HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the results of the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 1995, and June 30, 1994, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2. The $.125 cash dividend declared in March was paid June 1, 1995. On June 7, 1995, a cash dividend of $.125 per share was declared for shareholders of record on August 15, 1995, payable September 1, 1995.

3. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands of dollars):

                                        06-30-95           09-30-94

Finished Goods                               866              1,027
Materials & Supplies                      18,843             19,532
                                        --------           --------
                                        $ 20,093           $ 20,995
                                        ========           ========

4. Income from investments includes $2,947,000 from gains on sales of securities during the first nine months of 1995, and no gains on sales of securities during the first nine months of 1994.

5. In May, 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The Company adopted the provisions of the new standard for investments held as of or acquired after October 1, 1994. In accordance with the Statement, prior period financial statements have not been restated to reflect the change in accounting principle. The change had no effect on net income. The opening balance of shareholders' equity was increased by $34,435,000 (net of $21,106,000 in deferred income taxes) to reflect the net unrealized holding gains on securities classified as available-for-sale previously carried at lower of cost or market.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the net unrealized holding gains of the Company's securities classified as available-for-sale increased by $1,029,000 (net of $630,000 in deferred income taxes). For the nine months ended June 30, 1995, the net unrealized holding gains increased by $2,430,000 (net of $1,488,000 in deferred income taxes).

Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). The cumulative effect on prior years of adopting the change was recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 1993, and increased net income for the quarter by $4.0 million.

6. The Company maintains a line of credit agreement with certain banks which provides for maximum borrowing of $75,000,000 at adjustable interest rates based on London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR). The borrowings will mature either in May of 1996 or May of 1998. A $30,000,000 portion of the line is for a 364 day term and a $45,000,000 portion is for a three year term. As of June 30, 1995, the Company had borrowed $20,200,000 against the line of credit, at a weighted average interest rate of 6.45%, leaving an unused portion of $54,800,000. The funds were used to pay for current capital expenditures in excess of cash flows.

HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
JUNE 30, 1995

Results of Operations

The Company's net income was $4,584,000 ($0.19 per share) on revenues of $78,756,000 for the third quarter of fiscal year 1995, compared with net income of $4,660,000 ($0.19 per share) on revenues of $78,698,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 1994. Net income for the first nine months totaled $14,820,000 ($0.60 per share), compared with $22,068,000 ($0.90 per share) last year. Last year's first nine months' net income includes the cumulative effect on prior years' income ($.016 per share) caused by the change in accounting method for deferred taxes as required by FASB Statement 109.

Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 1995, includes $1,800,000 after-tax gains from the sale of securities, compared with no after-tax gain from the sale of securities for the same period in 1994.

The Exploration and Production Division had operating losses of $671,000 and $2,900,000, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1995. Operating profits of $5,000 and $9,450,000 were reported for the same periods in fiscal 1994. The significant decrease in operating profits from 1994 to 1995 continues to be the result of lower natural gas prices, reduced natural gas volumes and increased dry hole costs.

Natural gas prices for the third quarter and first nine months of 1995 averaged $1.28 per mcf and $1.31 per mcf, respectively, compared with $1.59 per mcf and $1.77 per mcf in the same periods in 1994. Natural gas volumes for the first nine months of 1995 were 71,108 mmcf/day compared with 78,820 mmcf/day for the first nine months of 1994. Dry hole expense for the first nine months of 1995 was $4,078,000 compared with $977,000 for the same period in 1994.

The Contract Drilling Division had an operating profit of $16,791,000 for the first nine months of 1995, compared with $13,905,000 for the same period of fiscal 1994. The increase is due to expanded operations in Venezuela and Colombia. Two additional rigs in Colombia and one rig in Bolivia commenced operations at the end of the third quarter. The Company now has 35 international rigs, 35 U.S. land rigs and 11 platform rigs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $64,514,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1995, compared with $59,540,000 for the same period in 1994.

-10-

Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 1995 were $88,345,000, compared with $66,546,000 for the same period in 1994. Capital expenditures related to our international drilling operations were $55,550,000
(63%) for the first nine months of fiscal 1995, compared with $20,300,000 (31%)
in fiscal 1994.

The Company has internally funded capital expenditures in excess of its cash flow over the past several years. The current year capital expenditures were partially funded through the sale of a portion of the Company's investment portfolio and through amounts borrowed under its line of credit agreement.

The line of credit agreement provides for maximum borrowing of $75,000,000 at adjustable interest rates based on London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR). As of June 30, 1995, the Company had borrowed $20,200,000 against the line of credit, leaving an unused portion of $54,800,000. The Company anticipates it will borrow additional amounts under its line of credit and sell additional portions of its equity investment portfolio to fund planned capital expenditures during fiscal 1996.

There were no other significant changes in the Company's financial position since September 30, 1994.
