                             NATIONAL-OILWELL, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Information concerning common stock and per share data has been restated on an
equivalent share basis and assumes the exchange of all Exchangeable Shares
issued in connection with the combination with Dreco Energy Services Ltd. The
Company employs accounting policies that are in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States which requires Company
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements present information
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable rules of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1999 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of the Company, the consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments, all of which are of a normal, recurring nature, necessary for a
fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 may not be
indicative of results for the full year. No significant accounting changes have
occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2000.

During February 2000, the Company completed its merger with Hitec ASA, a leading
supplier of highly advanced systems and solutions, including leading-edge
automation and remote control technologies, for the oil and gas industry. The
Company issued approximately 7.9 million shares of common stock at $19.50 per
share for all of the outstanding shares of Hitec with goodwill related to the
transaction approximating $136 million. Hitec's financial results are included
in National Oilwell's consolidated results effective February 1, 2000. Pro forma
results of operations are not presented since they are not considered material.

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

INTRODUCTION

National Oilwell is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and sale of
drilling systems, drilling equipment and downhole products as well as the
distribution of maintenance, repair and operating products to the oil and gas
industry. National Oilwell'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. Beginning in late
1997, oil prices declined to less than $15 per barrel due to concerns about
excess production, less demand from Asia due to an economic slowdown and warmer
than average weather in many parts of the United States. The resulting lower
demand for products and services had an increasingly negative effect on both
business segments in 1999. Oil prices have recovered since late July 1999 to a
range of $25-$31 per barrel. National Oilwell expects its revenues to increase
if its customers gain confidence in sustained commodity prices at this level and
as their cash flows from operations improve, allowing them to purchase products
sold by National Oilwell.

Products and Technology

The Products and Technology segment designs and manufactures a wide range of
proprietary products, including drawworks, mud pumps, power swivels, electrical
control systems and downhole motors and tools, as well as complete land drilling
and well servicing rigs and structural components such as cranes, masts,
derricks and substructures for offshore rigs. A substantial installed base of
these products result in a recurring replacement parts and maintenance business.
Sales of new capital equipment fluctuate between periods depending on the size
and timing of order shipments. In addition, the segment provides pump expendable
products for maintenance of National-Oilwell's and other manufacturers'
equipment.

During February 2000, the Company completed its merger with Hitec ASA, a leading
supplier of highly advanced systems and solutions, including leading-edge
automation and remote control technologies, for the oil and gas industry.
Hitec's financial results are included in National Oilwell's consolidated
results effective February 1, 2000. This transaction has been accounted for as a
purchase for financial reporting purposes with goodwill related to this
transaction approximating $136 million. With the addition of Hitec, the Company
intends to expand its emphasis on technology, especially in the areas of
automation and remotely controlled equipment.

Revenues for the Products and Technology segment increased by $8.2 million (8%)
in the first quarter of 2000 as compared to the same quarter in 1999 due
primarily to the inclusion of two months of Hitec revenues. Downhole motor sales
were up almost 50% and capital equipment sales increased 10% due to the shipment
of three rigs, offset in part by reduced shipments of pumps and cranes.
Operating income decreased by $3.5 million (26%) in the first quarter compared
to the same quarter in 1999 resulting primarily from lower margins due to
product mix, increased goodwill amortization due to recent acquisitions and
increased fixed costs associated with the Hitec acquisition.
 .
Backlog of the Products and Technology group was $82 million at March 31, 2000,
an increase of $5 million from December 31, 1999. At March 31, 1999, backlog
stood at $50 million. Substantially all of the current backlog will be shipped
by the end of September 2000.

Distribution Services

Distribution Services revenues result primarily from the sale of maintenance,
repair and operating supplies ("MRO") from National Oilwell's network of
distribution service centers and, prior to July 1999, from the sale of well
casing and production tubing. These products are purchased from numerous
manufacturers and vendors, including National Oilwell's Products and Technology
segment. The Company sold its tubular product line in June 1999 for
approximately $15 million, generating a pre-tax loss of $0.9 million ($0.5
million after-tax). Revenues and operating loss recorded in 1999 for the tubular
operations were $23.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Distribution Services revenues during the first quarter of 2000 exceeded the
comparable 1999 period by $18 million. This 17% increase, despite the loss of
$14 million of tubular revenue resulting from the sale of the product line,
reflects increased sales of maintenance, repair and normal operating supplies in
the recovering North American markets. Canadian revenues were 55% higher than
the same period in 1999 and the US operations recorded a 10% increase. Operating
income in the first quarter of 2000 was $3.1 million higher than the first
quarter of 1999 due to revenue volume, offset in part by product mix as Canada
shipped a significant amount of lower margin line pipe and tubular products
during the quarter.

Corporate

Corporate costs during the first quarter of 2000 increased $0.6 million from the
comparable 1999 quarter primarily as a result of expenses related to National
Oilwell's e-strategy initiatives.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased during the three months ended March 31, 2000 when
compared to the prior year due to the higher debt level, including debt
associated with the Hitec acquisition of $7 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 2000, the Company had working capital of $343 million, a $41
million increase from December 31, 1999. While inventory remained unchanged
during the quarter, accounts receivable increased $47 million due in part to the
revenue increase and the acquisition of Hitec. Accounts payable and other
current liabilities increased $5 million.

Total capital expenditures were $5.3 million during the first three months of
2000. Enhancements to information and inventory control systems, including costs
related to an aggressive e-strategy initiative, represent a significant portion
of these capital expenditures. The Company believes it has sufficient existing
manufacturing capacity to meet currently anticipated demand for its products and
services.

The Company has a five-year unsecured $125 million revolving credit facility
that is available for acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The credit
facility provides for interest at prime or LIBOR plus 0.625% (9.00% and 6.625%
at March 31, 2000), subject to adjustment based on the Company's Capitalization
Ratio, as defined therein. The credit facility contains financial covenants and
ratios regarding minimum tangible net worth, maximum debt to capital and minimum
interest coverage. National Oilwell also has additional credit facilities
totaling $22.6 million used primarily for letters of credit, of which $4.8
million were outstanding at March 31, 2000.

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 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
with cash flow from operations and borrowings, including the unborrowed portion
of the credit facility or new debt issuances, but may also issue additional
equity either directly or in connection with acquisitions. There can be no
assurance that additional financing for acquisitions will be available at terms
acceptable to the Company.

ANNOUNCED MERGER TRANSACTION

On March 15, 2000, National Oilwell signed a definitive merger agreement with
IRI International Corporation (NYSE: IIR) whereby National Oilwell would issue
approximately 13.5 million shares of common stock in exchange for all of the
outstanding common stock of IRI. The transaction is subject to stockholder
approval of both companies and regulatory approval with closing anticipated in
the second quarter of 2000. The transaction is expected to be accounted for
under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting.
