SMITH INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
of Smith International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") were prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and all applicable
financial statement rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") pertaining to interim financial information. These
interim financial statements do not include all information or footnote
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's
2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other current filings with the Commission.
All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring
nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial
statements have been included.

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles 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. 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
condensed financial statements.

Management believes the consolidated condensed financial statements
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
the Company as of the dates indicated. The results of operations for the interim
periods presented may not be indicative of results for the fiscal year.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations," which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for
retirement obligations and costs associated with tangible long-lived assets.
SFAS No. 143 requires that liabilities for asset retirement obligations be
recognized during the periods incurred rather than when expended. The Company's
asset retirement obligations principally relate to the removal of leasehold
improvements upon exiting certain leased properties, primarily associated with
the M-I operations. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a charge of $2.5
million, or $1.2 million after tax and minority interests, to reflect the
cumulative amount of expense which was required to be recognized as of January
1, 2003. This amount has been recorded as a cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle in the accompanying consolidated condensed statement of
operations. Additionally, the Company recorded a $3.7 million long-term
liability at the adoption date reflecting the present value of projected future
asset retirement obligations. The differential of $1.2 million, which primarily
represents the associated capitalized retirement costs, will be charged to
earnings over the remaining leasehold period. Neither the amount charged to
earnings in the first quarter of 2003 nor the pro forma effect for the three
months ended March 31, 2002 (assuming adoption of SFAS No. 143 as of January 1,
2002) were significant to net income or earnings per share amounts.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") which are adopted by the
Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed,
management believes the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet
effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements upon adoption.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATION

On January 29, 2003, M-I acquired certain oilfield chemical assets of
Dynea International ("Dynea") for cash consideration of $77.8 million. The
acquired operations, which are based in Norway, provide a complete line of
oilfield specialty chemicals used to eliminate hydrocarbon flow problems
encountered during production and transportation.

This acquisition has been recorded using the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the acquired operations have been included in the
results of operations since the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase
price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded
as goodwill. The purchase price allocation related to this acquisition 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.

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, 2002. 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 data):

4. OTHER CHARGES

During the first quarter of 2002, the Company recognized certain other
charges totaling $7.9 million, or $3.4 million net of tax and minority
interests. The first quarter charge included a $4.3 million provision for losses
on receivables in Argentina attributable to local economic events. The provision
was necessitated by Argentinean legislation, which required the Company to
settle certain U.S. dollar-denominated transactions in pesos. The remainder of
the charge related to restructuring efforts undertaken in response to
activity-level declines, the primary component of which is severance costs
incurred in connection with employee terminations. All such restructuring costs
were paid in 2002.

In the accompanying consolidated condensed statement of operations for
the three months ended March 31, 2002, $5.8 million of the charges are included
in general and administrative expenses, $1.7 million are reflected in selling
expenses with the remainder recorded as cost of revenues.

5. STOCK SPLIT

On June 6, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
two-for-one stock split, effected in the form of a stock dividend. Stockholders
of record as of June 20, 2002 were entitled to the dividend, which was
distributed on July 8, 2002. Unless otherwise noted, all prior year share and
per share amounts included in the financial statements and related notes have
been restated for the effect of the stock split.

6. EARNINGS PER 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.
Certain outstanding employee stock options 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):

9. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The following schedule presents goodwill, net of amortization, on a
segment basis as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and the related changes
in the carrying amount of goodwill (in thousands):



Oilfield Distribution

------------- ------------- -------------

Balance as of December 31, 2002 ............. $ 582,786 $ 37,289 $ 620,075
Goodwill acquired ........................... 57,116 -- 57,116

------------- ------------- -------------

============= ============= =============


The accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets as of March 31,
2003 and December 31, 2002 include $66.6 million and $60.1 million of intangible
assets (net of accumulated amortization of $14.8 million and $13.2 million),
respectively, which are classified in other assets. The Company amortizes
identifiable intangible assets, generally consisting of patents, trademarks and
non-compete agreements, on a straight-line basis over their expected useful
lives, which range from three to 27 years.

10. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income includes net income and changes in the components
of accumulated other comprehensive income during the periods presented. The
Company's comprehensive income is as follows (in thousands):



Three Months Ended
March 31,
-------------------------
2003 2002

Net income ........................... $ 20,561 $ 28,730
Changes in unrealized fair value

Currency translation adjustments ..... 3,963 (467)
----------- -----------

Comprehensive income ................. $ 24,930 $ 28,298
=========== ===========


As of March 31, 2003, accumulated other comprehensive income in the
accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet includes $5.3 million of
cumulative currency translation losses and $3.5 million of cumulative pension
liability adjustments, partially offset by $2.7 million of cumulative changes in
the unrealized fair value of derivatives.

11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company's Board of Directors and its stockholders have authorized
an employee stock option plan. As of March 31, 2003, 6.0 million shares were
issued and outstanding under the program and an additional 3.3 million shares
were authorized for future issuance. Options are generally granted at the fair
market value on the date of grant, vest over a four-year period and expire ten
years after the date of grant.

Certain option awards granted on December 4, 2001 were subject to
stockholder approval which was not obtained until April 24, 2002. Accordingly,
these options were granted with a strike price more than five percent below the
market value on the date of issuance and do not meet the conditions necessary to
qualify as a non-compensatory option grant. Compensation expense related to
these grants is being recognized over the four-year vesting period and resulted
in the inclusion of $0.1 million of related expense in the accompanying
consolidated condensed statement of operations for the three month period ended
March 31, 2003.

The Company continues to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in
accounting for its stock option program, as allowed under SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Therefore, for all options other than
those mentioned above, the Company elects to make pro forma disclosures versus
recognizing the related compensation expense in the accompanying consolidated
condensed financial statements.

Had the Company elected to apply the accounting standards of SFAS No.
123, the Company's net income and earnings per share on a diluted basis would
have approximated the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except
per share data):



Three Months Ended
March 31,
--------------------------
2003 2002
----------- -----------

Net income, as reported ............................. $ 20,561 $ 28,730
Add: Stock-based compensation expense included in
reported income, net of related tax effect ...... 68 --
Less: Total stock-based compensation expense
determined under the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model, net of related tax effect ................ (2,347) (1,896)
----------- -----------
Pro forma net income ................................ $ 18,282 $ 26,834
=========== ===========

Earnings per share:
As reported:
Basic ........................................... $ 0.21 $ 0.29
Diluted ......................................... 0.21 0.29
Pro forma:
Basic ........................................... $ 0.18 $ 0.27
Diluted ......................................... 0.18 0.27


In addition to the stock option program described above, the Company
maintains a stock grant program. The stock grants are issued at par value and
are subject to a four-year cliff-vesting schedule. Compensation expense,
calculated as the difference between the market value on the date of grant and
the exercise price, is being recognized ratably over the vesting period and
resulted in the inclusion of $0.2 million and $0.1 million of related expense in
the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three
month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

12. INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

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,
Smith Bits and Smith Services. The Distribution segment includes the Wilson
business unit. The following table presents financial information for each
reportable segment (in thousands):

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Standby Letters of Credit and Guarantees

In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others,
the Company is contingently liable for performance under standby letters of
credit and bid, performance and surety bonds which totaled approximately $75.0
million at March 31, 2003. Management does not expect any material amounts to be
drawn on these instruments. The Company has also provided guarantees for loans
related to certain joint ventures accounted for by the equity method of
accounting. As the net assets of the joint ventures are available to satisfy
obligations as they become due, management believes the likelihood is remote
that the Company will be required to make payments related to these agreements.
The Company's estimated maximum exposure under these contingent guarantees was
approximately $12.0 million as of March 31, 2003.

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.

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.

As of March 31, 2003, the Company has established an environmental
reserve of approximately $12.5 million. This amount reflects the future
undiscounted estimated exposure related to identified properties, without regard
to indemnifications from former owners. While actual future environmental costs
may differ from estimated liabilities recorded at March 31, 2003, 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. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company
initiated legal action against M-I's former owners to address issues associated
with certain provisions of the environmental indemnification provided. In the
event that i) M-I's former owners and other parties to indemnification
agreements with the Company do not fulfill their obligations, and ii) costs
incurred to remediate the identified properties reach estimated maximum exposure
limits, the Company would be required to establish additional environmental
reserves of up to $25.0 million, impacting earnings and cash flows in future
periods.

ITEM 2. 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 condensed
financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto included
elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements of the
Company, the notes thereto and the related "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the Company's 2002
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 provides a comprehensive line of
technologically-advanced products and engineering services, including drilling
and completion fluid systems, solids-control and separation equipment,
waste-management services, oilfield production chemicals, three-cone drill bits,
diamond drill bits, turbine products, 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, valves, fittings and mill, safety and other
maintenance products.

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 year-over-year increase in the worldwide rig count relates to
higher North American activity levels, driven by a 22 percent increase in
land-based drilling programs. Drilling activity in the United States and Canada
is heavily influenced by natural gas fundamentals, as approximately 80 percent
of the North American rig count is currently natural gas-directed. A combination
of declining production and higher weather-related demand has reduced U.S.
natural gas storage levels to nearly 40 percent below the five-year average,
which has favorably impacted commodity prices and North American drilling
activity. Activity levels in markets outside of North America, which are
primarily influenced by crude oil fundamentals, have remained relatively
consistent with the prior year and are forecasted to show modest improvement
throughout the remainder of 2003. While worldwide activity levels are currently
above the average reported in the first quarter of 2002, various factors,
including political and regional instabilities, oil and natural gas storage
levels, commodity prices and depletion rates, will likely influence drilling
activity on a going forward basis. The Company's business outlook, however, is
highly dependent on the general economic environment in the United States and
other major world economies, which ultimately impact energy consumption and the
resulting demand for our products and services. Further weakness in the global
economic environment could result in reduced worldwide drilling activity,
adversely impacting the Company's future financial 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.

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 in thousands).

12


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,
and it manufactures and markets equipment and services for solids-control,
separation, pressure control, rig instrumentation and waste-management through
its M-I SWACO division. M-I also provides a complete line of oilfield specialty
chemicals and related technical services through its Oilfield Production
Chemical division, acquired in January 2003. M-I's business operations are
largely influenced by the number of offshore drilling programs, which are more
revenue-intensive than land-based projects due to the complex nature of the
related drilling environment. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, M-I's
revenues totaled $416.3 million, five percent above the prior year quarter. The
year-over-year variance was largely attributable to incremental revenues from
acquisitions completed during the past 12-month period, primarily the Dynea
Oilfield Chemical transaction finalized on January 29, 2003. Excluding the
impact of acquisitions, revenues increased one percent above the prior year
quarter reflecting new contract awards and increased customer activity in
certain Eastern Hemisphere markets, primarily the Commonwealth of Independent
States and West Africa. Western Hemisphere revenues were slightly below the
prior year as the effect of a reduced number of U.S. offshore drilling programs
and lower activity levels in certain areas of Latin America was partially offset
by incremental revenues associated with increased North American land-based
drilling activity.

Smith Bits designs, manufactures and sells three three-cone drill bits,
diamond drill bits and turbines for use in the oil and gas industry. Smith Bits
reported revenues of $92.2 million for the first quarter of 2003, an increase of
three percent from the comparable prior year period. The period-to-period
comparison was affected by the sale of several large Eastern Hemisphere export
orders during the prior year quarter, which did not recur in the first quarter
of 2003, as well as the acquisition of two business operations during the latter
half of 2002. Excluding the impact of these items, Smith Bits' revenues
increased approximately five percent over the prior year period, attributable to
improved North American drilling activity.

Smith Services manufactures and markets products and services used in
the oil and gas industry for drilling, workover, well completion and well
re-entry. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, Smith Services' revenues
totaled $95.0 million, 11 percent below the prior year quarter. The majority of
the year-over-year revenue decline related to the more than 40 percent reduction
in demand for tubular products in the United States, primarily drill pipe. The
remainder of the decline relates to reduced customer spending for completion
products and services in certain markets in Latin America and West Africa.

Operating Income

Operating income for the Oilfield Products and Services segment was
$68.9 million, a nine percent decline from the prior year quarter. Segment
operating margins were 11.4 percent for the first quarter of 2003, 1.4
percentage points below the level reported in the prior year quarter. The
year-over-year decline in segment operating income primarily reflected inclusion
of higher operating expenses, partially offset by increased gross profit
attributable to the improved revenue volumes. Incremental expenses related to
five operations acquired over the past 12-month period, higher costs associated
with U.S. medical and casualty insurance programs and increased employee
profit-sharing accruals accounted for the reported operating expense increase.
The year-over-year comparison was also impacted by the recognition of $7.0
million in charges, primarily related to receivable write-downs in Argentina and
employee termination costs, in the first quarter of 2002 which did not recur.
Excluding the effect of these charges, operating margins declined 2.6 percentage
points from the prior year quarter.



13


Distribution Segment

Revenues

Wilson markets pipe, valves, fittings and 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
reported revenues of $205.3 million for the first quarter of 2003, 12 percent
below the prior year quarter. Over 70 percent of the revenue variance was
reported in Wilson's U.S. industrial and downstream operations attributable to
lower spending on major maintenance programs and projects by engineering and
construction, refining and petrochemical customers. To a lesser extent, the
year-over-year revenue comparison was impacted by reduced tubular product sales
in Canada as certain customers now purchase tubular goods directly from the
manufacturer.

Operating Income

Operating income for the Distribution segment decreased $4.2 million
from the amount reported in the first quarter of 2002. The operating income
variance reflects lower gross profit associated with the reported revenue
decline, partially offset by a reduction in variable-based operating expenses.
As a percentage of revenues, operating income decreased two percentage points
from the prior year quarter, as lower sales volumes impacted coverage of fixed
sales and administrative support costs.

============ ========= ============ =========


Consolidated revenues were $808.8 million for the first quarter of
2003, two percent below the prior year period. The year-over-year comparison was
impacted by the inclusion of revenues from five acquisitions completed during
the prior 12-month period. Excluding the impact of acquired operations, base
revenues fell five percent from the first quarter of 2002, with revenue declines
experienced in both the Oilfield and Distribution segments. Approximately 70
percent of the base revenue decline was reported in the Distribution operations
associated with a significant decline in customer spending levels in the
industrial and downstream market. The base revenue reduction in the Oilfield
segment resulted from lower demand for tubular goods in the United States and a
reduction in the level of Eastern Hemisphere export orders, partially offset by
incremental revenues associated with improved North American activity levels.

Gross profit totaled $238.3 million for the first quarter of 2003,
approximately one percent below the prior year period. The decrease in gross
profit reflects the lower sales volumes experienced in the Company's
Distribution segment. Gross profit margins for the period were 29 percent of
revenues, comparable with the levels reported in the prior year quarter due, in
part, to a favorable shift in revenue mix. The impact of the increased
proportion of consolidated revenues generated in the Oilfield segment, which
traditionally generate higher gross profit margins than the Distribution
operations, served to offset the minimal margin deterioration reported in the
Oilfield segment.



15


Operating expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative
expenses, increased $8.1 million from the prior year period. Over half of the
variance relates to incremental expenses associated with operations acquired
during the past 12-month period. To a lesser extent, higher costs associated
with U.S. medical and casualty insurance programs and increased employee
profit-sharing amounts resulting from reported profitability levels contributed
to the period-to-period increase. The reported increase in operating expenses
was impacted by the inclusion of $7.5 million of charges, primarily for
receivable write-offs in Argentina and employee termination costs recognized in
the prior year period which did not recur.

Net interest expense, which represents interest expense less interest
income, equaled $9.7 million in the first quarter of 2003. Net interest expense
decreased $0.3 million from the prior year period as excess cash flow was
utilized to repay outstanding borrowings under revolving credit facilities,
resulting in a $35.0 million reduction in average debt levels.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter approximated 32 percent,
which is lower than 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
their related income taxes. The Company 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 increased one
percentage point above the first quarter of 2002, reflecting the lower
proportion of M-I U.S. partnership earnings and, to a lesser extent, an
unfavorable shift in the geographic mix of pre-tax income toward higher rate
jurisdictions.

Minority interests reflect the portion of the results of majority-owned
operations, which are applicable to the minority interest partners. Minority
interests was $1.2 million below amounts reported in the prior year quarter due
to the lower profitability reported in the M-I operations.

The cumulative effect of change in accounting principle represents the
impact of adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which was effective January 1,
2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

At March 31, 2003, cash and cash equivalents equaled $43.9 million. For
the first quarter of 2003, the Company's operations utilized $30.0 million of
cash flow which compared to the $39.4 million generated in the prior year
period. The current year improvement in North American activity levels has
resulted in higher working capital levels, particularly the required investment
in accounts receivable and inventories, in contrast to the prior year quarter
when declining activity favorably impacted these working capital accounts.

During the first quarter of 2003, cash flows used in investing
activities totaled $94.0 million, consisting of amounts required to fund
acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, capital expenditures. During the period,
the Company acquired the oilfield chemical assets of Dynea International in
exchange for cash consideration of $77.8 million. The Company also invested
$16.2 million in property, plant and equipment, net of cash proceeds arising
from certain asset disposals. The level of cash used for investing activities
increased from the prior year period, with the variance related to current year
acquisition funding.

In the first three months of 2003, cash flows from operations were not
sufficient to fund investing activities, resulting in a $76.8 million increase
in outstanding debt levels. Cash flows provided by financing activities, which
totaled $81.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, were also
impacted by proceeds from the exercise of stock options, which equaled $4.3
million during the period.

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. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had $344.4 million of
funds available under U.S. revolving credit facilities to fund future operating
or investing needs of its worldwide operations. The Company also has revolving
credit facilities in place outside the United States, which are generally used
to finance local operating needs. At March 31, 2003, borrowing capacity of $42.8
million was available under the non-U.S. borrowing facilities.



16


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 March 31, 2003, 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 from 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. 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.

Commitments and Contingencies

Standby Letters of Credit and Guarantees

In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others,
the Company is contingently liable for performance under standby letters of
credit and bid, performance and surety bonds which totaled approximately $75.0
million at March 31, 2003. Management does not expect any material amounts to be
drawn on these instruments. The Company has also provided guarantees for loans
related to certain joint ventures accounted for by the equity method of
accounting. As the net assets of the joint ventures are available to satisfy
obligations as they become due, management believes the likelihood is remote
that the Company will be required to make payments related to these agreements.
The Company's estimated maximum exposure under these contingent guarantees was
approximately $12.0 million as of March 31, 2003.

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.

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.

As of March 31, 2003, the Company has established an environmental
reserve of approximately $12.5 million. This amount reflects the future
undiscounted estimated exposure related to identified properties, without regard
to indemnifications from former owners. While actual future environmental costs
may differ from estimated liabilities recorded at March 31, 2003, 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. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company
initiated legal action against M-I's former owners to address issues associated
with certain provisions of the environmental indemnification provided. In the
event that i) M-I's former owners and other parties to indemnification
agreements with the Company do not fulfill their obligations, and ii) costs
incurred to remediate the identified properties reach estimated maximum exposure
limits, the Company would be required to establish additional environmental
reserves of up to $25.0 million, impacting earnings and cash flows in future
periods.




17

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the Company's consolidated condensed 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. In its 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has described
the critical accounting policies that require management's most significant
judgments and estimates. There have been no material changes in these critical
accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations," which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for
retirement obligations and costs associated with tangible long-lived assets.
SFAS No. 143 requires that liabilities for asset retirement obligations be
recognized during the periods incurred rather than when expended. The Company's
asset retirement obligations principally relate to the removal of leasehold
improvements upon exiting certain leased properties, primarily associated with
the M-I operations. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a charge of $2.5
million, or $1.2 million after tax and minority interests, to reflect the
cumulative amount of expense which was required to be recognized as of January
1, 2003. This amount has been recorded as a cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle in the accompanying consolidated condensed statement of
operations. Additionally, the Company recorded a $3.7 million long-term
liability at the adoption date reflecting the present value of projected future
asset retirement obligations. The differential of $1.2 million, which primarily
represents the associated capitalized retirement costs, will be charged to
earnings over the remaining leasehold period. Neither the amount charged to
earnings in the first quarter of 2003 nor the pro forma effect for the three
months ended March 31, 2002 (assuming adoption of SFAS No. 143 as of January 1,
2002) were significant to net income or earnings per share amounts.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") which are adopted by the
Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed,
management believes the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet
effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements upon adoption.

ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE MARKET RISK DISCLOSURES

The Company is exposed to certain market risks arising from
transactions that are entered into in the normal course of business which are
primarily related to interest rate changes and fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates. During the reporting period, no events or transactions have occurred
which would materially change the information disclosed in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal
controls designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time frame specified in the Commission's
rules and regulations. Our principal executive and financial officers have
evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days prior to the
filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to
the evaluation date.
