ITEM 1. BUSINESS IRI International Corporation (the "Company" or "we" or "us") is one of the world's largest manufacturers of land-based drilling well-servicing rigs and rig component parts for use in the global oil and gas industry. We are principally engaged in the design, manufacture, service, sale and rental of onshore and offshore oil field equipment for the domestic and international markets. Our IRI and Cardwell operations design and produce rigs to meet the special requirements of our global clientele for service in remote areas and harsh climatic conditions. Our Bowen Tools Division is a leading manufacturer of down hole fishing and drilling tools. We offer a complete line of oil field power equipment, including top drives, power swivels, wireline pressure control equipment and coiled tubing systems, which complement our drilling and well- servicing rigs. We also manufacture and maintain a significant inventory of replacement parts for rigs produced by us and others, enabling us to meet the needs of our customers on a timely basis. Our Specialty Steel Division produces premium alloy steel for commercial and military use and for use in manufacturing oil field equipment products. We market our oil field equipment primarily through our own sales force and through designated agents and distributors in every major oil and gas producing region in the world. We maintain 27 domestic and 7 international sales, parts and service centers in areas of significant drilling and production operations. Our network of service centers in the United States provides our customers with refurbishment or repair services as well as ready access to replacement parts for equipment in the field. Our worldwide sales and marketing activities are closely coordinated with and supported by a staff of engineers and design technicians. This allows us to provide our customers with products meeting their customized design specifications. Our predecessor was founded in 1985 through the combination of Ingersoll-Rand Oilfield Products Company and the Ideco Division of Dresser Industries, Inc. and was acquired by Energy Services International Ltd. in 1994 ("ESI"). We acquired the business and operations of the Bowen Tools Division (the "Bowen Acquisition") on March 31, 1997 and Cardwell International, Ltd. (the "Cardwell Acquisition") on April 17, 1997 (together, the "Acquisitions"). In October 1997, we merged with ESI, and ESI, as the surviving entity, changed its name to IRI International Corporation. In November 1997, we consummated the initial public offering of 12,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. DRILLING AND WELL-SERVICING RIGS Products We design, construct and sell a total of 48 standard models of drilling and well-servicing rigs under the IDECO(R), FRANKS(R), CARDWELL(TM) and IRI(TM) brand names. Our products include: - land-based skid mounted rigs; - offshore drilling and well-servicing rigs; - self-propelled drilling and well-servicing rigs; - slant hole drilling rigs; and - heli-rigs. In addition to our standard models, we manufacture customized drilling and well-servicing rigs to customer specifications to accommodate, among other things, extreme weather conditions, moving systems or hook load capacities. We also design, manufacture and sell component products used in the original construction, modernization or repair of land and offshore rigs, including masts, derrick, substructures and other components used in hoisting, power transmission, pumping and mud systems. The sale of drilling and well-servicing rigs and component parts accounted for $55.8 million (or 31.8%) of our revenues for 1998. 2
10-K3rd Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 3rd
Competition Our principal competitors in the manufacture of drilling rigs and components are National-Oilwell, Inc., Continental Emsco Company and Varco International, Inc. Our revenues and earnings are affected by the actions of competitors, including price changes, introduction of new or improved products and changes in the supply of, and improvements in the deliverability of, competing products. Backlog Sales of our drilling and well-servicing rigs are made almost exclusively on the basis of written purchase orders or contracts. We include in our rig backlog those orders or purchase commitments that we are reasonably certain will be consummated based on industry practice, the historical relationship between us and the customer or the financial terms of the sale, including cash advances, letters of credit or similar credit support arrangements. Giving pro forma effect to the Acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 1997, the total value of our rig backlog as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $21.3 million and $69.4 million, respectively. We cannot assure that the contracts included in our backlog will ultimately generate anticipated revenues in the period expected or otherwise. We attempt to mitigate the financial risks in sales to our international customers by requiring, where commercially feasible, cash advances, irrevocable letters of credit or similar credit support arrangements. As of December 31, 1998, we have received approximately $3.3 million in cash down payments and approximately $7.8 million of letters of credit or assignments of letters of credit to support customer orders. Customers Sales of drilling and well-servicing rigs are made to various customers, which change from year to year depending on the size and timing of rig purchase orders. In 1998, our largest customer, Ukrgasprom, accounted for 16.3% of the revenues of our oil field equipment segment, and our second largest customer, Varyeganneftegas, accounted for 10.7% of the revenues of our oil field equipment segment. Because a large number of our customers are based in Russia and other former Soviet republics, the turmoil in Russia and the other former Soviet republics may materially adversely affect our future revenues and results of operations. FISHING AND DRILLING TOOLS Our Bowen Tools Division designs, manufactures, sells and rents fishing and drilling tools under the BOWEN(R) brand name. These include: - external and internal catch fishing tools; - junk catch fishing tools; - milling and cutting tools; - accessory tools such as jars, jar intensifiers and bumper subs; and - repair and remedial tools. Fishing and drilling tool sales and rentals accounted for $56.7 million (or 32.4%) of our revenues for 1998. Competition In the fishing and drilling tool business, like the rig manufacturing business, our revenues and earnings are affected by the actions of competitors, including price charges, introduction of new or improved products and changes in the supply of, and improvements in the deliverability of, competing products. Our primary competitors are Houston Engineers Inc. and Spring Engineers, Inc. in the manufacture of fishing tools and Houston Engineers Inc. and Dailey International Inc. in the manufacture of drilling tools. 3

CUSTOMERS The Bowen Tools Division's two largest customers accounted for 18.7% and 17.2% of its revenues in 1998. The loss of either of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the division's and our revenues and results of operations. POWER AND WIRELINE/PRESSURE CONTROL EQUIPMENT Power Equipment In addition to fishing and drilling tools, our Bowen Tools Division also manufactures products for the power equipment market, including: - power-swivel systems used in well-servicing and drilling applications; - top drives; - power subs; - bucking units; - power tongs; and - coiled tubing systems. The market for power equipment is very competitive. We compete on the basis of product design and quality, ability to meet delivery requirements and price. Our principal competitor in this segment is Tesco Corporation. In addition, our power equipment products compete with products manufactured by Maritime Hydraulics U.S. Inc., Canadian Rig Ltd. and Varco International, Inc. Wireline/Pressure Control Equipment We manufacture wire line and pressure control equipment under the BOWEN(R) brand name. These products include: - small blowout preventers; - unions; - tool traps; - tool catchers; - lubricator risers; - control heads; - stuffing boxes; and - wellhead adapters. The market for pressure control equipment is very competitive. We compete on the basis of product design, quality, ability to meet delivery requirements and price. Our principal competitors in the market include Hydrolex, Inc., Elmar Ltd. and Texas Oil Tools. Sales and rentals of power and wireline/pressure control equipment products accounted for $19.5 million (or 11.1%) of our revenues for 1998. REPLACEMENT PARTS AND REFURBISHMENT We manufacture and maintain a significant inventory of replacement parts and replacement components. We also refurbish older rigs for our customers. We believe that these businesses will grow over the next several years because of increased worldwide rig utilization and the age of the international rig fleet, most of which 4
10-K5th Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
were constructed prior to 1982. We believe we are well positioned to provide replacement parts and refurbishment services as a result of the large number of operating rigs manufactured under our brand names and the preference of equipment owners to obtain replacement parts and refurbishment services from the original manufacturer. Replacement parts and refurbishment services accounted for $32.6 million (or 18.6%) of our revenues for 1998. SPECIALTY STEEL PRODUCTS Our Specialty Steel Division manufactures premium specialty steel forgings for commercial and military use and for use in manufacturing oil field equipment products. Specialty steel products accounted for $10.4 million (or 5.9%) of our revenues for 1998. We manufacture over 100 different alloys to form forged products in round, square and rectangular solid, trepanned, counter bored and stepped forms to meet customer specifications. We sell our specialty steel products primarily to customers in the heavy equipment, aircraft, petroleum and power generation industries in North America and to the United States military. We also sell our specialty steel products as feedstock directly to forgers and extruders. The Division's largest customer accounted for 11.4% of the Division's revenue for 1998. In addition, 14.7% of steel production for 1998 was sold to the government and military sectors. Competition The U.S. specialty steel market is highly competitive due primarily to the high cost of freight associated with moving small amounts of high tonnage finished goods. Competitive factors include price, delivery, quality and service. Steel ingots and billets are commodities and are extremely price competitive. Our major competitors in the specialty steel market are National Forge Company Inc., Ellwood Group Inc., Scot Forge Company Inc., Erie Forge and Steel Inc. and First Miss Steel Inc. Customers The Specialty Steel Division's largest customer accounted for 11.4% of the Specialty Steel Division's revenues for 1998. This customer has gradually reduced its purchases in 1998 and we do not expect any purchases from this customer in 1999. The loss of this customer may materially adversely affect the revenues and operating results of the Specialty Steel Division, though it will not materially adversely affect our revenues and operating results taken as a whole. ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT We maintain a staff of engineers and design technicians to: - design and test new products, components and systems for use in manufacturing and drilling applications; - enhance the capabilities of existing products; and - assist our sales organization and customers with special requirements and products. We intend to continue our research, engineering and product development programs to develop proprietary products that are complementary to our existing products, particularly with respect to harsh environment rigs and equipment. Our total engineering and product development expenses for 1998 were $3.4 million. We have budgeted $2.7 million for engineering and product development expenses for 1999. MARKETING, SALES AND DISTRIBUTION We market our oil field products primarily through our own sales force and through designated agents and distributors in every major oil and gas producing region in the world. Our customers include international and domestic drilling contractors and international and domestic oil and gas exploration and production compa- 5
10-K6th Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
nies, including foreign state-owned oil and gas enterprises. We maintain 27 domestic and 7 international sales, parts and service centers in areas of significant drilling and production operations. See Note 13 to the Financial Statements for financial information related to our revenues by geographic region. RAW MATERIALS We purchase our components, parts and raw materials from several commercial sources. With respect to our Specialty Steel Division, the raw materials used to manufacture specialty steel products consist of premium steel scrap and various alloys, of which we believe there is an adequate supply in the North American market. We believe that the loss of any of our suppliers would not have a material adverse effect on our operations. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY We own or have license to use a number of U.S. and foreign patents covering a variety of products. Although on the whole the patents are important to us, no single patent is essential to our business. In general, we depend upon product name recognition, manufacturing quality control and application of our expertise rather than patented technology in the conduct of our business. We enjoy product brand name recognition, principally through our BOWEN(R), IDECO(R), FRANKS(R), CARDWELL(TM), and IRI(TM) trademarks, and considers such trademarks to be important to our business. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 1998, we employed a total of 1,203 persons, of whom 30 were employed outside the United States. Approximately 46% of these employees were salaried and the balance were compensated on an hourly basis. Approximately 26% of our employees are represented by a union or are parties to a collective bargaining agreement. The collective bargaining agreement between us and our employees is effective for the period from July 1997 until July 2000, covers approximately 315 employees and contains customary provisions with respect to wages, hours and working conditions for certain production and maintenance employees in the Bowen Tools Division. The collective bargaining agreement required a 4.5% wage increase in its first year, and 3% increases in its second and third years. We consider our relations with our employees to be good. RISKS AND INSURANCE Our operations are subject to the usual hazards inherent in manufacturing products and providing services for the oil and gas industry. These hazards include: - personal injury and loss of life; - business interruptions; - property and equipment damage; and - pollution or environmental damage. We maintain comprehensive insurance covering our assets and insuring against risks at levels that we believe are appropriate and in accordance with industry practice. We cannot assure, however, that our insurance coverage will be adequate in all circumstances or against all hazards or risks, or that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance coverage in the future at commercially reasonable rates or on acceptable terms. Our services and products are used in drilling, production and well-servicing operations. These types of operations are subject to inherent risks, including: - Property damage; - Personal injury; 6
10-K7th Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
- Suspension of operations; and - Loss of production. We maintain product liability and worker's compensation insurance. Although the limits of our insurance coverage against an accident are generally in accordance with industry practice, such insurance may not be adequate to protect the us against liability or losses accruing from all the consequences of such an incident. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Our manufacturing operations are subject to a broad range of federal, state and local environmental laws, both in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions, including those governing: - discharges into the air and water; - handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes; and - remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. Our policy is to eliminate and minimize generation of wastes at our facilities through plant operations, process design and maintenance. We continually strive to reduce wastes by sending these materials off-site for recycling and/or re-use. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") imposes liability without regard to fault, on certain classes of persons for the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These persons include the owner and operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that sent hazardous substances to such sites. Persons who are responsible for releases of hazardous substances under CERCLA may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up hazardous substances that have been released into the environment. We currently own or lease, and have in the past owned or leased, numerous properties that have been used for the manufacture and storage of products and equipment containing or requiring oil and/or other hazardous substances. Although we have used standard operating and disposal practices, hazardous substances may have been disposed of or released on or under the properties owned or leased by us or on or under other locations where such wastes have been taken for disposal. In addition, many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose treatment and disposal or release of hydrocarbons or other wastes was not under our control. These properties and the wastes disposed thereon may be subject to CERCLA, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and analogous state laws. Under such laws, we could be required to remediate any hazardous substances or wastes discovered on or under these properties. Various federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances govern the removal, encapsulation or disturbance of asbestos containing materials ("ACM"). These laws and regulations may impose liability for the release of ACM. We are aware of the presence of ACM at our facilities, but we believe that such material is in acceptable condition at this time. Although we cannot give any assurances, we believe that any future costs related to remediation of ACM at these sites will not be material, either on an annual basis or in the aggregate. We have tried to reduce the impact of costs related to actual or potential environmental conditions at the Bowen Tools Division facilities through our contractual arrangements with Air Liquide America Corporation ("Air Liquide"). Air Liquide and Bowen agreed to indemnify us for costs relating to environmental conditions existing at these facilities prior to our purchase of the Bowen Tools Division. We cannot assure that Air Liquide or Bowen will meet its obligations under the indemnification arrangements or that there will not be future contamination for which we might be fully liable and that may require us to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Although we believe we are currently in substantial compliance with environmental laws and regulations, as is the case with most industrial manufacturers, we could incur significant costs related to environmental compliance in the future. Future environmental compliance may involve remediating existing conditions at our 7
10-K8th Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
facilities or modifing our operations. These potential costs may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, other developments, such as stricter environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, could result in additional, presently unquantifiable, costs or liabilities to us. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The principal offices and facilities owned or leased by us and their current uses are described in the following table: [Enlarge/Download Table] FACILITY SIZE PROPERTY SIZE LOCATION (SQ.

(2) Rig manufacturing was ceased at this facility in December 1998. We also own or lease facilities at 34 domestic and international locations, substantially all of which are sales, service or warehouse locations. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS There are pending or threatened against us various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings all arising from the ordinary course of business with respect to commercial product liability and employee matters. Although no assurance can be given with respect to the outcome of these or any other pending legal and administrative proceedings and the effects such outcomes may have on us, we believe that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings to the extent not otherwise provided for will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. We maintain comprehensive liability insurance. We believe such coverage to be of a nature and amount sufficient to ensure that we are adequately protected from any material financial loss as a result of such claims. We currently are not the subject of any legal actions for which we are neither insured nor indemnified and which we believe will individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, nor to our knowledge is any such litigation threatened.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with "Selected Consolidated Financial Information," the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and the other information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our fiscal year was changed from the twelve-month period ending March 31 to the calendar year, effective December 31, 1996. OVERVIEW General We manufacture land-based drilling and well-servicing rigs and rig component parts for use in the domestic and international markets. Our revenues are substantially dependent upon the condition of the oil and gas industry and worldwide levels of exploration, development and production activity, including the number of oil and gas wells being drilled, the depth and drilling conditions of such wells, the number of well completions and the level of workover activity. Exploration, development and production activity is largely dependent on the prevailing view of future oil and natural gas prices which have been characterized by significant volatility over the last 20 years. Oil and natural gas prices are influenced by numerous factors affecting the supply of and demand for oil and gas, including the level of drilling activity, worldwide economic activity, interest rates and the cost of capital, environmental regulation, tax policies, political requirements of national governments, coordination by OPEC and the cost of producing oil and gas. Demand for our products in certain emerging market countries may depend somewhat less on the prevailing view of future oil and natural gas prices as such countries may generally place greater emphasis on their need for internal development, energy self-sufficiency or hard currency earnings. As a result of the continued decline in oil prices and the deteriorating economic conditions in Russia and other emerging markets, the oil and gas industry has dramatically reduced its capital expenditures for exploration, development and production activities. Our revenues, operating income and backlog have been adversely affected by these events. We believe that these industry conditions may further deteriorate and negatively impact our future results of operations. Accordingly, we have assessed and begun to implement a variety of measures to minimize the adverse effects of industry conditions on the our business and financial performance. We consolidated our manufacturing operations in Pampa and Houston, Texas and implemented other cost reduction measures. These measures reduced our workforce by a total of 690 employees through March 1999. We are considering further consolidation and cost reduction measures but we cannot assure that these or any other measures will be sufficient to offset the negative effects of prevailing industry conditions on the our business and financial performance. Foreign Exchange Transactions Sales denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are made only by the Bowen Tools Division. We attempt to limit our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations by limiting the amount of sales denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars and by, with the exception of our Canadian subsidiary, maintaining our cash and cash equivalents in U.S. dollar denominated accounts and investments (except to the extent needed for local operating expenses). For the twelve month period December 31, 1996 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, Bowen's Canadian sales (expressed in U.S. dollars) were $4.2 million, $4.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively, and all other non-U.S. dollar denominated sales (expressed in U.S. dollars) were $9.1 million, $7.4 million and $9.5 million, respectively. We have not engaged in and do not currently intend to engage in any significant hedging or currency trading transactions designed to compensate for adverse currency fluctuations among foreign currencies. 11

Negative Goodwill On September 20, 1994, all of our outstanding capital stock was acquired by an affiliate of certain of our stockholders for $5.0 million in cash (the "Company Acquisition"). The Company Acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting and the purchase price allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of the Company Acquisition. The excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the consideration paid was applied against non-monetary assets (property, plant and equipment), reducing the balances of these assets at the date of the Company Acquisition to zero, and the remaining excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over consideration paid was recorded as negative goodwill. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based up on their fair values at the date of the acquisition as follows (in thousands): [Download Table] Inventories................................................. $ 33,287 Other current assets........................................ 7,743 Current liabilities......................................... (7,372) Accrued retirement benefits................................. (1,821) Negative goodwill........................................... (26,837) -------- $ 5,000 ======== Negative goodwill is being amortized using the straight-line method over five years ending September 19, 1999. The comparability of the results of operations between the years ended March 31, 1995 (which included the results of operations of our predecessor from April 1, 1994 to September 19, 1994) and March 31, 1996 is affected by, in addition to the amortization of negative goodwill (which reduces the post-Company Acquisition cost of sales), the exclusion of depreciation expense related to fixed assets written down to zero on the Company Acquisition date, both of which have a positive effect on earnings. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Amortization of negative goodwill decreased cost of goods sold by $5.4 million in each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the twelve month period ended December 31, 1996 and the year ended March 31, 1996 and $2.7 million for the period from September 20, 1994 through March 31, 1995. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In June 1997, we changed our fiscal year from a March 31 year-end to a December 31 year-end, effective with the period ended December 31, 1996, in order to harmonize the fiscal years of IRI, Cardwell and Bowen. The following discussion of the results of operations of our business units does not reflect allocation of corporate overhead expense, unallocated administrative expense or amortization of goodwill and negative goodwill. See Note 13 to our Financial Statements for a presentation of segment information. Sales of new rigs manufactured by us can produce large fluctuations in revenues depending on the size and the timing of the construction of orders. Individual orders of rig packages range from $1 million to $25 million and cycle times for the design, engineering and manufacturing or rig packages range from six to nine months. These fluctuations may affect our quarterly revenues and operating income. The lack of material tax provisions for the historical periods discussed below results primarily from (i) the amortization of negative goodwill which does not give rise to taxable income and (ii) the availability of net operating loss carry forwards. As discussed above, negative goodwill is being amortized over five years ending September 19, 1999. See "-- Negative Goodwill." See Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our net operating loss carry forwards. Results of Segment Operations The following discussion of the results of operations of our oil field equipment, down hole tools and specialty steel segments does not reflect the allocation of corporate and unallocated administrative expenses, amortization of negative goodwill and amortization of goodwill on an individual segment basis. Certain 12

information that reconciles the discussion of the results of operations of the individual segments to the our Consolidated Financial Statements is as follows: [Enlarge/Download Table] THE COMPANY PREDECESSOR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- PERIOD FROM TWELVE MONTHS NINE MONTHS SEPTEMBER 20, PERIOD FROM ENDED ENDED 1994 APRIL 1, 1994 DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, YEAR ENDED THROUGH THROUGH ----------------------------- ----------------- MARCH 31, MARCH 31, SEPTEMBER 19, 1998 1997 1996 1996 1995 1996 1995 1994 -------- -------- ------- ------- ------- ---------- ------------- ------------- Revenues Oil field equipment...... $ 88,395 $106,529 $61,537 $52,029 $30,668 $40,176 $14,399 $12,545 Down hole tools.......... 76,249 65,336 -- -- -- -- -- -- Specialty steel.......... 10,401 13,501 14,126 10,269 8,473 12,330 5,807 3,928 -------- -------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total.............. $175,045 $185,366 $75,663 $62,298 $39,141 $52,506 $20,206 $16,473 ======== ======== ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= Segment operating income (loss) Oil field equipment...... $ 13,533 $ 15,617 $ 9,889 $ 7,399 $ 1,607 $ 4,141 $ 1,269 $ (671) Down hole tools.......... 17,186 11,869 -- -- -- -- -- -- Specialty steel.......... 1,668 4,503 3,528 2,879 2,003 2,608 1,240 232 -------- -------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total.............. 32,387 31,989 13,417 10,278 3,610 6,749 2,509 $ (439) Corporate overhead and unallocated administrative expenses...............

Decreased operating income resulted from the economic and financial turmoil in Russia and the Asia-Pacific region and the downward turn in oil prices, both of which resulted in a decreased demand for our products. Gross Margin for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 was 19.5%, as compared to 17.8% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. This increase resulted principally from an extensive cost restructuring program and a favorable mix between manufactured equipment and buy-outs. Down Hole Tools Revenues and operating income for the down hole tools unit were $76.2 million (or $6.4 million per month) and $17.2 million (or $1.4 million per month), respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, as compared to $65.3 million (or $7.3 million per month) and $11.9 million (or $1.3 million per month), respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 1997. Decreased monthly revenues at the down hole tools unit were primarily attributable to the downward trends in the oil industries. Gross margin for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 was 33.0%, as compared to 26.5% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The increase in monthly operating income and gross margin was primarily due to the full impact of price increases in the last two quarters of 1997, an increase in the amount of manufacturing overhead absorbed into inventory and management's cost-cutting initiatives. Specialty Steel Revenues and operating income for the specialty steel unit were $10.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, as compared to $13.5 million and $4.5 million, 13

respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The decrease in revenues was primarily the result of reduced demand from a major customer. Because of the loss of the high margin business that we transacted with this major customer, our gross margins also decreased from 34.6% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 to 17.5% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. Corporate Administrative and Interest Expenses Corporate administrative expenses were $18.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, as compared to $13.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The increase was due primarily to the inclusion of corporate administrative expenses for our Bowen Tools Division and Cardwell operations for the full year in 1998 as compared to only nine months for 1997. In addition, corporate administrative expenses increased as a result of the higher professional fees associated with being a public company and the implementation of new software systems. Interest expense decreased from $8.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 to $0.4 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. Interest expense decreased mainly because we repaid our debt with the proceeds from the initial public offering of our Common Stock. Restructuring Charge The Company incurred a restructuring charge of $590,000 in 1998 in connection with its restructuring program. Other Income (Expense) Other expenses were $1.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, as compared to $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. Other expense for 1998 includes: - $2.2 million of interest income (due to higher cash balances in 1998); - $2.7 million of losses on trading securities (as compared to a gain of $0.8 million for 1997); - $0.6 million of special charges (relating to expenses incurred in connection with the proposed acquisition of Hitec ASA, which was terminated on April 28, 1998); and - $0.2 million of miscellaneous other expenses. FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 Oil Field Equipment Revenues and operating income for the oil field equipment unit were $106.5 million and $15.6 million, respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $61.5 million and $9.9 million, respectively, for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1996. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, revenues and operating income reflect contributions thereto by Cardwell of $30.0 million and $4.5 million. The increase in revenues resulted from the Cardwell Acquisition and increased sales of rig packages by the IRI Division. Increased operating income resulted from the IRI Division's increased sales in the period. Gross Margin for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 was 18.4%, as compared to 22.1% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1996. This decrease resulted principally from the inclusion of Cardwell's operations (gross margin of 15% in the results for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1997). Cardwell's comparatively lower gross margin resulted from lower margin rig manufacturing contracts entered into prior to the date of the Cardwell Acquisition, the pricing terms of which reflected Cardwell's lower fixed overhead cost structure. We have implemented a uniform pricing policy that we believe will result in higher overall gross margins. 14

Down Hole Tools We acquired the Bowen Tools Division on March 31, 1997 and prior to such date we had no down hole tools unit. Revenues and operating income for the down hole tools unit were $65.3 million and $11.9 million, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $52.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 1996. Increased revenues and operating income at the Bowen Tools Division were primarily attributable to increased drilling activity in the U.S. Gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 was 26.5%, as compared to 24.0% for the nine months period ended December 31, 1996. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to improved pricing, increased volume and more efficient capacity utilization. Specialty Steel Revenues and operating income for the specialty steel unit were $13.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $14.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1996. The decrease in revenues was primarily the result of reduced demand from a major customer. Gross margin for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 was 33.4%, as compared to 26.2% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1996. Corporate Administrative and Interest Expenses Corporate administrative expenses were $13.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $7.0 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1996. The increase was due primarily to the inclusion of Bowen and Cardwell's administrative expenses of $3.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the 1997 period. Interest expense increased from $0.7 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1996 to $8.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The increase in interest expense is a result of (i) borrowings on March 31, 1997 under a $65.0 million five-year term loan (the "Term Loan") provided to us by certain financial institutions, as lenders, Credit Lyonnais New York Branch, as a lender and as administrative agent, and Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as a lender and as advisor, manager and syndication agent (collectively, the "Lenders"), and the issuance of $31.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Increasing Rate Notes (the "Senior Notes") on such date to fund the Acquisitions and (ii) borrowings under a $25.0 million three-year revolving credit facility between us and the Lenders with a $20 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit (the "Revolving Credit Facility") during the period to fund working capital requirements of Cardwell. On November 19, 1997, we used the gross proceeds of the initial public offering of the Common Stock to repay in full the Term Loan and fully redeem the Senior Notes. NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 Oil Field Equipment Revenues and operating income for the oil field equipment unit were $52.0 million and $7.4 million, respectively, for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996, as compared to $30.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the nine month period ended December 31, 1995. The increases in revenues and operating income were primarily attributable to an increase in sales of our oil field equipment products to exploration and production companies and contract drillers. The elevated levels of sales of our products reflected the increased oil and gas exploration and production activity worldwide. Gross margin for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996 was 19.7% compared to 13.7% for the nine month period ended December 31, 1995, as a result of price increases, greater fixed overhead absorption and more efficient capacity utilization due to increased manufacturing volume. Specialty Steel Revenues and operating income for the specialty steel unit were $10.3 million and $2.9 million respectively, for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996, as compared to $8.5 million and 15
10-K16th Page of 44TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
$2.0 million, respectively, for the nine month period ended December 31, 1995. The increases in revenues and operating income were primarily the result of increased sales to steel service centers and a major customer. Gross margin for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996 was 29.9%, as compared to 24.8% for the nine month period ended December 31, 1995, as a result of more efficient capacity utilization. Corporate Administrative and Interest Expenses Corporate administrative expenses were $5.2 million, representing 8.3% of revenues, for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996 and $2.7 million, representing 6.9% of revenues, for the nine month period ended December 31, 1995. The higher levels of expense were a consequence of establishing a corporate headquarters in Houston, Texas, and expanding our management team and related support personnel. Interest expense was $0.6 million for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996, compared to $0.2 million of interest income for the nine month period ended December 31, 1995, due to borrowings by us under a former credit facility established in April 1996. The funds borrowed were used by us to fund increased working capital needs necessitated by the increases in the orders for its oil field equipment products during the nine month period ended December 31, 1996. ACCOUNTING POLICIES In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which is effective for all quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. This statement requires that all derivatives be recognized on the balance sheet, measured at fair value. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 1998, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $40.5 million, compared to $57.7 million at December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1998, our working capital was $164.3 million, compared to $161.9 million at December 31, 1997. This increase in working capital at December 31, 1998 was attributable to the increase in manufactured inventories. At December 31, 1998, our current assets to current liabilities ratio was approximately 8.7:1. At December 31, 1998, approximately $6.7 million was available for additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. We believe that cash flows from operations in conjunction with borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and credit facilities that may be arranged in the future, if necessary, will be sufficient to meet our short-term (i.e., less than one year) and long-term liquidity needs. Though there can be no assurance in this regard, we believe that any credit facilities arranged in the near future would be on commercially reasonable terms. The Revolving Credit Facility The Revolving Credit Facility matures on March 31, 2000, and prior thereto amounts repaid may be reborrowed. After the initial public offering of our common stock, we reduced the commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility to $9.7 million. Our obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of our assets, including all personal property and material real property, the pledge by us of all of the outstanding capital stock of Cardwell and the pledge by us or Cardwell, as the case may be, of 66% of the outstanding capital stock of each of our direct and indirect foreign subsidiaries. These obligations are also guaranteed by Cardwell. The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain representations and warranties, covenants and events of default customary for facilities of this type. 16

YEAR 2000 Our Year 2000 Compliance Program We have initiated a three-phase Year 2000 compliance program: 1. We will identify non-Year 2000 compliant hardware and software systems and other technology, and contact key suppliers and customers; 2. We will ascertain the extent to which our systems and technologies and those of our key suppliers and customers are non-Year 2000 compliant and will prioritize our Year 2000 response accordingly; and 3. We will replace or remediate our non-Year 2000 compliant systems and technologies and develop contingency plans with respect to systems and other technology that cannot be replaced or remediated in time and with respect to key suppliers and customers that have not become Year 2000 compliant. Our State of Readiness The first phase is currently in progress and should be complete by the end of the second quarter. Of the inventory taken thus far, we have identified issues with some of our information technology systems that support our most significant business operations. The Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") system that supports the down hole tools unit requires a software upgrade that is planned for installation by the end of the second quarter of 1999. The ERP system that supports the oil field equipment and specialty steel units also requires a software upgrade that is planned for installation in the third quarter of 1999. The installation of these software upgrades will require the allocation of significant internal resources to test the upgraded ERP systems prior to their implementation. Other significant information technology systems that may not be compliant are: - the accounting software system currently used in the Canadian operations; - our payroll system; and - the design engineering software system. We will have a better understanding of these systems and their respective Year 2000 compliance once we have completed the first phase of our Year 2000 compliance program. We have inventoried some of the more critical non-information technology systems of the down hole tools unit. Approximately 85% of our production machines for the down hole tools unit are manual or "numerical control" equipment not affected by Year 2000 issues. The balance of our production machines are "computer numerical control" machines; these machines produce about 30% to 40% of our production output. Although we have been notified by the manufacturer of these machines that the controls on these machines are Year 2000 compliant, we have not yet verified whether or not these machines are indeed Year 2000 compliant. We have not completed our inventory of the production machines for our other units or other non-information technology systems. We have also initiated the inventorying of key third party relationships for Year 2000 compliance. Although we have begun to contact some of the key suppliers of the down hole tools unit, we have not yet assessed the extent and content of the responses received from those suppliers. We have not begun to inventory the key customers for any of the business units and the key suppliers for the oil field equipment unit and the specialty steel unit but we believe that the loss of any of our suppliers would not have a material adverse effect on our operations. We plan to complete the inventory of key third party relationships by the end of the second quarter of 1999. We have retained outside consultants to help evaluate our Year 2000 readiness and our comprehensive project plan detailing the steps necessary for us to become Year 2000 compliant. We expect the report and project plan to be ready by the middle of the second quarter of 1999. We intend to complete our inventory of all information technology and non-information technology related systems by the end of the second quarter of 17

1999. We also expect to engage outside consultants to assist us in the testing of our systems and the remediation of any Year 2000 issues. Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues To date, the costs incurred by our Year 2000 compliance program have been minimal. We estimate our expenses relating to Year 2000 issues will be approximately $1.3 million, but they could be as high as $2.0 million. We also expect to allocate significant internal resources to the inventorying, testing and remediation of Year 2000 issues, though we have not quantified the costs of allocating these internal resources. The replacement and upgrade of several of our software and hardware systems in the ordinary course of business have had the added benefit of resolving Year 2000 issues with respect to those systems. In addition, our maintenance agreements with vendors of our ERP systems for our three business units already include the cost of the software upgrades required for those systems. We believe that the costs to complete our Year 2000 compliance program will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, though we cannot give any assurances in this regard. Risks Associates with Year 2000 Issues We believe that much of the risk associated with Year 2000 will be mitigated by the installation of the minor software patches on our ERP systems. However, we are presently unable to fully determine the risk of any other non-compliant Year 2000 software, hardware, and other technologies and the material impact it represents to our business. We will have a better understanding of these risks once the inventory has been completed and the systems have been analyzed and prioritized with respect to their importance to our business. We are unable to determine what effect the failure of us, our suppliers or our customers to become Year 2000 compliant will have on our business, but any significant failures could have an material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. At the very least, any significant failures may force us to curtail production, prevent us from meeting customers demands on a timely basis, and/or impede our ability to monitor customer orders and inventory. Contingency Plans We have not yet been able to determine the extent to which we need contingency plans because our inventory is not yet complete. We plan to have contingency plans developed by the end of the third quarter of 1999 for all those systems and relationships that are critical to our business. All non-critical systems and relationships will be assessed for contingency plans in the fourth quarter of 1999. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, we used cash flow from operations of $1.7 million primarily to increase inventory levels to support anticipated increases in sales. We believe that cash generated from operations and amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements and financing obligations. Capital expenditures for 1998 totaled $10.0 million, including $1.2 million for the oilfield equipment and specialty steel segments, of which $0.6 million was for data processing equipment and $0.5 million was for machinery and equipment. $8.8 million in capital expenditures was expended for rental tools and equipment and new machinery at our down hole tools segment. For 1999, we have budgeted capital expenditures of $4.5 million, including $1.0 million for maintenance capital expenditures, $2.0 million for rental tools and $1.5 million for software upgrades and related expenditures. Capital expenditures are expected to be funded with available cash and cash flow generated from operations. 18

INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS With the exception of the historical information contained in this report, the matters described herein contain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties including but not limited to economic and competitive factors outside of our control. These factors more specifically include: - dependence on the oil and gas industry; - competition from various entities; - the impact of government regulations; - the instability of certain foreign economies (including Russia and countries of the Asia-Pacific region); - currency fluctuations; - risks of expropriation; and - changes in law affecting international trade and investment. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate" "intend," "estimate," and similar expressions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. INFLATION Inflation has not had a material impact on our operating and occupancy costs. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK This discussion of about our exposure to market risks and our risk-management activities includes forward looking statements. These forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including economic and competitive factors outside our control. Our primary market risk exposures come from interest rate risks, foreign exchange rate risks, and equity price risks. Our exposure to interest rate risks in minimal with respect to indebtedness. We repaid substantially all of our outstanding indebtedness in November 1997. However, at December 31, 1998, we had approximately $37.5 million of cash in interest bearing accounts. The rate of return on these accounts will vary with the prevailing interest rates. We do not engage in any significant interest rate swaps or other derivative activities designed to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates. Our direct exposure to foreign exchange risks is minimal. Except as discussed above in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" with respect to our Bowen Tools Division, all of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, foreign exchange rate fluctuations may affect our revenues indirectly to the extent that a stronger U.S. dollar affects our ability to compete on the basis of price. We do not engage in any significant hedging or currency trading activities to limit our sensitivity to changes in foreign exchange rates and/or interest rates. At December 31, 1998, we had approximately $3.0 million of marketable securities, consisting primarily of corporate equity securities. These securities were acquired principally for trading purposes and are bought and held by us for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Fluctuations in interest rates and equity prices may adversely affect the value of our marketable securities. We do not believe there has been any material change in the market risks faced by us since the end of 1998. ITEM 8.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors IRI International Corporation: We have audited the consolidated financial statements of IRI International Corporation and subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of IRI International Corporation as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the nine months ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

IRI INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) GENERAL IRI International Corporation (IRI or Company), a Delaware corporation, was formed on July 30, 1985, through the combination of Ingersoll-Rand Oilfield Products Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ingersoll-Rand Company, established August 1, 1980, and the Ideco Division of Dresser Industries, Inc. On November 19, 1997, the Company sold 9.9 million shares of its common stock through an initial public offering (IPO). Net proceeds totaled approximately $163.9 million and were used partially to repay debt incurred in connection with the acquisitions (see Notes 3 and 6). The Company manufactures and sells a full line of oil and gas mobile well servicing and drilling rigs, deep oil and gas skid-mounted drilling rigs, associated drilling equipment (Oilfield Equipment), and specialty steel products (Specialty Steel). Raw materials are readily available and the Company is not dependent upon a single or a few suppliers. On September 20, 1994, all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of IRI was acquired by Energy Services International (ESI) for cash of $5 million. The acquisition has been recorded using the purchase method of accounting and the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. The excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over consideration was applied against nonmonetary assets (property, plant and equipment) reducing the balances at the acquisition date to zero. The remaining excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over consideration paid of $26.8 million was recorded as negative goodwill and is being amortized using the straight-line method over 5 years. Negative goodwill amortization of $5.4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and $4.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1996, is included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying statements of operations. IRI was subsequently merged into ESI in October 1997. ESI was the surviving corporation and changed its name to IRI International Corporation. During 1996, the Company elected to change its fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. (2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (b) Statements of Cash Flows Cash equivalents of $37,500,000 and $49,500,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, consisted of interest-bearing cash deposits. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash and short-term highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company entered into capital lease obligations of $309,000 and $810,000, respectively. (c) Marketable Securities Marketable securities at December 31, 1998 and 1997 consist of corporate equity securities. The Company classifies its equity securities as trading securities. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding losses of $743,000 and gains of approximately $770,000 are included in other income for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 27

IRI INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (d) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using standard costs which approximate actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis for all inventories excluding oilfield equipment work-in-process, parts and raw materials, which are recorded at actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Work-in-process inventories related to fixed price contracts are stated at the accumulated cost of material, labor and manufacturing overhead, less the estimated costs of units delivered. During 1998, the Company revised certain estimates resulting in approximately $4 million in additional costs being absorbed in the manufacturing process, which was previously expensed directly to cost of sales. A portion of the incremental manufacturing overhead is capitalized into inventory at December 31, 1998. (e) Property, Plant and Equipment Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided over the estimated service lives of assets principally using the straight-line method. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred; major repairs, replacements or improvements are capitalized. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying among of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. (f) Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. (g) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes construction contract revenues for rigs and significant components using the percentage-of-completion method. Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenues and profits are recognized based on the percentage of completion throughout the performance period of the contract. The percentage-of-completion is calculated based on the ratio of contract costs incurred to date to total estimated contract costs after providing for all known or anticipated costs. Costs include material, direct labor and engineering and manufacturing overhead. Selling expenses and general and administrative expenses are charged to operations as incurred. The effect of changes in estimates of contract costs is recorded currently. If estimates of costs to complete contracts indicate a loss, provision is made currently for the total loss anticipated. All remaining revenue is generally recorded when the equipment is shipped. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billing on uncompleted contracts represent revenues earned under the percentage-of-completion method but not yet billable under the terms of the contract. Amounts are billable under contracts generally upon shipment of the products or completion of the contracts. Included in revenues and cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 1998 is $14,218,000 and $9,789,000, respectively, related to uncompleted contracts ($4,429,000, net) at December 31, 1998. Included in revenues 28

IRI INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) and cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 1997 is $34,842,000 and $25,989,000, respectively, related to uncompleted contracts ($8,853,000 net) at December 31, 1997. (h) Earnings per Common Share Weighted average shares for each of the periods presented were as follows (in thousands): [Enlarge/Download Table] YEAR ENDED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 DECEMBER 31, 1997 ----------------- ----------------- Weighted average shares outstanding -- basic........ 39,900 31,275 Incremental effect of options outstanding........... 5 -- Weighted average shares outstanding -- diluted...... 39,905 31,275 Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. For the years and quarters presented herein, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same except for the year and quarter ending December 31, 1998. Options outstanding at December 31, 1997 are anti-dilutive as the exercise price is greater than the market price at December 31, 1997. Options issued in December 1998 and outstanding at December 31, 1998 are dilutive and are included in Diluted EPS, but had no impact on EPS. (i) Financial Instruments and Credit Risk Concentrations The Company invests its excess cash in financial instruments, primarily overnight investments and money market mutual funds. These financial instruments could potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk; however, the Company's management considers the financial stability and creditworthiness of a financial institution before investing the Company's funds. The carrying amounts of the financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements (cash, accounts receivable and payables) approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. The capital lease obligation bears interest at rates that approximate market rates and, thus the carrying amount approximates estimated fair value. A substantial portion of the Company's customers are engaged in the energy industry. This concentration of customers may impact the Company's overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic and industry conditions. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and actual losses have historically been within the Company's expectations. Foreign sales also present various risks, including risks of war, civil disturbances and governmental activities that may limit or disrupt markets, restrict the movement of funds or result in the deprivation of contract rights or the taking of property without fair consideration. Most of the Company's foreign sales, however, are to large international companies or are secured by letters of credit or similar arrangements. (j) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 29

IRI INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (k) Comprehensive Income On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of net income and net unrealized gains (losses) on securities, minimum pension liabilities, and foreign currency exchange gains and losses, and is presented in the consolidated statements of stockholder's equity and comprehensive income. The Statement requires only additional disclosures in the consolidated financial statements; it does not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of SFAS No. 130. (3) ACQUISITIONS On March 31, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed liabilities of Bowen Tools, Inc. ("Bowen"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the French chemical concern L'Air Liquide, for a total consideration of $75.1 million. On April 17, 1997, the Company also acquired the stock of Cardwell International Ltd. ("Cardwell"), a privately owned company, as well as certain assets held by affiliates of Cardwell for approximately $12 million in cash at closing and partial payment ($3 million) of a note payable to bank. In addition the Company incurred approximately $3.2 million ($2.6 million for Bowen and $.6 million for Cardwell) of transaction costs in connection with the acquisitions. The acquisitions were financed through a $65 million senior secured term loan facility and $31 million of interim senior subordinated increasing rate notes. The notes outstanding under the term loan facility and the senior subordinated increasing rate notes were repaid with the proceeds from the Company's equity offering (see note 1). Bowen, headquartered in Houston, Texas, designs, manufactures and markets fishing tools and drilling, power and wireline/pressure control equipment used in the drilling and completion of oil and gas wells. Cardwell, headquartered in El Dorado, Kansas, manufactures and sells drilling rigs, related oilfield equipment and supplies predominantly to foreign countries. The acquisitions have been recorded using the purchase method of accounting and results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in the consolidated statement of operations of IRI from the dates of the respective acquisitions. The cost of the Bowen and Cardwell acquisitions have been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as follows (in thousands): [Download Table] Current assets.............................................. $ 57,389 Property, plant and equipment............................... 37,647 Excess of cost over fair value of net tangible assets of businesses acquired, net.................................. 6,096 Other assets................................................ 812 Current liabilities.........................................

IRI INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (6) NOTES PAYABLE In connection with the acquisitions described in note 3, the Company entered into a $65 million senior secured term loan facility due in quarterly installments beginning June 30, 1997 through March 31, 2002 and a $31 million interim senior subordinated increasing rate note due March 31, 1998. Amounts outstanding under these notes were repaid with proceeds from the Company's initial public offering in November 1997. The extinguishment of this debt resulted in an extraordinary charge of $1,512,000 consisting of unamortized financing costs of $2,353,000 and income tax benefit of $841,000. The Company has a $9.7 million revolving credit facility which matures on March 31, 2000. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the one, two, three or six month LIBOR plus 2 3/4%. Amounts available under the revolving credit facility ($6.7 million at December 31, 1998) are limited to the excess of the revolving credit commitment over then outstanding letter of credit obligations. The revolving credit facility agreement contains provisions, among others, that restrict incurrence of indebtedness, guarantees, acquisitions, and distributions to shareholders, and require the Company to meet specified financial maintenance tests. (7) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY On October 14, 1997, the Company merged into ESI. ESI was the surviving corporation and changed its name to IRI International Corporation. At the time of the merger, ESI had 100 common shares issued and outstanding, no liabilities and its sole asset was its investment in the Company. As a result of the merger, each share of common stock of ESI was converted into 300,000 shares of the surviving corporation, each treasury share of common stock was canceled and each share of preferred stock of the Company, including accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, was canceled. The authorized capital stock of the Company was increased to 100,000,000 common shares and 25,000,000 preferred shares. The consolidated financial statements, including all references to the number of shares of common and preferred stock and all per share information, have been adjusted to reflect the merger and the other changes in capital structure on a retroactive basis. (8) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The accumulated balances for each classification of comprehensive income are as follows: [Download Table] ACCUMULATED FOREIGN MINIMUM OTHER CURRENCY PENSION COMPREHENSIVE ITEMS LIABILITY INCOME -------- --------- ------------- Beginning balance............................ $-- (1,457) (1,457) Current period change........................ 26 (531) (505) --- ------ ------ Ending balance............................... $26 (1,988) (1,962) === ====== ====== There are no related tax effects allocated to each component of other comprehensive income as deferred income tax expenses and benefits are offset by changes in the valuation allowance. (9) STOCK OPTIONS In anticipation of the initial public stock offering, the Company granted its Directors and certain of its officers and employees an aggregate of 1,933,000 options to purchase shares of common stock. Directors not 32

IRI INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) employed by the Company received options to purchase an aggregate of 160,000 shares of common stock having an exercise price that will be equal to the initial public offering price. The options granted to Directors not employed by the Company vest as to one-half of the option shares on the effective date of the Offering and as to a further one-quarter of the option shares on the first and second anniversaries of the effective date of the Offering. Certain executive officers and employees received options to purchase an aggregate of 1,773,000 shares of common stock having an exercise price equal to the greater of the initial public offering price and the fair market value of the option shares on the date such options vest. The options granted to certain executive officers and employees generally vest as to one-third of the option shares upon the effective date of the Offering and as to a further one-third of the option shares on the first and second anniversaries of the effective date of the Offering. During 1998, the Company cancelled 1,931,000 outstanding stock options and granted 1,645,000 new options. The Company applies APB Opinion 25 in accounting for its plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options granted to employees. Compensation expense is recorded for options granted to non-employee directors based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of grant. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for non-employee director options granted was $499,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The $499,000 was recognized in income in 1998 when the options were forfeited and cancelled. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards to employees under the plan consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 1997 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands except per share data): [Download Table] 1998 1997 ------- ------- Net income As reported............................................. $12,382 $11,023 ======= ======= Pro forma............................................... $11,199 $ 7,216 ======= ======= Basic and diluted earnings per share As reported............................................. $ 0.31 $ 0.35 ======= ======= Pro forma............................................... $ 0.28 $ 0.23 ======= ======= The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: [Download Table] 1998 1997 ---- ---- Expected life (years)....................................... 5 3.3 Risk-free interest rate..................................... 4.42 6.2% Volatility.................................................. 70.0% 30.0% Dividend yield.............................................. 0.0% 0.0% 33

IRI INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred federal income tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, are as follows (in thousands): [Download Table] DECEMBER 31, ---------------- 1998 1997 ------ ------ Deferred income tax assets: Capital loss carryforward................................ $ 690 $ -- Basis in inventories..................................... 4,201 4,744 Unrealized loss on marketable equity securities.......... 260 -- Employee benefits........................................ 1,102 823 Net operating loss carryforwards......................... 1,050 1,224 Alternative minimum tax credit carryover................. -- 565 Other, principally accrued liabilities................... 378 909 ------ ------ Total gross deferred income tax assets........... 7,681 8,265 Less valuation allowance................................. 3,380 4,378 ------ ------ Net deferred income tax assets................... 4,301 3,887 ------ ------ Deferred income tax liabilities: Costs and estimated earnings in access of billings on uncompleted contracts................................. 1,917 3,010 Unrealized gain on marketable equity securities.......... -- 262 Basis in and depreciation of property, plant and equipment............................................. 2,384 615 Prepaid pension cost..................................... -- -- ------ ------ Total gross deferred income tax liabilities...... 4,301 3,887 ------ ------ Net deferred income tax liability................ $ -- $ -- ====== ====== Because of the uncertainty of generating future taxable income, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $3,380,000 and $4,378,000 at December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The valuation allowance decreased $998,000 during the year ended December 31, 1998 and $1,291,000 during the year ended December 31, 1997. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, in general, a change of more than 50% in the composition of a company's equity owners during any three years results in a limitation on such company's ability to utilize its loss carryforwards in subsequent years. The Company has undergone such an ownership change as a result of the sale described in note 1; accordingly, the amount of the Company's preacquisition net operating loss carryforwards that may be utilized per year is limited to approximately $300,000 (aggregate $3,300,000 available at December 31, 1998) expiring from 2003 through 2009. To the extent such carryforwards are not utilized in a year, they may be utilized in subsequent years. 35

IRI INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (11) LEASES At December 31, 1998, minimum future annual payments required under a capital lease together with the present value of the net minimum lease payments and noncancelable operating leases, primarily for repair facilities and offices and office equipment, were as follows (in thousands): [Download Table] OPERATING CAPITAL LEASES LEASES --------- ------- 1999....................................................... $1,228 $314 2000....................................................... 860 313 2001....................................................... 303 -- 2002....................................................... 42 -- 2003....................................................... 17 -- ------ ---- Total minimum lease payments..................... $2,450 627 ====== ---- Less amount representing interest..........................

(12) PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT PLANS In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pension and Other Post Retirement Benefits." This statement revises required disclosures for pension and other post retirement benefits, but does not change the method of accounting for such plans. The Company has a noncontributory defined pension benefit plan, which covers substantially all employees. Employees with 10 or more years of service are entitled to pension benefits beginning at normal retirement age (65) based on years of service and the employees' compensation for the 60 consecutive month period in which his compensation is the highest. The plan incorporates provisions for early retirement, the privilege to elect a life annuity, surviving spouse benefits, and disability benefits. Employees of the Company who were employees of Ingersoll-Rand Oilfield Products Company or the Ideco Division of Dresser Industries, Inc., immediately prior to becoming employees of IRI, are entitled to uninterrupted service tenure for purposes of retirement benefit calculations. Benefits payable under the IRI retirement plan are offset by benefits payable under the retirement plans of Dresser and Ingersoll-Rand Oilfield Products Company. The Company uses the accrued benefit cost method to compute the annual contributions to the plan, with minimum and maximum contributions determined on a cumulative basis and the Company having the flexibility to choose which contribution to make and which can vary from one period to the next. The accrued benefit cost includes a normal cost which is computed as the present value of the pro rata portion for the benefit accrual during the year being valued and a past service cost which is the present value of that portion of the projected benefit which has been accrued up to the valuation date. The unfunded past-service cost may be liquidated over a period of between 10 and 30 years. In addition to the Company's defined benefit pension plan, the Company sponsors a defined benefit health care plan that provides postretirement medical benefits to retirees or full-time employees who retire attaining age 55 with at least 10 years of service as of September 1, 1996. Current retirees receive benefits for life while full time employees (future retirees) only receive benefits until age 65. This plan is a contributory, with retirees contributing 20% of the health care costs. The Company's contribution is capped at a 5% annual 36

IRI INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The assumed health care cost trend rate was 10% in 1995 graded down to 5% after 12 years. Because health care cost increases over 5% annually are borne by the employees, the amounts reported are not affected by increases in the assumed health care cost trend rate.

As of September 1, 1995, the pension plan was frozen insofar as future accrual of pension benefits. Because the plan amendment to freeze the plan was planned in conjunction with the ESI acquisition discussed in note 1, the resulting curtailment gain was taken into consideration in remeasuring the Company's projected benefit obligation and the date of the acquisition. The Pension Guaranty Corporation provides protection to plan participants by assuring employees that the fixed commitment of the Company for funding vested accrued benefits of the plan will be paid up to specified maximum amounts should the Company be unable to fund the fixed commitment. The pension plan is administered by the Pension Committee which is appointed by IRI's Board of Directors. On August 11, 1995, the defined benefit health care plan was amended to terminate all employees from the plan except those eligible to retire on June 30, 1995 and all current retirees. In addition under the amended plan, active employees eligible to retire will, after the age of 65, receive through the retirement plan, 80% of the cost of medical insurance with a 5% cap over a base year premium of calendar 1996. Because it was expected that the plan would be terminated in conjunction with the ESI acquisition discussed in note 1, the effects were considered in measuring the Company's accumulated post retirement benefit obligation as of the acquisition date. The Company also has a defined contribution plan which covers most of its employees. The plan provides mandatory minimum contributions from the Company to eligible employees in the plan equal to 7 1/2% of their annual pay. Plan participants become fully vested in contributions made by the Company following three years of credited service. The Company recognized expense associated with the plan of approximately $1,289,000, $1,076,000 and $665,00 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the nine-months ended December 31, 1996, respectively. (13) RESTRUCTURING CHARGE On October 8, 1998, the Company announced a restructuring program in which the workforce would be reduced by up to 315 employees. Severance expenses incurred in connection with the restructuring program have been reported as a restructuring charge of $590,000. Substantially all amounts were paid as of December 31, 1998. Subsequent to year end the Company consolidated manufacturing operations in Pampa and Houston, closing two plants, and implemented other cost reduction measures. 38

IRI INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (14) BUSINESS SEGMENTS In the fourth quarter, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, issued for fiscal years ending December 15, 1998. The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies. Financial data for periods reported prior to the year ended 1998 have been restated to conform to the presentation according to SFAS No. 131. The Company operates through three business segments consisting of Oilfield Equipment, Downhole Tools, and Specialty Steel. The Oilfield Equipment segment is principally engaged in the design and manufacture of drilling and well servicing rigs and components for use on land and offshore drilling platforms. The Company specializes in providing small truck-mounted rigs to stationary land deep drilling rigs to meet the functional requirements of customers drilling in remote and harsh environments. The Downhole Products segment designs, manufactures, sells and rents fishing and drilling tools. The Company's Specialty Steel segment manufactures premium carbon, alloy and specialty steel for use in commercial and military products as well as for the manufacture of oilfield equipment products. IRI's steel products are also used in the petroleum, aircraft and power generation industries. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on operating income or loss before income taxes excluding nonrecurring gains and losses and foreign exchange gains and losses.

IRI INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Export sales by geographic region based upon the ultimate destination in which equipment or services were sold, shipped or provided to the customer by the Company were as follows (in thousands): [Download Table] NINE MONTHS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ENDED ----------------------- DECEMBER 31, 1998 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- ------------ Russia..................................... $ 22,137 $ 47,375 $39,717 Europe (excluding Russia).................. 12,649 12,783 151 Asia (excluding Russia).................... 17,831 11,113 72 South America.............................. 15,829 9,166 634 Africa..................................... 17,469 14,432 -- Other...................................... 1,869 6,665 -- -------- -------- ------- Total export sales............... 87,784 101,534 40,574 Domestic sales............................. 87,261 83,832 21,724 -------- -------- ------- Total sales...................... $175,045 $185,366 $62,298 ======== ======== ======= In 1998, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues. For the year ended December 31, 1997, one customer accounted for 12.9% of revenue. For the nine months ended December 31, 1996, two customers accounted for 38% and 14% of revenues, respectively. (15) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has contract commitments aggregating $21.3 million at December 31, 1998 for the manufacture and delivery of drilling and workover rigs during fiscal year 1999. At December 31, 1998, the Company was contingently liable for approximately $3.0 million in letters of credit which guarantee the Company's performance for payment to third parties in accordance with specified contractual terms and conditions. These letters of credit are primarily secured by the Company's cash, accounts receivable and inventory. Management does not expect any material losses to result from these off-balance-sheet instruments as it anticipates full performance on the related contracts. Various federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances govern the removal, encapsulation or disturbance of asbestos containing materials ("ACMs"). Such laws and regulations may impose liability for the release of ACMs and may provide for third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators of facilities at which ACMs were or are located for personal injury associated with exposure to ACMs. The Company is aware of the presence of ACMs at its facilities, but it believes that such materials are in acceptable condition at this time. The Company believes that any future costs related to remediation of ACMs at these sites will not be material, either on an annual basis or in the aggregate, although there can be no assurance with respect thereto. The Company has sought to reduce the impact of costs arising from or related to actual or potential environmental conditions at the Bowen Tools Division facilities caused or created by Bowen or its predecessors in title through the Company's contractual arrangements with Air Liquide America Corporation ("Air Liquide). Pursuant to such arrangements, Air Liquide and Bowen agreed to indemnify the Company for such costs. Air Liquide provided the Company with certain environmental assessments with respect to most of the Bowen properties conveyed to the Company. In some cases, these initial assessments recommended the performance of further investigation to evaluate the need for and to determine the extent of the removal or remediation of hazardous substances required to address historical operations of Bowen. Air Liquide is conducting a further environmental review of the Bowen Tools Division facilities to determine the potential scope of remediation to be conducted at such facilities by Air Liquide or Bowen. There can be no assurance 40

IRI INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) that Air Liquide or Bowen will meet its obligations under the indemnification arrangements or that there will not be future contamination for which the Company might be fully liable and that may require the Company to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial conditions and results of operations. Although the Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with existing laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that substantial costs for compliance will not be incurred in the future. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as stricter environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, could result in additional, presently unquantifiable, costs or liabilities to the Company. The Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial disposition, results of operations or liquidity.
