              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 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
      In the  opinion of the  Company,  the  financial  statements  include  all
adjustments  necessary to present fairly the Company's  financial position as of
June 30, 1996,  and the results of its  operations  for the three and six months
ended June 30,  1996 and 1995 and its cash flows for the six months  then ended.
The results of  operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995 may not be indicative of results for the full year. In connection  with the
discontinuance  of the Company's  insurance  segment,  the Company has adopted a
classified   balance  sheet  format.   Certain  prior  year  amounts  have  been
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

</TABLE>

      About one-third 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 $20.9 million and $18.3  million  higher than
reported at June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, respectively.

Note 3. General and Administrative Expenses
      General and  administrative  expenses were $38.9 million and $41.8 million
for the three  months  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  General and
administrative  expenses were $74.5 million and $78.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Note 4. Income Per Share
      Income per share  amounts are based upon the average  number of common and
common share equivalents  outstanding.  Common share equivalents included in the
computation  represent  shares  issuable upon assumed  exercise of stock options
which have a dilutive effect.

      Included in the  Company's  revenues  for the three  months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995 are equity in income of related  companies  of $19.5  million  and
$26.6 million, respectively. The amounts included in revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are $40.6 million and $40.4 million, respectively.
      In the second  quarter of 1996,  M-I  Drilling  Fluids,  Inc.,  one of the
Company's  joint  ventures  which is 36% owned  and a part of  Energy  Services,
purchased Anchor Drilling Fluids.  The Company's share of the purchase price was
$41.3 million and is included in cash flows from other investing activities.

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

Note 7.  Acquisitions
     On June 30, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive agreement providing
for the acquisition of Landmark Graphics Corporation (Landmark). Landmark is the
leading supplier of integrated  exploration and production  information  systems
and professional services for the petroleum industry.  Headquartered in Houston,
Texas,  Landmark customers include 90 percent of the world's largest oil and gas

     Under terms of the  agreement,  the Company  will issue 0.574 of a share of
its common  stock for each  outstanding  share of  Landmark  common  stock.  The
acquisition will result in the issuance of approximately  10.0 million shares of
the Company  common stock.  Approximately  124.8 million shares of the Company's
common stock will be outstanding after such issuance.
     The proposed  merger has received  unanimous  approval from the  respective
boards  of  directors  of  each  company,  but is  subject  to the  approval  of
Landmark's   stockholders  and   Hart-Scott-Rodino   antitrust  clearance.   For
accounting purposes the merger will be structured as a pooling of interests and,
for  federal   income  tax  purposes,   as  a  tax-free   exchange  to  Landmark
shareholders.  The companies anticipate completion of the acquisition during the
fall of 1996.
     At the same time, the Company and Landmark announced that they are pursuing
the  formation of an alliance  with  Electronic  Data Systems (EDS) to develop a
worldwide distributed data management capability that integrates all information
associated  with the oil field  lifecycle.  This  alliance  will be  designed to
combine the leadership of the Company in oil field energy services,  Landmark in
geoscience  and  engineering  software  systems and services,  and EDS in global
information services.
     The  intent of the  alliance  will be to create an  information  management
environment  that  will  automate  and  integrate   petroleum   exploration  and
production  from  energy  company  offices  throughout  their oil  fields.  This
scaleable  environment  will  have  the  potential  to  encompass  applications,
workflows,  processes  and data from the  Company,  Landmark and EDS. It will be
based on industry standards and open to any software  supplier,  service company
or energy company for widespread adoption.
     The  following   supplemental   unaudited  pro  forma  combined   financial
information,  is based on adjustments to the historical  consolidated statements
of income of the  Company and  Landmark  to give effect to the merger  using the
pooling  of  interests  method of  accounting  for  business  combinations.  The
following  information may not necessarily  reflect the results of operations of
the Company that would have actually  resulted had the merger occurred as of the
date and for the  periods  indicated  or  reflect  the  future  earnings  of the
Company.

Note 8.  Discontinued Operations
     On January 23,  1996,  the  Company  spun-off  its  property  and  casualty
insurance  subsidiary,  Highlands  Insurance Group,  Inc. (HIGI),  in a tax-free
distribution  to  holders of  Halliburton  Company  common  stock.  Each  common
shareholder of the Company  received one share of common stock of HIGI for every
ten shares of  Halliburton  Company  common  stock.  Approximately  11.4 million
common shares of HIGI were issued in conjunction with the spin-off.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK

      In accordance  with the safe harbor  provisions of the Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform Act of 1995,  the Company  notes that the  statements in this
10-Q and  elsewhere,  which are  forward  looking and which  provide  other than
historical  information,  involve  risks and  uncertainties  that may impact the
Company's  actual  results  of  operations.   Future  trends  for  revenues  and
profitability  remain  difficult  to  predict  in the  industries  served by the
Company.  The Company continues to face many risks and uncertainties  including:
unsettled  political  conditions,  war,  civil  unrest,  currency  controls  and
governmental  actions in  countries of  operation;  new trade  restrictions  and
economic embargoes;  environmental  laws,  including those that require emission
performance standards for new and existing facilities; governmental spending for
military  and  logistical   support;   operations  in  higher  risk   countries;
technological  and structural  changes in the industries  served by the Company;
changes in the price of oil and  natural  gas;  changes in capital  spending  by
customers in the hydrocarbon industry for exploration,  development, production,
processing, refining and pipeline delivery networks; changes in capital spending
by customers in the wood pulp and paper industries for plants and equipment; and
changes in world economic  conditions related to capital spending by governments
for infrastructure.
      The Company  operates in over 100 countries  around the world to provide a
variety of energy services and engineering and construction services. Operations
in  some   countries  may  be  affected  by  unsettled   political   conditions,
expropriation  or other  governmental  actions and exchange control and currency
problems.  Recently  enacted United States law provides for sanctions on foreign
companies and, in some cases, their affiliates which make certain investments in
petroleum  resources in Iran or Libya or sell to such countries certain products
or  technology  which  enhance the ability of those  countries to develop  their
petroleum resources.  This new law may adversely impact the Company's ability to
provide services and/or products to some of its foreign customers, including the
cessation  of  operations  and trading by certain  foreign  subsidiaries  of the
Company with customers in such countries. Although at the present time it is not
possible to determine the exact nature of the impact of such law on the Company,
it is possible that the Company's  ability to realize the value of equipment and
other assets,  including accounts receivable,  associated with such business may
become  impaired  and that such  impairment  may be  material  to the results of
operations of the Company for some future period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter of 1996 Compared with the Second Quarter of 1995
Revenues
      Consolidated  revenues  increased  27% to  $1,776.8  million in the second
quarter of 1996 compared with $1,397.6  million in the same quarter of the prior
year. Approximately 56% of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from
international  activities  in the second  quarter of 1996 compared to 52% in the
second quarter of 1995. Consolidated international revenues increased 35% in the
second  quarter of 1996 over the second  quarter  of 1995.  Consolidated  United
States  revenues  increased by 19% in the second quarter of 1996 compared to the
second quarter of 1995.
      Energy Services revenues  increased by 15% compared with an 8% increase in
drilling  activity as measured by the worldwide  rotary rig count for the second
quarter of 1996 over the same quarter of the prior year.  International revenues
increased  by 12%,  reflecting  growth in all product  and service  lines in the
Europe/Africa  markets.  United States  revenues  increased 18% while the United
States rig count increased 12% over the same quarter of the prior year.
      Engineering and Construction  Services revenues  increased 37% to $1,055.3
million  compared with $768.0  million in the same quarter of the prior year due
primarily to higher activity levels in the pulp and paper,  energy and chemicals
industries  as well as a service  contract  with the US Department of Defense to
provide technical and logistical support for military peacekeeping operations in
Bosnia.

Operating income
      Consolidated  operating  income  increased  13% to $110.1  million  in the
second  quarter of 1996  compared  with $97.0 million in the same quarter of the
prior year. Approximately 86% of the Company's consolidated operating income was
derived from international  activities in the second quarter of 1996 compared to
72% in the second quarter of 1995.

                                       8
<PAGE>

      Energy  Services  operating  income  increased 30% to $92.1 million in the
second  quarter of 1996  compared  with $71.0 million in the same quarter of the
prior  year.  The  operating  margin  for the  second  quarter of 1996 was 12.8%
compared to the prior year operating  margin of 11.3%. The increase in operating
income in 1996 is primarily  related to higher activity levels in North America,
from  deepwater  drilling  in the Gulf of Mexico  and  Europe/Africa,  primarily
related to the North Sea, Nigeria, and the Congo basin.
      Engineering and  Construction  Services  operating income decreased 21% to
$26.4 million compared to $33.3 million in the second quarter of the prior year.
Operating  margins were 2.5% in the second  quarter of 1996  compared to 4.3% in
the prior year second  quarter.  Results for the quarter  include  $31.8 million
income  relating to gain sharing revenue on the Brown & Root portion of the cost
savings realized on the BP Andrew alliance.  The alliance  completed the project
seven  months  ahead of the  scheduled  production  of oil and  achieved  a $125
million  savings  compared  with the targeted  cost.  This was offset by a $14.2
million reduction in income due to lower activity levels and revenues  generated
by EMC, its  50%-owned  pipeline  construction  affiliate,  and a $16.3  million
charge  relating  to the  impairment  of Brown &  Root's  equity  in the  Dulles
Greenway toll road extension project.
      During the second quarter Brown & Root determined that the Dulles Greenway
toll road extension  project which began  operation in September 1995 will never
achieve  financial  viability  for Brown & Root and its equity  partners  in the
venture.  This was based upon a new study of traffic projections which concluded
that traffic revenue will continue to fall short of original expectations.  As a
result,  the partners have ceased  funding the cash  shortfall and  consequently
could lose their entire investment.  This resulted in a $16.3 million impairment
loss in the second quarter of 1996.

 Nonoperating items
      Interest  expense  decreased to $5.8 million in the second quarter of 1996
compared to $12.3 million in the same quarter of the prior year due primarily to
the  redemption  of the  zero  coupon  convertible  subordinated  debentures  in
September  1995,  and the  redemption of the $42.0 million term loan in December
1995.
      Interest  income  decreased  in 1996  primarily  due to  lower  levels  of
invested cash due mainly to the redemption of long-term debt.
      Foreign  currency  losses were $3.0 million for the second quarter of 1996
as compared to $1.6  million  for the same  quarter in 1995.  The losses in 1996
were primarily attributable to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.

Net income
      Net  income  from  continuing  operations  in the  second  quarter of 1996
increased  22% to $67.1  million,  or 58 cents per  share,  compared  with $54.8
million, or 48 cents per share, in the same quarter of the prior year.

First Six Months of 1996 Compared with the First Six Months of 1995
Revenues
      Consolidated  revenues  increased 29% to $3,438.2 million in the first six
months of 1996 compared  with  $2,671.5  million in the same period of the prior
year. Approximately 54% of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from
international  activities in the first six months of 1996 compared to 52% in the
same period of 1995.  Consolidated  international  revenues increased 34% in the
first  six  months of 1996 over the same  period  of 1995.  Consolidated  United
States revenues increased by 23% in the first six months of 1996 compared to the
same period of 1995.
      Energy Services  revenues  increased by 16% compared with a 5% increase in
drilling  activity as measured by the  worldwide  rotary rig count for the first
six  months  of 1996  over the same  period  of the  prior  year.  International
revenues  increased by 14%,  reflecting  growth in the  Europe/Africa  and Latin
America  markets.  United States revenues  increased 18% while the United States
rig count increased 6% over the same period of the prior year.
      Engineering and Construction  Services revenues  increased 39% to $2,053.4
million compared with $1,472.9 million in the same six month period of the prior
year due primarily to higher activity  levels in the pulp and paper,  energy and
chemicals  industries  as well as a service  contract  with the US Department of
Defense to provide  technical and logistical  support for military  peacekeeping
operations in Bosnia.

                                       9

Operating income
      Consolidated operating income increased 20% to $190.9 million in the first
six months of 1996 compared with $158.7  million in the same period of the prior
year.  Approximately  73% of the  Company's  consolidated  operating  income was
derived from  international  activities in the first six months of 1996 compared
to 65% in the same period of 1995.
      Energy Services  operating  income  increased 29% to $159.4 million in the
first six months of 1996 compared with $123.3  million in the same period of the
prior  year.  The  operating  margin  for the first six months of 1996 was 11.5%
compared to the prior year operating  margin of 10.3%. The increase in operating
income in 1996 is primarily  related to higher activity levels in North America,
from  deepwater  drilling  in the Gulf of Mexico  and  Europe/Africa,  primarily
related to the North Sea and Nigeria.
     Engineering and  Construction  Services  operating income for the first six
months of 1996 was $48.7  million  compared  to 1995  operating  income of $49.0
million.  Operating  margins  were 2.4% in for the first six  months of 1996 and
3.3% for the same  period in 1995.  Results  for the six  months  include  $31.8
million income  relating to gain sharing  revenue on the Brown & Root portion of
the cost savings realized on the BP Andrew alliance.  The alliance completed the
project  seven months ahead of the  scheduled  production  of oil and achieved a
$125 million savings compared with the targeted cost. This was offset by a $12.2
million reduction in income due to lower activity levels and revenues  generated
by EMC, its  50%-owned  pipeline  construction  affiliate,  and a $16.3  million
charge  relating  to the  impairment  of Brown &  Root's  equity  in the  Dulles
Greenway toll road extension project.

Nonoperating items
      Interest  expense  decreased  to $10.7  million in the first six months of
1996  compared  to  $25.1  million  in the same  period  of the  prior  year due
primarily  to  the  redemption  of  the  zero  coupon  convertible  subordinated
debentures in September  1995, and the redemption of the $42.0 million term loan
in December 1995.
      Interest  income  decreased  in 1996  primarily  due to  lower  levels  of
invested cash due mainly to the redemption of long-term debt.
      Foreign currency losses were $2.0 million for the first six months of 1996
as  compared to a gain of $3.1  million  for the same period in 1995.  The prior
year period  benefited  from a $7.7  million  realized  gain in Nigeria from the
devaluation of the naira offset by losses primarily related to the Mexican peso.
The current year losses are primarily  attributable  to the  devaluation  of the
Venezuelan bolivar.

Net income
      Net  income  from  continuing  operations  in the first six months of 1996
increased  27% to  $118.6  million,  or $1.03 per  share,  compared  with  $93.1
million, or 81 cents per share, in the same period of the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company ended the second quarter of 1996 with cash and  equivalents of
$14.2 million, a decrease of $160.7 million from the end of 1995.

Operating activities
      Cash flows from  operating  activities  were $2.7 million in the first six
months of 1996,  as compared to $120.3  million in the first six months of 1995.
The major  operating  activity use of cash in 1996 was to fund  working  capital
requirements  related to increased  revenues  including the service  contract to
provide technical and logistical support for military peacekeeping operations in
Bosnia.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Investing activities
      Cash flows used in  investing  activities  were $156.7  million and $114.1
million in the first six months of 1996 and 1995, respectively. Included in 1996
investing  activities  is $41.3 million  related to the  Company's  share of the
purchase price of a subsidiary acquired by the Company's M-I Drilling affiliate.

Financing activities
      Cash flows used in financing activities were $5.6 million in the first six
months of 1996  compared to $72.0  million in the first six months of 1995.  The
Company  borrowed  $40.0  million in short-term  funds  consisting of commercial
paper in the first six months of 1996 to fund cash  requirements.  Proceeds from
exercises of stock  options  provided  $13.6  million in the first six months of
1996 compared to $0.7 million in the same period of the prior year.
      The Company has the ability to borrow additional  short-term and long-term
funds if necessary.

LANDMARK GRAPHICS ACQUISITION

      On June 30, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive  agreement for the
purpose of acquiring Landmark Graphics  Corporation in a stock transaction.  See
Note  7 to  the  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  for  additional
information.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

      The Company  completed  its exit from the  insurance  industry  segment on
January 23,  1996,  with  distribution  of the  Company's  property and casualty
insurance subsidiary,  Highlands Insurance Group, Inc., to its shareholders in a
tax-free  spin-off.  The  operations of the Insurance  Services  Group have been
classified as discontinued operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

       The Company is involved as a  potentially  responsible  party in remedial
activities to clean up various  "Superfund"  sites under applicable  Federal law
which  imposes  joint and  several  liability,  if the harm is  indivisible,  on
certain persons without regard to fault, the legality of the original  disposal,
or  ownership  of the  site.  Although  it is very  difficult  to  quantify  the
potential impact of compliance with environmental protection laws, management of
the Company  believes  that any liability of the Company with respect to all but
one of such  sites  will not have a material  adverse  effect on the  results of
operations of the Company.  See Note 6 to the condensed  consolidated  financial
statements for additional information on the one site.
