ITEM 1 BUSINESS

As used herein, Maverick Tube Corporation and its direct and indirect
wholly-owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to as "the Company," whereas
"Maverick" is referred to as the Company exclusive of its operating
subsidiaries: Prudential Steel Ltd. ("Prudential"), Precision Tube Holding
Corporation ("Precision"), the tubular division of the former LTV Corporation
("Republic Conduit") and SeaCAT Corporation ("SeaCAT"). Also, unless the context
otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us" or "our" refer to the Company.

Certain statements contained in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of this report regarding
matters (including statements as to beliefs or expectations) that are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements, as that term is defined under
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because such
forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. For example, uncertainty continues to exist as to future levels and
volatility of oil and gas price expectations and their effect on drilling levels
and demand for our energy-related products, the future impact of industry-wide
draw-downs of inventories, future import levels and the value of the U.S.
dollar. Also, uncertainty continues to exist as to future purchased steel cost
(our principal raw material, representing approximately two-thirds of cost of
goods sold).

It is not possible to foresee or identify all factors that could have a material
and negative impact on the future financial performance of the Company. The
forward-looking statements in this report are based on certain assumptions and
analyses we have made in light of our experience and perception of historical
conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe
appropriate under the circumstances. Further information covering issues that
could materially affect our financial performance is contained in the "Risk
Factors" section of this Form 10-K.

The market data and other statistical information used throughout this report
are based on independent industry publications, government publications, reports
by market research firms or other published independent sources. Some data is
also based on our good faith estimates that are derived from our review of
internal surveys as well as the independent sources listed above. Although we
believe these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the
information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness.

All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

GENERAL

Maverick Tube Corporation is a leading North American producer of welded tubular
steel products used in energy and industrial applications. We are the largest
producer of oil country tubular goods (sometimes referred to as OCTG) and line
pipe products for use in newly drilled oil and gas wells and for transporting
oil and natural gas. We primarily sell these products to distributors in the
U.S. and Canada. Over the past two years, we expanded our business into coiled
tubing products with our acquisitions of Precision and SeaCAT. These two
acquisitions added $55.3 million of sales to our consolidated operations during
2003. Coiled tubing products are used primarily to maintain existing wells and
to complete new wells. We sell coiled tubing to customers throughout North
America and internationally. OCTG, line pipe and coiled tubing products comprise
our energy product line. We generated approximately 70.3% of our revenue by
supplying products to the energy business during 2003.

We also manufacture structural tubing, also known as hollow structural sections
or HSS, standard pipe and pipe piling. In January 2003, we entered the steel
electrical conduit business with our acquisition of Republic Conduit. This
acquisition added $197.9 million of sales to our consolidated operations during

                                       4
<PAGE>
2003. Structural tubing, standard pipe, pipe piling and steel electrical conduit
products comprise our industrial product line. We sell these industrial products
to service centers, fabricators and end-users.

We were incorporated in Missouri in 1977 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1987.
Our principal executive offices are located at 16401 Swingley Ridge Road,
Seventh Floor, Chesterfield, Missouri 63017 and our phone number is (636)
733-1600.

Business Acquisitions and Recent Developments

On March 29, 2002, we completed the purchase of all the common stock of
Precision, a Houston based, coiled tubular goods manufacturer, in exchange for
$60.7 million cash and 200,000 of our common shares.

On December 31, 2002, we acquired the assets and certain liabilities of Republic
Conduit for $119.9 million cash. In February 2003, we announced the closure of
Republic Conduit's Youngstown, Ohio operating facility and its divisional
headquarters.

On February 28, 2003, we completed the acquisition of SeaCAT, a Houston based,
coiled tubular goods manufacturer, in exchange for $4.0 million cash, a $5.0
million secured, 11.0% subordinated note and 733,676 shares of common stock of
the Company. The purchase price could be further increased by up to an
additional $0.5 million if SeaCAT achieves certain performance targets through
2005.

As of December 31, 2003, we reorganized the structure of our Canadian operations
in order to more appropriately reflect how we conduct our business in Canada,
simplify our cross border organizations structure and reduce cost.

Our senior lenders have amended our senior credit facility to, among
other things:

         -        substitute our current cash dominion arrangement, under which
                  the lenders have sole control over our cash receipts, for an
                  arrangement that permits us to have sole control over our cash
                  receipts unless and until our excess availability is less than
                  $50 million or an event of default occurs, in which case the
                  lenders have the option to impose a "springing" lock box
                  arrangement and have sole control over our cash receipts; and

         -        effectively increase the permitted funding deficiency amount
                  of our supplemental executive retirement plan covering certain
                  of our Canadian employees to $4 million Canadian.


Effective April 1, 2004, the steel surcharge based upon the American Metal
Market's Consumer Buying Price for No. 1 Busheling will be $125 per ton. Our
replacement cost of steel for the second quarter is 68% above the prevailing
cost experienced during 2003. Changes in steel prices have a significant impact
on the margin levels of our energy products due to the fact that energy products
pricing is generally driven by OTCG and line pipe demand. However, we have
announced five spot U.S. OCTG price increases since the beginning of 2004 which
have averaged approximately $375 per ton in response to the steel surcharges and
base price increases announced by our steel suppliers in March 2004.

Segments

As of January 1, 2003, the Company reclassified its business into two new
segments, Energy Products and Industrial Products. These segments are designed
to improve the alignment of strategies and objectives among sales, marketing and
production; provide for more timely and rational allocation of resources within
businesses; and focus long-term planning efforts on key objectives and
initiatives.

For information with regard to total revenue, operating profit or loss and
identifiable assets attributable to each of our business segments, see Notes 1
and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 32, 40 and 41 of our
Annual Report to Stockholders for the Year Ended December 31, 2003 ("2003 Annual
Report"), portions of which are filed as Exhibit 13, previously filed.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information
contained or incorporated by reference in this annual report on Form 10-K, as
amended, before purchasing shares of our common stock. Additional risks not
presently known to us and risks that we currently deem immaterial may also
impair our business operations. Our business and financial condition could be
seriously harmed. In addition, the trading price of our common stock could
decline due to the occurrence of any of such events, and you may lose all or
part of your investment.

Downturns in oil and natural gas prices would reduce demand for our energy
products, which could cause our sales to decrease.

Our principal products consist of OCTG, line pipe and coiled tubing and line
pipe. Sales of these products to the energy industry constitute our most
significant revenue source. In fact, revenues from the sale of OCTG, line pipe
and coiled tubing to the energy industry accounted for approximately 70% and 82%
of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Demand for these products depends primarily upon the number of oil and natural
gas wells being drilled, completed and worked over in the U.S. and Canada and
the depth and drilling conditions of these wells. Similar factors also affect
the demand for line pipe. The level of these activities is primarily dependent
on current and anticipated oil and natural gas prices. Many factors, such as the
supply and demand for oil and natural gas, general economic conditions and
global weather patterns affect these prices. As a result, future levels and
volatility of oil and

                                       5
<PAGE>

natural gas prices are uncertain. In periods where the demand level for our OCTG
products is reduced, we would expect that our sales of these products would
decrease.

Easing or elimination of trade relief now in place would likely increase the
level of imports of products that compete with ours, which would cause increased
competition for our products.

U.S. OCTG - The level of imports of OCTG, which has varied significantly over
time, affects the U.S. and Canadian OCTG markets. We believe these import levels
are affected by, among other things:

         -        North American and overall world demand for OCTG,

         -        The trade practices of and government subsidies to foreign
                  producers and

         -        The presence or absence of antidumping and countervailing
                  duties.

Antidumping and countervailing duty orders require special duties to be imposed
in amounts designed to offset unfair pricing and government subsidization,
respectively. In the U.S., once an order is in place, foreign producers,
importers, domestic producers and other parties may request an "administrative
review" on a yearly basis to determine the duty rates to be applied to imports
from the companies covered by the review. In addition, a company that did not
ship to the U.S. during the original period examined by the U.S. government may
request a "new shipper review" to obtain its own duty rate on an expedited
basis.

U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty orders may be revoked as a result of
periodic "sunset reviews." An individual importer may also obtain revocation
applicable only to itself under certain circumstances. In June 2000, the U.S.
government completed sunset reviews of orders covering Canada and Taiwan and
revoked both orders. In June 2001, the U.S. government completed sunset reviews
of the orders covering Argentina, Italy, Japan, Korea and Mexico and kept those
orders in place. However, those orders will be subject to a new sunset review
beginning in 2005. If the orders covering imports from Argentina, Italy, Japan,
Korea and Mexico are revoked in full or in part or the duty rates lowered, we
could be exposed to increased competition from imports that could have a
material adverse effect on our U.S. business. In addition, the Continued Dumping
and Subsidy Offset Act ("CDSOA") was passed during 2000. This act allowed for
the tariffs collected by the U.S. Customs Department to be dispersed to those
companies that supported the original suit.

In March 2002, an antidumping petition was filed with the U.S. government
covering OCTG from Austria, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia,
Romania, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine and Venezuela. On May 10, 2002,
the U.S. government voted to end this case. As a result of this ruling, there
was not any additional import relief for OCTG. Imports of OCTG products
increased 59.0% from 2002 to 2003, with import market share growing from 21.7%
in 2002 to 28.8% in 2003. This increased level of imports contributed to weaker
product pricing throughout most of 2003. In the absence of a trade finding on
OCTG, we can expect our OCTG products to continue to be subject to both price
and demand pressure throughout 2004.

U.S. Line Pipe - The three-year tariff rate quota on welded line pipe 16-inch
and under imposed in March 2000 under Section 201 expired on March 1, 2003. In
early March 2004, an antidumping petition was filed with the U.S. government
covering line pipe from China, Korea and Mexico.

U.S. Industrial and Other - The Section 201 trade case signed by the President
in March 2002 provided a three-year program of quotas and tariffs covering a
wide range of imported steel products with the exception of OCTG. Of specific
interest to our business, imported flat rolled products, including hot rolled
steel coils, are subject to a three-year decreasing tariff system of 30.0%,
24.0% and 18.0%. Also, our standard pipe product line and HSS product line are
subject to this same tariff system of 15.0%, 12.0% and 9.0%. On November 10,
2003, the World Trade Organization found the Section 201 trade case illegal.
Based on this decision, the European Union and other complaining countries were
in a position to impose retaliatory measures. As a result, on December 5, 2003,
the President rescinded the Section 201 protection on steel imports.

                                       6
<PAGE>

Canada - In August 2002, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal found injury
on the part of all imported steel products except hot rolled products. In
September 2003, the Canadian government rejected the Tribunal's findings; thus,
no additional duties will be imposed and no further trade action has been taken.

In October 2003, the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency initiated an inquiry into
imports of HSS into Canada. Imports of HSS into Canada can affect our Canadian
HSS selling prices and volumes.

The likely result of significant increased competition from the easing or
elimination of trade relief now in place would likely be decreased sales of our
energy products and overall profitability.

Increases in steel prices, which would increase our costs of manufacturing our
products, would likely decrease our operating profits.

Purchased steel represents approximately two-thirds of our cost of goods sold.
As a result, the steel industry, which is highly volatile and cyclical in
nature, affects our business both positively and negatively. Numerous factors,
most of which are beyond our control, drive the cycles of the steel industry and
influence steel prices. Some of these factors are:

         -        general economic conditions,

         -        industry capacity utilization,

         -        import duties and other trade restrictions and

         -        currency exchange rates.

Average steel costs included in cost of goods sold increased during 2003 by $31
per ton, or 10.0% from $311 per ton to $342 per ton. As with any change in our
cost of steel raw materials, we cannot be certain as to the timing or extent of
which such change is realized. The base replacement cost of hot rolled steel at
December 31, 2003 is approximately 14.0% above the average cost of goods sold
per unit experienced during 2003. In December 2003, our steel suppliers
implemented an unprecedented scrap surcharge based upon the American Metal
Market's Consumer Buying Price for No. 1 Busheling. It is expected the surcharge
will fluctuate based on scrap prices on a monthly basis. The surcharges for
January, February, March and an estimate for April 2004 are $20 per ton, $60 per
ton, $100 per ton and $120 per ton, respectively. We expect the replacement cost
of steel to remain volatile throughout 2004. We estimate our April 2004
replacement cost of steel to be approximately 50% to 75% above the prevailing
price experienced during 2003. However, the magnitude and timing of steel cost
changes are unknown at this time.

Changes in steel prices have a significant impact on the margin levels of our
energy products due to the fact that energy products pricing is generally driven
by OCTG and line pipe demand. However, we announced four spot U.S. OCTG price
increases since the beginning of 2004 which have averaged approximately $180 per
ton or 28.9% in response to the steel surcharges announced by our steel
suppliers in late December 2003, which continue to be applied to our U.S.
energy, HSS, standard pipe and piling products. We are also attempting to raise
base prices on our conduit and Canadian energy products. These surcharges and
price increases across all our product lines are designed to absorb the
anticipated increase in the cost of our principal raw material. Given the mix of
our U.S. alliance sales and volume of our Canadian OCTG business, the timing and
the extent to which our price increases can be realized, are uncertain. No
assurance can be given that we will be successful in implementing price
increases sufficient to fully absorb the anticipated steel cost increases
discussed below.

Reductions in industry inventory levels could reduce our sales and profit.

Industry inventory levels of our products, particularly OCTG, can change
significantly from period to period. These changes can have a direct adverse
effect on the demand for new production of energy and

                                       7
<PAGE>

industrial products when customers draw from inventory rather than purchase new
products. Reduced demand, in turn, would likely result in reduced sales volume
and overall profitability.

Risks generally associated with acquisitions.

An important element of our growth strategy has been and is expected to continue
to be the pursuit of acquisitions of other businesses that either expand or
complement our existing product lines. Integrating businesses, however, involves
a number of special risks, including the possibility that management may be
distracted from regular business concerns by the need to integrate operations,
unforeseen difficulties in integrating operations and systems, problems
concerning assimilating and retaining the employees of the acquired business,
accounting issues that arise in connection with the acquisition, challenges in
retaining customers and potential adverse short-term effects on operating
results. In addition, we may incur debt to finance future acquisitions, and we
may issue securities in connection with future acquisitions that may dilute the
holdings of our current or future stockholders. If we are unable to successfully
complete and integrate strategic acquisitions in a timely manner, our growth
strategy could be adversely impacted.

The operations of the end-users of our products expose us to potential product
liability claims.

Drilling for, and the transmission of, oil and natural gas involve a variety of
risks, including risks relating to well failures, line pipe leaks and fires.
Actual or claimed defects in products, including our energy products, structural
tubing and conduit, could give rise to claims, liabilities, costs and expenses,
relating to loss of life, personal injury, property damage, damage to equipment
and facilities, pollution, inefficient heat recovery, loss of production or
suspension of operations. We maintain insurance coverage against potential
product liability claims in amounts we believe to be adequate. However, in the
future we may incur product liability claims in excess of our insurance
coverage, or that is subject to substantial deductibles, or incur uninsured
product liability costs. These liabilities and costs could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Moreover, any claims made under our policies likely will cause our premiums to
increase, and we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance coverage levels
in the future.

We depend on a few suppliers for a significant portion of our steel, and a loss
of one or more significant suppliers could adversely affect our ability to
obtain our basic raw material.

In calendar year 2003, we purchased approximately 81% of our steel for our U.S.
operations from three suppliers, and in excess of 80% of the steel for our
Canadian operations from two Canadian suppliers. The loss of any of these
suppliers or interruption of production at one or more of the suppliers could
adversely affect our ability to obtain our basic raw material. In such case, our
cost of purchasing steel from alternate sources could be higher and could affect
our ability to produce sufficient quantities of our products.

Our increased level of indebtedness could make us more vulnerable to down-turns
in the energy market.

We incurred additional indebtedness of $39.3 million during 2003. Our net debt
to capitalization ratio decreased from 28.7% at December 31, 2002, to 27.9% at
December 31, 2003. Because our OCTG business is highly cyclical, our historical
financial results have been, and our future financial results are expected to
be, subject to fluctuations. While management believes that our current level of
indebtedness is reasonable in relation to our current capitalization and working
capital positions, our increased level of indebtedness could increase our
vulnerability to cyclical declines in the energy markets. More specifically, our
level of indebtedness could affect our operations, and expose us to greater
risks, during a cyclical decline in several ways, including:

         -        a greater percentage of our cash flow would be required to be
                  used to service our indebtedness;

         -        we may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from
                  operations to enable us to meet our debt service and other
                  fixed-charge requirements;

                                       8
<PAGE>

         -        we may not be able to obtain additional financing for working
                  capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general
                  corporate and other purposes;

         -        our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to changes in,
                  our businesses and the industries in which we compete may be
                  limited; and

         -        we may be put at a possible competitive disadvantage with
                  respect to our competitors that have relatively less
                  indebtedness.

Covenant restrictions in our senior revolving credit facility could limit our
ability to operate our business.

Our revolving credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants that
prohibit or impose limitations (subject to certain exceptions) on us with
respect to, among other things:

         -        creation or incurrence of indebtedness;

         -        creation or incurrence of liens;

         -        investment;

         -        mergers, acquisitions or changes of existence, ownership or
                  business operations;

         -        sale or other disposition of assets other than inventory in
                  the ordinary course of business;

         -        declaration or payment of dividends or the purchase,
                  redemption, retirement or other acquisition of capital stock;

         -        transaction with affiliates;

         -        capital expenditures in excess of $30.0 million in any
                  calendar year and

         -        granting of any negative pledge in any agreement, contract or
                  understanding with a third party.

All of these covenants could affect our ability to operate our business and may
limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they
arise. Moreover, our failure to comply with the financial and other covenants
could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, would prevent
us from borrowing under our senior revolving credit facility and could cause us
to be required to repay our borrowings before their due date. If we were unable
to make this repayment or otherwise refinance these borrowings, our lenders
could foreclose on our assets.

Certain of our operations are subject to collective bargaining agreements that
could subject us to additional labor costs.

Prudential's facility located in Calgary, Alberta, operates under a collective
bargaining agreement expiring on December 31, 2006 covering approximately 78% of
all Prudential employees. Prudential has a good working relationship with the
union and there have been no significant labor stoppages in their history.

In connection with our acquisition of Republic Conduit, we entered into
collective bargaining agreements with the United Steel Workers of America
covering approximately 49% of all Republic Conduit employees. These agreements
expire on November 15, 2005.

While we believe our present labor relations to be good, our failure to renew
these agreements on reasonable terms could result in labor disruptions and
increased labor costs, thereby increasing the costs of producing our products.

Because of the substantial amount of business we conduct in Canada, decreases in
the value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar would reduce the
profitability of our Canadian operations.

Although our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, a significant
portion of our sales and operating costs are denominated in Canadian dollars.
Consequently, in consolidating the financial results of our

                                       9
<PAGE>

Canadian operations for reporting purposes, we are exposed to cash flow and
earnings volatility as a result of fluctuations in relative currency values. A
significant decrease in the relevant value of the Canadian dollar would reduce
the profitability of our Canadian operations, which would adversely affect the
results of our consolidated operations.

Our industry is characterized by intense competition.

We compete against a number of companies in each of our principal business
lines. Some of our competitors are larger than us and have greater financial and
marketing resources and business diversification. These companies may be better
able than our Company to successfully endure downturns in either the energy or
industrial sector. The OCTG, structural and electrical conduit product markets
are largely commodity-based in nature and as a result, price competition is of
particular importance. In periods of reduced demand for our products, we can
either choose to maintain market share by reducing our selling prices to meet
competition or maintain selling prices which would likely sacrifice market
share. Sales and overall profitability would be reduced under either scenario.

Compliance with and changes in environmental, health and safety laws regulating
the operation of our business could increase the costs of producing our product
and expose us to environmental claims.

Our businesses are subject to numerous U.S. and Canadian local, state,
provincial and federal laws and regulations concerning environmental, health and
safety matters, including those relating to air emissions, wastewater discharges
and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of
hazardous wastes. Violations of such laws and regulations can lead to
substantial fines and penalties. Also, there are risks of substantial costs and
liabilities relating to the investigation and remediation of past or present
contamination, at current as well as former properties utilized by us and at
third-party disposal sites, regardless of fault or the legality of the original
activities that led to such contamination. Moreover, future developments, such
as changes in laws and regulations, more stringent enforcement or interpretation
thereof, and claims for property damage or personal injury could cause us to
incur substantial losses or expenditures. Although we believe we are in
substantial compliance with all applicable current laws and regulations, any new
or modified laws or regulations could increase the cost of producing our
products thereby reducing our profits.

We have defined benefit pensions plans, which could result in charges against
our earnings.

Our subsidiary, Prudential Steel Ltd., sponsors two pension plans and a
post-retirement benefit plan for substantially all of its Canadian employees and
a supplemental executive retirement plan. At December 31, 2003, certain of these
plans were under-funded resulting in a combined under-funding of an aggregate of
approximately $7.9 million. If these plans do not achieve an investment return
to the extent of the estimated rate for a particular fiscal year, such
deficiency could result in a charge against earnings for that and subsequent
years and could result in a violation of certain restrictive covenants in our
senior credit facility.

Provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a
change of control.

Some provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law could delay or
prevent a change in control of the Company, even if that change might be
beneficial to our stockholders. Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and amended and restated by-laws contain provisions that may make
acquiring control of Maverick difficult, including provisions:

         -        limiting the rights to call special meetings of our
                  stockholders;

         -        regulating the ability of our stockholders to bring matters
                  for action at annual meetings of our stockholders;

         -        prohibiting action by stockholders by written consent and

         -        authorization to issue and set the terms of preferred stock by
                  our board of directors.

                                       10
<PAGE>

In addition, we have adopted a stockholder rights plan that would cause extreme
dilution to any person or group who would attempt to acquire a significant
interest in Maverick without advance approval of our Board of Directors.
Moreover, Delaware law would impose restrictions on mergers and other business
combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common
stock.

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY

Identify And Enter New Markets

We continually seek and make acquisitions and capital expenditures to enter new
markets, as evidenced by our entry into the structural tube market in 1994, the
addition of our large diameter pipe and tube mill at our Hickman, Arkansas
facility and our acquisitions of Prudential, Precision, SeaCAT and Republic
Conduit. We intend to seek additional opportunities to expand our business to
new markets where we believe we can compete effectively and profitably.

Increase Market Share By Expanding Our Existing Product Lines

We believe that the expansion of our product lines in both the energy and
industrial segments of our business will allow us to increase our market share
by capitalizing on our existing customer relationships to market additional
products. The construction and equipping of our large diameter pipe and tube
mill at the Hickman, Arkansas facility, and the acquisitions of Precision,
SeaCAT and Republic Conduit are examples of this strategy.

                                       11
<PAGE>

Continually Improve The Efficiency Of Our Manufacturing Process

We intend to continue to pursue our objective of being a low-cost, high-volume
producer of quality steel tubular products by seeking to:

         -        maintain product manufacturing cost controls;

         -        maximize production yields from raw materials;

         -        invest capital to lower costs and improve quality;

         -        minimize unit production costs through effective utilization
                  of plant capacity and

         -        minimize freight costs.

Deliver Quality Products And Service To Our Customers

We believe we have achieved an excellent reputation with our existing customers.
We intend to continue to build long-term customer relationships with new and
existing customers by seeking to:

         -        offer broad-based product lines;

         -        focus on product availability;

         -        deliver competitively priced quality products and

         -        provide a high level of customer support before and after the
                  sale.

THE ENERGY PIPE INDUSTRY

General

The energy pipe industry produces three principal classes of products: OCTG,
line pipe and coiled pipe. OCTG consists of drill pipe, production casing,
surface casing and production tubing. Drill pipe is used and may be reused to
drill wells. Production casing forms the structural wall in oil and gas wells to
provide support and prevent caving during drilling operations and is generally
not removed after it has been installed in a well. Surface casing is used to
protect water-bearing formations during the drilling of a well. Production
tubing is placed within the casing and is used to convey oil and natural gas to
the surface and may be replaced during the life of a producing well.

Manufacturers produce OCTG in numerous sizes, weights, grades and end finishes.
We believe most OCTG is produced to American Petroleum Institute and Canadian
Standard Association specifications. The grade of pipe used in a particular
application depends on technical requirements for strength, corrosion resistance
and other performance qualities. OCTG are generally classified into groupings of
"carbon" and "alloy" grades. Carbon grades of OCTG have yield strength levels of
75,000 pounds per square inch or less and are generally used in oil and natural
gas wells drilled to depths less than 8,000 feet. Alloy grades of OCTG have
yield strength levels of 75,000 pounds per square inch or more and are generally
used in oil and natural gas wells drilled to depths in excess of 8,000 feet, or
for high temperature wells, highly corrosive wells or critical applications.

Carbon and alloy grades of OCTG are available from both electric resistance
welded and seamless pipe producers. Electric resistance welded pipe, that is
sometimes referred to as welded pipe, is produced by processing flat rolled
steel into strips that are cold-formed, welded, heat-treated or seam-annealed
and end-finished with threads and couplings. Seamless products are produced by
individually heating and piercing solid steel billets into pipe and then
end-finishing such pipe into OCTG in a manner similar to electric resistance
welded pipe.

Based on published industry statistics, electric resistance welded products,
which did not have significant market penetration prior to the mid-1970's, now
account for approximately half of the tonnage of domestic

                                       12
<PAGE>

OCTG consumed annually. We believe electric resistance welded products have
captured a significant majority of the carbon grade OCTG market, while seamless
products retain a significant majority of the alloy grade OCTG market. We also
believe further significant market penetration of welded products will depend
upon increased market acceptance of welded products and technological advances
in the types of raw materials and equipment utilized in the electric resistance
welding process.

Line pipe products are used for surface production flow lines, gathering systems
and pipeline transportation and distribution systems for oil, natural gas and
other fluids. Line pipe is produced in both welded and seamless form. Line pipe
markets are dependent not only on the factors that influence the OCTG market,
but also on the level of pipe line construction activity, line pipe replacement
requirements, new residential construction and utility purchasing programs.

Coiled down-hole tubing is primarily used to service existing oil and gas wells
by reestablishing well production and extending well life. Coiled line pipe is a
relatively new application of technology in offshore, sub-sea applications where
continuous lengths of steel pipe are used as flow lines and umbilical lines
sheathing control cables. Coiled line pipe is a more cost effective application
compared to traditional jointed line pipe as it allows for much more rapid
installation, which reduces overall costs. Coiled tubing is manufactured in the
same manner as described above with the exception of the end-finishing process.
The coiled tubing is then loaded onto reels and shipped to our customers.

Factors That Affect the Energy Market

The OCTG market is affected by several factors, the most significant being the
number of oil and natural gas wells being drilled. The level of drilling
activity is largely a function of current prices for oil and natural gas and the
industry's future price expectations. The prices are determined by various
supply and demand factors, such as consumption levels, current inventory levels,
weather, import levels, production economics and future expectations. The
following chart shows the price of oil and natural gas since the fourth quarter
of 1997:

The most commonly cited indicator of the level of drilling activity is the Baker
Hughes rig count, which represents the number of active oil and natural gas rigs
currently being operated. Since July 1987, the

Another indicator of the demand for our energy products is the level of industry
inventories maintained by manufacturers, distributors and end-users. When
customers draw-down on inventory rather than purchase new products, the overall
demand for new production goes down. Conversely, increases in inventory levels
for our customers, has a positive effect on the demand for new production.
Inventory levels in Canada and

                                       14
<PAGE>
for coiled pipe are less meaningful because Canadian and coiled pipe
distributors do not generally hold significant amounts of inventory. Inventory
levels do not affect the production of coiled tubing as this product is
manufactured to the end-users' specifications for a specific project.

The change in industry inventory levels during calendar year 2003 was
negligible. For calendar years 2002 and 2001, declining industry inventory
levels satisfied 9.3% and 0.5%, respectively of the U.S. OCTG consumption.

The amount of imported products from foreign producers also significantly
affects the North American OCTG market. High levels of imports reduce the volume
sold by North American producers and tend to suppress selling prices. We believe
North American import levels are affected by, among other things, overall world
demand for OCTG, the trade practices of and government subsidies to foreign
producers and the presence or absence of governmentally imposed trade
restrictions in the U.S. and Canada. See "Risk Factors" for a discussion of
trade restrictions that have affected imports.

Our Energy Products

We manufacture OCTG used for production tubing, production casing and surface
casing, and we also manufacture line pipe. We do not make drill pipe. We began
selling coiled steel pipe for use in down-hole well servicing and line pipe
applications with our acquisition of Precision on March 29, 2002 and further
expanded our coiled steel pipe capabilities with the acquisition of SeaCAT on
February 28, 2003. We produce all of our OCTG, line pipe and coiled tubing
products (with the exception of SeaCAT) using only the electric resistance
welding process. SeaCAT produces a portion of their product using a laser weld
technique.

Prudential provides tolling services, which is the conversion of steel to
tubular products owned by our competitors. While tolling only comprises a small
portion of our business, it provides additional tons, which optimizes mill
operations and improves fixed cost absorption. Prudential tolling tons for the
years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were 27,811, 15,535 and 23,919,
respectively. Net sales associated with tolling tons for the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $3.9 million, $2.1 million and $5.6
million, respectively.

Our energy products meet or exceed the applicable standards as required by the
American Petroleum Institute and Canadian Standards Association. In addition,
similar to other producers, we manufacture OCTG in custom or proprietary grades.
We design and engineer our custom and proprietary OCTG to be used in similar
applications as products meeting or exceeding American Petroleum Institute and
Canadian Standards Association standards and to provide performance features
comparable to products meeting those

                                       15
<PAGE>

standards. We warrant our American Petroleum Institute and Canadian Standards
Association casing and tubing to be free of defects in material or workmanship
in accordance with the applicable specifications. In addition, we warrant our
proprietary grade products to be free of defects in accordance with our
published standards. We have not incurred significant costs in connection with
these warranties.

We manufacture finished goods in both carbon and alloy steel grades. Virtually
all of our products are fully completed or "end-finished" at our facilities. In
contrast, some of our competitors outsource the end-finishing of their products,
thus adding to their freight and handling costs, or do not end-finish their
products at all. The end-finish process includes, as appropriate, upsetting,
beveling, threading, pressure testing and the application of couplings. Our
fully finished OCTG are ready to be installed in oil or natural gas wells. By
end-finishing our products, we are better able to control quality, cost and
service to customers. Three of our U.S. energy facilities provide heat-treatment
capabilities necessary for the production of alloy grade pipe. Our alloy grade
tubing and casing products accounted for 19%, 21% and 16% of the tons of energy
products we sold in calendar 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Carbon grade
tubing and casing accounted for the balance of these tons.

We manufacture OCTG and line pipe ranging in size from 1 1/2" to 16" in outside
diameter. Excluding drill pipe, which we do not manufacture, approximately 80%
of the total OCTG and line pipe tonnage produced in the western hemisphere in
calendar 2003 fell into this size range.

Marketing

We sell OCTG and line pipe primarily throughout the United States and Canada to
numerous distributors, which then resell the pipe to major and independent oil
and natural gas production, gathering and pipeline companies. Our marketing
philosophy emphasizes delivering competitively priced, quality products while
providing a high level of service to our customers. With the addition of our
large diameter facility and the acquisition of Precision, we market ourselves as
a broad line supplier of OCTG and line pipe products. We maintain inventories of
finished goods housed at our production facilities and at field locations close
to the areas of drilling activity, which allows us to provide timely delivery of
our products.

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, our backlog orders (including bill and hold
orders not yet shipped) for energy pipe products were approximately $137.7
million and $78.0 million, respectively. We expect to fill all of the backlog
orders as of December 31, 2003 by the end of calendar 2004. We consider only
$3.0 million and $2.6 million of our backlog orders, respectively, to be firm as
remaining orders may generally be cancelled without penalty. Our backlog orders,
as of any particular date, may not be indicative of our actual operating results
for any period. We cannot give any assurance that the amount of backlog at any
particular date will ultimately be realized.

Manufacturing

We manufacture OCTG and line pipe products at our facilities in Hickman,
Arkansas; Conroe, Texas; Counce, Tennessee and Calgary, Alberta. We began full
production of all of our products at our large diameter facility adjacent to our
Hickman, Arkansas facilities, during calendar year 2001. We manufacture coiled
down-hole tubing and coiled line pipe at our facilities in Houston, Texas. The
facilities are strategically located to serve the energy markets in the United
States and Canada. We can currently produce at a consolidated maximum rate of
approximately 2,100,000 tons of finished products per year with approximately
1,254,000 tons currently dedicated to energy-related products. We operated our
energy facilities at a capacity utilization of approximately 70% and 48% during
calendar 2003 and 2002, respectively.

In order to control our manufacturing costs, we attempt to maximize production
yields from purchased steel and reduce unit labor costs. We control labor costs
by automating some of our activities and by seeking to optimize product
throughput and scheduling. Generally, we maintain an innovative compensation
plan, whereby the employees of our facilities who achieve certain performance
based criteria receive quarterly bonuses. In addition, some employees are
eligible to receive annual profitability bonuses based on our

                                       16
<PAGE>

consolidated earnings. The maximum achievable incentives and bonuses for
manufacturing employees range from 15% to 40% of an employee's salary and wages.

During calendar 2003, 2002 and 2001, we spent $7.3 million, $15.3 million and
$13.3 million, respectively, on new capital equipment for our existing energy
facilities. In 2003, we used $3.9 million for the installation of a new slitter
in Arkansas. In 2002, we used $6.1 million for the installation of equipment
relocated from our Longview, Washington, facility to our large diameter pipe and
tubing facility in Hickman, Arkansas; $3.5 million for the installation of the
Longview slitter in our Calgary, Alberta, facility, and $13.2 million for other
equipment and system upgrades. Capital expenditures related to the large
diameter pipe and tubing facility in Hickman, Arkansas were approximately $5.0
million during calendar 2001. Our capital budget for our energy facilities for
calendar 2004 is $15.6 million. We expect these capital expenditures to result
in manufacturing cost savings, quality improvements, expansion of our production
capabilities, maintaining production capabilities and expanding our product
lines.

Competition

The suppliers of OCTG and line pipe products face a highly competitive market.
We believe the principal competitive factors affecting our business are price,
quality, delivery, availability and service. We believe we enjoy an excellent
reputation for quality products and outstanding customer service. We compete
with several North American and numerous foreign producers of oil country
tubular goods, some of which have greater financial resources than we do. In the
OCTG market, our more significant U.S. competitors are Lone Star Steel Company,
Newport Steel Company and IPSCO Tubular, Inc., which produce electric resistance
welded pipe, and United States Steel Corporation and V&M Star Tubular
Corporation, which primarily produce seamless pipe. Our most significant
Canadian competitor is IPSCO Tubular, Inc., which produces electric resistance
welded pipe. We also compete in the line pipe market with these same
competitors, and with foreign producers of line pipe, most of which are units of
large foreign steel makers. Our most significant coiled down-hole tubing and
line pipe competitor is Quality Tubing, Inc.

During calendar years 2003, 2002 and 2001, we estimate domestic OCTG market
penetration of tons consumed by imports into the U.S. was 28.8%, 21.7% and
30.2%, respectively. During calendar years 2003, 2002 and 2001, we estimate
domestic OCTG market penetration of tons consumed by imports into Canada was
44.1%, 32.4% and 29.3%, respectively.

THE INDUSTRIAL INDUSTRY

General

Manufacturers in the industrial industry produce a wide variety of tubing and
pipe products used for a number of applications. The number of different
products produced for the industrial market is considerably larger than that
produced for the OCTG market.

We manufacture structural tubing products, electrical conduit, standard pipe and
piling products. Our structural tubing products are used in the following
applications:

         -        construction, including handrails, building columns and bridge
                  frames;

         -        transportation, including boat trailers;

         -        agricultural, including farm implement components and tillage
                  equipment;

         -        material handling, including storage rack systems and
                  conveying systems support and

         -        recreational, including exercise equipment.

In addition, structural tubing is an attractive alternative to other structural
steel forms, such as I-beams and H-beams. Structural tubing products offer
strength and other product characteristics similar to beams, but with less steel
content, resulting in lower costs to the end-user in many applications.


                                       17
<PAGE>
We believe demand for structural tubing is influenced primarily by the level of
general economic activity in North America. We estimate domestic consumption of
structural tubing during calendar years 2003, 2002 and 2001 was 1.9 million, 1.7
million and 2.0 million tons, respectively.

Electrical conduit is primarily used as sheathing for electrical and computer
wiring in industrial, commercial and institutional construction referred to as
non-residential construction. As such, electrical conduit demand is primarily
influenced by changes in non-residential construction expenditures. We estimate
domestic consumption of electrical conduit during calendar years 2003, 2002 and
2001 was 0.5 million, 0.6 million and 0.6 million tons, respectively. In recent
years, electrical conduit has faced new competition from plastic pipe in certain
applications.

Standard pipe products are used in industrial applications such as steam, water,
air and gas lines, and plumbing and heating. We manufacture standard pipe in the
same manner as we manufacture structural tubing. As with structural tubing, we
believe demand for standard pipe is influenced primarily by the level of general
economic activity in North America. We estimate domestic consumption of standard
pipe during calendar years 2003, 2002 and 2001 was 2.4 million, 2.5 million and
2.8 million tons, respectively. In recent years, standard pipe has faced new
competition from plastic pipe in certain applications.

Structural tubing, standard pipe and electrical conduit are produced by
processing flat rolled steel into strips, which are cold-formed and welded. The
machinery and equipment used for the manufacture of structural tubing, standard
pipe and electrical conduit products are similar to that used for the
manufacture of OCTG. Structural tubing, standard pipe and electrical conduit are
not, however, subject to the same degree of tolerances as are OCTG, which
results in lower production costs related to testing and inspection than for
OCTG. Moreover, structural tubing, standard pipe and electrical conduit does not
require end-finishing, flash elimination for the welding process or
seam-annealing. Because less finishing is required of structural tubing,
standard pipe and electrical conduit products as compared to OCTG, the average
cost per ton to convert steel into industrial products is slightly less than
OCTG.

Our Products

We can produce square, rectangular and round structural tubing, standard pipe
and electrical conduit at our facilities in sizes ranging from 1/2" to 16"
square and the equivalent sizes in rectangular and round tubing. Our products
range from .120 to .500 inches in thickness. The annual capacity at our
structural, standard pipe and electrical conduit facilities is approximately
846,000 tons. During calendar 2003 and 2002, we were operating at approximately
47% and 56%, respectively, of our structural capacity.

Marketing

The structural tubing, standard pipe and electrical conduit markets are somewhat
regional in nature, primarily because order sizes are smaller and lead-time
requirements are shorter than for OCTG. We currently sell principally to
distributors, but since 1997, we significantly increased our sales to large
end-user customers. As in the case of OCTG, our marketing strategy emphasizes
delivering competitively priced, quality products while providing a high level
of service to our customers. In addition, we expect our marketing ability will
be enhanced by the addition of a larger diameter pipe and tubing facility and
the acquisition of Republic Conduit. Because the application of structural
tubing, standard pipe products and electrical conduit is diverse, and a short
lead-time is required for customer satisfaction, we maintain inventory levels,
in terms of months of supply, comparable to those for OCTG. This finished goods
inventory will consist of a larger number of items than in the case of OCTG. We
use experienced manufacturing representatives in our sales efforts.

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, our backlog of orders for structural tubing,
electrical conduit and standard pipe were $15.6 million and $8.2 million,
respectively. We expect to fill all of the backlog orders as of December 31,
2003 by the end of calendar 2004. We do not consider any of our backlog orders
to be firm as they may generally be cancelled without penalty. Our backlog
orders as of any particular date may not be indicative of our actual operating
results for any fiscal period. We cannot give any assurance that the amount of
backlog at any given time ultimately will be realized.

Manufacturing

We are currently producing structural square and rectangular shaped tubing
products in our structural tube and large diameter facilities located in
Hickman, Arkansas and in Calgary, Alberta. We are also currently producing
structural round tubing products and standard pipe at our Hickman, Arkansas,
Conroe, Texas, Counce, Tennessee and Elyria, Ohio facilities.

Based upon historical product relationships and our assumptions about the U.S.
market, we estimate the sizes of structural tubing products we currently are
capable of manufacturing represent 97% of the domestic tonnage of all sizes of
domestic structural tubing products consumed.

We believe the types of standard pipe products we are capable of manufacturing
represent approximately 81% of the domestic tonnage of all types of the U.S.
standard pipe products consumed.

We believe the types of electrical conduit we are capable of manufacturing
represent approximately 100% of the domestic tonnage of all types of the U.S.
electrical conduit products consumed.

Consistent with our manufacturing strategy for OCTG production, we believe we
are a low-cost, high-volume producer of quality structural tubing, standard pipe
products and electrical conduit. We believe the application of our efficient
manufacturing process originally developed for the production of OCTG, the labor
costs and the strategic location of our facilities provide a conversion cost
advantage relative to the majority of existing domestic structural tubing and
standard pipe manufacturers.

During calendar 2003, 2002 and 2001, we spent $6.4 million, $3.8 million and
$6.8 million, respectively, on additional equipment at our industrial
facilities. Our capital budget for our industrial facilities for calendar 2004
is $2.6 million. We expect these capital expenditures to result in manufacturing
cost savings and quality improvements. Capital expenditures related to our
facility in Calgary, Alberta is included in the energy pipe industry section.
Although the Calgary, Alberta facility manufactures industrial products, this
facility is primarily energy product focused and only produces industrial
products to fill out mill capacity.

Competition

Although a significant market for structural tubing is located within a 400-mile
radius of our Hickman, Arkansas structural facility, no other major structural
tubing facility is currently located within this area. Non-domestic competitors,
primarily from Canada, represented 21.4%, 22.5% and 21.8% of total domestic
sales of structural tubing in calendar years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
We compete primarily

                                       19
<PAGE>

against several domestic and numerous foreign producers of structural tubing.
Our more significant structural tube competitors are Bull Moose Tube
Corporation, Hanna Steel Corporation, Atlas Tube Inc., Independence Tube
Corporation and Copperweld.

A significant market for standard pipe also exists. Foreign competition has had
a large presence in the standard pipe market. Foreign competition represented
approximately 33.6%, 37.4% and 35.6% of total domestic sales of standard pipe in
calendar years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Our more significant standard
pipe competitors are Wheatland Tube Company, U.S. Steel Corporation and IPSCO
Tubular, Inc.

We compete primarily against Allied Tube and Conduit, Wheatland Tube Company and
Western Tube and Conduit Corporation in the electrical conduit market. The
import and export markets for electrical conduit are limited by strong local
competition.

We believe the principal competitive factors affecting our structural tubing,
standard pipe and electrical conduit businesses are price, product availability,
delivery and service.

We believe we experience seasonal fluctuations in demand for our industrial
products. However, the timing of such fluctuations may differ from fluctuations
experienced in the OCTG market.

RAW MATERIALS

The majority of our steel purchases are completed at our headquarters in
Chesterfield, Missouri in order to optimize pricing, quality, availability and
delivery of our raw materials. During 2003, we consumed approximately 4.1% of
the total amount of hot rolled steel produced in North America. Accordingly, we
believe we are the largest purchaser of hot rolled steel in North America. We
maintain favorable working relationships with our steel suppliers and believe we
are treated favorably with respect to volume allocations and deliveries. We
presently purchase the majority of our steel from several suppliers, with
approximately 81% of consolidated purchases made from Nucor Corporation,
Tuscaloosa Steel Corp., International Steel Group and IPSCO Steel, Inc. Nucor's
mill in Hickman, Arkansas is directly connected by rail to our Hickman
facilities, thus eliminating our freight costs for raw materials purchased from
Nucor. Unlike our Hickman facilities, our facilities in Houston, Texas; Conroe,
Texas; Elyria, Ohio; Counce, Tennessee; Ferndale, Michigan; Cedar Springs,
Georgia and Calgary, Alberta are not directly connected by rail to our primary
steel suppliers. To date, we have not experienced any significant disruption in
our supply of raw materials. Our supplies, however, have implemented
unprecedented scrap purchases that will significantly increase our cost of
steel. See "Risk Factors -- Increase in steel prices, which would increase our
costs of manufacturing our products, would likely decrease our operating
profits." for further information.


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 29, 2002, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated March 21, 2002,
Maverick Tube L.P. completed the sale of our cold drawn tubular assets to
Pennsylvania Cold Drawn, LLC ("PCD") for $8.1 million, consisting of cash of
$1.2 million and the buyer's nine-year secured promissory note for $6.9 million.
During 2003, we restructured the buyer's promissory note in exchange for the
release of our guarantee of certain payment obligations and obtained additional
security including the buyer's personal guarantee and increased the outstanding
note obligation. As of December 31, 2003, we hold three notes totaling $9.5
million. We have not established reserves against these notes as we estimate the
collateral value of the equipment is adequate to cover losses, if any, we may
experience based upon an event of default.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). A
variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal
structure used for business purposes that does not have equity investors with
voting rights or has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial
resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46 requires a variable
interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a
majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or
entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns, or both. The
provisions of FIN 46 are required to be adopted the last day of the first
quarter of 2004.

If we are required to consolidate PCD's operations into ours, on March 31, 2004,
the Company may record a non-cash cumulative charge based on the adoption of FIN
46, in the range of approximately $1.0 to $2.0 million to recognize PCD's prior
net losses. This would be reported as a separate line item in the consolidated
statements of income, net of tax. The charge will be based on the fair value of
the net assets of PCD.
