                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Benefits Committee of the
Brown & Root, Inc. Employees'
Retirement and Savings Plan:

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for plan
benefits of the Brown & Root, Inc.  Employees'  Retirement and Savings Plan (the
"Plan") as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related  statements of changes
in net assets  available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998.
These financial statements and the supplemental schedules referred to below  are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial  statements and  supplemental  schedules based on our
audits.

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

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997,  and  the statement of changes  in its net assets
available for  plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of  forming  an  opinion  on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for  investment  purposes and  reportable  transactions  are  presented  for the
purpose  of  additional  analysis  and are  not a  required  part  of the  basic
financial   statements  but  are  supplementary   information  required  by  the
Department of Labor's  Rules and  Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Fund Information in the
statements  of net assets  available  for plan  benefits and the  statements  of
changes in net assets  available  for plan benefits is presented for the purpose
of additional  analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan
benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The
supplemental  schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures  applied in the audits of the basic financial  statements and, in our
opinion,  are fairly  stated in all  material  respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

As further  discussed  in Note 8 to the  accompanying  financial  statements, on
December  31,  1998,  certain net assets of the Plan were  transferred  into the
Halliburton  Profit  Sharing  and  Savings  Plan,  now  renamed  the Halliburton
Retirement and Savings Plan.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997


1.   SUMMARY OF THE PLAN:
     --------------------

The following brief description of the Brown & Root, Inc. Employees'  Retirement
and Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only.
Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information.

Participation
- -------------

The  Plan  is a  trusteed,  defined  contribution  profit-sharing  pension  plan
covering eligible employees of Brown & Root Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or the
"Employer"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Halliburton
Company,  and those  subsidiaries and affiliated  companies  (collectively,  the
"Employers")  which have adopted the Plan,  as amended.  Employees  covered by a
collective  bargaining  agreement  are not eligible to  participate  in the Plan
unless the Plan has been  adopted as a part of such  agreement.  An  employee is
eligible for  participation  in the Plan on the first day of the month following
the completion of one year of service with his/her employer.  The administrative
committee of the Plan consists of members appointed by the Board of Directors of
the Company.

Contributions
- -------------

Employer  contributions consist of an annual  profit-sharing  contribution and a
monthly 401(k) matching contribution.

At the authorization of the Board of Directors,  the Company  contributes to the
Plan a profit-sharing  amount to be allocated to each  participant  based on the
proportion that each participant's weighted eligible earnings, as defined by the
Plan agreement, bear to the total weighted eligible earnings of all participants
entitled  to  an  allocation.  Weighted  eligible  earnings  are  determined  by
multiplying  a  participant's  eligible  earnings  by  a  factor  based  on  the
participant's  completed  years of  service  as of the end of the  Plan  year as
follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

                     Years of Service                 Factor
              -----------------------------           ------
              <S>                                     <C>
              Less than 4                              1/2
              At least 4 but less than 10              1
              At least 10 but less than 15             2
              At least 15 but less than 20             3
              20 or more                               4
</TABLE>

In order to be eligible for such contribution,  the participant must be actively
employed  by the  Company  on  December  31 of  the  Plan  year  for  which  the
contribution  applies  unless the  participant  meets certain  other  conditions
specified by the Plan.

Participants  may elect to contribute to the Plan on a pretax basis a percentage
of their  eligible  earnings,  as defined by the Plan,  provided  that the total
dollar  amount of these  pretax  deferrals  during  the year does not exceed the
applicable dollar limitation imposed by Treasury Regulations.

<PAGE>
                                       2


The  Employer  shall  contribute  each  month  an  amount  equal  to  25% of the
participant's  contribution  during such month up to a maximum of $250 per year.

Additionally, participants may elect to make after-tax contributions to the Plan
not to exceed 15% of their eligible earnings during the Plan year.

Investment Options
- ------------------

The assets of the Plan are combined  with assets of certain  other benefit plans
of affiliated companies in the Halliburton Company Employee Benefit Master Trust
(the "Master Trust").  The Master Trust is comprised of the following investment
options:

     o   General  Investment  Fund  (GIF) - The GIF is a  diversified  fund that
         invests  primarily  in  foreign  and  domestic  stocks and bonds and is
         structured for long-term growth.  The individual  securities in the GIF
         are  managed by several  registered  professional  investment  managers
         selected by the investment  committee,  which is appointed by the Board
         of Directors of Halliburton Company.

     o   Fixed Income Fund (FIF) - The FIF is a diversified fund that places the
         preservation of principal as its primary objective.  Investments of the
         FIF include  primarily  insurance  investment  contracts,  asset-backed
         investment contracts, bank investment contracts, and domestic bonds. As
         in the GIF,  the  investment  committee  uses  professional  investment
         managers to manage  individual  securities,  with the  exception of the
         bank and insurance contracts which are not actively traded.

     o   Halliburton Stock Fund (HSF) - The  HSF is not  a diversified  fund and
         invests only in the common stock of Halliburton Company.

     o   Equity Investment Fund (EIF) - The EIF invests primarily in U.S. stocks
         and non-U.S. stocks,  generally the same  stocks which comprise part of
         the GIF.

Plan  participants may direct their  contributions,  as well as their portion of
Company  contributions,  between  the  FIF,  the GIF,  the HSF  and the EIF,  as
defined by the Plan agreement.  Plan  participants are allowed to transfer up to
15% of their  profit-sharing  account and Company match account  balances to the
HSF.

Benefits Paid to Participants
- -----------------------------

Upon  application  and  approval  by  the  Plan's  administrative  committee,  a
participant may withdraw,  during active employment,  all or part of the balance
in his/her  employee  contribution  account and, under certain  conditions,  the
vested portion of his/her Employer  contribution  account.  Participants  have a
vested interest in the Company contribution account based on years of service as
follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

                   Years of Service                  Vested Percentage
              --------------------------             -----------------
              <S>                                    <C>
              Less than 3                                     0%
              At least 3 but less than 4                     20
              At least 4 but less than 5                     50
              At least 5 but less than 6                     60
              At least 6 but less than 7                     80
              7 or more                                     100
</TABLE>

The right to benefits  under the Plan is  nonforfeitable  upon the attainment of
age 55, permanent disability, or death. A retired or disabled participant or the
beneficiary  of a deceased  participant is entitled to receive the total amounts
in  the  participant  and  Employer  contribution  accounts  as of the  date  of
retirement, full and permanent disability, or death, whether his/her interest in
such accounts is vested or not. Benefits are recorded when paid.

<PAGE>
                                       3


Forfeitures
- -----------

Forfeitures represent the nonvested portion of a terminated participant's profit
sharing  account.  Forfeitures  are  allocated at each  year-end  ($652,818  and
$748,592 in 1998 and 1997, respectively) to all active participants eligible for
an Employer  contribution  for such year.  The  allocation  is based on the same
method as that of the Employer contribution discussed above.

Allocation of Income
- --------------------

The income or loss of the GIF, FIF,  HSF, and EIF is allocated to  participants'
accounts daily. The allocation to each participant's account is made in the form
of an increase or decrease in the net asset value per unit on a daily basis.

Plan Amendment, Modification, and Termination
- ---------------------------------------------

The Board of Directors of the Company may amend,  modify,  or terminate the Plan
at any time. No such  termination is  contemplated,  but if it should occur, the
accounts  of all  participants  would be  immediately  fully  vested and paid in
accordance with the terms of the Plan.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
     --------------------------------

Basis of Accounting
- -------------------

The financial  statements of the Plan are prepared  using the accrual  method of
accounting.

Allocation of Master Trust Net Investment Activity
- --------------------------------------------------

The allocation of the Master Trust net investment activity represents the Plan's
share of the net  investment  income or loss on  investments  held by the Master
Trust.  The net  investment  income or loss is the  realized  gain or loss  from
investments  sold,  change in the  unrealized  net gain or loss on  investments,
dividend  income,  and  interest  income less related  expenses  recorded by the
Master Trust (see Note 3).

Accrued Expenses
- ----------------

Accrued expenses  represent  amounts owed for Plan expenses as of the end of the
year and amounts due to  participants  to whom benefit  checks have been written
but have not been cashed for periods greater than 90 days.

Valuation of Plan Assets
- ------------------------

As of May 1, 1998,  the Plan assets are valued by the Trustee on a daily  basis.
Participants  were in an activity "black out" period from April 3, 1998, to June
1, 1998, due to the change in recordkeeper to Hewitt Associates, Inc. ("Hewitt")
as of May 1, 1998.  During  this  period,  participants  were unable to make any
requests for withdrawals,  transfer funds, or reallocate balances. Subsequent to
June 1, 1998, participants were able to request qualified withdrawals,  transfer
funds, and reallocate balances on a daily basis.

Administrative Expenses
- -----------------------

Administrative   expenses  which  are  related  to  compliance  and  operational
activities as defined by the Department of Labor may be charged against the Plan
assets at the discretion of the Plan  administrator  and in accordance  with the
terms of the Plan.  Certain  expenses of the Plan are paid by the  Company.  The
Plan is not liable to the Company for these expenses paid on its behalf.

<PAGE>
                                       4


Excess Contributions
- --------------------

Excess  contributions  represent  pretax and after-tax  amounts  contributed  to
participant  accounts  which  exceeded the statutory  limits,  as defined by the
Internal  Revenue  Code,  and earnings  thereon.  These amounts were refunded to
participants  subsequent to year-end and were included in the participant's 1998
and 1997 personal income.

Payment of Benefits
- -------------------

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

Preparation  of the Plan's  financial  statements in conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  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  Plan's
financial  statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.   MASTER TRUST:
     -------------

The assets of the Plan are  combined  with the assets of certain  other  benefit
plans of affiliated  companies in the Master Trust.  There are four funds within
the Master  Trust:  the GIF, FIF,  HSF, and EIF. The  combination  of the Plans'
assets is only for investment  purposes,  and each plan continues to be operated
under its current plan agreement, as amended. All assets of the Master Trust are
held by State Street Bank and Trust ("State Street").

The funds within the Master Trust hold bank,  insurance and investment contracts
providing a fully  benefit-responsive  feature.  These investments are stated at
contract  value,  which  approximates  fair  value.  Where  the  Trust  owns the
underlying securities of asset-backed  investment  contracts,  the contracts are
stated at fair market value of the underlying  securities plus an adjustment for
the  difference  between  fair market  value of the  underlying  securities  and
contract  value.   Contract  value  represents  the  principal  balance  of  the
investment  plus accrued  interest at the stated  contract  rate,  less payments
received and contract charges by the insurance company or bank.

Cash equivalents,  derivative financial instruments, stock securities, bonds and
notes and all other debt  securities are presented at their quoted market value.
Realized and unrealized changes in market values are recognized in the period in
which the changes occur.

The GIF invests in the EIF to obtain its equity exposure.  The EIF operates on a
unitized  basis.  All EIF investments are valued at the end of the day. The unit
price is  calculated  by  dividing  the total  value of the  assets by the total
number of units in existence.  Contributions  into and withdrawals from the EIF,
in the course of a day,  are used to buy and sell units at the  preceding  day's
closing unit price.

Real estate  mortgages  are stated at cost plus accrued  interest  less payments
received.

Real estate holdings are stated at their  estimated  market values as determined
by an independent appraiser.

The assets of the Plan were held by the Master  Trust  during  1998 and 1997 (as
described  above) and,  accordingly,  investment  activity for 1998 and 1997 was
recorded by the Master Trust.  All investment  transactions are accounted for on
the  trade  date  basis  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted   accounting
principles.  The Master  Trust  investment  activity  is included in the summary
statements below.

The  Master  Trust  makes use of several  investment  strategies  involving  the
limited use of  derivative  instruments.  The Master  Trust's  management,  as a
matter of policy and with risk management as their primary  objective,  monitors
such risk  indicators  as duration and where  applicable,  counter-party  credit
risk.  These  are  monitored  for both the  derivatives  themselves  and for the
investment  portfolios holding the derivatives.  Investment managers are allowed
to  use  derivatives  for  such  strategies  as  portfolio  structuring,  return
enhancement and hedging against deterioration of investment holdings from market
and interest rate changes.  Derivatives are also used as a hedge against foreign
currency  fluctuations.  The Master Trust's management does not allow investment
managers for the Master Trust to use  leveraging  for any  investment  purchase.
Derivative  investments are stated at estimated fair market values as determined
by quoted market prices.  Gains and losses on such  investments  are included in
the combining statements of changes in net assets.

</TABLE>

5.   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
     ---------------------

The Plan  obtained its latest  determination  letter on September  26, 1995,  in
which the Internal  Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed,  was
in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code").  The Plan has been amended since  receiving the  determination  letter.
However, management believes, based on consultation with legal counsel, that the
Plan is  currently  designed  and  operated in  compliance  with the  applicable
requirements  of the Code.  Therefore,  they believe that the Plan was qualified
under  Section  401(a) of the Code and the  related  trust was tax exempt  under
Section 501(a) of the Code as of December 31, 1998 and 1997.

6.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
     ---------------------------

State  Street Trust is the trustee  defined by the Plan.  The assets of the Plan
are  held by the  Master  Trust,  of which  State  Street  is also the  trustee.
Therefore these assets qualify as party-in-interest.

7.   UNITS OF PARTICIPATION:
     -----------------------

The Plan assigns units of participation  to participants.  As of April 30, 1998,
all of the  investment  options were  reunitized to $10.0000 net asset value per
unit.  The  following  details the total number of units and net asset value per
unit as of December 31, 1998 and 1997:

8.   ASSET TRANSFER:
     ---------------

As of December 31, 1998, $751,238,410 of the net assets of this plan were merged
into the Halliburton Profit Sharing and Savings Plan ("HPSSP").  The participant
accounts  included in this  transfer  were all active  employees on December 31,
1998, who were not classified as craft  employees.  As a result of the transfer,
all  active  non-craft  employees  ceased  participation  in the Plan and became
active  participants  in the HPSSP and all  participant  account  balances  were
transferred to HPSSP.  Non-craft employees include all technical,  professional,
