6. In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (Statement 109). Statement 109 represents a new method of accounting for income taxes. It generally requires that deferred taxes be provided using a liability approach at currently enacted income tax rates, rather than the deferred approach at historical rates which had been required.

Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 109. The cumulative effect on prior years of adopting the change was recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 1993, as provided by SFAS 109, and increased net income for the quarter by $4.0 million.

HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
JUNE 30, 1994

The Company reported net income of $4,660,000 ($0.19 per share) on revenues of $78,698,000 for the third quarter of fiscal year 1994, compared with net income of $4,931,000 ($0.20 per share) on revenues of $73,607,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 1993. Net income for the first nine months totaled $22,068,000 ($0.90 per share), compared with $19,418,000 ($0.80 per share) last year. This year's first nine months' net income includes the cumulative effect on prior years' income ($.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, 1994, includes no after-tax gains from the sale of securities, compared with $1,309,000 ($0.05 per share) for the same period in 1993.

Results from domestic drilling operations continued to show a significant improvement over the prior year, with pre-tax income of $4,019,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1994, compared with $904,000 for the same period in fiscal 1993. The improvement is due primarily to increased land and offshore platform rig utilization at higher profit margins. On June 30, 1994, the Company purchased twelve land drilling rigs and a yard facility located in Alice, Texas, from ENSCO Drilling Company. The purchase is reflected in the Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement at June 30, 1994. Operating results will be reflected beginning in July, 1994.

Pre-tax income from international drilling operations was $9,926,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1994, compared with $12,817,000 for the same nine months of fiscal 1993. Lower operating margins in Colombia due to increased expenses was the major factor in the 22.5% decrease in pre-tax income. Venezuela pre-tax income was down for the quarter due mainly to currency exchange losses recorded resulting from temporary bank closures in that country during May.

Oil and Gas pre-tax income for the nine months ended June 30, 1994, was $9,238,000, compared with $14,584,000 for the same period in fiscal 1993. Pre-tax income for the third quarter was $5,000, compared with $4,154,000 last year. Revenues for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1994, were $13,147,000 and $47,567,000, compared with $16,357,000 and $54,705,000 for the same periods last year. The decrease in both pre-tax income and revenues was due to lower natural gas prices and production volumes.

For the nine month period ended June 30, 1994, average natural gas prices were $1.78 (per mcf), compared with $1.84 (per mcf) last year. Natural gas production volumes were 78,784 (mcf/day) for 1994, compared with 83,474 (mcf/day) for 1993. Oil prices for the nine months were $14.05 (per bbl), compared with $18.20 (per bbl) last year. Dry hole expense was $977,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1994, compared with $3,270,000 for the comparable period in fiscal 1993. Because of lower than expected natural gas prices, gas volumes will remain lower in the fourth quarter.

Deferred Federal income taxes were reduced in the first quarter of fiscal 1994, as required by adoption of SFAS 109.

There were no significant changes in the Company's financial position since September 30, 1993. Capital expenditures, as projected, for the remainder of fiscal 1994 will most likely be funded out of operating cash flows.
