7. At March 31, 2002, the Company had committed bank lines of credit totaling $100 million; $50 million expires in February 2003 and $50 million expires in October 2003. Additionally, the Company had uncommitted credit facilities totaling $10 million. Collectively, the Company had $50 million in outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit totaling $10.6 million against these lines at March 31, 2002. Concurrent with a $50 million borrowing under the facility that expires October 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional value of $50 million and an expiration date of October 2003. The swap effectively converts this $50 million facility from a floating rate of LIBOR plus 50 basis points to a fixed effective rate of 5.38 percent. Excluding the impact of the interest rate swap, the average interest rate for the borrowings at March 31, 2002, was approximately 2.40 percent on a 360-day basis. Under the various credit agreements, the Company must meet certain requirements regarding levels of debt, net worth and earnings. The Company met all requirements at March 31, 2002. -8- HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued (Unaudited) 8. Earnings per Share - Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock.

9. Income Taxes - The Company's effective tax rate was 42.4% in the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to 39.7% in the same period of fiscal 2001. Costs and expenses, related to certain foreign locations for which the Company does not receive a tax benefit, resulted in the current year estimated effective tax rate of 42.4%. The two major reasons for the effective tax rate increase are that the Company had larger net operating loss carry forwards from Venezuela in fiscal 2001, and the Company does not receive a tax benefit from the devaluation losses in Argentina and Venezuela. 10. Interest Rate Risk Management - The Company uses derivatives as part of an overall operating strategy to moderate certain financial market risks and its exposure 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, 2002, the Company had an interest rate swap outstanding with a notional principal amount of $50 million. (See Note 7) 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. -9- HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued (Unaudited) 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. 11. Currency Devaluation - The uncertainty regarding economic, banking and currency stability continues without improvement in Argentina. The development of a solution to the crisis is uncertain, increasing the potential for additional currency declines in the near term. The Argentine peso currently trades in the range of 3 to 3.5 pesos to one U.S. dollar. The Company has recorded $1.2 million in pre-tax currency devaluation losses related to the peso during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company could be exposed to additional currency losses of between $2 million and $4 million during the remainder of fiscal 2002. The Company currently has one rig under contract and working in Argentina. Also, as a result of a severe decline in the value of the Venezuelan bolivar due to political instability and a change in the Venezuelan government's exchange policy, pre-tax currency devaluation losses of $2.3 million were recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Subsequent to March 31, 2002, the bolivar has improved in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Should an additional devaluation of the bolivar occur, the Company could be exposed to additional currency losses of between $0.5 million and $1.4 million during the remainder of fiscal 2002. The Company currently has three rigs under contract and working in Venezuela. 12. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments - Litigation Settlement - The Company is a defendant in Verdin v. R&B Falcon Drilling USA, Inc., et al., a civil action in the United States District Court, Galveston, Texas. In May 2001, the Company reached an agreement in principle with Plaintiff's counsel to settle all claims pending court approval of the settlement. In the third quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company incurred a net charge of $3.25 million to contract drilling expense based on the pending settlement. The total settlement liability is $10 million of which $6.75 million will be paid by the Company's insurer. The Court approved the settlement on April 25, 2002. Payment of the settlement proceeds is expected in June 2002. -10- HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued (Unaudited) Other Matters - The Company is the defendant to claims of drainage of oil and gas from properties offsetting oil and gas wells it operates. The plaintiffs have filed suit on behalf of themselves and a class of similarly situated owners. The Company is in the early stages of its response to the claim, and is unable to estimate the loss, if any, that it might incur related to this matter. The Company, on a regular basis, makes commitments for the purchase of contract drilling equipment. At March 31, 2002, the Company had commitments outstanding of approximately $200 million for the purchase of drilling equipment. 13. 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. -11- HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC.

After tax, the impairment charges reduced net income by approximately $2,400,000($0.05 per share) for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2001, respectively. -14- Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION MARCH 31, 2002 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 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company's fiscal 2002 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 2002 VS SECOND QUARTER 2001 The Company reported net income of $10,872,000 ($0.22 per share) from revenues of $155,576,000 for the second quarter ended March 31, 2002, compared to net income of $41,749,000 ($0.82 per share) from revenues of $221,569,000 for the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001 included $324,000 ($0.01 per share) and $74,000, respectively, from the sale of investment securities. OIL & GAS DIVISION EXPLORATION and PRODUCTION reported operating profit of $3.0 million for the second quarter compared to $44.1 million for the same period of fiscal 2001. Oil & gas revenues decreased to $23.1 million from $74.8 million as commodity prices were significantly lower than in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. -15- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION MARCH 31, 2002 (Continued) Natural gas revenues decreased $49.8 million to $19.2 million for the current quarter, due primarily to lower gas prices. Oil revenues decreased $1.8 million, or 33.2 percent, as both volumes and price decreased compared to last year. Natural gas prices averaged $2.03 per mcf and $6.46 per mcf for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. Natural gas volumes averaged 104.5 mmcf/d and 118.4 mmcf/d, respectively. Crude oil prices averaged $19.86 per bbl and $27.78 per bbl for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. Crude oil volumes averaged 2,018 bbls/d and 2,258 bbls/d, respectively. Exploration expenses decreased to $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2002 from $5.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. The decrease was primarily the result of a $1.9 million decrease in dry hole costs and a $.6 million decrease in geophysical expenses, as the result of reduced exploration activity compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Production expenses were $7.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared with $11.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The $3.4 million decrease was primarily the result of lower production taxes resulting from significantly lower gas prices in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared with the same period in 2001. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $7.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared with $11.0 million in the same period of 2001. The $4.0 million decrease is due primarily to a $3.8 million impairment charge for producing properties in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. After-tax, the impairment charge reduced net income by approximately $2.4 million, $0.05 per share, on a diluted basis. During the second quarter, the Company participated in the drilling of 8 wells, 6 of which are producing, completing or waiting on pipeline connections, and 2 are temporarily abandoned. NATURAL GAS MARKETING segment reported an operating profit of $1.0 million in the current quarter compared to an operating loss of $33 thousand in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. The operating loss in the second quarter of 2001 was the result of selling higher priced inventory in January of 2001 as spot gas prices declined rapidly. In the second quarter of 2002, steadily rising prices benefited the marketing segment. OIL AND GAS DIVISION SPINOFF AND MERGER As announced on February 25, 2002, the Company and Key Production Company, Inc. (Key) have signed a definitive agreement that provides for Helmerich & Payne to contribute the assets and liabilities of the Oil and Gas Division to a newly formed subsidiary, Cimarex Energy Co., and distribute on a pro-rata basis all of the shares of stock of Cimarex to the shareholders of Helmerich & Payne. Cimarex would then merge with Key. Cimarex Energy Co. will be a new publicly traded exploration and production company. The transaction will close after receipt of necessary Key shareholder and regulatory approvals, including the receipt of a favorable letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service. Closing will likely occur in the third calendar quarter of 2002. -16- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION MARCH 31, 2002 (Continued) DOMESTIC DRILLING DOMESTIC DRILLING'S operating profit decreased to $13.5 million from $20.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. The decrease is mainly due to a significant decline in the Company's land operations results. Average U.S. land rig revenue per day for the second quarter was $12,386, down 6% from $13,154 in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Margins also declined, with expenses rising slightly during the quarter, as the Company started to incur costs associated with placing into service new rigs from the FlexRig3 construction program. U.S. land rig utilization for the second quarter of 2002 was 76%, compared with 96% in the same period of 2001. The rig utilization rate was impacted by the inclusion of an additional four rigs that recently became available after significant modifications. The Company currently has 58 U.S. land rigs. Depreciation expense increased $3.0 million to $8.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The 53% increase is the result of capital expenditures made in the last six months of fiscal 2001 and in the first six months of fiscal 2002. As previously announced, the Company is currently in its FlexRig3 construction program wherein a total of 25 new rigs are expected to be built over the next 18 months. It is anticipated that the Company will commence operations on ten of the 25 rigs prior to the end of the fiscal year 2002, and that the remainder will commence operations during fiscal year 2003. The first rig from the FlexRig3 project is scheduled to be completed next month. Dayrates for the Company's U.S. offshore platform rigs remained steady, but utilization dropped to 89% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared with 100% in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 as work on two rigs ended in February 2002 without replacement contracts. The Company anticipates that its newly constructed platform rigs, 205 and 206, will commence operations in May and June, respectively. INTERNATIONAL DRILLING INTERNATIONAL DRILLING'S operating profit increased to $4.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 from $3.8 million in the same period of 2001. Revenues increased to $39.2 million from $35.1 million for the same periods. The increase in operating profit was the result of improved profitability in Ecuador and Argentina, partially offset by reduced operating profit in Venezuela and Bolivia. Venezuela's second quarter results were negatively impacted by $2,379,000 of currency devaluation losses resulting from a severe decline in the value of the Venezuelan bolivar due to a change in its government exchange rate policy. The value of the bolivar has improved relative to the dollar since the end of the quarter but there is still uncertainty as to the direction of the Venezuelan government, regarding currency policies (See Note 11). Rig utilization for the international operations averaged 58% for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to 49% for the second quarter of 2001. -17- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION MARCH 31, 2002 (Continued) OTHER Other revenues decreased approximately $1.5 million from last year, with $.4 million due to reduced dividend income and $1.1 million due to decreased interest income. The decrease in dividend income is the result of reduced equity holdings of Occidental Petroleum and Kerr-McGee in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001. Interest income decreased as the result of reduced cash balances and significantly reduced interest rates in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased to $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $4.6 million in the same period of 2001. The $0.8 million increase is related to labor and benefits, higher pension expense and aircraft maintenance. The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 42.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to 39.7% for the same period of 2001. The increase is due primarily to certain costs and expenses related to foreign locations for which the Company does not receive a tax benefit, including currency devaluation losses. SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 VS SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 The Company reported net income of $26,476,000 ($0.53 per share) from revenues of $329,723,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2002, compared to net income of $75,589,000 ($1.49 per share) from revenues of $414,119,000 for the first six months of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the first six months of fiscal 2002 and 2001 included $324,000 ($0.01 per share) and $155,000, respectively, from the sale of investment securities. OIL AND GAS DIVISION EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION reported an operating loss of $1.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to an operating profit of $71.1 million for the same period of fiscal 2001. Oil & gas revenues decreased to $47.8 million from $132.6 million in 2001. Natural gas revenues were $39.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to $119.5 million for the same period of fiscal 2001, as gas prices decreased significantly. Oil revenues decreased to $7.4 million compared to $12.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001, as both oil prices and volumes decreased. Natural gas prices averaged $2.05 per mcf and $5.59 per mcf for the first six months of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. Natural gas volumes averaged 106.7 mmcf/d and 117.4 mmcf/d, respectively. Crude oil prices averaged $19.72 per bbl and $29.70 per bbl for the first six months of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. Crude oil volumes averaged 2,064 bbls/d and 2,345 bbls/d, respectively. -18- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION MARCH 31, 2002 (Continued) During the first six months of fiscal 2002, exploration related expenses decreased significantly from the same period of fiscal 2001. Geophysical, dry hole and abandonment expenses were $11.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2002, $10.7 million lower than in the same period of last year with reduced dry holes of $7.8 million being the primary item. Reduced exploration activity and exploratory drilling is the primary reason for the decrease in exploration expenses. Production expenses decreased to $15.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared with $19.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. Lower production taxes was the primary reason for the decrease as the result of significantly lower natural gas prices in the first six months of fiscal 2002. During the first six months of fiscal 2002, the Company participated in the drilling of 22 wells, 15 of which are producing, completing or waiting on pipeline connections, and 2 are temporarily abandoned and 5 are dry holes. With the current increase in product prices, drilling expenditures will increase with anticipated drilling of 94 gross wells for fiscal 2002 for a net expenditure of approximately $47 million. NATURAL GAS MARKETING segment reported an operating profit of $1.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to $4.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The significant decrease was the result of very favorable spot market gas prices in both November and December of 2000, as gas prices were increasing to record levels. Those same conditions did not occur during the first six months of fiscal 2002. DOMESTIC DRILLING DOMESTIC DRILLING'S operating profit increased to $41.3 million in the first six months of 2002 from $37.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001. Average U.S. land rig revenue per day for the first six months of 2002 was $13,245 per day compared to $11,884 per day for the same period of 2001. Rig utilization for U.S. land rigs was 83% for the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to 94% in the same period of 2001 as demand for land rigs decreased in 2002 as the result of lower natural gas prices. In March 2002, land rig revenue per day was $12,197 and rig utilization was 79% as dayrates were still drifting lower. The Company's U.S. offshore platform rigs operating results were slightly improved in the six months ended March 31, 2002 compared with the same period of fiscal 2001. Rig utilization was 95% for the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to 96% in the same period of 2001. Two newly constructed platform rigs, 205 and 206, are scheduled to commence operations in the Gulf of Mexico in May and June, respectively. Depreciation expense was $16.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to $10.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The $5.9 million increase is the result of new rig investment during the period April, 2001 to March 2002. -19- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION MARCH 31, 2002 (Continued) Although difficult to predict, the Company's estimated revenue per day for U.S. land rigs in the last six months of fiscal 2002 is approximately $10,600 per day and rig utilization is 85%. Margins will be somewhat lower in the second half of 2002, as expenses have not decreased with lower revenues. As previously stated, ten new FlexRigs will be added in the last six months of fiscal 2002. INTERNATIONAL DRILLING INTERNATIONAL DRILLING'S operating profit decreased to $8.3 million from $11.3 million. Revenues increased to $78.3 million from $73.8 million. Improved profitability in Ecuador and Argentina helped offset reduced operating profit in Colombia and Bolivia. In the first six months of fiscal 2002, devaluation losses in both Argentina and Venezuela negatively impacted operating profit. Venezuela recorded devaluation losses of $2.3 million resulting from a severe decline in the value of the Venezuelan bolivar due to a change in its government exchange policy. Subsequent to March 31, 2002, the bolivar has improved in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Should an additional devaluation of the bolivar occur, the Company could be exposed to additional currency losses of between $0.5 million and $1.4 million during the remainder of fiscal 2002. Argentina also recorded a devaluation loss of $1.2 million in the first six months of 2002 due to devaluation of the Argentina peso. With current conditions in Argentina, there is still significant uncertainty regarding economic, banking and currency stability. Based on a peso exchange of 3.0 and 3.5, the Company could be exposed to additional losses of between $2 and $4 million during this fiscal year due to currency devaluation. OTHER Interest income was $1.1 million in the first six months of 2002 compared to $3.1 million in the same period of 2001. The decrease is the result of lower interest rates and decreased cash balances in 2002. Dividend income was $1.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to $2.2 million in 2001. The decrease is the result of reduced equity holdings in Kerr-McGee and Occidental Petroleum and in money market investments in fiscal 2002. Interest expense for the first six months of fiscal 2002 was $0.7 million compared with $0.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2001. Corporate general and administrative expense was $9.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to $8.2 million for the same period of 2001. The $1.7 million increase is related to labor and benefits, higher pension and insurance costs and legal and professional services related to efforts to establish the Oil and Gas Division as a separate public entity. The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 42.4% for the first six months of fiscal 2002 compared to 39.7% for the same period of 2001. The increase is due primarily to certain costs and expenses related to foreign locations for which the Company does not receive a tax benefit. -20- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION MARCH 31, 2002 (Continued) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities was $86.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2002, compared to $133.7 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in cash flows was the result of significantly lower cash flow from the Exploration and Production segment due to decreased gas prices. Capital expenditures were $165.7 million and $110.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company anticipates capital expenditures to be approximately $357 million for fiscal 2002. Internally generated cash flows are projected to be approximately $165 million for fiscal 2002 and cash balances were $45 million at March 31, 2002. The Company's indebtedness totaled $50,000,000 as of March 31, 2002, as described in note 7 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. It is anticipated that the Company will secure additional borrowing in the last six months of fiscal 2002 and possibly sell a portion of its investment portfolio to fund projected capital expenditures. In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company sold its remaining 150,000 shares of Occidental Petroleum for approximately $4.2 million. Item 3.
