Narrative:
At XA15 I took control of OC3/4. The progress report over beats had been taken by the previous controller. I made the xfer to hnl cerap on widebody transport and stated FL350 while I circled FL370. The aircraft contacted hnl over bradr at FL370. I believe a readback by the accepting facility may have reduced the chance of missing this error. Also I may have been more aware that what was said was in error if I had been the one to take the progress report over beats. Otherwise cause lapse of awareness.

Title: ARTCC CTLR PASSED WRONG ALT ON MANUAL HANDOFF TO ADJACENT ARTCC. RECEIVING CTLR CAUGHT ERROR.
Narrative: AT XA15 I TOOK CTL OF OC3/4. THE PROGRESS RPT OVER BEATS HAD BEEN TAKEN BY THE PREVIOUS CTLR. I MADE THE XFER TO HNL CERAP ON WDB AND STATED FL350 WHILE I CIRCLED FL370. THE ACFT CONTACTED HNL OVER BRADR AT FL370. I BELIEVE A READBACK BY THE ACCEPTING FAC MAY HAVE REDUCED THE CHANCE OF MISSING THIS ERROR. ALSO I MAY HAVE BEEN MORE AWARE THAT WHAT WAS SAID WAS IN ERROR IF I HAD BEEN THE ONE TO TAKE THE PROGRESS RPT OVER BEATS. OTHERWISE CAUSE LAPSE OF AWARENESS.
