7. At June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2002,
was approximately 2.34 percent on a 360-day basis.

In July 2002, the Company modified its short-term revolving credit
arrangements by replacing the above mentioned $50 million committed line
that expires in February 2003 and a $10 million uncommitted line with a
$125 million committed unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires
in July, 2005. Each year the Company can request a one year extension on
the facility. The facility requires quarterly interest payments with the
principal payment due at the expiration date. The interest rate on the
facility is LIBOR plus 87.5 basis points.


The Company is also in the process of negotiating a $200 million
intermediate term debt facility that would provide staged maturities
ranging from 5 to 12 years. The Company expects to finalize this
arrangement in mid-August 2002.

Under the credit agreements currently in effect, the Company must meet
certain requirements regarding levels of debt, net worth, cash flows and
earnings. The Company met all requirements at June 30, 2002.

Diluted weighted-average
shares 50,574 51,256 50,306 50,941
========== ========== ========== ==========



9. Income Taxes -

The Company's effective tax rate was 43% in the first nine months of fiscal
2002 compared to 39.5% 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 43%. 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 June 30, 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 3.6 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 $1 million and $2 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 $3.1
million and $0.5 million were recorded in the first nine months and the
third quarter of fiscal 2002, respectively. Subsequent to June 30, 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 was 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 Court approved the settlement on April 25, 2002. In June, 2002, the
Company paid $10 million to settle all claims in this litigation. The
Company was reimbursed $6.75 million in June, 2002 by the Company's
insurer.

HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC.

Other Matters -

The Company is a defendant to claims of drainage of gas from two properties
that it operates. The royalty owner plaintiffs have filed suit on behalf of
themselves and a class of similarly situated royalty owners in two 640 acre
spacing units. The plaintiffs allege that the two units have suffered
approximately 12 billion cubic feet of gross gas drainage. Although the
plaintiffs have not specified in their pleadings the amount of damages
alleged, the plaintiffs have orally stated that the royalty owner class has
sustained actual damages of approximately $6.2 million exclusive of
interest and costs. The Company estimates that the share of such alleged
damages attributable to its working interest ownership would total
approximately $1.0 million exclusive of interest and costs. Plaintiffs
further allege that, as a former operator, the Company is liable for all
damages attributable to the drainage. The Company believes that it is
liable only for its working interest share of any actual damages
attributable to the alleged drainage. In the event that the Company is held
liable for the full amount of any actual damages, the Company will seek
contribution, indemnification and/or other appropriate relief from all
other working interest owners for their portion of the alleged drainage
that is attributable to the interest of those other owners.

The Company, on a regular basis, makes commitments for the purchase of
contract drilling equipment. At June 30, 2002, the Company had commitments
outstanding of approximately $170 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.

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

THIRD QUARTER 2002 VS THIRD QUARTER 2001

The Company reported net income of $28,218,000 ($0.56 per share) from revenues
of $185,467,000 for the third quarter ended June 30, 2002, compared to net
income of $40,437,000 ($0.79 per share) from revenues of $217,222,000 for the
third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the third quarter of
fiscal 2002 included $15,468,000 ($0.30 per share) of after-tax gains from the
sale of available-for-sale securities compared to $1,423,000 ($0.03 per share)
in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.

OIL & GAS DIVISION

EXPLORATION and PRODUCTION reported operating profit of $8.6 million for the
third quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $23.9 million for the same period of
fiscal 2001. Oil & gas revenues decreased to $32.5 million compared with $52.3
million in 2001.



-15-



MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2002
(Continued)

Natural gas revenues decreased to $27.7 million from $46.5 million, or 40
percent. The $18.8 million decrease in gas revenues was the result of
significantly lower gas prices ($14.4 million decrease) and a 12% decrease in
gas volumes ($4.4 million decrease). Natural gas prices averaged $2.94 per mcf
and $4.27 per mcf for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively,
while natural gas volumes averaged 103.5 Mmcf/d and 117.8 Mmcf/d, respectively.
Oil revenues decreased to $4.5 million from $5.4 million. The $0.9 million
decrease in oil revenues was the result of both lower prices ($0.4 million
decrease) and volumes ($0.5 million decrease). Crude oil prices averaged $24.34
per Bbl and $26.12 per Bbl for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001,
respectively, while crude oil volumes averaged 2,044 Bbls/d and 2,224 Bbls/d,
respectively.

Exploration expenses were approximately $5.6 million and $9.5 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. Dry hole costs were $3.1
million for the quarter compared with $2.6 million in 2001 and impairment of
undeveloped leases was $2.4 million compared with $4.2 million in 2001. There
were no geophysical expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to
$2.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The decreases were the result of
reduced exploration activity in fiscal 2002.

Operating expenses decreased to $6.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002
compared to $9.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. Lower production
taxes of $2.5 million, as the result of lower gas prices than last year's third
quarter, was the primary reason for the decrease.

The Company participated in an additional 29 wells during the third quarter, of
which 24 were producing, waiting on pipeline connections or completing. Of the
29 wells drilled, 6 were wildcat wells, of which 3 were successful and 3 were
dry holes. For the first nine months of fiscal 2002, the Company participated in
51 wells, of which 39 were completed or are completing, and 12 were dry holes.
The Company expects to participate in 94 gross wells for the year.

NATURAL GAS MARKETING segment reported an operating loss of $0.1 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to an operating profit of $0.4 million in
the third quarter of fiscal 2001.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2002
(Continued)

DOMESTIC DRILLING

Domestic contract drilling revenues for the third quarter of 2002 and 2001 were
$80.6 million and $93.3 million, respectively. Operating profit for the third
quarter of fiscal 2002 was $14.4 million, compared with $30.3 million in last
year's third quarter. The decrease in operating profit is primarily the result
of reduced performance in the Company's land operations. Land dayrates averaged
approximately $11,500 per day in the current quarter, compared to $15,000 per
day in the third quarter of fiscal 2001. Land rig utilization was 85% and 98%
for the third quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The average number of land
rigs available in the U.S. has increased 30%, from 44.6 rigs in the third
quarter of fiscal 2001, to 58.1 rigs during the current quarter. The increase is
due to the additional FlexRigs constructed by the Company over the past year, as
well as four rigs moved from international locations to the U.S.

Operating profit from offshore operations decreased approximately 19% in the
current quarter compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2001, as rig utilization
was 81% and 100% for the third quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Offshore
operating profit for the third quarter of 2002 was helped by the commencement of
work for the Company's new offshore platform rigs 205 and 206. This improvement
was more than offset with two rigs down for the entire quarter, with plans for
modification, and another rig going to standby rates for the quarter.

As previously announced, the Company has begun construction of its third series
of the H&P-designed FlexRig. The current series of rigs, named FlexRig3, is
being assembled in the Company's construction facility in Houston. Two of the
new FlexRig3s recently were deployed to the field to commence operations for
customers. An additional 23 rigs are scheduled to be completed within the next
12-14 months. The next six FlexRig3s to be completed are already committed to
specific customers for work. Rig utilization for all FlexRigs since 1998 have
averaged over 95%. Upon the projected completion in late 2003 of the FlexRig3
project, it is estimated that the Company's land rig fleet in the U.S. will
total 83 rigs, representing a 43% increase over the 58 rigs available during the
current quarter.

INTERNATIONAL DRILLING

International Drilling's operating profit decreased to $3.5 million from $8.0
million. Revenues decreased to $31.4 million from $40.5 milion. The operating
profit decrease is due primarily to decreases in Venezuela, Colombia and
Equatorial Guinea, partially offset by continued improvement from Ecuador as the
result of increased margins. Colombia decreased from three rigs working in the
third quarter of 2001 to one rig in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. The one
remaining rig in Colombia is scheduled to end its contract in September 2002.
The decrease in Venezuela is the result of lower margins compared to last year
and in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 there was a one-time contract settlement
of $2.0 million

Rig utilization averaged 48% for the current quarter, compared to 60% in the
third quarter of 2001. Rig activity continued to be low in all international
countries except in Ecuador where the rig utilization averaged 86% for the
quarter. Rig activity in Venezuela, where the Company operates 14 of its 33
international rigs, averaged 38% for the quarter.

(Continued)

OTHER

Other revenues increased approximately $20.3 million over last year, including a
$22.5 million increase in gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities.
In the current quarter, the Company sold all of its holdings in Bank One
Corporation, Kerr McGee, Oneok and Sun Co. (see note 4). Dividend income
decreased $0.4 million for the quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2001.
Interest income decreased to $0.2 million compared to $1.4 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2001 as interest rates and average cash invested both
decreased in 2002.

Interest expense was a credit of $0.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal
2002 compared to a credit of $1.6 million for the same period of 2001. In 2002,
third quarter interest expense included credits for capitalized interest and ad
valorem tax settlements of $1.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the
same period of 2001, the capitalized interest was $0.4 million and the credit
for ad valorem tax settlements was $1.9 million, respectively.

General and administrative expenses increased to $4.1 million from $3.4 million,
due to increased professional services, pension expense and administrative labor
and benefits.

The company's effective income tax rate increased to 43.5% for the third quarter
of fiscal 2002 compared to 39.0% 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.

NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 VS NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

The Company reported net income of $54,694,000 ($1.09 per share) from revenues
of $515,190,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2002, compared with net
income of $116,026,000 ($2.28 per share) from revenues of $631,341,000 for the
first nine months of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the first nine months
of fiscal 2002 and 2001 included $15,792,000 ($0.31 per share) from the sale of
investment securities compared with $1,497,000 ($0.03 per share) for the same
period of fiscal 2001.

OIL AND GAS DIVISION

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION reported an operating profit of $7.7 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to $95.0 million for the same period
of fiscal 2001. Oil & gas revenues decreased to $80.4 million compared to $184.9
million in 2001.



-18-



MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2002
(Continued)

Natural gas revenues decreased to $67.6 million from $166.1 million, or 59
percent. The $98.5 million decrease in gas revenues was the result of
significantly lower gas prices ($90.4 million decrease) and a 10% decrease in
gas volumes ($8.1 million decrease). Natural gas prices averaged $2.34 per mcf
and $5.16 per mcf for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 and 2001
respectively. Natural gas volumes averaged 105.5 Mmcf/d and 117.5 Mmcf/d,
respectively. Oil revenues decreased to $12.0 million from $18.0 million. The
$6.0 million decrease in oil revenues was the result of both lower prices ($4.5
million decrease) and volumes ($1.5 million decrease). Crude oil prices averaged
$21.33 per Bbl and $28.65 per Bbl for the nine months of fiscal 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Crude oil volumes averaged 2,052 Bbls/d and 2,303 Bbls/d,
respectively.

Exploration expenses were approximately $16.8 million and $31.3 million in the
first nine months of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. A decrease in
exploration activity in 2002, as a result of lower gas prices, is the primary
reason for the $14.5 million decrease in exploration expenses. Dry hole costs
were $6.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to $14.1
million in the same period of 2001. Impairment of undeveloped leases and
geophysical expense were $8.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in the
first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to $11.2 million and $6.0 million,
respectively, in the same period of fiscal 2001.

Operating expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 were $21.9 million
compared to $28.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The $6.9 million
decrease is primarily the result of decreased production taxes in 2002 due to
significantly lower commodity prices in the first nine months of fiscal 2002
compared to the same period in 2001.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $30.7 million for the first
nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to $26.1 million in the same period of 2001.
Impairment charges for producing properties of $7.9 million and $4.5 million
were included in these respective amounts. After-tax, the impairment charge
reduced net income in 2002 and 2001 by approximately $4.9 million ($0.10 per
share) and $2.8 million ($0.05 per share), respectively. The remaining increase
of $1.2 million is due to higher depreciation rates as the result of lower
reserves at September 30, 2001.

NATURAL GAS MARKETING segment reported an operating profit of $1.3 million for
the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to $4.8 million in the same period
of fiscal 2001. The significant decrease is the result of very favorable spot
market prices in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, as gas prices were increasing
dramatically. Those same conditions did not occur during the first nine months
of fiscal 2002.

DOMESTIC DRILLING

Domestic Drilling's operating profit was $55.7 million and $68.0 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, respectively. Revenues for the
same periods were $251.4 million and $228.8, respectively. The decrease in
operating profit is due



-19-




MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2002
(Continued)

primarily to reduced performance in land operations, with average revenue per
day of approximately $12,600 in the first nine months of fiscal 2002, compared
with $15,420 in the same period of fiscal 2001. Land rig utilization was 83% and
95% for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. Operating
profit from offshore operations was down 3% for the first nine months of fiscal
2002, compared to the same period in fiscal 2001. Offshore rig utilization was
90% and 97% for the same periods, respectively.

Although land dayrates are still soft and difficult to predict in future months,
there are signs that they are stabilizing, if commodity prices stay at present
levels. Rig utilization for both land and offshore operations should remain at
third quarter levels in the fourth quarter, as the two new platform rigs 205 and
206 will work a full quarter.

INTERNATIONAL DRILLING

International Drilling's operating profit decreased to $11.8 million from $19.3
million. Revenues decreased to $109.6 from $114.3 million. The decrease in
operating profit is due primarily to a 15% reduction in revenue days and
currency devaluation losses in Venezuela and Argentina. Operating profit in
Colombia decreased $4.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared
to the same period of 2001 as there was one rig working in 2002 and an average
of 3.4 rigs in 2001. Equatorial Guinea operating profit decreased $1.2 million
due to an increase in operating expenses. Operating profit in Ecuador increased
$4.6 million for the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period in
2001 as revenue per day increased by 25%.

In Argentina, operating profit decreased $2.3 million in 2002 compared with 2001
as the average rigs working decreased from 2.8 rigs in the first nine months of
2001 to 1.3 rigs in 2002. Argentina also recorded a currency devaluation loss of
$1.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 due to devaluation of the
Argentina peso. Although some stability has been achieved, there is still
significant uncertainty regarding economic, banking and currency stability.

Operations in Venezuela incurred currency valuation losses in the first nine
months of fiscal 2002 of $3.1 million compared to $0.6 million in the same
period of fiscal 2001. The severe decline in the value of the Venezuelan Bolivar
relative to the U.S. dollar is the result of a change in the government's
exchange policy and general instability in the country. Should 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.

OTHER

Other revenues increased approximately $17 million in the first nine months of
2002 compared to the same period of 2001. Gains from the sale of
available-for-sale securities in the first nine months of 2002 were $25.4
million compared to $2.6 million in the same period of 2001. Dividend income
decreased from $3.1 million in 2001 to $1.8 million in 2002 as the result of
reduced equity holdings and lower money market investments in fiscal 2002.
Interest income was $1.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002
compared to $4.5 million in the same period of 2001. The decrease is the result
of lower interest rates and decreased cash balances in fiscal 2002.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2002
(Continued)

Interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 was a credit of $1.0
million compared with an expense of $32,000 in fiscal 2002. In the first nine
months of fiscal 2002, interest expense included credits for capitalized
interest and ad valorem tax settlements of $1.8 million and $0.3 million,
respectively. For the same period of fiscal 2001, the credits were $0.8 million
and $2.3 million, respectively.

General and administrative expense increased from $11.7 million in the first
nine months of fiscal 2001 to $14.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2002.
The increase is related to labor and employee benefits, advertising costs,
professional services related to establishing the Company's Exploration &
Production Division as a separate public entity, and pension expense.

The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 43.0% for the nine months
compared to 39.9% for the first nine months of fiscal 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $145.2 million for the first nine
months of fiscal 2002, compared with $211.3 million for the same period in 2001.
The decrease in cash flows was primarily the result of significantly lower cash
flow from the Exploration and Production segment due to decreased commodity
prices. Capital expenditures were $257.5 million and $186.7 million for the
first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase is primarily the
result of new rig construction in the Company's U.S. land operations.

The Company anticipates capital expenditures to be approximately $350 million
for fiscal 2002. Internally generated cash flows are projected to be
approximately $200 million for fiscal 2002 and cash balances were $48 million at
June 30, 2002. The Company's indebtedness totaled $50 million as of June 30,
2002, as described in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. To help
finance the future capital expenditure requirements, the Company is currently
negotiating a $200 million intermediate term debt facility. This facility will
provide for staged maturities from 5 to 12 years. The Company expects to
finalize this facility in mid-August 2002. To provide short-term flexibility,
the Company increased its revolving bank lines of credit to a total of $175
million. (see Note 7)

In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company sold its remaining shares in
Bank One Corporation (175,000 shares), Kerr McGee (150,000 shares), Oneok
(450,000 shares) and Sun Co. (312,546 shares) for total proceeds of
approximately $36.8 million. The Company's remaining stock portfolio has a
market value of approximately $180 million.

There were no other significant changes in the Company's financial position
since September 30, 2001.
