NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which other than the restatement adjustments described in Note 12, consist only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the results of the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000, and March 31, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company's 2000 First Quarter Report on Form 10-Q.

2. The $.07 cash dividend declared in December, 1999, was paid March 1, 2000. On March 1, 2000, a cash dividend of $.07 per share was declared for shareholders of record on May 15, 2000, payable June 1, 2000.

3. Inventories consist of materials and supplies.

4. Income from investments includes $5,996,000 and $7,750,000 after-tax gains from sales of available-for-sale securities during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2000, respectively. After-tax gains from security sales were $71,000 and $-0- for the same periods in fiscal 1999. Also included in income from investments for the first six months of fiscal 2000 were gains related to a non-monetary dividend ($9,509,000) and a non-monetary gain ($719,000) on the conversion of shares of common stock of a Company investee pursuant to that investee being acquired. Net income from these two transactions was approximately $6.3 million ($0.13 per diluted share).

5. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities, which excludes those accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company's investment in securities accounted for under the equity method is $43,651,000.

7. Notes Payable and Long-term Debt -

At March 31, 2000, the Company had committed bank lines of credit totaling $110 million; $60 million may be borrowed through May 2000, and $50 million may be borrowed through October 2003. The Company anticipates that it will renew $35 million out of the $60 million in credit lines set to expire in May 2000. Collectively, the Company had $50 million in outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit totaling $7.5 million at March 31, 2000. The average rate on the borrowings at March 31, 2000, was 5.38 percent, including the estimated effect of an interest rate swap described below.

Concurrent with a $50 million borrowing under one of its committed facilities, the Company has entered into a 5-year, $50 million interest rate swap, which closely correlates with the terms and maturity of the facility. The swap effectively fixes the interest rate on this facility at 5.38% for the entire 5 year term of the note.

8. Earnings per Share -

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock.

A reconciliation of the weighted-average common shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis is as follows:

                                    Three Months Ended         Six Months Ended

                                    ======       ======       ======       ======

Restricted stock of 180,000 shares at a weighted-average price of $37.73 and options to purchase 919,000 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $32.40 were outstanding at March 31, 2000, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share. Inclusion of these shares would be antidilutive, as the exercise prices of the options exceed the average market price of the common shares.

9. New Accounting Pronouncements -

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. This standard requires that all derivatives be recognized as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and that those instruments be measured at fair value. The Company has not yet determined what the effect of SFAS 133 will be on the earnings and the financial position of the Company.

10. Restricted Stock Awards -

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company issued to certain employees 10,000 shares of treasury stock as restricted stock awards under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company recognized unearned compensation of $248,000, which was the fair market value of the stock at the time of issuance. Treasury stock was reduced by the book value of the shares issued ($90,451) with the difference recognized as an increase in paid-in-capital. The unearned compensation is being amortized over a five-year period as compensation expense.

11. Segment Information -

The Company evaluates performance of its segments based upon operating profit or loss from operations before income taxes, which includes revenues from external and internal customers; operating costs; depreciation, depletion and amortization; dry holes and abandonments and taxes other than income taxes. Intersegment sales are accounted for in the same manner as sales to unaffiliated customers. Other includes investments in available-for-sale securities, equity owned investments, as well as corporate operations.

12. Restatement of Amounts Previously Reported -

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's financial statements as of and for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2000, the Company determined that the results of operations for the quarterly period ended December 31, 1999 and the year-to-date results of operations and financial position as of and for December 31, 1999, March 31, 2000, and June 30, 2000, required restatement. The restatements are the result of treating certain non-monetary investment transactions which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 as unrealized gains in other comprehensive income, when they should have been treated as realized gains in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. The impact of the restatement was to increase first quarter and year-to-date income from investments by $10,228,000 and net income by $6,341,000 ($0.13 per diluted share) with a corresponding reduction to other comprehensive income. All related amounts and disclosures herein reflect the results of this restatement. See Note 4 for additional discussion.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
MARCH 31, 2000

RISK FACTORS AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes and management's narrative analysis contained in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company's 2000 First Quarter Report on Form 10-Q and the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion of the effects of the restatement of the financial statements as of and for the six month period ended March 31, 2000. The Company's future operating results may be affected by various trends and factors, which are beyond the Company's control. These include, among other factors, fluctuations in natural gas and crude oil prices, expiration or termination of drilling contracts, currency exchange losses, changes in general economic conditions, rapid or unexpected changes in technologies and uncertain business conditions that affect the Company's businesses. Accordingly, past results and trends should not be used by investors to anticipate future results or trends.

With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed in Management's Discussion & Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions. The Company cautions that, while it believes such assumptions to be reasonable and makes them in good faith, assumed facts almost always vary from actual results. The differences between assumed facts and actual results can be material. The Company is including this cautionary statement to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. The factors identified in this cautionary statement are important factors (but not necessarily all important factors) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SECOND QUARTER 2000 VS SECOND QUARTER 1999

The Company reported net income of $19,273,000 ($0.39 per share) from revenues of $151,848,000 for the second quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared with net income of $7,352,000 ($0.15 per share) from revenues of $155,374,000 for the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 included $5,996,000 ($0.12 per share) from the sale of investment securities. There were no sales of investment securities in the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION

Exploration and Production reported operating profit of $12,445,000 for the second quarter compared with a loss of $6,270,000 for the same period of fiscal 1999. Oil and gas revenues increased to $34.1 million from $18.8 million.

HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
MARCH 31, 2000
(Continued)

Natural gas revenues increased $10.7 million, or 62 percent, due primarily to higher gas prices (50 percent) and natural gas volumes (9 percent). Oil revenues increased $4.6 million, or 286 percent, as oil prices more than doubled from the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Natural gas prices averaged $2.25 per mcf and $1.50 per mcf for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. Natural gas volumes averaged 136.6 mmcf/d and 125.2 mmcf/d, respectively. Crude oil prices averaged $27.33 per bbl and $11.21 per bbl for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. Crude oil volumes averaged 2,383 bbls/d and 1,687 bbls/d, respectively.

Exploration expenses increased in the quarter as the result of an increased exploration budget. Dry hole costs increased $1.7 million, depreciation and depletion increased $1.4 million and geophysical expense increased $0.7 million. Last year's second quarter was negatively impacted by an $8.9 million FAS 121 impairment charge.

The Company participated in an additional 12 wells during the second quarter, bringing the total wells drilled during the fiscal year to 41.

DOMESTIC DRILLING

Domestic Drilling's operating profit decreased $3.5 million, due primarily to lower margins in land operations, decrease in rig utilization in offshore operations (92 percent vs 98 percent), and a $0.7 million increase (9 percent) in depreciation. Also included in the second quarter operating profit was final earnings of $1.1 million from the Company's Jade construction project, compared with $1.9 million in the second quarter of 1999. Land rig utilization was 82 percent for the quarter compared with 74 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

The Company recently announced plans to add four new highly-mobile, medium-depth rigs to its domestic fleet in an improving domestic land rig market. These rigs should be available in fiscal 2001.

INTERNATIONAL DRILLING

International Drilling's operating profit decreased to $1.3 million from $9.1 million. Revenues decreased to $32.2 million from $49.9 million. The decrease in operating profit is due primarily to lower rig utilization in Venezuela, Colombia and Australia and lower dayrates in Venezuela and Colombia. International rig utilization averaged 45 percent during the second quarter and 56 percent during last year's second quarter.

OTHER

Other revenues increased approximately $11 million over last year, with $9.7 million due to gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities and $0.5 million due to an increase in interest income. Interest expense decreased to $0.8 million from $1.9 million because of a substantial reduction in short-term debt. Corporate general and administrative costs decreased to $3.3 million from $4.5 million, due primarily to significantly reduced aircraft maintenance expense and increased allocation to drilling operations as the result of increased rig activity.

The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 43 percent for the quarter compared to 38.5 percent for the second quarter of last year. The increase is due primarily to a larger proportion of income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions in the Company's international drilling operations. The effective tax rate of 43 percent for fiscal 2000 could increase slightly if projected operating results are not achieved.

SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 VS SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

The Company reported net income of $39,734,000 ($0.80 per share) from revenues of $301,429,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2000, compared with net income of $20,163,000 ($0.41 per share) from revenues of $299,238,000 for the first six months of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the first six months of fiscal 2000 included $8,152,000 ($0.16 per share) from the sale of investment securities versus $71,000 in the same period of last year.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION

Exploration and Production reported an operating profit of $25,139,000 for the first six months compared with an operating loss of $1,765,000 for the same period of fiscal 1999. Oil and gas revenues increased to $64.3 million from $45.3 million.

Natural gas revenues increased $17.2 million, or 47 percent, due primarily to higher gas prices (38 percent) and natural gas volumes (6 percent). Oil revenues increased $6.5 million, or 181 percent, as oil prices more than doubled from the first six months of fiscal 1999. Natural gas prices averaged $2.27 per mcf and $1.64 per mcf for the first six months of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. Natural gas volumes averaged 130.1 mmcf/d and 122.5 mmcf/d, respectively. Crude oil prices averaged $25.64 per bbl and $11.23 per bbl for the first six months of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. Crude oil volumes averaged 2,134 bbls/d and 1,755 bbls/d, respectively.

Included in revenues for the first six months of fiscal 1999 were gains from the sale of producing properties of approximately $4.6 million. Fiscal 1999 also included a $9.6 million FAS 121 impairment charge, which is included in depreciation and depletion. Fiscal 2000 exploration expenses were higher, including increases in dry hole costs ($2.1 million), impairment of undeveloped leases ($1.0 million) and depreciation and depletion ($2.2 million). Geophysical expense decreased to $2.4 million from $6.6 million in fiscal 1999.

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
MARCH 31, 2000
(Continued)

As previously announced, the Company has completed, or was in the process of completing during the first six months, 37 out of 41 wells in which the Company has participated. Four have been deemed dry holes. Current net producing rates from 29 of the 37 successful wells are 27 mmcf/d and 518 barrels of oil per day. Eight additional wells are in the process of being completed or are waiting on pipeline connection.

DOMESTIC DRILLING

Domestic Drilling's operating profit decreased $4.7 million, due primarily to lower margins in land operations, a $2.2 million increase in depreciation, or 15 percent, and lower earnings from the Company's Jade construction project ($1.1 million in fiscal 2000 vs $2.6 million in 1999). Land rig utilization for the first six months of fiscal 2000 was 79 percent, compared with 80 percent in 1999. Offshore rig utilization for the same periods was 96 percent and 99 percent, respectively.

INTERNATIONAL DRILLING

International Drilling's operating profit decreased to $3.8 million from $19 million. Revenues decreased to $66.4 million from $104.5 million. The decrease in operating profit is due primarily to lower rig utilization in Venezuela, Colombia and Australia and lower dayrates in Venezuela and Colombia. International rig utilization averaged 46 percent during the first six months, and 60 percent during last year's first six months.

OTHER

Other revenues increased approximately $24 million over last year, with $12.5 million due to gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities and $0.5 million due to an increase in interest income. The increase also includes gains related to a non-monetary dividend ($9.5 million) and a non-monetary gain ($.7 million) on the conversion of shares of common stock of a Company investee pursuant to that investee being acquired. Net income from these two transactions was approximately $6.3 million ($0.13 per diluted share). See Note 12 regarding restated financials related to these transactions. Interest expense decreased to $1.6 million from $3.5 million because of a substantial reduction in short-term debt. Corporate general and administrative costs decreased to $6.2 million from $8.1 million, due primarily to significantly reduced aircraft maintenance expense and increased allocation to drilling operations as the result of increased rig activity.

The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 43 percent compared to 39 percent for the first six months of 1999. The increase is due primarily to a larger proportion of income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions in the Company's international drilling operations. The effective tax rate of 43 percent for fiscal 2000 could increase slightly if projected operating results are not achieved.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $91,799,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2000, compared with $54,810,000 for the same period in 1999. Capital expenditures were $47,411,000 and $74,002,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The Company anticipates capital expenditures to be approximately $150 million for fiscal 2000, which is less than projected for internally generated cash flows. The Company's indebtedness totaled $50,000,000 as of March 31, 2000, as described in note 7 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

During the second quarter, the Company purchased 20,600 shares of the Company's common stock under the previously approved stock repurchase program that authorizes the purchase of up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

There were no other significant changes in the Company's financial position since September 30, 1999.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

During the past year the Company implemented various initiatives in an attempt to ensure that its hardware, software and equipment function properly with respect to dates before and after January 1, 2000 (the "Y2K Project"). The Company implemented the Y2K Project in four phases: identification, assessment, remediation and testing. The Company completed identification and assessment of all major systems that it believed could be affected by the Year 2000 issue. In response to the identification and assessment, the Company completed the remediation phase for all major Information Technology and Non-Information Technology systems. The Company completed system testing and implementation of all Y2K Project initiatives before the end of 1999.

Additionally, the Company canvassed important raw material and service suppliers for Year 2000 compliance. The search did not reveal any irreplaceable suppliers that would materially impact our results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

The total cost of our Year 2000 project was approximately $800,000, which was funded through the Company's general funds.

To date, the Company has not experienced any significant Year 2000 related system failures nor, to our knowledge, have any of our irreplaceable suppliers. The Company intends to continue to monitor and test its systems for ongoing Year 2000 compliance; however, we cannot guarantee that our computer system or the systems of other companies upon which our operations rely will not be adversely affected by problems associated with the Year 2000 issue.
