that may be categorized as disputed or

unallowable as a result of cost overruns or the audit process. Our estimates of potentially unallowable costs are based upon, among other things, our internal analysis of the facts and circumstances, terms of the contracts and the applicable provisions of the FAR, quality of supporting documentation for costs incurred, and subcontract terms as applicable. From time to time, we engage outside counsel to advise us on certain matters in determining whether certain costs are allowable. We also review our analysis and findings with the ACO as appropriate. In some cases, we may not reach agreement with the DCAA or the ACO regarding potentially unallowable costs which may result in our filing of claims in various courts such as the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (“ASBCA”)or the United States Court of Federal Claims (“COFC”). We only include amounts in revenue related to disputed and potentially unallowable costs when we determine it is probable that such costs will result in revenue. We generally do not recognize additional revenue for disputed or potentially unallowable costs for which revenue has been previously reduced until we reach agreement with the DCAA and/or the ACO that such costs are allowable.

Certain issues raised as a result of contract audits and other investigations are discussed below.

Private Security. In February 2007, we received a Form 1 notice from the Department of the Army informing us of their intent to adjust payments under the LogCAP III contract associated with the cost incurred for the years 2003 through 2006 by certain of our subcontractors to provide security to their employees. Based on that notice, the Army withheld its initial assessment of $20 million. The Army based its initial assessment on one subcontract wherein, based on communications with the subcontractor, the Army estimated 6% of the total subcontract cost related to the private security costs. The Army previously indicated that not all task orders and subcontracts have been reviewed and that they may make additional adjustments. In August 2009, we received a Form 1 notice from the DCAA disapproving an additional $83 million of costs incurred by us and our subcontractors to provide security during the same periods. Since that time, the Army withheld an additional $24 million in payments from us bringing the total payments withheld to approximately $44 million as of December 31, 2010 out of the Form 1 notices issued to date of $103 million.

The Army indicated that they believe our LogCAP III contract prohibits us and our subcontractors from billing costs of privately acquired security. We believe that, while the LogCAP III contract anticipates that the Army will provide force protection to KBR employees, it does not prohibit us or any of our subcontractors from using private security services to provide force protection to KBR or subcontractor personnel. In addition, a significant portion of our subcontracts are competitively bid fixed price subcontracts. As a result, we do not receive details of the subcontractors’ cost estimate nor are we legally entitled to it. Further, we have not paid our subcontractors any additional compensation for security services. Accordingly, we believe that we are entitled to reimbursement by the Army for the cost of services provided by us or our subcontractors, even if they incurred costs for private force protection services. Therefore, we believe that the Army’s position that such costs are unallowable and that they are entitled to withhold amounts incurred for such costs is wrong as a matter of law.

In 2007, we provided at the Army’s request information that addresses the use of armed security either directly or indirectly charged to LogCAP III. In October 2007, we filed a claim to recover the original $20 million that was withheld which was deemed denied as a result of no response from the contracting officer. To date, we have filed appeals to the ASBCA to recover $44 million of the amounts withheld from us which is currently in the early stages of discovery. We believe these sums were properly billed under our contract with the Army. At this time, we believe the likelihood that a loss related to this matter has been incurred is remote. We have not adjusted our revenues or accrued any amounts related to this matter. This matter is also the subject of a separate claim filed by the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) for alleged violation of the False Claims Act as discussed further below under the heading “Investigations, Qui Tams and Litigation.”

Containers. In June 2005, the DCAA recommended withholding certain costs associated with providing containerized housing for soldiers and supporting civilian personnel in Iraq. The DCMA agreed that the costs be withheld pending receipt of additional explanation or documentation to support the subcontract costs. We have not received a final determination by the DCMA and, as requested, we continue to provide information to the DCMA. As of December 31, 2010, approximately $26 million of costs have been suspended under Form 1 notices and withheld from us by our customer related to this matter of which $30 million has been withheld by us from our subcontractor. In April 2008, we filed a counterclaim in arbitration against our LogCAP III subcontractor, First Kuwaiti Trading Company, to recover approximately $51 million paid to the subcontractor for containerized housing as further described under the caption First Kuwaiti Trading Company arbitration below. We will continue working with the government and our subcontractor to resolve the remaining amounts. We believe that the costs incurred associated with providing containerized housing are reasonable and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter. We do not believe that we face a risk of significant loss from any disallowance of these costs in excess of the amounts we have withheld from subcontractors and the loss accruals we have recorded. At this time, the likelihood that a loss in excess of the amount accrued for this matter is remote.

Dining facilities.In 2006, the DCAA raised questions regarding our billings and price reasonableness of costs related to dining facilities in Iraq. We responded to the DCMA that our costs are reasonable. As of December 31, 2010, we have outstanding Form 1 notices from the DCAA disapproving $165 million in costs related to these dining facilities until such time we provide documentation to support the price reasonableness of the rates negotiated with our subcontractor and demonstrate that the amounts billed were in accordance with the contract terms. We believe the prices obtained for these services were reasonable and intend to vigorously defend ourselves on this matter. We filed claims in the U.S. COFC to recover $58 million of the $80 million withheld from us by the customer. The claims proceedings are in the discovery process and no trial date has been set but is expected to occur in 2011. With respect to questions raised regarding billing in accordance with contract terms, as of December 31, 2010, we believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur losses in excess of the amount accrued for possible subcontractor costs billed to the customer that were possibly not in accordance with contract terms. However, we are unable to estimate an amount of possible loss or range of possible loss in excess of the amount accrued related to any costs billed to the customer that were not in accordance with the contract terms. We believe the prices obtained for these services were reasonable, we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter and we do not believe we face a risk of significant loss from any disallowance of these costs in excess of amounts withheld from subcontractors. As of December 31, 2010, we had withheld $41 million in payments from our subcontractors pending the resolution of these matters with our customer.

Additionally, one of our subcontractors, Tamimi, filed for arbitration to recover approximately $35 million for payments we have withheld from them pending the resolution of the Form 1 notices with our customer. In December 2010, the arbitration panel ruled that the subcontract terms were not sufficient to hold retention from Tamimi for price reasonableness matters and awarded the subcontractor $35 million plus interest thereon and certain legal costs. As a result of the arbitration award, we recorded an additional charge of $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 associated with the interest due on the accrued retention payable to Tamimi and other costs awarded. We also have a claim pending in the U.S. COFC to recover the $35 million from the U.S. government and we believe it is probable that we will recover such amount.

Transportation costs. The DCAA, in performing its audit activities under the LogCAP III contract, raised a question about our compliance with the provisions of the Fly America Act. Subject to certain exceptions, the Fly America Act requires Federal employees and others performing U.S. Government-financed foreign air travel to travel by U.S. flag air carriers. There are times when we transported personnel in connection with our services for the U.S. military where we may not have been in compliance with the Fly America Act and its interpretations through the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the Comptroller General. As of December 31, 2010, we have accrued an estimate of the cost incurred for these potentially non-compliant flights with a corresponding reduction to revenue. The DCAA may consider additional flights to be noncompliant resulting in potential larger amounts of disallowed costs than the amount we have accrued. At this time, we cannot estimate a range of reasonably possible losses that may have been incurred, if any, in excess of the amount accrued. We will continue to work with our customer to resolve this matter.

Construction services. As of December 31, 2010, we have outstanding Form 1 notices from the DCAA disapproving approximately $25 million in costs related to work performed under our CONCAP III contract with the U.S. Navy to provide emergency construction services primarily to Government facilities damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. The DCAA claims the costs billed to the U.S. Navy primarily related to subcontract costs that were either inappropriately bid, included unallowable profit markup or were unreasonable. In April 2010, we met with the U.S. Navy in an attempt to settle the potentially unallowable costs. As a result of the meeting, approximately $7 million of the potentially unallowable costs was agreed in principle to be allowable and approximately $1 million unallowable. We are working with the ACO to finalize a settlement of this position. Settlement of the remaining disputed amounts is pending further discussions with the customer regarding the applicable provisions of the FAR and interpretations thereof, as well as providing additional supporting documentation to the customer. As of December 31, 2010, the U.S. Navy has withheld approximately $10 million from us. We believe we undertook adequate and reasonable steps to ensure that proper bidding procedures were followed and the amounts billed to the customer were reasonable and not in violation of the FAR. As of December 31, 2010, we have accrued our estimate of probable loss related to this matter; however, it is reasonably possible we could incur additional losses.

Investigations, Qui Tams and Litigation

The following matters relate to ongoing litigation or investigations involving U.S. government contracts.

McBride Qui Tam suit. In September 2006, we became aware of a qui tam action filed against us by a former employee alleging various wrongdoings in the form of overbillings of our customer on the LogCAP III contract. This case was originally filed pending the government’s decision whether or not to participate in the suit. In June 2006, the government formally declined to participate. The principal allegations are that our compensation for the provision of Morale, Welfare and Recreation (“MWR”) facilities under LogCAP III is based on the volume of usage of those facilities and that we

deliberately overstated that usage. In accordance with the contract, we charged our customer based on actual cost, not based on the number of users. It was also alleged that, during the period from November 2004 into mid-December 2004, we continued to bill the customer for lunches, although the dining facility was closed and not serving lunches. There are also allegations regarding housing containers and our provision of services to our employees and contractors. On July 5, 2007, the court granted our motion to dismiss the qui tam claims and to compel arbitration of employment claims including a claim that the plaintiff was unlawfully discharged. The majority of the plaintiff’s claims were dismissed but the plaintiff was allowed to pursue limited claims pending discovery and future motions. Substantially all employment claims were sent to arbitration under the Company’s dispute resolution program and were subsequently resolved in our favor. In January 2009, the relator filed an amended complaint which is nearing completion of the discovery process. Trial for this matter is expected in 2011. We believe the relator’s claim is without merit and that the likelihood that a loss has been incurred is remote. As of December 31, 2010, no amounts have been accrued.

First Kuwaiti Trading Company arbitration.In April 2008, First Kuwaiti Trading Company, one of our LogCAP III subcontractors, filed for arbitration of a subcontract under which KBR had leased vehicles related to work performed on our LogCAP III contract. First Kuwaiti alleged that we did not return or pay rent for many of the vehicles and seeks damages in the amount of $134 million. We filed a counterclaim to recover amounts which may ultimately be determined due to the Government for the $51 million in suspended costs as discussed in the preceding section of this footnote titled “Containers.” Three arbitration hearings took place in 2010 in Washington, D.C. primarily related to claims involving unpaid rents and damages on lost or unreturned vehicles totaling approximately $77 million for which the arbitration panel awarded $7 million to FKTC plus an unquantified amount for repair costs on certain vehicles, damages suffered as a result of late vehicle returns, and interest thereon, to be determined at a later date. No payments are expected to occur until all claims are arbitrated and awards finalized. The next arbitration hearing is scheduled to occur in May 2011 and we believe any damages ultimately awarded to First Kuwaiti will be billable under the LogCAP III contract. Accordingly, we have accrued amounts payable and a related unbilled receivable for the amounts awarded to First Kuwaiti pursuant to the terms of the contract.

Paul Morell, Inc. d/b/a The Event Source vs. KBR, Inc. TES is a former LogCAP III subcontractor who provided DFAC services at six sites in Iraq from mid-2003 to early 2004. TES sued KBR in Federal Court in Virginia for breach of contract and tortious interference with TES’s subcontractors by awarding subsequent DFAC contracts to the subcontractors. In addition, the Government withheld funds from KBR that KBR had submitted for reimbursement of TES invoices, and at that time, TES agreed that it was not entitled to payment until KBR was paid by the Government. Eventually KBR and the Government settled the dispute, and in turn KBR and TES agreed that TES would accept, as payment in full with a release of all other claims, the amount the Government paid to KBR for TES’s services. TES filed a suit to overturn that settlement and release, claiming that KBR misrepresented the facts. The trial was completed in June 2009 and in January 2010, the Federal Court issued an order against us in favor of TES in the amount of $15 million in actual damages and interest and $4 million in punitive damages relating to the settlement and release entered into by the parties in May 2005. As of December 31, 2010, we have recorded un-reimbursable expenses and a liability of $20 million for the full amount of the awarded damages. We have filed a notice of appeal with the Court.

Electrocution litigation. During 2008, a lawsuit was filed against KBR alleging that the Company was responsible for an electrical incident which resulted in the death of a soldier. This incident occurred at the Radwaniyah Palace Complex. It is alleged in the suit that the electrocution incident was caused by improper electrical maintenance or other electrical work. We intend to vigorously defend this matter. KBR denies that its conduct was the cause of the event and denies legal responsibility. The case was removed to Federal Court where motion to dismiss was filed. The court issued a stay in the discovery of the case, pending an appeal of certain pre-trial motions to dismiss that were previously denied. In August 2010, the Court of Appeal dismissed our appeal concluding it did not have jurisdiction. The case is currently proceeding with the discovery process. We are unable to determine the likely outcome nor can we estimate a range of potential loss, if any, related to this matter at this time. As of December 31, 2010, no amounts have been accrued.

Burn Pit litigation.KBR has been served with over 50 lawsuits in various states alleging exposure to toxic materials resulting from the operation of burn pits in Iraq or Afghanistan in connection with services provided by KBR under the LogCAP III contract. Each lawsuit has multiple named plaintiffs who purport to represent a large class of unnamed persons. The lawsuits primarily allege negligence, willful and wanton conduct, battery, intentional infliction of emotional harm, personal injury and failure to warn of dangerous and toxic exposures which has resulted in alleged illnesses for contractors and soldiers living and working in the bases where the pits are operated. All of the pending cases have been removed to Federal Court, the majority of which have been consolidated for multi-district litigation treatment. In the second quarter of 2010, we filed various motions including a motion to strike an amended consolidated petition filed by the plaintiffs and a motion to dismiss which the court has taken under advisement. In the September 2010, our motion to dismiss was denied. However, our motion to strike an amended consolidated petition filed by the plaintiffs was granted. The Court directed the parties to propose a plan for limited jurisdictional discovery. In December 2010, the Court stayed virtually all proceedings

pending a decision from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on three other cases involving the Political Question Doctrine and other jurisdictional issues. We intend to vigorously defend these matters. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and because the litigation is at a preliminary stage, we cannot at this time accurately predict the ultimate outcome nor can we estimate a range of potential loss, if any, related to this matter at this time. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2010, no amounts have been accrued.

Convoy Ambush Litigation.In April 2004, a fuel convoy in route from Camp Anaconda to Baghdad International Airport for the U.S. Army under our LogCAP III contract was ambushed resulting in deaths and severe injuries to truck drivers hired by KBR. In 2005, survivors of the drivers killed and those that were injured in the convoy, filed suit in state court in Houston, Texas against KBR and several of its affiliates, claiming KBR deliberately intended that the drivers in the convoy would be attacked and wounded or killed. The suit also alleges KBR committed fraud in its hiring practices by failing to disclose the dangers associated with working in the Iraq combat zone. In September 2006, the case was dismissed based upon the court’s ruling that it lacked jurisdiction because the case presented a non-justiciable political question. Subsequently, three additional suits were filed, arising out of insurgent attacks on other convoys that occurred in 2004 and were likewise dismissed as non-justiciable under the Political Question Doctrine.

The plaintiffs in all cases appealed the dismissals to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals which reversed and remanded the remaining cases to trial court. In July 2008, the trial court directed substantive discovery to commence including the re-submittal of dispositive motions on various grounds including the Defense Base Act and Political Question Doctrine. In February 2010, the trial court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, denying two of our motions to dismiss the case. In March 2010, the trial court granted in part and denied in part our third motion to dismiss the case. We filed appeals on all issues with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and have moved to stay all proceedings in the trial court pending the resolution of these appeals. The cases were removed from the trial docket and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has heard all previous motions filed by both parties. In September 2010, the DOJ filed a brief in support of KBR’s position that the cases should be dismissed in their entirety based upon the exclusive provisions in the Defense Base Act. We are unable to determine the likely outcome of these cases at this time. As of December 31, 2010, no amounts have been accrued nor can we estimate the amount of potential loss, if any.

DOJ False Claims Act complaint. On April 1, 2010, the DOJ filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia alleging certain violations of the False Claims Act related to the use of private security firms. The complaint alleges, among other things, that we made false or fraudulent claims for payment under the LogCAP III contract because we allegedly knew that they contained costs of services for or that included improper use of private security. We believe these sums were properly billed under our contract with the Army and that the use of private security was not prohibited under LogCAP III. We have filed motions to dismiss the complaint which are currently pending. We have not adjusted our revenues or accrued any amounts related to this matter.

Legal Proceedings

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigations

On February 11, 2009 KBR LLC, entered a guilty plea related to the Bonny Island investigation in the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Court”). KBR LLC pled guilty to one count of conspiring to violate the FCPA and four counts of violating the FCPA, all arising from the intent to bribe various Nigerian officials through commissions paid to agents working on behalf of TSKJ on the Bonny Island project. The plea agreement reached with the DOJ resolves all criminal charges in the DOJ’s investigation into the conduct of KBR LLC relating to the Bonny Island project, so long as the conduct was disclosed or known to DOJ before the settlement, including previously disclosed allegations of coordinated bidding. The plea agreement called for the payment of a criminal penalty of $402 million, of which Halliburton was obligated to pay $382 million under the terms of the indemnity in the master separation agreement, while we were obligated to pay $20 million. We also agreed to a period of organizational probation of three years, during which we retain a monitor who assesses our compliance with the plea agreement and evaluate our FCPA compliance program over the three year period, with periodic reports to the DOJ.

On the same date, the SEC filed a complaint and we consented to the filing of a final judgment against us in the Court. The complaint and the judgment were filed as part of a settled civil enforcement action by the SEC, to resolve the civil portion of the government’s investigation of the Bonny Island project. The complaint alleges civil violations of the FCPA’s antibribery and books-and-records provisions related to the Bonny Island project. The complaint enjoins us from violating the FCPA’s antibribery, books-and-records, and internal-controls provisions and requires Halliburton and KBR, jointly and severally, to make payments totaling $177 million, all of which has been paid by Halliburton pursuant to the indemnification under the master separation agreement. The judgment also requires us to retain an independent monitor on the same terms as

the plea agreement with the DOJ.

Under both the plea agreement and judgment, we have agreed to cooperate with the SEC and DOJ in their investigations of other parties involved in TSKJ and the Bonny Island project.

As a result of the settlement, in the fourth quarter 2008 we recorded the $402 million obligation to the DOJ and, accordingly, recorded a receivable from Halliburton for the $382 million that Halliburton was obligated to pay to the DOJ on our behalf. The resulting charge of $20 million to KBR was recorded in cost of sales of our Hydrocarbons business segment in the fourth quarter of 2008. Likewise, we recorded an obligation to the SEC in the amount of $177 million and a receivable from Halliburton in the same amount. As of December 31, 2010, Halliburton has paid all installments to the DOJ and SEC, and such payments totaled $559 million. Of the payments mentioned above, Halliburton paid $142 million in 2010 and $417 million in 2009, which have been reflected in the accompanying statement of cash flows as noncash operating activities. On October 1, 2010, we made the final payment to the DOJ related to our portion of the settlement agreement.

As part of the settlement of the FCPA matters, we agreed to the appointment of a corporate monitor for a period of up to three years. We proposed the appointment of a corporate monitor and received approval from the DOJ in the third quarter of 2009. We are responsible for paying the fees and expenses related to the monitor’s review and oversight of our policies and activities relating to compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations.

Because of the guilty plea by KBR LLC, we are subject to possible suspension or debarment of our ability to contract with governmental agencies of the United States and of foreign countries. We received written confirmation from the U.S. Department of the Army stating that it does not intend to suspend or debar KBR from DoD contracting as a result of the guilty plea by KBR LLC. The U.K. Ministry of Defence (“MoD”) has indicated that it does not have any grounds to debar the KBR subsidiary with which it contracts under its public procurement regulations. Although there has been a threat to challenge the MOD’s decision not to debar KBR, no formal proceedings have been issued since the threat was made. Therefore, we believe the risk of being debarred from contracting with the MOD is low. Although we do not believe we will be suspended or debarred of our ability to contract with other governmental agencies of the United States or any other foreign countries, suspension or debarment from the government contracts business would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and cash flow.

Under the terms of the MSA, Halliburton has agreed to indemnify us, and any of our greater than 50%-owned subsidiaries, for our share of fines or other monetary penalties or direct monetary damages, including disgorgement, as a result of claims made or assessed by a governmental authority of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Nigeria, Switzerland or Algeria or a settlement thereof relating to FCPA and related corruption allegations, which could involve Halliburton and us through The M. W. Kellogg Company, M. W. Kellogg Limited (“MWKL”), or their or our joint ventures in projects both in and outside of Nigeria, including the Bonny Island, Nigeria project. Halliburton’s indemnity will not apply to any other losses, claims, liabilities or damages assessed against us as a result of or relating to FCPA matters and related corruption allegations or to any fines or other monetary penalties or direct monetary damages, including disgorgement, assessed by governmental authorities in jurisdictions other than the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Nigeria, Switzerland or Algeria, or a settlement thereof, or assessed against entities such as TSKJ, in which we do not have an interest greater than 50%. As of December 31, 2010, we are not aware of any uncertainties related to the indemnity from Halliburton or any material limitations on our ability to recover amounts due to us for matters covered by the indemnity from Halliburton.

The U.K. Serious Fraud Office (“SFO”) conducted an investigation of activities by current and former employees of MWKL regarding the Bonny Island project. During the investigation process, MWKL self-reported to the SFO its corporate liability for corruption-related offenses arising out of the Bonny Island project and entered into a plea negotiation process under the “Attorney General’s Guidelines on Plea Discussions in Cases of Serious and Complex Fraud” issued by the Attorney General for England and Wales. In February 2011, MWKL reached a settlement with the SFO in which the SFO accepted that MWKL was not party to any unlawful conduct and assessed a civil penalty of approximately $11 million including interest and reimbursement of certain costs of the investigation. The settlement terms included a full release of all claims against MWKL, its current and former parent companies, subsidiaries and other related parties including their respective current or former officers, directors and employees with respect to the Bonny Island project. As of December 31, 2010, we recorded a liability to the SFO of $11 million included in “Other current liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheet. Due to the indemnity from Halliburton under the MSA, we recognized a receivable from Halliburton of approximately $6 million in “Due to former parent, net” in our consolidated balance sheet.

In 2010, we learned that charges were filed in Nigeria against various parties including Halliburton, KBR and TSKJ Nigeria Limited based on the facts associated with our settlement of the DOJ’s FCPA investigation of the Bonny Island project. Prior to KBR being served with a suit, Halliburton negotiated a settlement with the Federal Government of Nigeria without any

admission of liability or financial impact to KBR. With the settlement of this matter, all known investigations into the Bonny Island project have been concluded.

Commercial Agent Fees

We have both before and after the separation from our former parent used commercial agents on some of our large-scale international projects to assist in understanding customer needs, local content requirements, vendor selection criteria and processes and in communicating information from us regarding our services and pricing. Prior to separation, it was identified by our former parent in performing its investigation of anti-corruption activities that certain of these agents may have engaged in activities that were in violation of anti-corruption laws at that time and the terms of their agent agreements with us. Accordingly, we have ceased the receipt of services from and payment of fees to these agents. Fees for these agents are included in the total estimated cost for these projects at their completion. In connection with actions taken by U.S. Government authorities, we have removed certain unpaid agent fees from the total estimated costs in the period that we obtained sufficient evidence to conclude such agents clearly violated the terms of their contracts with us. In the first and third quarters of 2009, we reduced project cost estimates by $16 million and $5 million, respectively, as a result of making such determinations. In September 2010, we executed a final settlement agreement with one of our agents in question after the agent was reviewed and approved under our policies on business conduct. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the agent had, among other things, confirmed their understanding of and compliance with KBR’s policies on business conduct and represented that they have complied with anti-corruption laws as they relate to prior services provided to KBR. We negotiated final payment for fees to this agent on several projects in our Hydrocarbons segment resulting in an overall reduction of estimated project costs of approximately $60 million of which $42 million was recognized as a charge in the third quarter of 2010 and the remaining amount will be recognized over the remaining term of the project. As of December 31, 2010, the remaining unpaid agent fees of approximately $8 million are included in the estimated costs related to a completed project.

Barracuda-Caratinga Project Arbitration

In June 2000, we entered into a contract with Barracuda & Caratinga Leasing Company B.V., the project owner, to develop the Barracuda and Caratinga crude oilfields, which are located off the coast of Brazil. Petrobras is a contractual representative that controls the project owner. In November 2007, we executed a settlement agreement with the project owner to settle all outstanding project issues except for the bolts arbitration discussed below.

At Petrobras’ direction, we replaced certain bolts located on the subsea flowlines that failed through mid-November 2005, and we understand that additional bolts failed thereafter, which were replaced by Petrobras. These failed bolts were identified by Petrobras when it conducted inspections of the bolts. In March 2006, Petrobras notified us they submitted this matter to arbitration claiming $220 million plus interest for the cost of monitoring and replacing the defective stud bolts and, in addition, all of the costs and expenses of the arbitration including the cost of attorneys’ fees. The arbitration is being conducted in New York under the guidelines of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (“UNCITRAL”). Petrobras contends that all of the bolts installed on the project are defective and must be replaced.

During the time that we addressed outstanding project issues and during the conduct of the arbitration, KBR believed the original design specification for the bolts was issued by Petrobras, and as such, the cost resulting from any replacement would not be our responsibility. A hearing on legal and factual issues relating to liability with the arbitration panel was held in April 2008. In June 2009, we received an unfavorable ruling from the arbitration panel on the legal and factual issues as the panel decided the original design specification for the bolts originated with KBR and its subcontractors. The ruling concluded that KBR’s express warranties in the contract regarding the fitness for use of the design specifications for the bolts took precedence over any implied warranties provided by the project owner. Our potential exposure would include the costs of the bolts replaced to date by Petrobras, any incremental monitoring costs incurred by Petrobras and damages for any other bolts that are subsequently found to be defective. We believe that it is probable that we have incurred some liability in connection with the replacement of bolts that have failed during the contract warranty period which expired June 30, 2006. In May 2010, the arbitration tribunal heard arguments from both parties regarding various damage scenarios and estimates of the amount of KBR’s overall liability in this matter. The final arbitration arguments were made in August of 2010. Based on the damage estimates presented at this hearing, we estimate our minimum exposure, excluding interest, to be approximately $12 million representing our estimate for replacement of bolts that failed during the warranty period and were not replaced. As of December 31, 2010, we have a liability of $12 million and an indemnification receivable from Halliburton of $12 million. The amount of any remaining liability will be dependent upon the legal and factual issues to be determined by the arbitration tribunal in the final arbitration hearings. For the remaining bolts at dispute, we cannot determine that we have liability nor determine the amount of any such liability and no additional amounts have been accrued.

Any liability incurred by us in connection with the replacement of bolts that have failed to date or related to the remaining bolts at dispute in the bolt arbitration is covered by an indemnity from our former parent Halliburton. Under the MSA, Halliburton has agreed to indemnify us and any of our greater than 50%-owned subsidiaries as of November 2006, for all out-of-pocket cash costs and expenses (except for ongoing legal costs), or cash settlements or cash arbitration awards in lieu thereof, we may incur after the effective date of the master separation agreement as a result of the replacement of the subsea flowline bolts installed in connection with the Barracuda-Caratinga project. As of December 31, 2010, we are not aware of any uncertainties related to the indemnity from Halliburton or any material limitations on our ability to recover amounts due to us for matters covered by the indemnity from Halliburton. We do not believe any outcome of this matter will have a material adverse impact to our operating results or financial position.


Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Discussion about Market Risk


We invest excess cash and equivalents in short-term securities, primarily time deposits, which carry a fixed rate of return for a given duration of time. Additionally, a substantial portion of our cash balances are maintained in foreign countries.

We have foreign currency exchange rate risk resulting from our international operations. We selectively manage our exposure to currency rate changes through the use of derivative instruments to mitigate our market risk from these exposures. The objective of our risk management program is to protect our cash flows related to sales or purchases of goods and services from market fluctuations in currency rates. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. We generally utilize currency options and forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposures encountered in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2013, we had forward foreign exchange contracts of up to 26 months in duration to exchange major world currencies. The total gross notional amount of these contracts at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $771 million, $517 million and $352 million, respectively. These contracts had fair values of $1 million, $(1) million and $5 million at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Information relating to market risk is included in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the caption “Financial Instrument Market Risk” and Note 1421 of our consolidated financial statements and the information discussed therein is incorporated by reference into this Item 7A .

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


The Board of Directors and Shareholders

KBR, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of KBR, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20102013 and 2009,2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010.2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of KBR, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20102013 and 2009,2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010,2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for variable interest entities on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2010.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), KBR, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 23, 201127, 2014 expressed an unqualifiedadverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1. Description of Company and Significant Accounting Policies


KBR, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed on March 21, 2006.2006 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas. KBR, Inc. and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively “KBR”referred to herein as "KBR", "the Company", "we", "us" or "our") is a global provider of engineering, procurement, construction, construction management, technology licensing, operations and maintenance and other support services company supporting the energy, petrochemicals, government services, industrialto a diverse customer base, including international and civil infrastructure sectors. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, we offer a wide range of services through our Hydrocarbons, Infrastructure, Governmentnational oil and Power (“IGP”), Servicesgas companies, independent refiners, petrochemical producers, fertilizer producers, regulated utilities, manufacturers, power and Other business segments. See Note 5 for additional financial information about our reportable business segments.

mining companies and domestic and foreign governments.

Principles of consolidation


Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and include the financial position, results of operations and cash flowsaccounts of KBR and our wholly owned and majority-owned, controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities whereof which we are the primary beneficiary (see Note 15). The equity method is used tobeneficiary. We account for investments in affiliates inover which we have the ability to exert significant influence overbut not a controlling financial interest using the affiliates’ operatingequity method of accounting. See Note 9 for further discussion on our equity investments and financial policies.variable interest entities. The cost method is used when we do not have the ability to exert significant influence. All material intercompany accountsbalances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Our revenue includes both


Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation on the consolidated statement of income, consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of cash flows. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we reclassified equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates from revenues to a separate component of operating income on our consolidated statement of income. We reclassified the 2012 and revenue from sales of services2011 amounts to joint ventures. We often participate on larger projectsconform to our revised presentation as a joint venture partnercomponent of operating income but not a component of revenues.

We have evaluated all events and also provide services totransactions occurring after the joint venture as a subcontractor. The amountbalance sheet date but before the financial statements were issued and have included in our revenue represents total project revenue, including equity in the earnings from joint ventures, impairments of equity investments in joint ventures, if any, and revenue from services provided to joint ventures.

appropriate disclosures.


Use of estimates

Our


The preparation of our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requiringU.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates,date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Areas requiring significant estimates and assumptions by our management include the following:


project revenues, costs and profits on engineering and construction contracts and government services contracts,            including recognition of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts
provisions for uncollectible receivables and client claims and recoveries of costs from subcontractors, vendors and others
provisions for income taxes and related valuation allowances and tax uncertainties
recoverability of goodwill
recoverability of other intangibles and long-lived assets and related estimated lives
recoverability of equity method and cost method investments
valuation of pension obligations
accruals for estimated liabilities, including litigation accruals
consolidation of variable interest entities
valuation of stock-based compensation

In accordance with normal practice in the construction industry, we include in current assets and current liabilities amounts related to construction contracts realizable and payable over a period in excess of one year. If the underlying estimates and assumptions upon which the financial statements are based change in the future, actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition - Engineering and construction contracts

Contracts.

Revenue from contracts to provide construction, engineering, design or similar services is reported on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. ProgressDepending on the type of job, progress is generally measured based upon physical progress, man-hours orexpended to total man-hours estimated at completion, costs incurred depending on the type of job. Physical progress is determined as a combination of input and output measures as deemed appropriate by the circumstances.to total estimated costs at completion or physical progress. All known or anticipated losses on contracts are provided for in the period they become evident. Claims and change orders that are in the process of being negotiatednegotiation with customers for extraadditional work or changes in the scope of work are included in contract value when collection is deemed probable. probable and the value can be reliably estimated.


Our work is performed under two general types of contracts: fixed-price contracts often require usand cost-reimbursable plus a fee or mark-up contracts, although a portion of our contracts are "hybrid" contracts containing both cost-reimbursable and fixed-price scopes. Both contract types may be modified by cost escalation provisions or other risk sharing mechanisms and incentive and penalty provisions. During the term of a project, the contract or components of the contract may be renegotiated to pay liquidated damages shouldinclude characteristics of a different contract type. When we notnegotiate any type of contract, we frequently are required to accomplish the scope of work and meet certain performance requirements, including completion of the projectcriteria within a specified time frame; otherwise, we could be assessed damages, which in accordance with a scheduled time.some cases are agreed-upon liquidated damages. We generally include an estimate of liquidated damages in contract costs when it is deemed probable that they will be paid.

Accounting Profits are recorded based upon the product of estimated contract profit at completion times the current percentage-complete for governmentthe contract.


Fixed-price contracts are for a fixed sum to cover all costs and any profit element for a defined scope of work. Fixed-price contracts entail more risk to us because they require us to predetermine both the quantities of work to be performed and the costs associated with executing the work. As a result, we may benefit or be penalized for cost variations from our original estimates. However, these contract prices may be adjusted for changes in scope of work, new or changing laws and regulations and other negotiated events.

Cost-reimbursable contracts include contracts where the price is variable based upon our actual costs incurred for time and materials, or for variable quantities of work priced at defined unit rates and reimbursable labor hour contracts. Profit on cost-reimbursable contracts may be a fixed amount, a mark-up applied to costs incurred, or a combination of the two. Cost reimbursable contracts are generally less risky than fixed-price contracts because the customer retains many of the project risks. Our cost-reimbursable contracts include the following:

Cost-plus and Time and Material contracts - These are contracts under which we are reimbursed for allowable or otherwise defined costs incurred plus a fee or mark-up. The contracts may also include incentives for various performance criteria, including quality, timeliness, ingenuity, safety and cost-effectiveness. In addition, our costs are generally subject to review by our clients and regulatory audit agencies, and such reviews could result in costs being disputed as non-reimbursable under the terms of the contract.

Target-price contracts - These are contracts under which we are reimbursed for costs plus a fee consisting of two parts: (1) a fixed amount, which does not vary with performance, but may be at risk when a target price is exceeded; and (2) an award amount based on the performance and cost-effectiveness of the project. As a result, we are generally able to recover cost overruns on these contracts from actual damages for late delivery or the failure to meet certain performance criteria. Target-price contracts also generally provide for sharing of costs in excess of or savings for costs less than the target. In some contracts, we may agree to share cost overruns in excess of our fee, which could result in a loss on the project.

Unapproved Change Orders and Claims.

Revenues and gross profit on contracts can be significantly affected by change orders and claims that may not be ultimately approved until the later stages of a contract or subsequent to the date a project is completed. If it is not probable that the costs will be recovered through a change in contract price, the costs attributable to change orders are treated as contract costs without incremental revenue. If it is probable that the costs will be recovered through a change order, the costs are treated as contract costs and contract revenue is recognized to the extent of the lesser of the amounts management expects to recover or the costs expected to be incurred.


When estimating the amount of total gross profit or loss on a contract, we include unapproved change orders or claims to our clients as adjustments to revenues and claims to vendors, subcontractors and others as adjustments to total estimated costs. Claims against others are recorded up to the extent of the lesser of the amounts management expects to recover or to costs incurred and include no profit until such time as they are finalized and approved. See Note 5 for our discussion on unapproved change orders and claims.


55



Revenue Recognition - Government contracts

Most of the services provided to the United States governmentGovernment are governed by cost-reimbursable contracts. Generally, these contracts may contain both a base feefees (a fixed profit percentage applied to our actual costs to complete the work) and an award fee (a variable profit percentage applied to definitized costs, which is subject to our customer’s discretion and tied to the specific performance measures defined in the contract, such as adherence to schedule, health and safety, quality of work, responsiveness, cost performance and business management).


Revenue is recordedrecognized at the time services are performed, and such revenues include base fees, actual direct project costs incurred and an allocation of indirect costs. Indirect costs are applied using rates approved by our government customers. The general, administrative and overhead cost reimbursement rates are estimated periodically in accordance with government contract accounting regulations and may change based on actual costs incurred or based upon the volume of work performed. Revenue is reduced for our estimate of costs that either are in dispute with our customer or have been identified as potentially unallowable perpursuant to the terms of the contract or the federal acquisition regulations.

We generally recognize award fees on the LogCAP III contract using an estimated accrual of the amounts to be awarded. Once task orders underlying the work are definitized and award fees are granted, we adjust our estimate of award fees to the actual amounts earned. However, as further discussed in Note 9, we are currently unable to reliably estimate award fees as a result of our customer’s unilateral decision to grant no award fees


Accounting for certain performance periods. In accordance with the provisions of the LogCAP III contract, we earn profits on our services rendered based on a combination of a fixed fee plus award fees granted by our customer. Both fees are measured as a percentage rate applied to estimated and negotiated costs. The LogCAP III customer is contractually obligated to periodically convene Award-Fee Boards, which are comprised of individuals who have been designated to assist the Award Fee Determining Official (“AFDO”) in making award fee determinations. Award fees are based on evaluations of our performance using criteria set forth in the contract, which include non-binding monthly evaluations made by our customers in the field of operations. Although these criteria have historically been used by the Award-Fee Boards in reaching their recommendations, the amounts of award fees are determined at the sole discretion of the AFDO.

multiple deliverables contracts


For contracts containing multiple deliverables, entered into subsequent to June 30, 2003, we analyze each activity within the contract to ensure that we adhere to the separation guidelines for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables in accordance with FASB ASCFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 - Revenue Recognition. For service-only contracts

Gross Profit

Gross profit represents business segment revenue less the cost of revenue, which includes business segment overhead costs directly attributable to the business segment, but excludes equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.

Cost estimates

Contract costs include all direct material and service elements of multiple deliverable arrangements, award fees are recognized only when definitizedlabor costs and awarded by the customer. The LogCAP IV contract is an example of a contract in which award fees are recognized only when definitized and awarded by the Customer because the initial task orders awarded to date have included only service-related deliverables. Under this contract and for all similar future contracts we will continue to accrue base fees as costs are incurred and will recognize award fees only when they have been awarded.

Accounting for pre-contract costs

Pre-contract costs incurred in anticipation of a specific contract award are deferred only if the costs can be directly associated with a specific anticipated contract and their recoverability from that contract is probable. Pre-contractthose indirect costs related to unsuccessful bids are written off no later than the period we are informedcontract performance. Indirect costs, included in cost of revenues, include charges for such items as facilities, engineering, project management, quality control, bid and proposals and procurement.


General and administrative expenses

Our general and administrative expenses represent corporate overhead expenses that we are not awardedassociated with the specific contract. Costs related to one-time activitiesexecution of the contracts. General and administrative expenses include charges for such items as introducing a new product or service, conductingexecutive management, corporate business in a new territory, conducting business with a new class of customer, or commencing new operations are expensed when incurred.

Legal expenses

We expense legal costs in the period in which such costs are incurred.

development, information technology, finance and corporate accounting, human resources and various other corporate functions.


Cash and equivalents

Equivalents


We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. CashSee Note 3 for our discussion on cash and equivalents include cash related to contracts in progress as well as cash held by our joint ventures that we consolidate for accounting purposes. Joint venture cash balancesequivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are limited to joint venture activities andrecorded at the invoiced amount based on contracted prices. Amounts collected on accounts receivable are not available for other projects, general cash needs or distribution to us without approval of the board of directors of the respective joint ventures. Cash held by our joint ventures that we consolidate for accounting purposes totaled approximately $136 million and $236 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We expect to use the cash on these projects to pay project costs.

Restricted cash consists of amounts held in deposit with certain banks to collateralize standby letters of credit. Our current restricted cash is included in “Other current assets” and our non-current restrictednet cash is included in “Other assets” on our consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for bad debts

consolidated statements of cash flows.


We establish an allowance for bad debts through a review of several factors including historical collection experience, current aging statusdoubtful accounts based on the assessment of the customerclients’ willingness and ability to pay. In addition to such allowances, there are often items in dispute or being negotiated that may require us to make an estimate as to the ultimate outcome. Past due receivable balances are written off when our internal collection efforts have been unsuccessful in collecting the amounts due. See Note 4 for our discussion on accounts financial conditionreceivable.

Retainage, included in accounts receivable, represents amounts withheld from billings by our clients pursuant to provisions in the contracts and may not be paid to us until the completion of specific tasks or the completion of the project and, in some instances, for even longer periods. Retainage may also be subject to restrictive conditions such as performance guarantees. Our retainage receivable excludes amounts withheld by the U.S. government on certain contracts. See Note 13 for our customers,discussion on U.S. government receivables.

See Note 5 for our discussion on CIE and BIE.


Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation except for those assets that have been written down to their fair market valuevalues due to impairment. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost of netproperty, plant and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in operating income for the respective period. Depreciation is generally provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the lease term. See Note 7 for our discussion on property, plant and equipment.
Goodwill

Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combinationscombination that are not individually identified and in accordance with FASB ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, we are required to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, and more frequently when negative conditions or other triggering events arise. Effective January 1, 2010, we elected to changeseparately recognized. We perform our annual impairment review of goodwill impairment testing to the fourth quarter of every year based on carrying values of our business units as ofat October 1, from our previous method of using our business unit carrying values as of September 30. An annual goodwilland when a triggering event occurs between impairment test date oftests.

Our October 1, better aligns with our annual budget process which is completed during the fourth quarter of each year. In addition, performing our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter allows for a more thorough consideration of the valuations of our business units subsequent to the completion of our annual budget process but prior to our financial year end reporting date. As a result of this accounting change, there were no required adjustments to any of the financial statement line items in the accompanying financial statements.

The2013 annual impairment test for goodwill iswas a quantitative analysis using a two-step processgoodwill impairment test that first involves comparing the estimated fair value of each businessreporting unit to the unit’sits carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a businessreporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and we must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the goodwillstep two does not need to be performed. Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the business unit is not considered impaired; therefore, the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a business unit exceeds itsthe reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value we performof that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the second stepfair value of the goodwill impairment testreporting unit in a manner similar to measurea purchase price allocation and the amountresidual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of goodwill impairment loss to be recorded, as necessary.

the reporting unit goodwill.


Consistent with prior years, the fair values of reporting units in 20102013 were determined using a combination of two methods, one based onutilizing market earnings multiples of peer companies identified for each businessreporting unit (the market approach), and the other based onderived from discounted cash flow models with estimated cash flows based on internal forecasts of revenues and expenses over a fourten year period plus a terminal value period (the income approach).


The market approach estimates fair value by applying earnings and revenue market multiples to a reporting unit’s operating performance for the trailing twelve-month period. The market multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with operating and investment characteristics similar to those of each of our reporting units. The earnings multiples for the market approach ranged between 4.0 times and 11.0 times the earnings for each of our reporting units. The income approach estimates fair value by discounting each reporting unit’s estimated future cash flows using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions and the risk profile of eachthe reporting unit. The discountTo arrive at our future cash flows, we use estimates of economic and market assumptions, including growth rates used under the income approach ranged from 13.2% to 17.5%. The fair value derived from the weightingin revenues, costs, estimates of these two methods provided appropriate valuations that,future expected changes in aggregate, reasonably reconciled to our market capitalization, taking into account observable control premiums.

operating margins, tax rates and cash expenditures. We believe these two approaches are appropriate valuation techniques and we generally weight the two resulting values equally as an estimate of a reporting unitunit's fair value for the purposes of our impairment testing. However, we may weigh one value more heavily than the other when conditions merit doing so.

In addition to Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The fair value derived from the earnings multiples and the discount rates disclosed above, certain other judgments and estimates are used to prepare the goodwill impairment test. If market conditions change compared to those used in our market approach, or if actual future resultsweighting of operations fall below the projections usedthese two methods provides appropriate valuations that, in the income approach, our goodwill could become impaired in the future.

At October 1, 2010,aggregate, reasonably reconcile to our market capitalization, exceededtaking into account observable control premiums. See Note 8 for our discussion on our annual impairment test.


On January 1, 2014, we reorganized four of the five reporting units in the Infrastructure, Government and Power ("IGP") business segment into three geographic-based reporting units. This reorganization allows the IGP business segment to focus its full-scope engineering, procurement, construction and defense services on a regional level. We have concluded that each will be considered a separate reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing purposes. As a result, we performed an additional impairment test immediately before and after this change in reporting units, utilizing the same methodology as our October test and no indication of impairment was identified.


57



Intangible assets

Our intangible assets are related to various licenses, patents, technology and related processes. Except for a $10 million indefinite lived trade name, which we do not amortize, the costs of our intangible assets are generally amortized over their estimated useful lives up to 25 years. The method of amortization reflects the expected realization pattern of the economic benefits relevant to the intangible assets, or if we are unable to determine the expected realization pattern reliably, they are amortized using the straight-line method. We also have intangible assets related to trade names, client relationships and non-compete agreements which are associated with acquisitions we have completed and are generally amortized over a three-to ten-year period on a straight-line basis. We assess the recoverability of the unamortized balance of our intangible assets when indicators of impairment are present based on expected future profitability and undiscounted expected cash flows and their contribution to our overall operations. Should the review indicate that the carrying value is not fully recoverable, the excess of our consolidated net assets by $1.4 billion andthe carrying value over the fair value of allthe intangible assets would be recognized as an impairment loss. See Note 8 for our individual reporting units significantly exceeded their respective carrying amounts asdiscussion on intangible assets.

Investments

We account for non-marketable investments using the equity method of that date. However,accounting if the fair valuesinvestment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence over, but not control of, an investee. Significant influence generally exists if we have an ownership interest representing between 20% and 50% of the voting stock of the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for subsequent additional investments and our proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, in the Services, P&Iconsolidated statements of income, reflects our proportionate share of the investee's net income, including any associated affiliate taxes. Our proportionate share of the investee’s other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes, is recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and Allstates reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values based on projected growth rates and other market inputsconsolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). In general, the equity investment in our unconsolidated affiliates is equal to our impairment test models that are more sensitive to the risk of future variances due to competitive market conditions as well as business unit execution risks.

We review our projected growth rates and other market inputs used in our impairment test models, and changes in our business and other factors that could represent indicators of impairment. Subsequent to our October 1, 2010 annual impairment test, no such indicators of impairment were identified.

Impairment of long-lived assets

When events or changes in circumstances indicate that long-lived assets other than goodwill may be impaired, an evaluation is performed. For an asset classified as held for use, the estimated future undiscounted cash flow associated with the asset are compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. When an asset is classified as held for sale, the asset’s book value is evaluated and adjusted to the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation or amortization is ceased when an asset is classified as held for sale.

current equity investment plus those entities' undistributed earnings.

We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment whenat least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of suchan investment may have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value. When evidence of loss in value has occurred, management compares the estimated fair value of the investment to the carrying value of the investment to determine whether an impairment has occurred. Management assesses the fair value of its equity method investment using commonly accepted techniques, and may use more than one method, including, but not limited to, recent third party comparable sales, internally developed discounted cash flow analysis and analysis from outside advisors. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value and management considers the decline in value to be other than temporary, the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized in the financial statements as an impairment.

See Note 9 for our discussion on equity method investments.


Where we are unable to exercise significant influence over the investee, or when our investment balance is reduced to zero from our proportionate share of losses, the investments are accounted for under the cost method. Under the cost method, investments are carried at cost and adjusted only for other-than-temporary declines in fair value, distributions of earnings, or additional investments.

Pensions

Our pension benefit obligations and expenses are calculated using actuarial models and methods, in accordance with ASC 715 - Compensation - Retirement Benefits. Two of the more critical assumptions and estimates used in the actuarial calculations are the discount rate for determining the current value of benefit obligations and the expected rate of return on plan assets. Other assumptions and estimates used in determining benefit obligations and plan expenses include inflation rates and demographic factors such as retirement age, mortality and turnover. These assumptions and estimates are evaluated periodically and are updated accordingly to reflect our actual experience and expectations.

The discount rate used to determine the benefit obligations was computed using a yield curve approach that matches plan specific cash flows to a spot rate yield curve based on high quality corporate bonds. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was determined by a stochastic projection that takes into account asset allocation strategies, historical long-term performance of individual asset classes, an analysis of additional return (net of fees) generated by active management, risks using standard deviations and correlations of returns among the asset classes that comprise the plans' asset mix. Plan assets are comprised primarily of equity securities, fixed income funds and securities, hedge funds, real estate and other funds. As we have both domestic and international plans, these assumptions differ based on varying factors specific to each particular country or economic environment.


58



To calculate the expected return on pension plan assets, the market-related value of assets for our U.S. pension plans is actual fair value.  For our international plan, a method is used that recognizes investment gains or losses, the difference between the expected and actual return based on market-related value of assets over a five-year period, which has the effect of reducing year-to-year volatility.

Unrecognized actuarial gains and losses are generally recognized using the corridor method over a period of approximately 15 years, which represents a reasonable systematic method for amortizing gains and losses for the employee group. Our unrecognized actuarial gains and losses arise from factors including experience and assumptions changes in the obligations and the difference between expected returns and actual returns on plan assets. The difference between actual and expected returns is deferred as an unrecognized actuarial gain or loss on our consolidated statement of comprehensive income and is recognized as a decrease or an increase in future pension expense.

The actuarial assumptions used in determining our pension benefits may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates and longer or shorter life spans of participants. While we believe that the assumptions used are reasonable based on our experience and market conditions, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our actuarial estimates of pension benefit expense and expected pension returns of plan assets are discussed further in Note 10.

Income taxes


Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of events that have beenexisting assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A current tax asset or liability is recognized for the estimated taxes refundable or payable on tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the financial statementsyears in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or tax returns. A valuation allowance is provided forsettled. The effect on deferred tax assets if itand liabilities of a change in tax rates is more likely than notrecognized in income in the period that these items will not be realized. includes the enactment date.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will not be realized. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and available tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the levelAdditionally, we use forecasts of historicalcertain tax elements such as taxable income and projectionsforeign tax credit utilization in making this assessment of realization. Given the inherent uncertainty involved with the use of such estimates and assumptions, there can be significant variation between estimated and actual results.

We have operations in numerous countries other than the United States. Consequently, we are subject to the jurisdiction of a significant number of taxing authorities. The income earned in these various jurisdictions is taxed on differing bases, including income actually earned, income deemed earned and revenue-based tax withholding. The final determination of our tax liabilities involves the interpretation of local tax laws, tax treaties and related authorities in each jurisdiction. Changes in the operating environment, including changes in tax law and currency/repatriation controls, could impact the determination of our tax liabilities for future taxablea tax year.

We recognize the effect of income overtax positions only if it is more-likely-than-not that those positions will be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the periodslargest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, we believe it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances.

We record estimated reserves for uncertain tax positions if the position does not meet a more-likely-than-not threshold to be sustained upon by review by taxing authorities. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recognized as benefitschange in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met.judgment occurs.

Tax filings of our subsidiaries, unconsolidated affiliates and related entities are routinely examined by tax authorities in the provisionnormal course of business. These examinations may result in assessments of additional taxes, which we work to resolve with the tax authorities and through the judicial process. Predicting the outcome of disputed assessments involves some uncertainty. Factors such as the availability of settlement procedures, willingness of tax authorities to negotiate and the operation and impartiality of judicial systems vary across the different tax jurisdictions and may significantly influence the ultimate outcome. We review the facts for each assessment, and then utilize assumptions and estimates to determine the most likely outcome and provide taxes, interest and penalties as needed based on this outcome. See Note 12 for our discussion on income taxes.

Derivative instruments

At times, we


We enter into derivative financial transactions to hedge existing or projected exposures to changing foreign currency exchange rates. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes. We recognize all derivatives at fair value on the balance sheet at fair value.sheet. Derivatives that are not accounted for as hedges under FASB ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging, are adjusted to fair value and such changes are reflected through the results of operations. If the derivative is designated as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

See Note 21 for our discussion on derivative instruments.


The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is recognized in earnings. Recognized gains or losses on derivatives entered into to manage foreign exchange risk are included in foreign currency gains and losses in the consolidated statements of income.


Concentration of credit risk


Financial instruments which potentially subject our company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and trade receivables. Our cash is primarily held with major banks and financial institutions throughout the world. We believe the risk of any potential loss on deposits held in these institutions is minimal.

Contracts with clients usually contain standard provisions allowing the client to curtail or terminate contracts for convenience. Upon such a termination, we are generally entitled to recover costs incurred, settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to termination.

We have revenues and receivables from transactions with individual external customers that amount to 10% or more of our revenues.revenues (which are generally not collateralized). A significant portionpercentage of our revenue from services is generated from transactions with the United States government, which was derived almost entirely from our IGP segment. Additionally, a considerable percentage of revenue from services is generated from transactions with the Chevron Corporation (“Chevron”), which wasis derived almost entirelyprimarily from our HydrocarbonsGas Monetization business segment, and in prior years from transactions with the U. S. government, which is derived from our IGP business segment. No other customers represented 10% or more of consolidated revenues in any of the periods presented. In addition, our receivables are generally not collateralized.

Noncontrolling interest


Noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiariesinterests represent the equity investments of the minority owners in our consolidated balance sheets principally represents noncontrolling shareholders’ proportionate share of the equityjoint ventures and other subsidiary entities that we consolidate in our consolidated subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiariesfinancial statements.

Foreign currency

Our reporting currency is adjusted each period to reflect the noncontrolling shareholders’ allocation of income or the absorption of losses by noncontrolling shareholders on certain majority-owned, controlled investments.

Foreign currency translation

We determine theU.S. dollar. The functional currency of our foreign entities based uponnon-U.S subsidiaries is typically the currency of the primary environment in which they operate. Where the functional currency for a non-U.S subsidiary is not the U.S. dollar, translation of all of the assets and liabilities (including long term assets, such as goodwill) to U.S. dollars is based on exchange

rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Translation of revenue and expenses to U.S. dollars is based on the average rate during the period.period and shareholders’ equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Translation gains or losses, net of income tax effects, are reported as a component ofin "accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations, with the exception of intercompany foreign transactions that are of a long-term investment nature, which are recorded in “Other comprehensive income”loss" on our consolidated balance sheets.


Transaction gains and losses that arise from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are credited or charged to income as incurred. Transaction gains and losses on intra-entity foreign currency transactions and balances including advances and demand notes payable, on which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future, are recorded in “accumulated other comprehensive loss” on our consolidated balance sheets.

Variable Interest Entities


The majority of our joint ventures are variable interest entities ("VIEs"). We account for variable interest entities (“VIEs”)VIEs in accordance with FASB ASC 810 - Consolidation which requires the consolidation of VIEs in which a company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If a reporting enterprise meets these conditions, then it has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We have applied the requirements of FASB ASC 810 on a prospective basis from the date of adoption. The adoption of FASB ASC 810 resulted in the consolidation of the Fasttrax Limited VIE which is discussed belowOur unconsolidated VIE's are accounted for under the caption “Fasttrax Limited Project.”

equity method of accounting.


We assess all newly created entities and those with which we become involved to determine whether such entities are VIEs and, if so, whether or not we are their primary beneficiary. Most of the entities we assess are incorporated or unincorporated joint ventures formed by us and our partner(s) for the purpose of executing a project or program for a customer such as a governmental agency or a commercial enterprise, and are generally dissolved upon completion of the project or program. Many of our long-term energy-related construction projects in our HydrocarbonsGas Monetization business segment are executed through such joint ventures. Typically, these joint ventures are funded by advances from the project owner, and accordingly, require little or no equity investment by the joint venture partners but may require subordinated financial support from the joint venture partners such as letters of credit, performance and financial guarantees or obligations to fund losses incurred by the joint venture. Other joint ventures, such as privately financed initiatives in our Ventures business unit,operations, generally require the partners to invest equity and take an ownership position in an entity that manages and operates an asset post construction.

after construction is complete.


As required by ASC 810-10,810 - Consolidation, we perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary once an entity is identified as a VIE. Thereafter, we continue to re-evaluate whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE in accordance with ASC 810 - Consolidation. A qualitative assessment begins with an understanding of the nature of the risks in the entity as well as the nature of the entity’s activities including terms of the contracts entered into by the entity, ownership interests issued by the entity and how they were marketed and the parties involved in the design of the entity. We then identify all of the variable interests held by parties involved with the VIE including, among other things, equity investments,

subordinated debt financing, letters of credit, and financial and performance guarantees and contracted service providers. Once we identify the variable interests, we determine those activities which are most significant to the economic performance of the entity and which variable interest holder has the power to direct those activities. Though infrequent, some of our VIE’s haveassessments reveal no primary beneficiary because the power to direct the most significant activities that impact the economic performance is held equally by two or more variable interest holders who are required to provide their consent prior to the execution of their decisions. Most of the VIEs with which we are involved have relatively few variable interests and are primarily related to our equity investment, significant service contracts and other subordinated financial support.


Share-based compensation

Stock-based compensation

We apply the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718-10account for share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, restricted stock-based awards and performance cash units, in accordance with ASC 718 - Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires that all share-based payments (to the extent that they are compensatory) be recognized as an expense in our consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values and the estimated number of shares we ultimately expect to account for and report equity-based compensation. FASB ASC 718-10 requires equity-basedvest. We recognize share-based compensation expense to be measured based on a straight-line basis over the grant-date fair value of the award. For performance-based awards, compensation expense is measured based on the grant-date fair valueservice period of the award, and the fair value of that awardwhich is remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period or the vesting period are recognized as compensation cost on a straight line basis over that period.no greater than 5 years. See Note 1318 for detailed informationour discussion on stock-basedshare-based compensation and incentive plans.


Commitments and Contingencies

We record liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.


61



Insurance Programs

Our employee-related health care benefits program is self-funded. Our workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability insurance programs include a deductible applicable to each claim.  Claims in excess of our deductible are paid by the insurer. The liabilities are based on claims filed and estimates of claims incurred but not reported. As of December 31, 2013, liabilities for unpaid and incurred but not reported claims for all insurance programs totaled approximately $75 million, comprised of $12 million included in "accrued salaries, wages and benefits," $26 million included in "other current liabilities" and $37 million included in "other liabilities" all on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2012, liabilities for unpaid and incurred but not reported claims for all insurance programs totaled approximately $79 million, comprised of $13 million included in "accrued salaries, wages and benefits," $22 million included in "other current liabilities" and $44 million included in "other liabilities" all on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The error related to the accounting over the last several years for foreign currency in the determination of revenue on one of our long term construction projects with multiple currencies. We evaluated the cumulative error on both a quantitative and qualitative basis under the guidance of ASC 250 - Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. We determined that the cumulative impact of the error did not affect the trend of net income, cash flows or liquidity and therefore did not have a material impact to previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 20102012 and 2009 is presented below:

Note 2. Income per Share

Basic income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive income per share includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued, using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted income per share calculations is as follows:

   Years ended December 31, 
Millions of Shares  2010   2009   2008

For purposes of applying the two-class method in computing earnings per share, net earnings allocated to participating securities was approximately $2 million, or $0.01 per share,2011. Additionally, we determined our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008. The diluted earnings per share calculation did not include 1.1 million, 2.0 million, and 0.8 million antidilutive weighted average shares for the yearsyear ended December 31, 2010,2013 were not materially impacted by the error correction.

Note 2. Business Segment Information

We provide a wide range of services and the management of our business is heavily focused on major projects within each of our reportable segments. At any given time, a relatively few number of projects and joint ventures represent a substantial part of our operations. Our reportable segments follow the same accounting policies as those described in Note 1.

Business Reorganization

During the third quarter of 2013, we reorganized our business to better serve our customers, improve our organizational efficiency, increase sales and achieve future growth objectives. In order to attain these objectives, we separated our Hydrocarbons reportable segment into two separate reportable segments, Gas Monetization and Hydrocarbons, such that now we have a total of five reportable segments: Gas Monetization, Hydrocarbons, IGP, Services and Other. Each reportable segment, excluding Other, is led by a separate Segment President who reports directly to our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). We have revised our business segment reporting to reflect our current management approach and recast prior periods to conform to the current business segment presentation.

The following is a description of our reportable segments:

Gas Monetization. Our Gas Monetization business segment designs and constructs liquefied natural gas ("LNG") and gas-to-liquids ("GTL") facilities that allow for the economic development and transportation of resources across the globe. We provide our customers a full range of services for large and complex LNG and GTL projects, as well as provide significant contributions in advancing gas processing development, equipment design and innovative construction methods.

As discussed in Note 1, the Gas Monetization business segment corrected an error, originating in periods prior to 2013, of approximately $25 million, reducing revenues and gross profit for the period ended December 31, 2013.

Hydrocarbons. Our Hydrocarbons business segment provides services ranging from prefeasibility studies to front-end engineering design (“FEED”) through construction and commissioning of process facilities in remote locations and developed areas around the world. We design and construct onshore and offshore oil and natural gas production facilities that include platforms, floating production and floating liquefied natural gas ("FLNG") facilities. We also provide specialty consulting services that include field development studies and planning, structural integrity management and proprietary designs for ship and semi-submersible hulls. We license technology and provide base engineering and design packages for highly efficient differentiated proprietary process technologies. Our global business segment also provides process technology and project design and execution for oil and gas, refining, chemicals, petrochemical, biofuels, fertilizers, coal gasification and syngas markets.

Infrastructure, Government & Power. Our IGP business segment designs and executes projects for industrial, commercial, defense and governmental agencies worldwide. These projects range from basic deliverables to complex infrastructure initiatives including aviation, road, rail, maritime, water, wastewater, building and pipeline projects. Our capabilities include operations, maintenance, logistics and field support, facilities management and border security, and design or build services. Our suite of services include project management, construction management, training, and visualization software, as well as engineering, construction, and project management services across the world. For the industrial manufacturing and process markets, we provide a full range of pre-FEED, FEED and engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") services to a variety of heavy industrial and advanced manufacturing clients, frequently employing our clients’ proprietary knowledge and technologies in strategically critical projects. For the power market, customers look to us for full-scope EPC expertise to execute projects which play a distinctive role in increasing the world’s power generation capacity from multiple fuel sources and in enhancing the efficiency and environmental compliance of existing power facilities.

Services. Our Services business segment delivers direct-hire construction and construction management for stand-alone construction projects in a variety of global markets as well as construction execution support on all U.S. EPC projects. We provide module assembly, fabrication and maintenance services, commissioning/startup and turnaround expertise worldwide to a broad variety of markets including oil and gas, petrochemicals processing, mining, power, alternate energy, pulp and paper, industrial and manufacturing and consumer product industries. Our Services business segment also provides global maintenance, on-call construction, turnaround and specialty services, where, today more than 90 locations have embedded KBR personnel that provide commercial general contractor services for education, food and beverage, manufacturing, health care, hospitality and entertainment, life science and technology and mixed-use building clients. Our Services business segment periodically works on projects with other business segments.


63



Our business segment information has been prepared in accordance with ASC 280 - Segment Reporting. Certain of our reporting units meet the definition of operating segments contained in ASC 280 - Segment Reporting, but individually do not meet the quantitative thresholds as a reportable segment, nor do they share a majority of the aggregation criteria with another operating segment. These operating segments are reported on a combined basis as “Other” and include our Ventures and Technical Staffing Resources (formerly a part of Allstates) as well as corporate expenses not included in the operating segments’ results.

Reportable segment performance is evaluated by our CODM using reportable segment gross profit (loss) which is defined as business segment revenue less the cost of revenue, which includes business segment overhead directly attributable to the segment, but excludes equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.

The following table presents revenue, gross profit, equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, capital expenditures, and depreciation and amortization by reporting segment.

Changes in Estimates

There are many factors, including, but not limited to, the ability to properly execute the engineering and designing phases consistent with our customers’ expectations, the availability and costs of labor and resources, productivity, weather, that can affect the accuracy of our cost estimates, and ultimately, our future profitability. In the past, we have realized both lower and higher than expected margins and have incurred losses as a result of unforeseen changes in our project costs; however, historically, our estimates have been reasonably dependable regarding the recognition of revenue and profit on percentage of completion contracts. During 2013, we recognized revisions in estimates on an LNG project in Australia as a result of an approved change order and increases in estimated project hours which impacted our 2013 gross profit by $190 million.
Within KBR, not all assets are associated with specific business segments. Those assets specific to business segments include receivables, inventories, certain identified property, plant and equipment and equity in and advances to related companies and goodwill. The remaining assets, such as cash and the remaining property, plant and equipment, are considered to be shared among the business segments and are therefore reported in "Other."

Note 3. Cash and Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and equivalents include cash balances held by our wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as cash held by joint ventures that we consolidate. Joint venture cash balances are limited to joint venture activities and are not available for other projects, general cash needs or distribution to us without approval of the board of directors of the respective joint ventures. We expect to use joint venture cash for project costs and distributions of earnings related to joint venture operations. However, some of the earnings distributions may be paid to other KBR entities where the cash can be used for general corporate needs.

(b)Includes U.S. dollar and foreign currency deposits held in operating accounts that constitute onshore cash for tax purposes but may reside either in the U.S. or in a foreign country

Our international cash balances are primarily held in the U.K., Australia and Canada. We generally do not provide for U.S. federal and state income taxes on the accumulated but undistributed earnings of non-United States subsidiaries except for certain entities in Mexico and certain other joint ventures, as well as for 50% of our earnings from our operations in Australia since the beginning of 2012. Taxes are provided for as necessary with respect to earnings that are considered not permanently reinvested. For all other non-U.S. subsidiaries, no U.S. taxes are provided for because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely to finance foreign activities. As of December 31, 2013, foreign cash and equivalents on which U.S. income taxes have not been recognized, excluding cash held by consolidated joint ventures, is estimated to be approximately $554 million of $675 million (total of the international operating cash and international time deposits referenced in the table above). We have estimated the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. tax liability to be approximately $91 million, which includes the effects of foreign tax credits associated with the deferred income to reduce the U.S. tax liabilities.

Restricted cash primarily consists of amounts held in deposit with certain banks to collateralize standby letters of credit as well as amounts held in deposit with certain banks to establish foreign operations. Our restricted cash is included in “other current assets” and “other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets. Our restricted cash balances were $1 million at December 31, 2013 and $2 million at December 31, 2012.

Unapproved change orders and claims

When estimating the amount of total gross profit or loss on a contract, we include unapproved change orders or claims to our clients as adjustments to revenues and claims to vendors, subcontractors and others as adjustments to total estimated costs. Claims against others are recorded up to the extent of the lesser of the amounts management expects to recover or to costs incurred and include no profit until they are finalized and approved.

The amounts of unapproved change orders and claims included in determining the profit or loss on contracts are as follows:
 December 31,

As of December 31, 2013, claims and unapproved change orders related to several projects. Included in the table above are claims included in project estimates-at-completion associated with the reimbursable portion of an EPC contract to construct an LNG facility for which we have recognized additional contract revenue totaling $46 million. The claims on this project represent incremental subcontractor costs that we are legally entitled to recover from the customer under the terms of the contract. We also have claims associated with one of our APAC projects for which we have recognized contract revenue of $10 million. Also included in the table above are unapproved change orders of $19 million related to a an EPC contract to install air emissions controls systems and $12 million related to a construction project, all for which we are currently negotiating the change orders with the customer.

Excluded from the table above are our share of claims and unapproved change orders related to our unconsolidated subsidiaries of $1 million and $57 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2013 and $3 million and $43 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2012.

Liquidated damages

Some of our engineering and construction contracts have schedule dates and performance obligations that if not met could subject us to penalties for liquidated damages in the event claims are asserted for which we were responsible for the delays. These generally relate to specified activities that must be completed within a project by a set contractual date or achievement of a specified level of output or throughput of a plant we construct. Each contract defines the conditions under which a customer may make a claim for liquidated damages. However, in some instances, liquidated damages are not asserted by the customer, but the potential to do so is used in negotiating or settling claims and closing out the contract. Any accrued liquidated damages are recognized as a reduction in revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

Based upon our evaluation of our performance and other legal analysis, we have not accrued for possible liquidated damages related to several projects totaling $10 million at December 31, 2013 and $2 million at December 31, 2012, (including amounts related to our share of unconsolidated subsidiaries), that we could incur based upon completing the projects as currently forecasted.

Advances

We may receive customer advances in the normal course of business, most of which are applied to invoices usually within one to three months. In addition, we hold advances from customers to assist us in financing project activities, including subcontractor costs. As of December 31, 2013, $50 million of these finance-related advances are included in "BIE" on our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2012, $82 million of these advances are included in "CIE" on our consolidated balance sheets.

approximately $106 million for 2013 performance bonds recovery, plus interest. The judgment also requires that each party pay value added tax on the amounts each has been ordered to pay. See Note 14 for further discussion on our EPC 1 arbitration.

IGP claims and accounts receivable includes $226 million of claims for costs incurred under various U.S. government contracts. These claims relate to disputed costs and/or contracts where our costs have exceeded the government's funded value on the task order. A portion of these claims resulted from de-obligated funding on certain task orders on LogCAP III, a contract with the U.S. government, that were also subject to Form 1s relating to certain government audit issues.  We believe such disputed costs will be resolved in our favor at which time the government will be required to obligate funds from appropriations for the year in which resolution occurs. We also have claims including costs for which incremental funding is pending in the normal course of business on our U.S. government contracts. The claims outstanding are considered to be probable of collection and have been previously recognized as revenue. See "Other Matters" in Note 13 for further discussion on our U.S. government matters.

The decrease in goodwill in 2013 of $7 million was due to the Roberts & Schaefer Company (“R&S”), a privately held, EPC services company for material handling and processing systems. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, R&S provides services and associated processing infrastructure to customers$3 million decrease in the mining and minerals, power, industrial, refining, aggregates, precious and base metals industries.

The purchase price was $280 million plus preliminary net working capital of $17 million which included cash acquired of $8 million. The total net cash paid at closing of $289 million is subject to post-closing adjustments to be determined in the first quarter of 2011. The purchase price is subject to an escrowed holdback amount of $43 million to secure post closing working capital adjustments, indemnifications obligations of the sellers and other contingent obligationsOther business segment related to the operationssale of a portion of a subsidiary, Allstates Technical Services, and $4 million in the IGP and Services business segments related to translation losses on the foreign goodwill balances.


Goodwill Impairment

We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 of each year. The first step in performing a goodwill impairment test is to identify potential impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of the business. R&S will be integrated intoreporting unit to its carrying value. At the annual testing date of October 1, 2013, the result of the first step of our goodwill impairment test indicated the carrying value of one reporting unit in our IGP segment. We expensed approximately $1 million relatedbusiness segment exceeded its fair value. This is the same reporting unit discussed below in relation to the acquisitiongoodwill impairment in 2012. As a result, we performed the second step of R&Sthe goodwill impairment test in 2010 primarily relatedorder to legal fees, consultation fees, travel and other miscellaneous expenses.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations”, (“ASC 805”), the purchase of R&S was accounted for using the acquisition method which requires an acquirer to recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their fair values asamount of the acquisition date.potential impairment loss, if any. The following presents the preliminary allocationsecond step of the purchase price to ENI’s identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based ongoodwill impairment test compares the estimates of theirimplied fair values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill represents the excessvalue of the purchase price overreporting unit's goodwill to the carrying value of that goodwill. Step two requires significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements) in the calculation. We determine the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as we use in determining the amount of goodwill to be recognized in a business combination. Applying this methodology, we assigned the fair value of the underlying net tangiblereporting unit estimated in step one to all the assets and intangible assets. Goodwill was recognized primarily as a resultliabilities of acquiring an assembled workforce, expertise and capabilities in the material handling and processing systems market, cost saving opportunities and other synergies.reporting unit. The acquisition generated goodwill of approximately $250 million none of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Of the total purchase price, $56 million has been allocated to customer relationships, trade names and other intangibles. Customer relationships represent existing contracts and the underlying customer relationships and backlog and will be amortized on a straight-lined basis over the period in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized. Tradename intangibles include the Roberts & Schaefer’s and Soros brands and will be amortized on a straight-lined basis over an estimated useful life of 8-10 years. Theimplied fair value of acquired intangible assetsthe reporting unit's goodwill is provisional pending receipt of the final valuation for these assets.

Energo.On April 5, 2010, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Houston-based Energo Engineering (“Energo”) for approximately $16 million in cash, subject to an escrowed holdback amount of $6 million to secure working capital adjustments, indemnification obligations of the sellers, and other contingent obligations related to the operation of the business. As a result of the acquisition, we recognized goodwill of $6 million and other intangible assets of $3 million. Energo provides Integrity Management (IM) and advanced structural engineering services to the offshore oil and gas industry. Energo’s results of operations were integrated into our Hydrocarbons segment.

BE&K, Inc. On July 1, 2008, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of BE&K, Inc., (“BE&K”) a privately held, Birmingham, Alabama-based engineering, construction and maintenance services company. The acquisition of BE&K enhances our ability to provide contractor and maintenance services in North America. The agreed-upon purchase price was $550 million in cash subject to certain indemnifications and stockholder’s equity adjustments as defined in the stock purchase agreement. BE&K and its acquired divisions have been integrated into our Services, Hydrocarbons and IGP segments based upon the nature of the underlying projects acquired.

The purchase consideration paid was approximately $559 million, which included $550 million in cash paid at closing, $7 million in cash paid related to stockholder’s equity based purchase price adjustments and $2 million of direct transaction costs. Long-lived assets largely reflect a value of replacing the assets, which takes into account changes in technology, usage, and relative obsolescence and depreciation of the assets. In addition, assets that would not normally be recorded in ordinary operations (i.e., customer relationships and other intangibles) were recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess of preliminary purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.

Our allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the major assets acquired and liabilities assumed atreporting unit over the date of acquisition has been adjustedamounts assigned to reflect the agreed upon stockholder’s equity and final asset valuation adjustments. Adjustments primarily related to the estimates used in the opening balance sheet valuation for certain intangibles, accounts receivables, accounts payables and otherits assets and liabilities, as well asliabilities. The result of our step two test indicated that the settlementimplied fair value of escrow obligations. goodwill exceeded its carrying value and that the goodwill was not impaired.


In 2009,the third quarter of 2012 in connection with our interim impairment review, we decreasedrecognized a noncash goodwill related to BE&K by approximately $7 million due to an impairment charge of $6$178 million and purchase price allocation adjustments of $1 million related to the completion ofa reporting unit within our BE&K asset valuation.

Turnaround Group of Texas, Inc.In April 2008, we acquired 100% ofIGP business segment. The charge was primarily the outstanding common stock of Turnaround Group of Texas, Inc. (“TGI”). TGI is a Houston-based turnaround management and consulting company that specializes in the planning and execution of turnarounds and outages in the petrochemical, power, and pulp & paper industries. The total purchase consideration for this stock purchase transaction was approximately $7 million. As a result of the acquisition, we recognized goodwill of $5 milliondetermination that both the actual and other intangible assets of $2 million. Beginning in April 2008, TGI’s results of operations were included in our Services segment.

Catalyst Interactive.In April 2008, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Catalyst Interactive, an Australian e-learningexpected income and training solution provider that specializes in the defense, government and industry training sectors. The total purchase consideration for this stock purchase transaction was approximately $5 million. As a result of the acquisition, we recognized goodwill of approximately $3 million and other intangible assets of approximately $2 million. Beginning in April 2008, Catalyst Interactive’s results of operations were included in our IGP segment.

Wabi Development Corporation.In October 2008, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Wabi Development Corporation (“Wabi”) for approximately $20 million in cash. As a result of the acquisition, we recognized goodwill of $5 million and other intangible assets of $5 million. Wabi is a privately held Canada-based general contractor, which provides servicescash flows for the energy, forestry and mining industries. Wabi provides maintenance, fabrication, construction and construction management services to a variety of clients in Canada and Mexico. The integration of Wabi into our

Services segment provides additional growth opportunities for our heavy hydrocarbon, forest products, oil sand, general industrial and maintenance services business.

Other Transactions

M.W. Kellogg Limited (“MWKL”). On December 31, 2010, we obtained control of the remaining 44.94% interest in our MWKL subsidiary located in the U.K for approximately $165 million (£107 million) subject to certain post-closing adjustments to be determined during the first quarter of 2011. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the $165 million initial purchase price was paid on January 5, 2011 and recorded as “Obligation to former noncontrolling interest” in our consolidated balance sheet. In addition, we agreed to pay the former noncontrolling interest 44.94% of future proceeds collected on certain receivables owed to MWKL. Furthermore, the former noncontrolling interest agreed to indemnify us for 44.94% of certain MWKL liabilities to be settled and paid in the future. As a result, we recognized an additional $15 million net liability recorded as “Obligation to former noncontrolling interest”. The acquisition was recorded as an equity transaction that reduced noncontrolling interests, accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and additional paid-in capital by $180 million. We recognized direct transaction costs associated with the acquisition of approximately $1 million as a direct charge to additional paid in capital.

Technology License Agreement. Effective December 24, 2009, we entered into a collaboration agreement with BP p.l.c. to market and license certain technology. In conjunction with this arrangement, we acquired a license granting us the exclusive right to the technology. In January 2010, as partial consideration for the license, we paid an initial fee of $20 million, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life or the 25-year life of the arrangement. We currently estimate the useful life to be 25 years.

Note 4. Percentage-of-Completion Contracts

Revenue from contracts to provide construction, engineering, design, or similar services is reported on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting using measurements of progress toward completion appropriate for the work performed. Commonly used measurements are physical progress, man-hours, and costs incurred.

Billing practices for these projects are governed by the contract terms of each project based upon costs incurred, achievement of milestones, or pre-agreed schedules. Billings do not necessarily correlate with revenue recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Billings in excess of recognized revenue are recorded in “Advance billings on uncompleted contracts.” When billings are lessreporting unit were substantially lower than recognized revenue, the difference is recorded in “Unbilled receivables on uncompleted contracts.” With the exception of claims and change orders that are in the process of being negotiated with customers, unbilled receivables are usually billed during normal billing processes following achievement of the contractual requirements.

Recording of profits and losses on percentage-of-completion contracts requires an estimate of the total profit or loss over the life of each contract. This estimate requires consideration of contract value, change orders and claims reduced by costs incurred and estimated costs to complete. Anticipated losses on contracts are recorded in full in the period they become evident. Except in a limited number of projects that have significant uncertainties in the estimation of costs, we do not delay income recognition until projects have reached a specified percentage of completion. Generally, profits are recorded from the commencement date of the contract based upon the total estimated contract profit multiplied by the current percentage complete for the contract.

When calculating the amount of total profit or loss on a percentage-of-completion contract, we include unapproved claims in total estimated contract value when the collection is deemed probable based upon the four criteria for recognizing unapproved claims in accordance with FASB ASC 605-35 related to accounting for performance of construction-type and certain production-type contracts. Including unapproved claims in this calculation increases the operating income (or reduces the operating loss) that would otherwise be recorded without consideration of the probable unapproved claims. Probable unapproved claims are recorded to the extent of costs incurred and include no profit element. In all cases, the probable unapproved claims included in determining contract profit or loss are less than the actual claim that will be or has been presented to the customer.

When recording the revenue and the associated unbilled receivable for unapproved claims, we only accrue an amount equal to the costs incurred related to probable unapproved claims. The amounts of unapproved claims and change orders included in determining the profit or loss on contracts and recorded in current and non-current unbilled receivables on uncompleted contracts are as follows:

   Years ended December 31, 
Millions of dollars  2010       2009     
  

Probable unapproved claims

  $    19    $    33  

Probable unapproved change orders

   3     2  
  

As of December 31, 2010, the probable unapproved claims related to a completed project. See Note 9 for a discussion of U.S. government contract claims, which are not included in the table above.

Included in the table above are contracts with probable unapproved claims that will likely not be settled within one year totaling $19 million and $20 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which are reflected as a non-current asset in “Noncurrent unbilled receivables on uncompleted contracts” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Other probable unapproved claims and change orders that we believe will be settled within one year, have been recorded as a current asset in “Unbilled receivables on uncompleted contracts” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

PEMEX Arbitration.In 1997 and 1998 we entered into three contracts with PEMEX, the project owner, to build offshore platforms, pipelines and related structures in the Bay of Campeche offshore Mexico. The three contracts were known as EPC 1, EPC 22 and EPC 28. All three projects encountered significant schedule delays and increased costsprevious forecasts due to problems with design work, late delivery and defects in equipment, increases in scope and other changes. PEMEX took

possession of the offshore facilities of EPC 1 in March 2004 after having achieved oil production but prior to our completion of our scope of work pursuant to the contract.

We filed for arbitration with the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) in 2004 claiming recovery of damages of $323 million for EPC 1 and PEMEX subsequently filed counterclaims totaling $157 million. The EPC 1 arbitration hearings were held in November 2007. In December 2009, the ICC ruled in our favor and we were awarded a total of approximately $351 million including legal and administrative recovery fees as well as interest. PEMEX was awarded approximately $6 million on counterclaims, plus interest on a portion of that sum. The amount of the award exceeded the book value of our claim receivable resulting in our recognition of a $183 million of operating income and $117 million of net income in the fourth quarter of 2009. The arbitration award is legally binding and we filed a proceeding in U.S. Federal Court to recognize the award pursuant to which hearings were held in July 2010. The Court entered judgment on November 2, 2010 in our favor. The judgment included an award of approximately $356 million in our favor as of October 5, 2010, plus interest thereon until paid. PEMEX initiated an appeal and a stay related to the enforcement of the judgment which was granted by the Lower District Court and PEMEX was required to post collateral of $395 million with the court registry.

PEMEX has attempted to nullify the award in Mexican court. The Mexican trial court rejected PEMEX’s nullification petition. PEMEX has filed additional appeals in the Mexican Courts. We will respond to further efforts by PEMEX to nullify our award as may be required. Although it is possible we could resolve and collect the amounts duelosses from PEMEX in the next 12 months, we believe the timing of the collection of the award is uncertain and therefore, we have continued to classify the amount due from PEMEX as a long term receivable included in “Noncurrent unbilled receivable on uncompleted contracts” as of December 31, 2010. No adjustments have been made to our receivable balance since recognition of the initial award in the fourth quarter of 2009. Depending on the timing and amount ultimately settled with PEMEX, we could recognize an additional gain upon collection of the award.

Note 5. Business Segment Information

We provide a wide range of services, but the management of our business is heavily focused on majorongoing projects within each of our reportable segments. At any given time, a relatively few number of projects and joint ventures represent a substantial part of our operations. Our equity in earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting is included in revenue of the applicable segment.

Business Reorganization

Our reportable segments are consistent with the financial information that our chief executive officer (“CEO”), who is our chief operating decision maker, reviews to evaluate operating performance and make resource allocation decisions. In the first quarter of 2010, we reorganized our business into discrete engineering and construction business units, each focused on a specific segment of the market with identifiable customers, business strategies, and sales and marketing capabilities. The reorganization includes the realignment of certain underlying projects among our existing business units as well as the transfer of certain projects to several newly formed business units as further described below. Certain realigned business units are reported under the newly formed Hydrocarbons and Infrastructure, Government & Power (“IGP”) business segments which are reportable segments as defined by the criteria in Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 280 – Segment Reporting. Each business segment is led by a business segment president who reports directly to our chief operating decision maker. Our Services segment continues to operate as a stand-alone reportable segment reporting directly to our chief operating decision maker. Our Ventures business unit was not impacted by the reorganization. We have revised our segment reporting to represent how we now manage our business, restating prior periods to conform to the current segment presentation.

The following is a description of our reportable segments:

Hydrocarbons. Our Hydrocarbons business segment serves the Hydrocarbon industry by providing services ranging from prefeasibility studies to designing, and construction to commissioning of process facilities in remote locations around the world. We are involved in hydrocarbon processing which includes constructing liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) plants in several countries. Our global teams of engineers also execute and provide solutions for projects in the biofuel, carbon capture, oil and gas, olefins and petrochemical markets. The Hydrocarbons business segment includes the Gas Monetization, Oil & Gas, Downstream, and Technology business units. Prior to the 2010 business reorganization, the Downstream and Technology business units were reportedacquired as part of the Other segment and our Gas Monetization and Oil & Gas business units were collectively reported as the Upstream segment.

Our Gas Monetization business unit designs and constructs facilities that enable our customers to monetize their

natural gas resources. We design and build LNG and gas-to-liquids (“GTL”) facilities that allow for the economical development and transportation of resources from locations across the globe. Additionally, we make significant contributions in gas processing development, equipment design and innovative construction methods. Our Oil & Gas business unit delivers onshore and offshore oil and natural gas production facilities which include platforms, floating production and subsea facilities, and pipelines. We also implement the infrastructure needed to make intricate projects feasible by managing projects ranging from deepwater through landfalls, to onshore environments, in remote desert regions, tropical rain forests, and major river crossings. Our Downstream business unit provides a complete range of engineering, procurement, construction and construction services (“EPC-CS”) services, as well as program and project management, consulting, front-end engineering and design (“FEED”) for refineries, petrochemical and other plants. Our Technology business unit provides expertise related to differentiated process technologies for the coal monetization, petrochemical, refining and syngas markets.

Infrastructure, Government & Power. Our IGP business segment serves the Infrastructure, Government & Power industries delivering effective solutions to defense and governmental agencies worldwide, providing base operations, facilities management, border security, engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) services, and logistics support. We also deliver project management support and services for an array of complex initiatives and provide project management for the airfield design and construction program, runway expansion and widening, bridges, new cargo infrastructure and drainage improvements. For the industrial manufacturing sector, we provide a full range of EPC services to a variety of heavy industrial and advanced manufacturing markets, frequently employing our clients’ proprietary knowledge and technologies in strategically critical projects. For the power market, we use our full-scope EPC expertise to execute projects which play a distinctive role in increasing the world’s power generation capacity from multiple fuel sources and in enhancing the efficiency and environmental compliance of existing power facilities. The IGP business segment includes the North American Government and Defense (“NAGD”), International Government and Defence (“IGD”), Infrastructure and Minerals (“I&M”), and the Power and Industrial (“P&I”) business units. On December 21, 2010, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common shares of ENI Holdings, Inc. (“ENI”). ENI is the parent to the Roberts & Schaefer Company (“R&S”), a privately held, EPC services companyCompany. See Note 20 for material handlingfurther discussion on the acquisition.


Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships, trade names licensing agreements and processing systems. R&S provides servicesother.  The cost and associated processing infrastructure to customers in the mining and minerals, power, industrial, refining, aggregates, precious and base metals industries. R&S will be integrated into our Infrastructure, Government and Power segment.

Certain of our business units meet the definition of operating segments contained in FASB ASC 280 – Segment Reporting, but individually do not meet the quantitative thresholds as a reportable segment, nor do they share a majority of the aggregation criteria with another operating segment. These operating segments are reported on a combined basis as “Other” and include our Ventures and Allstates business units as well as corporate expenses not included in the operating segments’ results. Our segment information has been prepared in accordance with FASB ASC 280 – Segment Reporting.

Our reportable segments follow the same accounting policies as those described in Note 2 (Significant Accounting Policies). Our equity in pretax earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting is included in revenue and operating income of the applicable segment.

Reportable segment performance is evaluated by our chief operating decision maker using operating segment income which is defined as operating segment revenue less the cost of services and segment overhead directly attributable to the

operating segment. Reportable segment income excludes certain cost of services and general and administrative expenses directly attributable to the operating segment that is managed and reported at the corporate level, and corporate general and administrative expenses. We believe this is the most accurate measure of the ongoing profitability of our operating segments.

Labor cost absorption in the following table represents costs incurred by our central service labor and resource groups (above) or under the amounts charged to the operating segments. Additionally, in the following table depreciation and amortization associated with corporate assets is allocated to our operating segments for determining operating income or loss.

The tables below present information on our reportable segments.

Note 6. Goodwill9. Equity Method Investments and IntangibleVariable Interest Entities

We conduct some of our operations through joint ventures which operate through partnership, corporate, undivided interest and other business forms and are principally accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Additionally, the majority of our joint ventures are also variable interest entities which are further described under ASC 810 - Consolidations - Variable Interest Entities.

Equity Method Investments

Mantenimiento Marino de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. ("MMM"). MMM is a joint venture formed under a Partners Agreement related to the contract with PEMEX. We determined that MMM was not a variable interest entity. The MMM joint venture was set up under Mexican maritime law in order to hold navigation permits to operate in Mexican waters. The scope of the business is to render services for maintenance, repair and restoration of offshore oil and gas platforms and provisions of quartering in the territorial waters of Mexico. KBR holds a 50% interest in the MMM joint venture. Results from MMM are included in our Services business segment.

Summarized financial information

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, our summarized financial information included no amounts related to redeemable stock. Summarized financial information for all jointly owned operations including variable interest entities that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting is as follows:

Aspire Defence project. In April 2006, Aspire Defence, a joint venture between KBR and two financial investors, was awarded a privately financed project contract by the U.K. Ministry of Defence ("MoD") to upgrade and provide a range of services to the British Army’s garrisons at Aldershot and around Salisbury Plain in the United Kingdom. In addition to a package of ongoing services to be delivered over 35 years, the project includes a nine-year construction program to improve soldiers’ single living, technical and administrative accommodations, along with leisure and recreational facilities. Aspire Defence manages the existing properties and is responsible for design, refurbishment, construction and integration of new and modernized facilities. We indirectly own a 45% interest in Aspire Defence, the project company that is the holder of the 35-year concession contract. In addition, we own a 50% interest in each of two joint ventures that provide the construction and the related support services to Aspire Defence. Our financial and performance guarantees are joint and several, subject to certain limitations, with our joint venture partners. The project is funded through equity and subordinated debt provided by the project sponsors and the issuance of publicly held senior bonds which are nonrecourse to us. The entities we hold an interest in are variable interest entities; however, we are not the primary beneficiary of these entities. We account for our interests in each of the entities using the equity method of accounting. As of December 31, 2013, our assets and liabilities associated with our investment in this project, within our consolidated balance sheets, were $20 million and $2 million, respectively. Our maximum exposure to loss of $20 million indicated in the table above is limited to our equity interest and amounts payable to us for services provided to the entity as of December 31, 2013. Our maximum exposure to construction and operating joint venture losses is limited to our proportionate share of any amounts required to fund future losses incurred by those entities under their respective contracts with the project company.

Ichthys LNG project. In January 2012, we became involved in an agreement to provide EPC services to construct the Ichthys Onshore LNG Export Facility in Darwin, Australia (“Ichthys LNG project”). The project is being executed using two joint ventures, which are variable interest entities, in which we own a 30% equity interest. The investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.  At December 31, 2013, our assets and liabilities associated with our investment in this project recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets were $1 million and $18 million, respectively.  Our maximum exposure to loss of $1 million indicated in the table above is limited to our equity interest and amounts payable to us for services

provided to the entity as of December 31, 2013. In addition, the joint venture executes a project that has a lump sum component, and we have an exposure to losses if the project exceeds the lump sum component to the extent of our ownership percentage in the joint venture.

U.K. Road projects. We are involved in four privately financed projects, executed through joint ventures, to design, build, operate and maintain roadways for certain government agencies in the United Kingdom. We have a 25% ownership interest in each of these joint ventures and account for them using the equity method of accounting. The joint ventures have obtained financing through third parties that is nonrecourse to the joint venture partners. These joint ventures are variable interest entities; however, we are not the primary beneficiary. Our maximum exposure to loss represents our equity investments in these ventures.

EBIC Ammonia project. We have an investment in a development corporation that has an indirect interest in the Egypt Basic Industries Corporation (“EBIC”) ammonia plant project located in Egypt. We performed the EPC work for the project and completed our operations and maintenance services for the facility in the first half of 2012. We own 65% of this development corporation and consolidate it for financial reporting purposes. The development corporation owns a 25% ownership interest in a company that consolidates the ammonia plant which is considered a variable interest entity. The development corporation accounts for its investment in the company using the equity method of accounting. The variable interest entity is funded through debt and equity. Indebtedness of EBIC under its debt agreement is nonrecourse to us. We are not the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. As of December 31, 2013, our assets and liabilities associated with our investment in this project, within our consolidated balance sheets, were $48 million and $2 million, respectively. Our maximum exposure to loss of $29 million indicated in the table above is limited to our proportionate share of the equity investment and amounts payable to us for services provided to the entity as of December 31, 2013.

Fermoy Road project. We participate in a privately financed project executed through certain joint ventures formed to design, build, operate and maintain a toll road in southern Ireland. The joint ventures were funded through debt and were formed with minimal equity. These joint ventures are variable interest entities; however, we are not the primary beneficiary. We have up to a 25% ownership interest in the project’s joint ventures, and we are accounting for these interests using the equity method of accounting.

Gorgon LNG project. We have a 30% ownership in an Australian joint venture which was awarded a contract by Chevron in 2005 for FEED and in 2009 for EPC management ("EPCm") services to construct an LNG plant. The joint venture is considered a VIE, and, because we are the primary beneficiary, we consolidate this joint venture for financial reporting purposes. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of this project entity because we control the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the entity.

Escravos Gas-to-Liquids (“GTL”) project. During 2005, we formed a joint venture to engineer and construct a gas monetization facility in Escravos, Nigeria, which is planned to be completed in 2014. We own a 50% equity interest in the joint venture and determined that we are the primary beneficiary; accordingly, we have consolidated the joint venture for financial reporting purposes. There are no consolidated assets that collateralize the joint venture’s obligations. However, at December 31, 2013 and 2012, the joint venture had approximately $8 million and $117 million of cash, respectively, which mainly relate to advanced billings in connection with the joint venture’s obligations under the EPC contract that is nearing completion.

Fasttrax Limited project. In December 2001, the Fasttrax Joint Venture (the “JV”) was created to provide to the U.K. MoD a fleet of 92 new heavy equipment transporters (“HETs”) capable of carrying a 72-ton Challenger II tank. The JV owns, operates and maintains the HET fleet and provides heavy equipment transportation services to the British Army. The purchase of the assets was completed in 2004, and the operating and service contracts related to the assets extend through 2023. The JV’s entity structure includes a parent entity and its 100% owned subsidiary, Fasttrax Ltd (the “SPV”). KBR and its partner own each 50% of the parent entity, which is considered a variable interest entity. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of this project entity because we control the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the entity. Therefore, we consolidate this VIE.

The purchase of the HETs by the joint venture was financed through a series of bonds secured by the assets of Fasttrax Limited totaling approximately £84.9 million (approximately $120 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction) and a bridge loan totaling approximately £12.2 million (approximately $17 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction) which are nonrecourse to KBR and its partner. The bridge loan was replaced when the shareholders funded combined equity and subordinated debt in 2005. The secured bonds are an obligation of Fasttrax Limited and are not a debt obligation of KBR because they are nonrecourse to the joint venture partners. Accordingly, in the event of a default on the term loan, the lenders may only look to the resources of Fasttrax Limited for repayment. Assets collateralizing the JV’s senior bonds include cash and equivalents of

Goodwill$26 million

Business Reorganization. and property, plant and equipment of approximately $67 million, net of accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2013. See Note 11 for further details regarding our nonrecourse project-finance debt of this VIE consolidated by KBR, including the total amount of debt outstanding at December 31, 2013.

Note 10. Pension Plans

We have various retirement plans that provide retirement benefits to employees in different locations. We have elective defined contribution plans for our employees in the U.S. and retirement savings plans for our employees in the U.K., Canada and other locations. In addition, we have two defined benefit plans in the U.S. and one in the U.K. and participate in multi-employer plans in Canada.

Our defined contribution plans provide retirement benefits in return for services rendered. These plans provide an individual account for each participant and have terms that specify how contributions to the participant’s account are to be determined rather than the amount of pension benefits the participant is to receive. Contributions to these plans are based on pretax income and/or discretionary amounts determined on an annual basis. Our expense for the defined contribution plans totaled $78 million in 2013, $81 million in 2012 and $71 million in 2011.
Our defined benefit plans are funded pension plans, which define an amount of pension benefit to be provided, usually as a function of age, years of service or compensation.

We account for our defined benefit pension plans in accordance with ASC 715 - Compensation - Retirement Benefits, which requires an employer to:

recognize on its balance sheet the funded status (measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation) of the pension plan;
recognize, through comprehensive income, certain changes in the funded status of a defined benefit plan in the year in which the changes occur;
measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year; and
disclose additional information.

Assumed long-term rates of return on plan assets and discount rates for estimating benefit obligations vary for the different plans according to the local economic conditions. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was determined by a stochastic projection that takes into account asset allocation strategies, historical long-term performance of individual asset classes, an analysis of additional return (net of fees) generated by active management, risks using standard deviations and correlations of returns among the asset classes that comprise the plans’ asset mix. The discount rate used to determine the benefit obligations was computed using a yield curve approach that matches plan specific cash flows to a spot rate yield curve based on high quality corporate bonds. Because all plans have been frozen, there is no rate of compensation increase.

Plan fiduciaries of the Company’s retirement plans set investment policies and strategies and oversee its investment direction, which includes selecting investment managers, commissioning asset-liability studies and setting long-term strategic targets.  Long-term strategic investment objectives include preserving the funded status of the plan and balancing risk and return and have a wide diversification of asset types, fund strategies and fund managers.  Targeted asset allocation ranges are guidelines, not limitations and occasionally plan fiduciaries will approve allocations above or below a target range.

During 2013, the Company determined that one of its U.S. pension plans will be terminated in the near future. Accordingly, the Company changed the asset allocations for this plan by transferring amounts allocated to a balance portfolio of equities and fixed income to cash and cash equivalents as reflected in the tables below.

The target asset allocation for the U.S. and International plans for 2014 is as follows:

ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurement addresses fair value measurements and disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, categorizing the inputs used to measure fair value. The inputs and methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a description of the primary valuation methodologies and classification used for assets measured at fair value.

Fair values of our Level 1 assets are based on observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. These consist of securities valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded and funds which have readily determinable or published net asset values and may be liquidated in the near term without restrictions.

Fair values of our Level 2 assets are based on inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices that are in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Our level 2 assets include securities that are observable directly or indirectly as described above or funds which are valued using net asset values provided by the investment managers and may be liquidated at net asset value within 90 days without restrictions.

Fair values of our Level 3 assets are based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and require us to develop our own assumptions. Such assets are generally valued using net asset values provided by the investment managers, have inherent liquidity restrictions that may affect our ability to sell the investment at its net asset value within 90 days or reflect funds with lagged valuation data.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

We participate in multi-employer plans in Canada. Generally, the plans provide defined benefits to substantially all employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. Under the terms of these agreements, our obligations are discharged upon plan contributions and are not subject to any assessments for unfunded liabilities upon our termination or withdrawal.
Our aggregate contributions to these plans were $22 million in 2013 and $10 million in both 2012 and 2011. At December 31, 2013, none of the plans in which we participate are individually significant to our consolidated financial statements.

Deferred Compensation Plans
Our Elective Deferral Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation program that provides benefits payable to officers and certain key employees or their designated beneficiaries at specified future dates, upon retirement, or death. Except for $12 million of mutual funds designated for a portion of our employee deferral plan, the plan is unfunded. The mutual funds are carried at fair value which includes readily determinable or published net asset values and may be liquidated in the near term without restrictions.
The following table presents our obligations under our employee deferred compensation plan, which are included in "employee compensation and benefits", and the fair value of the designated assets which are included in "other assets" on our consolidated balance sheets.

Note 11. Debt and Other Credit Facilities

Credit Agreement

On December 2, 2011, we entered into a $1 billion, five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of international banks. The Credit Agreement is available for cash borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit related to general corporate needs. The Credit Agreement expires in December 2016; however, given that projects generally require letters of credit that extend beyond one year in length, we will likely need to enter into a new or amended credit agreement no later than 2015. Amounts drawn under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at variable rates, per annum, based either on (1) the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 1.75%, or (2) a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.50% to 0.75%, with the base rate equal to the highest of (a) reference bank’s publicly announced base rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or (c) LIBOR plus 1%. The amount of the applicable margin to be applied will be determined by the Company’s ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four fiscal quarters, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for fees on letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement at a rate equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR-based loans, except for performance letters of credit, which are priced at 50% of such applicable margin. KBR pays an issuance fee of 0.15% of the face amount of a letter of credit. KBR also pays a commitment fee of 0.25%, per annum, on any unused portion of the commitment under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2013, there were $226 million in letters of credit and no cash borrowings outstanding.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants which include financial covenants requiring maintenance of a ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA not greater than 3.5 to 1 and a minimum consolidated net worth of $2 billion plus 50% of consolidated net income for each quarter beginning December 31, 2011 and 100% of any increase in shareholders’ equity attributable to the sale of equity interests. At December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with our financial covenants.

The Credit Agreement contains a number of other covenants restricting, among other things, our ability to incur additional liens and indebtedness, enter into asset sales, repurchase our equity shares and make certain types of investments. Our subsidiaries are restricted from incurring indebtedness, except if such indebtedness relates to purchase money obligations, capitalized leases, refinancing or renewals secured by liens upon or in property acquired, constructed or improved in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200 million at any time outstanding. Additionally, our subsidiaries may incur unsecured indebtedness not to exceed $200 million in aggregate outstanding principal amount at any time. We are also permitted to repurchase our equity shares, provided that no such repurchases shall be made from proceeds borrowed under the Credit Agreement, and that the aggregate purchase price and dividends paid after December 2, 2011, does not exceed the Distribution Cap (equal to the sum of $750 million plus the lesser of (1) $400 million and (2) the amount received by us in connection with the arbitration and subsequent litigation of the PEP contracts as discussed in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements). At December 31, 2013, the remaining availability under the Distribution Cap was approximately $619 million.

Letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees

In connection with certain projects, we are required to provide letters of credit, surety bonds or guarantees to our customers. Letters of credit are provided to certain customers and counter-parties in the ordinary course of business as credit support for contractual performance guarantees, advanced payments received from customers and future funding commitments. We have approximately $2.2 billion in committed and uncommitted lines of credit to support the issuance of letters of credit and as of December 31, 2013, we have utilized in aggregate $687 million of our present letter of credit capacity. The letters of credit outstanding included $226 million issued under our Credit Agreement and $461 million issued under uncommitted bank lines at December 31, 2013. Of the total letters of credit outstanding, $249 million relate to our joint venture operations where the letters of credit are posted by our banks on our behalf using our capacity to support our agreed upon pro-rata share of obligations under various contracts executed by joint ventures of which we are a member. As the need arises, future projects will be supported by letters of credit issued under our Credit Agreement or other lines of credit arranged on a bilateral, syndicated or other basis. We believe we have adequate letter of credit capacity under our Credit Agreement and bilateral lines of credit to support our operations for the next twelve months.

Nonrecourse Project Finance Debt

Fasttrax Limited, a joint venture in which we indirectly own a 50% equity interest with an unrelated partner, was awarded a concession contract in 2001 with the U.K. Ministry of Defence (“MoD”) to provide a Heavy Equipment Transporter Service to the British Army. See Note 9 for further discussion on the joint venture. Under the terms of the arrangement, Fasttrax Limited operates and maintains 92 heavy equipment transporters (“HETs”) for a term of 22 years. The purchase of the HETs by the joint venture was financed through a series of bonds secured by the assets of Fasttrax Limited totaling approximately £84.9 million (approximately $120 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction) and a bridge loan totaling approximately £12.2 million (approximately $17 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction) which are nonrecourse to KBR and its partner. The bridge loan was replaced when the shareholders funded combined equity and subordinated debt in 2005. The secured bonds are an obligation of Fasttrax Limited and are not a debt obligation of KBR because they are nonrecourse to the joint venture partners. Accordingly, in the event of a default on the term loan, the lenders may only look to the resources of Fasttrax Limited for repayment.

The table below presents the current and noncurrent portion of the nonrecourse debt in "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets.

Current nonrecourse project-finance debt of a VIE consolidated by KBR$10
Noncurrent nonrecourse project-finance debt of a VIE consolidated by KBR$78
Total nonrecourse project-finance debt of a VIE consolidated by KBR$88

The guaranteed secured bonds were issued in two classes consisting of Class A 3.5% Index Linked Bonds in the amount of £56 million (approximately $79 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction) and Class B 5.9% Fixed Rate Bonds in the amount of £16.7 million (approximately $24 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction).  Principal payments on both classes of bonds commenced in March 2005 and are due in semi-annual installments over the term of the bonds which mature in 2021.  Subordinated notes payable to each of the 50% partners initially bear interest at 11.25% increasing to 16% over the term of the notes through 2025.  For financial reporting purposes, only our partner’s portion of the subordinated notes appears in the consolidated financial statements. Payments on the subordinated debt commenced in March 2006 and are due in semi-annual installments over the term of the notes. 

The following table summarizes the combined principal installments for both classes of bonds and subordinated notes, including inflation adjusted bond indexation over the next five years and beyond as of December 31, 2013:

We generally do not provide U.S. federal and state income taxes on the accumulated but undistributed earnings of non-United States subsidiaries except for certain entities in Mexico and certain other joint ventures, as well as for a portion of our earnings from our operations since 2012 in Australia. Taxes are provided as necessary with respect to earnings that are considered not permanently reinvested. For all other non-U.S. subsidiaries, no U.S. taxes are provided because such earnings are intended

86



to be reinvested indefinitely to finance foreign activities. These accumulated but undistributed foreign earnings could be subject to additional tax if remitted, or deemed remitted, as a dividend. As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $1.7 billion of foreign earnings on which no U.S. taxes have been provided. Were those earnings to be distributed as dividends, the additional tax due would be approximately $334 million. See Note 3 for our discussion on unrecognized deferred taxes related to certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries and joint ventures.
KBR is subject to a tax sharing agreement primarily covering periods prior to the April 2007 separation from Halliburton. The tax sharing agreement provides, in part, that KBR will be responsible for any audit settlements directly attributable to its business activity for periods prior to its separation from our former parent. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we have recorded a $105 million and $49 million in "payable to our former parent" on our consolidated balance sheets, respectively, for tax related items under the tax sharing agreement. Of the $105 million, approximately $20 million is not due until KBR collects that amount from the IRS. See Note 15 for further discussion related to our transactions with our former parent.

At December 31, 2013, we had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $179 million that will expire between 2021 and 2023.

At December 31, 2013, we had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $270 million of which $124 million will expire by 2023, $93 million will expire between 2024 and 2033 and $53 million can be carried forward indefinitely. At December 31, 2013, we also have federal and state income tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $85 million and $520 million, respectively, which will expire by 2033. We have a related deferred tax asset recorded for all three types of net operating losses in the table above.

We believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain deferred tax assets, primarily foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards, will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $44 million. This increase from the prior year is primarily as a result of a change in assessment regarding our state income tax net operating loss carryforwards. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. The company is relying on a forecast of future taxable income in making its determination regarding the need for a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets related to state net operating losses. In the event our future taxable income is less than the forecasted amount, an additional valuation allowance may need to be recorded in the future.

KBR is the parent of a group of domestic companies that are members of a U.S. consolidated federal income tax return. We also file income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to

87



examination by tax authorities for U.S. federal or state and local income tax for years before 2007, or for non-U.S. income tax for years before 2002.
We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with guidance in ASC 740 - Income Taxes which prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of uncertain tax positions is as follows:

 $120
The total amount of uncertain tax positions that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was approximately $50 million as of December 31, 2013. The difference between this amount and the amounts reflected in the tabular reconciliation above relates primarily to deferred U.S. federal and non-U.S. income tax benefits on uncertain tax positions related to U.S. federal and non-U.S. income taxes. In the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that our uncertain tax positions could change by approximately $24 million due to the expirations of the statute of limitations.
We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions within the provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements of income. Our accrual for interest and penalties was $11 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recognized net interest and penalties charges (benefits) of $(1) million, $(6) million and $4 million, respectively related to uncertain tax positions.

As of December 31, 2013, a portion of the uncertain tax positions and accrued interest and penalties were expected to be settled for cash within one year and therefore that portion is classified in "other current liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets with the remaining balance of uncertain tax positions and related accrued interest and penalties classified in "income tax payable" on our consolidated balance sheets.

Note 13. U.S. Government Matters

We provide substantial work under our contracts to various U.S. governmental agencies, which include the United States Department of Defense (“DoD”), the Department of State and others. We may have disagreements or experience performance issues on our U.S. government contracts. When performance issues arise under any of these contracts, the government retains the right to pursue various remedies, including challenges to expenditures, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions or debarment from future business with the government.

With the U.S. Army's withdrawal from Iraq, our work with the U.S. government in the war zone areas has significantly declined. We have been in the process of closeout with these contracts since 2011, and we expect the closeout process to continue for several years. As a result of our work in a war zone from 2002 to 2011, the government has multiple claims against us and we have multiple claims against the government, all of which need to be resolved to close the contracts. The closeout process includes resolving objections raised by the government through a billing dispute process referred to as Form 1s and Memorandums for Record ("MFRs") and resolving results from government audits. We also have matters related to ongoing litigation or investigations involving U.S. government contracts. We anticipate billing additional labor, vendor resolution and litigation costs as we resolve the open matters. At this time, we cannot determine the timing or net amounts to be collected or paid to close out these contracts.

Form 1s

As of December 31, 2013, the government has issued Form 1s questioning or objecting to costs billed to them totaling $276 million. Of this amount, the government has withheld payments to us for $138 million which we have recorded in "claims and accounts receivable" on our consolidated balance sheets. We believe the amount we have invoiced the customer is in compliance with our contract terms; however, we evaluate our ability to recover these amounts from our customer. We have accrued $76

88



million as our estimate of probable loss as a reduction to "claims and accounts receivable" and in "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. Further, we have withheld payments of $50 million to subcontractors related to pay-when-paid contractual terms.

Private Security. In February 2007, we received a Form 1 from the Defense Contract Audit Agency ("DCAA") informing us of the government's intent to deny reimbursement to us under the LogCAP III contract for amounts related to the use of private security contractors ("PSCs") by KBR and a subcontractor in connection with its work for KBR providing dining facility services in Iraq between 2003 and 2006. The Form 1 was issued for $56 million in billings. The government had previously paid $11 million and has withheld payments of $45 million, which as of December 31, 2013 we have recorded due from the government related to this matter in "claims and accounts receivable" on our consolidated balance sheets. We believe the likelihood that we will incur a loss related to this matter is remote, and therefore we have not accrued any loss provisions related to this matter.

The government has indicated that it believes our LogCAP III contract prohibited us and our subcontractors from billing amounts related to the use of PSCs. We believe that, while the LogCAP III contract obligated the Department of the Army ("Army") to provide force protection, it did not prohibit us or any of our subcontractors from using PSCs to provide force protection to KBR or subcontractor personnel. We also contend that the Army breached its obligation to provide force protection. In addition, a significant portion of our subcontracts were fixed price subcontracts awarded without obtaining certified cost or pricing data. As a result, we did not receive details of the subcontractors’ cost estimate, and it is our position that we were not legally entitled to that information. Accordingly, we believe that we are entitled to reimbursement by the Army for the amounts charged by our subcontractors, even if they incurred costs for PSCs. Therefore, we do not agree with the Army’s position that such costs are unallowable and that they were entitled to withhold payment for the billed amounts in question. We presented our claims for reimbursement to the Armed Services Board Contract Appeals ("ASBCA") in late 2013 and expect a ruling in 2014.

Containers. In June 2005, the DCAA questioned billings related to costs associated with providing containerized housing for soldiers and supporting civilian personnel in Iraq. The Defense Contract Management Agency ("DCMA") agreed that payment for the billings be withheld pending receipt of additional explanation or documentation to support the subcontract costs. The Form 1 was issued for $51 million in billings. The government had previously paid $25 million and has withheld payments of $26 million.

As of December 31, 2013, we have recorded $41 million (of which the government has withheld $26 million) due from the government related to these matters in "claims and accounts receivable" on our consolidated balance sheets and have withheld payments to subcontractors of $45 million related to pay-when-paid contractual terms. Also, we have accrued our estimate related to any probable loss in "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. At this time, we believe that the likelihood we would incur a loss related to this matter in excess of the amounts we have withheld from subcontractors and the loss accruals we have recorded is remote.

There are three related actions stemming from the DCMA's action to disallow and withhold funds. First, in April 2008 we filed a counterclaim in arbitration against our LogCAP III subcontractor, First Kuwaiti Trading Company, to recover the amounts we paid to the subcontractor for containerized housing as further described under the caption First Kuwaiti Trading Company arbitration below. Second, during the first quarter of 2011 we filed a complaint before the ASBCA to contest the Form 1s and to recover the amounts withheld from us by the government. At the request of the government, that complaint was dismissed without prejudice in January 2013 so that the government could pursue its False Claims Act suit described below. We are free to re-file the complaint in the future. Third, this matter is also the subject of a separate claim filed by the DOJ for alleged violation of the False Claims Act as discussed further below under the heading “Investigations, Qui Tams and Litigation.”

Tamimi.
Tamimi - Form 1. In 2006, the DCAA questioned the price reasonableness of billed costs related to dining facilities in Iraq. We responded to the DCMA that we believe our costs are reasonable. The prices obtained for these services were from our subcontractor Tamimi and we are vigorously defending ourselves on these matters. The Form 1 was issued for $71 million in billings. The government had previously paid $28 million and has withheld payments of $43 million.

At December 31, 2013, we have recorded $43 million due from the government related to these matters in "claims and accounts receivable" on our consolidated balance sheets and accrued our estimate related to any probable loss in "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. At this time, we believe the likelihood we would incur a loss related to this matter in excess of the loss accruals we have recorded is remote.

In April 2012, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims ("COFC") ruled that KBR's negotiated price for certain dining facility services were not reasonable and that we were entitled to only $12 million of the amounts withheld from us by the government. As a result of this ruling, we recognized a pre-tax charge of $28 million as a reduction to revenue. We appealed the U.S. COFC

89



ruling and in September 2013, a three judge panel of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals issued its opinion upholding the ruling. We have requested a review by the entire court.

Tamimi - Department Of Justice ("DOJ"). In March 2011, the DOJ filed a counterclaim in the U.S. COFC alleging KBR employees accepted bribes from Tamimi in exchange for awarding a master agreement for DFAC services to Tamimi. The DOJ sought disgorgement of all funds paid to KBR under the master agreement as well as all award fees paid to KBR under the related task orders. Trial in the U.S. COFC took place during the fourth quarter of 2011. In conjunction with the April 2012 ruling on the Tamimi matter discussed above, the U.S. COFC issued a judgment in favor of KBR on the common law fraud counterclaim ruling that the fraud allegations brought by the DOJ were without merit. The DOJ filed a notice of appeal, and in September 2013, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals issued its opinion upholding the judgment in favor of KBR. The DOJ has sought review of this ruling.

Fly America.In 2007, the DCAA questioned costs related to our compliance with the provisions of the Fly America Act. Subject to certain exceptions, the Fly America Act requires Federal employees and others performing U.S. government-financed contracts to travel by U.S. flag air carriers. The Form 1 was issued for $6 million in billings, all of which had been previously paid by the government. No payments have been withheld by the government for this matter. At December 31, 2013, we have accrued our estimate of the cost incurred for these potentially noncompliant flights recorded in "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. At this time, we believe the likelihood we would incur a loss related to this matter in excess of the loss accruals we have recorded is remote.

There were times when we transported personnel in connection with our services for the U.S. military where we may not have been in compliance with the Fly America Act and its interpretations through the Federal Acquisition Regulations ("FAR") and the Comptroller General. In October 2011, at the request of the DCMA, we submitted an estimate of the impact of our non-compliance with the Fly America Act for 2003 and 2004. In February 2012, the DCAA commenced an audit of our estimate and this audit is in process. We will continue to work with the government to resolve this matter.

H-29. In the first quarter of 2011, we received a Form 1 from the DCAA disapproving certain transportation costs associated with replacing employees who were deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan for less than 179 days.  The DCAA claims these replacement costs violate the terms of the LogCAP III contract which expressly disallow certain costs associated with the contractor rotation of employees who have deployed less than 179 days including costs for transportation, lodging, meals, orientation and various forms of per diem allowances.  We disagree with the DCAA’s interpretation and application of the contract terms as it was applied to circumstances outside of our control including sickness, death, termination for cause or resignation and that such costs should be allowable. The Form 1 was issued for $27 million in billings, all of which had been previously paid by the government. No payments have been withheld by the government for this matter.

At December 31, 2013, we have accrued our estimate of the potentially non-compliant cost incurred recorded in "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. At this time, we do not believe we face a risk of material loss from any disallowance of these costs in excess of the loss accruals we have recorded.

CONCAP III. From February 2009 through September 2010, we reorganizedreceived Form 1s from the DCAA disapproving billed costs related to work performed under our business into discrete business units, each focused on a specific segment of the market with identifiable customers, business strategies, and sales and marketing capabilities. Certain realigned business units are reported under the newly formed Hydrocarbons and IGP segments. We have revised our segment reporting to represent how we now manage our business, restating prior periods to conform to the current segment presentationCONCAP III contract with the significant changesU.S. Navy to provide emergency construction services primarily to government facilities damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. The Form 1 was issued for $25 million in presentation discussed below.

billings. The increase in goodwill was primarily due to the acquisitiongovernment had previously paid $15 million and has withheld payments of R&S in December 2010 and Energo in April 2010. See Note 3 for further discussion of these acquired entities.

In the third quarter of 2009, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $6 million related to the AllStates staffing business unit in connection with our annual goodwill impairment test on September 30, 2009. The charge was primarily the result of a decline in the staffing market, the effect of the recession on the market, and our reduced forecasts of the sales, operating income and cash flows for this reporting unit that were identified through the course of our annual planning process. As of October 1, 2010, goodwill and intangibles for this reporting unit totaled approximately $18 million, including goodwill of $12$10 million.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships, contracts, backlog, trade name licensing agreements and other. 


As of December 31, 20102013, we have recorded $10 million due from the government related to these matters in "claims and 2009, the cost and accumulated amortizationaccounts receivable" on our consolidated balance sheets. As of our intangible assets were as follows:

At this time, we believe that have been written downthe likelihood we would incur a loss related to their fair values due to impairment, property, plant, and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is generally provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful livesthis matter in excess of the assets.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, we recognized a $5 million impairment charge on long-lived assets associated with a technology center in our Hydrocarbons segmentU.S. Navy primarily related to equipment, landsubcontract costs that were either inappropriately bid, included unallowable profit markup or were unreasonable. In February 2012, the Contracting Officer rendered a Contracting Officer Final Determination (“COFD”) disallowing $15 million of direct costs. We filed an appeal with the ASBCA in June 2012. We believe we undertook adequate and buildings. Our Hydrocarbons segment intendsreasonable steps to replaceensure that proper bidding procedures were followed and the functionamounts billed to the government were reasonable and not in violation of the technology operating centerFAR.


Other. The government has issued Form 1s for other matters questioning $40 million of billed costs. For these matters, the government previously paid $26 million and has withheld payment of $14 million, which we have recorded in "claims and accounts receivable" on our consolidated balance sheets. We have accrued our estimate of probable loss in "other liabilities" on

90



our consolidated balance sheets. At this time, we believe that the likelihood we would incur a loss related to this matter in excess of the amounts we have accrued is remote.

Audits

In addition to reviews being performed by the U.S. government through alliancesthe Form 1 process, the negotiation, administration and joint-venturessettlement of our contracts, consisting primarily of DoD contracts, are subject to audit by the DCAA, which serves in an advisory role to the DCMA. The DCMA is responsible for the administration of our contracts. The scope of these audits include, among other things, the allowability, allocability and reasonableness of incurred costs, provisional approval of annual billing rates, approval of annual overhead rates, compliance with third parties rather than direct ownership. the FAR and Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”), compliance with certain unique contract clauses and audits of certain aspects of our internal control systems. We attempt to resolve all issues identified in audit reports by working directly with the DCAA and the Administrative Contracting Officers ("ACOs").

As a result of these audits, there are risks that what we have billed as recoverable costs may be assessed by the government to be unallowable. We believe our decision to sellbillings are in compliance with our contract terms. In some cases, we may not reach agreement with the assets, we adjustedDCAA or the carrying values to fair valueACOs regarding potentially unallowable costs which may result in our filing of claims in various courts such as the ASBCA or the U.S. COFC. We have accrued our estimate of potentially unallowable costs using a combination of specific estimates and our settlement rate experience with the government. As of December 31, 20102013, we have accrued $44 million as our estimate of probable loss as a reduction to "claims and accounts receivable" and in "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets.

We only include amounts in revenue related to disputed and potentially unallowable costs when we determine it is probable that such faircosts will result in the collection of revenue. We generally do not recognize additional revenue for disputed or potentially unallowable costs for which revenue has been previously reduced until we reach agreement with the DCAA and/or the ACOs that such costs are allowable.

Investigations, Qui Tams and Litigation

The following matters relate to ongoing litigation or investigations involving U.S. government contracts.

First Kuwaiti Trading Company arbitration. In April 2008, First Kuwaiti Trading Company ("FKTC" or "First Kuwaiti"), one of our LogCAP III subcontractors, filed for arbitration of a subcontract under which KBR had leased vehicles related to work performed on our LogCAP III contract. The FKTC arbitration is conducted under the rules of the American Association/International Centre for Dispute Resolution and the venue is the District of Columbia. First Kuwaiti alleged that we did not return or pay rent for many of the vehicles and sought damages in the amount of $134 million. After complete hearings on all of FKTC's claims, an arbitration panel awarded $16 million to FKTC for claims involving damages on lost or unreturned vehicles. In addition, we have stipulated that we owe FKTC $29 million in connection with five other subcontracts. We believe any damages ultimately awarded to First Kuwaiti will be billable under the LogCAP III contract. Accordingly, we have accrued amounts in "accounts payable and "other current liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets and related amounts in "claims and accounts receivable" on our consolidated balance sheets for the amounts awarded to First Kuwaiti pursuant to the terms of the contract.

Electrocution litigation. During 2008, a lawsuit was filed against KBR in Pittsburgh, PA, in the Allegheny County Common Pleas Court alleging that the Company was responsible for an electrical incident which resulted in the death of a soldier. This incident occurred at the Radwaniyah Palace Complex near Baghdad, Iraq. It is alleged in the suit that the electrocution incident was caused by improper electrical maintenance or other electrical work. KBR denies that its conduct was the cause of the event and denies legal responsibility. Plaintiffs are claiming unspecified damages for personal injury, death and loss of consortium by the parents. On July 13, 2012, the Court granted our motions to dismiss, concluding that the case is barred by the Political Question Doctrine and preempted by the Combatant Activities Exception to the Federal Tort Claims Act. The plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in the Western District of Pennsylvania. In August 2013, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion reversing the trial court's dismissal and remanding for further findings. KBR filed its motion for rehearing en banc, which was denied, and we have filed an application for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court. At this time, we believe the likelihood we would incur a loss related to this matter is remote. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no amounts have been accrued.

Burn Pit litigation. From November 2008 through March 2013, KBR was served with over 50 lawsuits in various states alleging exposure to toxic materials resulting from the operation of burn pits in Iraq or Afghanistan in connection with services provided by KBR under the LogCAP III contract. Each lawsuit has multiple named plaintiffs collectively representing approximately 250 individual plaintiffs. The lawsuits primarily allege negligence, willful and wanton conduct, battery, intentional infliction of emotional harm, personal injury and failure to warn of dangerous and toxic exposures which has resulted in alleged

91



illnesses for contractors and soldiers living and working in the bases where the pits were operated. The plaintiffs are claiming unspecified damages. All of the pending cases were removed to Federal Court and have been consolidated for multi-district litigation treatment before the U.S. Federal District Court in Baltimore, Maryland.

In February 2013, the Court dismissed the case against KBR, accepting all of KBR's defense claims including the Political Question Doctrine; the Combat Activities Exception in the Federal Tort Claims Act; and Derivative Sovereign Immunity. The plaintiff's filed their notice of appeal with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on March 27, 2013. The case was argued on October 30, 2013 and we are awaiting a ruling from the Court. At this time we believe the likelihood that we would incur a loss related to this matter is remote. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no amounts have been accrued.

Sodium Dichromate litigation. From December 2008 through September 2009, five cases were filed in various Federal District Courts against KBR by national guardsmen and other military personnel alleging exposure to sodium dichromate at the Qarmat Ali Water Treatment Plant in Iraq in 2003. The majority of the cases were re-filed and consolidated into two cases, with one pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas and one pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon.  A new, single plaintiff case was filed on November 30, 2012 in the District of Oregon Eugene Division. Collectively, the suits represent approximately 170 individual plaintiffs all of which are current and former national guardsmen or British soldiers who claim they were exposed to sodium dichromate while providing security services or escorting KBR employees who were working at the water treatment plant, claim that the defendants knew or should have known that the potentially toxic substance existed and posed a health hazard, and claim that the defendants negligently failed to protect the plaintiffs from exposure.  The plaintiffs are claiming unspecified damages. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“USACE”) was contractually obligated to provide a benign site free of war and environmental hazards before KBR's commencement of work on the site. KBR notified the USACE within two days after discovering the potential sodium dichromate issue and took effective measures to remediate the site.  KBR services provided to the USACE were under the direction and control of the military and therefore, KBR believes it has adequate defenses to these claims.  KBR also has asserted the Political Question Doctrine and other government contractor defenses. Additionally, the U.S. government and other studies on the effects of exposure to the sodium dichromate contamination at the water treatment plant have found no long term harm to the soldiers.

On August 16, 2012, the court in the case pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas Court denied KBR's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' claims. On August 29, 2012, the court certified its order for immediate appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and stayed proceedings in the District Court pending the appeal. On November 28, 2012, the Fifth Circuit granted KBR permission to appeal. On November 7, 2013, the Court returned the case to the trial court, holding the interlocutory appeal was improperly granted. We have sought review by the entire court on this opinion. At this time we believe the likelihood that we would incur a loss related to this matter is remote. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no amounts have been accrued.

On November 2, 2012 in the Oregon case, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon issued a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs on their claims, and awarded them approximately $10 million in actual damages and $75 million in punitive damages. We filed post-verdict motions asking the court to overrule the verdict or order a new trial. On April 26, 2013, the court ruled for plaintiffs on all issues except one, reducing the total damages to $81 million which consists of $6 million in actual damages and $75 million in punitive damages. Trials for the remaining plaintiffs in Oregon will not take place until the appellate process is concluded. The court issued a final judgment on May 10, 2013, which was consistent with the previous ruling. KBR posted an appeal bond which was approved by the court on May 23, 2013 and filed a notice of appeal on June 10, 2013. Oral arguments have not been scheduled. Additionally, five amicus curiae briefs have been filed in support of our arguments. Our basis for appeal include the court's denial of the Political Question Doctrine, the Combat Activities Exception in the Federal Tort Claims Act, and numerous other legal issues stemming from the court's rulings before and during the trial. We have already filed proceedings to enforce our rights to reimbursement and payment pursuant to the FAR under the Restore Iraqi Oil contract ("RIO contract") with the USACE. At this time we believe the likelihood that we will ultimately incur a loss related to this matter is remote. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no amounts have been accrued.

During the period of time since the first litigation was filed against us, we have incurred legal defense costs that we believe are reimbursable under the related government contract. We have billed for these costs and we have filed claims to recover the associated costs incurred to date. On November 16, 2012, we filed a suit against the U.S. government in the U.S. COFC for denying indemnity in the sodium dichromate cases (the "First COFC claim").  The RIO contract required KBR personnel to begin work in Iraq as soon as the invasion began in March 2003. Due to KBR's inability to procure adequate insurance coverage for this work, the Secretary of the Army approved the inclusion of an indemnification provision in the RIO Contract pursuant to Public Law 85-804. The First COFC claim is for more than $15 million in legal fees KBR has incurred in defending these cases and for any judgment that is issued against KBR in the litigation. On December 21, 2012, we also sent the USACE RIO Contracting Officer a certified claim for $23 million in legal costs associated with all of the sodium dichromate cases. The contracting officer declined to issue a decision on the claim. Therefore on March 6, 2013, we filed an additional claim for $23 million in the COFC

92



(the "Second COFC claim"). The COFC granted our request to treat this claim as related to the previously mentioned, pending indemnity claim. The two COFC cases are assigned to the same judge and oral arguments on the government's motions to dismiss both claims were heard on August 20, 2013. We are awaiting decision by the COFC. We filed supplemental briefs on September 16, 2013. Contemporaneously, in February 2013, we filed another claim with the RIO contracting officer due to notification we received of underfunding of the RIO contract. The contracting officer issued a decision declining this claim so we have added it to the Second COFC claim.

Qui tams. We have six active qui tams of which we are aware, and the government has joined one of them (see DOJ FCA complaint - Iraq Subcontractor below). We believe the likelihood that a loss has been incurred in the qui tams the government have not joined is remote and as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no amounts have been accrued. We do incur costs in defending the qui tams. These costs cannot be billed to the government until those matters are successfully resolved in our favor. If successfully resolved, we can bill 80% of the costs to the government under the controlling provisions of the FAR. As of December 31, 2013, we have incurred $8 million in legal costs to date in defending ourselves in qui tams.

DOJ False Claims Act complaint - Containers. In November 2012, the DOJ filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois in Rock Island, IL, related to our settlement of delay claims by our subcontractor, FKTC, in connection with FKTC's provision of living trailers for the bed down mission in Iraq in 2003-2004. The DOJ alleges that KBR knew that FKTC had submitted inflated costs; that KBR did not verify the costs; that FKTC had contractually assumed the risk for the costs which KBR submitted to the government; that KBR concealed information about FKTC's costs from the government; that KBR claimed that an adequate price analysis had been done when in fact one had not been done; and that KBR submitted false claims for reimbursement to the government in connection with FKTC's services during the bed down mission. Our contractual dispute with the Army over this settlement has been ongoing since 2005. We believe these sums were properly billed under our contract with the Army and are not prohibited under the LogCAP III contract, and we strongly contend that no fraud was committed. On May 6, 2013, KBR filed a motion to dismiss and on December 23, 2013, FKTC filed its motion to dismiss. On January 23, 2014, the U.S. government filed its opposition and the motion is pending. At this time, we believe the likelihood that we would incur a loss related to this matter is remote. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no amounts have been accrued.

DOJ False Claims Act complaint - Iraq Subcontractor. In January 2014, the DOJ filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois in Rock Island, IL, against us and two former KBR subcontractors alleging that three former KBR employees were offered and accepted kickbacks from these subcontractors in exchange for favorable treatment in the award and performance of subcontracts to be awarded during the course of KBR's performance of the LogCAP III contract in Iraq. The complaint alleges that as a result of the kickbacks, we submitted invoices with inflated or unjustified subcontract prices, resulting in alleged violations of the False Claims Act and the Anti-Kickback Act. While the suit is new, the DOJ's investigation dates back to 2004. We self-reported most of the violations and tendered credits to the government as appropriate. As of December 31, 2013, we have accrued our best estimate of probable loss related to an unfavorable settlement of this matter recorded in "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. At this time, we believe the likelihood that we would incur a loss related to this matter in excess of the amounts we have accrued is remote.

Other Matters

Claims. We have filed claims with the government related to payments not yet received for costs incurred under various government contracts. Included in our consolidated balance sheets are claims for costs incurred under various government contracts totaling $237 million at December 31, 2013. These claims relate to disputed costs and/or contracts where our costs have exceeded the government's funded value was based on third-party market pricesthe task order. We have $108 million of claims primarily from de-obligated funding on certain task orders that were also subject to Form 1s relating to certain DCAA audit issues discussed above.  We believe such disputed costs will be resolved in our favor at which time the government will be required to obligate funds from appropriations for similar assets.

the year in which resolution occurs. These claims are recorded in "claims and accounts receivable" on our consolidated balance sheets.  Of the remaining claims balance of $129 million, $120 million is recorded in "claims and accounts receivable" and the remaining is recorded in "CIE" on our consolidated balance sheets. These claims represent costs for which incremental funding is pending in the normal course of business along with specific items listed above. The claims outstanding at December 31, 2013 are considered to be probable of collection and have been previously recognized as revenue.

Note 8. Debt and Other Credit Facilities

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 3, 2009, we entered into a new syndicated, unsecured $1.1 billion three-year revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with Citibank, N.A., as agent, and a group of banks and institutional lenders replacing our previous facility, which was terminated when we entered into the new Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is used for working capital and letters of credit for general corporate purposes and expires in November 2012. While there is no sub-limit for letters of credit under this facility, letters of credit fronting commitments at December 31, 2010 totaled $880 million, which we would seek to expand if necessary. Amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at variable rates based either on the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3%, or a base rate plus 2%, with the base rate being equal to the highest of reference bank’s publicly announced base rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or LIBOR plus 1%. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for fees on the undrawn amounts of letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility of 1.5% for performance and commercial letters of credit and 3% for all others. We are also charged an issuance fee of 0.05% for the issuance of letters of credit, a per annum commitment fee of 0.625% for any unused portion of the credit line, and a per annum fronting commitment fee of 0.25%. As of December 31, 2010, there were no outstanding advances and $278 million in letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility includes financial covenants requiring maintenance of a ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA of 3.5 to 1 and a minimum consolidated net worth of $2 billion plus 50% of consolidated net income for each quarter ending after September 30, 2009 plus 100% of any increase in shareholders’ equity attributable to the sale of equity securities.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains a number of covenants restricting, among other things, our ability to incur additional liens and sales of our assets, as well as limiting the amount of investments we can make. The Revolving Credit Facility also permits us, among other things, to declare and pay shareholder dividends and/or engage in equity repurchases not to exceed $400 million in the aggregate and to incur indebtedness in respect of purchase money obligations, capitalized leases and refinancing or renewals secured by liens upon or in property acquired, constructed or improved in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200 million. At December 31, 2010, the remaining limit of the above mentioned covenant that we can use to re-acquire KBR common stock or to pay dividends is approximately $137 million. Our subsidiaries may incur unsecured indebtedness not to exceed $100 million in aggregate outstanding principal amount at any time.

Letters of credit

In connection with certain projects, we are required to provide letters of credit or surety bonds to our customers. Letters of credit are provided to customers in the ordinary course of business to guarantee advance payments from certain customers, support future joint venture funding commitments and to provide performance and completion guarantees on engineering and construction contracts. We have $1.9 billion in committed and uncommitted lines of credit to support letters of credit and as of December 31, 2010 and we had utilized $623 million of our credit capacity for letters of credit, including $37 million in letters of credit issued and outstanding under various Halliburton facilities that are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by our former parent. Surety bonds are also posted under the terms of certain contracts primarily related to state and local government projects to guarantee our performance.

The $623 million in letters of credit outstanding on KBR lines of credit was comprised of $278 million issued under our Revolving Credit Facility and $345 million issued under uncommitted bank lines at December 31, 2010. Of the total letters of credit outstanding, $274 million relate to our joint venture operations and $22 million of the letters of credit have terms that could entitle a bank to require cash collateralization on demand. Approximately $182 million of the $278 million letters of credit issued under our Revolving Credit Facility have expiry dates close to or beyond the maturity date of the facility. Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, if the original maturities date of November 2, 2012 is not extended then the issuing banks may require that we provide cash collateral for these extended letters of credit no later than 95 days prior to the original maturity date. As the need arises, future projects will be supported by letters of credit issued under our Revolving Credit Facility or arranged on a bilateral basis. We believe we have adequate letter of credit capacity under our existing Revolving Credit Facility and bilateral lines of credit to support our operations for the next twelve months.

Halliburton has guaranteed certain letters of credit and surety bonds and provided parent company guarantees related to our performance and financial commitments on certain projects. We expect to cancel these letters of credit and surety bonds as we complete the underlying projects. We agreed to pay Halliburton a quarterly carry charge, which has increased in accordance with our extension provisions, for its guarantees of our outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds and agreed to indemnify Halliburton for all losses in connection with the outstanding credit support instruments and any new credit

support instruments relating to our business for which Halliburton may become obligated following the separation. During 2009, we paid an annual fee to Halliburton calculated at 0.40% of the outstanding performance-related letters of credit, 0.80% of the outstanding financial-related letters of credit guaranteed by Halliburton and 0.25% of the outstanding guaranteed surety bonds. Effective January 1, 2010, the annual fee increased to 0.90%, 1.65% and 0.50% of the outstanding performance-related and financial-related outstanding issued letters of credit and the outstanding guaranteed surety bonds, respectively.

Nonrecourse Project Finance Debt

In 2001, Fasttrax Limited, a joint venture in which we own a 50% equity interest with an unrelated partner, was awarded a contract with the U.K. MoD to provide a fleet of 92 heavy equipment transporters (“HETs”) to the British Army. Under the terms of the arrangement, Fasttrax Limited will operate and maintain the HET fleet for a term of 22 years. The purchase of the HETs by the joint venture was financed through a series bonds secured by the assets of Fasttrax Limited totaling approximately £84.9 million and are non-recourse to KBR and its partner of which £12.2 million provided equity bridge financing. The bridge financing was replaced in 2005 with combined equity capital contributions and subordinated loans from the joint venture partners. The bonds are guaranteed by Ambac Assurance UK Ltd under a policy that guarantees the schedule of the principle and interest payments to the bond trustee in the event of non-payment by Fasttrax Limited. See Note 15 for additional details on Fasttrax Limited non-recourse project finance debt of a VIE that is consolidated by KBR.

Note 9. United States Government Contract Work

We provide substantial work under our government contracts to the United States Department of Defense and other governmental agencies. These contracts include our worldwide United States Army logistics contracts, known as LogCAP III and IV, and the U.S. Army Europe (“USAREUR”) contract.

Given the demands of working in Iraq and elsewhere for the U.S. government, as discussed further below, we have disagreements and have experienced performance issues with the various government customers for which we work. When performance issues arise under any of our government contracts, the government retains the right to pursue remedies, which could include termination, under any affected contract. If any contract were so terminated, we may not receive award fees under the affected contract, and our ability to secure future contracts could be adversely affected, although we would receive payment for amounts owed for our allowable costs under cost-reimbursable contracts. Other remedies that could be sought by our government customers for any improper activities or performance issues include sanctions such as forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines, and suspensions or debarment from doing business with the government. Further, the negative publicity that could arise from disagreements with our customers or sanctions as a result thereof could have an adverse effect on our reputation in the industry, reduce our ability to compete for new contracts, and may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow.

We have experienced and expect to be a party to various claims against us by employees, third parties, soldiers, subcontractors and others that have arisen out of our work in Iraq such as claims for wrongful termination, assaults against employees, personal injury claims by third parties and army personnel, and subcontractor claims. While we believe we conduct our operations safely, the environments in which we operate often lead to these types of claims. We believe the vast majority of these types of claims are governed by the Defense Base Act or precluded by other defenses. We have a dispute resolution program under which most employment claims are subject to binding arbitration. However, as a result of amendments to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2010, certain types of employee claims cannot be compelled to binding arbitration. An unfavorable resolution or disposition of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

Award Fees

In accordance with the provisions of the LogCAP III contract, we earn profits on our services rendered based on a combination of a fixed fee plus award fees granted by our customer. Both fees are measured as a percentage rate applied to estimated and negotiated costs. Our customer is contractually obligated to periodically convene Award-Fee Boards, which are comprised of individuals who have been designated to assist the Award Fee Determining Official (“AFDO”) in making award fee determinations. Award fees are based on evaluations of our performance using criteria set forth in the contract, which include non-binding monthly evaluations made by our customers in the field of operations. Although these criteria have historically been used by the Award-Fee Boards in reaching their recommendations, the amounts of award fees are determined at the sole discretion of the AFDO.

On February 19, 2010, KBR was notified by the AFDO that a determination had been made regarding the Company’s

performance for the period January 2008 to April 2008 in Iraq. The notice stated that based on information received from various Department of Defense individuals and organizations after the date of the evaluation board held in June 2008, the AFDO made a unilateral decision to grant no award fees for the period of performance from January 2008 to April 2008.

As a result of the AFDO’s adverse determination, in the fourth quarter of 2009, we reversed award fees that had previously been estimated as earned and recognized as revenue. Until we are able to reliably estimate fees to be awarded in the future, we will recognize award fees on the LogCAP III contract in the period they are awarded. In May 2010, we recognized an award fee of approximately $60 million representing approximately 47% of the available award fee pool for the period of performance from May 2008 through August 2009 which we recorded as an increase to revenue in the second quarter of 2010. In September 2010, we recognized an award fee of approximately $34 million representing approximately 66% of the available award fee pool for the period of performance from September 2009 through February 2010 on task orders in Iraq and from September 2009 through May 2010 on task orders in Afghanistan, which was recorded as an increase to revenue in the third quarter of 2010.

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2009, we recognized award fees on the LogCAP III contract using an estimated accrual of the amounts to be awarded. Once task orders underlying the work are definitized and award fees are granted, we adjusted our estimate of award fees to the actual amounts earned. We used 72% as our accrual rate through the third quarter of 2009.

Government Compliance Matters

The negotiation, administration, and settlement of our contracts with the U.S. Government, consisting primarily of Department of Defense contracts, are subject to audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”), which serves in an advisory role to the Defense Contract Management Agency (“DCMA”) which is responsible for the administration of our contracts. The scope of these audits include, among other things, the allowability, allocability, and reasonableness of incurred costs, approval of annual overhead rates, compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) and Cost Accounting Standard (“CAS”) Regulations, compliance with certain unique contract clauses, and audits of certain aspects of our internal control systems. Issues identified during these audits are typically discussed and reviewed with us, and certain matters are included in audit reports issued by the DCAA, with its recommendations to our customer’s administrative contracting officer (“ACO”). We attempt to resolve all issues identified in audit reports by working directly with the DCAA and the ACO. When agreement cannot be reached, DCAA may issue a Form 1, “Notice of Contract Costs Suspended and/or Disapproved,” which recommends withholding the previously paid amounts or it may issue an advisory report to the ACO. KBR is permitted to respond to these documents and provide additional support. At December 31, 2010, we had open Form 1’s from the DCAA recommending suspension of payments totaling approximately $319 million associated with our contract costs incurred in prior years, of which approximately $160 million has been withheld from our current billings. As a consequence, for certain of these matters, we have withheld approximately $81 million from our subcontractors under the payment terms of those contracts. In addition, we have outstanding demand letters received from our customer requesting that we remit a total of $84 million of disapproved costs for which we currently do not intend to pay. We continue to work with our ACO’s, the DCAA and our subcontractors to resolve these issues. However, for certain of these matters, we have filed claims with the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals or the United States Court of Federal Claims.

KBR excludes from billings to the U.S. Government costs that are expressly unallowable, or mutually agreed to be unallowable, or not allocable to government contracts per applicable regulations. Revenue recorded for government contract work is reduced for our estimate of potentially refundable costs related to issues that may be categorized as disputed or unallowable as a result of cost overruns or the audit process. Our estimates of potentially unallowable costs are based upon, among other things, our internal analysis of the facts and circumstances, terms of the contracts and the applicable provisions of the FAR, quality of supporting documentation for costs incurred, and subcontract terms as applicable. From time to time, we engage outside counsel to advise us on certain matters in determining whether certain costs are allowable. We also review our analysis and findings with the ACO as appropriate. In some cases, we may not reach agreement with the DCAA or the ACO regarding potentially unallowable costs which may result in our filing of claims in various courts such as the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (“ASBCA”) or the United States Court of Federal Claims (“COFC”). We only include amounts in revenue related to disputed and potentially unallowable costs when we determine it is probable that such costs will result in revenue. We generally do not recognize additional revenue for disputed or potentially unallowable costs for which revenue has been previously reduced until we reach agreement with the DCAA and/or the ACO that such costs are allowable.

Certain issues raised as a result of contract audits and other investigations are discussed below.

Private Security. In February 2007, we received a Form 1 notice from the Department of the Army informing us of their intent to adjust payments under the LogCAP III contract associated with the cost incurred for the years 2003 through

2006 by certain of our subcontractors to provide security to their employees. Based on that notice, the Army withheld its initial assessment of $20 million. The Army based its initial assessment on one subcontract wherein, based on communications with the subcontractor, the Army estimated 6% of the total subcontract cost related to the private security costs. The Army previously indicated that not all task orders and subcontracts have been reviewed and that they may make additional adjustments. In August 2009, we received a Form 1 notice from the DCAA disapproving an additional $83 million of costs incurred by us and our subcontractors to provide security during the same periods. Since that time, the Army withheld an additional $24 million in payments from us bringing the total payments withheld to approximately $44 million as of December 31, 2010 out of the Form 1 notices issued to date of $103 million.

The Army indicated that they believe our LogCAP III contract prohibits us and our subcontractors from billing costs of privately acquired security. We believe that, while the LogCAP III contract anticipates that the Army will provide force protection to KBR employees, it does not prohibit us or any of our subcontractors from using private security services to provide force protection to KBR or subcontractor personnel. In addition, a significant portion of our subcontracts are competitively bid fixed price subcontracts. As a result, we do not receive details of the subcontractors’ cost estimate nor are we legally entitled to it. Further, we have not paid our subcontractors any additional compensation for security services. Accordingly, we believe that we are entitled to reimbursement by the Army for the cost of services provided by us or our subcontractors, even if they incurred costs for private force protection services. Therefore, we believe that the Army’s position that such costs are unallowable and that they are entitled to withhold amounts incurred for such costs is wrong as a matter of law.

In 2007, we provided at the Army’s request information that addresses the use of armed security either directly or indirectly charged to LogCAP III. In October 2007, we filed a claim to recover the original $20 million that was withheld which was deemed denied as a result of no response from the contracting officer. To date, we have filed appeals to the ASBCA to recover $44 million of the amounts withheld from us which is currently in the early stages of discovery. We believe these sums were properly billed under our contract with the Army. At this time, we believe the likelihood that a loss related to this matter has been incurred is remote. We have not adjusted our revenues or accrued any amounts related to this matter. This matter is also the subject of a separate claim filed by the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) for alleged violation of the False Claims Act as discussed further below under the heading “Investigations, Qui Tams and Litigation.”

Containers. In June 2005, the DCAA recommended withholding certain costs associated with providing containerized housing for soldiers and supporting civilian personnel in Iraq. The DCMA agreed that the costs be withheld pending receipt of additional explanation or documentation to support the subcontract costs. We have not received a final determination by the DCMA and, as requested, we continue to provide information to the DCMA. As of December 31, 2010, approximately $26 million of costs have been suspended under Form 1 notices and withheld from us by our customer related to this matter of which $30 million has been withheld by us from our subcontractor. In April 2008, we filed a counterclaim in arbitration against our LogCAP III subcontractor, First Kuwaiti Trading Company, to recover approximately $51 million paid to the subcontractor for containerized housing as further described under the caption First Kuwaiti Trading Company arbitration below. We will continue working with the government and our subcontractor to resolve the remaining amounts. We believe that the costs incurred associated with providing containerized housing are reasonable and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter. We do not believe that we face a risk of significant loss from any disallowance of these costs in excess of the amounts we have withheld from subcontractors and the loss accruals we have recorded. At this time, the likelihood that a loss in excess of the amount accrued for this matter is remote.

Dining facilities.In 2006, the DCAA raised questions regarding our billings and price reasonableness of costs related to dining facilities in Iraq. We responded to the DCMA that our costs are reasonable. As of December 31, 2010, we have outstanding Form 1 notices from the DCAA disapproving $165 million in costs related to these dining facilities until such time we provide documentation to support the price reasonableness of the rates negotiated with our subcontractor and demonstrate that the amounts billed were in accordance with the contract terms. We believe the prices obtained for these services were reasonable and intend to vigorously defend ourselves on this matter. We filed claims in the U.S. COFC to recover $58 million of the $80 million withheld from us by the customer. The claims proceedings are in the discovery process and no trial date has been set but is expected to occur in 2011. With respect to questions raised regarding billing in accordance with contract terms, as of December 31, 2010, we believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur losses in excess of the amount accrued for possible subcontractor costs billed to the customer that were possibly not in accordance with contract terms. However, we are unable to estimate an amount of possible loss or range of possible loss in excess of the amount accrued related to any costs billed to the customer that were not in accordance with the contract terms. We believe the prices obtained for these services were reasonable, we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter and we do not believe we face a risk of significant loss from any disallowance of these costs in excess of amounts withheld from subcontractors. As of December 31, 2010, we had withheld $41 million in payments from our subcontractors pending the resolution of these matters with our customer.

Additionally, one of our subcontractors, Tamimi, filed for arbitration to recover approximately $35 million for payments we have withheld from them pending the resolution of the Form 1 notices with our customer. In December 2010, the arbitration panel ruled that the subcontract terms were not sufficient to hold retention from Tamimi for price reasonableness matters and awarded the subcontractor $35 million plus interest thereon and certain legal costs. As a result of the arbitration award, we recorded an additional charge of $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 associated with the interest due on the accrued retention payable to Tamimi and other costs awarded. We also have a claim pending in the U.S. COFC to recover the $35 million from the U.S. government and we believe it is probable that we will recover such amounts.

Transportation costs. The DCAA, in performing its audit activities under the LogCAP III contract, raised a question about our compliance with the provisions of the Fly America Act. Subject to certain exceptions, the Fly America Act requires Federal employees and others performing U.S. Government-financed foreign air travel to travel by U.S. flag air carriers. There are times when we transported personnel in connection with our services for the U.S. military where we may not have been in compliance with the Fly America Act and its interpretations through the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the Comptroller General. As of December 31, 2010, we have accrued an estimate of the cost incurred for these potentially non-compliant flights with a corresponding reduction to revenue. The DCAA may consider additional flights to be noncompliant resulting in potential larger amounts of disallowed costs than the amount we have accrued. At this time, we cannot estimate a range of reasonably possible losses that may have been incurred, if any, in excess of the amount accrued. We will continue to work with our customer to resolve this matter.

Construction services. As of December 31, 2010, we have outstanding Form 1 notices from the DCAA disapproving approximately $25 million in costs related to work performed under our CONCAP III contract with the U.S. Navy to provide emergency construction services primarily to Government facilities damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma. The DCAA claims the costs billed to the U.S. Navy primarily related to subcontract costs that were either inappropriately bid, included unallowable profit markup or were unreasonable. In April 2010, we met with the U.S. Navy in an attempt to settle the potentially unallowable costs. As a result of the meeting, approximately $7 million of the potentially unallowable costs was agreed in principle to be allowable and approximately $1 million unallowable. We are working with the ACO to finalize a settlement of this position. Settlement of the remaining disputed amounts is pending further discussions with the customer regarding the applicable provisions of the FAR and interpretations thereof, as well as providing additional supporting documentation to the customer. As of December 31, 2010, the U.S. Navy has withheld approximately $10 million from us. We believe we undertook adequate and reasonable steps to ensure that proper bidding procedures were followed and the amounts billed to the customer were reasonable and not in violation of the FAR. As of December 31, 2010, we have accrued our estimate of probable loss related to this matter; however, it is reasonably possible we could incur additional losses.

Investigations, Qui Tams and Litigation

The following matters relate to ongoing litigation or investigations involving U.S. government contracts.

McBride Qui Tam suit. In September 2006, we became aware of a qui tam action filed against us by a former employee alleging various wrongdoings in the form of overbillings of our customer on the LogCAP III contract. This case was originally filed pending the government’s decision whether or not to participate in the suit. In June 2006, the government formally declined to participate. The principal allegations are that our compensation for the provision of Morale, Welfare and Recreation (“MWR”) facilities under LogCAP III is based on the volume of usage of those facilities and that we deliberately overstated that usage. In accordance with the contract, we charged our customer based on actual cost, not based on the number of users. It was also alleged that, during the period from November 2004 into mid-December 2004, we continued to bill the customer for lunches, although the dining facility was closed and not serving lunches. There are also allegations regarding housing containers and our provision of services to our employees and contractors. On July 5, 2007, the court granted our motion to dismiss the qui tam claims and to compel arbitration of employment claims including a claim that the plaintiff was unlawfully discharged. The majority of the plaintiff’s claims were dismissed but the plaintiff was allowed to pursue limited claims pending discovery and future motions. Substantially all employment claims were sent to arbitration under the Company’s dispute resolution program and were subsequently resolved in our favor. In January 2009, the relator filed an amended complaint which is nearing completion of the discovery process. Trial for this matter is expected in 2011. We believe the relator’s claim is without merit and that the likelihood that a loss has been incurred is remote. As of December 31, 2010, no amounts have been accrued.

First Kuwaiti Trading Company arbitration.In April 2008, First Kuwaiti Trading Company, one of our LogCAP III subcontractors, filed for arbitration of a subcontract under which KBR had leased vehicles related to work performed on our LogCAP III contract. First Kuwaiti alleged that we did not return or pay rent for many of the vehicles and seeks damages in the amount of $134 million. We filed a counterclaim to recover amounts which may ultimately be determined due to the

Government for the $51 million in suspended costs as discussed in the preceding section of this footnote titled “Containers.” Three arbitration hearings took place in 2010 in Washington, D.C. primarily related to claims involving unpaid rents and damages on lost or unreturned vehicles totaling approximately $77 million for which the arbitration panel awarded $7 million to FKTC plus an unquantified amount for repair costs on certain vehicles, damages suffered as a result of late vehicle returns, and interest thereon, to be determined at a later date. No payments are expected to occur until all claims are arbitrated and awards finalized. The next arbitration hearing is scheduled to occur in May 2011 and we believe any damages ultimately awarded to First Kuwaiti will be billable under the LogCAP III contract. Accordingly, we have accrued amounts payable and a related unbilled receivable for the amounts awarded to First Kuwaiti pursuant to the terms of the contract.

Paul Morell, Inc. d/b/a The Event Source vs. KBR, Inc. TES is a former LogCAP III subcontractor who provided DFAC services at six sites in Iraq from mid-2003 to early 2004. TES sued KBR in Federal Court in Virginia for breach of contract and tortious interference with TES’s subcontractors by awarding subsequent DFAC contracts to the subcontractors. In addition, the Government withheld funds from KBR that KBR had submitted for reimbursement of TES invoices, and at that time, TES agreed that it was not entitled to payment until KBR was paid by the Government. Eventually KBR and the Government settled the dispute, and in turn KBR and TES agreed that TES would accept, as payment in full with a release of all other claims, the amount the Government paid to KBR for TES’s services. TES filed a suit to overturn that settlement and release, claiming that KBR misrepresented the facts. The trial was completed in June 2009 and in January 2010, the Federal Court issued an order against us in favor of TES in the amount of $15 million in actual damages and interest and $4 million in punitive damages relating to the settlement and release entered into by the parties in May 2005. As of December 31, 2010, we have recorded un-reimbursable expenses and a liability of $20 million for the full amount of the awarded damages. We have filed a notice of appeal with the Court.

Electrocution litigation. During 2008, a lawsuit was filed against KBR alleging that the Company was responsible for an electrical incident which resulted in the death of a soldier. This incident occurred at the Radwaniyah Palace Complex. It is alleged in the suit that the electrocution incident was caused by improper electrical maintenance or other electrical work. We intend to vigorously defend this matter. KBR denies that its conduct was the cause of the event and denies legal responsibility. The case was removed to Federal Court where motion to dismiss was filed. The court issued a stay in the discovery of the case, pending an appeal of certain pre-trial motions to dismiss that were previously denied. In August 2010, the Court of Appeal dismissed our appeal concluding it did not have jurisdiction. The case is currently proceeding with the discovery process. We are unable to determine the likely outcome nor can we estimate a range of potential loss, if any, related to this matter at this time. As of December 31, 2010, no amounts have been accrued.

Burn Pit litigation.KBR has been served with over 50 lawsuits in various states alleging exposure to toxic materials resulting from the operation of burn pits in Iraq or Afghanistan in connection with services provided by KBR under the LogCAP III contract. Each lawsuit has multiple named plaintiffs who purport to represent a large class of unnamed persons. The lawsuits primarily allege negligence, willful and wanton conduct, battery, intentional infliction of emotional harm, personal injury and failure to warn of dangerous and toxic exposures which has resulted in alleged illnesses for contractors and soldiers living and working in the bases where the pits are operated. All of the pending cases have been removed to Federal Court, the majority of which have been consolidated for multi-district litigation treatment. In the second quarter of 2010, we filed various motions including a motion to strike an amended consolidated petition filed by the plaintiffs and a motion to dismiss which the court has taken under advisement. In the September 2010, our motion to dismiss was denied. However, our motion to strike an amended consolidated petition filed by the plaintiffs was granted. The Court directed the parties to propose a plan for limited jurisdictional discovery. In December 2010, the Court stayed virtually all proceedings pending a decision from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on three other cases involving the Political Question Doctrine and other jurisdictional issues. We intend to vigorously defend these matters. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and because the litigation is at a preliminary stage, we cannot at this time accurately predict the ultimate outcome nor can we reliably estimate a range of possible loss, if any, related to this matter at this time. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2010, no amounts have been accrued.

Convoy Ambush Litigation.In April 2004, a fuel convoy in route from Camp Anaconda to Baghdad International Airport for the U.S. Army under our LogCAP III contract was ambushed resulting in deaths and severe injuries to truck drivers hired by KBR. In 2005, survivors of the drivers killed and those that were injured in the convoy, filed suit in state court in Houston, Texas against KBR and several of its affiliates, claiming KBR deliberately intended that the drivers in the convoy would be attacked and wounded or killed. The suit also alleges KBR committed fraud in its hiring practices by failing to disclose the dangers associated with working in the Iraq combat zone. In September 2006, the case was dismissed based upon the court’s ruling that it lacked jurisdiction because the case presented a non-justiciable political question. Subsequently, three additional suits were filed, arising out of insurgent attacks on other convoys that occurred in 2004 and were likewise dismissed as non-justiciable under the Political Question Doctrine.

The plaintiffs in all cases appealed the dismissals to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals which reversed and remanded the remaining cases to trial court. In July 2008, the trial court directed substantive discovery to commence including the re-submittal of dispositive motions on various grounds including the Defense Base Act and Political Question Doctrine. In February 2010, the trial court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, denying two of our motions to dismiss the case. In March 2010, the trial court granted in part and denied in part our third motion to dismiss the case. We filed appeals on all issues with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and have moved to stay all proceedings in the trial court pending the resolution of these appeals. The cases were removed from the trial docket and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has heard all previous motions filed by both parties. In September 2010, the DOJ filed a brief in support of KBR’s position that the cases should be dismissed in their entirety based upon the exclusive provisions in the Defense Base Act. We are unable to determine the likely outcome of these cases at this time nor can we reliable estimate a range of possible loss, if any. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2010, no amounts have been accrued.

DOJ False Claims Act complaint. On April 1, 2010, the DOJ filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia alleging certain violations of the False Claims Act related to the use of private security firms. The complaint alleges, among other things, that we made false or fraudulent claims for payment under the LogCAP III contract because we allegedly knew that they contained costs of services for or that included improper use of private security. We believe these sums were properly billed under our contract with the Army and that the use of private security was not prohibited under LogCAP III. We have filed motions to dismiss the complaint which are currently pending. We have not adjusted our revenues or accrued any amounts related to this matter.

Other Matters

Claims.Included in receivables in our consolidated balance sheets are unapproved claims for costs incurred under various government contracts totaling $163 million at December 31, 2010 of which $125 million is included in “Accounts receivable” and $38 million is included in “Unbilled receivables on uncompleted contracts.” Unapproved claims relate to contracts where our costs have exceeded the customer’s funded value of the task order. The unapproved claims at December 31, 2010 include approximately $123 million resulting from the de-obligation of 2004 and 2005 funding on certain task orders that were also subject to Form 1 notices relating to certain DCAA audit issues discussed above. This amount includes $71 million that was de-obligated in 2010 which consists of funds nearing the 5-year expiration date. We believe such disputed costs will be resolved in our favor at which time the customer will be required to obligate funds from appropriations for the year in which resolution occurs. The remaining unapproved claims balance of approximately $40 million represents primarily costs for which incremental funding is pending in the normal course of business. The majority of costs in this category are normally funded within several months after the costs are incurred. The unapproved claims outstanding at December 31, 2010 are considered to be probable of collection and have been previously recognized as revenue.

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigations

On(“FCPA”) Investigations


In February 11, 2009, KBR LLC, entered a guilty plea related to violations of the Bonny Island investigationFCPA in the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Court”). KBR LLC pled guilty, related to one count of conspiring to violate the FCPA and four counts of violating the FCPA, all arising from the intent to bribe various Nigerian officials through commissions paid to agents working on behalf of TSKJ on the Bonny Island project.investigation. The plea agreement reached with the DOJ resolvesresolved all criminal charges in the DOJ’s investigation into the conduct of KBR LLC relating to the Bonny Island project, so long as the conduct was disclosed or known to DOJ before the settlement, including previously disclosed allegations of coordinated bidding. The plea agreementand called for the payment of a criminal penalty of $402 million, of which Halliburton was obligated to pay $382 million underpenalty. In addition, we settled a civil enforcement action by the terms of the indemnity in the master separation agreement, while we were obligated to pay $20 million.U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We also agreed to a period of organizational probation ofover a three years, during which we retain ayear period that ended on February 17, 2012. The monitor who assesses ourcertified that KBR’s current anti-corruption compliance program is appropriately designed and implemented to ensure compliance with the plea agreementFCPA and evaluate our FCPA compliance program over the three year period, with periodic reports to the DOJ.

On the same date, the SEC filed a complaint and we consented to the filing of a final judgment against us in the Court. The complaint and the judgment were filed as part of a settled civil enforcement action by the SEC, to resolve the civil portion of the government’s investigation of the Bonny Island project. The complaint alleges civil violations of the FCPA’s antibribery and books-and-records provisions related to the Bonny Island project. The complaint enjoins us from violating the FCPA’s antibribery, books-and-records, and internal-controls provisions and requires Halliburton and KBR, jointly and severally, to make payments totaling $177 million, all of which has been paid by Halliburton pursuant to the indemnification under the master separation agreement. The judgment also requires us to retain an independent monitor on the same terms as the plea agreement with the DOJ.

Under both the plea agreement and judgment, we have agreed to cooperate with the SEC and DOJ in their investigations of other parties involved in TSKJ and the Bonny Island project.

As a result of the settlement, in the fourth quarter 2008 we recorded the $402 million obligation to the DOJ and, accordingly, recorded a receivable from Halliburton for the $382 million that Halliburton was obligated to pay to the DOJ on our behalf. The resulting charge of $20 million to KBR was recorded in cost of sales of our Hydrocarbons business segment in the fourth quarter of 2008. Likewise, we recorded an obligation to the SEC in the amount of $177 million and a receivable from Halliburton in the same amount. As of December 31, 2010, Halliburton has paid all installments to the DOJ and SEC, and such payments totaled $559 million. Of the payments mentioned above, Halliburton paid $142 million in 2010 and $417 million in 2009, which have been reflected in the accompanying statement of cash flows as noncash operating activities. On October 1, 2010, we made the final payment to the DOJ related to our portion of the settlement agreement.

As part of the settlement of the FCPA matters, we agreed to the appointment of a corporate monitor for a period of up to three years. We proposed the appointment of a corporate monitor and received approval from the DOJ in the third quarter of 2009. We are responsible for paying the fees and expenses related to the monitor’s review and oversight of our policies and activities relating to compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations.

Because of the guilty plea by KBR LLC, we are subject to possible suspension or debarment of our ability to contractlaws.


In February 2011, M.W. Kellogg Limited (“MWKL”) reached a settlement with governmental agencies of the United States and of foreign countries. We received written confirmation from the U.S. Department of the Army stating that it does not intend to suspend or debar KBR from DoD contracting as a result of the guilty plea by KBR LLC. The U.K. Ministry of Defence (“MoD”) has indicated that it does not have any grounds to debar the KBR subsidiary with which it contracts under its public procurement regulations. Although there has been a threat to challenge the MOD’s decision not to debar KBR, no formal proceedings have been issued since the threat was made. Therefore, we believe the risk of being debarred from contracting with the MOD is low. Although we do not believe we will be suspended or debarred of our ability to contract with other governmental agencies of the United States or any other foreign countries, suspension or debarment from the government contracts business would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and cash flow.

Under the terms of the Master Separation Agreement (“MSA”), Halliburton has agreed to indemnify us, and any of our greater than 50%-owned subsidiaries, for our share of fines or other monetary penalties or direct monetary damages, including disgorgement, as a result of claims made or assessed by a governmental authority of the United States, the United Kingdom France, Nigeria, Switzerland or Algeria or a settlement thereof relating to FCPA and related corruption allegations, which could involve Halliburton and us through The M. W. Kellogg Company, M. W. Kellogg Limited (“MWKL”("U.K."), or their or our joint ventures in projects both in and outside of Nigeria, including the Bonny Island, Nigeria project. Halliburton’s indemnity will not apply to any other losses, claims, liabilities or damages assessed against us as a result of or relating to FCPA matters and related corruption allegations or to any fines or other monetary penalties or direct monetary damages, including disgorgement, assessed by governmental authorities in jurisdictions other than the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Nigeria, Switzerland or Algeria, or a settlement thereof, or assessed against entities such as TSKJ, in which we do not have an interest greater than 50%. As of December 31, 2010, we are not aware of any uncertainties related to the indemnity from Halliburton or any material limitations on our ability to recover amounts due to us for matters covered by the indemnity from Halliburton.

The U.K. Serious Fraud Office (“SFO”) conducted an investigation of activities by current and former employees of MWKL regarding the Bonny Island project. During the investigation process, MWKL self-reported to the SFO its corporate liability for corruption-related offenses arising out of the Bonny Island project and entered into a plea negotiation process under the “Attorney General’s Guidelines on Plea Discussions in Cases of Serious and Complex Fraud” issued by the Attorney General for England and Wales. In February 2011, MWKL reached a settlement with the SFO in which the SFO accepted that MWKL was not party to any unlawful conduct and assessed a civil penalty of approximately $11 million including interest and reimbursement of certain costs of the investigation.penalty. The settlement terms included a full release of all claims against MWKL, its current and former parent companies, subsidiaries and other related parties including their respective current or former officers, directors and employees with respect to the Bonny Island project. As


On March 18, 2013, we received a letter from the African Development Bank Group ("ADBG") stating that they are in the process of December 31, 2010, we recordedopening a liabilityformal investigation into corruption related to the SFO of $11 million included in “Other current liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheet. Due toBonny Island project discussed above. In accordance with the indemnity from Halliburtonclauses under the MSA,master separation agreement, we recognizednotified Halliburton and they have responded that the matter does not fall within the scope of their indemnity.  We disagree with Halliburton's position and have taken necessary actions to preserve our rights. We have been working with the ADBG to resolve the issue and have now reached an agreement in principle with the ADBG.  The Negotiated Resolution Agreement with the ADBG will likely include a receivablefinancial assessment equivalent to approximately $6.6 million as well as a three-year debarment from HalliburtonADBG-sponsored contracts of approximately $6 million in “Due to former parent, net” in our consolidated balance sheet.

In 2010, we learnedthree Madeira, Portugal-based companies that charges were filed in Nigeria against various parties including Halliburton, KBR and TSKJ Nigeria Limited based on the facts associated with our settlement of the DOJ’s FCPA investigation ofits three joint venture partners used to participate in the Bonny Island project. In December 2010, prior to KBR being served with a suit, Halliburton negotiated and paid a settlementWe have accrued the financial penalty in "accounts payable" on our consolidated balance sheets.  There can be no assurances that such an agreement with the Federal

Government of Nigeria without any admission of liability or financial impact to KBR. The settlement resulted in the dismissal of all charges against all parties. With the settlement of this matter, all known investigations in the Bonny Island project have been concluded.

Commercial Agent Fees

We have both before and after the separation from our former parent used commercial agents on some of our large-scale international projects to assist in understanding customer needs, local content requirements, vendor selection criteria and processes and in communicating information from us regarding our services and pricing. Prior to separation, it was identified by our former parent in performing its investigation of anti-corruption activities that certain of these agents may have engaged in activities that were in violation of anti-corruption laws at that timeADBG will be reached, and the terms of their agent agreements with us. Accordingly, we have ceased the receipt of services from and payment of fees to these agents. Fees for these agents are included in the total estimated cost for these projects at their completion. In connection with actions taken by U.S. Government authorities, we have removed certain unpaid agent fees from the total estimated costs in the period that we obtained sufficient evidence to conclude such agents clearly violated the terms of their contracts with us. In the first and third quarters of 2009, we reduced project cost estimates by $16 million and $5 million, respectively, as a result of making such determinations. In September 2010, we executed a final settlement agreement with one of our agents in question after the agent was reviewed and approved under our policies on business conduct. Under the terms of the settlement agreement are subject to the agent had, among other things, confirmed their understandingnegotiation and execution of definitive agreements with the ADBG.


PEMEX and compliance with KBR’s policies on business conductPEP Arbitration

In 1997 and represented that they have complied with anti-corruption laws as they relate to prior services provided to KBR. We negotiated final payment for fees to this agent on several projects in our Hydrocarbons segment resulting in an overall reduction of estimated project costs of approximately $60 million in the third quarter of 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the remaining unpaid agent fees of approximately $8 million are included in the estimated costs related to a completed project.

Barracuda-Caratinga Project Arbitration

In June 2000,1998, we entered into a contractthree contracts with Barracuda & Caratinga Leasing Company B.V.,PEP, the project owner, to developbuild offshore platforms, pipelines and related structures in the BarracudaBay of Campeche, offshore Mexico. PEP is part of PEMEX, the national oil company of Mexico. The three contracts were known as EPC 1, EPC 22 and Caratinga crude oilfields, which are located offEPC 28. All three projects encountered significant schedule delays and increased costs due to problems with design work, late delivery and defects in equipment, increases in scope and other changes. During 2008, we were successful in litigating and collecting on valid international arbitration awards against PEP on the coastEPC 22 and EPC 28 projects.


EPC 1

U.S. Proceedings. PEP took possession of Brazil. Petrobras isthe offshore facilities of EPC 1 in March 2004 after having achieved oil production but prior to our completion of our scope of work pursuant to the contract. As a contractual representative that controlsresult of the project owner. In November 2007,ensuing dispute, we executed a settlement agreementfiled for arbitration with the project owner to settle all outstanding project issues exceptInternational Chamber of Commerce ("ICC") in 2004 claiming recovery of damages of approximately $323 million for the bolts arbitration discussed below.

At Petrobras’ direction, we replaced certain bolts located onEPC 1 project. PEP subsequently filed counterclaims totaling $157 million. In December 2009, the subsea flowlines that failed through mid-November 2005,ICC ruled in our favor, and we understandwere awarded a total of approximately $351 million including legal and administrative recovery fees as well as interest. PEP was awarded approximately $6 million on counterclaims, plus interest on a portion of that additional bolts failed thereafter, which were replaced by Petrobras. These failed bolts were identified by Petrobras when it conducted inspectionssum. In connection with this award, we recognized a gain of $117 million net of tax in 2009.


Our collection efforts have been ongoing and have involved multiple actions. On November 2, 2010, we received a judgment in our favor in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to recognize the award in the U.S. of approximately $356 million plus Mexican value added tax and interest thereon until paid. PEP initiated an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On February 16, 2012, the Second Circuit issued an order remanding the case to the District Court to consider if the decision of the bolts. In March 2006, Petrobras notified us they submitted thisCollegiate Court in Mexico, described below, would have affected the trial court’s ruling.

Both parties filed briefs and hearings were conducted in May, July and September 2012 at which time the matter was put on informal stay and KBR was ordered to file suit in Mexican courts in order to determine if such remedies were, in fact, available. As requested by the District Court, we filed suit in Mexico on November 6, 2012 in the Tax and Administrative Court. On December 3, 2012, the Mexican Tax and Administrative Court decided not to admit the lawsuit, and the suit could not proceed. Additionally,

the District Court Judge held a three day hearing on April 10-12, 2013 to hear evidence about the Collegiate Court decision in Mexico described below, which annulled the arbitration claiming $220award and about whether we have a full and fair remedy in Mexico.

On August 27, 2013, the District Court entered an order stating that it would confirm the award even though it had been annulled in Mexico. On September 25, 2013, the District Court entered the signed final judgment of $465 million plus interest forto be recovered, which includes the cost of monitoring and replacing the defective stud bolts and, in addition, all of the costs and expensesoriginal confirmation of the arbitration includingaward and approximately $106 million for performance bonds discussed below, plus interest. The judgment also requires that each party pay value added tax on the costamounts each has been ordered to pay. PEP filed a notice of attorneys’ fees.appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on October 16, 2013 and posted security for the judgment pending appeal. The case is now on appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals. PEP has filed its initial brief and KBR will file its answer brief around the end of the first quarter of 2014.

Mexico Proceedings. PEP's attempt to nullify the award in Mexico was rejected by the Mexican trial court in June 2010. PEP then filed an “amparo” action on the basis that its constitutional rights had been violated and this action was denied by the Mexican court in October 2010. PEP subsequently appealed the adverse decision with the Collegiate Court in Mexico on the grounds that the arbitration tribunal did not have jurisdiction and that the award violated the public order of Mexico. Although these arguments were presented in the initial nullification and amparo action, and were rejected in both cases, in September 2011, the Collegiate Court ruled that PEP, by administratively rescinding the contract in 2004, deprived the arbitration panel of jurisdiction thereby nullifying the arbitration award. The Collegiate Court's decision is contrary to the ruling received from the ICC as well as the other Mexican courts which have denied PEP's repeated attempts to nullify the arbitration award. We also believe the Collegiate Court's decision is contrary to Mexican law governing contract arbitration. However, we do not expect the Collegiate Court's decision to affect our ability to ultimately collect the ICC arbitration award in the U.S. due to the posting of security for the judgment pending appeal and significant assets of PEP in the U.S.

Luxembourg Collection Proceedings. In 2013, we petitioned the Luxembourg court to issue two seizure orders on the assets of PEP and PEMEX which has been served on a number of banks and financial institutions in that country. We believe these institutions may have PEP and PEMEX assets that are subject to seizure which could be used to satisfy our award. However under Luxembourg procedure, we will not find out the value of the seized assets until the proceeding is validated, which will take several months. The first seizure order is for the New York award confirmation; the second seizure order is for the performance bonds payment discussed below. PEP and PEMEX contested the first seizure order and the matter was heard on May 27, 2013 where their petition to lift the seizure order was denied. PEP and PEMEX filed an appeal and on December 18, 2013, the Luxembourg Court of Appeals stated that it was dissolving the first seizure order against both PEP and PEMEX. This decision is being conducted in New York underappealed to the guidelinesLuxembourg Supreme Court.

Concurrent with our filing of the United Nations Commissionseizure order, we filed an action in Luxembourg seeking to enforce the ICC award. In March 2013, we received an order from the Luxembourg court recognizing the award. On June 25, 2013, PEMEX and PEP filed an appeal challenging the enforcement order. The hearing on International Trade Law (“UNCITRAL”). Petrobras contendsthe appeal is scheduled for May 12, 2014. We cannot begin the validation proceeding until the appeal is concluded and this could take several months.

We will continue to pursue our remedies in the U.S., Luxembourg and other jurisdictions that allwe determine have assets which can be used to pay the award.

Performance Bonds

In connection with the EPC 1 project, we had approximately $80 million in outstanding performance bonds furnished to PEP when the project was awarded. The bonds were written by a Mexican bond company and backed by a U.S. insurance company which is indemnified by KBR. As a result of the bolts installedICC arbitration award in December 2009, the panel determined that KBR had performed on the project, and we believe recovery on the bonds by PEP was precluded by the ICC Award.  PEP filed an action in Mexico in June 2010 against the Mexican bond company to collect the bonds even though the arbitration award determined the limited amounts to be paid to PEP on their counterclaims and offset those claims against the award in favor of KBR.

After multiple proceedings in various Mexican courts, we paid $108 million (which includes the $106 million discussed above and $2 million in legal and banking fees) on June 17, 2013 following a demand for payment which includes principal, interest and expenses to the Mexican bond company. On June 21, 2013, we filed a supplemental writ in Luxembourg to cover the amounts paid to the bonding company on the performance bonds. That writ was granted and served on Luxembourg banks. PEP and PEMEX have refused service in Luxembourg and we are defectivecurrently serving that writ on PEP and must be replaced.

DuringPEMEX. Since the timedecision by the Luxembourg Court of Appeals dissolved the first writ as to PEMEX, we have lifted the second writ as to PEMEX. The second writ remains in effect as to PEP.

On September 25, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York entered the signed final judgment that we addressed outstanding project issues and duringincluded the conductamount paid on the bonds plus interest. We will pursue reimbursement of the arbitration, KBR believedsums paid in the original design specificationcurrent enforcement action in the U.S. District Court for the bolts was issuedSouthern District of New York, the courts of Luxembourg, or by Petrobras, andour recently filed NAFTA arbitration seeking to recover the bonds as such,an unlawful expropriation of assets by the cost resulting from any replacement would not begovernment of Mexico.

Consistent with our responsibility. A hearing on legal and factual issues relating to liability with the arbitration panel was held in April 2008. In June 2009, we received an unfavorable ruling from the arbitration panel on the legal and factual issues as the panel decided the original design specification for the bolts originated with KBR and its subcontractors. The ruling concluded that KBR’s express warranties in the contract regarding the fitness for usetreatment of the design specifications for the bolts took precedence over any implied warranties provided by the project owner. Our potential exposure would include the costs of the bolts replaced to date by Petrobras, any incremental monitoring costs incurred by Petrobrasclaims, we have recorded $401 million in claims and damages for any other bolts that are subsequently found to be defective. Weaccounts receivable as we believe that it is probable that we have incurred some liability in connection withwill recover the replacement of bolts that have failed duringamounts awarded to us, including interest and expense and the contract warranty period which expired June 30, 2006. In May 2010, the arbitration tribunal heard arguments from both parties regarding various damage scenarios and estimates of the amount of KBR’s overall liability in this matter. The final arbitration arguments were made in August of 2010. Basedamounts we recently paid on the damage estimates presented at this hearing,bonds. PEP has sufficient assets in the U.S. and Luxembourg, which we estimate our minimum exposure, excluding interest, to be approximately $12 million representing our estimate for replacement of bolts that failed during the warranty period and were not replaced. As of December 31, 2010,believe we have a liability of $12 million and an indemnification receivable from Halliburton of $12 million. The amount of any remaining liability will be dependent upon the legal and factual issuesable to be determined by the arbitration tribunal in the final arbitration hearings. For the remaining bolts at dispute, we cannot determine that we have liability nor determine the amount of any such liability and no additional amounts have been accrued.

Any liability incurred by us in connection with the replacement of bolts that have failed to date or related to the

remaining bolts at dispute in the bolt arbitration is covered by an indemnity from our former parent Halliburton. Under the MSA, Halliburton has agreed to indemnify us and any of our greater than 50%-owned subsidiaries as of November 2006, for all out-of-pocket cash costs and expenses (except for ongoing legal costs), or cash settlements or cash arbitration awards in lieu thereof, we may incur after the effective date of the master separation agreementattach as a result of the replacementrecognition of the subsea flowline bolts installed in connection withICC arbitration award. Although it is possible we could resolve and collect the Barracuda-Caratinga project. As of December 31, 2010, we are not aware of any uncertainties related to the indemnity from Halliburton or any material limitations on our ability to recover amounts due to us for matters covered byfrom PEP in the indemnity from Halliburton. We do not believe any outcome of this matter will have a material adverse impact to our operating results or financial position.

Foreign tax laws

We conduct operations in many tax jurisdictions throughout the world. Tax laws in certain of these jurisdictions are not as mature as those found in highly developed economies. As a consequence, althoughnext 12 months, we believe we are in compliance with such laws, interpretations of these laws could be challenged by the foreign tax authorities. In many of these jurisdictions, non-income based taxes such as property taxes, sales and use taxes, and value-added taxes are assessed on our operations in that particular location. While we strive to ensure compliance with these various non-income based tax filing requirements, there have been instances where potential non-compliance exposures have been identified. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we make a provision for these exposures when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amounttiming of the exposure can be reasonably estimated. To date, such provisions have been immaterial,collection of the award is uncertain and we believe that,therefore, consistent with our prior practice, as of December 31, 2010,2013, we adequately provided for such contingencies. However, it is possible that our results of operations, cash flows, and financial position could be adversely impacted if one or more non-compliance tax exposures are asserted by any ofcontinue to classify the jurisdictions where we conduct our operations.

amount due from PEP, including the amounts paid on the performance bonds as long term.


Environmental


We are subject to numerous environmental, legal and regulatory requirements related to our operations worldwide. In the United States, these laws and regulations include, among others: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act; the Clean Air Act; the Federal Water Pollution Control Act; and the Toxic Substances Control Act. In addition to federal and state laws and regulations, other countries where we do business often have numerous environmental regulatory requirements by which we must abide in the normal course of our operations. These requirements apply to our business segments where we perform construction and industrial maintenance services or operate and maintain facilities.


We have not completed our analysis of the sitecontinue to monitor conditions at sites we own or owned and until further information is available, we are only able to estimate a possible range of remediation costs. These locations were primarily utilized for manufacturing or fabrication work and are no longer in operation. The use of these facilities created various environmental issues including deposits of metals, volatile and semi-volatile compounds and hydrocarbons impacting surface and subsurface soils and groundwater. The range of remediation costs could change depending on our ongoing site analysis and the timing and techniques used to implement remediation activities. We do not expect costs related to environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations. Based on the information presently available to us, we have accrued approximately $7$2 million for the assessment and remediation costs associated with all environmental matters and could possibly incur an additional $1 million for which represents the low end of the range of possible costs that could be as much as $14 million.

we have not accrued.


We have been named as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) in various clean-up actions taken by federal and state agencies in the U.S. Based on the early stages of these actions, weWe are unable to determine whether we will ultimately be deemed responsible for any costs associated with these actions.


Liquidated damagesLeases

Many of our engineering and construction contracts have milestone due dates that must be met or we may be subject to penalties for liquidated damages if claims are asserted and we were responsible for the delays. These generally relate to specified activities that must be met within a project by a set contractual date or achievement of a specified level of output or throughput of a plant we construct. Each contract defines the conditions under which a customer may make a claim for liquidated damages. However, in some instances, liquidated damages are not asserted by the customer, but the potential to do so is used in negotiating claims and closing out the contract.

Based upon our evaluation of our performance and other legal analysis, we have not accrued for possible liquidated damages related to several projects totaling $20 million at December 31, 2010 and $18 million at December 31, 2009 (including amounts related to our share of unconsolidated subsidiaries), that we could incur based upon completing the

projects as currently forecasted.


Leases

We are obligated under operating leases, principally for the use of land, offices, equipment, field facilities and warehouses. We recognize minimum rental expenses over the term of the lease. When a lease contains a fixed escalation of the minimum rent or rent holidays, we recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and record the difference between the recognized rental expense and the amounts payable under the lease as deferred lease credits. We have certain leases for office space where we receive allowances for leasehold improvements. We capitalize these leasehold improvements as property, plant and equipment and deferred lease credits. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic useful lives or the lease term. Total rent expense was $165$159 million $233, $149 million and $203$145 million in 2010, 20092013, 2012 and 2008,2011, respectively.

Eldridge Park I Building Lease. On September 30, 2010, we executed a lease agreement for office space located in a high-rise office building in Houston, Texas for the purpose of expanding our leased office space. The non-cancelable lease term expires on December 31, 2018. The lease term includes a rent holiday from the beginning of the lease through December 31, 2011; and a total combined leasehold improvement allowance of $4 million. Annual base rent, excluding termination fees, based on currently planned occupancy ranges from $1.6 million to $1.8 million.

In February 2010, we executed two lease amendments for office space located in two separate high-rise office buildings in Houston, Texas for the purpose of significantly expanding our current leased office space and to extend the original term of the leases to June 30, 2030. These amendments did not change our historical accounting for these agreements as operating leases. The essential provisions of the lease amendments are as follows:

601 Jefferson Building Lease. TheLease. In November 2012, the joint venture in which we hold a 50% interest sold the 601 Jefferson building in which we lease amendment extendsoffice space in Houston, Texas. We continue to lease the originalbuilding from the new owner under the same lease agreement and terms, except for the elimination of an early termination and contraction option, for which we were paid an $11 million modification fee. This lease incentive will be amortized over the remaining term of the lease, which runs through June 30, 2030 and includes renewal options for three consecutive additional periods from 5 to 10 years each at prevailing market rates. Annual base rent for the leased office space escalates ratably over the lease term from $10 million to $15 million.


500 Jefferson Building Lease. The term of the lease runs through June 30, 2030 and includes renewal options for three consecutive additional periods from 5 to 10 years each at prevailing market rates. Annual base rent for the leased office space escalates ratably over the lease term from $9$2 million to $14 million. The lease amendment includes$4 million. For a leasehold improvement allowance of $29 million primarily for the construction of leasehold improvements. The lease may be terminated under a one-timesmall fee we have agreed to change our early termination option in March 2022date for all or a portion of the leased premises subjectfrom 2022 to 2026.

Note 15. Transactions with Former Parent

In connection with our initial public offering in November 2006 and the separation of our business from Halliburton, we entered into various agreements, including, among others, a termination fee. The 601 Jefferson building is owned by a joint venture in which KBR owns 50% interest with an unrelated party owning the remaining 50% interest. The joint venture is funding the leasehold improvement allowance through joint venture partner capital contributions from each partner on a pro-rata basis.

500 Jefferson Building Lease. The lease amendment extends the original term of the lease to June 30, 2030master separation agreement, transition services agreements and includes renewal options for three consecutive additional periods from 5 to 10 years each at prevailing market rates. The lease terms include a rent holiday for the first six months of the lease beginning July 1, 2010. Annual base rent for the leased office space escalates ratably over the lease term from $2 million to $3 million. The lease amendment includes a leasehold improvement allowance of $6 million primarily for the construction of leasehold improvements.

We had commitments to provide funds to our privately financed projects of $33 million as of December 31, 2010 and $52 million as of December 31, 2009. Commitments to fund these projects are supported by letters of credit as discussed in Note 8. At December 31, 2010, approximately $17 million of the $33 million in commitments will become due within one year.

KBR is subject to a tax sharing agreement. Pursuant to our master separation agreement, primarily covering periods priorwe agreed to indemnify Halliburton for, among other matters, past, present and future liabilities related to our business and operations. We agreed to indemnify Halliburton for liabilities under various outstanding and certain additional credit support instruments relating to our business and for liabilities under litigation matters related to our business. Halliburton agreed to indemnify us for, among other things, liabilities unrelated to our business, for certain other agreed matters relating to the separation frominvestigation of FCPA and related corruption allegations and the Barracuda-Caratinga project and for other litigation matters related to Halliburton’s business. See Note 14 for further discussion on the FCPA and related corruption allegations. Under the transition services agreements, Halliburton which occurred in April 2007.provided various interim corporate support services to us and we provided various interim corporate support services to Halliburton. The tax sharing agreement provides in part,for certain allocations of U.S. income tax liabilities and other agreements between us and Halliburton with respect to tax matters.


During the fourth quarter of 2011, Halliburton provided notice and demanded payment for $256 million that KBR will be responsibleit alleged we owed under the tax sharing agreement for any audit settlements relatedvarious other tax-related transactions pertaining to its business activity for periods prior to itsour separation from Halliburton. We believe that the master separation agreement precludes the filing of this claim.

On July 3, 2012, KBR requested an arbitration panel be appointed to resolve certain intercompany issues arising under the master separation agreement before issues in dispute under the tax sharing agreement were submitted to the designated accounting referee as provided for under the terms of the tax sharing agreement.  We believe these intercompany issues were settled and released as a result of our separation from Halliburton for which KBR recorded a charge to equity of $17 million in 2007. AsHalliburton subsequently challenged the arbitration panel's jurisdiction over this dispute in Texas State Court. The Texas State Court denied Halliburton's request and Halliburton filed an appeal which is awaiting a decision.

In May 2013, an arbitration hearing was held on the matters related to the master separation agreement. On June 24, 2013 the arbitration panel ruled that claims brought by Halliburton against KBR under the tax sharing agreement were required to have been brought before an arbitration panel within two years of December 31, 2010, wethe date the claim arose or would reasonably have recorded a $43 million payablebeen discovered by the claimant and that the parties were to Halliburtonreturn to the accounting referee within thirty days for tax related itemsdetermination of the remaining claims under the tax sharing agreement.  See Note 16The remaining tax-related issues in dispute were referred to the accounting referee as provided for further discussionunder the terms of the tax sharing agreement.

On October 9, 2013, the accounting referee issued a report stating that KBR owed Halliburton approximately $105 million with each party bearing its own costs related to the matter. As a result, we increased our transactionstax provision by $38 million, reduced Paid-in Capital by $7 million (as indicated in a table in Note 16) and recognized a deferred tax asset of $29 million for available foreign tax credits. As of December 31, 2013, we have recorded $105 million to our "Payable to former parent," on our consolidated balance sheets, which is net of $22 million awarded to KBR by the accounting referee. 

As discussed above, the arbitration panel had found several of Halliburton's unspecified claims to be time barred. We have asked this arbitration panel to determine if any of Halliburton's claims submitted to the referee were time barred and to correctly interpret the relevant agreements.

Barracuda-Caratinga Project Arbitration

In June 2000, we entered into a contract with Halliburton.

Barracuda & Caratinga Leasing Company B.V. ("BCLC"), the project owner and claimant, to develop the Barracuda and Caratinga crude oilfields, which are located off the coast of Brazil. Petrobras is a contractual representative that controls the project owner. In November 2007, we executed a settlement agreement with the project owner to settle all outstanding project issues except for the bolts arbitration discussed below.


At Petrobras’ direction, we replaced certain bolts located on the subsea flowlines that failed through mid-November 2005, and we understand that additional bolts failed thereafter, which were replaced by Petrobras. These failed bolts were identified by Petrobras when it conducted inspections of the bolts. In March 2006, Petrobras notified us they submitted this matter to arbitration claiming $220 million plus interest for the cost of monitoring and replacing the defective stud bolts and, in addition, all of the costs and expenses of the arbitration including the cost of attorneys’ fees. The United States and foreign componentsarbitration was conducted in New York under the guidelines of income from continuing operations before income taxes and noncontrolling interests were as follows:

In September 2011, the arbitration panel awarded the claimant approximately $193 million. The damages awarded were based on the accumulated but undistributed earningspanel’s estimate to replace all subsea bolts, including those that did not manifest breaks, as well as legal and other costs incurred by the claimant in the arbitration and interest thereon since the date of non-United States subsidiaries exceptthe award. The panel rejected our argument, and the case law relied upon by us, that we were only liable for certain entities in Mexico and certain other joint ventures. Taxes are provided as necessary with respect to earningsbolts that are considered not permanently reinvested. For all other non-U.S. subsidiaries, no U.S. taxes are provided because such earnings are intendedwere discovered to be reinvested indefinitely to finance foreign activities. These accumulated but undistributed foreign earnings could be subject to additional tax if remitted, or deemed remitted, as a dividend. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable; however, the potential foreign tax credit associated with the deferred income would be available to reduce the resulting U.S. tax liabilities.

The primary components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related valuation allowances are as follows:

At December 31, 2010, we had $167 million of net operating loss carryforwards that expire from 2011 through 2020, loss carryforwards of $72 million that expire after 2020 and $53 million of foreign net operating loss carryforwards with indefinite expiration dates.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, our valuation allowance was increased from $30 million to $32 million primarily as a result of net operating losses for which we do not believe we will be able to utilize in certain foreign locations.

KBR is the parent of a group of domestic companies which are in the U.S. consolidated federal income tax return. We also file income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for U.S. federal or state and local income tax for years before 2003, or for non-U.S. income tax for years before 1998.

We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with guidance in FASB ASC 740 which prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of uncertain tax positions is as follows:

In millions  December 31, 2010 
  

Balance at January 1, 2010

  $41  

Increases as a result of tax positions taken during the current year

   64  

Decreases as a result of tax positions taken during a prior year

   (9

Other

   (1
  

Balance at December 31, 2010

The total amount of uncertain tax positions that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was approximately $75 million as of December 31, 2010. The difference between this amount and the amounts reflected in the tabular reconciliation above relates primarily to deferred U.S. federal and non-U.S. income tax benefits on uncertain tax positions related to U.S. federal and non-U.S. income taxes. In the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that our uncertain tax positions could change by approximately $7 million duebroken prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations.

warranty period that ended on June 30, 2006.


In January 2013, Halliburton paid $219 million to the claimant and the matter is considered concluded. We recognize interestbelieve the arbitration award to Petrobras is deductible by KBR for tax purposes and penalties related to uncertainthe indemnification payment will be treated by KBR for tax positions within the provision for income taxes in our consolidated statement of income. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had accrued approximately $23 million and $14 million, respectively, in interest and penalties. During the year ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recognized approximately $10 million, $1 million and $1 million, respectively in net interest and penalties charges related to uncertain tax positions.

As of December 31, 2010, the uncertain tax positions and accrued interest and penalties were not expected to be settled within one year and therefore are classified in noncurrent income tax payable. Increasespurposes as a result of positions taken during 2010 or in prior years were $64 million of which approximately $50 million relatedcontribution to balance sheet reclassifications from tax-related liability accounts or were offset bycapital and accordingly is not taxable. In 2011 and 2012, we recorded discrete tax benefits recognizedof $71 million and $8 million, respectively. We have reviewed this matter in the current year and therefore did not have an impact on the effective tax rate in 2010. The remaining $14 million increase relates primarily to uncertain tax positions that were not previously accrued and, consequently, had an unfavorable impact on our effective tax rate in 2010.

Other tax related matters. On June 28, 2007, we completed the disposition of our 51% interest in DML to Babcock International Group plc. In connection with the sale, we received $345 million in cash proceeds, net of direct transaction costs for our 51% interest in DML. The sale of DML resulted in a gain of approximately $101 million, net of tax of $115 million, in the year ended December 31, 2007. During the preparation of our 2007 tax return in 2008, we identified additional foreign tax credits upon completion of a tax pool study resulting from the sale of our interest in DML in the U.K. Approximately $11 millionlight of the foreign tax credits weredirect payment by Halliburton to BCLC and its public announcement that they have recorded as a tax benefit related to this transaction. Based on advice from outside legal counsel, we have determined that it is more likely than not that we are the proper taxpayer to recognize this benefit although the underlying uncertainties with respect to the tax treatment of the transaction may ultimately lead to alternate outcomes.

Stock Plans


In 2010, 2009,2013, 2012 and 2008 stock-based2011 share-based compensation awards were granted to employees under KBR stock-basedshare-based compensation plans.


KBR 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan

(Amended May 2012)


In November 2006, KBR established the KBR 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan (KBR 2006 Plan)("KBR Stock Plan"), which provides for the grant of any or all of the following types of stock-based awards:

share-based compensation listed below:


stock options, including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options;

stock appreciation rights, in tandem with stock options or freestanding;

restricted stock;

restricted stock units;

cash performance awards; and

stock value equivalent awards.


In May 2012, the KBR Stock Plan was amended to add 2 million shares of our common stock available for issuance under the KBR Stock Plan. Additionally, this amendment increased the sublimit under the Stock Plan in the form of restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards or pursuant to performance awards by 2 million. Under the terms of the KBR 2006Stock Plan, 1012 million shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance to employees and non-employee directors. The plan specifies that no more than 3.55.5 million shares can be awarded as restricted stock or restricted stock units or pursuant to cash performance

101



awards. At December 31, 2010,2013, approximately 4.94.3 million shares were available for future grants under the KBR 2006Stock Plan, of which approximately 12.3 million shares remained available for restricted stock awards or restricted stock unit awards.

KBR Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan

The KBR Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan was adopted solely for the purpose to convert Halliburton equity awards to KBR equity awards. No new awards can be made under this plan. Upon our separation from Halliburton on April 5, 2007, Halliburton stock options and restricted stock awards granted to KBR employees under Halliburton’s 1993 Stock and Incentive Plan were converted to KBR stock options and restricted stock awards. A total of 1,217,095 Halliburton stock options and 612,857 Halliburton restricted stock awards were converted into 1,966,061 KBR stock options with a weighted average exercise price per share of $9.35 and 990,080 restricted stock awards with a weighted average grant-date fair value per share of $11.01. The conversion ratio for restricted stock was based on comparative KBR and Halliburton share prices. The conversion ratio was based upon the volume weighted average stock price of KBR and Halliburton shares for a three-day average.

The converted equity awards are subject to substantially the same terms as they were under the Halliburton 1993 Stock and Incentive Plan prior to conversion. All stock options under Halliburton’s 1993 Stock and Incentive Plan were granted at the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Employee stock options vest ratably over a three- or four-year period and generally expire 10 years from the grant date.

The fair value of each option was estimated based on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model. The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of the KBR stock options for KBR employees at the date of modification:

The expected term of KBR options was based upon the average of the life of the option and the vesting period of the option. The simplified estimate of expected term was utilized as we lack sufficient history to estimate an expected term for KBR options. Volatility for KBR options was based upon a blended rate that used the historical and implied volatility of common stock for KBR and selected peers. The risk-free interest rate applied to KBR options was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of modification.


KBR Stock Options


Under KBR’s 2006Stock Plan, effective as of the closing date of the KBR initial public offering, stock options are granted with an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant and a term no greater than 10 years. The term and vesting periods are established at the discretion of the Compensation Committee at the time of each grant. We amortize the fair value of the stock options over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Options are granted from shares authorized by our boardBoard of directors. Directors.

Total number of stock options granted and the assumptions used to determine the fair value of granted options were as follows:

For KBR stock options granted in both 20102013, 2012 and 2009,2011, the fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes MertonBlack-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The expected volatility of KBR options granted in each year is based upon a blended rate that uses the historical and implied volatility of common stock for KBR and selected peers. The expected term of KBR options granted in each year is based upon the average of the life of the option and the vesting period of the option. The simplified estimate of expected term is utilized as we lack sufficient history to estimate an expected term for KBR options. The estimated dividend yield is based upon KBR’s annualized dividend rate divided by the market price of KBR’s stock on the option grant date. The risk-free interest rate is based upon the yield of USU.S. government issued treasury bills or notes on the option grant date.

KBR Restricted stock


Restricted shares issued under the KBR’s 2006Stock Plan are restricted as to sale or disposition. These restrictions lapse periodically over an extendeda period of time not exceeding 10 years. Restrictions may also lapse for early retirement and other conditions in accordance with our established policies. Upon termination of employment, shares on which restrictions have not lapsed must be returned to us, resulting in restricted stock forfeitures. The fair market value of the stock on the date of grant is amortized and ratably charged to income over the period during which the restrictions lapse on a straight-line basis. For awards with performance conditions, an evaluation is made each quarter as to the likelihood of meeting the performance criteria being met. Stock-basedcriteria. Share-based compensation is then adjusted to reflect the number of shares expected to vest and the cumulative vesting period met to date.

KBR Cash Performance Based Award Units (“Cash Performance Awards”)


Under KBR’s 2006Stock Plan, for Cash Performance Awards granted in the year 2010,2013, 2012 and 2011, performance is based 75%100% on average Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”), as compared to the average TSR of KBR’s peers, and 25% on KBR’s Return on Capital (“ROC”). For awards granted in the years 2009 and 2008, performance is based 50% on cumulative TSR, as compared to our peer group and 50% on KBR’s ROC.peers. The cash performance award units may only be paid in cash. In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718-10,718 - Compensation-Stock Compensation, the TSR portion of the performance award units are classified as liability awards and remeasured at the end of each reporting period at fair value until settlement. The fair value approach uses the Monte Carlo valuation method which analyzes the companies comprising KBR’s peer group, considering volatility, interest rate, stock beta and TSR through the grant date. The ROC calculation is based on the company’s weighted average net income from continuing operations plus (interest expense x (1-effective tax rate)), divided by average monthly capital from continuing operations. The ROC portion of the Cash Performance Award is also classified as a liability award and remeasured at the end of each reporting period based on our estimate of the amount to be paid at the end of the vesting period.


Under KBR’s 2006Stock Plan, in 2010,2013, we granted 25.230 million performance based award units (“Cash Performance Awards”) with a three-yearthree-year performance period from January 1, 20102013 to December 31, 2012.2015. In 20092012, we granted 20.429 million Cash Performance Awards with a three-year performance period from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014. In 2011, we granted 28 million Cash Performance Awards with a performance period from January 1, 20092011 to December 31, 2011. In 2008, we granted 24.3 million Cash Performance Awards with a performance period from January 1, 2008 to 2013.

KBR Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)


Under the KBR ESPP, eligible employees may withhold up to 10% of their earnings, subject to some limitations, to purchase shares of KBR’s common stock. Unless KBR’s Board of Directors shall determine otherwise, each six-month offering period commences at the beginning of February and August of each year. Employees who participate in the ESPP will receive a 5% discount on the stock price at the end of each six-month purchase period. During 2010,2013 and 2012, our employees purchased approximately 169,000131,000 and 138,000 shares, respectively, through the KBR ESPP. These shares were reissued from our treasury share account.


Share-based compensation

Stock-based compensation

The grant-date fair value of employee share options is estimated using option-pricing models. If an award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost is recognized immediately beforeas of the modification. Share-based compensation expense consists of $10 million recorded to cost of services on the consolidated income statements, while the remaining $6 million is recorded to general and administrative expenses on the consolidated income statements. The benefits of tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for the options (excess tax benefits) are classified as addition toadditional paid-in-capital, and cash retained as a result of these excess tax benefits is presented in the statementstatements of cash flows as financing cash inflows.

Note 19. Income per Share

Basic income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive income per share includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued using the treasury stock method.

A reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted income per share calculations is as follows:

Note 14.20. Business Combinations and Other Transactions

Business Combinations

ENI Holdings, Inc. (the “Roberts & Schaefer Company”). On December 21, 2010, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common shares of ENI Holdings, Inc. (“ENI”). ENI is the parent to the Roberts & Schaefer Company (“R&S”), a privately held EPC services company for material handling and processing systems. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, R&S provides services and associated processing infrastructure to customers in the mining and minerals, power, industrial, refining, aggregates, precious and base metals industries. R&S and its acquired divisions have been integrated into our IGP business segment.

The purchase price was $280 million plus estimated working capital of $17 million which included cash acquired of $8 million. The total net cash paid at closing of $289 million is subject to an escrowed holdback. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 the remaining escrowed holdback was $25 million and primarily related to security for indemnification obligations.

Due to several disputed items related to the calculation of working capital, a working capital arbitration proceeding was initiated per the terms of the stock purchase agreement. In December 2012, ENI filed a lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court alleging KBR is wrongfully withholding escrowed funds from the acquisition. In January 2013, we filed an answer denying the wrongful withholding allegation. In addition, we filed a counterclaim for indemnity and fraud under the terms of the stock purchase agreement and asked the court to stay the working capital arbitration pending the outcome of the litigation. In March 2013, ENI filed a motion to dismiss. The hearing on ENI's motion to dismiss and KBR's motion to stay the working capital arbitration took place in August 2013. The Court denied KBR's motion to stay the working capital arbitration and a hearing on the arbitration took place in December 2013.

A determination was issued in February 2014 which determined ENI is entitled to a working capital adjustment of approximately $2.4 million, which is less than what ENI claimed they were entitled to. The Court also denied in part ENI's motion to dismiss our counterclaims in their entirety. At this time, we cannot estimate a range of reasonably possible losses that may have been incurred, if any, in excess of the amounts escrowed.

The acquisition generated goodwill of approximately $250 million, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill was recognized primarily as a result of acquiring an assembled workforce, expertise and capabilities in the material handling and processing systems market, cost saving opportunities and other synergies. During 2011, we recorded an increase to goodwill of approximately $4 million primarily associated with additional purchase consideration payable to the seller, based upon our estimates of post-closing working capital adjustments and final valuation of acquired intangible assets. In the third quarter of 2012, we recognized a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $178 million related to one reporting unit in our IGP business segment in connection with our interim impairment review. The charge was primarily the result of the determination that both the actual and expected income and cash flows for our IGP business segment were substantially lower than previous forecasts due to losses from ongoing projects acquired as part of the acquisition of R&S. See Note 8 for further discussion on goodwill.

Of the total purchase price on this acquisition, $56 million was allocated to customer relationships, trade names and other intangibles. Customer relationships represent existing contracts and the underlying customer relationships and backlog are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized. Tradename intangibles include the Roberts & Schaefer and Soros brands which are amortized on a straight-lined basis over an estimated useful life of 8 - 10 years.

Other Transactions

M.W. Kellogg Limited (“MWKL”). On December 31, 2010, we obtained control of the remaining 44.94% interest in our MWKL subsidiary located in the U.K. for approximately £107 million (approximately $164 million at the exchange rate on the date of the acquisition) subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The acquisition was recorded as an equity transaction that reduced noncontrolling interests, accumulated other comprehensive income and additional paid-in capital by $180 million. We recognized direct transaction costs associated with the acquisition of approximately $1 million as a direct charge to additional paid in capital. The initial purchase price was paid on January 5, 2011. During the third quarter of 2011, we settled various post-closing adjustments that resulted in a decrease to “Paid-in capital in excess of par” of approximately $5 million. We also agreed to pay the former noncontrolling interest 44.94% of future proceeds collected on certain receivables owed to MWKL and the former noncontrolling interest agreed to indemnify us for 44.94% of certain MWKL liabilities to be settled and paid in the future. In the first quarter of 2013, we paid £9 million (approximately $14 million at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction) reflecting our accrual of 44.94% of proceeds from certain receivables owed to the former noncontrolling interest partner in MWKL.

105




LNG Joint Venture. On January 5, 2011, we sold our 50% interest in a joint venture to our joint venture partner for approximately $22 million. The joint venture was formed to execute an EPC contract for construction of an LNG plant in Indonesia. We recognized a gain on the sale of our interest of approximately $8 million which is included in “Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates” in our consolidated income statements.

Note 21. Financial Instruments and Risk Management


Foreign currency risk. Techniques in managing foreign currency risk include, but are not limited to, foreign currency investing and the use of currency derivative instruments. We selectively manage significant exposures to potential foreign exchange losses considering current market conditions, future operating activities and the associated cost in relation to the perceived risk of loss. The purpose of our foreign currency risk management activities is to protect us from the risk that the eventual U.S. dollar cash flow resulting from the sale and purchase of products and services in foreign currencies will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates.


We manage our foreign currency exposure through the use of currency derivative instruments as it relates to the major currencies, which are generally the currencies of the countries forin which we do the majority of our international business. These contractsinstruments generally have an expiration date of two years or less. Forward exchange contracts, which are commitments to buy or sell a specified amount of a foreign currency at a specified price and time, are generally used to manage identifiable foreign currency commitments. Forward exchange contracts and foreign exchange option contracts, which convey the right, but not the obligation to sell or buy a specified amount of foreign currency at a specified price, are generally used to manage exposures related to assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. None of the forward or option contracts are exchange traded. While derivative instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, the fluctuations are generally offset by the value of the underlying exposures being managed.exposures. The use of some contracts may limit our ability to benefit from favorable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.


Foreign currency contracts are not utilized to manage exposures in some currencies due primarily to the lack of available markets or cost considerations (non-traded currencies). We attempt to manage our working capital position to minimize foreign currency commitments in non-traded currencies and recognize that pricing for the services and products offered in these countries should cover the cost of exchange rate devaluations. We have historically incurred transaction losses in non-traded currencies.


Assets, liabilities and forecasted cash flowflows denominated in foreign currencies. We utilizeuse the derivative instruments described above to manage the foreign currency exposures related to specific assets and liabilities, that are denominated in foreign currencies; however, we have not elected to account for these instruments as hedges for accounting purposes. Additionally, we utilizeuse the derivative instruments described above to manage forecasted cash flowflows denominated in foreign currencies generally related to long-term engineering and construction projects. Since 2003, we have designatedWe designate these contracts related to engineering and construction projects as cash flow hedges. The ineffective portion of these hedges is included in operating income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. During 2010, 20092013, 2012 and 20082011 no hedge ineffectiveness was recognized. Unrealized gains and losses include amounts attributable to cash flow hedges placed by our consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries and are included in "accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanyingloss" on our consolidated balance sheets. We had approximately $2$1 million in unrealized net gains $1 million inas of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and no unrealized net losses and $1 million in unrealized net gains on these cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.2011. Changes in the timing or amount of the future cash flow being hedged could result in hedges becoming ineffective and, as a result, the amount of unrealized gain or loss associated with that hedge would be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss into earnings. At December 31, 2010,2013, the maximum length of time over which we are hedging our exposure to the variability in future cash flow associated with foreign currency forecasted transactions is 41 months. Estimated amounts to be recognized in earnings in 2010 are not significant.

26 months.


Notional amounts and fair market values. The notional amounts of open forward contracts and options held by our consolidated subsidiaries were $403$771 million $406, $517 million and $274$352 million at December 31, 2010, 2009,2013, 2012 and 2008,2011, respectively. The notional amounts of our foreign exchange contracts do not generally represent amounts exchanged by the parties, and thus, are not a measure of our exposure or of the cash requirements relating to these contracts. The amounts exchanged are calculated by reference to the notional amounts and by other terms of the derivatives, such as exchange rates. These contract assets (liabilities) had a fair value of

$1 million and $(1) million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.


Credit risk.risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash equivalents, investments and trade receivables. It is our practice to place our cash equivalents in time deposits and investments in high-quality investment securities with various banks, financial institutions and investment institutions.managers. We derive the majority of our revenues from engineering and construction services to the energy industry and services provided to the United States government. There are concentrations of receivables in the United States and the United Kingdom. We maintain an allowance for losses based upon the expected collectability of all trade accounts receivable.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty related to our derivative contracts. We select counterparties based on their profitability, balance sheetsheets and a capacity for timely payment of financial commitments which is unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.


Interest rate risk.risk. Certain of our unconsolidated subsidiaries and joint-ventures are exposed to interest rate risk through their variable rate borrowings. We manage ourThis variable-rate exposure to this variable-rate debtis managed with interest rate swaps that are jointly owned through our investments.swaps. We had unrealized net losses on the interest rate cash flow hedgesswaps held by our unconsolidated subsidiaries and joint-ventures of approximately $5$2 million $4, $2 million and $3$4 million as of December 31, 2010, 2009,2013, 2012 and 2008,2011, respectively.


Fair market value of financial instruments. The carrying amount of variable rate long-term debt approximates fair market value because these instruments reflect market changes to interest rates. The carrying amount of short-term financial instruments, cash and equivalents, receivables and accounts payable, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair market value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The currency derivative instruments are carried on the consolidated balance sheetsheets at fair value and are based upon third partythird-party quotes.

FASB ASC 820-10 addresses fair value measurements and disclosures, defining fair value, establishing a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expanding disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, categorizing the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy can be described as follows:

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 –Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices that are in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are included below:

Note 15. Equity Method Investments and Variable Interest Entities

We conduct some of our operations through joint ventures which are in partnership, corporate, undivided interest and other business forms and are principally accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Additionally, the majority of our joint ventures are also variable interest entities which are further described under “Variable Interest Entities”. The following is a description of our significant investments accounted for on the equity method of accounting that are not variable interest entities.

Equity Method Investments

Brown & Root Condor Spa (“BRC”). BRC is a joint venture in which we owned 49% interest. During the third quarter of 2007, we sold our 49% interest and other rights in BRC to Sonatrach for approximately $24 million resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $18 million which is included in “Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates”. As of December 31, 2010, we have not collected the remaining $18 million due from Sonatrach for the sale of our interest in BRC, which is included in “Accounts receivable.” In the fourth quarter of 2008, we filed for arbitration in an attempt to force collection. An arbitration hearing occurred in January 2011 for which we expect a decision in mid-2011. We believe the amount owed to us is probable of recovery.

MMM.MMM is a joint venture formed under a Partners Agreement related to the Mexico contract with PEMEX. The MMM joint venture was set up under Mexican maritime law in order to hold navigation permits to operate in Mexican waters. The scope of the business is to render services of maintenance, repair and restoration of offshore oil and gas platforms and provisions of quartering in the territorial waters of Mexico. KBR holds a 50% interest in the MMM joint venture. In 2009, the MMM joint venture repurchased outstanding equity interests from each of the joint venture partners on a pro-rata basis. We accounted for the transaction as a return of our initial investment resulting in a $28 million reduction of “Equity in and advances to related companies” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Consolidated summarized financial information for all jointly owned operations including variable interest entities that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting is as follows:

U.K. Road projects.We are involved in four privately financed projects, executed through joint ventures, to design, build, operate, and maintain roadways for certain government agencies in the United Kingdom. We have a 25% ownership interest in each of these joint ventures and account for them using the equity method of accounting. The joint ventures have obtained financing through third parties that is nonrecourse to the joint venture partners. These joint ventures are variable interest entities; however, we are not the primary beneficiary of these joint ventures. Our maximum exposure to loss represents our equity investments in these ventures.

Fermoy Road project.We participate in a privately financed project executed through certain joint ventures formed to design, build, operate, and maintain a toll road in southern Ireland. The joint ventures were funded through debt and were formed with minimal equity. These joint ventures are variable interest entities; however, we are not the primary beneficiary of the joint ventures. We have up to a 25% ownership interest in the project’s joint ventures, and we are accounting for these interests using the equity method of accounting.

Allenby & Connaught project.In April 2006, Aspire Defence, a joint venture between us, Carillion Plc. and two financial investors, was awarded a privately financed project contract, the Allenby & Connaught project, by the MoD to upgrade and provide a range of services to the British Army’s garrisons at Aldershot and around Salisbury Plain in the United Kingdom. In addition to a package of ongoing services to be delivered over 35 years, the project includes a nine-year construction program to improve soldiers’ single living, technical and administrative accommodations, along with leisure and recreational facilities. Aspire Defence manages the existing properties and is responsible for design, refurbishment, construction and integration of new and modernized facilities. We indirectly own a 45% interest in Aspire Defence, the project company that is the holder of the 35-year concession contract. In addition, we own a 50% interest in each of two joint ventures that provide the construction and the related support services to Aspire Defence. As of December 31, 2010, our performance through the construction phase is supported by $73 million in letters of credit and approximately $15 million in surety bonds. Furthermore, our financial and performance guarantees are joint and several, subject to certain limitations, with our joint venture partners. The project is funded through equity and subordinated debt provided by the project sponsors and the issuance of publicly held senior bonds which are nonrecourse to us. The entities we hold an interest in are variable interest entities; however, we are not the primary beneficiary of these entities. We account for our interests in each of the entities using the equity method of accounting. Our maximum exposure to construction and operating joint venture losses is limited to the funding of any future losses incurred by those entities under their respective contracts with the project company. As of December 31, 2010, our assets and liabilities associated with our investment in this project, within our consolidated balance sheet, were $31 million and $2 million, respectively. The $60 million difference between our recorded liabilities and aggregate maximum exposure to loss was primarily related to our equity investments and $33 million remaining commitment to fund subordinated debt to the project in the future.periods presented.

EBIC Ammonia project. We have an investment in a development corporation that has an indirect interest in the Egypt Basic Industries Corporation (“EBIC”) ammonia plant project located in Egypt. We are performing the engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) work for the project and operations and maintenance services for the facility. We own 65% of this development corporation and consolidate it for financial reporting purposes. The development corporation owns a 25% ownership interest in a company that consolidates the ammonia plant which is considered a variable interest entity. The development corporation accounts for its investment in the company using the equity method of accounting. The variable interest entity is funded through debt and equity. Indebtedness of EBIC under its debt agreement is non-recourse to us. We are not the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. As of December 31, 2010, our assets and liabilities associated with our investment in this project, within our consolidated balance sheet, were $55 million and $9 million, respectively. The $29 million difference between our recorded liabilities and aggregate maximum exposure to loss was related to our investment balance and other receivables in the project as of December 31, 2010.

Other Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) projects.We have equity ownership in two joint ventures to execute EPC projects. Our equity ownership ranges from 33% to 50%, and these joint ventures are variable interest entities. We are not the primary beneficiary and thus account for these joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. Our aggregate, maximum exposure to loss related to these entities was primarily comprised of our equity investment and contract receivables with both joint ventures. Our maximum exposure to loss primarily represent our equity investments in and other receivables due from these joint ventures.

Fasttrax Limited project.Effective January 1, 2010, upon the adoption of the newly issued guidance in FASB ASC 810 – Consolidation, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary of this project entity because we control the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the entity. This variable interest entity, in which we have a 50% ownership interest, was previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting because no party absorbed the majority of the expected losses which was the determining factor under the superseded standard. We have applied the requirements of FASB ASC 810 on a prospective basis from the date of adoption. Upon consolidation of this joint venture, consolidated current assets increased by $26 million primarily related to cash and equivalents, consolidated noncurrent assets increased by $89 million related to property, plant and equipment, consolidated current liabilities increased by $10 million primarily related to accounts payable, and noncurrent liabilities increased by $112 million related to the outstanding senior bonds and subordinated debt issued to finance the JV’s operations. No gain or loss was recognized by KBR upon consolidation of this VIE. Assets collateralizing the JV’s senior bonds include cash and equivalents of $21 million and property, plant, and equipment of approximately $80 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $38 million as of December 31, 2010. The bonds of the SPV, being non-recourse to KBR, are shown on the face of our condensed consolidated balance sheet as “Non-recourse project-finance debt.”

In December 2001, the Fasttrax Joint Venture (the “JV”) was created to provide to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense (“MOD”) a fleet of 92 new heavy equipment transporters (“HETs”) capable of carrying a 72-ton Challenger II tank. The JV owns, operates and maintains the HET fleet and provides heavy equipment transportation services to the British Army. The purchase of the assets was completed in 2004, and the operating and service contracts related to the assets extend through 2023. The JV’s entity structure includes a parent entity and its 100%-owned subsidiary, Fasttrax Ltd (the “SPV”). KBR and its partner own each 50% of the parent entity.

The JV’s purchase of the assets was funded through the issuance of several series guaranteed secured bonds totaling approximately £84.9 million issued by the SPV including £12.2 million which was replaced in 2005 when the shareholders funded combined equity and subordinated debt of approximately £12.2 million. The bonds are guaranteed by Ambac Assurance U.K. Ltd under a policy that guarantees the schedule of principle and interest payments to the bond trustee in the event of non-payment by Fasttrax. The total amount of non-recourse project-finance debt of a VIE consolidated by KBR at December 31, 2010, is summarized in the following table.

Escravos Gas-to-Liquids (“GTL”) project.During 2005, we formed a joint venture to engineer and construct a gas monetization facility. As noted in the VIE summary table above, we own 50% equity interest and determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the joint venture which is consolidated for financial reporting purposes. There are no consolidated assets that collateralize the joint venture’s obligations. However, at December 31, 2010 and 2009, the joint venture had

approximately $84 million and $128 million of cash, respectively, which mainly relate to advanced billings in connection with the joint venture’s obligations under the EPC contract.

Pearl GTL project. In July 2006, we were awarded, through a 50%-owned joint venture (as noted in the VIE summary table above), a contract with Qatar Shell GTL Limited to provide project management and cost-reimbursable engineering, procurement and construction management services for the Pearl GTL project in Ras Laffan, Qatar. The project, which is expected to be completed by 2011, consists of gas production facilities and a GTL plant. The joint venture is considered a VIE. We consolidate the joint venture for financial reporting purposes because we are the primary beneficiary.

Gorgon LNG project.As noted in the VIE summary table above, we have a 30% ownership in an Australian joint venture which was awarded a contract by Chevron for cost-reimbursable FEED and EPCM services to construct a LNG plant. The joint venture is considered a VIE, and, as a result of our being the primary beneficiary, we consolidate this joint venture for financial reporting purposes.

Note 16. Transactions with Former Parent and Other Related Party Transactions

In connection with the initial public offering in November 2006 and the separation of our business from Halliburton, in April 2007, we entered into various agreements with Halliburton including, among others, a master separation agreement, tax sharing agreement, transition services agreements and an employee matters agreement. Pursuant to our master separation agreement, we agreed to indemnify Halliburton for, among other matters, all past, present and future liabilities related to our business and operations. We agreed to indemnify Halliburton for liabilities under various outstanding and certain additional credit support instruments relating to our businesses and for liabilities under litigation matters related to our business. Halliburton agreed to indemnify us for, among other things, liabilities unrelated to our business, for certain other agreed matters relating to the investigation of FCPA and related corruption allegations and the Barracuda-Caratinga project and for other litigation matters related to Halliburton’s business. Under the transition services agreements, Halliburton provided various interim corporate support services to us and we provided various interim corporate support services to Halliburton. The tax sharing agreement provides for certain allocations of U.S. income tax liabilities and other agreements between us and Halliburton with respect to tax matters.

Our balance payable to our former parent, Halliburton, at December 31, 2010 and 2009, of $43 million and $53 million, respectively, was comprised of amounts owed to Halliburton primarily for estimated outstanding income taxes under the tax sharing agreement. See Note 11 for further discussion of amounts outstanding under the tax sharing agreement.

We perform many of our projects through incorporated and unincorporated joint ventures. In addition to participating as a joint venture partner, we often provide engineering, procurement, construction, operations or maintenance services to the joint venture as a subcontractor. Where we provide services to a joint venture that we control and therefore consolidate for financial reporting purposes, we eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses on such transactions. In situations where we account for our interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting, we do not eliminate any portion of our revenues or expenses. We recognize the profit on our services provided to joint ventures that we consolidate and joint ventures that we record under the equity method of accounting primarily using the percentage-of-completion method.

Our total revenue and profit from services provided to our unconsolidated joint ventures recorded in our consolidated statements of income is presented in the table below:

Note 17. Retirement Plans

We have various plans that cover our employees. These plans include defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. Our plans plan assets and obligations related to other postretirement plans are immaterial.

Our defined contribution plans provide retirement benefits in return for services rendered. These plans provide an individual account for each participant and have terms that specify how contributions to the participant’s account are to be determined rather than the amount of pension benefits the participant is to receive. Contributions to these plans are based on pretax income and/or discretionary amounts determined on an annual basis. Our expense for the defined contribution plans totaled $64 million in 2010, $61 million in 2009, and $47 million in 2008.

Additionally, we participate in a Canadian multi-employer plan to which we contributed $12 million in 2010, $17 million in 2009, and $9 million in 2008;

Our defined benefit plans are funded pension plans, which define an amount of pension benefit to be provided, usually as a function of age, years of service, or compensation.

We account for our defined benefit pension plan in accordance with FASB ASC 715 – Compensation – Retirement Benefits, which requires an employer to:

recognize on its balance sheet the funded status (measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation) of pension plan;

recognize, through comprehensive income, certain changes in the funded status of a defined benefit plan in the year in which the changes occur;

measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year; and

disclose additional information.

The overall expected long-term rate of return on assets was determined by reviewing targeted asset allocations and historical index performance of the applicable asset classes on a long-term basis of at least 15 years. The discount rate was determined by reviewing yields on high-quality bonds that receive one of the two highest ratings given by a recognized rating agency and the expected duration of the obligations specific to the characteristics of the Company’s plans.

Plan fiduciaries of the Company’s retirement plans set investment policies and strategies and oversee its investment direction, which includes selecting investment managers, commissioning asset-liability studies and setting long-term strategic targets. Long-term strategic investment objectives include preserving the funded status of the plan and balancing risk and return and have a wide diversification of asset types, fund strategies and fund managers. Targeted asset allocation ranges are guidelines, not limitations, and occasionally plan fiduciaries will approve allocations above or below a target range.

The 2011 and 2010 targeted asset allocation ranges for the International plans, by asset class, are as follows:

International Plans – Asset Class  2011 Targeted   2010 Targeted 
   Percentage Range   Percentage Range 
   Minimum   Maximum   Minimum   Maximum

The targeted asset allocation ranges for the Domestic plans for both 2011 and 2010, by asset class, are as follows:

The inputs and methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a description of the primary valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:

Common Stocks and Corporate Bonds: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Corporate Bonds, Government Bonds and Mortgage Backed Securities: Valued at quoted prices in markets that are not active, broker dealer quotations, or other methods by which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.


Common Collective Trust Funds: Valued at the net asset value per unit held at year end as quoted by the funds.

Mutual Funds: Valued at the net asset value of shares held at year end as quoted in the active market.

Real Estate: Valued at net asset value per unit held at year end as quoted by the manager.

Annuities: Valued by computing the present value of the expected benefits based on the demographic information of the participants.

Other: Estimated income to be received on the Plan assets as computed by our trustee

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement as of the reporting date.

A summary of total investments for KBR’s pension plan assets measured at fair value at December 31, 2010 is presented below. See Note 14 for a detailed description of fair value measurements and the hierarchy established for Level 1, 2 and 3 valuation inputs.

Note 18.22. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009,


On January 24, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”("ASU") 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)No. 2014-05, Service Concession Arrangements. A service concession agreement is an arrangement between a public-sector entity (a governmental body or an entity to which the responsibility for the public service has been delegated) and an operating entity under which the operating entity operates the grantor's infrastructure (for example, airports, roads and bridges). The operating entity may also provide the construction, upgrading or maintenance services of the grantor's infrastructure. This ASU specifies that an operating entity should not account for a service concession arrangement within the scope of this ASU as a lease in accordance with ASC 840 - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. ASU 2009-13 addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangementsLeases. An operating entity should refer to enable vendorsother ASUs as applicable to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling pricevarious aspects of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidanceservice concession arrangement. The amendments also eliminatesspecify that the residual method of allocationinfrastructure used in a service concession agreement should not be recognized as property, plant and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inceptionequipment of the arrangement to all deliverablesoperating entity. The amendments in this ASU are effective using the relative selling price method. In addition, this guidance significantly expands required disclosures related to a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectivelymodified retrospective approach for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal yearsinterim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after JuneDecember 15, 2010.2014.

On July 18, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU requires some new disclosuresstates that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. The unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objectiveshould not be combined with deferred tax assets to the extent (a) a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increasenot available at the transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require:

A reporting entity should disclose separatelydate under the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and

In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.

In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirementstax law of the following existing disclosures:

For purposesapplicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of reporting fair value measurement for each classa tax position or (b) the tax law of assets and liabilities, a reportingthe applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity needs to use, judgmentand the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax assets for such purpose.

A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.

Thethis ASU isare effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted.2013.

The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 ofalso removes the goodwill impairment testrestriction on using different benchmark rates for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.similar hedges.

On March 4, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): DisclosureNo. 2013-05, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.  This ASU reflectsrequires that when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity, then the decision reachedparent is required to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. The cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in EITF Issue No. 10-G.the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. For an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, the partial sale guidance still applies. In the case of an equity method investment that is not a foreign entity, the cumulative translation adjustment is released into net income only if the partial sale represents a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity that contains the equity method investment. Additionally, the amendments

in this ASU clarify that the sale of an investment in a foreign entity includes both: (1) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity (i.e., irrespective of any retained investment); and (2) events that result in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date (sometimes also referred to as a step acquisition). Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon the occurrence of those events. The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805, Business Combinations, that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the firstinterim and annual reporting periodperiods beginning on or after December 15, 2010.

Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This ASU requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements as the sum of the amount the entity has both agreed and expects to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors. The entity is also required to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation. The amendments in this ASU are effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


On February 5, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU requires that companies present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in their annual financial statements in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. ASU 2013-02 requires that companies present the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety, companies would instead cross reference to the related footnote for additional information. This may be presented either in the notes or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements provided that all of the required information is presented in a single location. We adopted ASU 2013-02 and have included the required disclosure in Note 19.16.

Based on

In conducting our evaluation, we concluded there is a material weakness in the operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as described below.
As a result of the foregoing, we have concluded that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded thatas of December 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2010 to providein providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act isof 1934 was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controlsregulations, and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act iswas accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes


Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There hasall control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no changeassurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

In light of the material weakness identified above, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our internal control overconsolidated financial reporting that occurred duringstatements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and reflect its financial position and results of operations as of and for the three monthsyear ended December 31, 20102013. We identified that have materially affected, or are reasonably likelythe known financial error was attributable to materially affect,one major project that is near completion. As a result, notwithstanding the Company’s internal control overmaterial weakness as described above, management concluded that the consolidated financial reporting.

statements included in this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.


(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as(as defined in the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). InternalOur internal control over financial reporting no matter how wellis a process designed has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, becausegenerally accepted accounting principles. Because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness ofits inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

Undernot prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the supervision andrisk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the participation of our management,policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation to assessassessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based upon2013. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forthfor effective internal control over financial reporting described in the Internal Control–Integrated“Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on ourthis assessment, we have concludedmanagement has determined that asbecause of December 31, 2010,the material weaknesses described below, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2013.

A material weakness is effective. Oura deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Material weakness related to project reporting over the completeness and accuracy of estimates of revenues, costs and profit at completion for certain long-term construction projects with multiple currencies. We determined that a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed since controls were not properly designed to determine that actual and estimated foreign currency effects were included in our estimates of revenues, costs and profit at completion for long-term construction contracts that contain multiple currencies. Additionally, our control to monitor the inclusion of foreign currency effects in our estimates of revenues, costs and profit at completion was not properly designed.
 These deficiencies gave rise to a reasonable possibility of a material misstatement in the Company’s annual or interim financial statements not being prevented or detected on a timely basis. This material weakness resulted in misstatements in the accounting for the foreign currency effects on long-term construction contracts which were corrected prior to issuance of the Company’s December 31, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has issued audit reports on its reportassessment of internal control over financial reporting and our consolidated financial statements that are included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(c) Management’s Plans for Remediation of the Material Weakness

In response to the material weakness we have developed a preliminary plan with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors to remediate the material weakness. Currently, our plan to remediate the material weakness during fiscal 2014 includes:
Implement a control to include the actual and estimated foreign currency effects in the estimates of revenues, costs and profit at completion on projects with multiple currencies by enhancing the design of our project status templates and our procedures for completion of our project status templates.

Enhance the design of our monitoring controls over the completeness and accuracy of estimated revenues, costs and profit at completion for long-term construction projects with multiple currencies to specifically include a process for the person(s) responsible for the monitoring to perform inquiry or review of our controls over the review of the project status reports.

Provide training to our personnel involved in the estimation of estimates at completion of projects with multiple currencies.

We can give no assurance that the measures we take will remediate the material weakness that we identified or that any additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these and other processes, procedures and controls and will make any further changes management determines appropriate.
(d) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We are in the process of a phased implementation of a new company-wide enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system. During the third quarter of 2013, we substantially completed our first phased implementation of our new ERP system in Canada resulting in certain changes in our internal controls over financial reporting. Each completed phase of our ERP implementation becomes a significant component of our internal control over financial reporting. With the exception of this first phase of our ERP implementation and the material weakness described above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting as of during the three months ended December 31, 2010, which follows.

2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

KBR, Inc.:

We have audited KBR, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2013, based on criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).KBR, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanyingManagement’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Item 9A(b)). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, KBR, Inc. maintained,

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizationssuch that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Treadway Commission.

company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment (Item 9A(b)) related to project reporting over the completeness and accuracy of estimates of revenues, costs and profit at completion for certain long-term construction projects with multiple currencies.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of KBR, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20102013 and 2009,2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010,2013, and related consolidated financial statement schedule. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2013 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated February 23, 201127, 2014, which expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statementsstatements.
In our opinion, because of the effect of the aforementioned material weakness on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, KBR, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
