INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Rowan Companies, Inc. Savings and Investment Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Rowan Companies, Inc. Savings and Investment Plan (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
2002 and 2001 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following brief description of the Rowan Companies, Inc. Savings and
Investment Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general informational
purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more
complete information.
GENERAL - The Plan is a defined contribution, individual account 401(k)
plan covering substantially all drilling and aviation employees of Rowan
Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Rowan").
PARTICIPATION - Employees are eligible to enter the Plan on the January 1
or July 1 immediately following the completion of 1,000 hours of service
in the 12-month period beginning on the employee's date of hire and ending
on the anniversary of such date.
FUNDING - Under the Plan, participants may make basic contributions of up
to 6% and additional contributions of up to 14% of their regular
compensation on a before-tax basis. Rowan makes a matching contribution
equal to 50% of a participant's basic contribution.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS - The assets of the Plan are held in a master trust and
managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company, the Trustee of the Plan (the
"Trustee"). Plan participants direct the investment of their accounts
among the Plan's investment options and may, at their sole discretion,
transfer amounts between such options, including the Rowan Companies
Unitized Stock Fund, at any time.
EXPENSES - Participants' accounts are charged with investment advisory and
other fees by the Trustee. Other expenses of administering the Plan and
master trust are borne by the Plan or by Rowan, at its discretion.
VESTING PROVISIONS - Participants are 100% vested at all times in their
own contributions, plus any earnings accrued thereon, and achieve 100%
vesting in employer matching contributions, plus any earnings thereon,
after three years or more of qualified service.
Participants at age 60 are entitled to 100% of all contributions, plus any
earnings accrued thereon. Upon death or permanent disability, a
participant, or his beneficiary, will be entitled to 100% of all
contributions, plus any earnings accrued thereon.
DISTRIBUTIONS - Participants can obtain lump-sum or installment
distributions of vested balances upon termination of employment,
retirement, disability or death. Other hardship withdrawals can be
obtained under certain conditions. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, Plan
assets included approximately $25,000 and $13,000, respectively, of
distributions payable to former Plan participants.
-4-
FORFEITURES - Upon termination of employment, participants' nonvested
balances are forfeited. Such forfeitures can be applied to reduce employer
contributions or Plan administrative expenses otherwise payable by Rowan.
During 2002 and 2001, Rowan utilized approximately $121,000 and $57,000,
respectively, of employee forfeitures for employer contributions and Plan
administrative expenses. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, Plan assets
included approximately $20,000 and $105,000, respectively, of nonvested
forfeited accounts.
PLAN TERMINATION - Although it has not expressed any intention to do so,
Rowan may terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In the event the Plan is
terminated, each participant shall be entitled to 100% of all
contributions, plus any earnings accrued thereon, as of the date of
termination.
PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS - The investment by the Trustee of Plan
contributions into mutual funds managed by an affiliate of the Trustee are
party-in-interest transactions, and the related management fees are
deducted from investment earnings. Rowan is also a party-in-interest.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The financial statements are prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting.
INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION - The Plan's investments are
stated at fair value as determined by quoted market prices. Purchases and
sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The net increase (decrease) in fair
value of investments consists of the net change in unrealized gains
(losses) in fair values and realized gains (losses) upon the sale of
investment securities. The net change in unrealized gains (losses) and
realized gains (losses) upon sale are determined using fair values as of
the beginning of the year or the purchase price if acquired during the
year.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - Benefits are recorded when paid.
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior
year's financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
3. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Plan provides for various investments in common stock and registered
investment companies. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to
various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility
risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment
securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of
investment securities will occur in the near term.

4. INVESTMENT IN ROWAN MASTER TRUST
The Master Trust for Rowan Companies and Affiliates Defined Contribution
Plans (the "Trust") commingles, for investment and administrative
purposes, Plan assets with those of another plan sponsored by a Rowan
subsidiary. The Trustee maintains supporting records for the purpose of
allocating investment gains or losses to the participating plans. The
investment accounts of the Trust are valued at fair value at the end of
each trading day based upon quoted market prices. Net investment gains or
losses for each day are allocated by the Trustee to each participating
plan based on the plans' relative interest in the investment units of the
Trust. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Trust held the following
investments, at fair value:
2002 2001
Amount % Amount %
------------ ---- ------------ ----
Investments - at fair value:
Rowan Companies Unitized Stock Fund $ 11,362,999 14% $ 10,321,204 14%

------------ ------------
Total investments $ 79,718,682 100% $ 75,988,814 100%
============ ============
Investment income (loss) for the Trust for the years ended December 31,
2002 and 2001 was as follows:
2002 2001
Investment income (loss):
Increase (decrease) in fair value of investments:
Rowan Companies Unitized Stock Fund $ 2,091,295 $ (982,245)
Registered Investment Companies (10,078,069) (9,144,396)
Interest and dividends 1,560,180 2,095,121
------------- -------------
Net investment income (loss) $ (6,426,594) $ (8,031,520)
============= =============
The Plan's interest in the Trust's total investment units was
approximately 58% at December 31, 2002 and 56% at December 31, 2001, with
the balance attributed to the other Rowan-sponsored plan.
5. TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed Rowan by a letter
dated October 22, 1996, that the Plan and related trust are designed in
accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC").
Though the Plan has been amended since that date, the Plan administrator
and Rowan believe that the Plan continues to be designed and is currently
being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
A request for a new determination letter has been made.
