ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

National Oilwell designs, manufactures and sells comprehensive systems,
components, and products used in oil and gas drilling and production, as well as
distributes products and provides services to the exploration and production
segment of the oil and gas industry.

Our Products and Technology segment designs and manufactures complete land
drilling and workover rigs, as well as drilling related systems on offshore
rigs. Technology has increased the desirability of one vendor assuming
responsibility for the entire suite of components used in the drilling process,
as mechanical and hydraulic components are replaced by or augmented with
integrated computerized systems. In addition to traditional components such as
drawworks (the hoisting winch used to raise and lower drill pipe), mud pumps
(used to circulate drilling fluids), top drives (used to turn drill pipe)
derricks, cranes, jacking and mooring systems (used to raise, lower and anchor
offshore jackup drilling rigs), and other structural components, we provide
automated pipehandling, control and electrical power systems. We have also
developed new technology for drawworks and mud pumps applicable to the highly
demanding offshore markets.

Non-capital products produced by our Products and Technology segment include
drilling motors and specialized downhole tools that are sold or rented, spare
parts and service on the large installed base of our equipment, expendable parts
for mud pumps and other equipment, and smaller downhole, progressive cavity and
transfer pumps.

Our Distribution Services segment provides maintenance, repair and operating
supplies and spare parts to drill site and production locations throughout North
America and to offshore contractors worldwide. Increasingly, this business also
is expanding to locations outside North America, including the Middle East,
Southeast Asia, and South America. Using our information technology platforms
and processes, we can provide complete procurement, inventory management, and
logistics services to our customers.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

National Oilwell's business strategy is to enhance its market positions and
operating performance in the upstream oil and gas business by:

Leveraging our Capital Equipment Installed Base

We believe our market position and comprehensive product offering present
substantial opportunities to capture a significant portion of expenditures for
the construction of new drilling rigs and equipment as well as the upgrade and
refurbishment of existing drilling rigs and equipment. Over the next few years,
the advanced age of the existing fleet of drilling rigs, coupled with drilling
activity involving greater depths and extended reach, is expected to generate
demand for new equipment. National Oilwell's automation and control systems
offer the potential to improve the performance of new and existing drilling
rigs. The large installed base of our equipment also provides recurring demand
for spare parts and expendable products necessary for proper and efficient
operation.

Expanding our Non-Capital Products Business

Our non-capital equipment revenues continue to represent over half of our
products and technology business. We rent and sell high-performance drilling
motors and downhole tools and in the manufacture of certain expendable products
and spare parts needed in the drilling and production process. We believe
additional expansion in the non-capital upstream oil and gas industry would be
beneficial to our business and our customers.



                                       1



Furthering our Information Technology and Process Improvement Strategy

National Oilwell has developed an integrated information technology and process
improvement strategy to enhance procurement, inventory management and logistics
activities. As a result of the need to improve industry efficiency, oil and gas
companies and drilling contractors are frequently seeking alliances with
suppliers, manufacturers and service providers to achieve cost and capital
improvements. We believe we are well positioned to provide these services as a
result of our:

         -        large and geographically diverse network of distribution
                  service centers in major oil and gas producing areas;

         -        strong relationship with a large community of industry
                  suppliers;

         -        knowledge of customers procurement processes, suppliers
                  capabilities and products performance; and

         -        information systems that offer customers and suppliers
                  enhanced capabilities.

In addition, the integration of our distribution expertise, extensive network
and growing base of customer alliances provides an increased opportunity for
cost-effective marketing of our manufactured parts and equipment.

Continuing our Acquisitions Strategy

We believe the oilfield service and equipment industry will continue to
experience consolidation as businesses seek to align themselves with other
market participants in order to gain access to broader markets and integrated
product offerings. From 1997 through January 2003, National Oilwell has made a
total of thirty-two acquisitions and plans to continue to participate in this
trend. While none of our individual acquisitions have materially affected the
development of our current business or the results of our operations, the
aggregate effect has positively impacted our ability to provide complete
drilling equipment systems to our customers.

OPERATIONS

Products and Technology

National Oilwell designs, manufactures and sells drilling systems and components
for both land and offshore drilling rigs as well as complete land drilling and
well servicing rigs. Mechanical components include drawworks, mud pumps, top
drives, solids control equipment (used to remove particulates from drilling
fluids), traveling equipment (hooks and blocks used to hoist and lower drill
pipe) and rotary tables (used to rotate drill pipe). These components are
essential to pump fluids and hoist, support and rotate the drill string. Many of
these components are designed specifically for applications in offshore,
extended reach and deep land drilling. This equipment is installed on new rigs
and often replaced during the upgrade and refurbishment of existing rigs.

We design and manufacture masts, derricks and substructures for use on land rigs
and on fixed and mobile offshore platforms suitable for drilling applications to
depths of up to 30,000 feet or more. Other products include cranes, jacking and
mooring systems, reciprocating and centrifugal pumps and fluid end expendables
for all major manufacturers' pumps. Our business includes the sale of
replacement parts for our own manufactured machinery and equipment.

We also design and manufacture electrical systems and control and data
acquisition systems for drilling related operations and automated and remotely
controlled machinery for drilling rigs. Our control systems can control and
monitor many simultaneous operations on a drilling rig and often form the basis
for our state-of-the-art driller's



                                       2



cabin. Our automated pipe handling system provides an efficient and cost
effective method of joining lengths of drill pipe or casing as does our iron
roughneck. These and similar technologically advanced products can greatly
improve the safety on rigs, often by reducing the number of persons working on
the drilling floor.

While offering a complete line of conventional rigs, National Oilwell has
extensive experience in providing rig designs to satisfy requirements for harsh
or specialized environments. Such products include drilling and well servicing
rigs designed for the Arctic, highly mobile drilling and well servicing rigs for
jungle and desert use, modular well servicing rigs for offshore platforms and
modular drilling facilities for North Sea platforms. We also design and produce
fully integrated drilling equipment packages for offshore rigs.

National Oilwell designs and manufactures drilling motors, drilling jars and
specialized drilling tools for rent and sale. We also design and manufacture a
complete line of fishing tools used to remove objects stuck in the wellbore.

Distribution Services

National Oilwell provides distribution services through its network of
approximately 150 distribution service centers. National Oilwell's distribution
service centers are located throughout the oil and gas producing regions of
North America, with 105 in the United States, 40 in Canada, and the remainder in
various international locations. These distribution service centers stock and
sell a variety of expendable items for oilfield applications and spare parts for
our proprietary equipment. As oil and gas companies and drilling contractors
have refocused on their core competencies and emphasized efficiency initiatives
to reduce costs and capital requirements, our distribution services have
expanded to offer outsourcing and alliance arrangements that include
comprehensive procurement, inventory management and logistics support. In
addition, we believe we have a competitive advantage in the distribution
services business by distributing products manufactured by us and from the
association of this business with our Products and Technology segment.

The supplies and equipment stocked by our distribution service centers vary by
location. Each distribution point generally offers a large line of oilfield
products including valves, fittings, flanges, spare parts for oilfield equipment
and miscellaneous expendable items.

Most drilling contractors and oil and gas companies typically buy supplies and
equipment pursuant to non-exclusive contracts, which normally specify a discount
from list price for each product or product category. Our goal is to create
strategic alliances with our customers whereby we become the customer's primary
supplier of those items. In certain cases, we assume responsibility for
procurement, inventory management and product delivery for the customer,
occasionally by working directly out of the customer's facilities.

We believe e-commerce brings a significant advantage to larger companies that
are technologically proficient. During the last few years, we have invested over
$20 million to improve our information technology systems. Our e-commerce system
can interface directly with customers' systems to maximize efficiencies for us
and for our customers. We believe we have an advantage in this effort due to our
investment in technology, geographic size, knowledge of the industry and
customers, existing relationships with vendors and existing means of product
delivery.

Marketing

Substantially all of our capital equipment and spare parts sales, and a large
portion of our smaller pumps and parts sales, are made through our direct sales
force and distribution service centers. Sales to foreign state-owned oil
companies are typically made in conjunction with agent or representative
arrangements. Our downhole products are generally rented and sold worldwide
through our own sales force and through commissioned representatives.
Distribution sales are made through our network of distribution service centers.
Customers for our products and services include drilling and other service
contractors, exploration and production companies, supply companies and
nationally owned or controlled drilling and production companies.



                                       3





Competition

The oilfield services and equipment industry is highly competitive and our
revenues and earnings can be affected by price changes, introduction of new
technologies and products and improved availability and delivery. National
Oilwell's Products and Technology business segment competes with several
companies in North America that have drilling products that compete directly
with certain of our products. National Oilwell's Distribution Services business
segment faces competition from various smaller regional competitors who leverage
geographic strength in a particular market area, as well as other multinational
distribution companies utilizing pricing power to compete. None of these
competing companies dominate in any of the business segments in which we
operate.

Manufacturing and Backlog

National Oilwell has manufacturing facilities located in the United States,
Canada, Norway and China. The manufacture of parts or purchase of components is
sometimes outsourced to qualified subcontractors. The manufacturing operations
require a variety of components, parts and raw materials which we purchase from
multiple commercial sources. We have not experienced and do not expect any
significant delays in obtaining deliveries of materials.

Sales of products are made on the basis of written orders and oral commitments.
Our backlog for equipment at recent year-ends has been:

             December 31, 2002      $364 million (includes $170 million from
                                     the Hydralift ASA acquisition)
             December 31, 2001       385 million
             December 31, 2000       282 million

Distribution Suppliers

National Oilwell obtains products sold by its Distribution Services business
from a number of suppliers, including our own Products and Technology segment.
No single supplier of products is significant to our operations. We have not
experienced and do not expect a shortage of products that we sell.

Engineering

National Oilwell maintains a staff of engineers and technicians to:

         -        design and test new products, components and systems for use
                  in drilling and pumping applications;

         -        enhance the capabilities of existing products; and

         -        assist our sales organization and customers with special
                  projects.

Our product engineering efforts focus on developing technology to improve the
economics and safety of drilling and production processes, and to emphasize
technology and complete drilling solutions.

Patents and Trademarks

National Oilwell owns or has a license to use a number of patents covering a
variety of products. Although in the aggregate these patents are of importance,
we do not consider any single patent to be of a critical or essential nature. In
general, our business has historically relied upon technological capabilities,
quality products and application of expertise rather than patented technology.



                                       4

RISK FACTORS

         You should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to
other information contained or incorporated by reference herein. Realization of
any of the following risks could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Demand for Our Products is Dependent Upon the Price of Oil and Gas and the
Willingness to Explore and Produce Oil and Gas.

         National Oilwell is dependent upon the oil and gas industry and its
willingness to explore for and produce oil and gas. The industry's willingness
to explore and produce depends upon the prevailing view of future product
prices. Many factors affect the supply and demand for oil and gas and therefore
influence product prices, including:

         o        level of production from known reserves;

         o        cost of producing oil and gas;

         o        level of drilling activity;

         o        worldwide economic activity;

         o        national government political requirements;

         o        development of alternate energy sources; and

         o        environmental regulations.

         If there is a significant reduction in demand for drilling services, in
cash flows of drilling contractors or production companies or in drilling or
well servicing rig utilization rates, then demand for our products will decline.

Volatile Oil and Gas Prices Affect Demand for Our Products.

         Oil and gas prices have been volatile since 1990, ranging from $10 -
$40 per barrel. Over the last three years, oil prices have generally ranged
within $20-$30 per barrel. Spot gas prices have also been volatile since 1990,
ranging from less than $1.00 per mmbtu of gas to above $10.00. Gas prices were
moderate in 1998 and 1999, generally ranging from $1.80 - $2.50 per mmbtu. Gas
prices in 2000 generally ranged from $4-$8 per mmbtu. In the second quarter of
2001, gas prices came under pressure, generally ranging between $2.20 to $3.00
per mmbtu through the first quarter of 2002. Gas prices have generally ranged
between $3.00 - $5.00 per mmbtu since that time.

         Expectations for future oil and gas prices cause many shifts in the
strategies and expenditure levels of oil and gas companies and drilling
contractors, particularly with respect to decisions to purchase major capital



                                       5



equipment of the type we manufacture. Industry activity and our revenues have
not responded to the higher commodity prices that have existed since the second
quarter of 2002, presumably due to concerns that these prices will not continue
in the current range. The oil and gas prices which are determined by the
marketplace may be above or below a range that is acceptable to our customers,
which could reduce demand for our products.

Competition in our Industry Could Ultimately Lead to Lower Revenues and
Earnings.

         The oilfield products and services industry is highly competitive. The
following competitive actions can each affect our revenues and earnings:

         o        price changes;

         o        new product and technology introductions; and

         o        improvements in availability and delivery.

         National Oilwell's Products and Technology business segment competes
with several companies in North America that have drilling products that compete
directly with certain of our products. National Oilwell's Distribution Services
business segment faces competition from various smaller regional competitors who
leverage geographic strength in a particular market area, as well as other
multinational distribution companies utilizing pricing power to compete.
Competition in our industry could lead to lower revenues and earnings.

Because Some of Our Products are Used in Potentially Hazardous Activities, We
Face Potential Product Liability and Warranty Claims.

         Customers use some of our products in potentially hazardous drilling,
completion and production applications that can cause:

         o        injury or loss of life;

         o        damage to property, equipment or the environment; and

         o        suspension of operations.

         National Oilwell may be named as a defendant in product liability or
other lawsuits asserting potentially large claims if an accident occurs at a
location where our equipment and services have been used. We are currently party
to various legal and administrative proceedings. The outcome of any such legal
or administrative proceedings could have an adverse effect on our financial
condition.

The Location of Some of our Customers in Foreign Markets that may have Unstable
Economies or Governments Could Have a Negative Impact on Our Revenues and
Operating Results.

         Some of our revenues depend upon customers in the Middle East, Africa,
Southeast Asia, South America and other international markets. These revenues
are subject to risks of instability of foreign economies and governments. Laws
and regulations limiting exports to particular countries can affect our sales,
and sometimes export laws and regulations of one jurisdiction contradict those
of another.

National-Oilwell Sells Products and Services Outside the United States. Changes
in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates Could Have a Negative Impact on our Revenues
and Operating Results.

         National Oilwell is exposed to the risks of changes in exchange rates
between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. Our Norwegian companies enter
into foreign exchange forward contracts, primarily between the Norwegian kroner
and the US dollar, to hedge cash flows on certain significant contracts. Our
decisions regarding



                                       6



the need for hedging foreign currencies in Norway and other countries can
adversely affect our operating results.

Our Growth Could Cause Difficulties Integrating Operations that We Acquire.

         National Oilwell has acquired 32 companies since April 1997, including
nine in 2001 and four in 2002. In addition, we acquired two other companies in
January 2003. We do not know whether suitable acquisition candidates will be
available on reasonable terms or if we will have access to adequate funds to
complete any desired acquisition. In addition, we may not be able to
successfully integrate the operations of the acquired companies. Combining
organizations could interrupt the activities of some or all of our businesses
and have a negative impact on operations.

Our Indebtedness Could Limit Our Ability to Borrow Additional Funds and/or Make
Us Vulnerable to General Adverse Economic and Industry Conditions.

In 1998, National Oilwell issued $150 million of 6 7/8% unsecured senior notes
due July 1, 2005. In 2001, we issued an additional $150 million of 6 1/2%
unsecured senior notes due March 15, 2011. In 2002, we issued $200 million of
5.65% unsecured senior notes due November 15, 2012. We also have a $175 million
revolving line of credit and approximately $200 million in availability under
various borrowing arrangements of our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries. Our
leverage requires us to use some of our cash flow from operations for payment of
interest on our debt. Our leverage may also make it more difficult to obtain
additional financing in the future. Further, our leverage could make us more
vulnerable to economic downturns and competitive pressures.

As of March 3, 2003, there were 537 holders of record of National Oilwell common
stock. Many stockholders choose to own shares through brokerage accounts and
other intermediaries rather than as holders of record so the actual number is
unknown but significantly higher. National Oilwell has never paid cash
dividends, and none are anticipated during 2003.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

We design, manufacture and sell drilling systems, drilling equipment and
downhole products as well as distribute maintenance, repair and operating
products to the oil and gas industry. Our revenues and operating results 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. Oil and gas prices have been and are likely to continue
to be volatile. See "Risk Factors".

We conduct our operations through the following segments:

Products and Technology

Our Products and Technology segment designs and manufactures complete land
drilling and workover rigs, and drilling related systems for offshore rigs.
Technology has increased the desirability of one vendor assuming responsibility
for the entire suite of components used in the drilling process, as mechanical
and hydraulic components are replaced by or augmented with integrated
computerized systems. In addition to traditional components such as drawworks,
mud pumps, top drives, derricks, cranes, jacking and mooring systems, and other
structural components, we provide automated pipehandling, control and electrical
power systems. We have also developed new technology for drawworks and mud pumps
applicable to the highly demanding offshore markets.

Distribution Services

Our Distribution Services segment provides maintenance, repair and operating
supplies and spare parts from our network of distribution service centers to
drill site and production locations throughout North America and to offshore
contractors worldwide. Increasingly, this business also is expanding to
locations outside North America, including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and
South America. Using our information technology platforms and processes, we can
provide complete procurement, inventory management, and logistics services to
our customers. Products are purchased from numerous manufacturers and vendors,
including our Products and Technology segment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating results by segment, which have been restated to reflect a business
combination accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method during 2000, are
as follows (in millions):

                                       11




Products and Technology

Products and Technology revenues in 2002 were $203.6 million (18%) lower than
the previous year as moderate oil and gas prices failed to sustain the 2001
levels of market activity in all product areas. Capital equipment revenues were
down $72 million while related spare parts and expendable parts were lower than
2001 by $38 million. Sales and rentals of downhole motors and fishing tools
decreased by approximately $74 million, impacted by its strong dependence on the
North American market. Operating income fell $44 million in 2002 when compared
to the prior year, impacted by the margin reduction due to the significantly
lower volume. Changes in sales price did not have any significant effect on
revenues compared to the prior year. The absence of amortization of goodwill in
2002, as required per the new accounting guidance, favorably impacted operating
income by $10.4 million. Reductions in compensation expense also contributed
approximately $11.0 million in operating income when compared to the prior year.
Revenues from the mid-December 2002 acquisition of Hydralift ASA, and the
consolidation of our Chinese joint venture, each contributed $8.0 million in
revenues and $0.3 million and $2.2 million in operating income, respectively.

Revenues for the Products and Technology segment in 2001 increased by $437.4
million (64 %) from 2000 as virtually all products experienced significant
revenue growth. Capital equipment revenues were up $285 million, drilling spares
up $35 million, expendable pumps and parts were higher by $47 million and
downhole tools increased $75 million. As a result of this robust growth in the
volume of product sales, operating income in 2001 increased by $110.0 million
from the prior year. Changes in sales price did not have any significant effect
on revenues compared to the prior year. Revenues from acquisitions completed in
2001 under the purchase method of accounting contributed $34 million in
incremental revenues.

Backlog of the Products and Technology capital products was $364 million at
December 31, 2002, $385 million at December 31, 2001 and $282 million at
December 31, 2000. Backlog at December 31, 2002 includes $170 million acquired
in late December through the purchase of Hydralift ASA. Substantially all of the
current backlog is expected to be shipped by mid-year 2004.

Distribution Services

Distribution Services revenues fell $21.6 million, or 3%, from the 2001 level as
this segment's strategy to create strategic alliances and expand its
international presence made significant market penetration during a difficult
market. North American revenues fell approximately 16% due to the lower activity
level while shipments in the international market almost doubled. Sales of our
own-make products increased almost 12% while maintenance, repair and operating
("MRO") supplies fell almost 5%. Changes in sales price did not have any
significant effect on revenues compared to the prior year. Operating income in
2002 was $10.4 million lower than the prior year. Margin reduction, due to the
lower volume and project bidding pressures, contributed to approximately 80% of
the operating income shortfall with the remainder due to significant
infrastructure growth.

Distribution Services revenues in 2001 increased $186.5 million from the 2000
level with all areas and products participating in the upswing that lasted until
the middle of the 4th quarter 2001. U.S. revenues of MRO supplies were up 44%
while Canadian revenues were 13% higher than the prior year. Changes in sales
price did not have any significant effect on revenues compared to the prior
year. Operating income in 2001 increased by $15.6 million from the prior year
due to the higher revenue volume and cost efficiencies linked to the new global
operating system. Revenues from acquisitions completed in 2001 under the
purchase method of accounting contributed $24 million in incremental revenues.

Corporate

Corporate charges represent the unallocated portion of centralized and executive
management costs. Year 2002 costs of $10.8 million reflect certain corporate-led
marketing initiatives and general overhead incurred to support a larger company.
Year 2001 costs of $10.2 million represents a 10% reduction from the prior year
as various e-strategy



                                       12



and e-commerce initiatives became operational. Year 2003 corporate charges are
expected to approximate $12 million due to recent acquisitions.

Special Charge

During 2000, we recorded a special charge, net of a $0.4 million credit from
previous special charges, of $14.1 million ($11.0 million after tax, or $0.14
per share) related to the merger with IRI International. Components of the
charge were (in millions):


                                        
Direct transaction costs                   $    6.6
Severance                                       6.4
Facility closures                               1.5
                                           --------
                                               14.5
Prior year reversal                            (0.4)
                                           --------
                                           $   14.1
                                           --------


The cash and non-cash elements of the charge approximated $13 million and $1.1
million, respectively. All direct cash outlays have been spent. Facility closure
costs consisted of lease cancellation costs and impairment of a closed
manufacturing facility that is classified with "Property held for sale" on our
balance sheet. All of this charge is applicable to the Products and Technology
business segment.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in 2002 totaled $24.1 million, an increase of $1.3 million from
the prior year. All of this increase is a direct result of our mid-November 2002
sale of $200 million of 5.65% unsecured senior notes. Our average borrowing cost
during 2002 of 6.4% remained the same as 2001. We expect our interest expense in
2003 to increase by at least $10 million as a result of our higher senior debt
level.

Despite continual borrowing rate declines during 2001, interest expense
increased approximately $5.5 million over 2000 due to our higher debt level to
support the working capital associated with the robust business climate. In
March 2001, we sold $150 million of 6 1/2% unsecured senior notes which
increased our total senior debt to $300 million. Year 2001 average monthly debt,
including the senior notes, was $334 million or $118 million (54%) greater than
the 2000 level.

Income Taxes

National Oilwell is subject to U.S. federal, state and foreign taxes and
recorded a combined tax rate of 35% in 2002, 38% in 2001 and 51% in 2000. The
2000 effective tax rate was impacted by certain transaction costs associated
with the IRI merger and the inclusion of pre-merger IRI capital losses due to
pooling-of-interests accounting that may not be deductible. Excluding the impact
of merger-related costs and capital losses, our combined effective tax rate for
2000 was 36%. We expect our tax rate in 2003 to approximate 34%.

We have net operating loss carryforwards in the United States that could reduce
future tax expense by up to $4.2 million. They expire at various dates through
2017. Additional loss carryforwards in Europe could reduce future tax expense by
$10.3 million and reduce goodwill $9.4 million if realized in the future. Due to
the uncertainty of future utilization of these loss carryforwards, $2.8 million
of the potential benefits in the U.S. and $9.6 million in Europe have been fully
reserved.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2002, National Oilwell had working capital of $768.9 million, an
increase of $137.6 million from December 31, 2001. The addition of Hydralift ASA
and consolidation of the Chinese joint venture accounted for $123.3 million of
this increase, including $78 million of the increase in cash. After considering
the Halco acquisition in January 2002 and the change in current deferred taxes,
the rest of the company reduced our need for working capital during 2002. Due to
a new revolving three-year credit facility put in place during July 2002, all of
our debt is of a long-term nature.



                                       13



Total capital expenditures were $24.8 million during 2002, $27.4 million in 2001
and $24.6 million in 2000. Additions and enhancements to the downhole rental
tool fleet and information management and inventory control systems represent
the majority of these capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are expected to
approximate $35 million in 2003, which should also approximate depreciation
expense in that year, with continued emphasis on rental tools and information
technology. We believe we have sufficient existing manufacturing capacity to
meet currently anticipated demand through 2003 for our products and services.

In November 2002, we sold $200 million of 5.65 % unsecured senior notes due
November 15, 2012. Proceeds were used to acquire Hydralift ASA. Interest is
payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year. In March 2001, we sold $150
million of 6.50 % unsecured senior notes due March 15, 2011, with interest
payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. In June 1998, we sold $150
million of 6.875 % unsecured senior notes due July 1, 2005, with interest
payments due annually on January 1 and July 1.

On July 30, 2002, we replaced the existing credit facility with a new three-year
unsecured $175 million revolving credit facility. This facility is available for
acquisitions and general corporate purposes and provides up to $50 million for
letters of credit, of which $22.0 million were outstanding at December 31, 2002.
Interest is based upon prime or Libor plus 0.5% subject to a ratings based grid.
In securing this new credit facility, we incurred approximately $0.9 million in
fees which will be amortized to expense over the term of the facility.

The senior notes contain reporting covenants and the credit facility contains
financial covenants and ratios regarding maximum debt to capital and minimum
interest coverage. We were in compliance with all covenants governing these
facilities at December 31, 2002.

We also have additional credit facilities totaling $223 million that are used
primarily for acquisitions, general corporate purposes and letters of credit.
Recently acquired Hydralift ASA represents $152 million of these facilities.
These multi-currency Hydralift committed facilities are secured by a guarantee,
contain financial covenants and expire in 2006. Borrowings against these
additional credit facilities totaled $93 million at December 31, 2002 and an
additional $39 million had been used for letters of credit and guarantees.

We believe cash generated from operations and amounts available under our credit
facilities and from other sources of debt will be sufficient to fund operations,
working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements and financing
obligations. We also believe any significant increase in capital expenditures
caused by any need to increase manufacturing capacity can be funded from
operations or through debt financing.

We have not entered into any transactions, arrangements, or relationships with
unconsolidated entities or other persons which would materially affect
liquidity, or the availability of or requirements for capital resources. A
summary of our outstanding contractual obligations and other commercial
commitments at December 31, 2002 is as follows (in thousands):

We intend to pursue additional acquisition candidates, but the timing, size or
success of any acquisition effort and the related potential capital commitments
cannot be predicted. We expect to fund future cash 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 acquisition funds will be available at terms acceptable to us.

Inflation has not had a significant impact on National Oilwell's operating
results or financial condition in recent years.

MARKET RISK DISCLOSURE

We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
Additional information concerning each of these matters follows:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

We have operations in foreign countries, including Canada, Norway and the United
Kingdom, as well as operations in Latin America, China and other European
countries. The net assets and liabilities of these operations are exposed to
changes in foreign currency exchange rates, although such fluctuations generally
do not affect income since their functional currency is the local currency. For
operations where our functional currency is not the local currency, such as
Singapore and Venezuela, the net asset or liability position is insignificant
and, therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates are not expected to
have a material impact on earnings.

Some of our revenues in foreign countries are denominated in US dollars, and
therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact our earnings to the
extent that costs associated with those US dollar revenues are denominated in
the local currency. In order to mitigate that risk, we may utilize foreign
currency forward contracts to better match the currency of our revenues and
associated costs. We do not use foreign currency forward contracts for trading
or speculative purposes. The counterparties to these contracts are major
financial institutions, which minimizes counterparty credit risk.

The impact of foreign currency exchange rates has not materially affected our
results of operations in any of the last three years. We do not believe that a
hypothetical 10% movement in these foreign currencies would have a material
impact on our earnings.



                                       15




Interest Rate Risk

Our long term borrowings consist of $150 million in 6.875% senior notes, $150
million in 6.5% senior notes and $200 million in 5.65% senior notes. We also
have borrowings under our other facilities totaling $94.6 million at December
31, 2002. A portion of the borrowings are denominated in multiple currencies
which could expose us to market risk with exchange rate movements. These
instruments carry interest at a pre-agreed upon percentage point spread from
either the prime interest rate, LIBOR or NIBOR. Under our credit facilities, we
may, at our option, fix the interest rate for certain borrowings based on a
spread over LIBOR or NIBOR for 30 days to 6 months. Based upon our December 31,
2002 borrowings under our variable rate facilities of $94.6 million, an
immediate change of one percent in the interest rate would cause a change in
annual interest expense of approximately $0.9 million. Our objective in
maintaining a portion of our debt in variable rate borrowings is the flexibility
obtained regarding early repayment without penalties and lower overall cost as
compared with fixed-rate borrowings.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Our estimation process generally relates to
potential bad debts, obsolete and slow moving inventory, value of intangible
assets, and deferred income tax accounting. Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements contains the accounting policies governing each of these matters. Our
estimates are based on historical experience and on our future expectations that
we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The combination of these
factors result in the amounts shown as carrying values of assets and liabilities
in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from our current estimates and those differences may be material.

We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivables by
providing for specifically identified accounts where collectibility is doubtful
and a general allowance based on the aging of the receivables compared to past
experience and current trends. A majority of our revenues come from drilling
contractors, independent oil companies, international oil companies and
government-owned or government-controlled oil companies, and we have
receivables, some denominated in local currency, in many foreign countries. If,
due to changes in worldwide oil and gas drilling activity or changes in economic
conditions in certain foreign countries, our customers were unable to repay
these receivables, additional allowances would be required.

Allowances for inventory obsolescence are determined based on our historical
usage of inventory on-hand as well as our future expectations related to our
substantial installed base and the development of new products. The amount
reserved is the recorded cost of the inventory minus its estimated realizable
value. Changes in worldwide oil and gas drilling activity and the development of
new technologies associated with the drilling industry could require additional
allowances to reduce the value of inventory to the lower of its cost or net
realizable value.

We account for our defined benefit pension plans in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions (FAS
87), which requires that amounts recognized in the financial statements be
determined on an actuarial basis. Significant elements in determining our
pension income or expense in accordance with FAS 87 is the discount rate
assumption and the expected return on plan assets. The discount rate used
approximates the weighted average rate of return on high-quality fixed income
investments whose maturities match the expected payouts. The expected return on
plan assets is based upon the geometric mean of historical returns of a number
of different equities, including stocks, bonds and U.S. treasury bills. The
assumed long-term rate of return on assets is applied to a calculated value of
plan assets, which results in an estimated return on plan assets that is
included in current year pension income or expense. The difference between this
expected return and the actual return on plan assets is deferred and amortized
against future pension income or expense. A substantial portion of our pension
amounts relate to its defined benefit plans in the United States and the United
Kingdom. During 2000, 2001 and 2002, we assumed that the expected long-term rate
of return on plan assets for these plans would be between 6.3% and 8.0%. Prior
to 2001, our actual cumulative long-term rate of return on the pension



                                       16



assets of these plans was in excess of these amounts; however, these plans'
assets have recently earned substantially less than the assumed rates of return.
The impact of our pension plans on our 2002 results of operations, cash flow and
liquidity has been immaterial but recent actual returns of the plan assets may
effect future contributions to the plans and our earnings. The amount of
unrecognized losses on pension assets is $31.8 million. For 2003, we have
lowered the assumed rates of return to between 6.0% and 7.0%, depending on the
plan. As a result of this and other factors, we believe there will be an
increase in pension expense of approximately $0.5-$1.0 million for 2003.

Business acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The cost of the acquired company is allocated to identifiable tangible and
intangible assets based on estimated fair value, with the excess allocated to
goodwill. On at least an annual basis, we assess whether goodwill is impaired.
Our annual impairment tests are performed at the beginning of the 4th quarter of
each year. If we determine that goodwill is impaired, we measure that impairment
based on the amount by which the book value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair
value. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by deducting the fair
value of a reporting unit's identifiable assets and liabilities from the fair
value of that reporting unit as a whole. Additional impairment assessments may
be performed on an interim basis if we encounter events or changes in
circumstances that would indicate that, more likely than not, the carrying
amount of goodwill has been impaired. The fair value of the reporting units is
determined based on internal management estimates that considers multiple
valuation techniques.

Our net deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded at the amount that is
more likely than not to be realized or paid. Should we determine that we would
not be able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax asset in the future,
an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the
period of such determination.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 2, 2003, we acquired LSI, a Houston, Texas based distributor of
specialty electrical products, for approximately $13 million. This transaction
generated approximately $6 million in goodwill and is complementary to our
distribution services business.

On January 16, 2003, we acquired the Mono pumping products business from
Halliburton Energy Services for approximately $89 million, consisting of $22.7
million in cash and 3.2 million shares of our common stock. This transaction,
which consisted of purchasing all the outstanding stock of Monoflo, Inc. in the
United States and Mono Group in the United Kingdom, generated approximately $46
million in goodwill and will add to the non-capital product lines within our
Products and Technology segment.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement on Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations", which sets forth the accounting and reporting to be followed for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the
associated asset retirement costs and SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", addresses disposal activities and
termination costs in exiting an activity. These pronouncements are generally
effective January 1, 2003. The Company believes the adoption of these new
accounting pronouncements will not have a significant impact on its results of
operations or financial position.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the information in this document contains, or has incorporated by
reference, forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical facts,

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
National-Oilwell, Inc.

         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
National-Oilwell, Inc., as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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 consolidated financial position of
National-Oilwell, Inc., at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

         As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in
2002 the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NATURE OF BUSINESS

We design, manufacture and sell comprehensive systems, components, and products
used in oil and gas drilling and production, as well as distribute products and
provide supply chain integration services to the upstream oil and gas industry.
Our revenues and operating results 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. Oil and gas
prices have been and are likely to continue to be volatile.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
National-Oilwell, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments that are not wholly-owned, but where we exercise control, are fully
consolidated with the equity held by minority owners reflected as minority
interest in the accompanying balance sheet and their portion of net income
(loss) is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying statement of
operations. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, over which we exercise
significant influence, but not control, are accounted for by the equity method.
Investments in which we exercise no control or significant influence would be
accounted for under the cost method.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash
equivalents, receivables, and payables approximated fair value because of the
relatively short maturity of these instruments. Cash equivalents include only
those investments having a maturity date of three months or less at the time of
purchase. The carrying values of other financial instruments approximate their
respective fair values.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We record all derivative financial instruments at their fair value in our
consolidated balance sheet. All derivative financial instruments we hold are
designated as cash flow hedges and are highly effective in offsetting movements
in the underlying risks. Accordingly, gains and losses from changes in the fair
value of derivative financial instruments are deferred and recognized in
earnings as the underlying transactions occur. Because our derivative financial
instruments are so closely related to the underlying transactions, hedge
ineffectiveness is insignificant.

We use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate our exposure to changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on firm sale commitments to better match the
local currency cost components of our fixed US dollar contracts. Such
arrangements typically have terms between three months and one year, depending
upon the customer's purchase order. We also use, from time to time, interest
rate contracts to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates on
anticipated long-term debt issuances. These contracts are typically short term
in nature. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes.



                                       30




Inventories

Inventories consist of oilfield products, manufactured equipment, manufactured
specialized drilling products and downhole motors and spare parts for
manufactured equipment and drilling products. Inventories are stated at the
lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out or average cost methods.
Allowances for excess and obsolete inventories are determined based on our
historical usage of inventory on-hand as well as our future expectations related
to our substantial installed base and the development of new products. The
amount reserved, which totaled $49.4 million and $49.1 million at December 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively, is the recorded cost of the inventory minus its
estimated realizable value. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories have
been immaterial in recent years.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major
improvements that extend the lives of property and equipment are capitalized
while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated depreciation with any
resulting gain or loss reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using
the straight-line method or declining balance method over the estimated useful
lives of individual items. Depreciation expense was $25.0 million, $27.1 million
and $24.7 million for the years ending December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.

Long-lived Assets

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS 144 superceded SFAS 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of". The adoption of SFAS 144 had no effect on our results of operations. We
record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and
circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying
amount of those assets. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is
reduced to fair value if lower than carrying value. In determining the fair
market value of the assets, we consider market trends and recent transactions
involving sales of similar assets, or when not available, discounted cash flow
analysis. Impairments of our equity investments would be recognized when
declines in market values below carrying amounts were considered other than
temporary.

Assets Held for Sale

In the course of integrating acquisitions and streamlining operations, we have
closed certain manufacturing facilities. Facilities where we have a formal plan
to sell the facility are classified as held for sale. We expect these facilities
to be sold within one year but market conditions may impact our ability to sell
the facilities. When we designate an asset as held for sale, we record its
carrying value at the lower of its current carrying amount or the estimated fair
value less costs to sell and stop recording depreciation expense. Carrying
values are adjusted to reflect any subsequent deterioration in fair value.

Intangible Assets

Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of
the related debt security. Beginning in 2002, we adopted FAS 142 "Accounting for
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and accordingly stopped amortizing
goodwill that arose from acquisitions before June 30, 2001. We also performed an
impairment test as of the beginning of 2002 that indicated no impairment of
goodwill or other intangibles. The effect of not amortizing goodwill and other
intangibles in periods prior to adoption follows (in thousands):

On at least an annual basis, we assess whether goodwill is impaired. Our annual
impairment tests are performed at the beginning of the 4th quarter of each year.
Our annual impairment test indicated no impairment. If we determine that
goodwill is impaired, we measure that impairment based on the amount by which
the book value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The implied fair
value of goodwill is determined by deducting the fair value of a reporting
unit's identifiable assets and liabilities from the fair value of that reporting
unit as a whole. Additional impairment assessments may be performed on an
interim basis if we encounter events or changes in circumstances that would
indicate that, more likely than not, the carrying amount of goodwill has been
impaired. Fair value of the reporting units is determined based on internal
management estimates.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency for our Canadian, United Kingdom, Norwegian, German,
Netherlands and Australian operations is the local currency. The cumulative
effects of translating the balance sheet accounts from the functional currency
into the U.S. dollar at current exchange rates are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange
rates in effect during the period. The U.S. dollar is used as the functional
currency for the Singapore and Venezuelan operations. Accordingly, financial
statements of these foreign subsidiaries are remeasured to U.S. dollars for
consolidation purposes using current rates of exchange for monetary assets and
liabilities and historical rates of exchange for nonmonetary assets and related
elements of expense. Revenue and other expense elements are remeasured at rates
that approximate the rates in effect on the transaction dates. For all
operations, gains or losses from remeasuring foreign currency transactions into
the functional currency are included in income. Foreign currency transactions
losses/(gains) were $0.3 million, $0.6 million and $(1.4) million for the years
ending December 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Our products and services are generally sold based upon purchase orders or
contracts with the customer that include fixed or determinable prices and that
do not include right of return or other similar provisions or other significant
post delivery obligations. Except for the construction of large rig packages, we
record revenue at the time delivery has occurred, the customer has been provided
with all proper inspection and other required documentation, title and risk of
loss has passed to the customer and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Customer advances or deposits are deferred and recognized as revenue when we
have completed all of our performance obligations related to the sale. We also
recognize revenue as services are performed and as rental charges are



                                       32



incurred. The amounts billed for shipping and handling costs are included in
revenue and related costs are included in costs of sales.

Revenues for the construction of large rig packages are reported on the
percentage of completion method of accounting. Revenues and gross profit are
recognized as work is performed based upon the relationship between actual costs
incurred and total expected costs at completion. All known or anticipated losses
on contracts are provided for immediately in earnings.

Income Taxes

The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred
tax assets to amounts which are more likely than not to be realized.

Concentration of Credit Risk

We grant credit to our customers, which operate primarily in the oil and gas
industry. We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers' financial
condition and generally do not require collateral, but may require letters of
credit for certain international sales. We maintain an allowance for doubtful
accounts for accounts receivables by providing for specifically identified
accounts where collectibility is doubtful and an additional allowance based on
the aging of the receivables compared to past experience and current trends.
Accounts receivable are net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately
$12.6 million and $9.1 million at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

We use the intrinsic value method in accounting for our stock-based employee
compensation plans.

Environmental Liabilities

When environmental assessments or remediations are probable and the costs can be
reasonably estimated, remediation liabilities are recorded on an undiscounted
basis and are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect reported and contingent amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement on Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations", which sets forth the accounting and reporting to be followed for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the
associated asset retirement costs and SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", addresses disposal activities and
termination costs in exiting an activity. These pronouncements are generally
effective January 1, 2003. The Company believes the adoption of these new
accounting pronouncements will not have a significant impact on its results of
operations or financial position.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Year 2002

On December 18, 2002, we completed a cash tender offer for 92% of the common
shares of Hydralift ASA, a Norwegian based company specializing in the offshore
drilling equipment industry. By December 31, 2002, we had substantially
completed the acquisition of the remaining shares for a total purchase price,
including the assumption of debt, of approximately $300 million. The results of
Hydralift's operations have been included in our income statement since the
acquisition date.

As a result of this acquisition, we strengthened our position in the offshore
drilling market and gained access to new product lines that complement our
existing product offerings. The combination of our product offerings will open
new markets to us, particularly within the FPSO (floating production storage and
offloading) market.


                                       34


The purchase price will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on their relative fair values. A preliminary allocation of the
purchase price follows (in thousands):

                                              ========


The final allocation of the purchase price will be based upon independent
appraisals and other valuations and may reflect other actions including product
line rationalizations or other actions. All of the goodwill from this
acquisition will be allocated to the Products and Technology segment and will be
fully deductible for tax purposes.

The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the acquisition of
Hydralift had occurred as of the beginning of each year shown (in thousands):



                         2002           2001

Net income                87,148        116,718
Per diluted share     $     1.07     $     1.43


Adjustments made to derive the pro forma data relate principally to acquisition
financing. These results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would
have occurred if the acquisition had happened as of the beginning of 2002 or
2001 nor are they indicative of future results. The estimated effects of cost
reductions arising from the acquisition of Hydralift have been excluded.

In January 2002, we also completed the acquisition of the assets and business of
HAL Oilfield Pump & Equipment Company for approximately $16 million. This
business, which designs, manufactures and distributes centrifugal pumps, pump
packages and expendable parts, is complementary to our Mission pump product
line. Goodwill related to this acquisition was approximately $10 million and is
fully deductible for tax purposes.

During 2002 we also acquired two other businesses for approximately $1.2 million
in cash.


                                       35


Year 2001

In 2001, we acquired nine companies for an aggregate of $51 million in cash.
Individual purchase prices ranged from $0.6 million to $16.5 million. Each of
these acquisitions enhanced or expanded our market position within each of our
segments. Five of these acquisitions related to our Products and Technology
segment, including Integrated Power Systems, Maritime Hydraulics (Canada) Ltd.,
Tech Power Controls Company, Houston Scientific International, Inc. and Rigquip
UK business and related assets. The remaining acquisitions, including Demij (a
Netherlands distribution company), Rye Supply Company, Inc., Texas Oil Works
Supply, Inc. and Well-Serv, Inc. related to our Distribution segment. Aggregate
goodwill relating to these acquisitions was $30 million and approximately half
of this amount is deductible for tax purposes.

Year 2000

In February 2000, the merger with Hitec ASA was completed for approximately $158
million as we issued 7.9 million shares of common stock. This transaction was
accounted for as a purchase effective February 1, 2000 and generated goodwill of
approximately $150 million.

In June 2000, IRI International Corporation was merged with the Company and
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. We issued 13.5 million shares of common
stock valued at approximately $447 million.

During 2000 we also acquired four other businesses for approximately $48 million
in cash. The purchase method of accounting was used to account for these
acquisitions and generated approximately $9 million in goodwill.

Subsequent Events

On January 2, 2003, we acquired LSI, a Houston, Texas based distributor of
specialty electrical products, for approximately $13 million. This transaction
generated approximately $6 million in goodwill and is complementary to our
distribution services business.

On January 16, 2003 we acquired the Mono pumping products business from
Halliburton Energy Services for approximately $89 million, consisting of $22.7
million in cash and 3.2 million shares of our common stock. This transaction,
which consisted of purchasing all the outstanding stock of Monoflo, Inc. in the
United States and Mono Group in the United Kingdom, generated approximately $46
million in goodwill.

In November 2002, we sold $200 million of 5.65 % unsecured senior notes due
November 15, 2012. Proceeds were used to acquire Hydralift ASA. Interest is
payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year. In March 2001, we sold $150
million of 6.50 % unsecured senior notes due March 15, 2011, with interest
payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. In June 1998, we sold $150
million of 6.875 % unsecured senior notes due July 1, 2005, with interest
payments due annually on January 1 and July 1.

On July 30, 2002, we replaced the existing credit facility with a new three-year
unsecured $175 million revolving credit facility. This facility is available for
acquisitions and general corporate purposes and provides up to $50 million for
letters of credit, of which $22.0 million were outstanding at December 31, 2002.
Interest is based upon prime or Libor plus 0.5% subject to a ratings based grid.
In securing this new credit facility, we incurred approximately $0.9 million in
fees which will be amortized to expense over the term of the facility.

The senior notes contain reporting covenants and the credit facility contains
financial covenants and ratios regarding maximum debt to capital and minimum
interest coverage. We were in compliance with all covenants governing these
facilities at December 31, 2002.

We also have additional credit facilities totaling $223 million that are used
primarily for acquisitions, general corporate purposes and letters of credit.
Recently acquired Hydralift ASA


                                       37


represents $152 million of these facilities. These multi-currency Hydralift
committed facilities are secured by a guarantee, contain financial covenants and
expire in 2006. These instruments carry interest at a pre-agreed upon percentage
point spread from either the prime interest rate or NIBOR. Borrowings against
these additional credit facilities totaled $93 million at December 31, 2002 and
an additional $39 million had been used for letters of credit and guarantees.

6. PENSION PLANS

National Oilwell and its consolidated subsidiaries have pension plans covering
substantially all of its employees. Defined-contribution pension plans cover
most of the U.S. and Canadian employees and are based on years of service, a
percentage of current earnings and matching of employee contributions. For the
years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, pension expense for
defined-contribution plans was $9.1 million, $6.0 million and $4.2 million, and
all funding is current.

Certain retired or terminated employees of predecessor or acquired companies
also participate in defined benefit plans in the United States which have been
retained by National Oilwell subsidiaries but which no longer accrue benefits.
Active employees are ineligible to participate in any of these defined benefit
plans. Our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom have a defined benefit pension
plan whose participants are primarily retired and terminated employees who are
no longer accruing benefits. In addition, approximately 160 U.S. retirees and
spouses participate in defined benefit health care plans of predecessor or
acquired companies that provide postretirement medical and life insurance
benefits. Pension assets are principally invested in a fixed income bond fund,
equity securities, United Kingdom government securities and cash deposits.

In addition, our subsidiaries in Norway have defined benefit pension plans. The
pension plan assets are invested primarily in equity securities, overseas bonds,
real estate and cash deposits. At December 31, 2002, the plan assets at fair
market value and the projected benefit obligation were approximately $12.0
million.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We lease land, buildings, storage facilities, vehicles, data processing
equipment and software under operating leases expiring in various years through
2012. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was
$21.2 million, $19.0 million and $12.6 million. Our minimum rental commitments
for operating leases at December 31, 2002 were as follows: 2003 - $17.7 million;
2004 - $13.8 million; 2005 - $9.9 million; 2006 - $6.8 million; 2007 - $5.8
million and subsequent to 2007 - $9.7 million.

We are involved in various claims, regulatory agency audits and pending or
threatened legal actions involving a variety of matters. The total liability on
these matters at December 31, 2002 cannot be determined; however, in our
opinion, any ultimate liability, to the extent not otherwise provided for,
should not materially affect our financial position, liquidity or results of
operations.

Our business is affected both directly and indirectly by governmental laws and
regulations relating to the oilfield service industry in general, as well as by
environmental and safety regulations that specifically apply to our business.
Although we have not incurred material costs in connection with our compliance
with such laws, there can be no assurance that other developments, such as
stricter environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder
could not result in additional, presently unquantifiable costs or liabilities to
us.

9. COMMON STOCK

National Oilwell has authorized 150 million shares of $.01 par value common
stock. We also have authorized 10 million shares of $.01 par value preferred
stock, none of which is issued or outstanding.

Under the terms of National Oilwell's Stock Award and Long-Term Incentive Plan,
as amended, 8.4 million shares of common stock are authorized for the grant of
options to officers, key employees, non-employee directors and other persons.
Options granted under our stock option plan generally vest over a three-year
period starting one year from the date of grant and expire five or ten years
from the date of grant. The purchase price of options granted may not be less
than the market price of National Oilwell common stock on the date of grant. At
December 31, 2002, approximately 4.2 million shares were available for future
grants.

We also have inactive stock option plans that were acquired in connection with
the acquisitions of Dreco Energy Services, Ltd. in 1997, and of Hitec ASA and
IRI International Corporation in 2000. We converted the outstanding stock
options under these plans to options to acquire our common stock and no further
options are being issued under these plans. Stock option information summarized
below includes amounts for the National Oilwell Stock Award and Long-Term
Incentive Plan and stock plans of acquired companies.

Options outstanding at December 31, 2002 under the stock option plans have
exercise prices between $5.62 and $40.50 per share, and expire at various dates
from February 19, 2003 to August 15, 2012.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2002, 2001 and 2000
was approximately $8.95, $22.04, and $15.70 per share, respectively, as
determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Assuming that we had
accounted for our stock-based compensation using the alternative fair value
method of accounting under FAS No. 123 and amortized the fair value to expense
over the option's vesting period, our net income and net income per share would
have been (in thousands, except per share data):

In the United States, the Company has $12.0 million of net operating loss
carryforwards as of December 31, 2002, which expire at various dates through
2017. These operating losses were acquired primarily in the combination with
Dreco Energy Services, Ltd. and are associated with Dreco's US subsidiary. As a
result of share exchanges occurring since the date of the combination resulting
in a more than 50% aggregate change in the beneficial ownership of Dreco, the
availability of these loss carryforwards to reduce future United States federal
taxable income may have become subject to various limitations under Section 382
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, these net
operating losses can only be used to offset separate company taxable income of
Dreco's US subsidiary. Since the ultimate realization of these net operating
losses is uncertain, the related potential benefit of $4.2 million has been
recorded with a $2.8 million valuation allowance. Future income tax expense will
be reduced if the Company ultimately realizes the benefit of these net operating
losses.


                                       45


Also in the United States, the Company has $9.1 million of capital loss
carryforwards as of December 31, 2002, which expire at various dates through
2005. The related potential benefit of $3.5 million has been recorded with a
valuation allowance of $3.5 million. These capital losses are not available to
reduce future operating income but are expected to be realized as deductions
against future capital gains. The Company has $ 15.1 million of excess foreign
tax credits as of December 31, 2002, which expire at various dates through 2006.
These credits have been allotted a valuation allowance of $ 14.1 million and
would be realized as a reduction of future income tax expense.

Outside the United States, the company has $67.5 million of net operating loss
carryforwards as of December 31, 2002. Of this amount, $65.3 million will expire
at various dates through 2012 and $2.2 million is available indefinitely. The
related potential benefit available of $19.7 million has been recorded with a
valuation allowance of $9.6 million. If the Company ultimately realizes the
benefit of these net operating losses, $9.4 million would reduce goodwill and
other intangible assets and $10.3 million would reduce income tax expense.

The deferred tax valuation allowance increased $0.4 million for the period
ending December 31, 2002 and $1.2 million for the period ending December 31,
2001. These increases resulted primarily from the recognition of additional
excess foreign tax credits that may not be realized in the future.
National-Oilwell's deferred tax assets are expected to be realized principally
through future earnings.

Undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries amounted to $193.4
million and $149.2 million at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
respectively. Those earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested and no
provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been made. Distribution of
these earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise could result in either U.S.
federal taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding
taxes payable in various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of
unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practical; however,
unrecognized foreign tax credit carryforwards would be available to reduce some
portion of the U.S. liability. Withholding taxes of approximately $23.4 million
would be payable upon remittance of all previously unremitted earnings at
December 31, 2002.

11. SPECIAL CHARGE

During 2000, we recorded a special charge, net of a $0.4 million credit from
previous special charges, of $14.1 million ($11.0 million after tax, or $0.14
per share) related to the merger with IRI International. Components of the
charge were (in millions):


                                   
Direct transaction costs              $ 6.6
Severance                               6.4
Facility closures                       1.5
                                      -----
                                       14.5
Prior year reversal                    (0.4)
                                      -----
                                      $14.1
                                      -----


The cash and non-cash elements of the charge approximated $13 million and $1.1
million, respectively. All direct cash outlays have been spent. Facility closure
costs consisted of lease cancellation costs and impairment of a closed
manufacturing facility that is classified with "Property held for sale" on our
balance sheet. All of this charge is applicable to the Products and Technology
business segment.


                                       46


12. BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

National Oilwell's operations consist of two segments: Products and Technology
and Distribution Services. The Products and Technology segment designs and
manufactures a variety of oilfield equipment for use in oil and gas drilling,
completion and production activities. The Distribution Services segment
distributes an extensive line of oilfield supplies and equipment. Intersegment
sales and transfers are accounted for at commercial prices and are eliminated in
consolidation. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same
as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies of the
Company. The Company evaluates performance of each reportable segment based upon
its operating income, excluding non-recurring items.

No single customer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated revenues during the
three years ended December 31, 2002.

                                       47
