              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
and all applicable financial statement rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pertaining to interim financial
information. These interim financial statements do not include all information
or footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2001
Annual Report on Form 10-K and other current filings with the Commission. All
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring
nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial
statements have been included.

         Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosed amounts of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses. If the underlying estimates and assumptions, upon
which the financial statements are based, change in future periods, actual
amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying consolidated
condensed financial statements.

         Management believes the consolidated condensed financial statements
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
Smith International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of the dates
indicated. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001 may not be indicative of results for the fiscal
year.

         From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") which are adopted by the
Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed,
management believes the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet
effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements upon adoption.


2. BUSINESS COMBINATION

         In July 2002, the Company acquired certain turbodrilling assets of
Neyrfor-Weir Ltd. in exchange for cash consideration of $25.3 million. The
acquired operations, which design proprietary turbodrilling equipment and
provide related services for horizontal and directional drilling applications,
have been integrated into the Company's Oilfield Products and Services segment.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the acquired operations reported
revenues of approximately $17 million.

         This 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 date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase
price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded
as goodwill. The purchase price allocation related to this acquisition is based
upon preliminary information and is subject to change when additional data
concerning final asset and liability valuations is obtained. Material changes in
the preliminary allocations are not anticipated by management.

    Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect
of this acquisition was not material to the Company's consolidated condensed
financial statements.

3. NON-RECURRING CHARGES

         During the first quarter of 2002, the Company recognized non-recurring
charges totaling $7.9 million, or $3.4 million net of taxes and minority
interests. The first quarter charge included a $4.3 million provision for losses
on receivables in Argentina attributable to local economic events. The provision
was necessitated by Argentinean legislation, which required the Company to
settle certain U.S. dollar-denominated transactions in pesos. The remainder of
the charge related to restructuring efforts undertaken in response to
activity-level declines, the primary component of which is severance costs
incurred in connection with employee terminations. All such restructuring costs
have been paid prior to September 30, 2002.

         In the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements, $5.8
million of the charges are included in general and administrative expenses, $1.7
million are reflected in selling expenses with the remainder recorded as cost of
revenues.


4. STOCK SPLIT

         On June 6, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
two-for-one stock split, effected in the form of a stock dividend. Stockholders
of record as of June 20, 2002 were entitled to the dividend, which was
distributed on July 8, 2002.

         The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet includes the reclassification
of $50.7 million from additional paid-in capital to the common stock account, in
order to reflect the transaction. Additionally, all prior year amounts included
in the financial statements related to weighted average shares outstanding and
earnings per share amounts have been restated for the effect of the stock split.


5. 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.
Certain outstanding employee stock options were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per common share, as the exercise price was greater than the
average market price for the Company's stock during the corresponding period.
The following schedule reconciles the income and shares used in the basic and
diluted EPS computations (in thousands, except per share data):

8. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

         On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 142 ("SFAS
No. 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which addresses financial
accounting and reporting matters. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company
discontinued amortizing goodwill to earnings as of January 1, 2002. The
Statement also requires that goodwill be tested for impairment on an annual
basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that an impairment may
exist.

         During the first quarter of 2002, the Company completed the
transitional impairment test required by SFAS No. 142 for goodwill recorded as
of the adoption date. The transitional goodwill impairment test involved a
comparison of the fair value of each of the Company's reporting units, as
defined, with their carrying value and resulted in the identification of no
impairment.

         The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations
provide relevant disclosures related to recorded goodwill amortization and the
after-tax impact which would have resulted from the adoption of SFAS No. 142 as
of January 1, 2001.

         The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of September
30, 2002 includes $41.3 million of intangible assets, which are classified in
Other Assets. The Company amortizes identifiable intangible assets, generally
consisting of patents, trademarks and non-compete agreements, on a straight-line
basis over their expected useful lives, which range from three to 27 years. The
adoption of SFAS No. 142 also required the Company to re-evaluate the remaining
useful lives of its intangible assets to determine whether the periods being
used were appropriate. No changes to the carrying value of the intangibles, nor
the remaining useful lives, were recorded as a result of the review.

         In the second quarter of 2002, the Company repurchased and retired
$30.0 million of its 6.75 percent public notes maturing in 2011. In connection
with the transaction, the Company recorded $0.5 million of termination costs
related to the repurchase, consisting primarily of the prorata portion of
unamortized discount and issuance costs associated with the 6.75 percent notes.

         In July 2002, the Company replaced its $200.0 million revolving credit
facility, which was scheduled to expire in December 2002, with a new three-year,
$400.0 million facility provided by a syndicate of nine financial institutions.
The revolving credit agreement (the "Agreement") allows for the election of
interest at a base rate, or a Eurodollar rate ranging from LIBOR plus 62.5 to
75.0 basis points depending on amounts drawn under the facility. The Agreement
also requires the payment of a quarterly commitment fee on the unutilized
portion of the facility and compliance with certain customary covenants,
including maintenance of specified debt-to-total capitalization and interest
coverage ratios, as defined.

11. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS

         The Company's Board of Directors and its stockholders have authorized
an employee stock option plan. As of September 30, 2002, 5.0 million shares were
issued and outstanding under the program and an additional 4.6 million shares
were authorized for future issuance. Options are generally granted at the fair
market value on the date of grant, vest over a four-year period and expire ten
years after the date of grant.

         Certain option awards granted on December 4, 2001 were subject to
stockholder approval which was not obtained until April 24, 2002. Accordingly,
these options were granted with a strike price more than 15 percent below the
market value on the date of issuance and do not meet the conditions necessary to
qualify as a non-compensatory option grant. Compensation expense related to
these grants is being recognized over the four-year vesting period and resulted
in the inclusion of $0.1 million and $0.2 million of related expense in the
accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the three month
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, respectively.

         The Company continues to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option program, as
allowed under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
Therefore, for all options other than those mentioned above, the Company elects
to make pro forma disclosures versus recognizing the related compensation
expense in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.

13. CONTINGENCIES

         The Company is a party to various legal and environmental matters
arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after
considering established reserves and contractual indemnifications obtained,
these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements. In the unlikely event that the
parties providing the environmental indemnifications do not fulfill their
obligations, such event could result in the recognition of up to $30.0 million
related to indemnified liabilities, potentially impacting earnings and cash
flows in future periods.

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.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements of the Company and the related notes thereto included
elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the
Company and the related notes thereto and the related "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the
Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         The Company manufactures and markets premium products and services to
the oil and gas exploration and production and petrochemical industries 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 and separation equipment,
waste-management services, three-cone and diamond drill bits, fishing services,
drilling tools, underreamers, casing exit and multilateral systems, packers and
liner hangers. The Company also offers supply chain management solutions through
an extensive branch network providing pipe, valve, tool, safety and other
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.

         The year-over-year decline in the worldwide rig count relates to lower
North American activity levels, particularly in the United States. Drilling
activity in the U.S. market is heavily influenced by natural gas fundamentals,
as over 80 percent of the U.S. rig count is currently natural gas-directed.
After bottoming in late March 2002, activity levels in the United States have
improved 11 percent due, in part, to declining natural gas production which has
resulted in increased natural gas drilling activity. Although the U.S. rig count
has shown moderate improvement, various factors including political and regional
instabilities, oil and natural gas storage levels, commodity prices and
depletion rates, will likely influence activity levels on a going forward basis.
The Company's business outlook, however, is highly dependent on the general
economic environment in the United States and other major world economies, which
ultimately impact energy consumption and the resulting demand for our products
and services. Further weakness in the global economic environment could result
in a substantial decline in worldwide drilling activity, adversely impacting the
Company's future financial results.

         Management also believes the increasing complexity of drilling programs
has resulted in a shift in exploration and production spending toward
value-added, technology-based products, which reduce operators' overall drilling
costs. The Company continues to focus on investing in the development of
technology-based products that considerably improve the drilling process through
increased efficiency and rates of penetration and reduced formation damage.
Management believes the overall savings realized by the use of the Company's
premium products, such as polycrystalline diamond drill bits, diamond-enhanced
three-cone drill bits and synthetic drilling fluids, compensate for the higher
costs of these products over their non-premium counterparts.

Oilfield Products and Services Segment

Revenues

         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, separation, pressure control, rig instrumentation and waste management.
M-I's business operations are largely influenced by the number of offshore
drilling programs, which are more revenue-intensive than land-based projects due
to the complex nature of the related drilling environment. For the three months
ended September 30, 2002, M-I's revenues totaled $376.8 million, nine percent
below the prior year quarter. Incremental revenues from acquisitions partially
offset the impact of the decline in base business operations. Excluding the
impact of acquisitions, revenues fell 14 percent due, primarily, to the
reduction in U.S. offshore drilling activity which declined 22 percent from the
prior year period. Over 90 percent of the base revenue reduction from the prior
year quarter was reported in the United States, with lower U.S. offshore revenue
levels accounting for two-thirds of the overall base revenue decline. For the
nine-month period, M-I reported revenues of $1.2 billion, a two percent decline
from the comparable prior year period. Excluding the impact of acquisitions,
revenues declined nine percent attributable to the reduction in Western
Hemisphere activity levels which declined 30 percent between the corresponding
periods. The impact of the Western Hemisphere activity decline was partially
offset by base revenue growth in all other geographic regions.

         Smith Bits manufactures and sells three-cone and diamond drill bits for
use in the oil and gas industry. Smith Bits reported revenues of $78.9 million
for the third quarter of 2002, a decline of 25 percent from the prior year
quarter. Base revenues also declined 25 percent as the impact of current year
acquisitions were offset by lower revenues resulting from the contribution of
the mining bit operations to an unconsolidated joint venture in October 2001.
The revenue decline was reported in the Western Hemisphere markets as the 28
percent reduction in related drilling activity primarily influenced demand for
three-cone drill bits. For the first nine months of 2002, Smith Bits' revenues
totaled $245.5 million, a 21 percent decline from the amounts reported in the
comparable prior year period. After excluding the net impact of the mining bit
operations and incremental revenues from current year acquisitions, revenues
were 18 percent below the first nine months of 2001 and compared favorably to
the 21 percent decline in the worldwide average rig count between the
corresponding periods. Over three-quarters of the year-to-year base revenue
variance resulted from lower sales volumes of three-cone bits, reflecting the
significant decline in U.S. drilling activity.

         Smith Services manufactures and markets products and services used in
the oil and gas industry for drilling, workover, well completion and well
re-entry. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, Smith Services'
revenues totaled $101.4 million, three percent below the prior year quarter.
Excluding the impact of acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2001,
revenues declined 16 percent from the prior year quarter. The base revenue
decline was reported in the Western Hemisphere reflecting lower demand for
drilling-related products and services associated with the significant reduction
in drilling activity. For the nine-month period, Smith Services reported
revenues of $313.0 million, an increase of 11 percent over the first nine months
of 2001. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, revenues were seven percent lower
period-to-period, reflecting the effect of the 31 percent decline in North
American activity levels on the underlying base business. Increased sales of
drill pipe related to an alliance with a specialty drill pipe manufacturer and
base revenue growth in Europe/Africa, due to higher export sales and increased
activity in the North Sea, served to partially offset the revenue variance from
the corresponding period.

                                       12

Operating Income

         Operating income for the Oilfield Products and Services segment
decreased $36.7 million from the third quarter of 2001 as lower gross profit in
the segment was partially offset by reduced operating expenses. Decreased demand
for higher-margin products, specifically drill bits and premium synthetic
drilling fluids which accounted for approximately two-thirds of the revenue
decline from the prior year period, contributed to a four percentage point
deterioration in gross profit margins from the third quarter of 2001. The
reduction in gross profit margins relates to lower volumes and a shift in
revenue mix, as no significant pricing deterioration was experienced during the
period. Operating expenses fell approximately six percent from the third quarter
of 2001 attributable, in part, to cost reduction efforts undertaken in response
to the Western Hemisphere activity level decline. On a year-to-date basis,
segment operating income declined $50.6 million from the first nine months of
2001. As a percentage of revenues, operating income declined approximately two
percentage points, reflecting the deterioration in gross profit margins from the
prior year period. The gross profit margins were impacted by the reduction in
higher-margin sales discussed above.

 Distribution Segment

Revenues

         Wilson markets pipe, valve, tool, 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 reported revenues of
$220.2 million for the third quarter of 2002, 23 percent below the prior year
quarter. Over three-quarters of the revenue variance was reported in the energy
branch operations related to the impact of the decline in North American
drilling and completion activity combined with lower project spending by
pipeline customers. To a lesser extent, the continued weakness in the industrial
and petrochemical markets, primarily in the United States, resulted in reduced
spending for major maintenance programs and projects. For the first nine months
of 2002, Wilson reported revenues totaling $672.1 million, a decline of 22
percent from the comparable prior year period. Lower activity levels in the
United States and Canada impacted the energy branch operations, which reported
over three-quarters of the year-to-date revenue variance. The balance of the
revenue decline was reported by the industrial sector due to a reduction in
customer spending levels.

Operating Income

         Operating income for the Distribution segment decreased $8.0 million
from the third quarter of 2001. The decline in operating income relates to the
impact of the revenue decline on gross profit, partially offset by the reduction
in variable costs associated with the lower sales volumes. The decrease in
Wilson's overall sales volumes on coverage of sales and administrative support
costs contributed to a three percentage point reduction in operating margins
from the prior year period. On a year-to-date basis, Distribution segment
operating income declined $22.5 million from the amounts reported in the first
nine months of 2001. The operating income variance reflects lower gross profit
levels associated with the reported revenue decline, partially offset by a
reduction in variable-based operating expenses. As a percentage of sales,
operating income decreased three percentage points from the prior year
comparable period, as lower sales volumes impacted coverage of fixed sales and
administrative support costs.

         Consolidated revenues totaled $777.2 million for the third quarter of
2002, 15 percent below the prior year period. The revenue decline was split
relatively equally between the Oilfield segment and the Distribution segment.
The current year revenues were influenced by the completion of 13 acquisitions,
partially offset by the contribution of the Smith Bits' mining operations to an
unconsolidated joint venture in October 2001. Excluding the net impact of
acquired and divested operations, base revenues fell 18 percent from the third
quarter of 2001, as demand for the Company's products and services were impacted
by a 29 percent reduction in North American drilling activity. Base revenue
growth in the Eastern Hemisphere markets, due to new contract awards and higher
export sales, served to partially offset the revenue decline stemming from the
reduction in North American drilling activity. For the nine-month period,
consolidated revenues were $2.4 billion, nine percent lower than the comparable
period in 2001. Over three-quarters of the revenue reduction was reported in the
Company's Distribution operations, which are concentrated in North America, and
were impacted by the significant decline in drilling activity in the United
States and Canada. Excluding the impact of acquired and divested operations,
consolidated revenues were 14 percent below the amounts reported in the first
nine months of 2001, reflecting the 31 percent reduction in North American
drilling activity between the nine-month periods.

         Gross profit totaled $217.7 million, or 28 percent of revenues, in the
third quarter of 2002. The $55.3 million decline from the amounts reported in
the prior year quarter primarily reflects the reduction of sales of
higher-margin Oilfield segment products. Consolidated gross profit margins fell
two percentage points from the prior year period driven by the margin
deterioration in the Oilfield segment. The higher year-over-year percentage
decline in Distribution segment revenues, which traditionally generate lower
gross profit margins than the Oilfield operations, served to mask the margin
deterioration reported in the Oilfield segment. For the nine-month period gross
profit totaled $695.5 million, or 29 percent of revenues, less than one
percentage point below the comparable period of the prior year. The majority of
the $82.6 million decline was attributable to the Oilfield operations,
reflecting a shift from higher to lower-margin products combined with reduced
overall sales volumes.

                                       14

         Operating expenses decreased $10.5 million, or six percent from the
third quarter of 2001. The operating expense reduction is attributable to cost
reduction efforts initiated in response to the reduction in Western Hemisphere
activity levels, reduced employee profit-sharing requirements and the
elimination of goodwill amortization in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The
operating expense reduction in the base business operations were partially
offset by incremental expenses from acquired operations and the recognition of
certain costs to consolidate the manufacturing and engineering functions within
certain M-I operations. Operating expenses for the first nine months of 2002
decreased $9.2 million from amounts recorded in the prior year period. The
reduction in operating expenses was driven by lower incentive-based requirements
and, to a lesser extent, the elimination of goodwill amortization. Incremental
expenses associated with acquisitions completed in the last twelve months of
2001 and the recognition of non-recurring charges in the first quarter of 2002
served to partially offset the overall expense decline.

         Net interest expense, which represents interest expense less interest
income, equaled $9.3 million in the third quarter of 2002. Net interest expense
decreased $1.4 million from the prior year period as lower variable interest
rates combined with a higher proportion of floating-rate borrowings more than
offset the impact of increased debt levels associated with the financing of
acquisitions. Net interest expense for the nine-month period declined $2.5
million attributable to the effect of lower interest rates on the Company's
floating-rate borrowings.

         The effective tax rate for the third quarter approximated 32 percent,
which is lower than both the prior year's rate and the U.S. statutory rate. The
effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory rate due to the impact of
M-I's U.S. partnership earnings for which the minority partner is directly
responsible for their related income taxes. The Company properly consolidates
the pre-tax income related to the minority partner's share of U.S. partnership
earnings but excludes the related tax provision. The effective tax rate was 60
basis points below the prior year quarter due to the elimination of goodwill
amortization, a portion of which was not deductible for tax purposes, partially
offset by the lower proportion of M-I's U.S. partnership earnings. The effective
tax rate for the nine-month period approximated 31 percent, two percentage
points below the level reported in the comparable prior year period. The lower
tax rate in the current nine-month period primarily reflects the discontinuance
of amortizing goodwill, as noted above, and to a lesser extent, a shift in the
geographic mix of pre-tax income towards lower rate jurisdictions.

         Minority interests reflect the portion of the results of majority-owned
operations, which are applicable to the minority interest partners. Minority
interests was $6.8 million below amounts reported in the prior year quarter and
$6.1 million lower than amounts reported in the first nine months of 2001. The
variance in both periods is related to the lower profitability reported in the
M-I operations, partially offset by the acquisition of a majority interest in
United Engineering Services, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2001.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

         At September 31, 2002, cash and cash equivalents totaled $62.9 million.
Cash flows provided by operations totaled $210.4 million in the first nine
months of 2002 compared to $122.9 million in the prior year period. The
improvement in operating cash flow is attributable to the significant decline in
North American drilling activity, which favorably impacted working capital
levels, particularly the required investment in accounts receivable and
inventories.

         Cash flows used in investing activities in the first nine months of
2002 totaled $83.9 million, which primarily consisted of investments in
property, plant and equipment, net of cash proceeds arising from certain asset
disposals, and to a lesser extent, funding associated with two acquisitions.
This compares to cash used for investing activities of $172.7 million in the
first nine months of 2001, with the difference primarily attributable to the
lower level of acquisition activity during the current year period. Net capital
expenditures also decreased year-over-year, contributing to the improvement, as
lower drilling activity has led to a reduction in discretionary capital
spending.

         In the first nine months of 2002, cash generated from operations
exceeded cash used in investing activities, resulting in an $81.4 million
reduction in outstanding debt levels. Cash flows used in financing activities,
which totaled $108.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, were
also impacted by cash distributions to a minority partner which totaled $31.6
million during the period.

         The Company's primary internal source of liquidity is cash flow
generated from operations. Cash flow generated by operations is primarily
influenced by the level of worldwide drilling activity, which affects
profitability

                                       15

levels and working capital requirements. Capacity under revolving credit
agreements is also available, if necessary, to fund operating or investing
activities. During the third quarter, the Company replaced its $200.0 million
revolving credit facilities, which were due to expire in December 2002, with a
three-year, $400.0 million facility provided by a syndicate of nine financial
institutions. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had $346.0 million of funds
available under U.S. revolving credit facilities to fund future operating or
investing needs of its worldwide operations. The Company also has revolving
credit facilities in place outside the United States, which are generally used
to finance local operating needs. At September 30, 2002, borrowing capacity of
$45.4 million was available under the non-U.S. borrowing facilities.

         External sources of liquidity include debt and equity financing in the
public capital markets, if needed. Management 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.
Management continues to evaluate opportunities to acquire products or businesses
complementary to the Company's operations. These acquisitions, if they arise,
may involve the use of cash or, depending upon the size and terms of the
acquisition, may require debt or equity financing.

Contingencies

         The Company is a party to various legal and environmental matters
arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after
considering established reserves and contractual indemnifications obtained,
these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In the
unlikely event that the parties providing the environmental indemnifications do
not fulfill their obligations, such event could result in the recognition of up
to $30.0 million related to indemnified liabilities, potentially impacting
earnings and cash flows in future periods.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

         The discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the
Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates on an on-going
basis, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In its 2001
Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has described the critical accounting
policies that require management's most significant judgments and estimates.
There have been no material changes in these critical accounting policies.


ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE MARKET RISK DISCLOSURES

         The Company is exposed to certain market risks arising from
transactions that are entered into in the normal course of business. These
risks, which are primarily related to interest rate changes and fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates, are not considered to be material to the Company. During
the reporting period, no events or transactions have occurred which would
materially change the information disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

         The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal
controls designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time frame specified in the Commission's
rules and regulations. Our principal executive and financial officers have
evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days prior to the
filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

         There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to
the evaluation date.
