                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Administrative Committee of the
Smith International, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Smith International, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan ("the Plan")
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility
of the Plan administrator. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedules 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 the Plan administrator, 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes (Schedule I), schedule of reportable transactions -
series transactions (Schedule II) and schedule of reportable transactions -
single transactions (Schedule III) are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                SMITH INTERNATIONAL, INC. 401(k) RETIREMENT PLAN

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995


1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT PLAN PROVISIONS

The following description of the Smith International, Inc. 401(k) Retirement
Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to
the Plan document for a more complete explanation of the Plan's provisions as
the Plan document is controlling at all times.

         GENERAL

The Plan is a defined contribution plan of Smith International, Inc. (the
Company). The Plan is operated for the sole benefit of the employees of the
Company and their beneficiaries and is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan is available
to all employees who meet certain eligibility requirements.

         a.       PLAN ADMINISTRATOR AND TRUSTEE

         The fiduciary responsibilities of the Plan are performed by the Smith
         International, Inc. Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board
         of Directors. Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company is the trustee of all
         investments held by the Plan. The responsibilities of the Trustee are
         to invest Plan assets in accordance with guidelines set forth by the
         Committee and to make disbursements from Plan assets as directed by
         the Committee.

         b.       ELIGIBILITY

         Persons employed by the Company within the United States, citizens of
         the United States employed abroad who are not covered by a collective
         bargaining agreement, and employees covered by a collective bargaining
         agreement which provides for participation in the Plan are eligible to
         participate. Participation may commence upon the later of such
         eligible employees' commencement date or the date on which such
         employees attain the age of eighteen.

         c.   CONTRIBUTIONS

         The Plan allows participants to contribute up to 12 percent of their
         compensation to the Plan on a pretax basis. Prior to July 1, 1983,
         participants contributions were taxed prior to being contributed to
         the Plan. The Company contributes to the account of each participant
         in the Plan between 2 and 6 percent of each participants' compensation
         based 


                                       7
<PAGE>   8

         upon the age of the participant (the Company Retirement
         contributions). The Company may, in its discretion, also contribute
         for a Plan Year a matching contribution with respect to each
         participant who is employed by the Company on the last day of such
         Plan Year (the Company Matching Contribution). The Company's Board of
         Directors shall determine whether a Company Matching Contribution
         shall be made for a Plan Year, the matching percentage, and the
         percentage of a participant's compensation upon which the match shall
         be based. Company contributions to participants accounts, including
         Company Matching Contributions and Company Retirement Contributions,
         were $4.9 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31,
         1996 and 1995, respectively.

         Effective April 7, 1997, the Company amended the Plan whereby the
         Company will, in addition to the Company Retirement Contributions,
         make mandatory matching contributions up to 1 1/2 percent of the
         participants' compensation. In addition, matching contributions in
         excess of the 1 1/2 percent may be made at the discretion of the
         Company's Board of Directors to the account of participants who are
         employed by the Company at the end of the Plan Year.

         d.       VESTING

         Participants are fully vested in their contributions and related
         earnings/losses and vest in Company contributions and related
         earnings/losses at the rate of 20 percent for each year of service.
         Upon death, judicial declaration of incompetence, or normal or
         disability retirement, participants become fully vested in Company
         contributions and related earnings/losses and all vested balances are
         distributed.

         e.       COMPENSATION

         Compensation, as defined in the Plan, includes all cash compensation
         paid by the Company to participants excluding payments made in
         connection with termination of employment, any compensation deferred
         under the Company's management incentive plan, and cost-of-living and
         any other extraordinary payments made to expatriates.

         f.       INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

         Participants have the option of investing their contributions and the
         Company's matching contributions in any of the following funds of the
         Vanguard Group of Investment Companies (Vanguard Funds) and/or the

                  Composite Stock Price Index.

         Contributions may be invested in one fund or divided among two or more
         funds. Participants may transfer some or all of the balances out of
         any fund into one or any

         combination of the other funds at any time. (See Note 5 for
         Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits, with fund
         information as of December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and
         Statement of Changes in Net Assets, with fund information for the
         year ended December 31, 1996.)

         g.       ASSET VALUATION

         The assets of the Plan are recorded at cost in the participants'
         accounts and converted to market value for financial statement
         presentation. Pursuant to Department of Labor regulations, the
         realized gain or loss on the sale of the Plan assets, and unrealized
         appreciation or depreciation of the Plan assets are based on the value
         of those assets at the beginning of the Plan year or at the time of
         purchase, if acquired during the current year.

         h.       ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         The Plan is responsible for its administrative expenses. However, in
         1996 and 1995, the Company elected to pay all administrative expenses.
         In the future, the Company may elect to discontinue paying such
         expenses.

         i.       PRIORITIES UPON PLAN TERMINATION

         The Company intends for the Plan to be permanent; however, in the
         event of permanent discontinuance of contributions or termination of
         the Plan, the total balances of all participants shall become fully
         vested.

         j.       LOANS

         The Plan permits participants to borrow the lesser of $50,000 or 50
         percent of their vested account balances in the Plan. These loans bear
         interest at prime plus one percent and are repaid through payroll
         withholdings over a period not to exceed five years, except for
         qualifying loans to purchase a primary residence which may be repaid
         over an extended repayment period.

         k.       WITHDRAWALS AND FORFEITURES

         A participant may elect to receive benefit payments through any one of
         the several methods provided by the Plan upon termination or
         retirement. Participants can withdraw their pre-July 1, 1983
         contributions (see Note 1.c.) in cash without being suspended from
         making additional contributions to the Plan.

         Upon termination of employment with the Company, any unvested Company
         contributions and related earnings/losses are forfeited if
         participants do not return to the Company within 60 months of their
         termination. During 1996 and 1995, $66,398 and $49,799, 


                                      10
<PAGE>   11

         respectively, of unvested participant balances were forfeited and
         utilized to reduce the Company's contributions in the respective
         years.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the cash basis of accounting. For
financial reporting purposes, however, the financial statements have been
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting using information provided by the
trustee.

INVESTMENT VALUATION

The Plan's investments are held by the trustee. Plan investments are stated at
fair value, as determined by the trustee primarily by reference to published
market data.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in net
assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

3.      FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on March 5, 1996, in which
the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The
Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the
Company and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed
and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.
Therefore, they believe that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was
tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.

4.      RECONCILIATION OF FORM 5500:

Benefits payable to participants are included in net assets available for
benefits and are not reflected as a liability in the financial statements. As
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the benefits payable to participants totaled
$150,842 and $159,748, respectively. The following is a reconciliation of net
assets available for benefits per the financial statements to the Form 5500 as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995:
