ITEM 8.01.

Other Events.

 

On August 4, 2007, KBRL, a subsidiary of KBR, Inc., sold its rights and interests in Brown & Root-Condor Spa (BRC) and certain other Algerian accounts receivable to Sonatrach, a participant in BRC. The purchase price was $24 million paid in Algerian Dinars and KBR is awaiting approval from the Bank of Algeria to convert the amount into U.S. currency. This sale is expected to result in estimated net income to KBR of approximately $0.06 per share, representing a partial reversal of BRC related charges of $0.11 per share recorded in the first quarter of 2007.
