Varco International, Inc.
Orange, California
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of The Varco
1980 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") as of March 31, 1997 and 1996,
and the related statements of changes in Plan equity for each of the three years
in the period ended March 31, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Varco 1980 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan as of March 31, 1997 and 1996 and the changes in Plan equity for
each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THE VARCO 1980 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
March 31, 1997
NOTE A -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AND PLAN DESCRIPTION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting. Asset valuations are stated at cost which is equivalent to fair
value.
The Varco 1980 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") was adopted by the
Company's Board of Directors in December 1979, and became effective on April 1,
1980. The Plan permits eligible employees to make regular and systematic
purchases of Common Stock of the Company through payroll deductions.
Substantially all regular full-time employees are eligible to participate in the
Plan. Voluntary employee contributions are deducted from the employee
compensation each payday and paid into the Plan for the employee's account.
All funds received or held by the Company under the Plan are included in the
general funds of the Company. The Company issues stock certificates to each
participant to the extent that the balance in the participant's account at the
end of the Plan period is sufficient to purchase whole shares of the Company's
stock. The Plan provides for two six-month purchase periods per year in lieu of
a twelve-month purchase period. The first purchase period commences on April 1
and ends on September 30. The second period begins on October 1 and ends on
March 31. The purchase price per share to be paid by each participant is 85% of
the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the first or last day of
a purchase period, whichever amount is lower. Any Participant may terminate
contributions and withdraw from the Plan at any time.
In February 1995, the Plan was amended by the Board of Directors, and
subsequently ratified by the shareholders in May 1995, to increase the number of
shares subject to the Plan from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 shares and to extend the
term of the Plan from fifteen years to twenty-five years following its effective
date unless it is sooner terminated by resolution adopted by the Company's Board
of Directors.
NOTE B--PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, the Company issued 44,793 shares of
its Common Stock to 468 participants at a price of $10.625 a share for the
Plan's first purchase period (April 1, 1996 through September 30, 1996). For
the Plan's second period (October 1, 1996 through March 31, 1997), the Company
issued 34,482 shares of its Common Stock to 511 participants at a price of
$14.9812 a share.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, the Company issued 60,602 shares of
its Common Stock to 410 participants at a price of $6.4813 a share for the
Plan's first purchase period. For the Plan's second period, the Company issued
49,650 shares of its Common Stock to 416 participants at a price of $8.7125 a
share.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Company issued 64,328 shares of
its Common Stock to 355 participants at a price of $4.675 a share for the Plan's
first purchase period. For the Plan's second period, the Company issued 56,420
shares of its Common Stock to 365 participants at a price of $5.8438 a share.
Amounts remaining in participant's accounts after issuance of shares, which were
insufficient to purchase whole shares of the Company's Common Stock, were
refunded to such participants.
NOTE C--FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Plan qualifies as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under Section 423 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Accordingly, transfers of shares under this Plan
are not intended to result in taxable income to employees.
