SMITH INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(All dollar amounts are expressed in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Smith International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pertaining to interim financial information. These interim financial statements do not include all information or footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other current filings with the Commission. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal and recurring nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included.
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosed amounts of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. If the underlying estimates and assumptions, upon which the financial statements are based, change in future periods, actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.
Management believes the consolidated condensed financial statements present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of the dates indicated. The results of operations for the interim period presented may not be indicative of results which may be reported on a fiscal year basis.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.
During 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. This pronouncement was adopted on January 1, 2007, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. See Note 7 for further discussion regarding FIN 48.
Management believes the impact of other recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements upon adoption.
3. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to the potential dilution of earnings that could have occurred if additional shares were issued for stock option and restricted stock awards under the treasury stock method. Although all restricted stock awards were included in diluted EPS computations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, an immaterial number of outstanding stock option awards were excluded from the respective computations of diluted EPS because they were anti-dilutive. The following schedule reconciles the income and shares used in the basic and diluted EPS computations (in thousands, except per share data):
                 
    Three Months Ended March 31,  
    2007     2006  
Basic EPS:
               
Net income
  $ 160,158     $ 107,216

Diluted EPS
  $ 0.80     $ 0.53

4. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost method for the majority of the Company’s inventories; however, a significant portion of the Company’s U.S.-based inventories are valued utilizing the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Inventory costs, consisting of materials, labor and factory overhead, are as follows:
                 
    March 31,     December 31,  
    2007     2006  
Raw materials
  $ 137,435     $ 117,812  
Work-in-process
    150,894       147,543  
Finished goods
    1,354,794       1,285,558  
 
           
 
    1,643,123       1,550,913  
Reserves to state certain U.S. inventories (FIFO cost of $632,272 and $559,943 in 2007 and 2006, respectively) on a LIFO basis
    (112,280 )     (93,542 )
 
           
 
  $ 1,530,843     $ 1,457,371  
 
           
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded additional LIFO reserves of $18.7 million. The increase primarily relates to the revaluation of on-hand inventories to current unit cost standards, which have been increased to reflect modest cost inflation experienced in the Oilfield manufacturing operations.
5. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment consist of the following:
                 
    March 31,     December 31,  
    2007     2006

Other Intangible Assets
The Company amortizes other identifiable intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the periods expected to be benefited, ranging from two to 27 years. The components of these other intangible assets are as follows:
                                                         
    March 31, 2007   December 31, 2006   Weighted
                                                    Average

  $ 111,414     $ 24,692     $ 86,722     $ 101,269     $ 19,547     $ 81,722       12.9  
License agreements
    31,688       11,548       20,140       31,231       10,661       20,570       10.4  
Non-compete agreements and trademarks
    33,421       16,937       16,484       33,421       15,662       17,759       9.3  
Customer lists and contracts
    29,403       10,138       19,265       29,403       8,314       21,089       9.4  
 
                                         
 
  $ 205,926     $ 63,315     $ 142,611     $ 195,324     $ 54,184     $ 141,140       11.6  
 
                                         
Amortization expense of other intangible assets was $7.5 million and $3.4 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. On a full year basis, amortization expense is expected to approximate $29.9 million and $20.0 million for fiscal years 2007 and 2008, respectively, and range between $10.5 million and $17.1 million per year for fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011.
7. Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. This interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed, or expected to be claimed, on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is to be recognized when, based on technical merits, it is more likely than not the position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. Pursuant to this newly issued guidance, the Company was required to record an additional $1.2 million of tax liabilities, including related interest and penalties, with a corresponding reduction in stockholders’ equity during the first quarter of 2007. From a policy standpoint, penalty and interest amounts related to income tax matters will continue to be classified as income tax expense in the Company’s financial statements.
The Company’s balance sheet at January 1, 2007 reflects $30.8 million of tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions, including $7.0 million of accrued interest and penalties. Approximately $0.9 million of this amount is classified as Income Taxes Payable with the remainder included in Other Long-Term Liabilities. Subsequent to the adoption, there were no material changes in the liability established for uncertain tax positions during the first quarter of 2007.
Although the Company does not expect to report a significant change in the amount of liabilities recorded for uncertain tax positions during the next twelve month period, changes in the recorded reserves could impact future reported results. The tax liability for uncertain tax positions includes $17.5 million of reserves established for tax matters which, if allowed by the relevant taxing authorities, would reduce reported tax expense and the related effective tax rate.
The Company operates in more than 70 countries and is subject to income taxes in most of those jurisdictions. The following table summarizes the earliest tax years that remain subject to examination by taxing authorities in the major jurisdictions in which the Company operates:

9. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company maintains various noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain U.S. and non-U.S. employees. In addition, the Company and certain subsidiaries have postretirement benefit plans, which provide health care benefits to a limited number of current, and in some cases, future retirees. Net periodic benefit expense related to the pension and postretirement benefit plans, on a combined basis, approximated $1.0 million for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Company contributions to the pension and postretirement benefit plans during 2007 are expected to be comparable with 2006 contribution levels.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Standby Letters of Credit
In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, the Company is contingently liable for performance under standby letters of credit and bid, performance and surety bonds. Certain of these outstanding instruments guarantee payment to insurance companies with respect to certain liability coverages of the Company’s insurance captive. Excluding the impact of these instruments, for which $17.9 million of related liabilities are reflected in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet, the Company was contingently liable for approximately $89.6 million of standby letters of credit and bid, performance and surety bonds at March 31, 2007. Management does not expect any material amounts to be drawn on these instruments.
Litigation
Rose Dove Egle v. John M. Egle, et al.
In April 1997, the Company acquired all of the equity interests in Tri-Tech Fishing Services, L.L.C. (“Tri-Tech”) in exchange for cash consideration of approximately $20.4 million (the “Transaction”).
In August 1998, the Company was added as a defendant in a First Amended Petition filed in the 15th Judicial District Court, Parish of Lafayette, Louisiana entitled Rose Dove Egle v. John M. Egle, et al. In the amended petition, the plaintiffs alleged that, due to an improper conveyance of ownership interest by the Tri-Tech majority partner prior to the Transaction, Smith purchased a portion of its equity interest from individuals who were not legally entitled to their Tri-Tech shares. The suit was tried in the first quarter of 2004, and a jury verdict of approximately $4.8 million was rendered in favor of the plaintiffs. The Company has appealed the verdict and does not anticipate a ruling until the third quarter of 2007. Based upon the facts and circumstances and the opinion of outside legal counsel, management believes that an unfavorable outcome on this matter is not probable at this time. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized a loss provision in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.
Other
The Company is a defendant in various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Environmental
The Company routinely establishes and reviews the adequacy of reserves for estimated future environmental clean-up costs for properties currently or previously operated by the Company.
As of March 31, 2007, the Company’s environmental reserve totaled $8.6 million. This amount reflects the future undiscounted estimated exposure related to identified properties, without regard to indemnifications from former owners. While actual future environmental costs may differ from estimated liabilities recorded at March 31, 2007, the Company does not believe that these differences will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is provided to assist readers in understanding the Company’s financial performance during the periods presented and significant trends which may impact the future performance of the Company. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Company Products and Operations
The Company is a leading global provider of premium products and services to the oil and gas exploration and production industry. The Company provides a comprehensive line of technologically-advanced products and engineering services, including drilling and completion fluid systems, solids-control and separation equipment, waste-management services, oilfield production chemicals, three-cone and diamond drill bits, turbine products, tubulars, fishing services, drilling tools, underreamers, casing exit and multilateral systems, packers and liner hangers. The Company also offers supply chain management solutions through an extensive North American branch network providing pipe, valves and fittings as well as mill, safety and other maintenance products.
The Company’s operations are largely driven by the level of exploration and production (“E&P”) spending in major energy-producing regions around the world and the depth and complexity of these projects. Although E&P spending is significantly influenced by the market price of oil and natural gas, it may also be affected by supply and demand fundamentals, finding and development costs, decline and depletion rates, political actions and uncertainties, environmental concerns, the financial condition of independent E&P companies and the overall level of global economic growth and activity. In addition, approximately seven percent of the Company’s consolidated revenues relate to the downstream energy sector, including petrochemical plants and refineries, whose spending is largely impacted by the general condition of the U.S. economy.
Capital investment by energy companies is largely divided into two markets, which vary greatly in terms of primary business drivers and associated volatility levels. North American drilling activity is primarily influenced by natural gas fundamentals, with approximately 80 percent of the current rig count focused on natural gas finding and development activities. Conversely, drilling in areas outside of North America is more dependent on crude oil fundamentals, which influence over three-quarters of international drilling activity. Historically, business in markets outside of North America has proved to be less volatile as the high cost E&P programs in these regions are generally undertaken by major oil companies, consortiums and national oil companies as part of a longer-term strategic development plan. Although close to 60 percent of the Company’s consolidated revenues were generated in North America during the first quarter of 2007, Smith’s profitability was largely dependent upon business levels in markets outside of North America. The Distribution segment, which accounts for approximately 26 percent of consolidated revenues and primarily supports a North American customer base, serves to distort the geographic revenue mix of the Company’s Oilfield segment operations. Excluding the impact of the Distribution segment, 56 percent of the Company’s first quarter 2007 revenues were generated in markets outside of North America.
Business Outlook
Near-term activity levels will likely be influenced by the annual spring break-up in Canada, which limits land-based drilling activity in that market during a portion of the second quarter. Seasonal drilling restrictions have resulted in a significant decline in the Canadian rig count from the average level reported for the first quarter of 2007, which will likely contribute to a temporary decline in average worldwide drilling activity for the second quarter. Excluding the seasonal decline in Canada, the Company believes activity levels will increase modestly throughout the remainder of the year influenced by the increased level of investment anticipated in the global offshore markets.
Although a number of factors influence forecasted exploration and production spending, the Company’s business is highly dependent on the general economic environment in the United States and other major world economies, which ultimately impact energy consumption and the resulting demand for our products and services. Any significant deterioration in the global economic environment or prolonged weakness in commodity prices could adversely affect worldwide drilling activity and the future financial results of the Company.

Oilfield Segment
Revenues
M-I SWACO primarily provides drilling and completion fluid systems, engineering and technical services to the oil and gas industry. Additionally, these operations provide oilfield production chemicals and manufacture and market equipment and services used for solids-control, particle separation, pressure control, rig instrumentation and waste-management. M-I SWACO is significantly influenced by exploration and production spending in markets outside of North America, which contributes approximately two-thirds of the unit’s revenues, and by its exposure to the U.S. offshore market, which constitutes approximately 10 percent of the revenue base. U.S. offshore drilling accounts for approximately three percent of the worldwide rig count and generally is more revenue-intensive than land-based projects due to the complex nature of the related drilling environment. M-I SWACO’s revenues totaled $1.0 billion for the first quarter of 2007, an increase of 29 percent above the prior year period. Excluding the impact of operations acquired during the prior twelve-month period, revenues grew 27 percent over the first quarter of 2006. The majority of the base revenue increase was generated in markets outside of North America, largely attributable to new contract awards and increased customer activity in the Europe/Africa and Asia offshore regions. North American base revenues grew 14 percent above the prior year level, reflecting new deepwater projects in the U.S. offshore market and increased customer spending and improved pricing related to land-based drilling programs.
Smith Technologies designs and manufactures three-cone and diamond drill bits, turbines and borehole enlargement tools for use in the oil and gas industry. Due to the nature of its product offerings, revenues for these operations typically correlate more closely to the rig count than any of the Company’s other businesses. Moreover, Smith Technologies has a high level of North American revenue exposure driven, in part, by the significance of its Canadian operations. Accordingly, depending on the duration and severity of the annual seasonal drilling decline in Canada, this factor could have an adverse effect on the unit’s second quarter financial performance. Smith Technologies reported revenues of $244.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, 22 percent above amounts reported in the comparable prior year period. On a geographic basis, approximately two-thirds of the revenue improvement was generated in markets outside North America reflecting higher land-based drilling activity levels in the Europe/Africa region. The year-over-year revenue growth was influenced by increased demand for the RHINO®Reamer and other borehole enlargement tools, higher global drilling activity and, to a lesser extent, the impact of price increases implemented during the past 12-month period. Increased demand for borehole enlargement technologies in offshore and other complex drilling applications has resulted in the development and introduction of new product sizes which has favorably impacted revenue volumes.
Smith Services manufactures and markets products and services used in the oil and gas industry for drilling, work-over, well completion and well re-entry. Revenues for Smith Services are relatively balanced between North America and the international markets and are heavily influenced by the complexity of drilling projects, which drive demand for a wider range of its product offerings. Smith Services’ revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 totaled $282.5 million, 35 percent above the prior year period. Higher sales of tubular products in the U.S. market accounted for the majority of the year-over-year revenue growth, influenced, in part, by incremental manufacturing capacity added by the Company’s drill pipe supplier. Excluding the impact of tubular product sales, which are not highly correlated to drilling activity, business volumes increased 19 percent above the comparable prior year period. The majority of the non-tubular business growth was reported in the United States, reflecting increased customer demand for drilling, fishing and remedial products and services. Approximately 45 percent of the year-over-year non-tubular revenue growth was generated outside of North America, impacted by increases in the corresponding activity levels.
Operating Income
Operating income for the Oilfield segment was $311.0 million, or 19.9 percent of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Segment operating margins were 1.8 percentage points above the prior year period with incremental operating income approximating 26 percent of revenues. The impact of a favorable business mix period-to-period, pricing initiatives and, to a lesser extent, improved general and administrative cost coverage all contributed to the margin expansion. On an absolute dollar basis, first quarter 2007 operating income increased $91.2 million, reflecting the impact of a 29 percent increase in business volumes on gross profit, partially offset by growth in variable-based operating expenses, including additional investment in personnel and infrastructure to support the expanding business operations.

Distribution Segment
Revenues
Wilson markets pipe, valves, fittings and mill, safety and other maintenance products to energy and industrial markets, primarily through an extensive network of supply branches in the United States and Canada. The segment has the most significant North American revenue exposure of any of the Company’s operations with 95 percent of Wilson’s first quarter 2007 revenues generated in those markets. Moreover, approximately 25 percent of Wilson’s revenues relate to sales to the downstream energy sector, including petrochemical plants and refineries, whose spending is largely influenced by the general state of the U.S. economic environment. Additionally, certain customers in this sector utilize petroleum products as a base material and, accordingly, are adversely impacted by increases in crude oil and natural gas prices. Distribution revenues were $546.0 million for the first quarter of 2007, 16 percent above the comparable prior year period. The majority of the period-to-period growth reflects increased customer spending related to line pipe projects in the upstream and, to a lesser extent, midstream energy sector operations.
Operating Income
Operating income for the Distribution segment was $29.2 million, or 5.4 percent of revenues, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Segment operating margins were 10 basis points below the prior year period, reflecting a shift in the business mix towards line pipe sales, which carry lower relative margins. Improved fixed sales and administrative cost coverage, due to the increased business volumes, partially mitigated the impact of the business mix shift. On an absolute dollar basis, first quarter 2007 operating income increased $3.2 million above the amount reported in the prior year period, primarily reflecting the impact of higher business volumes on gross profit.

Consolidated revenues were $2.1 billion for the first quarter of 2007, 25 percent above the prior year period. More than 80 percent of the revenue growth was attributable to increased demand for Oilfield segment product offerings. Oilfield segment revenues grew 29 percent year-over-year influenced by new contract awards and a favorable customer mix in the Eastern Hemisphere and U.S. offshore markets, higher tubular product sales volumes and, to a lesser extent, increased global activity levels. The Distribution operations, driven by increased demand related to line pipe projects in the U.S., reported a 16 percent increase from the prior year quarter, also contributing to the consolidated revenue improvement.

Gross profit totaled $676.0 million for the first quarter, or 32 percent of revenues, 80 basis points above the margins reported in the comparable prior year period. The impact of higher business volumes on fixed costs coupled with an improved business mix and pricing realization influenced the gross margin expansion. On an absolute dollar basis, gross profit increased $149.4 million, or 28 percent, over the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting higher sales volumes in the Oilfield operations.
Operating expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses, increased $55.4 million from the prior year quarter; however, as a percentage of revenues, decreased 80 basis points. Improved fixed cost coverage in the sales and administrative functions accounted for the operating expense percentage decline. The majority of the absolute dollar increase was attributable to variable-related costs associated with the improved business volumes, including increased investment in personnel and infrastructure.
Net interest expense, which represents interest expense less interest income, equaled $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2007, an increase of $5.5 million from the prior year period. The variance primarily reflects higher average debt levels, largely associated with acquisition-related borrowings in the later half of 2006.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter approximated 30 percent, impacted by the claim of prior period U.S. research and development tax credits and other tax adjustments recognized during the March 2007 quarter. Excluding the non-recurring tax items, the effective rate approximated 32 percent, comparable to the rate reported in the prior year period, but below the U.S. statutory rate. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate due to the impact of M-I SWACO’s U.S. partnership earnings for which the minority partner is directly responsible for its related income taxes. The Company properly consolidates the pretax income related to the minority partner’s share of U.S. partnership earnings but excludes the related tax provision.
Minority interest expense reflects the portion of the results of majority-owned operations which are applicable to the minority interest partners. Minority interest expense was $15.1 million above amounts reported in the prior year quarter primarily associated with improved profitability levels in the M-I SWACO joint venture.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
At March 31, 2007, cash and cash equivalents equaled $93.1 million. During the first three months of 2007, the Company generated $41.2 million of cash flows from operations, which is $38.6 million above the amount reported in the comparable prior year period. The improvement in cash generated from operations was primarily attributable to the year-over-year increase in overall profitability levels.
During the March 2007 quarter, cash flows used in investing activities totaled $64.0 million, primarily consisting of amounts required to fund capital expenditures. Cash required to fund investing activities declined modestly from the prior year period as higher year-over-year capital spending requirements, influenced by new contract awards and continued geographic expansion, was largely offset by reduced acquisition funding levels.
Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $35.0 million for the first quarter of 2007. Incremental investment in working capital, associated with the higher level of global business volumes, combined with increased funding requirements for employee profit sharing programs resulted in generating a limited amount of cash flow from operations during the first quarter of 2007. Accordingly, cash flow from operations was not sufficient to fund investing and financing activities resulting in incremental borrowings of $55.9 million under existing credit facilities.
The Company’s primary internal source of liquidity is cash flow generated from operations. Cash flows generated from operations is primarily influenced by the level of worldwide drilling activity, which affects profitability levels and working capital requirements. Capacity under revolving credit agreements is also available, if necessary, to fund operating or investing activities. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had $199.0 million drawn and $4.5 million of letters of credit issued under its U.S. revolving credit facilities, resulting in $196.5 million of capacity available for future operating or investing needs. The Company also has revolving credit facilities in place outside of the United States, which are generally used to finance local operating needs. At March 31, 2007, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $78.1 million under the non-U.S. borrowing facilities.

The Company’s external sources of liquidity include debt and equity financing in the public capital markets, if needed. The Company carries an investment-grade credit rating with recognized rating agencies, generally providing the Company with access to debt markets. The Company’s overall borrowing capacity is, in part, dependent on maintaining compliance with financial covenants under the various credit agreements. As of March 31, 2007, the Company was well within the covenant compliance thresholds under its various loan indentures, as amended, providing the ability to access available borrowing capacity. Management believes funds generated by operations, amounts available under existing credit facilities and external sources of liquidity will be sufficient to finance capital expenditures and working capital needs of the existing operations for the foreseeable future.
Management continues to evaluate opportunities to acquire products or businesses complementary to the Company’s operations. Additional acquisitions, if they arise, may involve the use of cash or, depending upon the size and terms of the acquisition, may require debt or equity financing.
The Company makes regular quarterly distributions under a dividend program. The current annualized payout under the program of approximately $80 million is expected to be funded with future cash flows from operations and, if necessary, amounts available under existing credit facilities. The level of future dividend payments will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend upon the Company’s financial condition, earnings, cash flows, compliance with certain debt covenants and other relevant factors.
The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a share buyback program that allows for the repurchase of up to 20.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to regulatory issues, market considerations and other relevant factors. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had 16.9 million shares remaining under the current authorization. Future repurchases under the program may be executed from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and will be funded with cash flows from operations or amounts available under existing credit facilities.
Commitments and Contingencies
Standby Letters of Credit
In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, the Company is contingently liable for performance under standby letters of credit and bid, performance and surety bonds. Certain of these outstanding instruments guarantee payment to insurance companies with respect to certain liability coverages of the Company’s insurance captive. Excluding the impact of these instruments, for which $17.9 million of related liabilities are reflected in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet, the Company was contingently liable for approximately $89.6 million of standby letters of credit and bid, performance and surety bonds at March 31, 2007. Management does not expect any material amounts to be drawn on these instruments.
Litigation
Rose Dove Egle v. John M. Egle, et al.
In April 1997, the Company acquired all of the equity interests in Tri-Tech Fishing Services, L.L.C. (“Tri-Tech”) in exchange for cash consideration of approximately $20.4 million (the “Transaction”).
In August 1998, the Company was added as a defendant in a First Amended Petition filed in the 15th Judicial District Court, Parish of Lafayette, Louisiana entitled Rose Dove Egle v. John M. Egle, et al. In the amended petition, the plaintiffs alleged that, due to an improper conveyance of ownership interest by the Tri-Tech majority partner prior to the Transaction, Smith purchased a portion of its equity interest from individuals who were not legally entitled to their Tri-Tech shares. The suit was tried in the first quarter of 2004, and a jury verdict of approximately $4.8 million was rendered in favor of the plaintiffs. The Company has appealed the verdict and does not anticipate a ruling until the third quarter of 2007. Based upon the facts and circumstances and the opinion of outside legal counsel, management believes that an unfavorable outcome on this matter is not probable at this time. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized a loss provision in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.
Other
The Company is a defendant in various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Environmental
The Company routinely establishes and reviews the adequacy of reserves for estimated future environmental clean-up costs for properties currently or previously operated by the Company.
As of March 31, 2007, the Company’s environmental reserve totaled $8.6 million. This amount reflects the future undiscounted estimated exposure related to identified properties, without regard to indemnifications from former owners. While actual future environmental costs may differ from estimated liabilities recorded at March 31, 2007, the Company does not believe that these differences will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In its 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has described the critical accounting policies that require management’s most significant judgments and estimates. There have been no material changes in these critical accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.
During 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. This pronouncement was adopted on January 1, 2007, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. See Note 7 to the consolidated condensed financial statements for further discussion regarding FIN 48.
Management believes the impact of other recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements upon adoption.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company is exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions that are entered into in the normal course of business which are primarily related to interest rate changes and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. During the reporting period, no events or transactions have occurred which would materially change the information disclosed in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers concluded that as of March 31, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
