ABOUT HALLIBURTON

From Halliburton's website (edited for clarity)

HALLIBURTON AWARDED $175 MILLION CONTRACT BY PEMEX: May 6, 2004 - Halliburton subsidiary Halliburton de Mexico was awarded a 2-year, $175-million contract to drill 27 turnkey wells in Southern Mexico by Petroleos Mexicanos S.A. (Pemex), the state-owned oil company of Mexico. As part of the contract, Halliburton will provide directional drilling, MWD, LWD, drilling mud, bits, cementing, logging, testing, acidizing, coil tubing, and completion services. Parker Drilling will provide the rigs and drilling crews to Halliburton for the project.

KBR PROVIDES ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR SHELL GAS TO LIQUIDS PROJECT IN QATAR: April 26, 2004 - KBR is providing engineering services for the onshore design of a $5 billion Gas to Liquids (GTL) project in Qatar under a Front End Engineering Design (FEED) contract awarded to its joint venture partner JGC Corporation of Japan by Shell Global Solutions.

HALLIBURTON ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT WITH PETROBRAS ON BARRACUDA-CARATINGA PROJECT: April 19, 2004 - Halliburton announced today that its KBR subsidiary has reached an agreement in principle with Petrobras that will resolve outstanding issues regarding the Barracuda-Caratinga project. The agreement in principle, which is also subject to project lender approval and final agreement, will settle outstanding claims and extend project deadlines. Halliburton also announced that it will take additional operating losses on its Barracuda-Caratinga project in the first quarter of 2004 of approximately $62 million or $0.14 per share after tax. The additional charges follow a thorough review of the project indicating higher cost estimates, schedule extensions and other factors.

KBR UPDATES DEFINITIZATION SCHEDULE ON LOGCAP CONTRACT: March 17, 2004 - KBR is pleased with the decision by the Army Materiel Command (AMC) that past invoices will be paid without withholding 15 percent. The decision on past invoices is consistent with our understanding of LOGCAP III contracts. We do not believe the 15 percent withhold is applicable to the LOGCAP III contract and this is a complicated issue which we are currently working through with our customer. Despite the challenging environment that exists, to date KBR had been ahead of the revised schedule in the definitization stage of its task orders. However, just this week, AMC has been mandated to reduce their overall budget, thereby requiring that KBR re-estimate all work-to-date on the LOGCAP III contract. Because of this change, this will have an impact on the definitization schedule and could delay the date when the potential 15 percent withhold is put in place. Again, we do not believe the 15 percent withhold is applicable to the LOGCAP III contract. "KBR's working capital investment in Iraq-related work now exceeds $1.2 billion," said Randy Harl, president and chief executive officer, KBR. "There are very few companies in the world that could or would adapt this quickly while, at the same time, finance an operation of this magnitude. KBR pays for the equipment, supplies, and manpower and is reimbursed after the government much later after a detailed review and clarification of any bill submitted." If 15 percent of future billings are withheld from KBR pending final definitization approvals, it will be necessary to impose a corresponding 15 percent withholding on our subcontractors, because of the large working capital burden KBR is already carrying. This is in accordance with contract agreements with subcontractors. We remain confident about working through these and other issues in a cooperative manner.

HALLIBURTON SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON KBR'S GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS: March 11, 2004 - Halliburton today strongly responded to incomplete information presented to Congressional Democrats regarding KBR's work on government contracts in the Middle East. On March 10, Congressman Henry Waxman, Ranking Minority Member of the House Government Reform Committee, published a memorandum to the Democratic Members of the Committee, reporting on alleged �new information about Halliburton Contracts�. �We are disappointed, once again, that selective portions of audit reports have been released publicly even before KBR and the Army have made final reviews of the information,� said Randy Harl, president and chief executive officer, KBR. �Releases of partial reports are inappropriate because the true and complete story cannot be conveyed.� In fact, the release of these reports could violate established Federal Policy. �Once again, we have not been given a chance to respond to accusations before they are released publicly. We believe that every point in Mr. Waxman�s letter has a reasonable explanation or could be refuted outright.� For example, the facts show that KBR delivered fuel to Iraq at the best value, the best price, and the best terms and in ways completely consistent with government procurement policies. KBR�s client, the US Army Corps of Engineers, provided approval and direction for KBR to continue this important work so the people of Iraq would have fuel for transportation, cooking and heating. The points in Mr. Waxman�s memo state that a round trip for fuel transportation can be completed in two-and-a-half days. The facts show that, on average, a round trip to Baghdad generally takes up to five times as long to complete, due to threat and security conditions. Therefore, actual transportation costs are higher than represented in Mr. Waxman's letter. �A call to Halliburton would have provided context to the discussion,� added Harl.

Similarly, Mr. Waxman quotes a number that changed in cost estimates for a task order. The facts show that the scope of this task order was reduced, and costs were lowered accordingly. �Of course, cost estimates change because the scope of work requirements are dynamic and ever changing and it would be inappropriate for anyone to imply otherwise,� said Harl.

In addition, a comment was made about the food services estimates and costs. A closer examination of KBR's response to the DCAA audit would show that KBR disclosed that vendors were terminated by KBR for default. Without all of the facts, it is inappropriate to criticize KBR. Representatives of DCAA were present when the format and compliance schedule was agreed to with KBR�s client. At that meeting, all parties agreed that the task orders need to be completed and provided to the government in a timely manner. KBR is ahead of that schedule and we have completed the first analysis for this report, having delivered it this week. �This is an important piece of information that was left out of the letter from Mr. Waxman,� stated Harl. "We can take criticism when it is justified because we are our harshest critics," explained Harl. "It's the only way to improve. Criticism is not failure. We pledged to cooperate and we have fully cooperated with the DCAA and all of the regulatory agencies overseeing our contracts. �Oversight of the public�s money is important �especially during times of war,� Harl added. �You must supply the best services and value at the best price possible often under pressure. That is why we at Halliburton are especially troubled when the regulatory processes created to ensure public confidence in the procurement system are bypassed for a few sensational headlines.

�All contractors involved in the effort freeing the Iraqi people are, of course, subject to oversight,� cautioned Harl. All government entities and government contractors need to review their performance, learn from the experience and look for areas of improvement. Halliburton continues to be a good steward of taxpayer money during Operation Iraqi Freedom, just as the company has been for the past 60 years of military support. �We are proud of our work in the Middle East today,� Harl stated. �Our very talented team of employees is making a difference in the lives of U.S. soldiers, making them feel a little closer to home. �We will continue to support the soldiers even though the price for this mission is the cost of having to defend ourselves at home,� concluded Harl.

HALLIBURTON: KBR DELIVERED FUEL AT BEST VALUE, PRICE, TERMS: February 24, 2004 - Media reports have indicated that the Inspector General's office is further examining allegations of fuel delivery in Iraq. Halliburton has not received any notification of a further development in the examination. The company says, if the reports are true, they would represent a normal, routine step in any kind of high profile inquiry. �This is a step toward resolution of the issue. In the current political environment, it is expected,� Wendy Hall, company spokeswoman said. �The facts show KBR delivered fuel to Iraq at the best value, the best price and the best terms. It is important to understand that this is a forward step to study the issue. It is not a new attack on Halliburton," said Hall. �It is also important to understand the difference between fact and allegations. It is not fact that KBR has overcharged.� Hall emphasized that the US Army Corps of Engineers approved that the fuel be delivered from Kuwait, even though it was at a higher cost than fuel imports from Turkey. �It's unfair to accuse Halliburton of paying too much for Kuwaiti fuel when KBR was told to buy the fuel and given approval to purchase it from a specific supplier,� said Hall.

HALLIBURTON VOLUNTARILY SUSPENDS BILLING FOR THE NEXT MONTH: February 16, 2004 - Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) today said it has offered an unprecedented response to the Department of Defense regarding the number of meals which have been served to the troops. The company today said it has temporarily suspended certain invoicing of subcontractor services for meal planning, food purchase and meal preparation for soldiers. Simultaneously, Halliburton said the company will continue working with our customer, the US Army, to finalize an agreement as to how to reconcile the differences between meals ordered by the Department of Defense and the 'boots through the door' number of meals actually served to the soldiers. While the company cannot predict when the methodology will be agreed upon with the military, it is important to understand that the amounts that are being withheld from billing have the potential to increase as well as decrease. �It is important to understand that this is not any sort of �admission�. As a responsible government contractor it is the right thing to do,� said Randy Harl, president and chief executive officer, KBR. �KBR is a good steward of the taxpayers' dollars.� As the reconciliation process continues, the difference between the number of meals planned and the amount of meals actually served to the troops on the ground first totaled $16 million and shortly thereafter an additional $11.4 million. In an SEC filing last week, Halliburton confirmed it agreed with the DCAA to suspend subcontractor billings of $34.5 million. In addition, the company now is voluntarily holding approximately $140 million of subcontractor invoices for food services that have already been provided to the military. Halliburton will defer further billing to the US Government for these subcontracted services until an agreement is reached. Despite taking these actions, the company said it expects the basic issues of breakfast, lunch and dinner to continue to be the topic of political discussions. The company says it is willing to wait until the facts catch up to the rhetoric.
