HALLIBURTON COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Management Representation
The Company employs accounting policies that are in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires Company management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Ultimate results could differ from those estimates.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
present information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and
applicable rules of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
information or footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
In the opinion of the Company, the financial statements include all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of
June 30, 1998, and the results of its operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and its cash flows for the six months then ended.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 may not be indicative of results for the full year. Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

============ ============== ============= =============
Comprehensive income as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," is net income plus direct
adjustments to shareholders' equity. The cumulative translation adjustment of
certain foreign entities is the only such direct adjustment recorded by the
Company.

============ ===============
About forty percent of all sales items (including related work in process
and raw materials) are valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. If the
average cost method had been in use for inventories on the LIFO basis, total
inventories would have been about $3.1 million and $3.4 million higher than
reported at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.

Note 4. General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $64.3 million and $57.9 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. General and
administrative expenses were $122.9 million and $108.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Note 5. Income Per Share
Basic income per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share includes
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common
shares with a dilutive effect had been issued. The following table reconciles
basic and diluted net income.

Options to purchase 1.1 million shares of common stock which were
outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 1998 were not included in the
computation of diluted net income per share because the option exercise price
was greater than the average market price of the common shares.
Note 6. Related Companies
The Company conducts some of its operations through various joint
ventures, which are in partnership, corporate and other business forms, which
are principally accounted for using the equity method. European Marine
Contractors, Limited (EMC), which is 50% owned by the Company and part of the
Energy Group, specializes in engineering, procurement and construction of marine
pipelines. Summarized operating results for 100% of the operations of EMC are as
follows:

ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are $61.2 million and $60.6 million, respectively.
In the second quarter of 1997, Halliburton Energy Services, which is part
of the Energy Group, acquired a 26% ownership interest in Petroleum Engineering
Services (PES) for approximately $33.6 million. The purchase price is included
in purchases of businesses in the condensed consolidated statements of cash
flows.

During March 1997, the Company incurred $56.3 million of term loans in
connection with the acquisition of the Royal Dockyard in Plymouth, England (the
Dockyard Loans). The Dockyard Loans are denominated in Sterling and bear
interest at approximately LIBOR plus 0.75% payable in semi-annual installments
through March 2004. Pursuant to certain terms of the Dockyard Loans, the Company
was required to provide initially a compensating balance of $28.7 million which
is restricted as to use by the Company. The compensating balance amount
decreases in proportion to the outstanding debt related to the Dockyard Loans
and earns interest at a rate equal to that of the Dockyard Loans. The
compensating balance of $16.6 million at June 30, 1998 is included in other
assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved as a potentially responsible party (PRP) in
remedial activities to clean up various "Superfund" sites under applicable
Federal law which imposes joint and several liability, if the harm is
indivisible, on certain persons without regard to fault, the legality of the
original disposal, or ownership of the site. Although it is very difficult to
quantify the potential impact of compliance with environmental protection laws,
management of the Company believes that any liability of the Company with
respect to all but one of such sites will not have a material adverse effect on
the results of operations of the Company. With respect to a site in Jasper
County, Missouri (Jasper County Superfund Site), sufficient information has not
been developed to permit management to make such a determination and management
believes the process of determining the nature and extent of remediation at this
site and the total costs thereof will be lengthy. Brown & Root, Inc. (Brown &
Root), a subsidiary of the Company, has been named as a PRP with respect to the
Jasper County Superfund Site by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
Jasper County Superfund Site includes areas of mining activity that occurred
from the 1800s through the mid 1950s in the southwestern portion of Missouri.
The site contains lead and zinc mine tailings produced from mining activity.
Brown & Root is one of nine participating PRPs which have agreed to perform a
Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS), which, due to various delays,
is not expected to be completed until sometime in 1999. Although the entire
Jasper County Superfund Site comprises 237 square miles as listed on the
National Priorities List, in the RI/FS scope of work, the EPA has only
identified seven areas, or subsites, within this area that need to be studied
and then possibly remediated by the PRPs. Additionally, the Administrative Order
on Consent for the RI/FS only requires Brown & Root to perform RI/FS work at one
of the subsites within the site, the Neck/Alba subsite, which only comprises
3.95 square miles. Brown & Root's share of the cost of such a study is not
expected to be material. In addition to the superfund issues, the State of
Missouri has indicated that it may pursue natural resource damage claims against
the PRPs. At the present time Brown & Root cannot determine the extent of its
liability, if any, for remediation costs or natural resource damages on any
reasonably practicable basis.
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various other legal
proceedings. Although the ultimate dispositions of such proceedings are not
presently determinable, in the opinion of the Company any liability that may
ensue will not be material in relation to the consolidated financial position
and results of operations of the Company.

Note 9. Acquisitions and Dispositions
During March 1997, the Devonport management consortium, Devonport
Management Limited (DML), which is 51% owned by the Company, completed the
acquisition of Devonport Royal Dockyard plc, which owns and operates the
Government of the United Kingdom's Royal Dockyard in Plymouth, England, for
approximately $64.9 million. Concurrent with the acquisition of the Royal
Dockyard, the Company's ownership interest in DML increased from about 30% to
51% and DML borrowed $56.3 million under term loans.
During April 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of the outstanding
common stock of OGC International plc (OGC) for approximately $118.3 million.
OGC is engaged in providing a variety of engineering, operations and maintenance
services, primarily to the North Sea oil and gas production industry.
During July 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock
and convertible debentures of Kinhill Holdings Limited (Kinhill) for
approximately $34 million. Kinhill, headquartered in Australia, provides
engineering for mining and minerals processing, petroleum and chemicals, water
and wastewater, transportation and commercial and civil infrastructure. Kinhill
markets its services primarily in Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore,
India, and the Philippines.
In 1997, the Company recorded approximately $99.1 million excess of cost
over net assets acquired primarily related to the purchase acquisitions of OGC
and Kinhill.
On September 30, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of NUMAR
Corporation (NUMAR) through the merger of a subsidiary of the Company with and
into NUMAR, the conversion of the outstanding NUMAR common stock into an
aggregate of approximately 8.2 million shares of common stock of the Company and
the assumption by the Company of the outstanding NUMAR stock options (for the
exercise of which the Company has reserved an aggregate of approximately 0.9
million shares of common stock of the Company). The merger qualified as a
tax-free exchange and was accounted for using the pooling of interests method of
accounting for business combinations. The Company has not restated its financial
statements to include NUMAR's historical operating results because they are not
material to the Company. NUMAR's assets and liabilities on September 30, 1997
were included in the Company's accounts of the same date, resulting in an
increase in net assets of $21.3 million. Headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania,
NUMAR designs, manufacturers and markets the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Logging
(MRIL(R)) tool which utilizes magnetic resonance imaging technology to evaluate
subsurface rock formations in newly drilled oil and gas wells.
In December 1997, the Company sold its environmental services business to
Tetra Tech, Inc. for approximately $32 million. The sale was prompted by the
Company's desire to divest non-core businesses and had no significant effect on
net income in 1997.
Note 10. Halliburton / Dresser Merger
On February 26, 1998 the Company and Dresser Industries, Inc. (Dresser)
announced that a definitive merger agreement was approved by the board of
directors of both companies and executed on February 25, 1998. Approximately 175
million newly issued shares of Company common stock will be issued to Dresser
shareholders at a one-for-one exchange ratio. The transaction will be accounted
for by the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations
and is expected to be tax-free to Dresser's shareholders. Dresser is a
diversified company with operations in three industry segments: engineering
services; petroleum products and services; and energy equipment. The transaction
is subject to regulatory approvals in the United States and several other
countries and customary closing conditions. On April 20, 1998, the Company and
Dresser announced that the companies had received requests for additional
information concerning the proposed merger from the Antitrust Division of the
U.S. Department of Justice. The requests were not unexpected and both the
Company and Dresser are responding to the Department of Justice. The Company has
offered the Department of Justice its written commitment to divest its 36%
interest in M-I L.L.C. On June 25, 1998, shareholders of the Company voted their
approval for (1) an amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized common shares from 400
million to 600 million and (2) the issuance of Company common stock pursuant to
the merger agreement between the Company and Dresser. Also, at a separate
meeting on June 25, 1998, shareholders of Dresser approved the merger agreement
between Halliburton and Dresser. On July 6, 1998, the Company and Dresser
received the European Commission's decision that the Commission will not oppose
the merger of the two companies. On July 9, 1998, the Company announced receipt
of an Advance Ruling Certificate from the Canadian Bureau of Competition Policy
clearing the merger of the two companies. The companies continue to expect to
complete the merger during the fall of 1998.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The Company operates in over 100 countries around the world to provide a
variety of energy services and engineering and construction services to energy,
industrial and governmental customers. The industries served by the Company are
highly competitive with many substantial competitors. Operations in some
countries may be affected by unsettled political conditions, expropriation or
other governmental actions, exchange controls and currency devaluations. The
Company believes the geographic diversification of its business activities
reduces the risk that loss of its operations in any one country would be
material to its consolidated results of operations.
About 79% of the Company's revenues in 1997 were derived from the sale of
services and products, including construction activities, to the energy
industry. The decline in oil prices in the first half of 1998 has translated
into a decrease in the worldwide average rotary rig count and some hesitation on
the part of customers of the Company to commit to longer-term projects. In
response to potentially weakening markets in some areas of the world, the
Company is implementing plans to reduce the number of employees in those
geographic areas where activity levels are lower than expected, to scale back
discretionary spending on capital expenditures and to curtail discretionary
travel and other expenses.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Second Quarter of 1998 Compared with the Second Quarter of 1997
Revenues
Consolidated revenues increased 11% to $2,475.6 million in the second
quarter of 1998 compared with $2,231.1 million in the same quarter of the prior
year. Approximately 61% of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from
international activities in the second quarter of 1998 compared to 59% in the
second quarter of 1997. Consolidated international revenues increased 16% in the
second quarter of 1998 over the second quarter of 1997. Consolidated United
States revenues increased by 3% in the second quarter of 1998 compared to the
second quarter of 1997.
Energy Group revenues increased by 17% for the second quarter of 1998 over
the same quarter of the prior year notwithstanding an 8% decrease in drilling
activity as measured by the worldwide rotary rig count. International revenues
increased by 22% and United States revenues increased 6% in the second quarter
of 1998 while the United States rig count decreased 7% for the second quarter of
1998 as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Most of the increased
revenues were from pressure pumping activities, notably in Europe/Africa, and
upstream oil and gas engineering services.
Engineering and Construction Group revenues were $768.6 million in the
second quarter of 1998 compared to $774.7 million in the same quarter of the
prior year. The slight decrease in revenues was due to the sale of the
environmental services business in December 1997, lower activity in the pulp and
paper industry, and lower activity levels in the Group's contract to provide
technical and logistical support for military peacekeeping operations in Bosnia.
These decreases were almost entirely offset by increased revenues recognized for
engineering and construction services for refining and civil contracts in the
United States and Latin America and increased revenues in Asia/Pacific from
Kinhill, which was acquired in the third quarter of 1997.
Operating Income
Consolidated operating income increased 31% to $238.4 million in the
second quarter of 1998 compared with $182.0 million in the same quarter of the
prior year. Approximately 54% of the Company's consolidated operating income was
derived from international activities in both the second quarter of 1998 and
1997.
Energy Group operating income increased 24% to $198.3 million in the
second quarter of 1998 compared with $160.1 million in the same quarter of the
prior year. The operating margin for the second quarter of 1998 was 11.6%
compared to the prior year second quarter operating margin of 11.0%. Improved
operating income was largely due to pressure pumping in the North America,
Europe/Africa and Asia/Pacific regions, improved margins on sales of completion
products in the Europe/Africa, Latin America and Asia/Pacific regions, and
upstream oil and gas engineering services in Europe and North America.
Engineering and Construction Group operating income increased 66% to $49.9
million in the second quarter of 1998 compared to $30.0 million in the second
quarter of the prior year. Operating margins were 6.5% in the second quarter of
9
1998 compared to 3.9% in the prior year second quarter. Second quarter operating
income benefited from a claim on a Middle Eastern construction project.
Excluding this settlement, operating margins for the second quarter of 1998 for
the Group were about 4.5%. Included in second quarter operating income are
improved results from construction and engineering services for the chemicals
and refining lines of business.
Nonoperating Items
Interest expense increased to $12.7 million in the second quarter of 1998
compared to $9.7 million in the same quarter of the prior year due primarily to
the Company's issuance of debt under the Company's medium-term note program in
1997 for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions.
Interest income in the second quarter of 1998 increased to $3.5 million
from $2.1 million in the second quarter of 1997 primarily due to higher levels
of invested cash.
Foreign currency losses were $0.1 million for the second quarter of 1998
as compared to $0.4 million for the same quarter in 1997.
The effective income tax rate decreased to 38.6% for the second quarter of
1998 from 39.4% for the second quarter of 1997 and is expected to remain between
38% and 39% for the year of 1998.
Minority interest in net income of subsidiaries for the second quarter of
1998 increased to $3.9 million compared to $3.5 million for the second quarter
of 1997.
Net Income
Net income in the second quarter of 1998 increased 34% to $136.5 million,
or $0.51 per diluted share, compared with $101.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted
share, in the same quarter of the prior year.
First Six Months of 1998 Compared with the First Six Months of 1997
Revenues
Consolidated revenues increased 17% to $4,830.9 million in the first six
months of 1998 compared with $4,128.6 million in the same period of the prior
year. Approximately 61% of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from
international activities in the first six months of 1998 compared to 57% in the
same period of 1997. Consolidated international revenues increased 25% in the
first six months of 1998 over the same period of 1997. Consolidated United
States revenues increased by 6% in the first six months of 1998 compared to the
same period of 1997.
Energy Group revenues increased 28% for the first six months of 1998 over
the same period of the prior year compared with a 1% increase in drilling
activity as measured by the worldwide rotary rig count. International revenues
increased by 36% and United States revenues increased 13% in the first six
months of 1998 while the international rig count decreased 1% and the United
States rig count increased 3% as compared to the same period of the prior year.
A large part of the increase in revenues were from upstream oil and gas
engineering services.
Engineering and Construction Group revenues decreased 1% to $1,534.7
million in the first six months of 1998 compared with $1,551.9 million in the
same six month period of the prior year. Lower revenues were due to the sale of
the environmental services business in December 1997, lower activity in the pulp
and paper industry and lower activity levels in the Group's contract to provide
technical and logistical support for military peacekeeping operations in Bosnia.
These decreases were partially offset by improved revenues recognized for
engineering and construction services for refining and civil contracts in the
United States and Latin America and increased revenues in Asia/Pacific from
Kinhill, which was acquired in the third quarter of 1997.
Operating Income
Consolidated operating income increased 38% to $442.4 million in the first
six months of 1998 compared with $320.7 million in the same period of the prior
year. Approximately 54% of the Company's consolidated operating income was
derived from international activities in the first six months of 1998 compared
to 58% in the same period of 1997.
Energy Group operating income increased 38% to $383.3 million in the first
six months of 1998 compared with $277.3 million in the same period of the prior
year. The operating margin for the first six months of 1998 was 11.6% compared
to the prior year operating margin for the same period of 10.8%. The improvement
in operating income was due largely to pressure pumping in the North America,
Europe/Africa and Asia/Pacific regions, improved margins on sales of completion
10
products in the North America and Latin America regions, and upstream oil and
gas engineering services in Europe and North America.
Engineering and Construction Group operating income for the first six
months of 1998 increased 32% to $78.7 million compared to 1997 operating income
of $59.4 million for the same period. Operating margins improved to 5.1% for the
first six months of 1998 from 3.8% for the same period in 1997. Operating income
includes settlement of a claim on a Middle Eastern construction project.
Excluding this settlement, operating margins for the first six months of 1998
for the Group were about 4.2%. Operating income for the first six months of 1998
include improved results from construction and engineering services for the
chemicals and refining lines of business.
Nonoperating Items
Interest expense increased to $24.0 million in the first six months of
1998 compared to $15.8 million in the same period of the prior year due
primarily to the Company's issuance of debt under the Company's medium-term note
program in 1997 for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions.
Interest income in the first six months of 1998 increased to $6.9 million
from $6.5 million in the same period of 1997 primarily due to higher levels of
invested cash.
Foreign currency gains were $2.3 million for the first six months of 1998
as compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 1997.
The effective income tax rate was 38.7% for the first six months of 1998
and 38.8% for the same period of 1997. The effective income tax rate is expected
to remain between 38% and 39% for the year of 1998.
Minority interest in net income of subsidiaries was $7.5 million for the
first six months of 1998 compared to $6.4 million for the same period in the
prior year.
Net Income
Net income in the first six months of 1998 increased 38% to $254.3
million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared with $184.9 million, or $0.72 per
diluted share, in the same period of the prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company ended the second quarter of 1998 with cash and equivalents of
$145.4 million, a decrease of $75.9 million from the end of 1997.
Operating Activities
Cash flows used for operating activities were $22.2 million in the first
six months of 1998, as compared to cash flows used for operating activities of
$23.8 million in the first six months of 1997. The major operating activity use
of cash in 1998 was to fund working capital requirements related to increased
revenues from the Energy Group and for Engineering and Construction Group
projects. Operating cash was also used in funding cash needs of unconsolidated
subsidiaries.
Investing Activities
Capital expenditures were $326.1 million for the first six months of 1998,
an increase of 26% over the same period of the prior year. The increase in
capital spending primarily reflects investments in equipment and infrastructure
for the Energy Group which includes strategic investments in oil and gas
developments. The Company also continued its planned investments in its
enterprise-wide information system.
During March 1997, DML, which is 51% owned by the Company, completed the
acquisition of Devonport Royal Dockyard plc, which owns and operates the
Government of the United Kingdom's Royal Dockyard in Plymouth, England, for
approximately $64.9 million. Concurrent with the acquisition of the Royal
Dockyard, the Company's ownership interest in DML increased from about 30% to
51% and DML borrowed $56.3 million under term loans (the Dockyard Loans) bearing
interest at approximately LIBOR plus 0.75% payable in semi-annual installments
through March 2004. Pursuant to certain terms of the Dockyard Loans, the Company
was required to provide initially a compensating balance of $28.7 million which
is restricted as to use by the Company. The compensating balance amount
decreases in proportion to the outstanding debt related to the Dockyard Loans
and earns interest at a rate equal to that of the Dockyard Loans.
11
During April 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of the
outstanding common stock of OGC International plc (OGC) for approximately $118.3
million. OGC is engaged in providing a variety of engineering, operations and
maintenance services, primarily to the North Sea oil and gas production
industry.
Also in April 1997, the Company purchased a 26% ownership interest in
Petroleum Engineering Services (PES) for approximately $33.6 million. PES
provides specialist well completions and interventions, completion services and
completion solutions.
Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities were $246.5 million in the first six
months of 1998 compared to cash flows of $254.3 million in the first six months
of 1997. The Company borrowed $316.4 million in short-term funds consisting of
commercial paper and bank loans in the first six months of 1998. Proceeds from
exercises of stock options provided cash flows of $15.1 million in the first six
months of 1998 compared to $38.8 million in the same period of the prior year.
In the first six months of 1997, the Company borrowed $100.8 million in
short-term funds net of repayments consisting of commercial paper and bank
loans. Also in the first six months of 1997, the Company issued $125.0 million
principal amount of 6.75% notes and $50.0 million principal amount of 7.53%
notes under the Company's medium-term note program.
The Company believes it has sufficient borrowing capacity to fund its
working capital requirements and investing activities. The Company's debt was
23% of total capitalization at June 30, 1998 compared to 18% at December 31,
1997. At June 30, 1998, the Company had committed short-term lines of credit
totaling $350.0 million available and unused, and other short-term lines of
credit totaling $315.0 million with several U.S. banks. Short-term borrowings of
$182.0 million were outstanding under these facilities at June 30, 1998.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT MARKET RISK
The Company is currently exposed to market risk from changes in foreign
currency exchange rates, and to a lesser extent, to changes in interest rates.
To mitigate market risk, the Company selectively hedges its foreign currency
exposure through the use of currency derivative instruments. The objective of
such hedging is to protect the Company's dollar cash flows from fluctuations in
currency rates of foreign denominated sales or purchases of goods or services.
Inherent in the use of derivative instruments are certain types of market risk:
volatility of the currency rates, tenor (time horizon) of the derivative
instruments, market cycles and the type of derivative instruments used. The
Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
There have been no material changes at June 30, 1998 to the amounts reported at
December 31, 1997 to the Company's calculated value at risk from foreign
exchange derivative instruments. The Company's interest rate exposures at June
30, 1998 were not materially changed from December 31, 1997.
HALLIBURTON / DRESSER MERGER
On February 26, 1998 the Company and Dresser Industries, Inc. (Dresser)
announced that a definitive merger agreement was approved by the board of
directors of both companies and executed on February 25, 1998. Approximately 175
million newly issued shares of Company common stock will be issued to Dresser
shareholders at a one-for-one exchange ratio. The transaction will be accounted
for by the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations
and is expected to be tax-free to Dresser's shareholders. Dresser is a
diversified company with operations in three industry segments: engineering
services; petroleum products and services; and energy equipment. The transaction
is subject to regulatory approvals in the United States and several other
countries and customary closing conditions. On April 20, 1998, the Company and
Dresser announced that the companies had received requests for additional
information concerning the proposed merger from the Antitrust Division of the
U.S. Department of Justice. The requests were not unexpected and both the
Company and Dresser are responding to the Department of Justice. The Company has
offered the Department of Justice its written commitment to divest its 36%
interest in M-I L.L.C. On June 25, 1998, shareholders of the Company voted their
approval for (1) an amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized common shares from 400
million to 600 million and (2) the issuance of Company common stock pursuant to
the merger agreement between the Company and Dresser. Also, at a separate
12
meeting on June 25, 1998, shareholders of Dresser approved the merger agreement
between Halliburton and Dresser. On July 6, 1998, the Company and Dresser
received the European Commission's decision that the Commission will not oppose
the merger of the two companies. On July 9, 1998, the Company announced receipt
of an Advance Ruling Certificate from the Canadian Bureau of Competition Policy
clearing the merger of the two companies. The companies continue to expect to
complete the merger during the fall of 1998.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is involved as a potentially responsible party in remedial
activities to clean up various "Superfund" sites under applicable federal law
which imposes joint and several liability, if the harm is indivisible, on
certain persons without regard to fault, the legality of the original disposal,
or ownership of the site. Although it is very difficult to quantify the
potential impact of compliance with environmental protection laws, management of
the Company believes that any liability of the Company with respect to all but
one of such sites will not have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations of the Company. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements for additional information on the one site.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 (Y2K) issue is the risk that systems, products and
equipment utilizing date-sensitive software or computer chips with two-digit
date fields will fail to properly recognize the Year 2000. Such failures by the
Company's software and hardware or that of government entities, service
providers, suppliers and customers could result in interruptions of the
Company's business which could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
In response to the Y2K issue, the Company has implemented an
enterprise-wide Year 2000 Program designed to identify, assess and address
significant Y2K issues in the Company's key business operations, including
products and services, suppliers, business and engineering applications,
information technology systems, facilities and infrastructure and joint venture
projects.
The Year 2000 Program is a comprehensive, integrated, multi-phase process
covering information technology systems and hardware as well as equipment and
products with embedded computer chips technology. The primary phases of the
program are: (1) inventorying existing equipment and systems; (2) analyzing
equipment and systems to identify those which are not Y2K ready and to
prioritize critical items; (3) remediating, repairing or replacing non-Y2K ready
equipment and systems; and (4) testing to verify Y2K readiness has been
achieved. The Company anticipates having the Company's products and
mission-critical systems and equipment Y2K ready during the first half of 1999
with the balance of the year reserved for testing and implementation of new and
modified programs as required.
At the end of the second quarter of 1998, the inventory of equipment and
systems was substantially complete. The analysis phase is underway.
Remediation/installation for the majority of these systems will be performed
internally. The Company is utilizing outside contractors for remediation of
major legacy accounting and administrative systems. Some information technology
systems and Company manufactured products and developed software have been
remediated and have entered the testing phase.
The Company is in contact with its major suppliers and service providers
to establish a mutual understanding of Y2K issues and to develop solutions with
those suppliers. These suppliers are being surveyed as to their ability to
provide products that are Y2K ready and to provide uninterrupted services.
Critical suppliers are being further evaluated to review their Y2K programs. No
suppliers have been identified who expect interruption of services or supplies
to the Company.
Independent of, but concurrent with, the Company's Y2K review, the
Company is installing an enterprise-wide business information system. This
information system is scheduled to replace approximately one-half of the
Company's key finance, administrative and marketing software systems by the end
of 1999 and is Y2K ready. In addition, the Company is in the process of
replacing its desktop computing equipment and software and updating its
communications infrastructure. The Company has determined that although some of
the replaced desktop computing equipment and software may not be strictly Y2K
compliant, such replacements are nevertheless suitable for the usage intended by
the Company.
Based on the Company's review to date, it does not expect the cost of
software replacement or modification not currently included in the Company's
enterprise-wide information system to be material to its financial position or
results of operations.
13
The Company entered into a merger agreement with Dresser on February 25,
1998. Within the guidelines of the U.S. Department of Justice regulations on
pre-merger activities, the Company is evaluating Dresser's Y2K program in order
to bring the two companies into a common Y2K program after the merger.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." This standard defines reporting
requirements for operating segments and related information about products and
services, geographic areas and reliance on major customers. The Company is
evaluating the impact of this statement on its current reporting and expects to
adopt the new standard for its year ending December 31, 1998, with interim
reporting beginning in 1999.
In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." This standard revises
existing requirements for employers' disclosures for pensions and other
postretirement benefit plans. The standard does not change measurement or
recognition standards for these plans. The Company plans to present the revised
disclosure requirements in its 1998 Annual Report.
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" (SOP 98-1). SOP 98-1 provides
guidelines for companies to capitalize or expense costs incurred to develop or
obtain internal use software. The guidelines set forth in SOP 98-1 do not differ
significantly from the Company's current accounting policy for internal use
software and therefore the Company does not expect a material impact on its
results of operations or financial position from the adoption of SOP 98-1. The
Company plans to adopt SOP 98-1 effective January 1, 1999.
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities" (SOP 98-5). SOP 98-5 requires costs of start-up activities and
organization costs to be expensed as incurred. The Company is evaluating when it
will adopt SOP 98-5 and is currently analyzing the impact on its results of
operations from the adoption of SOP 98-5.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and for Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). This standard requires
entities to recognize all derivatives on the statement of financial position as
assets or liabilities and to measure the instruments at fair value. Accounting
for gains and losses from changes in those fair values are specified in the
standard depending on the intended use of the derivative and other criteria.
SFAS 133 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2000. The Company is
currently evaluating SFAS 133 to identify implementation and compliance methods
and has not yet determined the effect, if any, on its results of operations or
financial position.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
In accordance with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions that the statements in this
quarterly report and elsewhere, which are forward-looking and which provide
other than historical information, involve risks and uncertainties that may
impact the Company's actual results of operations. While such forward-looking
information reflects the Company's best judgment based on current information,
it involves a number of risks and uncertainties and there can be no assurance
that other factors will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking
information. While it is not possible to identify all factors, the Company
continues to face many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ from those forward-looking statements. Such factors include: unsettled
political conditions, war, civil unrest, currency controls and governmental
actions in over 100 countries of operation; trade restrictions and economic
embargoes imposed by the United States and other countries; environmental laws,
including those that require emission performance standards for new and existing
facilities; the magnitude of governmental spending for military and logistical
support of the type provided by the Company; operations in countries with
significant amounts of political risk, including, without limitation, Algeria
and Nigeria; technological and structural changes in the industries served by
the Company; computer software and hardware and other equipment utilizing
computer technology used by governmental entities, service providers, vendors,
customers and the Company which may be impacted by the Y2K issue; completion of
14
the announced merger with Dresser; integration of acquired businesses into the
Company; changes in the price of oil and natural gas; changes in the price of
commodity chemicals used by the Company; changes in capital spending by
customers in the hydrocarbon industry for exploration, development, production,
processing, refining and pipeline delivery networks; increased competition in
the hiring and retention of employees; changes in capital spending by customers
in the wood pulp and paper industries for plants and equipment; risks from
entering into fixed fee engineering, procurement and construction projects where
failure to meet schedule, cost estimates or performance targets could result in
non-reimbursable costs which cause the project not to meet expected profit
margins; and changes in capital spending by governments for infrastructure. In
addition, future trends for pricing, margins, revenues and profitability remain
difficult to predict in the industries served by the Company.
