                            SMITH INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Smith
International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and accompanying notes included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K
and other current filings with the Commission.

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers
necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying
financial statements. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results for the year. Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

2.  BUSINESS COMBINATION

         On January 15, 2000, the Company acquired Texas Mill Supply and
Manufacturing, Inc., a provider of industrial mill and safety products and
management services to the refining, power generation, petrochemical and
chemical markets, for cash consideration of $30.0 million.

         The acquisition has been recorded using the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the acquired operations have been included in the
results of operations since the acquisition date. The purchase price was
allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their estimated fair market
values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair value of the net assets has been recorded as goodwill and is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.

         The balances included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the
acquisition are based upon preliminary information and are subject to change
when additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations is
obtained. Material changes in the preliminary allocations are not anticipated by
management.

         The following unaudited pro forma supplemental information presents
consolidated results of operations as if the Company's current and prior year
acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1999 (in thousands, except per share
amounts):

3.  NON-RECURRING ITEMS

         During the first quarter of 1999, the Company recorded two
non-recurring items which are included in total costs and expenses in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company disposed of its
industrial bentonite mine operations located in Greece in exchange for cash
consideration of $29.7 million. Operating results for the first quarter of 1999
include a pretax gain of $10.5 million related to the disposition. Additionally,
the Company recorded charges of $7.9 million in the first quarter of 1999
relating to the write-off of certain assets and the settlement of a customer
receivable.

4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect
to the potential dilution of earnings which could have occurred if additional
shares were issued for stock option exercises under the treasury stock method.
The following schedule reconciles the income and shares used in the basic and
diluted EPS computations (in thousands, except per share data):

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

GENERAL

The following "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" is provided to assist readers in understanding the
Company's financial performance during the periods presented and significant
trends which may impact the future performance of the Company. The following
discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Company and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in
this Form 10-Q.

         The Company manufactures and markets premium products and services to
the oil and gas exploration and production industry, the petrochemical industry
and other industrial markets. The Company provides a comprehensive line of
technologically-advanced products and engineering services, including drilling
and completion fluid systems, solids-control equipment, waste-management
services, three-cone and diamond drill bits, fishing services, drilling tools,
underreamers, sidetracking systems, packers and liner hangers. The Company also
operates an extensive network of supply branches through which it markets pipe,
valves, fittings and other capital and expendable maintenance products.

         The Company's worldwide operations are largely driven by the level of
exploration and production activity in major energy producing areas and the
depth and drilling conditions of these projects. Drilling activity levels are
primarily influenced by energy prices but may also be affected by expectations
related to the worldwide supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, finding
and development costs, decline and depletion rates, political actions and
uncertainties, environmental concerns, capital expenditure plans of exploration
and production companies and the overall level of global economic growth and
activity.

         M-I L.L.C. ("M-I") provides drilling and completion fluid systems,
engineering and technical services to the oil and gas industry through its M-I
Fluids division. M-I's SWACO division manufactures and markets equipment and
services for solids control, pressure control, rig instrumentation and waste
management. M-I's revenues for the first quarter of 2000 increased $61.9
million, or 30 percent, from the same period in 1999, due to the impact of
increased deepwater drilling activity, new contracts awarded during the last
half of 1999 and formation of the drilling fluids venture with Schlumberger
Limited ("Schlumberger"). Excluding the impact of incremental revenues from the
acquired operations, M-I's revenues for the current period were 16 percent
higher than in the comparable quarter of 1999. The majority of the base business
revenue growth related to higher sales of synthetic fluids and engineering
services, primarily in the U.S. Gulf Coast area.



         Smith Bits manufactures and sells three-cone and diamond bits primarily
for use in the oil and gas industry. The unit also manufactures polycrystalline
diamond and cubic boron nitride materials which are used in drill bits and in
other specialized cutting tools. Smith Bits' revenues for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 increased $15.0 million, or

                                       10
<PAGE>   12

25 percent, from the same period in 1999. Increased drilling activity in North
America and new product introductions resulted in higher demand for the
Company's petroleum bits and accounted for a majority of the revenue
improvement.

         Smith Services manufactures and markets products and services used in
the oil and gas industry for drilling, workover, well completion and well
re-entry. Smith Services' revenues for the first quarter of 2000 increased $7.5
million, or 13 percent, from 1999 levels. Higher demand for inspection services
and tubular goods in North America due to higher drilling and production
activity accounted for the majority of the improvement from the prior year
quarter.

         Wilson markets pipe, valves, fittings, mill, safety and other
maintenance products to energy and industrial markets, primarily through an
extensive network of supply branches in the United States and Canada. Wilson's
revenues increased $144.0 million, or 196 percent, from the amounts reported for
the three months ended March 31, 1999. Acquisitions completed during the prior
twelve-month period accounted for the majority of the revenue growth over the
first quarter of 1999. Improvement in the base business operations also
contributed to the increase over the prior year quarter as, excluding the impact
of operations acquired and divested, Wilson's revenues were 28 percent above
first quarter 1999 levels. Base business revenues improved due to the effect of
increased U.S. activity levels on branch and line pipe sales.

         Total revenues for the first quarter of 2000 increased $228.4 million,
or 58 percent, from the prior year period. Approximately two-thirds of the
revenue increase was attributable to incremental revenues related to
distribution and drilling fluid operations acquired within the past twelve
months. After excluding the impact of acquired and divested operations, base
revenues were 19 percent above amounts reported in the first quarter of 1999.
The base revenue improvement is primarily attributable to increased demand for
the Company's products and services in North America related to improved
activity levels and, to a lesser extent, new product introductions. Base
revenues outside of North America also increased due, in part, to the impact of
drilling fluid contracts awarded in the last half of 1999.

         Gross profit increased $50.1 million from the first quarter of 1999 as
a result of the increased revenue volumes. As a percentage of revenues, gross
profit declined 2 percentage points from the prior year quarter. The decline in
gross profit margins is related to the growth in the distribution revenues,
which traditionally generate lower margins than the Company's oilfield products
and services operations. Although gross profit margin declines were not
experienced in either of the segments; changes in the revenue mix, as evidenced
by the increase in distribution revenues from 19 percent of total revenues in
the 1999 period to 35 percent in the first quarter of 2000, led to the overall
margin decline.

         Operating expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative
expenses, increased $34.7 million from the prior year quarter; however, on a
percentage of revenue basis, decreased 3 percentage points. Over two-thirds of
the dollar variance is attributable to incremental costs associated with
operations acquired during the past twelve months. To a lesser extent,
increased variable costs related to the higher revenue volumes contributed to
the period-to-period increase.

         Net interest expense, which represents interest expense less interest
income, decreased $3.3 million from the 1999 period. Proceeds from the sale of
an interest in M-I in July 1999 were used to repay outstanding indebtedness,
resulting in the interest expense reduction. This reduction was partially offset
by increased borrowings to finance acquisitions and higher activity-related
working capital requirements.

         The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2000 approximated 36
percent, which is a decrease from the 45 percent rate reported in the same
period of the prior year and is comparable to the U.S. statutory rate. The
effective tax rate was below the prior year rate due to the impact in the prior
year period of non-deductible costs associated with the sale of one of the
Company's mining operations.

         Minority interests reflect the portion of the results of majority-owned
operations which are applicable to the minority interest partners. Subsequent to
March 31, 1999, the Company sold a 40 percent ownership interest in M-I to
Schlumberger. The majority of the increase period-to-period results from the
minority interest sale.

</TABLE>

         Oilfield Products and Services Group revenues increased $84.4 million,
or 26 percent, from the first quarter of 1999, reflecting primarily the increase
in exploration and production activity in North America and incremental revenues
generated by the acquired drilling fluid operations. Income before interest and
taxes for the Oilfield Products and Services Group increased $9.8 million, or 41
percent, from the comparable 1999 period. The increase is attributable primarily
to the impact of higher revenues and improved fixed cost coverage.

         Distribution Group revenues increased $144.0 million, or 196 percent,
from the three months ended March 31, 1999. Incremental revenues generated by
the acquired operations and higher exploration activity in North America
accounted for the increase over the prior year quarter. The divestiture of
Wilson's OCTG operations in mid-1999 partially offset the increase. Income
before interest and taxes for the group increased $5.7 million from the prior
year period. This increase reflects primarily the impact of higher revenues and
improved gross profit margins.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

         Cash and cash equivalents increased $7.9 million from year-end 1999 and
equaled $32.0 million at March 31, 2000. The Company's operations used $36.9
million of cash flows in the first quarter of 2000, as compared to providing
$55.3 million in the first quarter of 1999. In the first quarter of 2000, the
effect of the increase in activity on operations resulted in higher working
capital requirements, primarily accounts receivable and inventories, in contrast
to the prior year quarter where declining activity favorably impacted these
working capital accounts.

         During the first quarter of 2000, the Company acquired Texas Mill
Supply and Manufacturing, Inc. for $30.0 million and invested $12.6 million in
property, plant and equipment, net of proceeds. Financing activities during the
period provided $87.5 million of cash flows, consisting of $74.0 million of
borrowings under credit facilities and $13.5 million in proceeds received on the
exercise of stock options.

         The Company's primary internal source of liquidity is cash flow
generated from operations. External sources of liquidity include debt and, if
needed, equity financing. Various revolving line of credit facilities, which are
available for operating and financing needs, had additional borrowing capacity
of $121.1 million at March 31, 2000. The Company believes funds generated from
operations, amounts available under existing credit facilities and external
sources of liquidity will be sufficient to finance capital expenditures and
working capital needs of the existing operations for the foreseeable future.

NEW ACCOUNTING AND REGULATORY PRONOUNCEMENTS

         The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which, as amended, is effective for fiscal
periods beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded and
measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in fair value be
recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are
met. The Company is currently quantifying the effect of adopting SFAS No. 133 on
its financial statements.
