4. ACQUISITIONS

   On April 25, 1997, the Company purchased the drilling business of Ross
   Hill Controls and its affiliate, Hill Graham Controls Limited for $19
   million in cash.  This business involves the manufacture, sale and
   service of electrical control systems used in conjunction with drilling
   operations.  The transaction was accounted for under the purchase
   method of accounting and did not have a material effect on the
   Company's financial statements.


                                       4



<PAGE>   6



   On May 15, 1997, the Company purchased 100% of the common stock of PEP,
   Inc., a manufacturer of petroleum expendable products, in exchange for
   400,000 shares of National-Oilwell common stock.  The transaction was
   accounted for under the pooling of interests method of accounting and
   did not have a material effect on the Company's historical financial
   statements, and financial statements prior to April 1, 1997 have not
   been restated.

   On May 14, 1997, the Company announced the signing of a definitive
   agreement to acquire Dreco Energy Services Ltd., a publicly traded
   Canadian company. The terms of the agreement provide for the exchange
   of 100% of the Dreco common stock for Dreco exchangeable shares, which
   can be converted into National-Oilwell common stock, in a pooling of
   interests transaction that is expected to be tax free to both
   companies.  The exchange ratio is subject to a collar and will provide
   Dreco's shareholders with 1.2 shares of National-Oilwell common stock
   if, during the 20 consecutive trading days ending 5 days before
   closing, National-Oilwell's average stock price is between $36.00 and
   $47.25.  As a general matter, if the average stock price is above
   $47.25, the exchange ratio adjusts to provide Dreco holders with $56.70
   of National-Oilwell common stock, and, if the average stock price is
   below $36.00, the exchange ratio adjusts to provide Dreco holders with
   $43.20 of National-Oilwell common stock.

   The transaction, which is structured as a plan of arrangement under
   Alberta law, is subject to various conditions, including stockholder
   approvals of both companies, the approval of the Alberta Court and
   other regulatory approvals in both the U.S. and Canada.  It is
   anticipated that stockholder meetings and the closing of the
   transaction will occur during the third quarter of 1997.

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

   INTRODUCTION

   The Company is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and sale
   of machinery and equipment and in the distribution of maintenance,
   repair and operating ("MRO") products used in oil and gas drilling and
   production.  The Company's revenues are directly related to the level
   of worldwide oil and gas drilling and production activities and the
   profitability and cash flow of oil and gas companies and drilling
   contractors, which in turn are affected by current and anticipated
   prices of oil and gas.

   During 1996, the Company completed two significant capital
   transactions.  First, in January 1996, the Company acquired the
   operations of National-Oilwell (the "Acquisition"), resulting in the
   incurrence of significant amounts of debt and related interest expense.
   Second, on October 29, 1996, the Company sold 4.6 million shares of
   its common stock through an initial public offering (the "IPO").  Net
   proceeds from the IPO of approximately $72 million were used to repay
   debt incurred in connection with the Acquisition.

   During the second quarter of 1997, the Company completed the
   acquisition of the drilling controls business of Ross Hill Controls and
   its affiliate for $19 million in cash, and purchased 100% of the common
   stock of PEP, Inc. in exchange for 400,000 shares of National-Oilwell
   common stock.  These transactions did not have a material effect on the
   Company's historical financial statements.

   On May 14, 1997, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire
   100% of the common stock of Dreco Energy Services Ltd. in a pooling of
   interests transaction.  The transaction is subject to various
   conditions, including shareholder approvals of both companies.  The
   number of shares of National-Oilwell common stock to be issued is
   subject to an exchange ratio adjustment as more fully described in
   footnote 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included
   herein, and the total value is expected to approximate $440 million.
   It is anticipated that the closing of the transaction will occur in the
   third quarter of 1997.

   Products and Technology

   The Products and Technology segment designs and manufactures a large
   line of proprietary products, including drawworks, mud pumps, power
   swivels, electrical control systems and reciprocating pumps.  A
   substantial installed base of these products results in a recurring
   replacement parts and maintenance business.  Sales of new capital
   equipment can result in large fluctuations in volume between periods
   depending on the size and timing of the shipment of orders.  This
   segment also provides drilling pump expendable products for maintenance
   of the Company's and other manufacturers' equipment.

   Revenues for the Products and Technology segment increased by $16.8
   million (40%) in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to the same
   quarter in 1996 due to the inclusion of $6.8 million of revenues
   generated by acquisitions completed during such quarter and due to
   increased revenues from the sale of drilling capital equipment and
   spare parts.  Operating income increased by $3.9 million in the second
   quarter compared to the same quarter in 1996, with $1.2 million of the
   increase due to the acquired businesses and the balance due to higher
   activity levels.

   Products and Technology revenues increased $28.6 million (35%) in the
   first half of 1997 as compared to 1996 due primarily to an increase in
   demand for drilling capital equipment and spare parts, fluid end
   expendable parts, and reciprocating pumps and associated parts, as well
   as the acquisitions noted above.  Operating income for the Products and
   Technology segment increased $8.4 million, or 104%, in the first half
   of 1997 as compared to the prior year period, representing 29% of the
   revenue increase.

   Distribution Services

   Distribution Services revenues result primarily from the sale of MRO
   products from the Company's network of approximately 120 distribution
   service centers and from the sale of well casing and production tubing.
   These products are purchased from numerous manufacturers and vendors,
   including the Company's Products and Technology segment.  While the
   Company has increased revenues and improved its operating income by
   entering into alliances and outsourcing arrangements, improvements in
   operating results remain primarily dependent on attaining increased
   volumes of activity through its distribution service centers while
   controlling the fixed costs associated with numerous points of sale.

   Distribution Services revenues during the second quarter 1997 exceeded
   the comparable 1996 period by $31.7 million.  This 26% increase
   reflects the increased spending levels of the Company's alliance
   partners and other customers.  Sales of MRO products, tubular products,
   drilling spares and fluid end expendable parts accounted for all of
   this increase.  Operating income in the second quarter of 1997 was $2.6
   million (65%) greater than the second quarter of 1996.  An increase in
   operating expenses offset part of the margin recorded due to the volume
   improvement, netting an 8% flow through of the revenue increase.

   Revenues during the first six months of 1997 increased $57.1 million
   (24%) over the comparable 1996 period.  Significant increases in the
   sales of MRO products ($25 million), tubular goods ($15 million),
   drilling spares ($4 million), fluid end expendable parts ($3 million)
   and production products ($5 million) generated the majority of this
   gain.  Operating income increased $4.1 million during the first six
   months of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.  A portion of the
   increased margin from the higher revenue levels was offset by higher
   operating costs associated with the addition in the second half of 1996
   of operating and administrative personnel in order to better manage
   assets and in anticipation of the revenue growth that was achieved in
   the first half of 1997.


                                       7
<PAGE>   9
   Corporate

   Corporate costs increased during the second quarter of 1997 primarily
   due to the incurrence of merger and acquisition costs.

   Interest Expense

   Interest expense decreased substantially during the first six months of
   1997 due to substantially lower levels of debt that resulted from the
   reductions made using cash proceeds from the IPO.

   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   At June 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $148 million, an
   increase of $18 million from December 31, 1996.  Accounts receivable
   increased by $5.7 million, net of acquisitions, during the first six
   months of 1997 as revenues increased in the second quarter of 1997.
   Inventories increased by $11.5 million, net of acquisitions, during
   this period due to specific build programs and in response to
   increasing demand for oilfield equipment and supplies.

   The Company's business has not required large expenditures for capital
   equipment in recent years.  Total capital expenditures were $1.7
   million during the first six months of 1997 and have averaged $3.8
   million per year over the last three years.  Enhancements to
   information and inventory control systems represent a large portion of
   these capital expenditures.  Total capital expenditures of as much as
   $6 million are anticipated in 1997 to meet the Company's operating
   needs, including further enhancements to the Company's information
   systems.  The Company believes it has sufficient existing manufacturing
   capacity to meet current and anticipated demand over the next twelve
   months for its products and services.  Any significantly greater
   increases in demand for oilfield equipment products, to the extent
   qualified subcontracting and outsourcing are not available, could
   result in additional increases in capital expenditures.

   The Company believes that cash generated from operations and amounts
   available under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to
   fund operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure
   requirements and financing obligations. The Company also believes any
   significant increase in capital expenditures caused by any need to
   increase manufacturing capacity can be funded from operations or
   through debt financing.

   The Company intends to pursue acquisition candidates, but the timing,
   size or success of any acquisition effort and the related potential
   capital commitments cannot be predicted.  The Company expects to fund
   future acquisitions primarily through cash flow from operations and
   borrowings, including the unborrowed portion of the revolving credit
   facility, and/or issuances of additional equity.  There can be no
   assurance that additional financing for acquisitions will be available
   at terms acceptable to the Company.

   In connection with the proposed transaction to acquire 100% of the
   common shares of Dreco Energy Services Ltd., the Company has entered
   into negotiations relative to a $125 million senior credit facility for
   the United States and Canada.  This new unsecured facility will replace
   the existing credit facility upon successful completion of the
   transaction.
