1. Basis of Presentation -

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting 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 nine months ended June 30, 2003, and June 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Registrant's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Registrant's 2003 First and Second Quarter Reports on Form 10-Q.

On September 30, 2002, the Company distributed 100 percent of the common stock of Cimarex Energy Co. to the Registrant's shareholders. Cimarex Energy Co. held the Registrant's exploration and production business and has been accounted for as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the notes to consolidated financial statements relates to the continuing operations of the Company (see Note 8).

7. Notes payable and long-term debt -

At June 30, 2003, the Company had $200 million in debt outstanding at fixed rates and maturities as summarized in the following table. Funding of the notes occurred on August 15, 2002 and October 15, 2002 in equal amounts of $100 million.

Issue Amount            Maturity Date          Interest Rate
------------           ---------------         -------------
$25,000,000            August 15, 2007            5.51%
$25,000,000            August 15, 2009            5.91%
$75,000,000            August 15, 2012            6.46%
$75,000,000            August 15, 2014            6.56%

The terms of the debt obligations require the Company to maintain a minimum ratio of debt to total capitalization. The $100 million proceeds received on October 15, 2002 were used to pay outstanding balances in accounts payable related to the Company's rig construction program and for other general corporate purposes.

At June 30, 2003, the Company had a committed unsecured line of credit totaling $125 million. Short-term loans totaling $10 million and letters of credit totaling $13.1 million were outstanding against the line, leaving $101.9 million available to borrow. Under terms of the line of credit, the Company must maintain certain financial ratios as defined including debt to total capitalization and debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and maintain certain levels of liquidity and tangible net worth.

At June 30, 2003, the Company held an unassociated interest rate swap tied to 30-day LIBOR in the amount of $50 million which matures on October 27, 2003. The swap instrument was originally designated as a hedge of a $50 million loan that was paid off in September 2002. The swap liability was valued at approximately $0.6 million on June 30, 2003.

The interest rate swap liability was valued at approximately $1.7 million on the date the $50 million debt was paid off. The $1.7 million is being amortized over the remaining life of the swap as interest expense. In the first nine months of fiscal 2003, $1.2 million was amortized and included in interest expense. Changes to the value of the interest rate swap subsequent to the date the $50 million debt was paid will be recorded to income.

8. Discontinued Operations -

On September 30, 2002, the Company's distribution of 100 percent of the common stock of Cimarex Energy Co. and the subsequent merger of Key Production Company, Inc. with Cimarex was completed. In connection with the distribution, approximately 26.6 million shares of the Cimarex Energy Co. common stock on a diluted basis were distributed to shareholders of the Company of record on September 27, 2002. The Cimarex Energy Co. stock distribution was recorded as a dividend and resulted in a decrease to consolidated shareholders' equity of approximately $152.2 million. The Company does not own any common stock of Cimarex Energy Co.

10. Income Taxes -

The Company's effective tax rate was 43.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to 43.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2002. The effective tax rate is impacted by the Company's international drilling operations and state taxes.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2003, the Company's "Other Assets" have increased to $31.6 million from $4.3 million. The $27.3 million increase is primarily the result of the tax benefit created by an estimated tax net operating loss for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2003.

11. Stock-Based Compensation -

The Company has option plans providing for common stock-based awards to employees and to non-employee directors. The plans permit the granting of various types of awards including stock options and restricted stock. The Company accounts for these plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB No. 25") and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123"). Accordingly, no compensation cost for stock options granted has been recognized, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the day of grant.

On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure ("SFAS No. 148"). SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition to SFAS No. 123's fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.

The Company is considering adopting SFAS No. 123's fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, but has not yet made a final decision on adoption.

Had compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's stock-based compensation expense, net income and income per share would have been adjusted to the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used for options granted in fiscal 2003 include a dividend yield of .75 percent, expected volatility of approximately 45 percent, a risk-free interest rate of approximately 3.1 percent and expected lives of 4.5 years. The weighted average assumptions used for options granted in fiscal 2002 include a dividend yield of .8 percent, expected volatility of approximately 48 percent, a risk-free interest rate of approximately 4.0 percent and expected lives of 4.5 years.

12. New Accounting Standards -

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. The Statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and that the associated asset retirement costs be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. There was no impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position upon adoption of SFAS No. 143 at October 1, 2002.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This Statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions."

The Statement retains the basic framework of SFAS No. 121, resolves certain implementation issues of SFAS No. 121, extends applicability to discontinued operations, and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include a component of an entity. The Company adopted this Statement October 1, 2002. Since the Company's approach for impairment under SFAS No. 121 was consistent with the provisions under SFAS No. 144, adopting this statement had no impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

Included in the Company's operating revenues for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2003 are reimbursements for "out-of-pocket" expenses of $7.7 million and $23.2 million, respectively. Previously, the Company recognized reimbursements received as a reduction to the related costs. Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 01-14, "Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred" requires that reimbursements received for "out-of-pocket" expenses be included in operating revenues. The effect of EITF 01-14 resulted in a reclassification to the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2002, that increased operating revenues and operating costs by $12.3 million and $32.6 million, respectively. These reclassifications had no impact on net income.

13. Commitments -

The Company, on a regular basis, makes commitments for the purchase of contract drilling equipment. At June 30, 2003, the Company had commitments outstanding of approximately $75 million for the purchase of drilling equipment.

In July 2003, the Company signed a six-year lease for approximately 114,000 square feet of office space near downtown Tulsa. The lease has an escalating rate that averages approximately $1,200,000 a year. The Company expects to move from its current building to the new location by the end of calendar 2003.

14. Segment information -

The Company operates principally in the contract drilling industry, which includes a Domestic segment and an International segment. The contract drilling operations consist of contracting Company-owned drilling equipment primarily to major oil and gas exploration companies. The Company's primary international areas of operation include Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina and Bolivia. The Company also has a Real Estate

segment whose operations are conducted exclusively in the metropolitan area of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The primary areas of operations include a major shopping center and several multi-tenant warehouses. Each reportable segment is a strategic business unit, which is managed separately as an autonomous business. Other includes investments in available-for-sale securities and corporate operations. 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, and depreciation but excludes general and administrative expense, interest expense and corporate depreciation and other income (expense).

Summarized financial information of the Company's reportable segments for the nine months ended June 30, 2003, and 2002, is shown in the following tables:

16. Employee Retirement Plan ("Pension Plan") -

Helmerich & Payne, Inc. has elected to revise the Helmerich & Payne, Inc. Employees Retirement Plan ("Pension Plan") effective October 1, 2003. The revisions to the Pension Plan are as follows:

[ ] Employees hired by Helmerich & Payne, Inc. after September 30, 2003, will not be able to participate in the Pension Plan.

[ ] Effective during the period October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2006, the formula for calculating a monthly benefit will be reduced by 50%; and

[ ] On September 30, 2006, all benefit accruals under the Pension Plan will be frozen. On October 1, 2006, future accruals for Company pension benefits will cease.

The above revisions to the Pension Plan had no effect upon pension expense accruals for fiscal 2003. However, if such revisions to the Pension Plan had been effective during all of fiscal 2003, then pension expense would have been reduced by approximately $3 million.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

June 30, 2003

RISK FACTORS AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company's fiscal 2003 First and Second Quarter Report on Form 10-Q. 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 include 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.

SPIN-OFF AND MERGER TRANSACTIONS

On September 30, 2002, the Company completed its distribution of 100 percent of the common stock of Cimarex Energy Co. to the Company's shareholders and subsequent merger of Key Production Company, Inc. into a subsidiary of Cimarex making Key a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cimarex. The Cimarex Energy Co. stock distribution was recorded as a dividend and resulted in a decrease to consolidated shareholders' equity of approximately $152.2 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company continues to own and operate the contract drilling and real estate businesses, while Cimarex Energy Co. is a separate publicly-traded company that owns and operates the Company's former exploration and production business. The Company does not own any common stock of Cimarex Energy Co. As a result of the transaction, the Company is reporting the results of its former Exploration and Production Division (Cimarex Energy Co.) as discontinued operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002

The Company reported net income of $8,162,000 ($0.16 per share) from revenues of $137,025,000 for the third quarter ended June 30, 2003, compared to net income of $28,218,000 ($0.56 per share) from revenues of $152,049,000 for the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 included $5,667,000 ($0.11 per share) from discontinued operations. Net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 also included $15,246,000 ($0.30 per share) from the sale of investment securities.

DOMESTIC DRILLING

DOMESTIC DRILLING'S operating profit increased to $18.8 million from $14.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Revenues were $104.6 million and $90.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The $4.4 million increase in operating profit was primarily a result of higher land rig margins and increased land rig activity partially offset by increased depreciation. Average land rig revenue per day was $11,683 and $11,501 for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. Average margin per day for the same periods was $3,767 and $3,390, respectively. Land rig utilization was 82% and 84% for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. Land rig revenue days for the third quarter of 2003 were 5,912 compared to 4,466 for the same period of 2002, with an average of 65 and 49 rigs working during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. There has been some positive movement in dayrates during the quarter but it is difficult to project the timing or extent of additional increases in the near-term. The Company's FlexRig3's continue to receive premium dayrates, as field results continue to improve and exceed the Company's expectations. Efforts to reduce operating costs have been led by the FlexRig3 operations, where costs per rig per day have been reduced from $8,173 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 to $7,575 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003.

Offshore operations results for the third quarter of 2003 were favorable compared with the same period of fiscal 2002, as higher average rig margins per day were partially offset by reduced revenue days. Revenue days for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002 were 592 and 839, respectively. Average margins per day for

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2003
(continued)

the same periods were $22,125 and $13,025. The increase in margins is the result of two new platform rigs added in May and August 2002 at higher dayrates and the recognition of $1.5 million previously deferred income related to the early termination of a drilling contract on Rig 206 in the Gulf of Mexico. With the release of Rig 206, the Company's total number of active offshore rigs is six. The Company's Rig 100 is scheduled to be released in mid-August with the other five active offshore rigs continuing to work.

Depreciation expense for Domestic Drilling increased to $15.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $9.3 million in the same period of 2002. The increase is the result of additional land rigs added in fiscal 2002 and in the first nine months of fiscal 2003.

At June 30, 2003, the Company had 83 U.S. land rigs and 12 U.S. platform rigs located in the Gulf of Mexico. An additional seven FlexRigs were delivered in the current quarter, which completed the year-long FlexRig3 project. The Company recently announced an extension of the FlexRig3 project with the addition of seven more rigs. The seven rigs will be delivered between July 2003 and March 2004.

INTERNATIONAL DRILLING

INTERNATIONAL DRILLING'S operating profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was $3.9 million, compared to $3.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. Revenues decreased to $30.0 million from $34.3 million for the same periods. Rig utilization for international operations averaged 43% and 48% for the third quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Revenue days for the same periods were 1,211 and 1,403, respectively.

Operations in Venezuela were improved over the third quarter of fiscal 2002, as five deep rigs worked for the quarter. An additional deep rig has begun operations in the fourth quarter and two additional deep rigs are committed and scheduled to begin work in the fourth quarter. The Company will also bid two additional deep rigs that could begin operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. Currently, the Venezuelan government has established a fixed exchange rate of 1,596 Venezuelan bolivars to one U.S. dollar. Although collections of accounts receivables from PDVSA have improved over the last two months, the Company, as well as other companies, have been prohibited from converting the Venezuelan bolivar into U.S. dollars. As a result, the Company's exposure to any devaluation that might result from the Venezuelan government removing or changing the fixed exchange rate has increased. If there was a devaluation of 50% (2,400 to 1), the resulting expense to the Company for revaluation of its bolivar assets and liabilities would be approximately $3,900,000. The Company is attempting to receive permission from the Venezuelan government to convert its existing bolivar cash balances into dollars as soon as possible. It is difficult to predict if and when this may occur.

Colombia, Argentina and Bolivia had a combined operating loss of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2003, compared to an operating profit of $0.4 million in the same period in fiscal 2002. The decrease was due to a 60% decline in rig activity. Currently, Colombia has one rig working while Bolivia and Argentina have all eight rigs idle. One rig is expected to begin working in Argentina in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 and Bolivia is expected to have one rig begin working in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2003
(continued)

Operating profit in Ecuador for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002 was $2.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Eight rigs were contracted at 83.3% activity for the third quarter of fiscal 2003, compared to 85.7% in the same period of fiscal 2002. The decrease in operating profit was the result of slightly lower margins and an increase in depreciation. The Company is currently operating five rigs in Ecuador with two rigs expected to resume operations in August.

OTHER

Investment income decreased approximately $25.0 million from last year. In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company had a gain from the sale of available-for-sale securities of $24.9 million ($15.2 million net of tax), compared to no material gain in the third quarter of fiscal 2003.

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased to $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $4.6 million in the same period of 2002. The $1.2 million increase is mainly related to higher pension expense from the Company's defined benefit pension plan and health insurance costs. As disclosed in the Company's July 15, 2003 Form 8-K filing, effective October 1, 2003, the Company will no longer allow new participants into its defined pension plan, and through October 1, 2006 will reduce the formula for pension benefit accruals to plan participants. On October 1, 2006, future accruals for Company pension benefits will cease. General and administrative expenses relating to pension benefits after that date will be dependent upon the performance of the pension fund investments and other actuarial assumptions.

Interest expense was $3.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003, compared to negative $0.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. The increase is the result of the $200,000,000 privately placed term notes issued in August ($100,000,000) and October ($100,000,000) 2002. Capitalized interest for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002 was $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 VS. NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002

The Company reported net income of $11,343,000 ($0.22 per share) from revenues of $376,658,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2003, compared with net income of $54,694,000 ($1.09 per share) from revenues of $428,276,000 for the first nine months of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 included income from discontinued operations of $5,887,000 ($0.12 per share). Net income in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 included $15,792,000 ($0.31 per share) from the sale of investment securities compared with $140,000 ($0.00 per share) for the same period of fiscal 2003.

DOMESTIC DRILLING

DOMESTIC DRILLING'S operating profit was $39.7 million and $55.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002, respectively. Revenues for the same periods were $284.9 million and $273.4, respectively. The decrease in operating profit is due primarily to lower dayrates, with average revenue per day of approximately $11,488 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared with $12,600 in the same period of fiscal 2002. Average land rig margin per day for the same periods was $3,281 and $4,359. Land rig utilization was 80% and 83% for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. Land rig revenue days were 16,284 and 12,640 for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively, with an average of 59.6 and 46.3 rigs working for the same periods.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2003
(continued)

Offshore operating results for the nine months of fiscal 2003 were down 2% for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 compared with the same period of fiscal 2002. Offshore rig utilization was 52% and 90% for the same periods, respectively. Revenue days for the first nine months of 2003 and 2002 were 1,704 and 2,563, respectively. Average margins per day for the same periods were $20,362 and $13,264. The increase in margins is the result of two new platform rigs added in May and August of 2002 at higher dayrates and the recognition of $1.5 million of previously deferred revenue during the third quarter of this year, relating to the early termination of a drilling contract for Rig 206 in the Gulf of Mexico. By mid-August five platform rigs will be working out of 12 available which is not expected to change for the remainder of the calendar year.

Depreciation expense for Domestic Drilling increased to $40.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from $26.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. The increase is mainly the result of the addition of 25 FlexRig3s over the last year.

INTERNATIONAL DRILLING

INTERNATIONAL DRILLING'S operating profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was $4.5 million, compared to $11.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. Revenues decreased to $83.0 million from $120.0 million for the same periods. Rig utilization for international operations averaged 39% and 53% for the first nine months of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Revenue days for the same periods were 3,407 and 4,654, respectively.

Operating profit in Venezuela was $0.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to $4.0 million for the same period of fiscal 2002. Revenue days were down 40% from fiscal 2002 to 1,065 days in the current period. The outlook for additional rig activity in Venezuela is positive. The Company anticipates that all eight of the Company's 3,000 H&P deep rigs will be working by the end of the fiscal year.

Colombia had an operating loss of $1.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to an operating profit of $1.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. Revenue days decreased to 141 from 283 for the same periods. One rig is currently working in Colombia.

Bolivia and Argentina had a combined operating loss of $4.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to an operating loss of $0.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. Revenue days were 245 and 884 for the same periods. In the first nine months of fiscal 2003, Argentina had a currency exchange gain of $1.0 million compared to a currency exchange loss of $1.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2002.

OTHER

Investment income decreased approximately $26 million over last year, with $25.1 million due to decreased gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities and a $0.7 million decrease in dividend income, also due to the sale of securities.

Interest expense was $9.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to $0.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. The increase is the result of the $200,000,000 privately placed term notes issued in August ($100,000,000) and October ($100,000,000) 2002. Capitalized interest for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002 was $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Corporate general and administrative expense increased from $15.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 to $19.6 million in the same period of fiscal

2003. The $4.4 million increase is mainly related to higher pension expense of $4.1 million (see note 16 to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $65.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared with $101.9 million for the same period in 2002. Capital expenditures were $201.4 million and $214.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The Company anticipates capital expenditures to be approximately $260 million for fiscal 2003. Internally generated cash flows are projected to be approximately $115 million for fiscal 2003 and cash balances were $27 million at June 30, 2003. The Company's indebtedness totaled $210,000,000 as of June 30, 2003, as described in note 7 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. It is anticipated that the Company will borrow against its existing line of credit in the fourth quarter or possibly sell a portion of its investment portfolio to fund projected capital expenditures.

The Company incurred short-term loans of $11 million against its unsecured line of credit during the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The proceeds were used to pay outstanding accounts payable balances related to the Company's rig construction program and for other corporate purposes. The Company made a payment of $1 million against the short-term loan during the quarter, leaving a balance of $10 million at June 30, 2003.

Companies have been prohibited from converting the Venezuelan bolivars to U.S. dollars. The Company is attempting to receive permission from the Venezuelan government to convert its existing bolivar cash balances into dollars as soon as possible. The U.S. dollar amount was approximately $8 million at July 31, 2003. It is difficult to predict if and when permission will be granted.

There were no other significant changes in the Company's financial position since September 30, 2002.

For a description of the Company's market risks, see "Item 7 (a).

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that:

o the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms; and

-20-

o the Company's disclosure controls and procedures operate such that important information flows to appropriate collection and disclosure points in a timely manner and are effective to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, and made known to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, particularly during the period when this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was prepared, as appropriate to allow timely decision regarding the required disclosure.

b) Changes in internal controls. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls subsequent to their evaluation, nor have there been any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.
