Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Description of Company and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Company.

 

Halliburton Company's predecessor was established in 1919 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1924. They are one of the world's largest oilfield services companies and a leading provider of engineering and construction services. They have six business segments that are organized around how they manage their business: Production Optimization, Fluid Systems, Drilling and Formation Evaluation, and Digital and Consulting Solutions (formerly Landmark and Other Energy Services), collectively, the Energy Services Group; and Government and Infrastructure and Energy and Chemicals, collectively known as KBR. Through their Energy Services Group, they provide a comprehensive range of discrete and integrated products and services for the exploration, development, and production of oil and gas. They serve major national and independent oil and gas companies throughout the world. KBR provides a wide range of services to energy and industrial customers and governmental entities worldwide.


Use of estimates.

 

Their financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requiring us 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Ultimate results could differ from those estimates.


Basis of presentation.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of their company and all of their subsidiaries which they control or variable interest entities for which they have determined that they are the primary

beneficiary (see Note 20). All material inter company accounts and transactions are eliminated. Investments in companies in which they have a significant influence are accounted for using the equity method, and if they do not have significant influence they use the cost method.


Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.


Revenue recognition.

 

Overall. Their service and products are generally sold based upon purchase orders or contracts with their customers that do not include right of return provision or other significant post-delivery obligations. Their products are produced in standard manufacturing operations, even if produced to their customer’s specifications. They recognize revenue from product sales when title passes to the customer, the customer assumes risks and rewards of ownership, and collectibles is reasonably assured. Service revenues, including training and consulting services, are recognized when the services are rendered and collectibles is reasonably assured. Rates for services are typically priced on a per day, per meter, per man bour, or similar basis.    

 

Software sales. Software sales of perpetual software licenses, net of deferred maintenance fees, are recorded as revenue upon shipment. Sales of use licenses are recognized as revenue over the license period. Post-contract customer support agreements are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the contract period, generally a one-year duration.

 

Percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Progress is generally based upon physical progress, man-hours, or costs incurred, depending on the type of job. All known or anticipated losses on contracts are provided for when they become evident. Claims and change orders that are in the process of being negotiated with customers for extra work or changes in the scope of work are included in

revenue when collection is deemed probable.

 

Accounting for government contracts. Most of the services provided to the United States government are governed by cost-reimbursable contracts. Generally, these contracts contain both a base fee (a fixed profit percentage applied to their actual costs to complete the work) and an award fee (a variable profit

percentage, subject to their customer’s discretion and tied to the

HALLIBURTON ANNOUNCES UPDATE ON FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS

HOUSTON, Texas – Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) announced today it expects first quarter earnings to be below analyst consensus estimates.

 

During the first quarter, the Production Optimization and Fluid Systems Divisions of Halliburton’s Energy Services Group have experienced reduced activity in North America. A significant portion of these lower than anticipated results is attributable to decreased drilling and completion activity in Canada and the northern United States.

 

Halliburton expects its earnings per share for the first quarter of 2007 to be approximately 49 to 54 cents (excluding any potential impact from possible additional losses related to KBR’s 50-percent owned gas-to-liquids project in Escravos, Nigeria, and any possible impairment charges related to KBR’s Brown & Root-Condor Spa joint venture in Algeria as disclosed in the recent amendment to KBR’s Form S-4 registration statement).  

 

As referenced below, Halliburton is conducting an exchange offer for shares of KBR owned by Halliburton.  For information regarding recent developments relating to KBR's Escravos project and KBR's Brown & Root-Condor Spa joint venture, please read Amendment No.1 to KBR's Form S-4 registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.
