The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. GENERAL The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Petroleum Helicopters, Inc. and subsidiaries ("PHI" or the "Company"). In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial results for the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the accompanying notes and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The Company's financial results, particularly as they relate to the Company's Domestic Oil & Gas operations, are influenced by seasonal fluctuations as discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Therefore, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. On April 23, 2002, the Company issued $200 million of 9 3/8% Senior Unsecured Notes ("Notes") that are due in 2009. The Company used the proceeds to acquire substantially all of the aircraft that it leased and to pay all amounts outstanding under its then existing bank loan agreement ("Terminated Loan Agreement"). As a result, the Company will incur significantly increased depreciation and interest expense and decreased aircraft lease expense. In the first quarter of 2002, lease expenses related to the acquired aircraft were $3.8 million. 2. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has identified four principal segments: Domestic Oil and Gas, International, Aeromedical, and Technical Services. The Domestic Oil and Gas segment primarily provides helicopter services to oil and gas customers operating in the Gulf of Mexico. The International segment provides helicopter services in various foreign countries to oil and gas customers, which primarily consists of operations in the west coast of Africa. The Aeromedical segment provides helicopter services to hospitals and medical programs in several U.S. states. The Company's Air Evac subsidiary is included in the Aeromedical segment. The Technical Services segment provides helicopter repair and overhaul services for a variety of helicopter owners and operators. Beginning late 2001, the Company changed the strategic focus of Technical Services from providing maintenance and overhaul services to all customers, to providing such services only to customers that are currently serviced by the Company's helicopter operations. The Company also plans to fulfill a contractual obligation to provide maintenance to certain military aircraft. Segment operating income is operating revenues less direct expenses, selling, general, and administrative costs, and interest expense allocated to the operating segment. Unallocated overhead consists primarily of corporate selling, general, and administrative costs that the Company does not allocate to the operating segments. 6

---------- (1) Includes gains on dispositions of property and equipment and other income. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company acquired substantially all of the aircraft that it leased. As a result, Domestic Oil & Gas segment assets increased by approximately $103.8 million and Aeromedical segment assets increased by approximately $11.6 million. 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Environmental Matters -- The Company has an aggregate estimated liability of $1.8 million as of June 30, 2002 for environmental remediation costs at various operation facilities that are probable and estimable. The Company has conducted environmental surveys of the Lafayette facility that it vacated in 2001, and has determined that contamination exists at that facility. To date, borings have been installed to determine the type and extent of contamination. Preliminary results indicate limited soil and groundwater impacts. Once the extent and type of contamination are fully defined, a risk evaluation in accordance with regulatory standards will be submitted and evaluated by the appropriate agency. At that point, the regulatory agency will establish what cleanup standards must be met at the site. When the process is complete, the Company will be in a position to develop the appropriate remediation plan and the resulting cost of remediation. The Company has not recorded any estimated liability for remediation at the facility, but based on preliminary surveys and ongoing monitoring, the Company believes the ultimate remediation costs for the Lafayette facility will not be material. Legal Matters -- The Company is named as a defendant in various legal actions that have arisen in the ordinary course of its business and have not been finally adjudicated. The amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined. In the opinion of management, the amount of the ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not have a material adverse effect on results of operations, cash flow or financial position of the Company. Long-Term Debt -- On April 23, 2002, the Company issued Notes of $200 million that have an interest rate of 9 3/8% payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning November 1, 2002, and mature in May 2009. The Notes contain certain covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, dividends, repurchases of capital stock and other payments affecting restricted 7 subsidiaries, issuance and sales of restricted subsidiary stock, dispositions of proceeds of asset sales, and mergers and consolidations or sales of assets. The proceeds of the Notes were used to retire existing bank debt, interest rate swap agreements ("Swaps"), and to purchase 101 aircraft previously under leases. As of June 30, 2002, the Company used $186.0 million of the proceeds as follows (in thousands): Pay amounts outstanding under the Terminated Loan Agreement: Revolving credit facility $ 44,500 Term debt facility 16,271 Acquisition of 101 aircraft from leasing companies and financial institutions: Capital leases 2,679 Operating leases 115,397 Settlement of interest rate swap agreements 1,575 Fees and expenses related to the issue of the Notes 5,627 -------- Total $186,049 ========
Also on April 23, 2002, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with a commercial bank for a $50 million revolving credit and letter of credit facility. The credit agreement permits both prime rate based borrowings and "LIBOR" rate borrowings plus a spread. The spread for LIBOR borrowings is from 2.0% to 3.0%. Any amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due July 31, 2004. The Company will pay an annual 0.375% commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The Company may also obtain letters of credit issued under the credit facility up to $5.0 million with a 0.125% fee payable on the amount of letters of credit issued. As of July 31, 2002, the Company had no borrowings and a $0.6 million letter of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The Company is subject to certain financial covenants under the credit agreement. These covenants include maintaining certain levels of working capital and shareholders' equity and contain other provisions including a restriction on purchases of the Company's stock. The credit agreement also limits the creation, incurrence, or assumption of Funded Debt (as defined, which includes long-term debt) and the acquisition of investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries. Operating Leases -- The Company leases three aircraft and certain facilities and equipment used in its operations. The related lease agreements, which include both non-cancelable and month-to-month terms, generally provide for fixed monthly rentals and, for certain real estate leases, renewal options. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company acquired 99 aircraft that it had previously leased under operating leases. At June 30, 2002, the Company had approximately $21.4 million in aggregate lease commitments under operating leases of which approximately $2.2 million is payable during the next twelve months. Purchase Commitments -- At June 30, 2002, the Company had a commitment of $9 million for the upgrade of certain aircraft. The upgrade is to be performed in 2002 and 2003. 8 4.

The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.6 million and $0.4 million at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The Company also establishes valuation reserves related to obsolescent and excess inventory.

In the second quarter of 2002, the 9 Company recorded $0.6 million of incentive compensation expense related to the first six months of 2002 that is payable in 2003. 8. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT The Company used $118.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to acquire aircraft that it had previously leased. The Company will depreciate the acquired aircraft over five to 15 years using a 30% residual value. 9. NOTES FEES AND EXPENSES As a result of the issuance of the Notes, the Company incurred $5.6 million of fees and expenses. The Company has recorded these costs in other assets and will amortize the costs over the term of the Notes as an addition to interest expense. 10. RECEIVABLE FROM CLINTONDALE AVIATION, INC. As a result of the Company's previous divestiture of its 50% equity interest and related assets of Clintondale Aviation, Inc. ("Clintondale"), the Company had a promissory note receivable of $0.5 million recorded at its estimated net realizable value. During May 2002, the Company entered into a final agreement and received a $1.2 million payment from Clintondale in August 2002, resulting in a settlement that was $0.7 million better than previously estimated, which has been included in the accompanying results of operations (in "Other") during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. 11. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION On April 23, 2002, the Company issued Notes of $200 million that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis, jointly and severally, by all of the Company's existing operating subsidiaries ("Guarantor Subsidiaries").

15 12. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS On June 29, 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" was approved by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, ceased upon adoption of this statement. The Company had implemented SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. The implementation had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operation. SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, requires the recording of liabilities for all legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the normal operation of those assets. These liabilities are required to be recorded at their fair values (which are likely to be the present values of the estimated future cash flows) in the period in which they are incurred. SFAS No. 143 requires the associated asset retirement costs to be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The asset retirement obligation will be accreted each year through a charge to expense. The amounts added to the carrying amounts of the assets will be depreciated over the useful lives of the assets. The Company is required to implement SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003, and does not expect that this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, promulgates standards for measuring and recording impairments of long-lived assets. Additionally, this standard establishes requirements for classifying an asset as held for sale, and changes existing accounting and reporting standards for discontinued operations and exchanges for long-lived assets. The Company implemented SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 eliminates SFAS No. 4 and as a result, gains and losses from extinguishments of debt should be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30. SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases," to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also updates and amends existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The Company has not determined the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which is effective for fiscal periods after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with restructurings, discontinued operations, plant closings, or other exit or disposal activities, when incurred rather than at the date a plan is committed to. The Company plans to adopt the standard as of the effective date and will implement its provisions on a prospective basis. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. 16 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Form 10-Q, other periodic reports filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and other written or oral statements made by it or on its behalf, are forward-looking statements.

PHI undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. OVERVIEW Operating revenues increased $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, compared to the June 30, 2001 quarter, primarily as a result of a $2.3 million increase in Technical Services revenues due to a project for the upgrade and refurbishment of a customer's aircraft, and a $0.9 million increase in Aeromedical segment revenues. These increases were offset in part by a $2.1 million decrease in Domestic Oil and Gas segment revenues due to a decline in oil and gas activity in the Gulf of Mexico. Operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001, increased $4.7 million due to the increase in revenues from the above-mentioned Technical Services contract and from International and Aeromedical operations. There was a slight decline in revenues in the Domestic Oil and Gas segment due to a decrease in activity essentially offset by customer rate increases implemented in 2001. Flight hours declined in all flight segments during both the quarter and six-month periods, primarily as a result of decreased activity in the Gulf of Mexico and termination of certain contracts in the Aeromedical segment as a result of proposed rate increases on those contracts. The effect of the decline on revenues was offset to a large extent by rate increases. Direct expenses plus selling, general, and administrative expense decreased in total for the quarter and six months. There were increases in Technical Services costs ($2.2 million for the quarter and $3.5 million for the six months), severance costs ($0.4 million in the quarter and $1.7 million for the six months), management bonuses ($1.1 million in the second quarter), and depreciation expense ($1.2 million in the second quarter and $1.0 million for the six months). These increases were substantially offset by decreases in maintenance costs ($0.6 million for the quarter and $3.1 million for the six months), fuel costs ($0.5 million for the quarter and $1.5 million for the six months), helicopter rent ($2.6 million for the quarter and $2.9 million for the six months) insurance costs ($0.6 million for the quarter and the six months) and other human resource costs decreased ($1.1 million for the quarter and $0.7 million for the six months). 17 Interest expense increased $4.3 million for the quarter and $3.9 million for the six months because of interest on the Note issuance described below, and $1.9 million of costs related to the retirement of the Company's bank debt and liquidation of the Company's interest rate swap agreements in the second quarter, which were charged to interest expense. On April 23, 2002, the Company issued $200 million in 9 3/8% Notes due May 1, 2009. The proceeds from the offering were used to retire $62.3 million of existing bank debt and the Swaps, and to acquire 101 aircraft for $118.1 million, that the Company previously leased. Also on April 23, 2002, the Company entered into a new $50 million revolving credit facility with a commercial bank. There have been no borrowings under the new revolving credit facility. As a result of the Notes issuance and the purchases of the leased aircraft, the Company has incurred and will incur increased interest and depreciation expense, and decreased aircraft rent expense. Although the Company expects that these changes will reduce earnings before income taxes by approximately $1.2 million per quarter, management believes that the changes will improve overall liquidity over the next several years, which will allow the Company to pursue earnings growth opportunities, by increasing cash from operations by approximately $5.7 million in 2002 and $10.5 million in 2003, including incremental tax effects. In later years, this amount reduces due to the effects of lower tax depreciation. Additionally, until 2009 when the Notes become due, the Company will be able to retain cash that would have otherwise been needed for bank debt principal payments. OPERATIONS STATISTICS The following tables present certain non-financial operational statistics for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001:

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 COMBINED OPERATIONS REVENUES -- Operating revenues were $69.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $68.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $1.1 million. The increase was due to 18 revenues from a Technical Services contract for the upgrade and refurbishment of an aircraft for a customer and to increases in International and Aeromedical flight related operating revenues. The increases in International and Aeromedical operating revenues were due to rate increases implemented in 2001 and 2002, offset in part by decreases in flight activity. Operating revenues in the Domestic Oil and Gas segment decreased $2.1 million for the quarter as a result of decreased flight activity in the Gulf of Mexico. This decrease in activity in the Domestic Oil and Gas segment was offset in part by increases in rates implemented in 2001 in that segment. OTHER INCOME AND LOSSES -- Gains on property and equipment dispositions for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 were $0.3 million. The Company also had interest income of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2002, related to cash deposits, as compared to $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2001, which was related to federal and state tax refunds. The Company also recorded $0.7 million for a favorable settlement of a note receivable from Clintondale. DIRECT EXPENSES -- Direct expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $57.0 million, compared to $58.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in direct expenses was the result of a decrease in maintenance costs due to the decline in activity ($0.6 million), decreased helicopter rent as a result of the purchase of leased aircraft ($2.6 million), decreased fuel cost due to the decline in activity ($0.5 million), and insurance costs due to a competitive bidding process ($0.6 million), offset by increases in depreciation expense of $1.2 million as a result of the purchase of leased aircraft, $2.2 million increase in Technical Services costs due to the contract previously mentioned, $0.3 million for severance charges, and $0.3 million for management bonuses. Excluding the severance charges and management bonus mentioned above, other human resource costs decreased for the quarter and six months due to the decrease in head count. At June 30, 2002 there were 1,700 employees as compared to 1,752 at June 30, 2001. SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES -- Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $5.3 million, as compared to $4.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The $0.9 million increase is the result of severance costs of $0.1 million and a charge of $0.8 million for management bonuses. INTEREST EXPENSE -- Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased to $6.0 million from $1.7 million in the prior year. Included in interest expense was the $1.9 million related to liquidating the Swaps and retirement of bank debt. The remaining increase in interest expense is related to the Notes sold on April 23, 2002. As a result of the issuance of Notes and related debt repayment, the Company expects interest expense to increase by approximately $3.4 million per quarter. INCOME TAXES -- Income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $1.1 million, compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The effective tax-rate was 40% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, and 37% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to increased permanent book and tax differences, and higher state taxes for the Company's Arizona operations. EARNINGS -- The Company's net earnings for the quarter were $1.6 million, compared to $2.8 million in the same period in the prior year. Earnings before tax for the quarter were $2.6 million compared to $4.4 million in the same period of the prior year. Earnings per diluted share for the quarter were $0.29 as compared to $0.52 per diluted share for the same quarter prior year. Although there was a decline in flight hour activity, the principal reason for the earnings decline was the increase in interest expense, described below. 19 SEGMENT DISCUSSION Domestic Oil and Gas -- Domestic Oil & Gas segment revenues were $44.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, compared to $46.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $2.1 million. There was a decrease in flight activity offset in part by an increase in rates implemented in 2001. The decrease in flight activity was the result of reduced oil and gas activity in the Gulf of Mexico, as indicated by a 14.7% decrease in flight hours for the quarter. The number of aircraft in the segment was 179 at June 30, 2002 as compared to 192 at June 30, 2001. The Domestic Oil & Gas segment operating income decreased $2.5 million. Operating margin of 9.1% for the second quarter compares to 14.1% for the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease in operating income and operating margin is due to the decrease in activity, and to a $1.1 million increase in depreciation expense, a $2.3 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in helicopter rent expense as a result of the purchase of leased aircraft. Also included in direct expense is $0.3 million of severance costs and $0.3 million related to management bonuses. International -- International segment revenues were $5.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, compared to $5.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase was due to rate increases recently implemented by the Company, offset in part by reduced demand and flight activity in West Africa. Flight hours declined 20.4% in the International segment in the period. The number of aircraft in the segment was 21 at June 30, 2002, as compared to 25 at June 30, 2001. The International segment had $0.3 million operating income for the quarter, compared to a $0.1 million operating loss for the same period in 2001. Operating margin of 5.9% for the second quarter 2002 compares to (1.4)% for the same quarter in the prior year. The improvement in operating income and operating margin was due and a net decrease in direct expenses. The decrease in direct expenses was primarily due to fewer aircraft in the segment in the quarter, which was partially offset by a slight increase in depreciation expense and a $0.2 million increase in interest expense. Aeromedical -- Aeromedical segment revenues were $12.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, compared to $11.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $0.9 million. The increase was due to customer rate increases implemented by the Company offset in part by a 20.3% decrease in flight hours due to the termination of certain Aeromedical contracts as a result of proposed rate increases on those contracts. The number of aircraft in the segment was 33 at June 30, 2002 as compared to 42 for June 30, 2001. The Aeromedical segment operating income was $2.0 million for the quarter, compared to an operating loss of less than $0.1 million for the same period in 2001. Operating margin was 15.7% for the quarter and compares to (0.3)% for the same quarter in 2001. The increase in operating income and operating margin is attributable to increased customer rates and a $1.1 million decrease in costs. Costs in the Aeromedical segment decreased due to the decrease in the number of aircraft in the segment resulting in decreases in maintenance costs and fuel costs, which was partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in depreciation expense and a $0.3 million increase in interest expense. Technical Services -- Technical Services segment revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $7.6 million, compared to $5.3 million in the prior year, an increase of $2.3 million. The increase in Technical Services revenues is related to a contract for the refurbishment and upgrade of a customer's aircraft. The Technical Services segment had operating income of $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The operating margin was 15.8% in the quarter, compared to 21.0% in the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in operating revenues 20 was largely offset by an increase in costs in the Technical Services segment of $2.2 million related to the previously mentioned contract. During 2001, the Company changed the strategic focus of Technical Services from providing maintenance and overhaul services to all customers to only those customers that are currently serviced by the Company's helicopter operations. The Company implemented this change to allow the Technical Services segment to focus on the Company's aircraft and components. The Company believes that the change in the focus of Technical Services will contribute to increased availability of the Company's aircraft, with a consequent favorable impact on flight operations revenue. However, this change in strategic focus may result in lower revenues from this segment. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 COMBINED OPERATIONS REVENUES -- Operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $136.5 million, compared to $131.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $4.7 million. The increase in operating revenues was due primarily to revenues from a Technical Services segment maintenance contract for the upgrade and refurbishment of two aircraft for a customer. Flight related revenues also increased 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in flight revenue was due to customer rate increases implemented in 2001, offset by a decrease in flight activity. Flight hours for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were 84,255, as compared to 98,523 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of 14,268 flight hours, or approximately 14.5%. This decrease was primarily due to reduced oil and gas activity in the Gulf of Mexico. The number of aircraft at June 30, 2002 was 233 as compared to 259 at June 30, 2001. OTHER INCOME -- Gains on property and equipment dispositions was $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 20, 2001, as fewer aircraft were available for sale in 2002. There was interest income of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 20, 2002, compared to $0.4 million for the six months June 30, 2001. Interest income in the prior period was related to interest income on federal and state tax refunds. The Company also recorded $0.7 million for a favorable settlement of a note receivable from Clintondale. DIRECT EXPENSES -- Direct expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $115.1 million, compared to $117.6 million for the comparable period in 2001. The decrease in direct expenses was the result of decreases in helicopter rent ($2.9 million) as a result of the purchase of leased aircraft, insurance costs ($0.6 million) as a result of a competitive bidding process, maintenance costs ($3.1 million) due to the decline in activity, and fuel costs ($1.5 million) also due to decreased activity. In addition, there was a decrease in recurring compensation cost ($0.6 million) due to the decrease in head count. The above amounts were offset in part by a $3.5 million increase in Technical Services costs due to the contract described above, severance charges ($1.4 million), management bonuses ($0.3 million) and depreciation expense included in direct expenses ($1.0 million) due to the purchase of leased aircraft. SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES -- Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $10.0 million, compared to $9.1 million for the six months June 30, 2001, an increase of $0.9 million. The increase is due to $0.3 million of severance charges and $0.8 million related to management bonuses, offset in part by a $0.2 million decrease in legal costs. 21 INTEREST EXPENSE -- Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $7.3 million, as compared to $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Included in interest expense is $1.9 million related to liquidating the Swaps and retirement of bank debt. The remaining increase in interest expense is related to the Notes issued on April 23, 2002. As a result of the $200 million issuance of Notes and related debt repayment, the Company expects interest expense to increase by approximately $13.6 million per year. INCOME TAXES -- Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $2.4 million, compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was 40%, as compared to 37% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to increased permanent book and tax differences, and higher state taxes for the Company's Arizona operations. EARNINGS -- The Company's net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $3.6 million, compared to net income of $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Earnings before tax for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $6.0 million, compared to earnings before tax of $4.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $0.67 as compared to earnings per diluted share of $0.54 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Earnings for the six months were impacted by $2.4 million of interest on the issuance of the Notes, $1.9 million for the retirement of the bank debt and the Swaps, which was recorded as interest costs, and $1.7 million of severance costs. Flight hours were down 14,268 for the six months due largely to a decrease in oil and gas activity in the Gulf of Mexico. The impact on revenues of this decline was offset by the effect of rate increases. SEGMENT DISCUSSION Domestic Oil and Gas -- Domestic Oil & Gas segment revenues were $86.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, compared to $86.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. A decrease of 10,627 flight hours was offset by customer rate increases implemented in 2001. The decrease in flight activity was due to a decline in oil and gas activity in the Gulf of Mexico. The number of aircraft in the segment was 179 at June 30, 2002 as compared to 192 at June 30, 2001. Domestic Oil & Gas segment operating income was $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The operating margin for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was 9.0%, compared to 8.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The improvement in operating income and operating margin was due to rate increases implemented by the Company, offset in part by a decrease in flight hour activity. There was also a decrease in costs primarily as a result of decreased maintenance and fuel costs due to the decline in activity ($3.1 million) and a decrease in helicopter rent ($2.0 million), partially offset by increases in severance costs ($1.0 million), management bonuses ($0.3 million), depreciation expense ($1.2 million) and interest expense ($2.1 million) as a result of the purchase of leased aircraft. International -- International segment revenues were $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $11.1 million for the six months June 30, 2001, an increase of $0.3 million. The increase in revenues was due to rate increases recently implemented by the Company. This was partially offset by a 1,846 decline in flight hour activity caused by reduced demand in West Africa. The number of aircraft at June 30, 2002 in the International segment was 21, as compared to 25 at June 30, 2001. International segment operating income was $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to a $0.5 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Operating margin of 8.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compares to (4.8)% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The 22 improvement in operating income and operating margin was due to rate increases implemented by the Company, decreased maintenance and fuel costs resulting from the decline in flight activity, and a decrease in depreciation expense ($0.1 million), offset in part by an increase in interest expense ($0.1 million). Aeromedical -- Aeromedical segment revenues were $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $23.6 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $0.7 million. The increase in operating revenues for the Aeromedical segment is attributable to customer rate increases offset in part by a decrease of 1,736 flight hours due to the termination of certain Aeromedical contracts as a reaction to proposed rate increases. The number of aircraft in the segment was 33 at June 30, 2002, as compared to 42 for June 30, 2001. Aeromedical segment operating income was $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The operating margin for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was 13.3%, compared to 3.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The improvement in operating income and operating margin was due to rate increases and also due to decreased costs, which primarily is the result of decreased maintenance and fuel costs resulting from the decline in flight activity, slightly offset by increases in depreciation expense ($0.1 million) and interest expense ($0.1 million). Technical Services -- The Technical Services segment operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $14.6 million, compared to $10.8 million in the comparable period in the prior year, an increase of $3.8 million. The increase in Technical Services revenues was related to revenue from a contract for the refurbishment and upgrade of two aircraft. The Technical Services segment had operating income of $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The operating margin was 14.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 16.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in operating income is due to the increase in activity. Costs in the Technical Services segment increased $3.5 million due to the contract previously mentioned. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's cash position on June 30, 2002 was $19.2 million, compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 2001. Working capital was $74.1 million at June 30, 2002, as compared to $47.0 million at June 30, 2001, an increase of $27.1 million. An increase in cash of $13.7 million, primarily the remaining proceeds of the Note issuance, and a decrease in current maturities of long-term debt of $14.8 million as bank debt was repaid with the proceeds of long-term Notes account for the increase in working capital. Net cash provided by operating activities funded capital expenditure requirements of $14.9 million in 2002. Note issuance costs of $5.6 million were funded with proceeds from the sale of the Notes. On April 23, 2002, the Company issued Notes of $200 million that carry an interest rate of 9 3/8% payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning November 1, 2002, and mature in May 2009. The Notes contain certain covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, dividends, repurchases of capital stock and other payments affecting restricted subsidiaries, issuance and sales of restricted subsidiary stock, dispositions of proceeds of asset sales, and mergers and consolidations or sales of assets. Proceeds from the Notes, net of $5.6 million of fees and expenses, were used to retire the Company's $16.3 million term credit facility and $44.5 million revolving credit facility, and to terminate the related Swaps for $1.6 million. The Company also purchased 101 aircraft, which were previously leased, for $118.1 million. 23 Also, on April 23, 2002, the Company executed a new credit agreement with a commercial bank for a $50 million revolving credit facility. The Company has not borrowed under this new credit facility. Capital expenditures totaled $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Capital expenditures primarily include amounts for the refurbishment of aircraft and the upgrade of capability of certain aircraft. As discussed above, the Company also purchased $118.1 million of aircraft it previously leased. At June 30, 2002, the Company had a commitment of $9 million for the upgrade of certain aircraft. The upgrade is to be performed in 2002 and 2003. The effect of the purchases of the aircraft will be to improve cash flow by the reduced lease payments, less the increased interest expense from the issuance of the Notes. The Company believes that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund required interest payments on the Notes and capital expenditures during 2002. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS As of June 30, 2002, the Company has an aggregate estimated liability of $1.8 million for environmental remediation costs that are probable and estimable. The Company has conducted environmental surveys of its Lafayette facility, which it vacated in 2001, and has determined that contamination exists at that facility. To date, borings have been installed to determine the type and extent of contamination. Preliminary results indicate limited soil and groundwater impacts. Once the extent and type of contamination are fully defined, a risk evaluation in accordance with regulatory standards will be submitted and evaluated by the appropriate agency. At that point, the regulatory agency will establish what cleanup standards must be met at the site. When the process is complete, the Company will be in a position to develop the appropriate remediation plan and the resulting cost of remediation. The Company has not recorded any estimated liability for remediation at the site, but based on preliminary surveys and ongoing monitoring, the Company believes the ultimate remediation costs for the Lafayette facility will not be material. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS On June 29, 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" was approved by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, ceased upon adoption of this statement. The Company had implemented SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. The implementation had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operation. SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, requires the recording of liabilities for all legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the normal operation of those assets. These liabilities are required to be recorded at their fair values (which are likely to be the present values of the estimated future cash flows) in the period in which they are incurred. SFAS No.143 requires the associated asset retirement costs to be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The asset retirement obligation will be accreted each year through a charge to expense. The amounts added to the carrying amounts of the assets will be depreciated over the useful lives of the assets. The Company is required to implement SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003, and does not expect that this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. 24 SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, promulgates standards for measuring and recording impairments of long-lived assets. Additionally, this standard establishes requirements for classifying an asset as held for sale, and changes existing accounting and reporting standards for discontinued operations and exchanges for long-lived assets. The Company implemented SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 eliminates SFAS No. 4 and as a result, gains and losses from extinguishments of debt should be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30. SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases," to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also updates and amends existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The Company has not determined the impact that this statement will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which is effective for fiscal periods after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with restructurings, discontinued operations, plant closings, or other exit or disposal activities, when incurred rather than at the date a plan is committed to. The Company plans to adopt the standard as of the effective date and will implement its provisions on a prospective basis. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK On April 23, 2002, the Company paid its Terminated Loan Agreement. The Terminated Loan Agreement had variable interest rates. In conjunction with the payment of the Terminated Loan Agreement, the Company settled its interest rate swaps by paying $1.6 to the counterparties. Also on April 23, 2002, the Company issued Notes of $200 million that have an interest rate of 9 3/8% payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning November 1, 2002, and mature in May 2009. The market value of the Notes will vary as changes occur to general market interest rates, the remaining maturity of the Notes, and the Company's credit worthiness. A hypothetical 100 basis-point increase to the Notes' imputed interest rate immediately after issue would have resulted in a market value decline to approximately $190.2 million. There were no other material changes to the Company's disclosures regarding derivatives in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. 25 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is involved in various legal proceedings primarily involving claims for personal injury. The Company believes that the outcome of all such proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. ITEM 4.
