                               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 1996 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, 1997,  and the results of its  operations  for the three and six months
ended June 30,  1997 and 1996 and its cash flows for the six months  then ended.
The results of  operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 may not be  indicative  of results  for the full year.  Certain  prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

     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 $12.6 million and $13.0  million  higher than
reported at June 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996, respectively.

Note 3. General and Administrative Expenses
     General and  administrative  expenses  were $57.9 million and $58.8 million
for the three  months  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  General and
administrative  expenses  were  $108.9  million  and $110.9  million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Note 4. Income Per Share
     Income per share amounts are based upon the average number of common shares
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. On May 20, 1997, the Company's  shareholders voted
to increase the Company's number of authorized  shares from 200.0 million shares
to 400.0  million  shares.  On June 9, 1997,  the  Company's  Board of Directors
approved a  two-for-one  stock split  effected  in the form of a stock  dividend
distributed on July 21, 1997 to shareholders of record on June 26, 1997. The par
value of the Company's common stock of $2.50 per share remained unchanged.  As a
result of the stock split,  $325.0 million was transferred  from paid-in capital
in excess of par value to common stock.  Historical  share and per share amounts
presented on the condensed consolidated  statements of income have been restated
to reflect the stock split.

     During February,  1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board approved
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standard  No. 128,  "Earnings  per Share",
effective for financial  statements  for both interim and annual  periods ending
after December 15, 1997. The Company plans to adopt the new standard on December
31, 1997 and does not believe the effect of adoption will be material.

Note 5. 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,

</TABLE>

     The  notes  may not be  redeemed  at the  option  of  Halliburton  prior to
maturity.  There is no sinking fund applicable to the notes.  Each holder of the
6.75% notes has the right to require the Company to repay such  holder's  notes,
in whole or in part, on February 1, 2007.  The net proceeds from the sale of the
notes will be used for general corporate  purposes.  The July 8, 1997 and August
5,  1997  offerings  of $50  million  and  $75  million,  respectively,  are not
reflected in the condensed  consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 1997, or the
condensed  consolidated  statements  of cash flows for the six months ended June
30, 1997.
     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 equal  installments  over the term of the Dockyard  Loans and earns
interest at a rate equal to that of the Dockyard Loans. The compensating balance
is included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note  7.  Commitments  and  Contingencies
     The  Company  is  involved  as a  potentially  responsible  party  (PRP) in
remedial  activities  to clean up various  "Superfund"  sites  under  applicable
Federal  law  which  imposes  joint  and  several  liability,  if  the  harm  is
indivisible,  on certain  persons  without regard to fault,  the legality of the
original  disposal,  or ownership of the site.  Although it is very difficult to
quantify the potential impact of compliance with environmental  protection laws,
management  of the Company  believes  that any  liability  of the  Company  with
respect to all but one of such sites will not have a material  adverse effect on
the  results of  operations  of the  Company.  With  respect to a site in Jasper
County,  Missouri (Jasper County Superfund Site), sufficient information has not
been developed to permit  management to make such a determination and management
believes the process of determining the nature and extent of remediation at this
site and the total costs thereof will be lengthy.  Brown & Root,  Inc.  (Brown &
Root), a subsidiary of the Company,  has been named as a PRP with respect to the
Jasper County Superfund Site by the  Environmental  Protection Agency (EPA). The
Jasper County  Superfund  Site includes  areas of mining  activity that occurred
from the 1800's through the mid 1950's in the southwestern  portion of Missouri.
The site  contains lead and zinc mine  tailings  produced from mining  activity.
Brown & Root is one of nine  participating  PRPs which have  agreed to perform a
Remedial  Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS), which, due to various delays,
is not expected to be completed  until the third  quarter of 1998.  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 they may pursue  natural  resource  damages  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 8.  Acquisitions
     On October 4, 1996,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  of Landmark
Graphics  Corporation  (Landmark) through the merger of Landmark with and into a
subsidiary of the Company,  the conversion of the  outstanding  Landmark  common
stock into an aggregate of approximately  20.4 million shares of Common Stock of
the Company (after giving effect to the Company's  two-for-one  stock split) and
the assumption by the Company of the  outstanding  Landmark  stock options.  The
merger qualified as a tax free exchange and was accounted for using the "pooling
of interests" method of accounting for business combinations.  Accordingly,  the
Company's  financial  statements  for the three months and six months ended June
30, 1996 have been restated to include the results of Landmark.

     Prior to the merger,  Landmark had a fiscal year-end of June 30. Landmark's
results  have been  restated  to conform  with  Halliburton  Company's  calendar

     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 in 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.
     On June 9, 1997, the Company entered into a definitive  agreement providing
for the  acquisition of NUMAR  Corporation  (NUMAR).  Headquartered  in Malvern,
Pennsylvania,  NUMAR designs,  manufactures,  and markets the Magnetic Resonance
Imaging  Logging  (MRIL"TM")  tool which  utilizes  magnetic  resonance  imaging
technology to evaluate  subsurface  rock formations in newly drilled oil and gas
wells.
     Under terms of the  agreement,  the Company will issue 0.9664 of a share of
its common  stock for each share of NUMAR common  stock.  The  acquisition  will
require  the  Company to issue  about 9 million  shares of its  common  stock in
exchange for currently outstanding NUMAR shares and additional NUMAR shares that
will become  outstanding  prior to the merger upon the  exercise of  outstanding
NUMAR options and warrants.  The proposed merger has received unanimous approval
from the  respective  boards of  directors of each company but is subject to the
approval of NUMAR's shareholders.  The merger will be accounted for as a pooling
of  interests  and will be a  tax-free  exchange  to NUMAR's  shareholders.  The
Company expects to consummate the merger during the third quarter of 1997.

Note 9.  Special Charges
     During  September  1996,  the  Company  recorded  special  charges of $65.3
million,  which included provisions of $41.0 million to terminate  approximately
one thousand employees related to reorganization  efforts by the Engineering and
Construction Group and plans to combine various administrative support functions
into combined shared services for the Company;  and $20.2 million to restructure
certain Engineering and Construction Group businesses,  provide for excess lease
space and other items. Approximately $30.2 million has been charged or allocated
to these reserves for employee  related costs.  Approximately  $12.5 million has
been  charged to the reserve in  connection  with excess  leases and other items
with the remaining  amount to be charged over the term of excess leases  through
August, 2003.

     During March 1996, Landmark recorded special charges of $12.2 million ($8.7
million  after tax) for the  write-off of  in-process  research and  development
activities  acquired  in  connection  with the  purchase  by Landmark of certain
assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of Western Atlas International,
Inc. and the write-off of related redundant assets and activities.

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.  However,  United States law
imposes a variety of trade sanctions restricting the ability of the Company, and
in some cases its foreign  subsidiaries,  to conduct  business in some countries
where there are markets for the  Company's  goods and  services.  In the future,
certain of these trade sanctions may adversely affect the ability of the Company
to  conduct  business  with  foreign  customers  having  activities  in  certain
countries  such as Cuba,  Iran or Libya which are targeted by the United States,
including  restrictions  on the  Company's  ability  to do  business  with  such
customers in unrelated  countries.  From time to time,  discussions occur in the
United  States  Congress  and   Administration   concerning  the  imposition  of
additional  trade sanctions which could affect several other countries which are
important markets for the Company. Existing or new restrictions which impair the
ability  of the  Company  and/or its  customers  to  conduct  business  in these
countries could adversely affect the results of the Company's operations in some
future period;  however,  recently imposed trade sanctions affecting Myanmar are
not expected to have a material adverse affect on the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter of 1997 Compared with the Second Quarter of 1996
Revenues
     Consolidated  revenues  increased  22% to  $2,231.1  million  in the second
quarter of 1997 compared with $1,830.8  million in the same quarter of the prior
year. Approximately 59% of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from
international  activities  in the second  quarter of 1997 compared to 55% in the
second quarter of 1996. Consolidated international revenues increased 29% in the
second  quarter of 1997 over the second  quarter  of 1996.  Consolidated  United
States  revenues  increased by 13% in the second quarter of 1997 compared to the
second quarter of 1996.
     Energy Group  revenues  increased  by 42%  compared  with a 16% increase in
drilling  activity as measured by the worldwide  rotary rig count for the second
quarter of 1997 over the same quarter of the prior year.  International revenues
increased  by 45% and  United  States  revenues  increased  36% while the United
States rig count increased 20% over the same quarter of the prior year.
     Engineering and Construction  Group revenues decreased 4% to $774.7 million
compared  with  $806.2  million  in the same  quarter of the prior  year.  Lower
activity levels under the service  contract with the US Department of Defense to
provide technical and logistical support for military peacekeeping operations in
Bosnia reduced revenues  approximately $100 million.  The decrease was partially
offset by  increased  revenues  for civil  services  and  projects in Europe and
Africa.

Operating Income
     Consolidated operating income increased 57% to $182.0 million in the second
quarter of 1997  compared  with $115.7  million in the same quarter of the prior
year.  Approximately  54% of the  Company's  consolidated  operating  income was
derived from international  activities in the second quarter of 1997 compared to
84% in the second quarter of 1996.
     Energy Group operating income increased 25% to $160.1 million in the second
quarter of 1997  compared  with $128.3  million in the same quarter of the prior
year.  The operating  margin for the second  quarter of 1997 was 11% compared to
the prior year operating margin of 12.5%. Operating margins for the current year
quarter are  comparatively  lower due primarily to $31.8 million income relating
to gain sharing revenue on the Brown & Root Energy Services  portion of the cost
savings  realized on the BP Andrew alliance that was included in the results for
second quarter of 1996. 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.  The increase in operating  income in 1997 is primarily
related to higher pressure pumping  activity and margins for Halliburton  Energy
Services in North America,  the Middle East, and Asia/Pacific.  Logging activity
and margins in North America and Asia/Pacific and completion  products  activity
and margins in the Middle East were also higher.  All other  Halliburton  Energy
Services product service lines showed increased  activity and improved operating
margins.  Landmark also reported higher margins and operating income compared to
the prior year quarter.

                                       9
<PAGE>

     Engineering  and  Construction  Group operating  income  increased to $30.0
million  compared to a loss of $4.2  million in the second  quarter of the prior
year. Operating margins were 3.9% in the second quarter of 1997 compared to 1.5%
in the prior year second  quarter after  excluding a $16.3 million charge in the
prior year  quarter to reflect the  impairment  of Brown & Root's  equity in the
Dulles  Greenway toll road extension  project.  United States and  international
activities  contributed to the increased operating margins. The improved margins
also reflect benefits now accruing from the restructuring efforts in late 1996.

 Nonoperating Items
     Interest  expense  increased to $9.7 million in the second  quarter of 1997
compared to $5.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year due  primarily to
the Company's issuance of $125.0 million of 6.75% notes on February 6, 1997, and
$50.0 million of 7.53% notes on May 12, 1997,  under the  Company's  medium-term
note program as well as interest  expense related to higher levels of short-term
borrowings in 1997 as compared to 1996.
     Interest income  decreased in 1997 to $2.1 million from $3.3 million in the
second quarter of 1996 primarily due to lower levels of invested cash.
     Foreign currency losses were $0.4 million for the second quarter of 1997 as
compared to $3.2 million for the same  quarter in 1996.  The losses in 1996 were
primarily attributable to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.
     The effective  income tax rate increased to 39.4% for the second quarter of
1997 from  34.4% for the  second  quarter  of 1996 due  primarily  to  increased
profitability  in North  America  and the  realization  of  previously  reserved
foreign net operating losses during the prior year.
     Minority  interest in net income of subsidiaries  for the second quarter of
1997  increased to $3.5 million due  primarily to the  Company's 51% interest in
Devonport Management Limited (DML).
 
Net Income
     Net income in the second quarter of 1997  increased 42% to $101.9  million,
or 40 cents per share,  compared with $71.8 million,  or 29 cents per share,  in
the same quarter of the prior year after giving effect to the two-for-one common
stock split declared on June 9, 1997.

First Six Months of 1997 Compared with the First Six Months of 1996
Revenues
     Consolidated  revenues  increased 17% to $4,128.6  million in the first six
months of 1997 compared  with  $3,535.5  million in the same period of the prior
year. Approximately 57% of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from
international  activities in the first six months of 1997 compared to 54% in the
same period of 1996.  Consolidated  international  revenues increased 23% in the
first  six  months of 1997 over the same  period  of 1996.  Consolidated  United
States revenues increased by 10% in the first six months of 1997 compared to the
same period of 1996.
     Energy Group  revenues  increased  by 36%  compared  with a 14% increase in
drilling  activity as measured by the  worldwide  rotary rig count for the first
six  months  of 1997  over the same  period  of the  prior  year.  International
revenues  increased by 37% and United  States  revenues  increased 33% while the
international  rig count increased 12% and the United States rig count increased
21% over the same period of the prior year.
     Engineering  and  Construction  Group  revenues  decreased  5% to  $1,551.9
million compared with $1,639.4 million in the same six month period of the prior
year.  Lower  activity  under the service  contract  with the US  Department  of
Defense to provide  technical and logistical  support for military  peacekeeping
operations in Bosnia reduced revenues  approximately $255 million.  The decrease
was partially  offset by increased  revenues for civil  services and projects in
Europe and Africa.

Operating Income
Consolidated  operating  income increased 71% to $320.7 million in the first six
months of 1997  compared  with  $187.3  million in the same  period of the prior
year.  Excluding  special  charges  recorded  by  Landmark  in the  prior  year,
operating   income  increased  by  61%  over  the  first  six  months  of  1996.
Approximately  58% of the Company's  consolidated  operating  income was derived
from international activities in the first six months of 1997 compared to 72% in
the same period of 1996 excluding special charges recorded in 1996.
     Energy Group operating  income increased 34% to $277.3 million in the first
six months of 1997 compared with $207.2  million in the same period of the prior
year.  The operating  margin for the first six months of 1997 was 10.8% compared
to the prior year operating margin of 10.9%.  Operating  margins for the current
year are  comparatively  lower due primarily to $31.8 million income relating to
gain  sharing  revenue on the Brown & Root Energy  Services  portion of the cost
savings  realized on the BP Andrew alliance that was included in results for the
first six months of 1996. 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.  The increase in operating  income in 1997 is primarily
related to higher pressure pumping  activity and margins for Halliburton  Energy
Services  in  North  America,  the  Middle  East  and  Asia/Pacific.  All  other
Halliburton  Energy Services product service lines showed  increased  activities
and improved  operating  margins.  Landmark  also  reported  higher  margins and
operating income compared to the prior year.
     Engineering  and  Construction  Group  operating  income  for the first six
months of 1997 was  $59.4  million  compared  to 1996  operating  income of $9.5
million.  Operating margins improved to 3.8% in for the first six months of 1997
from 1.6% for the same period in 1996 after  excluding a $16.3 million charge in
the prior year period to reflect the  impairment of Brown & Root's equity in the
Dulles Greenway toll road extension  project.  The increase in operating  income
reflects improved performance by civil services provided in Europe and Africa as
well  as  improved  results  from  engineering,   procurement  and  construction
activities.  The improved  margins also reflect  benefits now accruing  from the
restructuring efforts in late 1996.

Nonoperating Items
     Interest expense increased to $15.8 million in the first six months of 1997
compared to $10.8  million in the same period of the prior year due primarily to
the Company's issuance of $125.0 million of 6.75% notes on February 6, 1997, and
$50.0 million of 7.53% notes on May 12, 1997,  under the  Company's  medium-term
note program as well as interest  expense related to higher levels of short-term
borrowings.
     Interest  income  decreased in 1997 to $6.5 million  primarily due to lower
levels of invested cash during the first six months of 1997.
     Foreign  currency  gains were $0.6 million for the first six months of 1997
as compared to losses of $2.2 million for the same period in 1996.
     The effective  income tax rate  increased to 38.8% for the first six months
of 1997  from 35% in 1996 due  primarily  to  increased  profitability  in North
America and the realization of previously  reserved foreign net operating losses
during the prior year.
     Minority  interest in net income of  subsidiaries  was $6.4 million for the
first  six  months  of 1997  compared  to  minority  interest  in net  losses of
subsidiaries of $0.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The majority
of this increase  reflects the consolidation of DML's results for the first half
of 1997 in connection with the Company  increasing its ownership in DML from 30%
to 51% during March 1997.
 
Net Income
     Net  income  from in the first six months of 1997  increased  58% to $184.9
million,  or 72 cents per share,  compared with $117.3 million,  or 47 cents per
share,  in the  same  period  of the  prior  year  after  giving  effect  to the
two-for-one common stock split declared on June 9, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company ended the second  quarter of 1997 with cash and  equivalents of
$50.4 million, a decrease of $163.2 million from the end of 1996.

Operating Activities
     Cash flows used for  operating  activities  were $23.8 million in the first
six months of 1997, as compared to cash flows  provided by operating  activities
of $24.8 million in the first six months of 1996. The major  operating  activity
use of  cash in  1997  was to  fund  working  capital  requirements  related  to
increased  revenues from the Energy Group and for Engineering  and  Construction
Group projects.

Investing Activities
     Capital  expenditures were $259.2 million for the first six months of 1997,
an  increase  of 83% over the same  period of the prior  year.  The  increase in
capital spending primarily reflects  investments in equipment and infrastructure
for the Energy Group and the  acquisition  of the Royal  Dockyard by DML, net of
related borrowings.
     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 equal  installments  over the term of the Dockyard  Loans and earns
interest at a rate equal to that of the Dockyard 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.
     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.
     During July 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding  common stock
of Kinhill Holdings Limited (Kinhill) for  approximately  $34 million.  Kinhill,
headquartered  in  Australia,   provides  engineering  in  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.
     Included  in 1996  investing  activities  is $41.3  million  related to the
Company's share of the purchase price of a company acquired by the Company's M-I
Drilling affiliate.

Financing Activities
     Cash flows from financing  activities  were $254.3 million in the first six
months of 1997  compared  to cash flows  used in  financing  activities  of $8.9
million in the first six months of 1996. The Company  borrowed $111.8 million in
short-term  funds consisting of commercial paper and bank loans in the first six
months of 1997.  Proceeds from exercises of stock options provided $38.8 million
in the first six months of 1997  compared to $15.3 million in the same period of
the prior year.
     On February 11, 1997, the Company issued $125.0 million principal amount of
6.75% notes (the Notes) due  February  1, 2027 under the  Company's  medium-term
note program. The Notes were priced at 99.78%, to yield 6.78% to maturity.  Each
holder of the notes has the right to require the Company to repay such  holder's
notes,  in whole or in part,  on  February  1, 2007.  The  Company  used the net
proceeds  from  the sale of the  Notes  for  general  corporate  purposes  which
included  repayment of debt,  acquisitions,  and loans to and/or  investments in
subsidiaries of the Company for working  capital,  repayment of debt and capital
expenditures.
     On May 12, 1997, the Company issued $50.0 million principal amount of 7.53%
notes  (the May  Notes)  at par  value  due May 12,  2017  under  the  Company's
medium-term  note program.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the
sale of the May Notes for general corporate purposes.

<PAGE>

     On July 8, 1997, the Company issued $50.0 million principal amount of 6.27%
notes  (the  July  Notes) at par  value  due July 8,  1999  under the  Company's
medium-term  note program.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the
July Notes for general corporate purposes.
     On August 5, 1997, the Company issued a $75.0 million  principal  amount of
6.30%  notes  (the  August  notes) at par value due  August 5,  2002,  under the
Company's  medium-term note program. The Company intends to use the net proceeds
from the August notes for general corporate purposes.
     The  Company  believes  it has  sufficient  borrowing  capacity to fund its
working capital requirements and investing activities. As of August 5, 1997, the
Company had  approximately  $375.0  million of credit  facilities  with  various
commercial banks, of which $100.0 million was committed.

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 7 to the condensed  consolidated  financial
statements for additional information on the one site.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

     In accordance  with the safe harbor  provisions  of the Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform Act of 1995,  the Company  notes that the  statements in this
Form 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.  While such forward-looking  information
constitutes  estimates  reflecting  the Company's best judgment based on current
information  and  involve a number of risks and  uncertainties,  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 estimates.  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  of  operation;
environmental laws, including those that require emission performance  standards
for new and existing  facilities;  the  magnitude of  governmental  spending for
military and logistical support of the type provided by the Company;  operations
in higher risk countries; technological and structural changes in the industries
served by the Company;  changes in the price of oil and natural gas;  changes in
capital  spending by customers  in the  hydrocarbon  industry  for  exploration,
development,  production,  processing,  refining and pipeline delivery networks;
changes in capital  spending by customers in the wood pulp and paper  industries
for plants and equipment;  and changes in capital  spending by  governments  for
infrastructure. In addition, future trends for revenues and profitability remain
difficult to predict in the industries served by the Company.
