                               HALLIBURTON COMPANY
                     Notes to Quarterly Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1. Management Representations
         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 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
         In the opinion of the Company,  the  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements  include all  adjustments  necessary to present  fairly the Company's
financial  position as of March 31, 1999,  and the results of its operations and
cash flows for the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.  The results of
operations  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999  and 1998 may not be
indicative  of  results  for the full  year.  Additionally,  certain  prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Note 2. Business Segment Information
         The Company has three  business  segments.  The Energy  Services  Group
segment  includes   pressure  pumping   equipment  and  services,   logging  and
perforating, drilling systems and services, drilling fluids systems, drill bits,
specialized  completion and production  equipment and services and well control.
Also included in the Energy Services Group are upstream oil and gas engineering,
construction  and  maintenance  services,  specialty  pipe coating,  insulation,
underwater   engineering   services,   integrated   exploration  and  production
information  systems, and professional  services to the petroleum industry.  The
Engineering and Construction  Group segment provides  engineering,  procurement,
construction,  project management,  and facilities operation and maintenance for
hydrocarbon  processing and other  industrial and  governmental  customers.  The
Dresser  Equipment  Group  segment  designs,  manufactures  and  markets  highly
engineered   products  and  systems  principally  for  oil  and  gas  producers,
transporters, processors, distributors and petroleum users throughout the world.
         The Company's equity in pretax income or losses of related companies is
included  in  revenues  and  operating   income  of  each  applicable   segment.
Intersegment  revenues  included in the revenues of the other business  segments
are immaterial.
         The table below presents revenues and operating income by segment.

Note 3. Acquisitions and Dispositions
         On September 29, 1998 the Company  completed the acquisition of Dresser
Industries,  Inc.  (Dresser)  pursuant to the  Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
Merger), by converting the outstanding Dresser common stock into Common Stock of
the  Company.   The  Merger  qualified  as  a  tax-free  exchange  to  Dresser's
shareholders  for U.S.  federal  income tax purposes and was accounted for using
the  pooling  of  interests  method of  accounting  for  business  combinations.
Accordingly,  the Company's  financial  statements have been restated to include
the results of Dresser for all periods presented.  Beginning in 1998,  Dresser's
year-end of October 31 was conformed to Halliburton's calendar year-end.
         The results of  operations  for  Halliburton  and Dresser  prior to the
Merger and the combined amounts are presented below:

         In connection  with the Merger and in compliance  with a consent decree
with the United States Department of Justice, Halliburton's pre-merger worldwide
logging-while-drilling  (LWD)  business  and related  measurement-while-drilling
(MWD)  business  was sold in March 1999.  The  financial  impact of the sale was
considered  in the third  quarter 1998 special  charge.  No further  charges are
anticipated  in  connection  with the sale of this  business.  This business was
previously a part of the Energy Services Group.

         The cost of U.S.  manufacturing  and U.S. field service  inventories is
determined  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 $111 million higher than reported at March 31, 1999, which
is unchanged from December 31, 1998.

Note 5.  Dresser Financial Information
         Dresser has ceased  filing  periodic  reports with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  Dresser's 8% senior notes (the Notes) remain  outstanding
and the Notes are fully  guaranteed by the Company.  As long as the Notes remain
outstanding,  summarized  financial  information of Dresser will be presented in
periodic  reports  filed by the Company on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.  The Company
has not presented separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning
Dresser because  management has determined  such  information is not material to
holders of the Notes.
         In January 1999, as part of the legal  reorganization  associated  with
the Merger, Halliburton Delaware, Inc., a first tier holding company subsidiary,
was  merged  into  Dresser.  As a result of this  action,  the  majority  of the
operating  assets and  activities  of the combined  company in 1999 are included
within the legal structure of Dresser.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies
         Asbestosis  Litigation.  Since  1976,  Dresser  has  been  involved  in
litigation  resulting from allegations that third parties had sustained injuries
and damage from the inhalation of asbestos fibers  contained in certain products
manufactured  by Dresser and its former  divisions or  subsidiaries or companies
acquired by Dresser.  Dresser has  approximately  65,000 pending claims at March
31, 1999.  Certain  settlements,  previously  reported,  covering  approximately
7,600 claims, are carried as pending until releases are signed.  The Company has
an additional 10,000 asbestos claims  pending  which have  arisen as a result of
construction  and renovation work performed by the Engineering and  Construction
Group segment.  During  the first  quarter of  1999,  approximately 8,600 claims
were filed and approximately 5,500 claims against the Company were resolved. The
settlements  reached during the first quarter were consistent with the Company's
historical  experience.   The  Company  continues  to  believe  that  provisions
recorded are adequate to cover the estimated loss from asbestosis litigation.
         Pursuant  to an  agreement  entered  into at the time of the  spin-off,
Global Industrial Technologies,  Inc. ("Global" formerly INDRESCO, Inc.) assumed
liability for asbestos  related claims filed against Dresser after July 31, 1992
relating   to   refractory   products    manufactured   or   marketed   by   the
Harbison-Walker-Refractories  Division of  Dresser.  These  asbestos  claims are
subject to certain  agreements  with  insurance  carriers that cover expense and
indemnity payments.  Global now disputes that it assumed  responsibility for any
of such asbestos  claims based on  negligence.  Global also now asserts  certain
other claims relating to the insurance  coverage  responding to asbestos claims.
In order to resolve these assertions,  Global has invoked the dispute resolution
provisions of the 1992  agreement,  which require binding  arbitration.  Dresser
believes  that these new  assertions  by Global are without merit and intends to
vigorously  defend itself  against them. On February 19, 1999 Dresser filed suit
in  the  Delaware   Chancery  Court  seeking  an  injunction  to  restrain  such
arbitration as being barred by the Delaware statute of limitations. Global moved
to  dismiss  the  Delaware  lawsuit  and that  motion is pending a ruling by the
Delaware Court. In a separate action, Dresser learned that Global had threatened
to sue the Continental  Insurance Company over insurance  proceeds,  and filed a
lawsuit in state  court in Dallas on April 9, 1999,  seeking  an  injunction  to
prevent  Global  from  suing  Continental.  Following  a  hearing,  a  Temporary
Injunction  was granted on April 29,  1999. A trial date was set for December 6,
1999  for the  permanent injunction.  Global  has filed  a Notice of Appeal from
that ruling.

         Environmental.  Some  of  the  Company's  subsidiaries  are involved as
potentially responsible parties (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's  subsidiaries 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.  Kellogg Brown &  Root, Inc. (Kellogg 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). 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
Kellogg Brown & Root cannot  determine the extent of its liability,  if any, for
remediation  costs or  natural resource  damages on  any reasonably  practicable
basis.
         Merger  Litigation.  In  connection  with the  Merger,  Dresser and its
directors  were named as defendants in three  lawsuits filed in late February of
1998 and early March of 1998 in the  Delaware  Court of  Chancery.  The lawsuits
each  purported to be a class  action filed on behalf of Dresser's  stockholders
and alleged that the  consideration to be paid to Dresser's  stockholders in the
Merger  was  inadequate  and did not  reflect  the true  value of  Dresser.  The
complaints  also each  alleged  that the  directors  of Dresser  breached  their
fiduciary  duties in approving the Merger.  One of the actions  further  alleged
self-dealing  on the part of the  individual  defendants  and asserted  that the
directors  were  obliged  to conduct  an  auction  to assure  that  stockholders
received the maximum realizable value for their shares. All three actions sought
preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages. On June 10, 1998
the court issued an order  consolidating  the three  lawsuits which required the
plaintiffs to file an amended  consolidated  complaint "as soon as practicable."
On April 1, 1999 the  plaintiffs  filed a notice of dismissal.  In the Company's
opinion, these cases are now concluded.
         Other.  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. 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.  Options to purchase 3.8
million  shares of common stock which were  outstanding  during the three months
ended March 31, 1999 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 9. Special Charges
         During the third  quarter of 1998 a pretax charge of $945 million ($722
million after tax) was taken to provide for costs associated with the Merger and
industry  downturn  due to  declining  oil and gas  prices.  During  the  fourth
quarter,  an additional  charge of $35 million ($24 million after tax) was taken
to provide  $30  million  for  additional  personnel  reduction  costs  covering
approximately  2,750  employees  within the Energy Services Group and $5 million
for additional facility consolidations within the Energy Services Group.

         The Company  utilized $34 million of asset related  reserves during the
first quarter of 1999, including redundant inventory and equipment, software and
other intangible assets. The remaining balance represents the write-down to fair
value less  disposal  costs at the expected  disposal  date of redundant  assets
including  information  technology equipment to be replaced during 1999 with the
Company's standard common office equipment.

         Personnel  charges in 1998 reflect  announced  headcount  reductions of
10,850  affecting all segments, corporate and shared  service  functions.  Since
July of 1998, the Company has  reduced employment  levels, primarily  operations
personnel, by approximately 9,500 (approximately 6,000 within North  America and
1,500 within Latin  America and 2,000  throughout  the world),  including  8,400
within the Energy Services Group.  During the first quarter of 1999, the Company
reduced  headcount levels,  primarily  operations  personnel,  by  approximately
4,500 including 3,700 within the Energy Services Group. The remaining reductions
will be completed in 1999 as projects are completed and facilities are closed.
         As a result of the Merger and the industry downturn,  the Company plans
to vacate,  sell or close over 400  service,  manufacturing  and  administrative
facilities  throughout the world. Until the properties  included in the facility
consolidation  charges are  vacated,  the Company  plans to continue  its normal
depreciation,  lease costs and operating  expenses which will be charged against
the Company's results of operations. The majority of these facilities are within
the Energy Services Group. In accordance with the facility  consolidation plans,
during the first quarter the Company began closing  manufacturing  facilities in
Longview and Duncanville, Texas. Through March 31, 1999, the Company has sold or
returned to the owner 120 service and administrative facilities. As of March 31,
1999,  the  Company had 163  additional  vacated  properties  which it is in the
process of selling,  subleasing or returning to the owner. To date, the majority
of the sold, returned or vacated properties are located within North America.
         Halliburton  and  Dresser  merger  transaction  costs  amounted  to $64
million.  As of March 31, 1999, $1 million in estimated merger transaction costs
for professional  services related to the sale of Halliburton's LWD/MWD business
remain to be paid. See Note 3.
         Other charges of $46 million include the estimated  contract exit costs
associated  with the  elimination  of duplicate  agents and suppliers in various
countries  throughout the world.  The remaining  balance will be utilized during
1999 in  connection  with the  Company's  renegotiation  of  agency  agreements,
contracts and elimination of other duplicate capabilities.

Note 10. Change in Accounting Method
         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)."  This  Statement   requires  costs  of  start-up   activities  and
organization  costs to be expensed  as  incurred.  The Company  adopted SOP 98-5
effective  January 1, 1999 and  recorded  expense  of $30  million  pretax  ($19
million after tax or $0.04 per diluted share).  These costs, which relate to the
Energy  Services Group  segment,  were  recognized  for  previously  capitalized
business  mobilization  costs and facility  start-up costs associated with a new
manufacturing facility in the U.K.

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

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
         The Company  operates in over 120 countries around the world to provide
a variety of energy services,  energy equipment 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.
         The  majority of the  Company's  revenues  are derived from the sale of
services  and  products,   including  construction  activities,  to  the  energy
industry.  The Company offers a  comprehensive  range of integrated and discrete
services  and  products  as well as project  management  for oil and natural gas
activities throughout the world.
         Declines in energy  industry  activities that started in 1998 continued
during the first quarter of 1999,  particularly  in the areas of exploration and
development of hydrocarbons. The average worldwide rotary rig count in the first
quarter of 1999 was 35% lower than in the first  quarter  of 1998.  The  average
U.S. rotary rig count in the first quarter of 1999 was 43% lower compared to the
first quarter of 1998 and continued to decline into the second  quarter of 1999.
These  declines  in  activity  and reduced  capital  spending  by the  Company's
customers   negatively   impacted  the   Company's   results  for  the  quarter,
particularly within the Energy Services Group segment.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         The  downstream  oil and gas  business  which is  serviced  by both the
Engineering and Construction  Group and the Dresser Equipment Group segments was
not as severely  affected by the industry downturn due to the longer term nature
of projects and continuing maintenance requirements.  Both of these two segments
also benefitted from activities unrelated to the energy industry.
         Other  major  changes  in the energy  industry  include  the  announced
integration  of several major oil companies  that have further  delayed  capital
spending  programs.  The integrations may identify excess capacity in some areas
which could affect the markets for some of the Company's  products and services.
The Company has seen some effect of these  integrations  in the first quarter of
1999 resulting in delayed projects and reduced use of software products.  Longer
term effects will depend on the results of  rationalization  efforts on the part
of the Company's customers.
         Management  still believes in the long-term  fundamentals of the energy
industry  and that  steadily  rising  population  and greater  industrialization
efforts  will  continue to propel  global  growth,  particularly  in  developing
nations,  and these factors will cause increasing demand for oil and natural gas
to supply growing needs for refined  products,  petrochemicals,  fertilizers and
power.

</TABLE>
         Consolidated  revenues  decreased  8% to  $3,924  million  in the first
quarter of 1999  compared  with $4,255  million in the same quarter of the prior
year. International revenues for the first quarter were 66% of total revenue for
both 1998 and 1999.
         Energy  Services  Group  revenues  were  $1,753  million  for the first
quarter of 1999  reflecting  a 23%  decrease  from the same quarter of the prior
year while  drilling  activity  as measured  by the  worldwide  rotary rig count
decreased 35%.  International  revenues were 72% of total Energy  Services Group
revenues for the quarter  compared to 70% for the prior year  quarter.  Revenues
for pressure  pumping,  completion,  logging,  drill bits,  drilling systems and
fluids  product  service  lines were lower than the prior year in  domestic  and
international  regions.  The largest  declines in revenues were in North America
and Latin America.  Declines in revenue  reflect  reduced unit volume levels and
continued pricing pressures, particularly in North America.
         Revenues  from  upstream  oil  and  gas  engineering  and  construction
services  decreased  18% from the same period of the prior year  reflecting  the
market  downturn in activity  caused by low oil prices.  The U.K.  sector of the
North Sea was  particularly  impacted by the reduced  activity  levels.  Revenue
decreases  include  the  effects of higher  gainshares  and a larger than normal
amount of passthrough revenues in the first quarter of 1998.
         Revenues from integrated exploration and production information systems
decreased 12% compared to the first  quarter of 1998.  Decreases in software and
hardware sales were partially  offset by increased  customer  service  revenues.
Many customers for the Company's  information  system product lines have put off
software  purchases  due to lower  activity  levels  in the  industry.  Customer
consolidations have also resulted in purchase delays.
         Engineering and Construction Group revenues increased to $1,508 million
in the first quarter of 1999  compared to $1,347  million in the same quarter of
the prior year. Revenues increased 12% due to active projects in Algeria, Norway
and Nigeria,  increased  activities at the Devonport  Dockyard in the U.K.,  and
logistics  support  services to military  peacekeeping  efforts in the  Balkans.
Revenue  increases  in  liquefied  natural  gas (LNG),  olefins  and oil and gas
projects  were offset by lower  revenues  from  fertilizer  and  refinery  plant
engineering, procurement and construction contracts.  Mining and forest products
activity continue to be depressed.

         Dresser  Equipment Group revenues  increased 6% to $663 million for the
first quarter of 1999 as compared to $623 million for the first quarter of 1998.
The  compression  and pumping  product line reported  stronger  revenues for the
current  quarter compared to the first quarter of 1998 with higher  revenues for
original equipment manufactured items,  aftermarket  and  services.  The largest
revenue  gains  for  this product line were experienced in Europe.  Measurement,
flow control, and power systems revenues were lower  than the prior  year  first
quarter.

</TABLE>

         Consolidated  operating  income  for the first  quarter of 1999 of $152
million declined 58% compared with $361 million in the same quarter of the prior
year.
         Energy Services Group operating  income decreased 80% to $57 million in
the first  quarter of 1999 compared with $283 million in the same quarter of the
prior year. The operating margin for the first quarter of 1999 was 3.2% compared
to the  prior  year  first  quarter  operating  margin  of  12.4%.  In  spite of
significant  cost reduction  efforts to reduce excess  personnel and consolidate
facilities,  the pressure pumping,  completion,  logging,  drill bits,  drilling
systems and fluids  product  service lines were  impacted by lower  activity and
higher  discounts.  Operating  income from upstream oil and gas  engineering and
construction  activities declined  significantly due to lower levels of business
activity and lower  manufacturing  activity  which carry large fixed  costs.  In
addition,  the prior year quarter  benefitted  from a higher level of gainshares
which were not experienced in 1999.
         Engineering and Construction  Group operating income decreased slightly
to $58 million in the first quarter of 1999 compared to $59 million in the first
quarter of the prior year.  Operating  margins were 3.8% in the first quarter of
1999  compared  to  4.4% in the  prior  year  first  quarter.  Operating  income
increased  over  the  prior  year  quarter  from  engineering,  procurement  and
construction contracts,  offset by lower activity levels in Asia Pacific and the
building  construction  business.  The prior year first  quarter  included  some
favorable resolutions on completed jobs.
         Dresser  Equipment Group operating income for the first quarter was $54
million,  an increase of 38% over the prior year first  quarter of $39  million.
The increase in operating income was due to a combination of factors  including:
the results of cost control measures;  change in product mix; and the effects of
re-aligning the businesses to current  industry  conditions,  including  reduced
capacity and reduced headcount levels.  The compression and pumping product line
reported the largest increase in operating income within the group.

NONOPERATING ITEMS
         Interest expense  increased to $36 million in the first quarter of 1999
compared to $30 million in the same  quarter of the prior year due  primarily to
increased short-term borrowings.
         Interest  income in the first quarter of 1999  increased to $32 million
from $7 million in the first quarter of 1998  primarily due to imputed  interest
income on the note  receivable  from the sale of the  Company's  interest in M-I
L.L.C.  and interest  earned on  settlement of income tax issues in the U.S. and
U.K.
         The effective income tax rate increased to 40% for the first quarter of
1999 from 37.7% for the first  quarter  of 1998.  The rate for the  quarter  was
adversely  affected by foreign income taxes and is expected to range between 38%
and 40% for the year of 1999.
         Income before the cumulative  effect of the change in accounting method
was $81 million or 18 cents per diluted share, a decrease of 60% from net income
of $203 million and 46 cents per diluted share in the first quarter of 1998.

<PAGE>

         Cumulative  effect of change in accounting  method of $19 million after
tax or 4 cents per diluted share  reflects the  Company's  adoption of SOP 98-5.
Estimated  annual expense for 1999 under SOP 98-5 after recording the cumulative
effect of the change is not  expected to be  materially  different  from amounts
expensed  under  the  prior  accounting  treatment.  See Note 10 for  additional
information.  Net income for the first  quarter after the  cumulative  effect of
change in accounting method was $62 million or 14 cents per diluted share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
         The Company ended the first  quarter of 1999 with cash and  equivalents
of $419 million, an increase of $216 million from the end of 1998. Higher levels
of cash were due to cash  collections in the last few days of the quarter and to
higher  levels of cash in  consolidated  joint  ventures.  To conform  Dresser's
fiscal year-end to Halliburton's calendar year-end, Dresser's cash flows in 1998
are  measured  from  December  31,  1997,  rather than from the October 31, 1997
balances as reported on the  consolidated  balance  sheets in the Company's 1998
Annual Report.
         Operating  activities.  Cash flows from operating  activities  provided
$174  million in the first three  months of 1999,  as compared to $77 million in
the first  three  months of 1998.  Special  charges  for  personnel  reductions,
facility  closures and integration  costs required  approximately $93 million of
cash in the first three months of the current year.
         Investing  activities.  Capital  expenditures were $143 million for the
first three  months of 1999, a decrease of 37% over the same period of the prior
year. The decrease in capital spending  primarily reflects the current operating
environment.  Capital spending was mostly for equipment and  infrastructure  for
the Energy Services Group. The Company also continued its planned investments in
its enterprise-wide information system.
         Financing  activities.  Cash flows from financing  activities were $147
million in the first three months of 1999  compared to cash flows of $62 million
in the first three  months of 1998.  The Company  borrowed  $194  million net of
repayments in short-term  funds consisting of commercial paper and bank loans in
the first three months of 1999.  In the first three months of 1998,  the Company
borrowed  $122  million in  short-term  funds net of  repayments  consisting  of
commercial  paper and bank  loans.  Proceeds  from  exercises  of stock  options
provided cash flows of $14 million in the first three months of 1999 compared to
$30 million in the same period of the prior year.
         The Company believes it has sufficient  borrowing  capacity to fund its
working capital  requirements and investing  activities.  The Company's combined
short-term notes payable and long-term debt was 34.5% of total capitalization at
March 31, 1999 compared to 32.4% at December 31, 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  cash  flows  related  to sales or
purchases of goods or services from fluctuations in currency rates.  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 purposes.
         The Company uses a  statistical  model to estimate the  potential  loss
related to derivative  instruments  used to hedge the market risk of its foreign
exchange exposure.  The model utilizes  historical price and volatility patterns
to estimate the change in value of the derivative  instruments which could occur
from adverse  movements in foreign exchange rates for a specified time period at
a specified confidence interval. The model is an undiversified calculation based
on the  variance-covariance  statistical  modeling  technique  and  includes all
foreign  exchange  derivative  instruments  outstanding  at March 31, 1999.  The
resulting value at risk of $3.7 million estimates with a 95% confidence interval
the  potential  loss the Company  could incur in a one-day  period from  foreign
exchange derivative instruments due to adverse foreign exchange rate changes.
         The  Company's  interest  rate  exposures  at March  31,  1999 were not
materially changed from December 31, 1998.

1998 SPECIAL CHARGES
         The Company  expects to utilize the remaining  special charge  reserves
during 1999 with the exception of unrealized losses on facilities held for sale.
See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information on
accrued  special  charges  incurred in 1998. The Company expects to incur merger
related  incremental costs of approximately  $110 million that do not qualify as
accrued special charges, including $24 million incurred in the fourth quarter of
1998 and  approximately  $14 million  incurred during the first quarter of 1999.
These costs  include  relocating  personnel,  inventory and equipment as part of
facility consolidation  efforts;  implementing a company-wide common information
technology  infrastructure;  merging  engineering  work  practices;  harmonizing
employee  benefit  programs;  and developing  common  policies and procedures to
provide best practices.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
         Some  of  the  Company's  subsidiaries  are  involved  as   potentially
responsible  parties in  remedial  activities  to clean up  several  "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's subsidiaries 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.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES
         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.  The Y2K  issue is a
pervasive  problem  for most  companies due  to the  interdependence of computer
systems.  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,  infrastructure and joint venture
projects.
         Failure to address Y2K issues could result in business  disruption that
could  materially  affect  the  Company's  operations.  In an effort to minimize
business  interruptions,  the  Company  continues  to  develop  and  refine  its
contingency  plans in  the event circumstances  prevent the Company from meeting
any portion of its current program schedule.
         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  chip  technology.  The primary
phases of the program are: (1) inventorying  existing equipment and systems; (2)
assessing 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;  (4) testing to verify Y2K  readiness has been  achieved;
and (5) deploying and certifying.
         At  March  31, 1999,  the  Company  is substantially  complete with its
inventory  and  assessment  phases  of  the  Program;  and is  approximately 70%
complete  with  its  remediation  and  testing  phases  of  the  Program; and is
approximately  50% complete  with its deployment and certification phases of the
Program.
         Overall the Company  estimates  that it is  approximately  65% complete
with  its  Year  2000   Program  and   anticipates   having  its   products  and
mission-critical systems and equipment Y2K ready, tested, certified and deployed
during the third quarter of 1999.  Business continuity plans are being developed
for all parts of the  business  and are also  anticipated  to be complete and in
place by the end of the third  quarter.  The  balance of 1999 will be focused on
any remaining  deployment,  certification,  testing and  implementation  of less
critical items as required, and ensuring that critical business continuity plans
are adequate and ready to implement if necessary.

         Through  March 31,  1999 the  Company has  incurred  approximately  $31
million in costs related to its Year 2000 Program.  The Company  estimates  that
prior to January 1, 2000 it will have spent approximately $50 million to address
the Y2K issue.  These  estimates  do not include the costs  associated  with the
Company initiatives discussed below. Costs associated with the Year 2000 Program
are being treated as period costs and expensed as incurred.
         Independent  of, but  concurrent  with,  the Company's Y2K review,  the
Company is installing an  enterprise-wide  business  information system which is
scheduled  to replace some of the  Company's  key  finance,  administrative  and
marketing software systems by the end of 1999 and is Y2K ready. In addition, and
as a  separate  activity,  the  Company  is in  the  process  of  replacing  and
standardizing  its desktop  computing  equipment  and  software and updating its
communications  infrastructure.  A third  party is updating  the  communications
infrastructure. The replacement of desktop equipment and software is an internal
program  based  on  the Company's  common  office  environment  initiative.  All
hardware and software installed as a part of these programs are Y2K ready.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
         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
         As  provided by the safe harbor  provisions  of the Private  Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995,  Halliburton 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 Halliburton Company's  actual  results  of  operations.   While  such
forward-looking  information reflects Halliburton Company's best judgement 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, Halliburton Company continues to face many risks and uncertainties that
could  cause  actual  results to differ  from those  forward-looking  statements
including:

         o  litigation,   including,  for  example,  asbestosis  litigation  and
            environmental litigation;
         o  unsettled political conditions, war, civil unrest, currency controls
            and  governmental  actions in  the  numerous  countries  Halliburton
            Company conducts operations;
         o  trade restrictions  and  economic  embargoes  imposed  by the United
            States and other countries;
         o  environmental   laws,   including   those   that   require  emission
            performance standards for new and existing facilities;
         o  the magnitude of governmental  spending for military  and logistical
            support of the type provided by Halliburton Company;
         o  operations  in countries with significant amounts of political risk,
            including, without limitation, Russia, Algeria and Nigeria;
         o  the effects of  severe weather  conditions, such as  hurricanes  and
            tornadoes, on operations and facilities;
         o  the impact  of prolonged mild  weather conditions on  the demand for
            and price of oil and natural gas;
         o  technological  and structural  changes in  the industries  served by
            Halliburton Company;
         o  consolidation of customers in the oil and gas industry;
         o  computer  software  and  hardware  and  other  equipment   utilizing
            computer  technology  used   by  governmental   entities,    service
            providers, vendors, customers  and Halliburton Company which  may be
            impacted by the Y2K issue;
         o  integration  of  acquired  businesses, including Dresser Industries,
            Inc. and its subsidiaries, into Halliburton Company;


                                       15

         o  the risk  inherent in  the use of derivative instruments of the sort
            used by Halliburton Company  which could  cause a change in value of
            the  derivative  instruments  as a result  of adverse  movements  in
            foreign exchange rates;
         o  changes in the price of oil and natural gas;
         o  changes  in  the  price  of commodity  chemicals used by Halliburton
            Company;
         o  changes  in   capital  spending  by  customers  in  the  hydrocarbon
            industry  for  exploration,  development,  production,   processing,
            refining and pipeline delivery networks;
         o  increased  competition in  the hiring  and retention of employees in
            certain areas;
         o  changes in capital spending by  customers in the wood pulp and paper
            industries for plants and equipment;
         o  risks  that  result  from  entering   into  fixed  fee  engineering,
            procurement  and  construction  projects  of the types  provided  by
            Halliburton Company where failure to meet schedules,  cost estimates
            or performance targets could result in non-reimbursable costs  which
            cause the project not to meet expected profit margins; and
         o  changes  in  capital  spending  by  governments  for  infrastructure
            projects of the sort performed by Halliburton Company.

         In  addition,   future  trends  for  pricing,   margins,  revenues  and
profitability   remain  difficult  to  predict  in  the  industries   served  by
Halliburton Company.
