NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which consists 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, 2001, and March 31, 2000, 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 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company's 2001 First Quarter Report on Form 10-Q.
2. Effective October 1, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS 133, as amended, requires that all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Upon adoption at October 1, 2000, the effect of complying with SFAS 133, as amended, resulted in a cumulative transition adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $1.4 million.
3. The $.075 cash dividend declared in December, 2000, was paid March 1, 2001. On March 7, 2001, a cash dividend of $.075 per share was declared for shareholders of record on May 15, 2001, payable June 1, 2001.

8. At March 31, 2001, the Company had committed bank lines of credit totaling $85 million; $35 million expires in May 2001 and $50 million expires in October 2003. The Company had $50 million in variable-rate borrowings under its committed bank line of credit that expires in October 2003. The Company also has outstanding letters of credit totaling $8.2 million against these lines at March 31, 2001. The average rate on the borrowings at March 31, 2001, was 5.56 percent. However, concurrent with a $50 million borrowing under one of its committed facilities, the Company entered into a 5-year, $50 million interest rate swap. The swap effectively fixes the interest rate on this facility at 5.38% for the entire 5-year term of the note.

10. Change in Depreciable Lives - As a result of a recently completed economic evaluation of the useful lives of its drilling equipment, the Company has extended the depreciable life of its rig equipment from 10 to 15 years. This change will provide a better matching of revenues and depreciation expense over the useful life of the equipment. This change, effective October 1, 2000, reduced depreciation expense during the three months and six months ended March 31, 2001, by approximately $7.5 million and $15.0 million, respectively.
11. Impairment - Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased in the current quarter as the result of an impairment charge of approximately $3.8 million for proved Exploration and Production properties. After-tax, the impairment charge reduced the second quarter net income by approximately $2.4 million, $0.05 per share on a diluted basis.
12. Stock Option Plan - In March 2001, the Company adopted the Helmerich & Payne, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan"). Options will not be awarded nor restricted stock granted after December 6, 2000, under any of the previously adopted plans.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the Company to grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options and restricted stock awards to key employees and non-employee Directors subject to conditions set forth in the Stock Incentive Plan. The Board has reserved 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Corporation for grant to participants under the Stock Incentive Plan. Subject to the adjustment provisions of the Stock Incentive Plan, in no event shall more than 450,000 shares of common stock be awarded to participants as restricted stock awards.
13. Interest Rate Risk Management - The Company uses derivatives as part of an overall operating strategy to moderate certain financial market risks and is exposed to interest rate risk from long-term debt. To manage this risk, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap to exchange floating rate for fixed rate interest payments over the remaining life of the debt. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had an interest rate swap outstanding with a notional principal amount of $50 million. (See Note 8)
The Company's accounting policy for these instruments is based on its designation of such instruments as hedging transactions. An instrument is designated as a hedge based in part on its effectiveness in risk reduction and one-to-one matching of derivative instruments to underlying transactions. The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure of variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The change in value of the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of the future cash flows of the risk being hedged, if any, is recognized in the current earnings during the period of change.
The Company's interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge and is expected to be 100% effective in hedging the exposure of variability in the future interest payments attributable to the debt because the terms of the interest swap correlate with the terms of the debt.
14. 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
MARCH 31, 2001
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 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company's 2001 First Quarter Report on Form 10-Q and the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein. 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 and political 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 2001 VS SECOND QUARTER 2000
The Company reported net income of $41,749,000 ($0.82 per share) from revenues
of $221,569,000 for the second quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared with net
income of $19,273,000 ($0.39 per share) from revenues of $151,848,000 for the
second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 and 2000 included $74,000 and $5,996,000 ($0.12 per share),
respectively, from the sale of investment securities.
EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION
Exploration and Production reported operating profit of $44.1 million for the
second quarter compared with $12.4 million for the same period of fiscal 2000.
Oil & gas revenues increased to $74.8 million from $34.1 million as gas prices
increased significantly during the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Natural gas
revenues increased $41.1 million to $69 million for the quarter, due primarily
to higher gas prices, partially offset by lower volumes. Oil revenues decreased
$.7 million, or 10.5 percent, as oil volumes dropped 9% compared to last year.
Natural gas prices averaged $6.46 per mcf and $2.28 per mcf for the second
quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. Natural gas volumes averaged
118.4 mmcf/d and 135.8 mmcf/d, respectively. Crude oil prices averaged $27.78
per bbl and $27.80 per bbl for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Crude oil volumes averaged 2,258 bbls/d and 2,483 bbls/d,
respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
MARCH 31, 2001
(Continued)
Exploration expenses increased $1.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001, compared with the same period of last year as a result of increased dry hole costs. Also in the quarter, the natural gas marketing segment reported an operating loss of $33,000 compared with an operating profit of $1.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000, as higher priced inventory was sold during January 2001 as spot prices declined rapidly.
During the second quarter, the Company participated in the drilling of 40 wells, 33 of which are producing, completing or waiting on pipeline connections, and seven were dry holes. The Company expects to participate in the drilling of approximately 85 wells during the remainder of fiscal 2001, bringing the total wells drilled during the fiscal year to approximately 150. The capital expenditures estimated for the Oil and Gas operations for fiscal 2001 is $75 million for drilling and $24 million for land and seismic investments.
DOMESTIC DRILLING
Domestic Drilling's operating profit increased to $20.6 million from $8.2
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The sharp increase is mainly due
to a significant improvement in the Company's land operations. Also impacting
the operating profit increase was a reduction in depreciation expense due to the
change in the Company's estimated useful life for drilling equipment. The
previously announced change from a 10-year depreciation term, to a 15-year
depreciation term, resulted in a $3.8 million improvement in operating profit in
the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared with the same period in fiscal 2000.
An overall increase in U.S. land rig dayrates of 19% over the previous quarter
and 60% over last year's second quarter, helped push operating profit for the
U.S. land rigs up by 21% over the previous quarter and over last year's second
quarter by 106%, after adjusting for the change in depreciation.
U.S. land rig utilization averaged 96% for this year's second quarter, compared with 82% during last year's second quarter. Offshore platform rig utilization was 100% and 92% for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. During the quarter the Company announced plans to construct an additional fifteen new FlexRigs, a highly mobile 8,000-18,000' land rig. The Company will take delivery of the new rigs from March 2002 to February 2003 with an investment of approximately $9 million per rig.
INTERNATIONAL DRILLING
International Drilling's operating profit increased to $3.8 million from $1.3
million. Revenues increased to $35.1 million from $32.2 million. The increase in
operating profit is due primarily to lower depreciation of $3.7 million as the
result of the Company changing the estimated useful life for drilling equipment
as discussed above. International rig utilization averaged 49% during the second
quarter and 45% during last year's second quarter. International operations
still suffer from sluggish rig demand in South America, especially in Venezuela.
While management expects activity to pick up in the fourth quarter of this year,
the direction and extent of any increased demand in South America is still very
difficult for the Company to predict.

OTHER
Other revenues decreased approximately $9 million from last year, with $9.6
million due to decreased gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities,
offset by a $.6 million increase in interest income. Interest expense decreased
to $.1 million from $.8 million because of increased capitalized interest and
the reversal of $.4 million of interest expense related to a lawsuit. Corporate
general and administrative expenses increased to $4.6 million from $3.3 million
mainly due to labor and benefits and increased professional services.
The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 39.7% for the quarter compared to 43% for the second quarter of last year. The decrease is due primarily to a larger proportionate income in the Company's U.S. operations instead of international drilling operations.
SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 VS SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 The Company reported net income of $75,589,000 ($1.49 per share) from revenues of $414,119,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2001, compared with net income of $39,734,000 ($0.80 per share) from revenues of $301,429,000 for the first six months of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the first six months of fiscal 2001 and 2000 included $155,000 and $7,750,000 ($0.16 per share), respectively, from the sale of investment securities. Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2000 also included 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.
EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION
Exploration and Production reported an operating profit of $71,115,000 for the
first six months of fiscal 2001 compared with $25,139,000 for the same period of
fiscal 2000. Oil & gas revenues increased to $132.6 million from $64.3 million.
Natural gas revenues were $119.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001
compared with $54 million for the same period of fiscal 2000 as gas prices
increased significantly, partially offset by lower gas volumes. Oil revenues
increased $2.7 million to $12.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001.
Natural gas prices averaged $5.59 per mcf and $2.28 per mcf for the first six
months of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. Natural gas volumes averaged 117.4
mmcf/d and 129.7 mmcf/d, respectively. Crude oil prices averaged $29.70 per bbl
and $25.94 per bbl for the first six months of fiscal 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Crude oil volumes averaged 2,345 bbls/d and 2,184 bbls/d,
respectively.
Additional exploration activity increased exploration expenses. Geophysical, dry hole and abandonment expenses were $21.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001, $12.5 million higher than in the same period of last year. Also in fiscal 2001 was an impairment charge of approximately $3.8 million for proved Exploration and Production properties. After-tax, the impairment charge reduced the first six months net income by approximately $2.4 million, $0.05 per share, on a diluted basis. Production expenses also increased to $19.2 million for fiscal 2001 from $12.1 million in fiscal 2000 as both production taxes and ad valorem taxes increased with higher natural gas prices.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
MARCH 31, 2001
(Continued)
DOMESTIC DRILLING
Domestic Drilling's operating profit increased $23 million, due primarily to
increased dayrates, margins and rig utilization in land operations and a
reduction in depreciation expense as the Company changed the estimated useful
life for its drilling equipment.
As previously announced, the Company has extended the depreciable life of its rig equipment from 10 to 15 years, as the result of a recently completed economic evaluation of the useful lives of its drilling equipment. This will provide a better matching of revenues and depreciation expense over the useful life of the equipment. This change, effective October 1, 2000, is expected to reduce depreciation expense in fiscal 2001 for total contract drilling by an estimated $30 million ($15 million each for Domestic and International segments). The change increased domestic operating profit in the first six months of fiscal 2001 by approximately $7.5 million.
Domestic land operations in the first six months of fiscal 2001 improved significantly over the same period in fiscal 2000. Average revenues per day for fiscal 2001 increased 40% over last year to $11,884 per day. Rig utilization for land rigs was 94% in fiscal 2001 compared to 79% in fiscal 2000. Offshore activity was 95.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared with 96% in the same period of fiscal 2000.
The Company's U.S. land fleet is expected to reach a total of 46 rigs by April 15 and approach 52 rigs by December 31. Earnings for the remainder of fiscal 2001 are expected to be positively impacted by both the number of operating rigs and increasing dayrates.
INTERNATIONAL DRILLING
International Drilling's operating profit for the first six months of fiscal
2001 increased to $11.3 million from $3.8 million for the same period last year.
Revenues increased to $73.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001 from
$66.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2000. The increase in operating
profit is due primarily to lower depreciation of $7.4 million as the result of
the Company changing the estimated useful life for drilling equipment. Rig
utilization averaged 51% during the first six months and 46% during last year's
first six months. There are currently 32 land rigs in South America with five of
those rigs undergoing modifications. Some improvement in Venezuela is projected
for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, but the timing and number of additional
rigs is difficult to predict.
OTHER
Other revenues decreased approximately $21 million over last year, with $12.4
million due to decreased gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities,
offset by a $1.8 million increase in interest income due to increased cash
balances. Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2000 also included 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. Interest expense for the first six
months of fiscal 2001 was $0.7 million compared with $1.6 for the same period in
fiscal 2000. The decrease is the
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

result of an increase in capitalized interest and the reversal of $.4 million of interest expense related to a lawsuit. Corporate general and administrative expense increased from $6.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000 to $8.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The increase is related to labor and employee benefits, advertising costs and professional services related to establishing the Company's Exploration and Production Division as a separate public entity. The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 39.7% for the six months compared to 43% for the first six months of fiscal 2000. The decrease is due primarily to a larger proportionate income in the Company's U.S. operations instead of international drilling operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities was $133,739,000 for the first six
months of fiscal 2001, compared with $91,799,000 for the same period in 2000.
Capital expenditures were $110,503,000 and $47,411,000 for the first six months
of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The Company anticipates capital expenditures to be approximately $295 million for fiscal 2001. Internally generated cash flows are projected to be approximately $270 million for fiscal 2001 and cash balances were $146 at March 31, 2001. The Company's indebtedness totaled $50,000,000 as of March 31, 2001, as described in note 8 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. There were no other significant changes in the Company's financial position since September 30, 2000.
