                             NATIONAL-OILWELL, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          Effective September 25, 1997, National-Oilwell completed a combination
("Combination") with Dreco Energy Services Ltd. ("Dreco"). As a result of the
Combination, each Dreco Class "A" common share ("Dreco Common Share")
outstanding was converted into .9159 of a Dreco Exchangeable Share
("Exchangeable Share") and, accordingly, approximately 14.4 million Exchangeable
Shares were issued. Each Exchangeable Share is intended to have substantially
identical economic and legal rights as, and will ultimately be exchanged on a
one-for-one basis for, a share of National-Oilwell common stock.

          The Combination was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and the
consolidated financial statements of National-Oilwell and Dreco have been
combined with all prior periods restated to give effect to the Combination.
Information concerning common stock and per share data has been restated on an
equivalent share basis and assumes the exchange of all Exchangeable Shares.

          National-Oilwell has a year end of December 31 and, prior to the
Combination, Dreco had a year end of August 31. The restated financial
statements combine the December 31, 1996 balance sheet of National-Oilwell with
the November 30, 1996 balance sheet of Dreco. The income statement reflects the
combined three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the combination of the
three months ended March 31, 1997 for National-Oilwell with the three months
ended February 28, 1997 for Dreco.

 3.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement 130, Reporting
     Comprehensive Income. Statement 130 establishes new rules for the reporting
     and display of comprehensive income and its components. The adoption of
     this Statement had no impact on the Company's net income or shareholders'
     equity. Statement 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company's
     available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments,
     which prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholders' equity,
     to be included in other comprehensive income. Prior year financial
     statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of
     Statement 130.

     During the first quarter of 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive income
     amounted to $24,314 and $8,478.

 4.   RECLASSIFICATIONS

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

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.

Effective September 25, 1997, National-Oilwell completed a combination
("Combination") with Dreco Energy Services Ltd. ("Dreco"). As a result of the
Combination, each Dreco Class "A" common share ("Dreco Common Share")
outstanding was converted into .9159 of a Dreco Exchangeable Share
("Exchangeable Share") and, accordingly, approximately 14.4 million Exchangeable
Shares were issued. Each Exchangeable Share is intended to have substantially
identical economic and legal rights as, and will ultimately be exchanged on a
one-for-one basis for, a share of National-Oilwell common stock. Approximately
80% of the Exchangeable Shares have been exchanged for National-Oilwell common
stock as of March 31, 1998.

The Combination was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and the
consolidated financial statements of National-Oilwell and Dreco have been
combined with all prior periods restated to give effect to the Combination.
Information concerning common stock and per share data has been restated on an
equivalent share basis and assumes the exchange of all Exchangeable Shares.

National-Oilwell has a year end of December 31 and, prior to the
Combination, Dreco had a year end of August 31. The restated financial
statements combine the December 31, 1996 balance sheet of National-Oilwell with
the November 30, 1996 balance sheet of Dreco. The income statement reflects the
combined three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the combination of the
three months ended March 31, 1997 for National-Oilwell with the three months
ended February 28, 1997 for Dreco.

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, as well as complete land drilling and
well servicing rigs and structural components such as masts, derricks and
substructures. 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 $82.7 million
(127%) in the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the same quarter in 1997 due
to increased sales of major capital equipment and drilling spare parts. Sales of
new mud pumps, masts, derricks and cranes were particularly strong, representing
$24 million of the increase. Operating income increased by $17.5 million (229%)
in the first quarter compared to the same quarter in 1997. Operating income as a
percentage of revenues increased from 12% to 17%, primarily due to manufacturing
and operating cost efficiencies that result from higher volumes.

Backlog of the Products and Technology group has remained strong during the
first quarter of 1998 and was $273 million at March 31, 1998, compared to $271
million at December 31, 1997 and $86 million at March 31, 1997.
Substantially all of the current backlog will be shipped by the end of 1998.

Downhole Products
National-Oilwell designs and manufactures drilling motors and specialized
drilling tools for rent and sale. Rentals generally involve products that are
not economical for a customer to own or maintain because of the broad range of
equipment required for the diverse hole sizes and depths encountered in drilling
for oil and gas. Sales generally involve products that require infrequent
service, are disposable or are sold in countries where National-Oilwell does not
provide repair and maintenance services.

Downhole Products revenues increased by $2.1 million (13%) in the first quarter
of 1998 when compared to the same period in 1997, primarily due to a general
increase in activity levels.

Operating income for the Downhole Products segment increased slightly in the
first quarter of 1998 compared to the same quarter in 1997, as additional
depreciation charges offset the margin recognized on the incremental revenues. A
change in product mix from motor spare parts to mechanical products further
reduced operating income.

Distribution Services
Distribution Services revenues result primarily from the sale of MRO products
from the Company's network of 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.

Distribution Services revenues during the first quarter of 1998 exceeded the
comparable 1997 period by $16.6 million. This 12% increase reflects the
increased spending levels of the Company's tubular products alliance partners as
sales of MRO products and other commodities remained flat. Operating income in
the first quarter of 1998 was $0.4 million (8%) greater than the first quarter
of 1997.

                                       6
<PAGE>   8
Corporate
Corporate costs during the first quarter of 1998 were $0.6 million lower than
the prior year primarily due to elimination of duplicate corporate costs that
existed prior to the Combination.

Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased slightly during the three months ended March 31, 1998
due to both lower levels of debt and lower interest rates resulting from the
credit facility entered into in conjunction with the Combination.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of $268 million, an increase
of $16 million from December 31, 1997. Net cash provided by operating activities
was $6 million, as a $22 million increase in inventories, primarily caused by
increases in work in process and finished goods to support higher activity
levels in the Products and Technology segment, used a significant portion of the
cash generated from net income.

Total capital expenditures were $4.9 million during the first three months of
1998. Enhancements to information and inventory control systems represent a
large portion of these capital expenditures. The Company believes it has
sufficient existing manufacturing capacity to meet currently anticipated demand
through 1998 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 has a five-year unsecured $125 million revolving credit facility
(the "Credit Facility") that is available for acquisitions and general corporate
purposes. The Credit Facility provides for interest at prime or LIBOR plus
0.375% (8.5% and 6.03% at March 31,1998), subject to adjustment based on the
Company's Capitalization Ratio, as defined. The Credit Facility contains
financial covenants and ratios regarding minimum tangible net worth, maximum
debt to capital and minimum interest coverage.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations and amounts available
under the 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 cash acquisitions
primarily with cash flow from operations and borrowings, including the
unborrowed portion of the Credit Facility or new debt issuances. There can be no
assurance that additional financing for acquisitions will be available at terms
acceptable to the Company.
