                            AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998

                    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, 1998 and 1997, and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998. These
financial statements and the supplemental schedules referred to below are the
responsibility of the Plan administrator. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and supplemental 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, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, 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 schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998 (Schedule I), reportable
transactions - series transactions for the year ended December 31, 1998
(Schedule II), reportable transactions single transactions for the year
ended December 31, 1998 (Schedule III) and the non-exempt transactions for the
year ended December 31, 1998 (Schedule IV) 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, 1998 AND 1997


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, as amended (ERISA). The Plan
is available to all employees who meet certain eligibility requirements.

         a.       PLAN ADMINISTRATOR AND TRUSTEE

         The Company is the plan administrator of the Plan as defined under
         ERISA. Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company is the trustee of all
         investments held by the Plan.

         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 upon the age of the participant (the "Company Retirement
         Contributions"). Effective April 7, 1997, the Company amended the Plan
         whereby the Company will, in addition to the Company Retirement
         Contributions, make mandatory matching

<PAGE>   9


         contributions (the "Company Matching Contribution") up to 1 1/2
         percent of the participants' compensation. In addition, discretionary
         contributions (the "Company Discretionary Contribution") 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.

         Company contributions to participants' accounts, including Company
         Retirement Contributions and Company Matching Contributions were
         approximately $4,900,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
         Company made no discretionary contributions in 1998.

         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 retirement, matching and discretionary contributions in any
         of the following funds of the Vanguard Group of Investment Companies
         (Vanguard Funds) and/or the Company's common stock:

         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.

         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
         1998 and 1997, 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 1998, $593,000 of unvested participant


<PAGE>   12


         balances were forfeited and utilized to reduce the Company's
         contributions. Forfeitures available at December 31, 1998 and 1997
         totaled $111,484 and $14,607, respectively.

2.       ACQUISITIONS

During 1998, Smith International, Inc. acquired Wilson Industries, Inc.
(Wilson). On October 1, 1998, the Wilson Industries, Inc. Savings Plan ("Wilson
Plan") merged its participant account balances of $20,143,143 with and into the
Plan, replacing in entirety the provisions of the Wilson Plan. Additionally,
subsequent to the merger, Wilson contributed matching contributions of $554,729
to the Plan, on behalf of eligible participants, as defined, of the Wilson Plan.

During October 1998, Smith International, Inc. merged participant account
balances of $788,849 included in predecessor plans of two acquired corporations
with and into the Plan, replacing in entirety the provisions of those
predecessor plans.

3.       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.

4.       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

<PAGE>   13


of the Internal Revenue Code (the "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.

5.       RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan provides for various investments in common stocks, money market
instruments, fixed income securities and long-term corporate bonds. Investment
securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate,
credit and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated
with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in
the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such
changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net
assets available for benefits, as well as participant accounts.

6.       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, 1998 and 1997, the benefits payable to participants totaled $0
and $86,092, respectively. The following is a reconciliation of net assets
available for benefits per the financial statements to the Form 5500 as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997:
