GRANT PRIDECO, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. GENERAL

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Grant Prideco, Inc.
(the "Company" or "Grant Prideco") have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All
significant transactions between Grant Prideco and its consolidated subsidiaries
have been eliminated. The interim financial statements have not been audited.
However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
statements have been included. Results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the
entire year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2002.

The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 includes
disclosures related to significant accounting policies including revenue
recognition, accounts receivable valuation, inventory valuation, business
combinations, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets,
estimates related to contingent liabilities and future claims, and pension
liabilities.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
certain assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the
related reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The significant estimates made by management in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements include reserves for inventory obsolescence,
self-insurance, valuation of goodwill and long-lived assets, product warranty
claims, determination of income taxes, contingent liabilities, and purchase
accounting allocations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to conform
such amounts to corresponding 2003 classifications and are of a normal recurring
nature. These reclassifications have no impact on net income.

2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Pro Forma Stock Option Compensation Expense

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation programs using the
intrinsic value method of accounting established by Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for stock issued to employees" and related
interpretations. Under APB No. 25, No compensation expense is recognized when
the exercise price of an employee stock option is equal to the market price of
common stock on the grant date. Non-employee stock-based compensation is
accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based
Compensation".

Had compensation expense for stock options been determined based on the fair
value at the grant dates for awards under the Company's incentive compensation
plans, the company's net earnings and net earnings per share would have been
reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated as follows:

5

The weighted average fair value of each stock option included in the
preceding pro forma amounts was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model and is amortized over the vesting period of the underlying options.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In May 2003, the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") was
approved and the Company reserved 1.3 million shares of Grant Prideco common
stock ("Common Stock") for issuance under the ESPP. Under the ESPP, eligible
employees may have up to 10% of their earnings withheld, subject to certain
limitations. Each one-year offering period commences on January 1 of each year,
except the initial offering period which commenced on July 1, 2003 and will
conclude on December 31, 2003. The price at which the Common Stock may be
purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value
of the Common Stock on the commencement date or the last trading day of each
offering period. As of September 30, 2003, the proceeds collected by the Company
under the ESPP totaled approximately $0.4 million.

3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes changes in stockholders' equity during
the periods that do not result from transactions with stockholders. The
Company's total comprehensive income (loss) is as follows:

4. INVENTORIES

Inventories by category are as follows:

Property, plant, and equipment consisted of the following:

6. OTHER CHARGES

2000 Charges

The Company recorded certain charges in 2000 totaling $7.9 million that
related to accrued liabilities. The accrued liability balance as of September
30, 2003 is summarized below (in thousands):

In July 2003, the dispute underlying the contingent liability accrual was
settled for $3.3 million, therefore a $1.4 million adjustment was made in the
second quarter of 2003 to reduce the accrued contingent liability to the actual
settlement amount and is recorded in "Other Charges" in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations. The litigation accrual of $0.7 million is expected to
be settled within the next year.

2002 Charges

Results for the second quarter of 2002 include $7.0 million of pre-tax
charges, $4.9 million net of tax. These charges include $2.6 million related to
fixed asset write-downs and $4.5 million for executive severance payments and
related expenses.

7

These charges are summarized in the following chart by segment (in
thousands):

- ----------

(a) The fixed asset write-downs relate to idled assets taken out of
service pursuant to the Company's ongoing automation and efficiency
initiatives and are classified as held for sale. The amount was
determined by use of internal appraisals and evaluations to assess
the estimated fair value upon disposition.

(b) The severance charge relates to an executive employee terminated
during June 2002. The amount accrued for severance was based upon the
terminated employee's employment contract, which was paid in July
2002.

Second Quarter 2003 Charges

Results for the second quarter of 2003 include $7.9 million of pre-tax charges,
$5.1 million net of tax. These charges include $6.4 million related to inventory
reserves for exited product lines and $1.5 million for stock compensation
expense and are summarized in the following chart by segment (in thousands):

- ----------

(a) The inventory reserves for the exited product lines were reported as
cost of sales and relate to the write-down of inventories, primarily
industrial drilling products, to their net estimated realizable
values. The amount was determined by use of internal appraisals and
evaluations to assess the estimated net realizable value upon
disposition. The remaining inventory, which has a carrying value of
$1.8 million as of September 30, 2003, is expected to be liquidated
within the next 12 months.

(b) In May 2003, two members of the Board of Directors volunteered to
step down to reduce the number of common directors between Grant
Prideco and its former parent, Weatherford International LTD.
(Weatherford), and vesting of their stock-based compensation was
accelerated and was recorded in "Other Charges" in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

7. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings per share reflect the potential dilution from the exercise or
conversion of securities into common stock. Common stock equivalent shares are
excluded from the computation if their effect was antidilutive. When a loss
occurs for the period, the effect of stock options is not included in the
diluted computation because to do so would be antidilutive. The computation of
diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2002 did not include options to purchase 5.9 million and 4.9 million shares,
respectively, of common stock because their exercise prices were greater than
the average market price of the common stock for the applicable period. The
computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2003 did not include options to purchase 5.4 million and 5.2
million shares, respectively, of common stock because their exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of the common stock.

8. SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY

As of September 30, 2003, the Company had borrowed $62.0 million under a
$240 million Senior Credit Facility (Senior Credit Facility), comprised of $17.4
million of revolving credit facility borrowings and $44.6 million related to the
term loan borrowings. Also, $6.2 million was used to support outstanding letters
of credit as of September 30, 2003. Net

8

borrowing availability was $121.7 million as of September 30, 2003. The
revolving credit facility borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are
recorded as "Long-Term Debt" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, as
the Company has the intent and ability under the credit agreements to maintain
these obligations for longer than one year.

9. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets". Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets
deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but will be subject to
annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized
over their useful lives.

The Company completed the transitional goodwill impairment test as of
January 1, 2002 and recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $9.3
million, $6.4 million net of tax, related to its Industrial reporting unit. This
charge had no impact on cash flows and was recorded as a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle in the Consolidated Statements of Operations
effective January 1, 2002.

The carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit is as follows:

Intangible assets of $39.0 million and $38.3 million, net of accumulated
amortization of $3.4 million and $6.3 million, as of December 31, 2002 and
September 30, 2003, respectively, are recorded at cost and are amortized on a
straight-line basis. The Company's intangible assets primarily consist of
patents, covenants not to compete, technology licenses, trademarks, and customer
relationships that are amortized over the definitive terms of the related
agreement or the Company's estimate of their useful lives if there are no
definitive terms. The following table shows the Company's intangible assets by
asset category (in thousands):

Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 and 2003 were $0.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively,
and is recorded in "General and Administrative" and "Research and Engineering"
expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amortization expense
related to existing intangible assets for the remainder of 2003 is estimated to
be $1.0 million and for each of the years 2004 through 2008 is estimated to be
approximately $3.6 million, $3.0 million, $3.0 million, $2.5 million, and $2.4
million, respectively.

10. RESTRICTED CASH

9

At September 30, 2003, the Company had $1.9 million of restricted cash. The
restricted cash relates to the Company's 60% interest in Tianjin Pipe Company
("TPCO") that is designated for property, plant, and equipment expenditures and
is subject to dividend and distribution restrictions.

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company operates through four primary business segments: Drilling
Products and Services, ReedHycalog(TM), Tubular Technology and Services, and
Marine Products and Services. The Company's Drilling Products and Services
segment manufactures and sells a full range of proprietary and API drill pipe,
drill collars, heavy weight drill pipe and accessories. The ReedHycalog segment
designs, manufactures, and distributes fixed-cutter and roller-cone drill bits.
The Company's Tubular Technology and Services segment designs, manufactures, and
sells a line of premium connections and associated premium tubular products and
accessories. The Company's Marine Products and Services segment manufactures and
sells a variety of products used in subsea construction and installation, which
consists primarily of large bore casing and riser products and high
specification valves for use in drilling and production activity. In September
2003, the Company sold the Rotator control valve business included in the Marine
Products and Services segment. See Note 14 for further discussion of this
disposition. In addition to the products and services provided through the
Company's four primary business segments, the Company also has an Other segment
that, until exiting its product lines during the first half of 2003,
manufactured drill pipe and other products used in the industrial markets for
fiber optic cable installation, construction, and water well drilling. See Note
14 for further discussions related to the Company's Other operations.

12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN No.
46). FIN No. 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No.
51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to certain entities in which equity
investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling interest or do not
have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without
additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In October 2003,
the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, Interpretation No. 46-6 "Effective Date of
FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" which
provides that FASB Interpretation No. 46 is effective for an entity's first
reporting period ending after December 15, 2003 for variable interest entities
created before February 1, 2003. The Interpretation applies immediately to
variable interest entities created after January 1, 2003, or in which we obtain
an interest after that date. The Company is currently evaluating the potential

10

effect, if any, this interpretation will have on its consolidated results of
operations and its financial condition, with respect to entities acquired before
February 1, 2003.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS
No. 150 requires that financial instruments within its scope be classified as an
asset or liability. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and must be applied to the Company's
existing financial instruments effective July 1, 2003, the beginning of the
first fiscal period after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 in the
third quarter of 2003 and there was no impact on the Company's consolidated
results of operations or financial condition.

13. ACQUISITIONS

On December 20, 2002, the Company purchased the ReedHycalog drill bits
business from Schlumberger Technology Corporation and its affiliates
(Schlumberger) for approximately $350 million, consisting of $255 million in
cash (subject to adjustment), approximately $90 million in Grant Prideco common
stock, and approximately $5 million of assumed non-current liabilities. At
September 30, 2003, goodwill recognized in the acquisition of ReedHycalog was
$159.2 million. The results of ReedHycalog have been included in the financial
statements from the date of acquisition. ReedHycalog is a leading designer,
manufacturer, and distributor of fixed-cutter and roller-cone drill bits to the
global oil and gas industry.

The purchase price for ReedHycalog has been allocated to the estimated fair
value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary purchase price
allocation is based upon the Company's current estimates of respective fair
values. Some allocations are based on studies and independent valuations. The
Company expects to finalize the determination of the fair value of all of the
ReedHycalog assets and liabilities in 2003. Deferred tax liabilities will also
be finalized after the final allocation of the purchase price and the final tax
basis of the assets and liabilities has been determined.

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents information as if
ReedHycalog had been acquired at the beginning of the period presented. The pro
forma amounts include certain adjustments, including recognition of depreciation
and amortization based on the allocated purchase price of the property, plant,
and equipment acquired and of intangible assets; reduction of employee benefit
expenses related to benefit plans not to be continued by Grant Prideco;
increased interest expense on acquisition debt; and elimination of interest
income that is not expected to have a continuing impact. The pro forma amounts
do not reflect any benefits from synergies that might be achieved from the
combined operations.

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have
occurred if the ReedHycalog acquisition had been in effect for the periods
presented and they are not intended to be a projection of future results.

On September 13, 2002, the Company acquired the assets of Grey-Mak Pipe,
Inc. (Grey-Mak), a company headquartered in Casper, Wyoming, that specializes in
the threading of casing and tubing and provides related accessories. The Company
paid approximately $4.8 million in cash, and goodwill recognized in the
acquisition was approximately $0.7 million. Grey-Mak's results of operations and
financial condition are included in the Company's Tubular Technology and
Services segment.

On March 26, 2002, the Company acquired an additional 48.5% interest in
Jiangsu Shuguang Grant Prideco Tubular Limited (JSG), a Chinese entity engaged
in the manufacture and sale of drill pipe to the Chinese and related markets,

11

thereby giving the Company a 70% controlling interest in JSG. The Company
previously owned approximately 21.5% of JSG and accounted for its investment
under the equity method. The Company paid approximately $0.5 million in cash and
issued 1.3 million shares of Grant Prideco common stock for the additional
interest. Goodwill recognized in the step acquisition of JSG was approximately
$11.3 million. Subsequent to acquiring a controlling interest, the Company's
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JSG in the Drilling
Products and Services segment. Previously recorded goodwill of $2.9 million
related to the Company's initial 21.5% investment has been reclassified from
"Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates" to "Goodwill" in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On March 26, 2002, the Company also entered into a joint venture with TPCO
for the manufacture of unfinished upset to grade pipe in China, with the intent
of this joint venture supplying JSG with all of its tubular requirements. The
Company currently owns a 60% interest in the joint venture with TPCO and plans
to invest approximately $5 million for machinery and equipment representing the
Company's contribution to the joint venture. As of September 30, 2003, the
Company had invested approximately $2.7 million into this joint venture.

On May 7, 2002, the Company acquired 65% of Rotator AS (Rotator), a
Norwegian company that manufactures control valves and systems for the offshore
oil and gas industry. On January 28, 2003, the Company purchased the remaining
35% interest in Rotator. Total consideration for the purchase of Rotator was 0.3
million shares of Grant Prideco common stock with a value of approximately $5.1
million and $6.1 million in cash. Goodwill recognized in the acquisition of
Rotator was $5.1 million, all of which related to the 2003 step-acquisition.
Rotator's results of operations and financial condition are included in the
Company's Marine Products and Services segment. In September 2003, the Company
sold Rotator. See Note 14 for further discussion.

On November 6, 2001, the Company acquired a license to Plexus
International's (Plexus) patented POS-GRIP(TM) wellhead and related technology
for subsea well applications and certain exploration and development wells,
including the associated wellhead rental business for $2 million in cash. The
terms of the agreement also provided for additional consideration to be paid
based on a multiple of Plexus' actual earnings for the annual period ending
December 31, 2002, not to exceed $5.5 million. The Company paid total additional
consideration of $2.5 million in April 2003. Goodwill recognized in the
acquisition of Plexus was $2.5 million. Plexus' results of operations and
financial condition are included in the Company's Marine Products and Services
segment.

The acquisitions discussed above were accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. The results of operations of all acquisitions are included
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from their respective dates of
acquisition. The purchase prices were allocated to the net assets acquired based
upon their estimated fair market values at the dates of acquisitions. The
acquisitions mentioned above, with the exception of the ReedHycalog acquisition,
are not material to the Company individually or in the aggregate for each
applicable year, therefore pro forma information is not presented. See Note 15
for supplemental cash flow information concerning acquisitions.

14. DISPOSITIONS

On September 2, 2003, the Company sold Rotator for $13.5 million in cash,
subject to a working capital adjustment by the end of 2003. The gain recognized
on the sale was $2.2 million, $1.4 million net of tax, and is recorded in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Other, Net". Revenues related to
Rotator included in the Marine Products and Services segment's results for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003 were $4.9 million and
$8.6 million, and $2.2 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Operating income
related to Rotator for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and
2003 were $0.4 million and $0.9 million, and $0.3 million and $0.9 million,
respectively.

On March 25, 2003, the Company sold Star Iron Works, Inc. (Star), a
manufacturer of drilling tools for the water well, construction, and utility
boring industries, for $11.0 million in cash and a note valued at approximately
$0.9 million. The gain recognized on the sale of Star was $1.3 million, $0.8
million net of tax, and is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations
as "Other, Net". Revenues related to Star included in the Other segment's
results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003 were
$5.0 million and $15.3 million, and $0 and $3.6 million, respectively. Operating
income related to Star for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002
and 2003 were $0.4 million and $1.2 million, and $0 and $0.1 million,
respectively.

12

During the second quarter of 2003, the Company announced the shut-down of
its Bryan, Texas facility, where the majority of its industrial drilling
products and oil and gas tubing operations have occurred. Future operations, if
any, will be conducted at the Company's Navasota, Texas location. In connection
with the decision to shut-down the Bryan, Texas facility, the Company recorded a
$6.4 million charge to reduce the carrying value of inventories, primarily
industrial drilling products, to their estimated net realizable values. For
further discussion on the charge, see Note 6.

15. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

The following table summarizes investing activities relating to acquisitions
(in thousands):

For additional information on 2003 goodwill changes and acquisition
activity, see Notes 9 and 13.

16. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

The Company's 50.01% owned joint venture, Voest-Alpine, is accounted for
under the equity method of accounting due to the minority owner having
substantive participating rights. Summarized financial information for
Voest-Alpine is as follows (in thousands):

The Company's equity in earnings differs from its proportionate share of net
income (loss) due to the elimination of intercompany profit on Voest-Alpine
sales to the Company.

17. PREFERRED SUPPLIER CREDIT AGREEMENT

In April 2000, Weatherford spun off Grant Prideco to its stockholders as an
independent, publicly traded company (the "Distribution"). In connection with
the initial capitalization of the Company, and in consideration of amounts due
from the Company to Weatherford at the time of the Distribution, the Company
entered into a preferred supplier agreement with Weatherford. Pursuant to this
agreement Weatherford agreed for at least a three-year period from the
Distribution date to purchase a minimum of 70% of its requirements of certain
products from the Company; and the Company agreed to a $30 million credit,
subject to a limitation of the application of the credit to no more than 20% of
any purchase. In April 2003, the agreement was extended for two additional years
and the unused preferred supplier credit balance was reduced by $6.6 million and
was treated as a reduction in the accrued liability as a credit to other income.
Such adjustment is reflected in "Other, Net" in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. At
September 30, 2003, the remaining credit balance was $8.8 million, of which $1
million is classified as "Other Accrued Liabilities", with the remaining balance
classified as "Other Long-Term Liabilities" in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheets.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our
financial condition as of December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003, and our
results of operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30,
2002 and 2003. This discussion should be read with our financial statements and
their notes included elsewhere in this report as well as our financial
statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2002,
previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

Our discussion of our results of operations and financial condition contains
statements relating to our future results, including certain projections and
trends, which constitute forward-looking statements. Certain risks and
uncertainties may cause actual results to be materially different from projected
results contained in these forward-looking statements and other disclosures.
These risks and uncertainties are more fully described under "Forward-Looking
Statements and Exposures" below. As used herein, unless otherwise required by
the context, the term "Grant Prideco" refers to Grant Prideco, Inc. and the
terms "we," "our," and similar words refer to Grant Prideco and its
subsidiaries. The use herein of such terms as "group," "organization," "we,"
"us," "our," and "its," or references to specific entities, are not intended to
be a precise description of corporate relationships.

GENERAL

We are the world leader in drill stem technology development and drill pipe
manufacturing, sales and service; a global leader in drill bit technology,
manufacturing, sales and service; a leading provider of high-performance
engineered connections and premium tubular products and services. We
historically have operated through three primary business segments: (1) Drilling
Products and Services, (2) Tubular Technology and Services and (3) Marine
Products and Services. On December 20, 2002, we acquired the ReedHycalog drill
bits business from Schlumberger Technology Corporation and its affiliates, which
we are operating as our fourth primary business segment.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, we
identified our most critical accounting policies upon which our financial
condition depends as those relating to revenue recognition, accounts receivable
valuation, inventory valuation, business combinations, impairment of long-lived
assets, goodwill and intangible assets, estimates related to contingent
liabilities and future claims, and pension liabilities.

EXITED PRODUCT LINES

During the first quarter of 2003, we made a strategic decision to exit the
manufacture and sale of industrial drilling products and oil and gas tubing.
Pursuant to this decision, we sold our Star Iron Works, Inc. (Star) subsidiary,
shut-down operations at our Bryan, Texas facility, and we are in the process of
liquidating our remaining inventory. These Bryan, Texas operations generated
approximately $37 million of revenues and $5 million of operating losses during
fiscal 2002. Also as a result of this decision, we recognized a $1.3 million
pre-tax, $0.8 million after tax, gain on the sale of our Star operation during
the first quarter of 2003 and recorded inventory reserves of $6.4 million in
cost of sales for the exited product lines, which related to the write-down of
inventories, primarily industrial drilling products, to their estimated net
realizable values. During the third quarter of 2003, we sold our Rotator control
value business for $13.5 million in cash, subject to a working capital
adjustment by the end of 2003. We recognized a $2.2 million pre-tax, $1.4
million after tax, gain on this sale.

MARKET TRENDS AND OUTLOOK

Our business is materially dependent on the level of oil and gas drilling
activity worldwide, which, in turn, depends on the level of capital spending by
major, independent, and state-owned exploration and production companies. This
capital spending is driven by current prices for oil and gas and the perceived
stability and sustainability of those prices. Most of our business segments
follow both domestic and international rig count levels, however, their
revenues, cash flows, and

18

profitability follow the rig counts at different stages within the market
cycles. Drill pipe demand is also a function of customer inventory levels and
typically lags changes in the rig counts by approximately six to nine months.
Results from our Tubular Technology and Services segment should closely follow
changes in North American rigs drilling for deep-gas, especially in the Gulf of
Mexico and those rigs operated by major oil companies. Short-term demand in this
segment can also be affected by inventories held by OCTG distributors. Demand
for our Marine Products and Services follows the level of offshore and deepwater
drilling activity, especially the Gulf of Mexico. Although deepwater drilling is
dependent upon prices for oil and gas, it is less likely to follow short-term
changes in oil and gas prices, as deepwater projects are more capital intensive
and are typically based upon long-term forecasts for oil and gas prices.
Historically, drill bit demand and ReedHycalog's earnings and cash flows have
closely tracked the domestic and international rig counts, which we believe will
somewhat offset the extreme cyclicality and mid-to-late cycle returns from our
Drilling Products and Services segment.

Prices for oil and natural gas have been and continue to be volatile, and
material declines adversely affect the demand for our products and services. The
following table sets forth certain information with respect to oil and natural
gas prices and the North American (U.S. and Canadian) and international rig
counts:

and the former Soviet Union).

FUTURE MARKET TRENDS AND EXPECTATIONS

During the first nine months of 2003, North American rig counts increased,
and we expect them to continue to increase throughout the remainder of 2003, but
at a more moderate rate. To date these increases have only marginally benefited
our operations, as the increased rig count has been mainly attributable to
shallow, land-based drilling as opposed to deep-gas and offshore drilling that
are important drivers for the majority of our operations. Recently, there has
been an increase in deep formation drilling, which we believe will benefit our
operations. This increase corresponded with incremental improvements in
international drilling activity, seasonal increases in Canadian drilling, and
overall stronger U.S. activity, which all benefit our operations. We believe the
continued effects of these items on the fourth quarter of 2003 will be somewhat
offset by continued conservative purchasing by drilling contractors and OCTG
distributors due to uncertain outlooks by these customers and by their seasonal
desire to hold reduced inventories at year-end to minimize ad-valorem taxes. As
a result, we currently expect that fourth quarter 2003 results of operations
will be in the range of $0.06 to $0.08 per share. Our forward-looking statements
and estimates do not take into account any transition expenses associated with
the ReedHycalog acquisition, which we currently expect to be less than $1.0
million, after-tax, during the fourth quarter of 2003. Also, in order to meet
our expectations for the fourth quarter of 2003, it will be necessary for us to
obtain and complete new drill pipe orders that were not committed to us by
customers as of the end of the third quarter.

19

In addition, we are conducting company-wide assessments of all of our
manufacturing strategies and practices to determine possible improvements which
could allow us to improve manufacturing efficiencies, reduce costs, and improve
future profitability. We currently manufacture many of our components and
finished products at numerous locations around the world. Management estimates
these assessments will be completed in early 2004. Our forward-looking
statements and estimates assume that none of the reviews will adversely affect
our results of operations in any period.

All of our forecasts and assumptions are considered forward-looking
statements, and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those
highlighted under "Forward-Looking Statements and Exposures".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OTHER CHARGES AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2000 Charges

We recorded certain charges in 2000 totaling $7.9 million that related to
accrued liabilities. The accrued liability balance as of September 30, 2003 is
summarized below (in thousands):

In July 2003, the dispute underlying the contingent liability accrual was
settled for $3.3 million, therefore a $1.4 million adjustment was made in the
second quarter of 2003 to reduce the accrued contingent liability to the actual
settlement amount and is recorded in "Other Charges" in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations. The litigation accrual of $0.7 million, which is in
our Marine Products and Services segment, is expected to be settled within the
next year.

2002 Charges

Results for the second quarter of 2002 include $7.0 million of pre-tax
charges, $4.9 million net of tax. These charges include $2.6 million related to
fixed asset write-downs and $4.5 million for executive severance payments and
related expenses and are summarized in the following chart by segment (in
thousands):

- ----------

(a) The fixed asset write-downs relate to idled assets taken out of
service pursuant to our ongoing automation and efficiency initiatives
and are classified as held for sale. The amount was determined by use
of internal appraisals and evaluations to assess the estimated fair
value upon disposition.

(b) The severance charge relates to an executive employee terminated
during June 2002. The amount accrued for severance was based upon the
terminated employee's employment contract, which was paid in July
2002.

20

Second Quarter 2003 Charges

Results for the second quarter of 2003 include $7.9 million of pre-tax
charges, $5.1 million net of tax. These charges include $6.4 million related to
inventory reserves for exited product lines and $1.5 million for stock
compensation expense and are summarized in the following chart by segment (in
thousands):

- --------

(a) The inventory reserves for the exited product lines were reported as
cost of sales and relate to the write-down of inventories, primarily
industrial drilling products, to their estimated net realizable
values. The amount was determined by use of internal appraisals and
evaluations to assess the estimated net realizable value upon
disposition. The inventory, which has a carrying value of $1.8
million as of September 30, 2003, is expected to be liquidated within
the next 12 months.

(b) In May 2003, two members of the Board of Directors volunteered to
step down to reduce the number of common directors between us and our
former parent, Weatherford International LTD. (Weatherford), and
vesting of their stock-based compensation was accelerated and was
recorded in "Other Charges" in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002

The following table summarizes the results of the Company (in thousands):

- ----------

(a) Includes transition costs of $1.5 million, $1.0 million in Operating
Income (Loss) and $0.5 million in Other Income (Expense) related to the
ReedHycalog acquisition in December 2002.

(b) Includes a gain of $2.2 million related to the sale of the Rotator
control valve business in September 2003.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Net income was $7.5 million ($0.06 per share) on revenues of $221.3 million
in the third quarter of 2003, compared to net income of $1.9 million ($0.02 per
share) on revenues of $162.2 million in the third quarter of 2002. Third quarter
of 2003 earnings includes a $1.4 million gain from the sale of the Rotator
control valve business in the Marine Products and Services segment and
transition costs of $0.9 million related to the ReedHycalog acquisition
completed in December 2002.

Consolidated operating income was $21.9 million in the third quarter of
2003, compared to $10.6 million in the third quarter of 2002, which includes
transition costs of $1.0 million in 2003 related to ReedHycalog.

SEGMENT RESULTS

DRILLING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES SEGMENT

Our Drilling Products and Services segment revenues increased $9.2 million,
or 12%, in the third quarter of 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002.
Operating income increased $0.8 million, or 6%, in the third quarter of 2003 as
compared to the same period in 2002 and operating margins of 17% are down
slightly from 18% in last year's third quarter. The increases in revenues and
operating income are primarily due to increased drill pipe footage sold of 0.4
million feet, from 1.6 million feet sold to 2.0 million feet sold. Also, drill
collar sales increased $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2003 when compared
to the same period in 2002. Operating income margins are slightly down due to a
3% decrease in average sales price per foot, coupled with a decrease in equity
earnings related to our investment in Voest-Alpine due to lower sales volumes
and pricing of their OCTG products.

REEDHYCALOG(TM)

ReedHycalog, which was acquired on December 20, 2002, reported revenues of
$68.1 million in the third quarter of 2003, which is up $11.4 million when
compared to the second quarter of 2003. Operating income in the third quarter of
2003, which includes $1.0 million of transition costs related to the integration
of ReedHycalog, was $13.1 million, and operating income margin was 19%. This
compares to operating income in the second quarter of 2003 of $12.9 million,
which includes $0.5 million of transition costs, and operating income margin of
23%. The increase in revenues is driven by a 13% increase in worldwide drilling
activity; continued successful market penetration of the new TReX(TM)
fixed-cutter drill bit technology introduced earlier this year; and seasonal
increases in Canada. The decrease in operating income margins is due primarily
to increased sales and marketing expenses associated with new marketing
programs; higher than normal distribution expenses to reposition inventory
acquired in the acquisition in December 2002 into different markets; and higher
incentive compensation expense due to stronger than anticipated performance at
ReedHycalog during 2003.

TUBULAR TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES SEGMENT

Our Tubular Technology and Services segment revenues decreased $12.8
million, or 22%, in the third quarter of 2003 as compared to the same period in
2002. Operating income decreased $0.8 million, or 53%, in the third quarter of
2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. These decreases reflect the impact
of exiting the tubing product lines, starting in the first quarter of 2003, as
well as decreased premium threading and tubular processing activities. The thir
