Contents Halliburton Today Letter to Shareholders Operations Overview 2 6 Financial Information 17 Corporate Information 129 The Energy Services Group (ESG) offers the broadest array of products to the upstream petroleum industry worldwide. These services include decision support services for locating hydrocarbons and managing digital data; creation and evaluation of the wellbore; creation of infrastructure to move hydrocarbons; and optimization of hydrocarbon production. KBR, the Engineering and Construction Group, serves the energy industry by designing, building and providing operations and maintenance services for liquefied natural gas plants, refining and processing plants, production facilities and pipelines both onshore and offshore. The non-energy business of the group meets the engineering, construction and services needs of governments and civil infrastructure customers. Everywhere we look we see a world in transition. Geographies are being redrawn. Boundaries are dissolving. Our world is linked in ways we previously could not have imagined. As companies find themselves competing in a global marketplace, the old business rules no longer apply. For an 84-year-old company, change is nothing new. But as we look back on 2003, the transitions we have experienced have been truly profound. Major challenges to our business are close to resolution. The Energy Services Group (ESG) and KBR, our Engineering and Construction Group, have transformed their businesses. At all levels of our Company, we have set the systems in motion to unleash our enormous potential. This is the story of a year of transition and the beginning of our journey toward a sustainable future. L E T T E R T O S H A R E H O L D E R S Dear Fellow Shareholders Halliburton was started in 1919 in the oil fields of Texas by one man with a homemade cement mixer and a borrowed pump. Today, we are a world leader in oilfield services, engineering and construction, with over 100,000 employees and operations in more than 100 countries. Throughout the course and Production Optimization – the ESG maintains a leading presence. About 75 percent of its revenues are being generated from product lines where it holds a No. 1 or No. 2 market share.

In just four years, Halliburton de Mexico has become a shining success story and an example of how to build a sustainable business. Lesson 1: Align your business with your customer’s objectives. Halliburton has worked in Mexico since 1939, providing oilfield services to the national oil company Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex. Since 1999, Halliburton managers have approached the business differently: in addition to discrete services, they would provide solutions to Pemex’s business challenges. It took time to build trust, but the strategy has worked. Engineers of Halliburton’s product lines now meet with Pemex to plan jobs and put together solutions to achieve performance goals. Together, the two companies have introduced advanced technology – the Sigma process, MRIL Prime, and the world’s first certified stimulation boat, the Cape Hawke – that have significantly increased reservoir and other performance. Service quality has improved, along with customer satisfaction. With Pemex beginning an aggressive program to produce natural gas, the company recently signed a five-year contract with Landmark for software and consulting services, the largest contract Landmark has signed with a single client. Lesson 2: Be relentless in pursuit of HSE performance. Leave each place you work as good as, or better than, you found it. That’s Halliburton’s motto, beginning with its own operations. Facilities are clean and well-maintained. Uniforms are neat and pressed. It’s obvious that employees are proud of where they work. And they are just as meticulous when it comes to meeting safety and environmental standards. Each employee is given extensive HSE training that’s reinforced with an active Performance Improvement Initiative. Halliburton also has a strong commitment to the environment. Residues and spills, even as small as a liter of oil, are handled according to Company and Mexican regulations. In 2003, Halliburton’s Ciudad del Carmen base was awarded a clean industry certification from the Mexican government, the first in the oil services industry to achieve this designation. The Company used this opportunity to sponsor Expo Halliburton 2003 in Ciudad del Carmen. University students, high school students, city and state government officials, and client representatives were invited to the three-day event, which featured presentations on environmental issues in hopes of sharing knowledge and improving community environmental standards. Doing right by our customers Much of the technology that we produce, especially Doing the right thing for our customers means in Landmark, is designed to take the guesswork out being the company to which our customers look to of exploration and reservoir development.

Doing right Utilizing Geo-Pilot® point-the-bit rotary steerable technology with SlickBore®, we can drill complex well trajectories with pinpoint accuracy and reduce drilling time by as much as 30 percent.

That means we must improve recovery from known reserves where the current average global rate of recovery is only about 35 percent.” by our people means making a commit- ment to create a well-trained, educated, energetic and engaged workforce in every country in which we work. In the old way of thinking, many companies working internationally would import competency into other countries and use nationals for jobs that didn’t require skills and certainly didn’t create them. That approach simply doesn’t work 9 anymore. These days, our customers’ customers, the national oil companies and their governments, want much more than oil revenues. They want the very real benefits that oil and gas development can provide – jobs, “The ESG has already come a long way toward developing a localized workforce. and quality standards that give them entry into the global marketplace.

Halliburton is partnering with local suppliers to implement HSE 10 Lesson 3: Give back to the community that has given to you. Halliburton de Mexico was incorporated in 1956 as a Mexican company. Today, approximately 95 percent of the 1200-person workforce, including managers, is Mexican. The community considers Halliburton one of its own and the Company honors that trust. Giving back to the community is a Halliburton way of life. Halliburton’s safety and driver training programs have become local mainstays, teaching family members and neighbors to drive responsibly and avoid accidents. In 2003, after only a year, Halliburton’s workforce made the Company the No. 1 contributor per capita to Mexico’s United Way. Over 70 percent of workers contributed; the goal is 100 percent. But the programs closest to employees’ hearts are the ones in their communities that they manage and fund. Some employees raise money for schools and homes for the elderly. Others sponsor a school for special education and provide maintenance, repairs and mentoring in a local orphanage. For Halliburton de Mexico’s volunteers, these are more than just community projects. Reaching out to their neighbors is simply the right thing to do. KBR We Deliver. Iraq, where we’re working to restore oil production, is our biggest challenge.

It’s a remote place in a nation that happens to be sitting on the world’s tenth-largest proven gas reserves. Since we arrived here in 1996 with a consortium to build the Nigeria LNG plant, there have been changes. The island currently has over 100,000 residents. Streets are busy with automobiles, taxis and motorcycles. Now beginning the fourth and fifth train expansions, KBR has worked closely with Nigeria LNG to make sure our community relations meet long-term needs. We’ve created a crafts school – probably the best in the country. We’ve trained 2,100 workers in crafts and computer skills, with plans to train up to 3,000 more. We’ve built and repaired roads, brought in clean water, sponsored immunization programs, donated schoolbooks, conducted health classes and disease control programs. The project is helping Nigeria harness its gas reserves and reduce gas flaring, as well as providing opportunity for its people. Bonny Island’s future is looking bright. Restoring Hope: The Middle East. Almost everything we do in the Middle East is on a massive scale. We support 185,000 Coalition soldiers in some 98 locations. We build camps, service equipment, transport fuel, deliver mail, do laundry, cook meals and serve them – several hundred thousand meals a day in more than 50 dining facilities. We’re also working with the Iraqi Oil Ministry to increase production and restore the delivery system. As we carry out all of this complicated and challenging work, KBR understands and respects the fact that our contracts are subject to oversight and accountability. We have put people and processes in place to assure internal accountability and that funds are spent wisely, with taxpayers receiving full value. Any way you look at it, what KBR is doing in the Middle East is the model for our business future. It is services, pure and simple, and we provide a lot of them in one of the most dangerous places anywhere. KBR has a strong brand name in the Middle East, and both M.W. Kellogg and Brown & Root have a long history here. When workers arrived in the southern Iraq oil fields earlier this year, they spotted an older Iraqi man wearing a worn Brown & Root cap from the 1970s. “Are you going to help us start our oil business up again?” he asked the KBR foreman. “And will you have training programs like when I was a young man? I have a son who’s 18 now and I want you to teach him.” From one generation to another, KBR is working with its community partners to deliver hope and self-sufficiency to this land. cooperative contractual environment that balances Delivering a vital and motivated workforce risk and reward.

Certain of these letters of credit have triggering events (such as the filing of Chapter 11 proceedings by some of our subsidiaries or reductions in our credit ratings) that would allow the banks to require cash collateralization or allow the holder to draw upon the letter of credit. In the fourth quarter of 2003, we entered into a senior secured master letter of credit facility (Master LC Facility) with a syndicate of banks which covers at least 90% of the face amount of our existing letters of credit. Under the Master LC Facility, each participating bank has permanently waived any right that it had to demand cash collateral as a result of the filing of Chapter 11 proceedings. In addition, the Master LC Facility provides for the issuance of new letters of credit, so long as the total facility does not exceed an amount equal to the amount of the facility at closing plus $250 million, or approximately $1.5 billion. The purpose of the Master LC Facility is to provide an advance for letter of credit draws, if any, as well as to provide collateral for the reimbursement obligations for the letters of credit. Advances under the Master LC Facility will remain available until the earlier of June 30, 2004 or when an order confirming the proposed plan of reorganization becomes final and non-appealable. At that time, all advances outstanding under the Master LC Facility, if any, will become term loans payable in full on November 1, 2004, and all other letters of credit shall cease to be subject to the terms of the Master LC Facility. As of December 31, 2003, there were no outstanding advances under the Master LC Facility. We currently operate in over 100 countries throughout the world, providing a comprehensive range of discrete and integrated products and services to the energy industry and to other industrial and governmental customers. The majority of our consolidated revenues are derived from the sale of services and products, including engineering and construction activities. We sell services and products primarily to major, national and independent oil and gas companies and the United States government. These products and services are used throughout the energy industry from the earliest phases of exploration, development and production of oil and gas resources through refining, processing and marketing. Our five business segments are organized around how we manage the business: Drilling and Formation Evaluation, Fluids, Production Optimization, Landmark and Other Energy Services, and the Engineering and Construction Group. We sometimes refer to the combination of Drilling and Formation Evaluation, Fluids, Production Optimization, and Landmark and Other Energy Services segments as the Energy Services Group. The industries we serve are highly competitive, with many substantial competitors for each segment. In 2003, based upon the location of the services provided and products sold, 27% of our total revenue was from the United States and 15% was from Iraq. In 2002, 33% of our total revenue was from the United States and 12% of our total revenue was from the United Kingdom. No other country accounted for more than 10% of our revenues during these periods. Unsettled political condi- tions, social unrest, acts of terrorism, force majeure, war or other armed conflict, expropriation or other governmental actions, inflation, exchange controls or currency devaluation may result in increased business risk in any one country. We believe the geographic diversification of our business activities reduces the 30 risk that loss of business in any international country would be Our customers’ cash flow, in many instances, depends upon material to our consolidated results of operations. the revenue they generate from sale of oil and gas. With higher Hallibur ton Company Activity levels within our business segments are significantly impacted by the following: - spending on upstream exploration, development and prices, they may have more cash flow, which usually translates into higher exploration and production budgets. Higher prices may also mean that oil and gas exploration in marginal areas can become attractive, so our customers may consider investing in production programs by major, national and independent oil such properties when prices are high. When this occurs, it and gas companies; means more potential work for us. The opposite is true for lower - capital expenditures for downstream refining, processing, oil and gas prices. petrochemical and marketing facilities by major, national and The expectation in 2003 was that world oil prices would begin to somewhat soften, but prices have continued to increase. United States oil prices continued to increase due to low inventory levels as a result of Iraqi crude oil production still being below pre-war levels and higher natural gas prices adding pressure to switch to competing heating fuel oils. Natural gas demand showed a decline in 2003 largely due to high prices discouraging demand in the industrial and electric power sectors. However, expected growth in the economy, along with somewhat lower projected annual average prices, are expected to increase demand by two percent in 2004. Natural gas production slightly increased in 2003, but is expected to fall back somewhat in 2004 as drilling intensity declines. In 2004, the projected supply gap between demand and production is offset by the expectation that storage injection requirements will be less than those in 2003, when stocks after the winter of 2002- 2003 were at record lows. independent oil and gas companies; and - government spending levels. Also impacting our activity is the status of the global economy, which indirectly impacts oil and gas consumption, demand for petrochemical products and investment in infrastructure projects. Energy Ser vices Group Some of the more significant barometers of current and future spending levels of oil and gas companies are oil and gas prices, exploration and production expenditures by international and national oil companies, the world economy and global stability, which together drive worldwide drilling activity. Our Energy Services Group financial performance is significantly affected by oil and gas prices and worldwide rig activity which are summa- rized in the following tables. This table shows the average oil and gas prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil and Henry Hub natural gas prices: Average Oil and Gas Prices 2003 2002 2001 West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices (dollars per barrel) $31.14 $25.92 $26.02 Henry Hub gas prices (dollars per million cubic feet) $ 5.63 $ 3.33 $ 4.07 31 The yearly average rig counts based on the Baker Hughes periods of reduced activity, discounts normally increase, Incorporated rig count information are as follows: reducing the net revenue for our services and conversely, during Average Rig Counts Land vs. Offshore United States: Land Offshore Total Canada: Land Offshore Total International (excluding Canada): Land Offshore Total Worldwide total Land total Offshore total Average Rig Counts Oil vs. Gas United States: Oil Gas Total Canada:* International (excluding Canada): Oil Gas Total 2003 2002 2001 periods of higher activity, discounts normally decline resulting 924 108 1,032 368 4 372 544 226 770 2,174 1,836 338 718 113 831 260 6 266 507 225 732 1,829 1,485 344 1,002 153 1,155 337 5 342 525 220 745 2,242 1,864 378 in net revenue increasing for our services. The United States rig count increase in 2003 was primarily in gas drilling as gas prices remained high and operators continued to build gas storage levels before the 2003/2004 winter heating season. The overall increased North American rig count is being driven by higher oil and gas prices and demand for natural gas to replace working gas in storage for the 2003/2004 winter heating season.

For 2003, high commodity prices resulted in improved activity levels, with average global rig counts up 19%. 2003 2002 2001 Nonetheless, reduced reinvestment rates by our customers meant 157 875 1,032 372 576 194 770 137 694 831 266 561 171 732 217 938 1,155 342 571 174 745 Worldwide total 2,174 1,829 2,242 * Canadian rig counts by oil and gas were not available. Most of our work in Energy Services Group closely tracks the number of active rigs. As rig count increases or decreases, so does the total available market for our services and products. Further, our margins associated with services and products for offshore rigs are generally higher than those associated with land rigs. It is common practice in the United States oilfield services industry to sell services and products based on a price book and then apply discounts to the price book based upon a variety of factors. The discounts applied typically increase to partially or substantially offset price book increases in the weeks immedi- ately following a price increase. The discount applied normally decreases over time if the activity levels remain strong. During 32 that overall activity growth and offshore activity in particular failed to meet broader expectations of the market. The Energy Services Group experienced strong performance in Canada, the Middle East and Latin America in 2003. Mexico’s performance was particularly strong as operating income there more than doubled. The Gulf of Mexico was an overall disappointment. The industry experienced a five percent year-over-year decline in the offshore Gulf of Mexico rig count and a reduction in deep water activity with a number of our key customers. As a result, we have started the process of reducing our cost structure in the Gulf of Mexico region and are refocusing our efforts towards more successful new products. Equally important, we have redeployed a number of people and assets to higher growth regions internationally, including Latin America and Asia. Our Drilling and Formation Evaluation segment saw excellent performance in logging, but our drilling services performance was adversely affected in the second half of the year by downturns of activity in the Gulf of Mexico and the United Kingdom sector of the North Sea.

The signing of contracts for national data centers with the governments of Nigeria and Indonesia reinforces the successes we have had with national oil companies and their governments over the last few years, and is something we wish to build upon in 2004. Together with the data centers in Pakistan, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Norway, Australia, Canada and Houston, as well as the recent selection of Landmark as an operator of the Kazakhstan National Data Bank, we believe Halliburton is emerging as the clear leader for data center technology. We have also reexamined various joint ventures and recently announced an agreement to restructure two significant joint ventures with Shell, WellDynamics B.V. (an intelligent well Our Engineering and Construction Group, operating as KBR, provides a wide range of services to energy and industrial customers and government entities worldwide. Engineering and construction projects are generally longer term in nature than our Energy Services Group work and are impacted by more diverse drivers than short-term fluctuations in oil and gas prices. Our government services opportunities are strong in the Middle East, United States, United Kingdom and Australia. Spending on defense and security programs has been increasing in each of the major markets. These include support to military forces, security assessments and upgrades at military and government facilities, and disaster and contingency relief at home and abroad.

In return, we received significantly enhanced marketing and distribution rights for sand screens and liner hangers, which we believe are central to our business and offer major opportunities for profitable growth. In a similar strategic vein, we believe the majority stake we will secure in WellDynamics is better aligned The drive to monetize gas reserves in the Middle East, West Africa, Asia Pacific, Eurasia and Latin America, combined with strong demand for gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the United States, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and India, has led to numerous gas to liquid, LNG liquefaction and gas development projects in the exporting regions as well as onshore or floating LNG terminals, and gas processing plants in the importing with the core “Real Time Knowledge” strategy of our company. countries.

Accordingly, we determined to not pursue those types of projects in the future. We have six fixed-price EPIC offshore projects underway, and we are fully committed to successful completion of these projects, several of which are substantially complete. The reshaping of our offshore business away from lump-sum EPIC contracts to cost reimbursement services has been marked by some significant new work. During the first quarter of 2004 we signed a major reimbursable engineering, procurement and construction management, or EPCM, contract for a West African oilfield development. This is a major award under our new EPCM strategy. We are also pursuing program management opportunities in deep-water locations around the world. These efforts, implemented under our new strategy, are allowing us to utilize our global resources to continue to be a leader in the offshore business. 35 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS IN 2003 COMPARED TO 2002 REVENUES: Millions of dollars Drilling and Formation Evaluation Fluids Production Optimization Landmark and Other Energy Services Total Energy Services Group Engineering and Construction Group Total revenues Geographic – Energy Services Group segments only: Drilling and Formation Evaluation: North America Latin America Europe/Africa Middle East/Asia Subtotal Fluids: North America Latin America Europe/Africa Middle East/Asia Subtotal Production Optimization: North America Latin America Europe/Africa Middle East/Asia Subtotal Landmark and Other Energy Services: North America Latin America Europe/Africa Middle East/Asia Subtotal Total Energy Services Group revenues 2003 $ 1,643 2,039 2,766 547 6,995 9,276 $16,271 $ 558 261 312 512 1,643 990 258 452 339 2,039 1,345 317 562 542 2,766 192 71 116 168 547 $ 6,995 2002 $ 1,633 1,815 2,554 834 6,836 5,736 $12,572 $ 549 251 344 489 1,633 934 216 381 284 1,815 1,264 277 556 457 2,554 284 102 297 151 834 $ 6,836 Increase/ (Decrease) $ 10 224 212 (287) 159 3,540 $3,699 $ 9 10 (32) 23 10 56 42 71 55 224 81 40 6 85 212 (92) (31) (181) 17 (287) $ 159 Percentage Change 0.6% 12.3 8.3 (34.4) 2.3 61.7 29.4% 1.6% 4.0 (9.3) 4.7 0.6 6.0 19.4 18.6 19.4 12.3 6.4 14.4 1.1 18.6 8.3 (32.4) (30.4) (60.9) 11.3 (34.4) 2.3% 36 OPERATING INCOME (LOSS): Millions of dollars Drilling and Formation Evaluation Fluids Production Optimization Landmark and Other Energy Services Total Energy Services Group Engineering and Construction Group General corporate Operating income (loss) Geographic – Energy Services Group segments only: Drilling and Formation Evaluation: North America Latin America Europe/Africa Middle East/Asia Subtotal Fluids: North America Latin America Europe/Africa Middle East/Asia Subtotal Production Optimization: North America Latin America Europe/Africa Middle East/Asia Subtotal Landmark and Other Energy Services: North America Latin America Europe/Africa Middle East/Asia Subtotal Total Energy Services Group operating income NM - Not Meaningful 2003 $ 177 251 421 (23) 826 (36) (70) $ 720 $ 60 30 30 57 177 104 52 48 47 251 202 75 52 92 421 (60) 8 17 12 (23) $ 826 2002 $ 160 202 384 (108) 638 (685) (65) $ (112) $ 70 29 (6) 67 160 119 33 20 30 202 228 41 46 69 384 (218) 5 118 (13) (108) $ 638 Increase/ (Decrease) $ 17 49 37 85 188 649 (5) $832 $ (10) 1 36 (10) 17 (15) 19 28 17 49 (26) 34 6 23 37 158 3 (101) 25 85 $188 Percentage Change 10.6% 24.3 9.6 78.7 29.5 94.7 (7.7) NM (14.3)% 3.4 NM (14.9) 10.6 (12.6) 57.6 140.0 56.7 24.3 (11.4) 82.9 13.0 33.3 9.6 72.5 60.0 (85.6) NM 78.7 29.5% 37 The increase in consolidated revenues for 2003 compared increased $34 million compared to 2002 as contracts that were to 2002 was largely attributable to activity in our government expiring were more than offset by new contracts, primarily in services projects, primarily work in the Middle East.

Net loss for 2002 was $998 million, or $2.31 per diluted share. Net income for 2001 was $809 million, or $1.88 per diluted share. Percentage of completion We account for our revenues on long-term engineering and construction contracts on the percentage-of-completion method. This method of accounting requires us to calculate job profit to be recognized in each reporting period for each job based upon our predictions of future outcomes which include: - estimates of the total cost to complete the project; - estimates of project schedule and completion date; - estimates of the percentage the project is complete; and CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - amounts of any probable unapproved claims and change The preparation of financial statements requires the use of orders included in revenues. judgments and estimates.

This process consists of a thorough review of historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, financial condition of our customers, and other factors such as whether the receivables involve retentions or billing disputes. We also consider the economic environment - the value of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. We determine deferred taxes separately for each tax-paying component (an entity or a group of entities that is consolidated for tax purposes) in each tax jurisdiction.

Based on - identifying the types and amounts of existing temporary our review of these factors, we establish or adjust allowances for differences; specific customers and the accounts receivable portfolio as a whole.

We apply the following basic principles in accounting for our income taxes: - a current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year; - a deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards; 47 The valuation allowance recorded on tax benefits arising from asbestos and silica liabilities attributable to displaced foreign tax credits is determined quarterly based on an estimate of the future foreign taxes that would be creditable but for the asbestos and silica liabilities, the tax loss carryforwards that these deductions will generate in the future and future estimated taxable income.

Asbestos and silica insurance recoveries Concurrent with the remeasurement of our asbestos and silica liability due to the pre-packaged Chapter 11 filing, we evaluated the appropriateness of the $2 billion recorded for asbestos and silica insurance recoveries. In doing so, we separately evaluated two types of policies: - policies held by carriers with which we had either settled or which were probable of settling and for which we could reasonably estimate the amount of the settlement; and - other policies. In December 2003 we retained Navigant Consulting (formerly Peterson Consulting), a nationally-recognized consultant in asbestos and silica liability and insurance, to assist us. In conducting their analysis, Navigant Consulting performed the following with respect to both types of policies: Navigant Consulting’s analysis assumed that there will be no recoveries from insolvent carriers and that those carriers which are currently solvent will continue to be solvent throughout the period of the applicable recoveries in the projections. Based on its review, analysis and discussions, Navigant Consulting’s analysis assisted us in making our judgments concerning insurance coverage that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our historical course of dealings with our insurers and the relevant case law to determine the probable insurance recoveries for asbestos liabilities. This analysis included the probable effects of self-insurance features, such as self-insured retentions, policy exclusions, liability caps and the financial status of applicable insurers, and various judicial determinations relevant to the applicable insurance programs. The analysis of Navigant Consulting is based on information provided by us. - reviewed DII Industries’ historical course of dealings with its In January 2004, we reached a comprehensive agreement with insurance companies concerning the payment of asbestos- related claims, including DII Industries’ 15-year litigation and settlement history; - reviewed our insurance coverage policy database containing Equitas to settle our insurance claims against certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s of London, reinsured by Equitas.

Some of the of operations, including risks relating to: insurance carriers of DII Industries and Kellogg Brown & Root Asbestos and Silica Liability Our ability to complete our proposed settlement and plan of reorganization As contemplated by our proposed settlement of asbestos and silica personal injury claims, DII Industries, Kellogg Brown & Root and our other affected subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “debtors”) filed Chapter 11 proceedings on December 16, 2003 in bankruptcy court in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Although the debtors have filed Chapter 11 proceedings and we are proceeding with the proposed settle- ment, completion of the settlement remains subject to several conditions, including the requirements that the bankruptcy court confirm the plan of reorganization and the federal district court affirm such confirmation, and that the bankruptcy court and federal district court orders become final and non-appeal- able. Completion of the proposed settlement is also conditioned on continued availability of financing on terms acceptable to us in order to allow us to fund the cash amounts to be paid in the settlement. There can be no assurance that such conditions will be met. The requirements for a bankruptcy court to approve a plan of reorganization include, among other judicial findings, that: - the plan of reorganization complies with applicable provi- sions of the United States Bankruptcy Code; have filed various motions in and objections to the Chapter 11 proceedings in an attempt to seek dismissal of the Chapter 11 proceedings or to delay the proposed plan of reorganization. The motions and objections filed by the insurance carriers include a request that the court grant the insurers standing in the Chapter 11 proceedings to be heard on a wide range of matters, a motion to dismiss the Chapter 11 proceedings and a motion objecting to the proposed legal representative for future asbestos and silica claimants. On February 11, 2004, the bankruptcy court presiding over the Chapter 11 proceedings issued a ruling holding that the insurance carriers lack standing to bring motions seeking to dismiss the pre-packaged plan of reorganiza- tion and denying standing to the insurance carriers to object to the appointment of the proposed legal representative for future asbestos and silica claimants. Notwithstanding the bankruptcy court ruling, we expect the insurance carriers to object to confirmation of the pre-packaged plan of reorganization. In addition, we believe that these insurance carriers will take additional steps to prevent or delay confirmation of a plan of reorganization, including appealing the rulings of the bankruptcy court, and there can be no assurance that the insurance carriers would not be successful or that such efforts would not result in delays in the reorganization process. There can be no assurance that we will obtain the required judicial approval of the - the debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of proposed plan of reorganization or any revised plan of reorgani- the United States Bankruptcy Code; zation acceptable to us. - the trusts will value and pay similar present and future claims in substantially the same manner; and Effect of inability to complete a plan of reorganization If the currently proposed plan of reorganization is not - the plan of reorganization has been proposed in good faith confirmed by the bankruptcy court and the Chapter 11 and not by any means forbidden by law. proceedings are not dismissed, the debtors could propose an 52 alternative plan of reorganization.

Historically, the markets for oil and gas have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future.

Prices for oil Governmental and Capital Spending and natural gas are subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors that are beyond our control. Any prolonged reduction in oil and natural gas prices will depress the level of exploration, develop- ment and production activity, often reflected as changes in rig counts.

Technical Personnel Many of the services that we provide and the products that we sell are complex and highly engineered and often must perform or be performed in harsh conditions. We believe that our success depends upon our ability to employ and retain technical personnel with the ability to design, utilize and enhance these products and services. In addition, our ability to expand our operations depends in part on our ability to increase our skilled labor force. The demand for skilled workers is high and the supply is limited. A significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of our skilled labor force, increases in the wage rates that we must pay or both. If either of these events were to occur, our cost structure could increase, our margins could decrease and our growth potential could be impaired.

Repercussions of severe weather condi- tions may include: - evacuation of personnel and curtailment of services; - weather related damage to offshore drilling rigs resulting in suspension of operations; - weather related damage to our facilities; - inability to deliver materials to jobsites in accordance with contract schedules; and - loss of productivity. 65 R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y F O R F I N A N C I A L R E P O R T I N G We are responsible for the preparation and integrity of our Internal auditors monitor the operation of the internal control published financial statements.

Long-Ter m Constr uction Contracts Revenues from engineering and construction contracts are reported on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting using measurements of progress toward completion appropriate for the work performed. Commonly used measurements are physical progress, man-hours and costs incurred. Billing practices for engineering and construction projects are governed by the contract terms of each project based upon costs incurred, achievement of milestones or pre-agreed schedules. Billings do not necessarily correlate with revenues recognized 77 N O T E S T O C O N S O L I D A T E D F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. unapproved claims are recorded to the extent of costs incurred Billings in excess of recognized revenues are recorded in and include no profit element.

DII Industries, Kellogg Brown & Root and our other affected subsidiaries filed Chapter 11 proceedings on December 16, 2003 in bankruptcy court in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With the filing of the Chapter 11 proceedings, all asbestos and silica personal injury claims and related lawsuits against Halliburton and our affected subsidiaries have been stayed. See Note 12. Our subsidiaries sought Chapter 11 protection because Sections 524(g) and 105 of the Bankruptcy Code may be used to discharge current and future asbestos and silica personal injury claims against us and our subsidiaries. Upon confirmation of the plan of reorganization, current and future asbestos and silica personal injury claims against us and our affiliates will be channeled into trusts established for the benefit of claimants under Section 524(g) and 105 of the Bankruptcy Code, thus releasing Halliburton and its affiliates from those claims.

The proposed plan of reorganization, which is consistent with the definitive settlement agreements reached with our asbestos and silica personal injury claimants in early 2003, provides that, if and when an order confirming the proposed plan of reorgani- zation becomes final and non-appealable, in addition to the $311 million paid to claimants in December 2003, the following will be contributed to trusts for the benefit of current and future asbestos and silica personal injury claimants: - up to approximately $2.5 billion in cash; - 59.5 million shares of Halliburton common stock (valued at approximately $1.6 billion for accrual purposes using a stock price of $26.17 per share, which is based on the average trading price for the five days immediately prior to and including December 31, 2003); - a one-year non-interest bearing note of $31 million for the benefit of asbestos claimants; - a silica note with an initial payment into a silica trust of $15 million.

In late 2001, DII Industries retained Dr. Francine F. Rabinovitz of Hamilton, Rabinovitz & Alschuler, Inc. to estimate the probable number and value, including defense costs, of unresolved current and future asbestos- and silica- related bodily injury claims asserted against DII Industries and its subsidiaries. Dr. Rabinovitz’s estimates are based on historical data supplied by us and publicly available studies, including annual surveys by the National Institutes of Health concerning the incidence of mesothelioma deaths. In addition, Dr. Rabinovitz used the following assumptions in her estimates: - there will be no legislative or other systemic changes to the tort system; - we will continue to aggressively defend against asbestos claims made against us; - an inflation rate of 3% annually for settlement payments and an inflation rate of 4% annually for defense costs; and - we would receive no relief from our asbestos obligation due to actions taken in the Harbison-Walker Chapter 11 proceedings (see below). In her estimates, Dr. Rabinovitz relied on the source data provided by our management; she did not independently verify the accuracy of the source data. The report took approximately seven months to complete. Dr. Rabinovitz estimated the current and future total undis- counted liability for personal injury asbestos and silica claims through 2052, including defense costs, would be a range between $2.2 billion and $3.5 billion. The lower end of the range was calculated by using an average of the last five years of asbestos claims experience and the upper end of the range was calculated using the more recent two-year elevated rate of 97 asbestos claim filings in projecting the rate of future claims. As a result of reaching an agreement in principle in December of 2002 (which was the basis of the definitive settlement agree- ments entered in early 2003) for the settlement of all of our asbestos and silica claims, we believed it was appropriate to adjust our accrual to use the upper end of the range contained in Dr. Rabinovitz’s study. Therefore in 2002 we recorded a pretax charge of $2.820 billion to increase our asbestos and silica liability to the upper end of the range. Navigant study. In 2002, we retained Navigant Consulting (formerly Peterson Consulting) to work with us to project the amount of insurance recoveries probable at that time. In conducting this analysis, Navigant Consulting used the Rabinovitz Study to project liabilities through 2052 using the two-year elevated rate of asbestos claim filings. The methodology used by Navigant Consulting for that study was consistent with the methodology employed in December 2003. Based on our analysis of the probable insurance recoveries, we recorded a receivable of $1.530 billion. Other insurance matters Harbison-Walker Chapter 11 proceedings. A large portion of our asbestos claims relate to alleged injuries from asbestos used in a small number of products manufactured or sold by Harbison-Walker Refractories Company, whose operations DII Industries acquired in 1967 and spun off in 1992. At the time of the spin-off, Harbison-Walker assumed liability for asbestos claims filed after the spin-off, and it agreed to defend and indemnify DII Industries from liability for those claims, although DII Industries continues to have direct liability to tort claimants for all post spin-off refractory asbestos claims.

The reorganization of subsidiaries facilitated the separation, organizationally and financially, of our business groups, which we believe will significantly improve operating efficiencies in both, while streamlining management and easing manpower requirements. In addition, many support functions, which were previously shared, were moved into the two business groups. As a result, we took actions during 2002 to reduce our cost structure by reducing personnel, moving previously shared support functions into the two business groups and realigning ownership of international subsidiaries by group.

New Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2003 we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated assets’ retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability associated with an asset retirement be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and subsequently depreciated over the life of the asset. The adoption of this standard resulted in a charge of $8 million after tax as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

The Fund’s stated concern was that the Halliburton Board of Directors have actual knowledge of operations conducted in Iran or for Iranian entities by the various worldwide elements of the Company. As the Board is aware, Iran is the subject of special sanctions administered by the U.S. Treasury, through the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control. In general, all “U.S. Persons,” both corporate and individual, are prohibited to enter into transac- tions with Iran or entities working on behalf of Iran, and are further prohibited to “approve or facilitate” transactions by foreign persons. The sanctions leave open however, the possibility for “independent foreign subsidiaries” of U.S. corporations, which are not considered to be “U.S. Persons,” to conduct such business. Many U.S. corporations have foreign subsidiaries active in Iran, including our major competitors. , Halliburton has taken care to isolate its entities that continue to work in Iran from contact with U.S. citizens or managers of U.S. companies, so as to ensure that all work in Iran is under- taken independently, without any facilitation, authorization or approval from U.S. citizen managers. The Board should be assured, however, that the U.S. sanctions do not prohibit them as individuals, or as the Halliburton Company Board of Directors, from having knowledge of the activity there. All of the activities described below have been intensively reviewed by the Law Department for the purpose of determining compliance. The activities are fully compliant with applicable requirements of United States sanctions. For simplicity of understanding, the report is presented in the format of a discussion of the separate activities of each of the foreign subsidiaries involved in Iran. For the most part, the activities of the different companies are quite independent of one another, and there is no coordinated direction of the activity. Hallibur ton Products & Ser vices Limited Principal activity in Iran occurs through the operations of Halliburton Products & Services Limited, a Cayman Islands company headquartered in Dubai, U.A.E. (hereinafter HPSL). HPSL performs between $30 and $40 million annually in oilfield service work in Iran, consisting of cementing, completions work, downhole tools and well testing, stimulation services, PDC drilling bits, coring bits, fluids logging and the provision of drilling fluids. More specifically, revenues for the separate Product Service Lines operated within HPSL are shown in this chart for the completed year 2002 and as projected for 2003. HPSL Business (Unaudited) Completion Products & Services Tools & Testing Production Enhancement Sperry-Sun Drilling Services Security DBS Drill Bits Baroid Drilling Fluids Zonal Isolation (Cementing) Bundled Services TOTALS 2002 $ (000’s) 7,722 3,346 4,763 2003 $ (000’s) 10,274 4,197 4,029 1,060 2,659 4,383 5,190 946 1,690 5,989 8,275 142 $29,265 3,665 $39,065 The operation is profitable, and as shown in the chart, revenues are increasing generally across the board. Customers in Iran include local and international oil companies. All of HPSL’s customers are sound financially, and there is very little risk of non-payment so long as the work is performed correctly. The wells themselves on which HPSL performs services in Iran are all of moderate depths and pressures, and do not present any unique technical challenge. Environmental condi- tions in the Persian Gulf and onshore Iran present little risk. Consequently, there is very little risk of technical failure connected with the operations there. HPSL’s activities are parallel to and competitive with the activities of the foreign affiliates of Schlumberger, Baker-Hughes, Smith International, Weatherford, ABB Vetco Gray, FMC and Cooper-Cameron, as well as those of other U.S. and foreign competitors. The business represents 100% of the revenues of HPSL. Hallibur ton Manufacturing and Ser vices Limited Halliburton Manufacturing and Services Limited, a U.K. corporation headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland, with manufacturing facilities in Arbroath, Scotland, produces (and/or procures) a small array of products to support Halliburton Products & Services Limited operations in Iran. Those products manufactured include cementing tools (floats, shoes and guides – all items which are inserted into the well bore in connection with cementing of the well) and completion products (Packers / Travel joints / Landing nipples / Flow couplings / Crossovers / Pup joints / Lock mandrels / Ratch latches / Specialized flow control components / Couplings / Wire line retrievable safety valves and actuators – all products used to complete the well and regulate the flow of oil or gas during the production phase). The chemicals for Baroid drilling fluids are various additives and basic drilling fluids; these are purchased from several European and other non-U.S. suppliers. 127 I R A N R E P O R T HMSL Business for Iran (Unaudited) Completion Products & Services Baroid Drilling Fluids Cementing Tools TOTALS 2002 $ (000’s) 2,686 53 909 3,648 2003 $ (000’s) 5,168 718 327 6,213 The only sales of these products for Iran by HMSL are to Halliburton Products & Services Limited in Dubai. The figures above are thus essentially duplicated in the revenues of Halliburton Products & Services Limited shown above. Given that these sales are to a sister Halliburton affiliate there is no financial risk of non-payment. All of these products have been manufactured by HMSL since well before the imposition of Iranian sanctions by the U.S. in 1995. The products represent quite standard technology, and there is little technical risk. The business represents only about 1% of the revenues of HMSL. MWKL M.W. Kellogg Limited (hereinafter MWKL), a U.K. corporation headquartered in London, England, is a 55 - 45 joint venture company between KBR and JGC Corporation. MWKL performs occasional engineering work for energy installations in Iran, typically related to oil and gas processing and petrochemical plants. MWKL is currently a subcontractor to an international company to provide engineering services and the license of ammonia technology for the implementation of an ammonia plant in Iran. The total contract value is about $5.4 million, of which about $4.4 million was billed in 2002. Only $28 thousand was billed in 2003. The remaining $1 million is expected to be billed in 2004. Collections to date more than cover the cost of the work billed, and thus there is no financial risk. The technology is well understood, and MWKL does not see any significant technical risk. MWKL has worked as a subcontractor to an international company for the front end design of plants for the conversion of natural gas to liquid fuels for another international company, the first two of which were expected to be built in Iran and Qatar. For basic design package work on the Iranian portion, approxi- mately $7.4 million was billed by MWKL in 2002 and about $3.9 million in 2003. No further work is expected in 2003 or 2004. Collections to date cover the work billed, and thus there is no financial risk. MWKL is working for an international company to provide engineering services, procurement services and a technology license for a proposed ammonia plant in Iran. Heads of Agreement are in place. The total size of the contract is expected to be in the $17 million range. Billings on this contract were about $3.6 million in 2002 and $10 million in 2003. Collections to date cover the cost of the work billed, and thus there is no financial risk. The technology is well understood, and MWKL does not see any significant technical risk. All of the above work has been done by MWKL in the U.K. MWKL has investigated other projects in Iran, but none are active at this time. The business represents approximately 3% of the revenues of MWKL. Granher ne Limited Granherne Limited, a U.K. corporation headquartered in Leatherhead, England, performs limited scope consulting engineering assignments in the U.K. for entities which have potential or actual interests in projects located in sanctioned countries. Such work for Iran for 2002 was approximately $1 million. Work for 2003 declined to just under $500 thousand. 2004 is expected to be similar. All of the work is well within Granherne’s technical expertise. Customers included interna- tional companies. They are large and financially secure entities, and there is no real financial risk associated with the work. The business represents approximately 5% of the revenues of Granherne. GVA Consultants GVA Consultants (GVA), a Swedish corporation headquartered in Goteborg, Sweden, performs engineering work relating to oilfield activity in Iran, typically related to the design of vessels and offshore platform structures. The project currently underway, to perform engineering and design work for a semisubmersible offshore platform being constructed in Iran, was undertaken before GVA’s acquisition by Halliburton Company in the fall of 2001. Revenues for work on this project in 2002 were about $6.6 million. 2003 revenues are expected to be approximately $3.8 million through year end. 2004 revenues are expected to be in the range of $2 million. Work on this project will likely continue at a reduced level into 2005. Collections to date have covered costs, and there are no significant remaining financial risks. The design is a relatively standard one, and there are no unusual technical or engineering risks. A tender was recently submitted by GVA for the design of one or two tanker vessels; if obtained, such additional work would amount to about $2.8 million, assuming the Iranian entity involved chose to take two vessels. No order has been received as of the time of this report. The business represents approximately 15% of the revenues of GVA. Total Revenues in Iran The total revenues from Iran of all Halliburton affiliates represent approximately one-half of one percent of the revenue of Halliburton Company and do not appear to be material to the Company from a revenue or revenue risk perspective.
