ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Smith International, Inc. ("Smith" or the "Company") is a leading
worldwide supplier of premium products and services to the oil and gas
exploration and production industry, the petrochemical industry and other
industrial markets. The Company provides a comprehensive line of
technologically-advanced products and engineering services, including drilling
and completion fluid systems, solids-control equipment, waste-management
services, three-cone and diamond drill bits, fishing services, drilling tools,
underreamers, casing exit and multilateral systems, packers and liner hangers.
The Company also offers supply-chain management solutions through an extensive
branch network providing pipe, valve, tool, safety and other maintenance
products. The Company was incorporated in the state of California in January
1937 and reincorporated under Delaware law in May 1983. The Company's executive
offices are headquartered at 411 N. Sam Houston Parkway, Suite 600, Houston,
Texas 77060 and its telephone number is (281) 443-3370.

The Company's operations are aggregated into two reportable segments:
Oilfield Products and Services and Distribution. The Oilfield Products and
Services segment consists of: M-I, which provides drilling and completion fluid
systems and services, solids-control and separation equipment and
waste-management services; Smith Bits, which manufactures and sells three-cone
and diamond drill bits; and Smith Services, which manufactures and markets
products and services used for drilling, workover, well completion and well
re-entry operations. The Distribution segment consists of one business unit:
Wilson, which markets pipe, valve, tool, safety and other maintenance products
to energy and industrial markets.

Financial information regarding reportable segments and international
operations appears in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Information related
to business combinations appears in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The Company manufactures and markets premium products and services to
the oil and gas exploration and production and petrochemical industries and
other industrial markets. The Company's worldwide operations are largely driven
by the level of exploration and production activity in major energy-producing
areas and the depth and drilling conditions of these projects. Drilling activity
levels are primarily influenced by energy prices but may also be affected by
expectations related to the worldwide supply of and demand for oil and natural
gas, finding and development costs, decline and depletion rates, political
actions and uncertainties, environmental concerns, capital expenditure plans of
exploration and production companies and the overall level of global economic
growth and activity.

The Company's 2002 results will be influenced by the anticipated 15
percent to 20 percent reduction in average worldwide activity levels during
2002 associated with the global economic slowdown. However, the effect of the
decline in drilling activity is expected to be partially offset by the impact of
acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2001. The majority of the
year-over-year reduction in drilling activity is expected to be reported in the
United States. The U.S. rig count is currently 36 percent below the average
level reported in 2001 due principally to the decline in land-based drilling
programs, which are generally more sensitive to energy prices. Drilling activity
in many international markets, which is driven primarily by oil-directed
spending, has not been significantly impacted to date. Although the long-term
outlook for exploration and production activity is favorable based upon expected
growth in worldwide energy consumption, delays in a global economic recovery
could further impact activity levels on a short-term basis. Additional declines
in activity levels could result in lower demand for the Company's products and
services, and adversely impact future results.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

OILFIELD PRODUCTS AND SERVICES SEGMENT

M-I

Fluid Products and Services. The Company is a leading worldwide
provider of drilling, reservoir drill-in and completion fluid systems, products
and engineering services to end users engaged in drilling oil, natural gas and
geothermal wells. Drilling fluid products and systems are used to cool and
lubricate the bit during drilling operations, contain formation pressures,
suspend and remove rock cuttings from the hole and maintain the stability of the
wellbore. Engineering services are provided to ensure that the products and
systems are applied effectively to optimize drilling operations. These services
include recommending products and services during the well planning phase;
monitoring drilling fluid properties; recommending adjustments during the
drilling phase; and analyzing/benchmarking well results after completion of the
project to improve the efficiencies of future wells.

M-I offers water-base, oil-base and synthetic-base drilling fluid
systems. Water-base drilling fluids are the world's most widely utilized
systems, having application in both land and offshore environments. Typically,
these systems comprise an engineered blend of weighting materials used to
contain formation pressures, and a broad range of chemical additives, designed
to yield the specific drilling performance characteristics required for a given
drilling project. Oil-base drilling fluids, which primarily are used to drill
water-sensitive shales, reduce torque and drag and are widely used in areas
where stuck pipe is likely to occur. In certain drilling areas of the world,
oil-base systems exhibit comparably higher penetration rates when compared to
water-base systems, significantly reducing time on location and overall drilling
costs. Synthetic-base drilling fluids are used in drilling environments where
oil-base fluids are environmentally prohibited and provide the performance
benefits of oil-base systems. Synthetic-base systems are particularly
advantageous in the deepwater environment. M-I also provides a comprehensive
line of reservoir drill-in fluids which combine the high performance properties
of a premium drilling fluid with minimal damaging characteristics of a brine
completion fluid.

Completion fluids (clear brines) are solids-free, clear-salt solutions
with high specific gravities and are non-damaging to the producing formation.
Operators use these specially designed fluid systems in combination with a
comprehensive range of specialty chemicals to control bottom-hole pressures,
while meeting the specific corrosion inhibition, viscosity and fluid loss
requirements necessary during the completion and workover phase of a well. These
systems are specially engineered to maximize well production by minimizing
formation damage that can be caused by solids-laden systems. M-I provides a
complete line of completion fluids products and services, including low- and
high-density brines, specialty chemicals, filtration and chemical treatment
services, wellsite engineering and technical and laboratory support services.

Fluid Competition. The major competitors in the worldwide drilling
fluids market, which approximated $3.0 billion in 2001, are Baroid Drilling
Fluids (a division of Halliburton Company ("Halliburton")) and INTEQ (a division
of Baker Hughes, Inc. ("Baker Hughes")). While M-I and these companies supply a
majority of the market, the drilling fluids industry is highly competitive, with
a significant number of smaller, locally based competitors. M-I has four main
competitors in the sale of clear brine fluids to end-use markets: Baroid
Completion Fluids (a division of Halliburton), Tetra Technologies, Inc., OSCA,
Inc. and Ambar, Inc. Differentiation within the competition is based upon the
engineering services provided at the wellsite, product quality and availability,
technical support, service response and price.

SWACO Products and Services. M-I SWACO provides services, equipment and
engineering for solids control, pressure control and waste management to the
worldwide drilling market.

Solids-control equipment is used to remove drill cuttings from the
fluid system, allowing the drilling fluid to be cleaned and recirculated. Solids
are normally separated from the drilling fluid using one or a combination of the
following: shale shakers, desanders, desilters, hydroclones, mud cleaners and
centrifuges. SWACO designs, sells and rents a comprehensive, proprietary line of
this equipment for oil and gas drilling processes throughout the world. With the
acquisition of United Wire Ltd. and Southwestern Wire Cloth, Inc. in late 2001,
the Company is also a leading manufacturer and supplier of screens for both the
oilfield and industrial markets. SWACO complements its product offering by
providing engineering and technical support to operators and drilling
contractors from the planning stages of their projects through waste removal and
site remediation.

2

Operators employ SWACO-manufactured pressure-control equipment to drill
safely and economically in sour-gas and high-pressure zones. Well killing and
high-pressure control drilling chokes, together with related operating consoles,
are used in the drilling process during well kicks and well clean-up and testing
operations. Degassers and mud gas separators are designed to remove and safely
vent entrained gases, including toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide and
corrosive oxygen, from the drilling mud. This equipment reduces the risk of
dangerous and costly blowouts caused by recirculating mud that contains natural
gas. Key products in SWACO's pressure control product line include the MUD
D-GASSER(R) and SUPER CHOKE(R), both of which hold strong market positions as do
the SUPER MUD GAS SEPARATOR(TM) and the SUPER AUTOCHOKE(TM). The latter products
represent key advancements in hands-free well pressure control and underbalanced
drilling operations.

With drilling operations expanding into more environmentally sensitive
areas, there has been increased focus on the effective collection, treatment and
disposal of waste produced during the drilling of a well. SWACO provides
operators with value-added solutions designed to minimize and treat drilling
waste. The Company provides a full suite of waste handling, minimization and
management services that includes rig vacuum systems for cuttings recovery,
high-gravity force drying for liquid/solid separation and cuttings slurification
and re-injection for reducing waste. In addition, through the THERMAL PHASE
SEPARATION (TPS) process, SWACO provides operators a proven technology for
maximizing the recovery of drilling fluids, while minimizing wastes. SWACO's
waste treatment services encompass a wide range of activities, including site
assessment, drill cuttings injection, water treatment, pit closure and
remediation, bioremediation, dewatering and thermal processing. The Company has
established ENVIROCENTERS in Norway, Germany and the United States designed
specifically for recovering, treating and recycling solid and liquid drilling
wastes.

SWACO Competition. M-I SWACO competes with Brandt/Rigtech (a subsidiary
of Varco International, Inc.) and Derrick/Oil Tools. Additionally, there are a
number of regional suppliers that provide a limited range of equipment and
services tailored for local markets. Competition is based on product
availability, equipment performance, technical support and price.

Smith Bits

Products and Services. Smith Bits is a worldwide leader in the design,
manufacture and marketing of drill bits used primarily in drilling oil and gas
wells. The Company's offering of petroleum drill bits and services is designed
principally for the premium market segments where faster drilling rates and
greater footage drilled provide significant economic benefits in the total cost
of a well.

Most bits manufactured and sold by Smith Bits are three-cone drill bits
for the petroleum industry, ranging in size from 3 1/2 to 28 inches in diameter.
These three-cone bits comprise two major components - the body and the cones,
which contain different types of pointed structures referred to as "cutting
structures" or "teeth." The cutting structures are either an integral part of
the steel cone with a hardmetal-applied surface (referred to as "milled tooth")
or made of an inserted material (referred to as "insert"), which is usually
tungsten carbide. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in
demand for drill bits in which the tungsten carbide insert is coated with
polycrystalline diamond ("PDC"). In certain formations, bits produced with
diamond-enhanced inserts last longer and increase penetration rates, which
substantially decreases overall drilling costs. Smith Bits is the leading
provider of drill bits utilizing diamond-enhanced insert technology.

In addition, Smith Bits designs, manufactures and markets diamond, or
shear, drill bits. Diamond bits consist of a single body made of either a matrix
powder alloy or steel. The cutting structures of diamond bits consist of either
PDC cutters, which are braised on the bit, or natural and synthetic diamonds,
which are impregnated in the bit. These bits range in size from 2 3/4 to 26
inches in diameter. The Company's diamond bit product line also includes
bi-center bits which are capable of drilling dual-diameter wellbore sizes.

The Company manufactures ultra-hard PDC and cubic boron nitride
materials that are used in the Company's three-cone and diamond drill bits and
other specialized cutting tools. Smith Bits develops and uses patented processes
for applying diamonds to a curved surface with multiple transition layers. Smith
Bits develops and manufactures its own synthetic diamond materials, which the
Company believes provides it with a cost and technological advantage. In
addition, the Company's in-house diamond research, engineering and manufacturing

3

capabilities enhance the Company's ability to develop the application of diamond
technology across other Smith product lines and into several non-energy cutting
tool markets. The Company believes that its ability to develop specialized
diamond inserts for specific applications has provided, and will continue to
provide, new business opportunities.

Competition. Besides the Company, Hughes Christensen (a division of
Baker Hughes), Security DBS (a division of Halliburton) and Reed/Hycalog (a
division of Schlumberger Limited ("Schlumberger")) are the three major
competitors in the drill bit business. While Smith Bits and these companies
supply the majority of the worldwide drill bit market, they compete with more
than 20 companies. Generally, competition for sales of drill bits is based on a
number of factors, including performance, quality, reliability, service, price,
technological advances and breadth of products. The Company believes its
quality, reliability and technological advances, such as diamond-enhanced
inserts, provide its products with a competitive advantage.

Smith Services

Products and Services. Smith Services is a leading global provider of
technologically advanced drilling, fishing, remedial, multilateral and
completion products, services and solutions to the oil and gas drilling
industry.

Smith Services' Drilling Optimization Solutions business provides a
broad range of downhole impact tools for drilling applications as well as
numerous other specialized downhole drilling products and services. Smith
Services sells and rents impact drilling tools such as the HYDRA-JAR(TM) and the
ACCELERATOR(R), which are used to free stuck drill strings during the drilling
process. Additionally, the HYDRA-THRUST(TM) and HYDRA-TORAX(TM) tools are used
in the drilling process, designed to maintain constant weight on the drill bit
and absorb drill string vibrations. Smith Services also offers tubular drill
string components, such as drill collars, subs, stabilizers, kellys and
HEVI-WATE(TM) drill pipe, and provides related inspection services, including
drill string repair and rebuild services. These components and their placement
in the drill string are supported by engineering and field technical services in
order to optimize bottom hole management techniques. Through state-of-the-art
software, Smith Services aids the customer in maximizing the life of drill
string components. Rotating drilling heads for flow control in underbalanced
drilling applications and automatic connection torque monitoring and control
systems are also designed and manufactured by Smith Services.

Smith Services' Fishing and Remedial Solutions business provides a
comprehensive package of fishing, remedial and thru-tubing services. Fishing
operations clear and remove obstructions from a wellbore that may arise during
drilling, completion or workover activities or during a well's production phase.
This operation requires a wide variety of specialty tools, including fishing
jars, milling tools and casing cutters, all of which are manufactured by Smith
Services. These tools are operated by Company service personnel or sold or
rented to third-party fishing companies. Smith Services also manufactures and
markets hole openers and underreamers which are designed to create larger hole
diameters in certain sections of the wellbore. The Company's patented
REAMASTER(TM) and UNDERREAMMING-WHILE-DRILLING SYSTEM(TM) ("UWD") are two
examples of products that aid the customer in realizing lower drilling costs
through technology. Through the use of the UWD system above the drill bit, the
operator may drill the main bore with the bit and enlarge the diameter of the
hole above the drill bit in the same run.

Smith Services provides Casing Exit and Multilateral Solutions through
the manufacture of proprietary casing exit tools which are installed by highly
trained technicians. These systems, which include the patented MILLMASTER
PERFORMANCE MILLING SYSTEM(TM), PACKSTOCK(TM), ANCHORSTOCK(TM) and
TRACKMASTER(TM), allow the operator to divert around obstructions in the main
wellbore or reach multiple production zones from the main wellbore (known as
multilateral completions). The Company's MX(TM) multilateral system is suitable
for the construction of TAML (Technical Advancement of Multilaterals) level
three, four and five junctions. Smith Services has designed the patented
DRILLAHEAD SYSTEM(TM) that cuts the casing window and continues drilling beyond
the window, essentially creating a "no trip" system which saves the customer
time and reduces their overall drilling costs. Recent innovations in window
milling technology by the Company have resulted in cost-effective, reliable
cutting structures capable of removing both the casing and rock. The recently
introduced XITOR(TM) GEOTRACK(TM) one-trip mill utilizes PDC cutters and, when
run with the TRACKMASTER DS(TM) whipstock, will mill the casing exit and
continue on to drill several hundred feet of formation. The Company also
provides mechanical, hydraulic and explosive pipe-cutting services to remove
casing during well or platform abandonment.

Smith Services' Completion Solutions business specializes in providing
fit-for-purpose liner hanger, liner cementing equipment, isolation packers,
retrievable and permanent packers, packer products and multilateral completion
equipment. Liner hangers allow strings of casing to be suspended within the
wellbore without having to extend the string all the way to the surface and are
also

4

used to isolate production zones and formations. Most directional and
multilateral wells include one or more hangers due to the difficult casing
programs and need for zonal isolation. Using Smith Services' POCKET SLIP(TM)
liner hanger system, long heavy liners can be suspended with minimal casing
distortion and maximum flow-by area. Packers are mechanically or hydraulically
actuated devices which lock into place at specified depths in the well and
provide a seal between zones through expanding-element systems. The devices
therefore create isolated zones within the wellbore to permit either specific
formation production or allow for certain operations, such as cementing or
acidizing, to take place without damaging the reservoir.

Competition. Smith Services' major competitors in the drilling,
remedial, re-entry and fishing services markets are Weatherford International,
Inc. ("Weatherford"), Baker Oil Tools (a division of Baker Hughes) and numerous
small local companies. The main competitors in the liner hanger and packer
markets are Baker Oil Tools, Weatherford and TIW Corporation. The main
competitors in the drilling and fishing jar market and the fishing product and
service market are Weatherford and National-Oilwell Inc. ("National-Oilwell").
Competition in the drilling and completions sales, rental and services market is
primarily based on performance, quality, reliability, service, price and
response time and, in some cases, breadth of products. Smith Services attributes
its competitive position to its commitment to technological advancements that
add value to the customer's programs, plus the quality, performance and service
of its products and employees.

DISTRIBUTION SEGMENT

Wilson

Products and Services. Wilson is a supply-chain management company
which provides products and services to the energy, refining, petrochemical,
power generation and mining industries. Wilson operates an extensive network of
supply branches, service centers and sales offices through which it markets
pipe, valve, tool, safety, janitorial and other maintenance products throughout
the world, predominately in the United States and Canada. In addition, Wilson
provides warehouse management, vendor integration and various surplus and
inventory management services. The majority of Wilson's operations are focused
on North American distribution of maintenance, repair and operating supplies and
equipment with the remainder associated with line pipe and automated valve
products (including valve, actuator and control packages).

Competition. Wilson's competitors in the distribution business include
National-Oilwell, McJunkin Corporation and a significant number of smaller,
locally based competitors. The oilfield equipment supply industry is highly
competitive. Generally, competition involves numerous factors, including price,
experience, customer service and equipment availability. Wilson markets its
products and services to exploration and production companies as well as to
companies with operations in the refining, chemical and pipeline segments of the
petroleum industry and as a result is considered to be both an "upstream" and
"downstream" competitor. Fluctuations in the demand for products and services
from customers with operations in these segments tend to provide a diversified
revenue base.

NON-U.S. OPERATIONS

Sales to oil and gas exploration and production markets outside the
United States are a key strategic focus of Smith's management. The Company
markets its products and services through subsidiaries, joint ventures and sales
agents located in virtually all petroleum-producing areas of the world,
including Canada, the North Sea/Europe, the Middle East, Latin America,
Asia/Pacific and Africa. Approximately 48 percent, 51 percent and 54 percent of
the Company's revenues in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were derived from
equipment or services sold or provided outside the United States. The Company's
distribution operations are focused in North America and serve to mask the
Company's exposure to markets outside the United States. Excluding the impact of
the distribution operations, 59 percent, 60 percent and 63 percent of the
Company's revenues were generated in non-U.S. markets in 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

Historically, drilling activity outside the United States has been less
volatile than U.S. based activity as the high cost exploration and production
programs outside the United States are generally undertaken by major oil
companies, consortiums and national oil companies. These entities operate under
longer-term strategic priorities than do the independent drilling operators that
are more common in the U.S. market.

5

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

Sales and service efforts are directed to end users in the drilling and
completion industry, including major and independent oil companies, national oil
companies and independent drilling contractors. The Company's products and
services are primarily marketed through the direct sales force of each business
unit. In certain non-U.S. markets where direct sales efforts are not
practicable, the Company utilizes independent sales agents, distributors or
joint ventures.

Smith maintains field service centers, which function as repair and
maintenance facilities for rental tools, operations for remedial and completion
service and a base for the Company's global sales force, in every major oil and
gas producing area of the world. The location of these service centers near the
Company's customers is an important factor in maintaining favorable customer
relations.

MANUFACTURING

The Company's manufacturing operations, along with quality control
support, are designed to ensure that all products and services marketed by the
Company will meet standards of performance and reliability consistent with the
Company's reputation in the industry.

Management believes that it generally has sufficient internal
manufacturing capacity to meet anticipated demand for its products and services.
During periods of peak demand, certain business units utilize outside resources
to provide additional manufacturing capacity.

RAW MATERIALS

Through its company-owned mines in and outside the United States, M-I
has the capability to produce a large portion of its requirements for barite and
bentonite. Barite reserves are mined in the United States, the United Kingdom
and Morocco. Bentonite is produced from ore deposits in the United States.
Mining exploration activities continue worldwide to locate and evaluate ore
bodies to ensure deposits are readily available for production when market
conditions dictate. In addition to its own production, M-I purchases a majority
of its worldwide barite requirement from suppliers outside the United States,
mainly the People's Republic of China, India and Morocco.

The Company purchases a variety of raw materials for its Smith Bits and
Smith Services units, including alloy and stainless steel bars, tungsten carbide
inserts and forgings. Generally, the Company is not dependent on any single
source of supply for any of its raw materials or purchased components. The
Company purchases a significant amount of tungsten carbide inserts and U.S.
forging requirements from two suppliers under separate supply agreements. The
Company believes that numerous alternative supply sources are available for all
such materials. The Company produces PDC in Provo, Utah and Scurelle, Italy for
utilization in various Company products as well as direct customer sales. The
Company believes that it enjoys a competitive advantage in the manufacture of
diamond drill bits because it is the only diamond drill bit producer with
substantial PDC manufacturing capabilities.

6

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, ENGINEERING AND PATENTS

The Company's business units maintain product development and
engineering departments whose activities are focused on improving existing
products and services and developing new technologies to meet customer demands
for improved drilling performance and environmental-based solutions for drilling
and completion operations. The Company's primary research facilities are located
in Houston, Texas; Stavanger, Norway; and Aberdeen, Scotland.

The Company also maintains a drill bit database which records the
performance of substantially all drill bits used in the United States over the
last 16 years, including those manufactured by competitors. This database gives
the Company the ability to monitor, among other things, drill bit failures and
performance improvements related to product development. Management believes
this proprietary database gives the Company a competitive advantage in the drill
bit business.

The Company has historically invested significant resources in research
and engineering in order to provide customers with broader product lines and
technologically-advanced products and services. The Company's expenditures for
research and engineering activities are attributable to the Company's Oilfield
Products and Services segment and totaled $50.8 million in 2001, $42.4 million
in 2000 and $39.0 million in 1999. In 2001, research and engineering
expenditures approximated 2.1 percent of the Company's Oilfield Products and
Services segment revenues.

Although the Company has over 1,100 issued and pending patents and
regards its patents and patent applications as important in the operation of its
business, it does not believe that any significant portion of its business is
materially dependent upon any single patent or group of patents or upon patent
protection in general.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2001, the Company had 11,494 full time employees
throughout the world. Most of the Company's employees in the United States are
not covered by collective bargaining agreements except in certain U.S. mining
operations of M-I and several distribution locations of Wilson. The Company
considers its labor relations to be satisfactory.

7

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The principal facilities and properties utilized by the Company at
December 31, 2001 are shown in the table below. Generally the facilities and
properties are owned by the Company.

The Company considers its mines and manufacturing and processing
facilities to be in good condition and adequately maintained.

The Company's headquarters is located in a leased office in Houston,
Texas. The Company leases various other administrative and sales offices, as
well as warehouses and service centers in the United States and other countries
in which it conducts business. Management believes that it will be able to renew
and extend its property leases on terms satisfactory to the Company or, if
necessary, locate substitute facilities on acceptable terms.

MATTERS.

The common stock of the Company is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange and the Pacific Stock Exchange. The following are the high and low sale
prices for the Company's common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange
Composite Tape for the periods indicated.

On March 15, 2002, the Company had 2,302 common stock holders of record
and the last reported closing price on the New York Stock Exchange Composite
Tape was $66.82.

The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock since the first
quarter of 1986. The determination of the amount of future cash dividends to be
declared and paid on the common stock, if any, will depend upon the Company's
financial condition, earnings and cash flow from operations, the level of its
capital expenditures, its future business prospects and other factors that the
Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, the Company's debt agreements
contain covenants restricting the payment of cash dividends to the Company's
common stockholders based on net earnings and operating cash flow formulas as
defined.

to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations included elsewhere in this Form
10-K should be read in order to understand factors such as business combinations
completed during 2001, 2000 and 1999, and unusual items which may affect the
comparability of the information shown above.

(a) In July 1999, the Company completed a transaction with Schlumberger
Limited related to the combination of certain M-I and Dowell drilling
fluid operations under a joint venture arrangement. Schlumberger
contributed its non-U.S. drilling fluid operations and paid cash
consideration of $280.0 million to the Company in exchange for a 40
percent minority ownership interest in the combined operations. The
Company recognized a non-recurring gain of $81.4 million in connection
with this transaction.

(b) In 1998, the Company recognized $82.5 million of charges related to
restructuring efforts and costs associated with the acquisition and
integration of Wilson Industries, Inc.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The following "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" is provided to assist readers in
understanding the Company's financial performance during the periods presented
and significant trends which may impact the future performance of the Company.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Company and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in
this Form 10-K.

The Company manufactures and markets premium products and services to
the oil and gas exploration and production and petrochemical industries and
other industrial markets. The Company's worldwide operations are largely driven
by the level of exploration and production activity in major energy-producing
areas and the depth and drilling conditions of these projects. Drilling activity
levels are primarily influenced by energy prices but may also be affected by
expectations related to the worldwide supply of and demand for oil and natural
gas, finding and development costs, decline and depletion rates, political
actions and uncertainties, environmental concerns, capital expenditure plans of
exploration and production companies and the overall level of global economic
growth and activity.

The Company's 2002 results will be influenced by the anticipated 15
percent to 20 percent reduction in average worldwide activity levels during 2002
associated with the global economic slowdown. However, the effect of the decline
in drilling activity is expected to be partially offset by the impact of
acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2001. The majority of the
year-over-year reduction in drilling activity is expected to be reported in the
United States. The U.S. rig count is currently 36 percent below the average
level reported in 2001 due principally to the decline in land-based drilling
programs, which are generally more sensitive to energy prices. Drilling activity
in many international markets, which is driven primarily by oil-directed
spending, has not been significantly impacted to date. Although the long-term
outlook for exploration and production activity is favorable based upon expected
growth in worldwide energy consumption, delays in a global economic recovery
could further impact activity levels on a short-term basis. Additional declines
in activity levels could result in lower demand for the Company's products and
services, and adversely impact future results.

Management also believes the increasing complexity of drilling programs
has resulted in a shift in exploration and production spending toward
value-added, technology-based products, which reduce operators' overall drilling
costs. The Company continues to focus on investing in the development of
technology-based products that considerably improve the drilling process through
increased efficiency and rates of penetration and reduced formation damage.
Management believes the overall savings realized by the use of the Company's
premium products, such as polycrystalline diamond drill bits, diamond-enhanced
three-cone drill bits and synthetic drilling fluids, compensate for the higher
costs of these products over their non-premium counterparts.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning, among other
things, the Company's outlook, financial projections and business strategies,
all of which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These
forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms such as
"expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "believe" and similar terms. The
statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Segment Discussion

The Company markets its products and services throughout the world
through four business units which are aggregated into two reportable segments.
The Oilfield Products and Services segment consists of three business units:
M-I, Smith Bits and Smith Services. The Distribution segment includes the Wilson
business unit. The revenue discussion below has been summarized by business unit
in order to provide additional information in analyzing the Company's
operations. Dollars presented below are in thousands.

* not meaningful

13

Oilfield Products and Services Segment

Revenues

M-I provides drilling and completion fluid systems, engineering and
technical services to the oil and gas industry through its M-I Fluids division.
M-I's SWACO division manufactures and markets equipment and services for solids
control, separation, pressure control, rig instrumentation and waste management.
M-I reported revenues in 2001 of $1.6 billion, an increase of $390.6 million, or
32 percent, from 2000. The revenue growth is attributable to a 15 percent
increase in worldwide drilling activity and, to a lesser extent, acquisitions
and improved pricing. After excluding the effect of acquired operations, M-I's
2001 revenues were 22 percent above the prior year level with revenue growth
reported in all geographic regions. The majority of the base-business revenue
expansion was reported in the United States and Europe/Africa due to higher
demand for fluid products and fluid processing services. M-I's revenues in 2000
were $394.8 million, or 47 percent, above 1999 levels evidencing the higher
level of worldwide drilling activity. Approximately two-thirds of the revenue
improvement over 1999 was reported in the United States and Europe/Africa, which
was favorably impacted by increased customer spending in the offshore markets.
The revenue increase also related to inclusion of a full year of the Dowell
drilling fluid operations, which were acquired in connection with the formation
of the drilling fluids joint venture in July 1999. Excluding the impact of
acquisitions, revenues in 2000 increased 41 percent over 1999 revenue levels.

Smith Bits manufactures and sells three-cone and diamond drill bits
primarily for use in the oil and gas industry. Prior to the transfer of its
mining bit operations into the unconsolidated Sandvik Smith AB joint venture in
October 2001, Smith Bits also sold drill bits used in the mining and
construction industry. Smith Bits' revenues totaled $398.2 million in 2001,
which is $70.0 million, or 21 percent, above the 2000 level. Excluding mining
bit sales, revenues rose 25 percent from the prior year. The majority of the
base revenue growth was driven by the higher drilling activity levels in the
United States and Europe/Africa. The revenue increase from 2000, on a percentage
basis, exceeded the increase in the average M-I rig count in all geographic
areas due principally to improvements in pricing and market penetration. For the
year ended December 31, 2000, revenues were $88.1 million, or 37 percent, above
1999 levels. On a combined basis, sales of three-cone and diamond bits grew 40
percent over the prior year levels, in excess of the 30 percent improvement in
worldwide drilling activity, benefiting from increased market penetration and
the impact of price increases implemented throughout the year. Revenue increases
were reported in all geographic regions, with the majority of the growth
concentrated in North America where demand for drill bits was favorably impacted
by higher natural gas and crude oil prices.

Smith Services manufactures and markets products and services used in
the oil and gas industry for drilling, workover, well completion and well
re-entry. Smith Services' revenues rose $108.4 million, or 37 percent, from 2000
to $398.3 million in 2001. The impact of acquisitions completed in the second
half of 2001 essentially offset the effect of the divestiture of the directional
operations in January 2001. The significant organic revenue growth is
attributable to higher worldwide activity levels and new contract awards. Smith
Services' base revenues increased over 2000 levels in all geographic regions,
with approximately two-thirds of the improvement reported in the United States.
On a product basis, over 60 percent of the revenue improvement was attributable
to increased demand for drilling-related products and services, including drill
pipe, tubulars and inspection services. Smith Services' revenues for 2000
increased $62.7 million, or 28 percent, over the amounts reported in 1999. Over
three-quarters of the revenue improvement was experienced in the United States
and resulted from increased drilling and remedial activity in the U.S. Gulf
Coast area. On a product basis, increased sales of tubular goods and improved
demand for directional drilling services accounted for the largest dollar and
percentage increases period-to-period.

Income before Interest and Taxes

Income before interest and taxes for the Oilfield Products and Services
segment was $354.6 million, an increase of $166.6 million, or 89 percent, from
2000. As a percentage of revenue, income before interest and taxes was 14.6
percent in 2001, an increase of 450 basis points over 2000. Approximately
three-quarters of the year-over-year expansion in operating margins was
attributable to improved gross profit margins, reflecting improved pricing and
the leverage of higher volumes on the Company's manufacturing and service
infrastructure. Operating expenses, as a percentage of revenues, also declined
from 2000 and accounted for the remainder of the expansion on a margin basis.
For the year ended December 31, 2000, income before interest and taxes for the
Oilfield Products and Services segment increased $117.4 million from 1999. For
2000, income before interest and taxes was ten percent of revenues versus five
percent in the prior year period. The improvement in operating margins was
equally split between increased gross profit margins and lower operating
expenses as a percentage of revenues. The gross profit margins were impacted by
higher sales and production volumes and, to a lesser extent, price increases
implemented during 2000.

14

Distribution Segment

Revenues

Wilson markets pipe, valves, fittings, mill, safety and other
maintenance products to energy and industrial markets, primarily through an
extensive network of supply branches in the United States and Canada. Wilson's
revenues totaled $1.1 billion in 2001, an increase of $221.2 million, or 24
percent, from 2000. The Van Leeuwen operations, acquired in early 2001,
contributed approximately two-thirds of the revenue growth year-over-year. The
majority of the eight percent increase in base-business revenues was reported in
the U.S. energy branch operations, which benefited from higher customer spending
on exploration and production programs and line pipe projects. For the year
ended December 31, 2000, Wilson's revenues increased $409.3 million, or 82
percent, from 1999 due to a combination of internal growth and the impact of
acquisitions. Excluding the impact of acquired operations, revenues grew 24
percent over the prior year period as the increase in U.S. exploration and
production activity had a favorable impact on energy sector revenues.

Income before Interest and Taxes

Wilson's income before interest and taxes of $22.9 million was $6.2
million, or 37 percent, above the level reported in 2000. Income before interest
and taxes approximated 2.0 percent of revenue in 2001, slightly above the 2000
level due to the impact of the revenue growth on coverage of sales and
administrative support expenses. Gross profit margins were consistent with the
prior year with an improvement in gross margins in the U.S. energy branches
offset by the effect of a higher proportion of industrial and downstream
revenues, which traditionally generate lower gross profit margins. For the year
ended December 31, 2000, Wilson's income before interest and taxes increased
$16.5 million from the previous year. As a percentage of revenue, income before
interest and taxes increased to 1.8 percent in 2000 from a breakeven level in
1999. Higher revenues and a favorable shift in product mix accounted for the
majority of this improvement.

15

For the periods indicated, the following table summarizes the results
of operations of the Company and presents these results as a percentage of total
revenues (dollars in thousands):

2001 versus 2000

Total revenues for 2001 increased $790.2 million, or 29 percent, above
the prior year, with higher revenue reported across all operating units and
geographic regions. Two-thirds of the improvement was generated by the Company's
base operations. The Company reported organic revenue growth of 19 percent from
2000, comparing favorably to the 15 percent increase in average worldwide
drilling activity. The majority of the consolidated base revenue growth was
reported in the United States and Europe/Africa. The period-to-period increase
in revenues was also attributable to acquired operations and, to a lesser
extent, the impact of improved pricing and market penetration experienced in the
Company's oilfield operations.

Gross profit increased $300.6 million, or 40 percent, from 2000 due
primarily to the higher reported revenue levels. Gross profit margins rose over
two percentage points to 29 percent of revenues in 2001, reflecting the impact
of price increases and higher sales volumes on fixed cost coverage in the
Oilfield Products and Services segment. A higher proportion of oilfield revenues
in 2001, which generally generate higher gross profit margins than the
distribution business, also favorably affected the overall percentage.

Operating expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative
expenses, increased $128.2 million, or 24 percent, from the amount reported in
2000. The majority of the overall increase in operating expenses is attributable
to the expansion in base business volumes, which contributed to a 16 percent
increase in average personnel levels over 2000. Incremental operating expenses
associated with acquired operations contributed to the higher expense levels, to
a lesser extent, accounting for approximately 40 percent of the variance from
the prior year. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues declined almost
one percentage point from 2000, reflecting higher fixed cost coverage related to
the overall sales and administrative functions in both of the Company's
operating segments.

Net interest expense, which represents interest expense less interest
income, increased $7.6 million from 2000. Average debt levels rose $158.9
million year-over-year, reflecting borrowings necessary to finance 15
acquisitions in 2001. The Company's average borrowing rate declined
approximately 70 basis points in 2001, partially offsetting the impact of the
increase in average debt levels on the interest expense variance.

The effective tax rate for 2001 approximated 32 percent, which is below
both the 34 percent effective rate reported in the prior year and the U.S.
statutory rate. The effective tax rate in 2001 is below the U.S. statutory rate
due to the impact of M-I's U.S. partnership earnings for which the minority
partner is directly responsible for its related income taxes. The Company

16

properly consolidates the pre-tax income related to the minority partner's share
of U.S. partnership earnings but excludes the related tax provision. The
effective tax rate in 2001 declined from the prior year, primarily due to a
favorable shift in the geographic mix of pre-tax income toward lower rate
jurisdictions.

Minority interests reflect the portion of the results of majority-owned
operations which are applicable to the minority interest partners. Minority
interests in 2001 was $70.5 million, an increase of $34.2 million from 2000
reflecting primarily the improvement in profitability of the M-I joint venture.

2000 Versus 1999

Total revenues for 2000 increased $954.8 million, or 53 percent, above
the prior year as higher demand for oil and gas and, corresponding, higher
commodity prices contributed to a 30 percent increase in worldwide drilling
activity. The year-over-year improvement was also attributable to incremental
revenues from acquired distribution operations and, to a lesser extent, the
impact of price increases implemented throughout the year. Excluding the effect
of acquired and divested operations, revenues grew 35 percent above the prior
year levels with improvement reported across all operating units and geographic
areas. Approximately two-thirds of the base business growth was generated in
North America, resulting from a 46 percent improvement in the average number of
rigs drilling for oil and natural gas.

Gross profit increased $277.2 million, or 59 percent, from the 1999
fiscal year. Period-to-period, gross profit margins improved one percentage
point reflecting the impact of higher sales volumes on fixed cost coverage,
increased absorption in the Company's manufacturing operations and price
increases implemented during the year. Gross profit margins increased in both
the oilfield and the distribution segments; however, the higher proportion of
distribution revenues, which traditionally generate lower profit margins than
the oilfield businesses, impacted the overall percentage.

Operating expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative
expenses, increased $143.7 million from the amount reported in 1999. The
majority of the increase in operating expenses resulted from incremental costs
of the acquired operations and the impact of higher profitability levels, which
resulted in increased profit sharing and incentive accruals. Increased operating
expenses associated with higher volumes, primarily personnel additions and other
variable costs, also contributed to the period-to-period increase. Operating
expenses as a percentage of revenues declined two percentage points from the
prior year reflecting higher fixed cost coverage related to the overall sales
and administrative functions.

Net interest expense, which represents interest expense less interest
income, decreased $3.9 million from the prior year. In 1999, the Company
utilized proceeds from the sale of an interest in M-I to repay outstanding
indebtedness, resulting in the reported decline. The reduction was partially
offset by increased borrowings in 2000 to finance acquisitions and general
working capital needs, which increased as a result of the revenue growth
experienced by the Company.

The effective tax rate for 2000 approximated 34 percent, which was a
decrease from the 43 percent effective rate reported in 1999 and lower than the
U.S. statutory rate. The effective tax rate in 2000 was below the U.S. statutory
rate due to the impact of M-I's U.S. partnership earnings for which the minority
partner is directly responsible for its related income taxes. The effective tax
rate was below the prior year rate due primarily to the impact in 1999 of
non-deductible costs associated with the sale of a minority ownership interest
in M-I.

Minority interests reflect the portion of the results of majority-owned
operations which are applicable to the minority interest partners. Minority
interests increased $30.2 million from the prior year due to the higher
profitability level of the M-I operations and, to a lesser extent, the period of
time the operations were owned jointly with a minority partner.

17

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

At December 31, 2001, cash and cash equivalents equaled $44.7 million.
During 2001, the Company's operations generated $205.8 million of cash flows,
which is $148.1 million above the amount reported in 2000. The improvement is
related to the significant increase in profitability levels experienced by the
Company and, to a lesser extent, lower investment in working capital,
particularly accounts receivable.

In 2001, cash flows used in investing activities totaled $359.6
million, primarily attributable to amounts required to fund acquisitions as well
as the Company's capital expenditure needs. During 2001, the Company invested
$109.4 million in property, plant and equipment, net of cash proceeds arising
from certain asset disposals. Projected net capital expenditures for 2002 are
expected to decline to approximately $75.0 million, as reduced drilling activity
is expected to impact the level of investment in manufacturing and rental tool
equipment. Capital spending in 2002 is expected to primarily consist of spending
for routine additions of property and equipment to support the Company's
operations and maintenance of the Company's capital equipment base.
Additionally, the Company completed 15 acquisitions during 2001 in exchange for
cash consideration of $248.1 million. Management continues to evaluate
opportunities to acquire products or businesses complementary to the Company's
operations. These acquisitions, if they arise, may involve the use of cash or,
depending upon the size and terms of the acquisition, may require debt or equity
financing.

Cash flows required to fund investing activities exceeded cash flows
from operations, resulting in incremental borrowings of $122.6 million under new
credit facilities. The incremental cash requirements of the Company were funded
with proceeds from a $250.0 million public debt offering and a $75.0 million
floating rate note offering. Proceeds from the offerings were also used to
reduce short-term borrowings as well as amounts outstanding under revolving
credit agreements.

The Company's primary internal source of liquidity is cash flow
generated from operations. Cash flow generated by operations is primarily
influenced by the level of worldwide drilling activity, which affects
profitability levels and working capital requirements. Capacity under revolving
credit agreements is also available, if necessary, to fund operating or
investing activities. The Company has various revolving credit facilities in the
United States. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had $118.3 million of funds
available under these facilities for future operating or investing needs. In the
first half of 2002, the Company expects to renegotiate the U.S. revolving credit
facilities, which expire in December 2002. The Company also has revolving credit
facilities in place outside the United States, which are generally used to
finance local operating needs. At year-end, the Company had available borrowing
capacity of $38.1 million under the non-U.S. borrowing facilities.

The Company's external sources of liquidity include debt and equity
financing in the public capital markets, if needed. The Company carries an
investment-grade credit rating with recognized rating agencies, generally
providing the Company with access to debt markets. The Company's overall
borrowing capacity is, in part, dependent on maintaining compliance with
financial covenants under the various credit agreements. As of year-end, the
Company was well within the covenant compliance thresholds under its various
loan indentures, as amended, providing the ability to access available borrowing
capacity. Management believes funds generated by operations, amounts available
under existing credit facilities and external sources of liquidity will be
sufficient to finance capital expenditures and working capital needs of the
existing operations for the foreseeable future.

The Company has not engaged in off-balance sheet financing arrangements
through special purpose entities and the consolidation of the Company's minority
ownership positions would not result in an increase in reported leverage ratios.
The Company has no contractual arrangements in place that could result in the
issuance of additional shares of the Company's common stock at a future date
other than the Company's stock option program, which is discussed in Note 10,
"Employee Stock Options."

The Company believes that it has sufficient existing manufacturing
capacity to meet current demand for its products and services. Additionally,
inflation has not had a material effect on the Company in recent years, and is
expected to have a modest impact on the operations in the foreseeable future.
The Company has generally been able to offset most of the effects of inflation
through productivity gains, cost reductions and price increases.

18

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

The following table summarizes the Company's debt maturities and future
minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases having initial terms in
excess of one year (in thousands):

From time to time, the Company issues standby letters of credit and bid
and performance bonds. At December 31, 2001, the Company had $35.2 million of
these instruments outstanding, primarily performance bonds, of which $27.8
million expire in 2002. Management does not expect any material amounts to be
drawn on these instruments.

The Company routinely establishes and reviews the adequacy of reserves
for estimated future environmental clean-up costs for properties currently or
previously operated by the Company. Although the Company believes it is in
substantial compliance with environmental protection laws, estimating the costs
of compliance with these regulations is difficult considering the continual
changes in environmental legislation. In connection with most business
acquisitions, the Company obtains contractual indemnifications from the seller
related to environmental matters. These indemnifications generally provide for
the reimbursement of environmental clean-up costs incurred by the Company for
events occurring or circumstances existing prior to the purchase date, whether
the event or circumstance was known or unknown at that time. A substantial
portion of the Company's total environmental exposure is associated with its M-I
operations, which are subject to various indemnifications from former owners.
While actual future environmental costs may differ from estimated liabilities
recorded at December 31, 2001, the Company does not believe that these
differences will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations, subject to the indemnifications in place. In the unlikely
event that the parties providing indemnifications do not fulfill their
obligations, such event could result in the recognition of up to $25.0 million
in additional environmental exposure, impacting earnings and cash flows in
future periods.

Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the Argentine government issued a
decree that eliminated the U.S. dollar as Argentina's monetary benchmark and
converted U.S. dollar-denominated obligations to peso-denominated obligations
using mandated conversion rates. The Company's operations in Argentina are U.S.
dollar-functional, with the majority of sales to customers invoiced in U.S.
dollars. While the Company does not anticipate that this event will have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations, there can be no assurance that economic conditions in
Argentina will not worsen, which could impact future earnings.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the
Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates on an on-going
basis, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

19

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect
its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its
consolidated financial statements:

The Company extends credit to customers and other parties in the normal
course of business. Management regularly reviews outstanding receivables,
and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful
accounts. In evaluating the level of established reserves, management makes
judgments regarding the parties' ability to make required payments, economic
events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties
change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available,
adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required.

The Company has made significant investments in inventory to service its
customers around the world. On a routine basis, the Company uses judgments
in determining the level of reserves required to state inventory at the
lower of cost or market. Management's estimates are primarily influenced by
technological innovations, market activity levels and the physical condition
of products. Changes in these or other factors may result in adjustments to
the carrying value of inventory.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for differences between
the book basis and tax basis of the net assets of the Company. In providing
for deferred taxes, management considers current tax regulations, estimates
of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. In certain
cases, management has established reserves to reduce deferred tax assets to
estimated realizable value. If tax regulations, operating results or the
ability to implement tax planning strategies vary, adjustments to the
carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required.

The Company records liabilities for environmental obligations when remedial
efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Management's
estimates are based on currently enacted laws and regulations. As more
information becomes available or environmental laws and regulations change,
such liabilities may be required to be adjusted. Additionally, in connection
with acquisitions, the Company generally obtains indemnifications from the
seller related to environmental matters. If the indemnifying parties do not
fulfill their obligations, adjustments of recorded amounts may be required.

The Company maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of its business
and operations. The Company retains a portion of losses that occur through
the use of deductibles and retentions under self-insurance programs.
Management regularly reviews estimates of reported and unreported claims and
provides for losses through insurance reserves. As claims develop and
additional information becomes available, adjustments to loss reserves may
be required.

20

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which is effective for the
Company beginning January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions relating to the
disposal of a segment of a business of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
30. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have
a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

In July 2001, the FASB released SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations," which is required to be adopted by the Company no later
than January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143 addresses the financial accounting and
reporting for retirement obligations and costs associated with tangible
long-lived assets. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS No.
143 to determine the standard's impact, if any, on its financial statements upon
adoption.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
in July 2001 which addresses financial accounting and reporting for goodwill and
other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and some intangibles will
no longer be amortized to earnings but will be tested for impairment. While most
provisions of SFAS No. 142 are effective for the Company beginning January 1,
2002, goodwill and intangible assets acquired subsequent to June 30, 2001 were
subject immediately to the provisions of the statement. The adoption of SFAS No.
142 will result in the elimination of $15.7 million of goodwill amortization
recognized in fiscal 2001, or $9.2 million net of taxes and minority interests,
with no other material impact anticipated on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires that derivatives
be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for
designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The adoption of SFAS No.
133 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE MARKET RISK DISCLOSURES

The Company is exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates
and foreign exchange rates and enters into various hedging transactions to
mitigate these risks. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading
or speculative purposes. See Note 7, "Financial Instruments," for additional
discussion of hedging instruments.

The Company's exposure to interest rate changes is managed through the
use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt and by entering into
interest rate contracts, from time to time, on a portion of its long-term
borrowings. The Company had no interest rate contracts outstanding as of
December 31, 2001. The fair value of interest rate contracts as of December 31,
2000 was not material. At December 31, 2001, 28 percent of the Company's
long-term debt carried a variable interest rate. Management believes that
significant interest rate changes will not have a material near-term impact on
the Company's future earnings or cash flows.

The Company's exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates is managed
primarily through the use of forward exchange contracts. These contracts
increase or decrease in value as foreign exchange rates change, to protect the
value of the underlying transactions denominated in foreign currencies. All
currency contracts are components of the Company's hedging program and are
entered into for the sole purpose of hedging an existing or anticipated currency
exposure. The gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the value of
the related exposures. In some areas, where hedging is not cost effective, the
Company addresses foreign currency exposure utilizing working capital
management.

The Company utilizes a "Value-at-Risk" ("VAR") model to determine the
maximum potential one-day loss in the fair value of its foreign exchange
sensitive financial instruments. The VAR model estimates were made assuming
normal market conditions and a 95 percent confidence level. The Company's VAR
computations are based on the historical price movements in various currencies
(a "historical" simulation) during the year. The model includes all of the
Company's foreign exchange derivative contracts. Anticipated transactions, firm
commitments and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which
certain of these instruments are intended to hedge, were excluded from the
model. The VAR model is a risk analysis tool and does not purport to represent
actual losses in fair value that will be incurred by the Company, nor does it
consider the potential effect of favorable changes in market factors. The
estimated maximum potential one-day loss in fair value of currency sensitive
instruments, calculated using the VAR model, was not material to the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

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 Smith
International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Smith International, Inc. (the "Company") provides premium products and
services to the oil and gas exploration and production industry, the
petrochemical industry and other industrial markets. The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly and majority-owned
subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates in which ownership interest ranges from
20 to 50 percent, and the Company exercises significant influence over operating
and financial policies, are accounted for on the equity method. All other
investments are carried at cost, which does not exceed the estimated net
realizable value of such investments. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

For the years presented, each of the Company's acquisitions has been
recorded using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the acquired
operations have been included in the results of operations since their
respective dates of acquisition.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosed amounts of contingent assets and liabilities and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Management believes the most
significant estimates and assumptions are associated with the valuation of
accounts receivable, inventories and deferred taxes as well as the determination
of liabilities related to environmental obligations and self-insurance programs.
If the underlying estimates and assumptions, upon which the financial statements
are based, change in future periods, actual amounts may differ from those
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method for the majority of the
Company's inventories. The remaining inventories are costed under the last-in,
first-out ("LIFO") or average cost methods. Inventory costs consist of
materials, labor and factory overhead.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets, consisting of rental equipment and property, plant and
equipment, are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The Company
computes depreciation on fixed assets using principally the straight-line
method. The estimated useful lives used in computing depreciation generally
range from 20 to 40 years for buildings, three to 25 years for machinery and
equipment, and five to 10 years for rental equipment. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the lives of the leases or the estimated useful lives of the
improvements, whichever is shorter. For income tax purposes, accelerated methods
of depreciation are used.

Costs of major renewals and betterments are capitalized as fixed
assets. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are charged
to expense when incurred. When fixed assets are sold or retired, the remaining
cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the
resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations.

28

Goodwill

Goodwill, which represents the excess of costs over the fair value of
net assets acquired, has historically been amortized on a straight-line basis
over 20 to 40 years. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
goodwill recorded after June 30, 2001 has not been amortized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future cash flows
associated with the asset will be compared to the asset's carrying amount to
determine if an impairment exists.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

Gains and losses resulting from balance sheet translation of operations
outside the United States where the applicable foreign currency is the
functional currency are included as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income within stockholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting
from balance sheet translation of operations outside the United States where the
U.S. dollar is the functional currency are included in the consolidated
statements of operations.

All foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized
currently in the consolidated statements of operations.

Financial Instruments

The nature of the Company's business activities involves the management
of various financial and market risks, including those related to changes in
currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company occasionally employs
derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts, foreign
exchange options and interest rate contracts to mitigate or eliminate certain of
those risks. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for
speculative purposes.

On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires that derivatives
be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for
designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The adoption of SFAS No.
133 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

The Company records changes in fair market value related to fair value
hedges, which includes foreign exchange contracts, to general and administrative
expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company
records changes in value related to cash flow hedges, which includes foreign
exchange contracts and interest rate swaps, to accumulated other comprehensive
income.

Environmental Obligations

Expenditures for environmental obligations that relate to current
operations are expensed or capitalized, as appropriate. Liabilities are recorded
when environmental clean-up efforts are probable and their cost is reasonably
estimated, and are adjusted as further information is obtained. Such estimates
are based on currently enacted laws and regulations and are not discounted to
present value.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability
approach for financial accounting and income tax reporting based on enacted tax
rates. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.

29

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenues are composed of product sales, rental, service
and other revenues. The Company recognizes product sales revenues upon delivery
to the customer, net of applicable provisions for returns. Rental, service and
other revenues are recorded when such services are performed.

Minority Interests

The Company records minority interest expense which reflects the
portion of the earnings of majority-owned operations which are applicable to the
minority interest partners. The minority interest amount primarily represents
the share of the M-I profits associated with the minority partners' interests in
those operations. To a lesser extent, minority interests include the portion of
CE Franklin Ltd. and United Engineering Services LLC earnings applicable to the
minority shareholders.

Reclassifications

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets," which is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2002. SFAS No.
144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting
provisions relating to the disposal of a segment of a business of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 30. The Company does not anticipate that the
adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

In July 2001, the FASB released SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations," which is required to be adopted by the Company no later
than January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143 addresses the financial accounting and
reporting for retirement obligations and costs associated with tangible
long-lived assets. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS No.
143 to determine the standard's impact, if any, on its financial statements upon
adoption.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
in July 2001 which addresses financial accounting and reporting for goodwill and
other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and some intangibles will
no longer be amortized to earnings but will be tested for impairment. While most
provisions of SFAS No. 142 are effective for the Company beginning January 1,
2002, goodwill and intangible assets acquired subsequent to June 30, 2001 were
subject immediately to the provisions of the statement. The adoption of SFAS No.
142 will result in the elimination of $15.7 million of goodwill amortization
recognized in fiscal 2001, or $9.2 million net of taxes and minority interests,
with no other material impact anticipated on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

During 2001, the Company completed 15 acquisitions in exchange for
aggregate cash consideration of $248.1 million and the assumption of certain
liabilities. On a combined basis, the minority partner in M-I contributed $43.4
million of cash to the joint venture in connection with transactions completed
during the year. Significant 2001 transactions include:

On January 31, 2001, the Company acquired substantially all of the U.S. net
assets of Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Corporation ("Van Leeuwen") for cash
consideration of $41.1 million. Van Leeuwen, a leading provider of pipe,
valves and fittings to the refining, petrochemical and power generation
industries, has been integrated into the Company's Distribution segment
operations.

On August 22, 2001, M-I acquired BW Group plc ("BW Group"), based in
Scotland, for cash consideration of $20.5 million and the assumption of
certain indebtedness. BW Group provides drilling and completion fluids and
related engineering services to the North Sea market.

On October 2, 2001, M-I acquired The SulfaTreat Company, a natural gas
production services company headquartered in the United States, for cash
consideration of $35.0 million.

On October 23, 2001, M-I acquired the oilfield and industrial screen
operations of Madison Filter Belgium S.A. ("Madison") for cash
consideration of $93.5 million. Madison, which includes United Wire Ltd.
based in Scotland and Southwestern Wire Cloth, Inc. based in the United
States, manufactures and markets screens for oilfield shakers and provides
screening products for use in a broad range of industrial markets.

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the
net assets acquired amounted to $137.1 million, which has been recorded as
goodwill. Of this amount, $135.8 million relates to the Oilfield Products and
Services segment and $1.3 million is associated with the Distribution segment.
Goodwill associated with 2001 acquisitions completed prior to July 1, was
amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years; however, goodwill related to
transactions completed subsequent to that date was not amortized in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. The purchase price allocation related to
certain of the 2001 acquisitions is based upon preliminary information and is
subject to change when additional data concerning final asset and liability
valuations is obtained. Material changes in the preliminary allocations are not
anticipated by management.

During 2000, the Company acquired six operations in exchange for
aggregate cash consideration of $145.4 million and the assumption of certain
liabilities. The minority partner in M-I contributed $21.6 million of cash to
the joint venture in connection with an acquisition. Significant 2000
transactions include:

On January 15, 2000, the Company acquired Texas Mill Supply and
Manufacturing, Inc. ("Texas Mill"), in exchange for cash consideration of
$30.0 million. Texas Mill was a Houston, Texas based-provider of industrial
mill and safety products and management services primarily to the refining,
power generation and petrochemical markets.

On November 30, 2000, M-I acquired the drilling fluids and solids-control
assets of Bolland & Cia. S.A., based in Argentina, for cash consideration
of $25.5 million.

On December 15, 2000, M-I acquired the Sweco Division of Emerson ("Sweco")
for cash consideration of $75.0 million. Sweco manufactures, markets and
services specialty separation equipment for oilfield applications and a
broad range of industrial markets.

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the
net assets acquired amounted to $111.9 million, which has been recorded as
goodwill. Of this amount, $95.3 million relates to the Oilfield Products and
Services segment and $16.6 million is associated with the Distribution segment.
Goodwill associated with 2000 acquisitions was amortized on a straight-line
basis over 20 years.

31

During 1999, the Company acquired six operations in exchange for
aggregate consideration of $64.0 million, including cash and common stock, and
the assumption of certain liabilities. In addition, the Company repaid a $265.0
million promissory note issued in connection with the 1998 acquisition of the
remaining 36 percent interest in M-I. Significant 1999 transactions include:

On May 28, 1999, the Company acquired certain operations of ConEmsco, Inc.
("CE"), and CE's majority ownership interest in CE Franklin Ltd.,
businesses primarily engaged in oilfield supply and distribution in the
United States and Canada. In connection with the acquisition, the Company
issued 548,527 shares of common stock and a $30.0 million note payable to
the seller which was subsequently repaid.

On July 25, 1999, the Company completed a transaction with Schlumberger
Limited ("Schlumberger") related to the combination of certain M-I and
Dowell drilling fluid operations under a joint venture arrangement.
Schlumberger contributed its non-U.S. Dowell drilling fluid operations,
including an asset equalization payment of $34.7 million, and paid cash
consideration of $280.0 million to the Company in exchange for a 40 percent
minority ownership interest in the combined operations (collectively, the
"M-I Transaction").

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the
net assets acquired amounted to $68.6 million, which has been recorded as
goodwill. Of this amount, $48.2 million relates to the Oilfield Products and
Services segment and $20.4 million is associated with the Distribution segment.
Goodwill associated with 1999 acquisitions was amortized on a straight-line
basis over 40 years.

The following unaudited pro forma supplemental information presents
consolidated results of operations as if the Company's significant current and
prior year acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2000. The unaudited pro forma
data is based on historical information and does not include estimated cost
savings; therefore, it does not purport to be indicative of the results of
operations had the combinations been in effect at the dates indicated or of
future results for the combined entities (in thousands, except per share
amounts):

The following schedule summarizes investing activities related to 2001,
2000 and 1999 acquisitions included in the consolidated statements of cash
flows:

3. NON-RECURRING ITEMS

During 1999, the Company recognized a non-recurring gain of $81.4
million, or $45.0 million on an after-tax basis, associated with the M-I
Transaction in accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
51. The non-recurring gain is presented net of transaction-related charges of
$25.4 million, including resulting profit-sharing and incentive

32

requirements, assessed fines, professional fees and other related costs. The
Company also recorded a non-recurring net gain of $2.6 million ($0.2 million
after-tax) associated with disposal of an industrial bentonite mining operation
which was partially offset by unrelated charges to write-off certain assets and
settle a customer receivable.

4. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect
to the potential dilution of earnings which could have occurred if additional
shares were issued for stock option exercises under the treasury stock method.
Outstanding employee stock options of 0.2 million and 0.5 million at December
31, 2001 and 1999, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per common share as the exercise price was greater than the average
market price for the Company's stock during the corresponding period.

The following schedule reconciles the income and shares used in the
basic and diluted EPS computations (in thousands, except per share data):

5. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following at December 31:

33

6. DEBT

The following summarizes the Company's outstanding debt at December 31:

34

The Company's short-term borrowings consist of amounts outstanding
under lines of credit and short-term loans. Certain subsidiaries of the Company
have unsecured credit facilities with non-U.S. banks aggregating $95.1 million.
At December 31, 2001, $38.1 million of additional borrowing capacity was
available under these facilities. These borrowings had a weighted average
interest rate of eight percent and 11 percent at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

At December 31, 2001, the Company had $200.0 million of unsecured
revolving credit agreements in addition to the facilities discussed above. These
agreements, which mature in December 2002, provide for the election of interest
at a base rate or a Eurodollar rate of LIBOR plus 30 basis points and require
the payment of a quarterly commitment fee of one-tenth of one percent of the
unutilized credit facility. The interest and commitment fee percentages are
determined based upon the senior debt rating of the Company, as defined. As of
December 31, 2001, the borrowing capacity under these lines of credit
approximated $118.3 million.

In February 2001, the Company completed a public offering of $250.0
million of 6.75 percent senior notes. The notes are redeemable by the Company,
in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity at a redemption price equal
to accrued interest plus the greater of the principal amount or the present
value of the remaining principal and interest payments. The Company received net
proceeds of $246.7 million from the offering, which was used to repay short-term
borrowings and indebtedness under revolving credit agreements.

In October 2001, the Company completed a $75.0 million floating rate,
senior note offering. These notes mature in October 2003 and accrue interest
based on a variable rate, subject to quarterly adjustments, equal to LIBOR plus
112.5 basis points. Proceeds from the offering were used to finance
acquisitions.

The Company was in compliance with its loan covenants under the various
loan indentures, as amended, at December 31, 2001. The indentures relating to
its long-term debt contain certain covenants restricting the payment of cash
dividends to the Company's common stockholders based on net income and operating
cash flow formulas, as defined. The Company has not paid dividends on its common
stock since the first quarter of 1986.

Interest paid during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
amounted to $39.4 million, $35.4 million and $34.0 million, respectively.

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Interest Rate Contracts

From time to time, the Company enters into interest rate contracts with
the intent of managing its exposure to interest rate risk. Interest rate
contracts are agreements between two parties for the exchange of interest
payments on a notional principal amount and agreed upon fixed or floating rates,
for defined time periods. Realized gains and losses from interest rate contracts
are recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations. Market
value gains and losses on designated fixed rate interest contracts are deferred
to accumulated other comprehensive income. In the unlikely event that the
counterparty fails to perform under an outstanding contract, the Company bears
the credit risk that payments due to the Company may not be collected.

At December 31, 2000, the Company had notional principal amounts of
interest rate swaps on outstanding debt of $78.6 million. These agreements,
which were hedges against certain obligations, terminated in 2001 and no
interest rate contracts were outstanding at December 31, 2001.

Foreign Currency Contracts and Options

From time to time, the Company enters into spot and forward contracts
as a hedge against foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and
foreign currency commitments. The terms of these contracts generally do not
exceed one year. For designated and undesignated fair value hedges, settlement
and market value gains and losses are recognized currently through earnings, and
the resulting amounts generally offset foreign exchange gains or losses on the
related accounts. Gains or losses on contracts are deferred to accumulated other
comprehensive income if the transaction qualifies as a designated cash flow
hedge. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, foreign exchange contracts outstanding
totaled $43.1 million and $42.9 million, respectively.

35

In 1999 and 2000, the Company purchased foreign exchange option
contracts, with terms which generally did not exceed one year, to hedge certain
operating exposures. Premiums paid under these contracts were expensed over the
life of the option contract. Gains arising on these options were recognized at
the time the options were exercised.

Fair Value

The recorded and fair values of long-term debt and interest rate swaps
at December 31 are as follows:

The fair value of the remaining financial instruments, including cash
and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, short-term debt and foreign
currency contracts, approximates the carrying value due to the short-term nature
of these instruments.

8. INCOME TAXES

The geographical sources of income before income taxes and minority
interests for the three years ended December 31, 2001 were as follows:

The income tax provision is summarized as follows:

Deferred taxes are principally attributable to temporary differences
related to depreciation expense, accrued liabilities, inventories and net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

36

The consolidated effective tax rate (as a percentage of income before
income taxes and minority interests) is reconciled to the U.S. federal statutory
tax rate as follows:

The components of deferred taxes at December 31 are as follows:

37

Total foreign operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2001, are
approximately $27.3 million, of which $22.6 million has been offset by recording
a valuation reserve. These losses are available to reduce the future tax
liabilities of their respective foreign entities. Approximately $10.0 million of
these losses will carryforward indefinitely, while the remaining losses expire
at various dates. The Company's valuation allowance was reduced by $3.5 million
in 2001 and $1.4 million in 2000 due to the expiration of net operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards outside the United States.

Income taxes paid during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and
1999, amounted to $87.9 million, $23.0 million and $33.7 million, respectively.

The Company has provided additional taxes for the anticipated
repatriation of certain earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. Undistributed
earnings above the amounts upon which additional taxes have been provided, which
approximated $35.0 million at December 31, 2001, are intended to be permanently
invested by the Company. It is not practicable to determine the amount of
applicable taxes that would be incurred if any of such earnings were
repatriated.

9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Treasury Share Repurchases

During 2001, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share
buyback program which allows for the repurchase of up to five million shares of
common stock, subject to regulatory issues, market considerations and other
factors. During 2001, the Company repurchased 536,200 shares of common stock at
an aggregate cost of $21.4 million. The acquired shares have been added to the
Company's treasury stock holdings and may be used in the future for acquisitions
or other corporate purposes. Future repurchases under the program may be
executed from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions.

Stockholder Rights Plan

On June 8, 2000, the Company adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan (the
"Rights Plan") to replace a similar plan which expired on June 19, 2000. As part
of the Rights Plan, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of one
preferred stock purchase right ("Right") for each share of the Company's common
stock outstanding on June 20, 2000. The Board also authorized the issuance of
one such Right for each share of the Company's common stock issued after June
20, 2000 until the occurrence of certain events.

Each Right entitles the holder thereof (except an Acquiring Person) to
purchase, at an exercise price of $350, shares of the Company's common stock
having a market value of twice the Right's exercise price subject to adjustment.
The Rights are exercisable upon the occurrence of certain events related to a
person acquiring or announcing the intention to acquire beneficial ownership of
20 percent or more of the Company's common stock. The acquiring person will not
be entitled to exercise these Rights. In addition, if the Company is involved in
a merger or other business combination transaction, or sells 50 percent or more
of its assets or earning power to another entity, each Right will entitle its
holder to purchase, at the Right's then current exercise price, shares of common
stock of such other entity having a value of twice the Right's exercise price.

The Rights are subject to redemption at the option of the Board of
Directors at a price of $0.01 per Right until the occurrence of certain events.
The Rights currently trade with the Company's common stock, have no voting or
dividend rights and expire on June 8, 2010.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

As of December 31, 2001, accumulated other comprehensive income in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes $22.9 million of cumulative
currency translation losses, $1.0 million of cumulative changes in unrealized
fair value of derivatives and $0.9 million of cumulative minimum pension
liability adjustments. Approximately $0.5 million of the cumulative changes in
unrealized fair value of derivatives is expected to be realized in the
consolidated statement of operations in 2002.

38

10. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS

As of December 31, 2001, the Company had outstanding stock options
granted under the 1989 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan ("1989 Plan").
Options are generally granted at the fair market value on the date of grant with
matters such as vesting periods and expiration of options determined on a
grant-by-grant basis. The options, exercisable at various dates through December
2011, are conditioned upon continued employment.

The Company has adopted the reporting standards of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 established financial
accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation and for
transactions in which equity instruments are issued to non-employees for the
acquisition of goods and services. This standard requires, among other things,
that compensation cost be calculated for fixed stock options at the grant date
by determining fair value using an option-pricing model. The Company has the
option of recognizing the compensation cost over the vesting period as an
expense in the consolidated statements of operations or making pro forma
disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company continues to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25 and related interpretations in accounting for the 1989 Plan and, accordingly,
no compensation cost has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. Had the Company elected to apply the accounting standards
of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have
approximated the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per
share amounts):

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which resulted in a weighted
average fair value of $23.77, $30.66 and $15.08 for grants made during the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The following assumptions
were used for option grants in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively; dividend yield
of 0.0 percent, 0.0 percent and 1.7 percent; expected volatility of 47.0

5.4 percent and 6.8 percent; and an expected life of six years. The compensation

A summary of the Company's stock option plans as of December 31, 2001,
2000 and 1999, and changes during those years is presented below:

The number of outstanding fixed stock options exercisable at December
31, 2000 and 1999 was 825,307 and 1,100,841, respectively. These options had a
weighted average exercise price of $37.98 and $26.84 at December 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The following summarizes information about fixed stock
options outstanding at December 31, 2001:

At December 31, 2001, there were no significant additional shares of
common stock reserved under the 1989 Plan for the future granting of stock
options, awarding of additional restricted stock options and/or awarding of
additional stock appreciation rights.

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Pension Plans

The Company has historically maintained a number of pension plans
covering certain U.S. and non-U.S. employees. Future benefit accruals and the
addition of new participants under most plans were frozen in 1987 and 1998, with
distributions made in 2000 and 2001 to settle the majority of the outstanding
benefit obligations. In connection with the acquisition of Van Leeuwen in 2001,
the Company assumed certain pension obligations related to its employees.
Remaining benefits payable under the Smith and Van Leeuwen pension plans
constitute the only significant obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2001.

Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company and its subsidiaries provide certain health care benefits
for retired employees. Many of the employees who retire from the Company are
eligible for these benefits.

The Smith International, Inc. Retiree Medical Plan ("Smith Medical
Plan") provides postretirement medical benefits to retirees and their spouses.
The retiree medical plan has an annual limitation (the "cap") on the dollar
amount of the Company's portion of the cost of benefits incurred by retirees
under the Smith Medical Plan. The remaining cost of benefits in excess of the
cap is the responsibility of the participants. The cap will be adjusted annually
for inflation, which is currently assumed to be four percent.

M-I provides medical coverage to eligible retirees and their dependents
under the M-I Drilling Fluids Retiree Medical Plan ("M-I Medical Plan").
Eligibility for inclusion in that plan, however, was closed as of January 1,
1994, to the majority of M-I's employees. M-I contributes to the cost of
benefits under this plan; however, these costs are reviewed annually for
inflation, and limited to a maximum five percent increase in M-I's contribution
per year. Any costs in excess of M-I's maximum contribution are the
responsibility of the retirees or their dependents.

Although Wilson provides postretirement medical coverage to eligible
retirees and their spouses, new employees have not been eligible for inclusion
under this program since February 1987. Eligible individuals are able to
continue primary medical coverage under Wilson's group insurance program until
reaching the age of 65 at which time such coverage becomes secondary for
participants electing to remain in the program. Participating retirees are
required to contribute a portion of the insurance premiums under the program
with Wilson responsible for any costs in excess of those contributions.

41

The following tables disclose the changes in benefit obligations and
plan assets during the periods presented and reconcile the funded status of the
plans to the amounts included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets:

Assumptions used for financial reporting purposes to compute net
benefit expense and its components are as follows:

The health care cost trend rate assumption can have a significant
effect on the amounts reported. An increase of one percentage point in the
health care cost trend rate would increase the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components
of the postretirement benefits expense by $2.2 million and $0.2 million,

42

respectively. A decrease of one percentage point in the health care cost trend
rate would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the
aggregate of the service and interest cost components of the postretirement
benefits expense by $1.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

12. RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company established the Smith International, Inc. 401(k) Retirement
Plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of all eligible employees. Employees may
voluntarily contribute up to 12 percent of compensation, as defined, to the
Plan. The Company makes retirement, matching and, in certain cases,
discretionary matching contributions to each participant's account under the
Plan. Participants receive a full match of the first 1 1/2 percent of their
contributions along with a retirement contribution ranging from two percent to
six percent of their qualified compensation. In addition, the Board of Directors
may provide discretionary matching contributions based upon financial
performance to participants who are employed by the Company on December 31.

M-I has a Company Profit-Sharing and Savings Plan (the "M-I Plan")
under which participating employees may contribute up to 12 percent of their
compensation, as defined. Under the terms of the M-I Plan, qualified employees
are eligible to receive basic, matching and profit-sharing contributions with
the approval of the Employee Benefits Committee, and in certain instances, the
Board of Directors. Participants are eligible to receive a basic contribution
equal to three percent of qualified compensation, and a full match of the first
1 1/2 percent of their contributions. In addition, the Board of Directors may
provide discretionary profit-sharing contributions based upon financial
performance to participants who are employed by M-I on December 31.

The Company recognized expense totaling $25.5 million, $20.7 million
and $12.4 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, related to Company
contributions to the plans.

Certain of the Company's subsidiaries sponsor various defined
contribution plans. The Company's contributions under these plans for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, were immaterial.

13. INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

The Company manufactures and markets premium products and services to
the oil and gas exploration and production industry, the petrochemical industry
and other industrial markets. The Company aggregates its operations into two
reportable segments: Oilfield Products and Services and Distribution. The
Oilfield Products and Services segment consists of three business units: M-I,
which provides drilling and completion fluid systems and services,
solids-control and separation equipment and waste-management services; Smith
Bits, which manufactures and sells three-cone and diamond drill bits; and Smith
Services, which manufactures and markets products and services used for
drilling, workover, well completion and well re-entry operations.

The Distribution segment consists of one business unit: Wilson, which
markets pipe, valves, fittings, mill, safety and other maintenance products to
energy and industrial markets.

The principal markets for these segments include all major oil and gas
producing regions of the world including North America, Latin America,
Europe/Africa, the Middle East and the Far East. The Company's customers include
major multi-national, independent and national, or state-owned, oil companies.
In addition, the Company provides products and services to customers in the
petrochemical and chemical industries and other industrial markets.

43

The following table presents financial information for each reportable
segment:

The following table presents consolidated revenues by country:

44

The following table presents the net long-lived assets by country:

The Company's revenues are derived principally from uncollateralized
sales to customers in the oil and gas industry, the petrochemical industry and
other industrial markets. This industry concentration has the potential to
impact the Company's exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively,
because customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other
conditions. The creditworthiness of this customer base is strong, and the
Company has not experienced significant credit losses on such receivables.

The Company's expenditures for research and engineering activities are
attributable to the Company's Oilfield Products and Services segment and totaled
$50.8 million in 2001, $42.4 million in 2000 and $39.0 million in 1999.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

The Company routinely enters into operating and capital leases for
certain of its facilities and equipment. Amounts related to assets under capital
lease were immaterial for the periods presented. Rent expense totaled $51.4
million, $39.4 million and $30.6 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases having
initial terms of one year or more are as follows:

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into lease
agreements with cancellation provisions as well as agreements with initial terms
of less than one year. The costs related to these leases have been reflected in
rent expense but have been appropriately excluded from the future minimum
payments presented above.

Standby Letters of Credit

From time to time, the Company issues standby letters of credit and bid
and performance bonds. At December 31, 2001, the Company had $35.2 million of
these instruments outstanding, primarily performance bonds, of which $27.8
million expire in 2002. Management does not expect any material amounts to be
drawn on these instruments.

45

Insurance

The Company maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of its
business and operations. The Company has elected to retain a portion of losses
that occur through the use of deductibles and retentions under its insurance
programs. Amounts in excess of the self-insured retention levels are fully
insured to limits believed appropriate for the Company's operations.
Self-insurance accruals are based on claims filed and an estimate for claims
incurred but not reported. While management believes that amounts accrued in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements are adequate for expected
liabilities arising from the Company's portion of losses, estimates of these
liabilities may change as circumstances develop.

Litigation

The Company is a defendant in various legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

Environmental

The Company routinely establishes and reviews the adequacy of reserves
for estimated future environmental clean-up costs for properties currently or
previously operated by the Company. Although the Company believes it is in
substantial compliance with environmental protection laws, estimating the costs
of compliance with these regulations is difficult considering the continual
changes in environmental legislation.

In connection with most business acquisitions, the Company obtains
contractual indemnifications from the seller related to environmental matters.
These indemnifications generally provide for the reimbursement of environmental
clean-up costs incurred by the Company for events occurring or circumstances
existing prior to the purchase date, whether the event or circumstance was known
or unknown at that time. A substantial portion of the Company's total
environmental exposure is associated with its M-I operations, which are subject
to various indemnifications from former owners.

While actual future environmental costs may differ from estimated
liabilities recorded at December 31, 2001, the Company does not believe that
these differences will have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations, subject to the indemnifications in place. In
the unlikely event that the parties providing indemnifications do not fulfill
their obligations, such event could result in the recognition of up to $25.0
million in additional environmental exposure, impacting earnings and cash flows
in future periods.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the Argentine government issued a
decree that eliminated the U.S. dollar as Argentina's monetary benchmark and
converted U.S. dollar-denominated obligations to peso-denominated obligations
using mandated conversion rates. The Company's operations in Argentina are U.S.
dollar-functional, with the majority of sales to customers invoiced in U.S.
dollars. While the Company does not anticipate that this event will have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations, there can be no assurance that economic conditions in
Argentina will not worsen, which could impact future earnings.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE

To Smith International, Inc.:

We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheets of Smith
International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2001, included in this Form 10-K, and have issued our report
thereon dated January 29, 2002. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming
an opinion on the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The
financial statement schedule listed in Part IV, Item 14(A)(2) for Smith
International, Inc. and subsidiaries is the responsibility of the Company's
management and is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements.
This financial statement schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set
forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
