Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Halliburton Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Halliburton Company and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, comprehensive income, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of Halliburton Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Halliburton Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
Halliburton Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 7, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of
Halliburton Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
