INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Plan Administrator of the
Chicago Bridge & Iron Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Chicago Bridge & Iron Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2002,
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for
the year 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 audit. The statement of net assets available
for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2001 was audited by other auditors
who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on
that statement in their report, dated May 30, 2002.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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 the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 2002
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets
(Held at Year End) as of December 31, 2002 and Nonexempt Transactions for the
year ended December 31, 2002 are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the basic 2002 financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CHICAGO BRIDGE & IRON SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES
DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN AND INVESTMENT PROGRAM

    The following describes the major provisions of the Chicago Bridge & Iron
    Savings Plan (the "Plan") and provides only general information.
    Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
    description of the Plan's provisions.

    GENERAL--The Plan is a defined contribution plan in which designated
    employees of Chicago Bridge & Iron Company and certain of its wholly owned
    subsidiaries (the "Company") are eligible to participate. The Plan is
    subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
    1974 ("ERISA").

    T. Rowe Price Trust Company (the "Trustee") serves as trustee.  The
    record keeper for the Plan, under a contract with the Company, is T. Rowe
    Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. ("RPS").

    MERGERS INTO PLAN--Effective January 1, 2002, the Morse Construction Group
    division of the Rock-Mo 401(k) Plan merged into this plan. Participant
    account balances of $629,122 were transferred to the Plan during 2002.

    Effective October 3, 2002, the CB&I Shop Employees 401(k) Plan merged into
    this Plan. Participant account balances of $4,209,491 were transferred to
    the Plan during 2002.

    Effective December 31, 2000, the Howe-Baker Engineers, Inc. Employees'
    Profit-Sharing 401(k) Plan, Matrix Engineering, Inc. Savings Plan, A&B
    Buildings, Inc. Savings Plan and Callidus Technologies 401(k) Savings
    Plan ("Merged Plans"), merged into this Plan.

    PARTICIPANT AND COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS--The Plan is a combination
    profit-sharing and 401(k) voluntary salary deferral plan. Except as noted
    below, the Company automatically contributes 5% of annual pay (including
    overtime and incentive compensation) and may contribute up to 12% depending
    on Company performance and IRS limits on compensation. The Company
    contribution is applicable for each eligible participant following the end
    of the Plan year for which the contribution is made. Participants may
    contribute amounts on a pretax deferred basis from a minimum of 1% to a
    maximum of 75% of compensation subject to the dollar limits set by the IRS,
    or lower percentage limits set by the Company in advance of a given Plan
    year. Participants may elect to change their contribution percentages at any
    time in advance of the next payroll period.

    The Company contributes a dollar-for-dollar match of the participants'
    annual 401(k) contributions, up to the first 3% of the compensation that the
    participant elects to contribute.

    For purposes of contributions, the following applies for participants
    covered by the merged plans:

    -   For participants who formerly participated in the Howe-Baker
        Engineers, Inc. Employees' Profit-Sharing 401(k) Plan, the Company
        contributes 1% of compensation.  Additionally the Company makes
        matching contributions of 50% of the first 4% of compensation, and
        may make additional discretionary contributions.  A discretionary
        contribution of $1,418,966 was made for the Plan year ended December
        31, 2002.

                                      -4-

    -   For participants who formerly participated in the Matrix Engineering,
        Inc. Savings Plan or the A&B Builders, Inc. Savings Plan, the Company
        makes matching contributions of 50% of the first 6% of compensation, and
        may make discretionary contributions as determined each year. There were
        no discretionary contributions during the year.

    -   For participants who formerly participated in the Callidus Technologies
        401(k) Savings Plan, the Company automatically contributes 3% of annual
        pay (including overtime and incentive compensation) and may contribute
        up to 6% depending on Company performance and IRS limits on
        compensation; makes matching contributions of 100% of the first 3% of
        compensation; and may make discretionary Company contributions as
        determined each year. A discretionary contribution of $316,805 was made
        for the Plan year ended December 31, 2002.

    -   For participants who formerly participated in the CB&I Shop Employees
        401(k) Plan, which merged with the Plan during 2002, the Company makes
        matching contributions of 100% up to $0.60 per hour for total hours
        worked for Clive and Warren employees and $0.70 per hour up to October
        31, 2002 and $0.75 per hour beginning November 1, 2002 for total hours
        worked for Provo employees.

    -   For participants employed by Morse Construction Group who formerly
        participated in the Rock-Mo 401(k) Plan, the Company makes matching
        contributions of 100% of the first 3% of compensation; and may make
        discretionary Company contributions as determined each year. No
        discretionary contribution was made for the Plan year ended December 31,
        2002.

    PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS--Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan
    participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
    contribution, Company contributions, and allocation of investment earnings
    or losses. Allocations are based on account balances. The benefit to which a
    participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
    participant's vested account.

    INVESTMENT OPTIONS--Participants direct the investment of their account
    balances into any or all of a number of investment options which include
    mutual funds investing in equities (including the TradeLink investment
    account investing in mutual funds beyond the Trustee's family of funds) a
    company stock fund (which invests in the common stock of Chicago Bridge &
    Iron Company, N.V.), an income fund investing in bonds, stable value fund,
    and a money market fund.

    The Plan's investments in the common stock of Placer Dome, Inc. and
    Mississippi Chemical Corp. result from prior plan mergers and no future
    investment is permitted in those investments.

    VESTING--Company matching contributions vest 100% after three years and the
    Company's annual contributions vest 100% after five years of service with
    the Company. Participants who terminate their participation in the Plan due
    to retirement, disability, death or work force reduction are granted full
    vesting in Company contributions.

    For participants formerly included in the CB&I Shop Employee 401(k) Plan,
    Company matching contributions prior to 2002 vest over a five-year
    cliff-vesting schedule. Company contributions in 2002 vest over a three-year
    cliff-vesting schedule.

    PARTICIPANT LOANS--Participants may borrow up to 50% of their vested account
    balances, up to $50,000, with a minimum loan amount of $1,000. No more than
    one loan may be outstanding from a participant's account at any time. Loans
    are secured by the balance in the participant's account, bear interest at
    the prime rate plus 1% and are repayable over a period not to exceed five
    years, except for principal residence loans, which are repayable over a
    period not to exceed fifteen years. Any amount

                                      -5-

    borrowed is deducted pro rata from the funds in which the participant
    account is invested. Repayments of principal and interest are credited to
    the funds in which the participant's deferrals are invested.

    PAYMENT OF BENEFITS--Upon termination of employment, participants may
    receive a lump-sum payment of their account balances, subject to the vesting
    provisions described above. Other payment forms are available to certain
    participants for accounts existing prior to January 1, 1997.

    FORFEITURES--Forfeited accounts, representing the unvested portion of the
    Company's contributions, were approximately $420,000 and $179,000 as of
    December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These balances will be used to
    reduce future Company contributions.

2.  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    BASIS OF ACCOUNTING--The accompanying financial statements of the Plan were
    prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting
    principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

    USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
    GAAP 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. The Plan utilizes various investment instruments.
    Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as
    interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. 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 and that such changes could materially affect the amounts
    reported in the financial statements.

    INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION--Investments are stated at fair
    value, except for investments in the Stable Value Fund, which is stated at
    contract value (which includes accrued interest). Mutual funds are valued at
    quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by
    the Plan at year-end. Participant loans are stated at cost plus accrued
    interest.

    The T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund is a common and collective trust
    ("CCT"). The Plan owns shares in this CCT, which, in turn, holds shares in
    the underlying securities, which includes guaranteed investment contracts.
    The fund provides for benefit-responsive withdrawals at contract value. The
    average yield for the CCT was approximately 5.63% for the year ended
    December 31, 2002. The crediting interest rate for the CCT was approximately
    4.85% and 5.44% at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

    Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis.
    Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded
    on the ex-dividend date.

    NET DEPRECIATION IN FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS--Net realized and unrealized
    depreciation is recorded in the accompanying statement of changes in net
    assets available for benefits as net depreciation in fair value of
    investments.

    ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES--Trustee fees are paid by the Plan. Investment
    management fees, agent fees and brokerage commissions are paid by the Plan
    and are included as a reduction of the return earned on each fund. Other
    outside professional, administrative services are paid or provided by the
    Company.

                                      -6-

    PAYMENT OF BENEFITS--Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon
    distribution. There were no amounts allocated to accounts of persons who
    have elected to withdraw from the plan but have not yet been paid at
    December 31, 2002 and 2001.

4.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    All of the investment fund options are managed by T. Rowe Price
    Associates, Inc. ("Associates") an affiliate of the Trustee, except for
    the Stable Value Fund, Equity Index Trust Fund, and the International
    Stock Fund.  The Stable Value Fund ("CCT") and the Equity Index Trust
    Fund are managed by the Trustee.  The International Stock Fund is managed
    by Rowe Price-Fleming International, Inc., a joint venture between
    Associates and Robert Fleming Holdings Ltd. of London.

    At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Plan held 127,900.120 and 122,923.860
    units (or shares), of Chicago Bridge & Iron Company, N.V. ("CB&I N.V."),
    the Plan's sponsor, with a cost basis of $3,862,584 and $1,545,496,
    respectively.  During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Plan recorded
    dividend income from the CB&I N.V. stock of $29,902.

5.  PLAN TERMINATION

    Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
    under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate
    the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan
    termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts
    regardless of the period of service.

6.  TAX STATUS

    The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
    letter, dated May 21, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed in
    accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (the
    "Code"). The plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the
    Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the
    applicable requirements of the Code. Accordingly, no provision for income
    taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

7.  NONEXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

    During the plan year ended December 31, 2002, there was a deemed loan made
    to the Company when the employees' 401(k) contributions were not remitted to
    the Plan on a timely basis. The Company subsequently remitted the
    contributions to the Plan and repaid the Plan for the interest incurred on
    the loan. The interest was calculated using the highest rate earned by the
    plan assets during 2002 until the contribution was remitted to the Plan.
