1. Basis of Presentation -
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only
of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the
results of the periods presented. The results of operations for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 2003, and June 30, 2002, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto in the Registrant's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the
Registrant's 2003 First and Second Quarter Reports on Form 10-Q.
On September 30, 2002, the Company distributed 100 percent of the
common stock of Cimarex Energy Co. to the Registrant's shareholders.
Cimarex Energy Co. held the Registrant's exploration and production
business and has been accounted for as discontinued operations in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. Unless indicated
otherwise, the information in the notes to consolidated financial
statements relates to the continuing operations of the Company (see
Note 8).
2. The $.08 cash dividend declared in March, 2003, was paid June 2, 2003.
On June 4, 2003, a cash dividend of $.08 per share was declared for

3. Inventories consist primarily of replacement parts and supplies held
for use in the Company's drilling operations.
4. Net income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003 includes a
net loss from the sale of available-for-sale securities of $42,000 and
a net gain of $140,000, respectively. Cash realized from the sale of
available-for-sale securities was $316,000 and $12,444,000 for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 2003. Net income for the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2002 includes after-tax gains from the sale
of available-for-sale securities of $15,246,000 ($0.30 per share) and
$15,570,000 ($0.31 per share).
5. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities, which

7. Notes payable and long-term debt -
At June 30, 2003, the Company had $200 million in debt outstanding at
fixed rates and maturities as summarized in the following table.
Funding of the notes occurred on August 15, 2002 and October 15, 2002
in equal amounts of $100 million.
Issue Amount Maturity Date Interest Rate
------------ --------------- -------------
$25,000,000 August 15, 2007 5.51%
$25,000,000 August 15, 2009 5.91%
$75,000,000 August 15, 2012 6.46%
$75,000,000 August 15, 2014 6.56%
The terms of the debt obligations require the Company to maintain a
minimum ratio of debt to total capitalization. The $100 million
proceeds received on October 15, 2002 were used to pay outstanding
balances in accounts payable related to the Company's rig construction
program and for other general corporate purposes.
At June 30, 2003, the Company had a committed unsecured line of credit
totaling $125 million. Short-term loans totaling $10 million and
letters of credit totaling $13.1 million were outstanding against the
line, leaving $101.9 million available to borrow. Under terms of the
line of credit, the Company must maintain certain financial ratios as
defined including debt to total capitalization and debt to earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and maintain
certain levels of liquidity and tangible net worth.
At June 30, 2003, the Company held an unassociated interest rate swap
tied to 30-day LIBOR in the amount of $50 million which matures on
October 27, 2003. The swap instrument was originally designated as a
hedge of a $50 million loan that was paid off in September 2002. The
swap liability was valued at approximately $0.6 million on June 30,
2003.
The interest rate swap liability was valued at approximately $1.7
million on the date the $50 million debt was paid off. The $1.7 million
is being amortized over the remaining life of the swap as interest
expense. In the first nine months of fiscal 2003, $1.2 million was
amortized and included in interest expense. Changes to the value of the
interest rate swap subsequent to the date the $50 million debt was paid
will be recorded to income.

8. Discontinued Operations -
On September 30, 2002, the Company's distribution of 100 percent of the
common stock of Cimarex Energy Co. and the subsequent merger of Key
Production Company, Inc. with Cimarex was completed. In connection with
the distribution, approximately 26.6 million shares of the Cimarex
Energy Co. common stock on a diluted basis were distributed to
shareholders of the Company of record on September 27, 2002. The
Cimarex Energy Co. stock distribution was recorded as a dividend and
resulted in a decrease to consolidated shareholders' equity of
approximately $152.2 million. The Company does not own any common stock
of Cimarex Energy Co.
Summarized results of discontinued operations are as follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
June 30, 2002 June 30, 2002
------------------ -----------------
Revenues $45,758 $119,539

Income from discontinued operations $ 5,667 $ 5,887

9. 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.
A reconciliation of the weighted-average common shares outstanding on a
basic and diluted basis is as follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended

Diluted weighted-average shares 50,681 50,574 50,563 50,306
====== ====== ====== ======
10. Income Taxes -
The Company's effective tax rate was 43.3% in the first nine months of
fiscal 2003, compared to 43.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2002.
The effective tax rate is impacted by the Company's international
drilling operations and state taxes.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2003, the Company's "Other Assets"
have increased to $31.6 million from $4.3 million. The $27.3 million
increase is primarily the result of the tax benefit created by an
estimated tax net operating loss for the fiscal year ending September
30, 2003.

11. Stock-Based Compensation -
The Company has option plans providing for common stock-based awards to
employees and to non-employee directors. The plans permit the granting
of various types of awards including stock options and restricted
stock. The Company accounts for these plans under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB
No. 25") and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation ("SFAS No. 123"). Accordingly, no compensation cost for
stock options granted has been recognized, as all options granted under
these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the
underlying common stock on the day of grant.
On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition
and Disclosure ("SFAS No. 148"). SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123 to
provide alternative methods of transition to SFAS No. 123's fair value
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.
The Company is considering adopting SFAS No. 123's fair value method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation, but has not yet made
a final decision on adoption.
Had compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with
the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's stock-based compensation
expense, net income and income per share would have been adjusted to
the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per share
amounts):
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
June 30, June 30,
2003 2002 2003 2002
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Stock-based compensation expense - as reported $ 9 $ 174 $ 103 $ 522
Stock-based compensation expense - pro forma 1,090 940 3,296 2,354
Net income - as reported 8,162 28,218 11,343 54,694
Net income - pro forma 7,081 27,452 8,150 52,862
Income per share - as reported:
Basic 0.16 0.57 0.23 1.10
Diluted 0.16 0.56 0.22 1.09
Income per share - pro forma
Basic 0.14 0.55 0.16 1.06
Diluted 0.14 0.54 0.16 1.05
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average
assumptions used for options granted in fiscal 2003 include a dividend
yield of .75 percent, expected volatility of approximately 45 percent,
a risk-free interest rate of approximately 3.1 percent and expected
lives of 4.5 years. The weighted average assumptions used for options
granted in fiscal 2002 include a dividend yield of .8 percent, expected
volatility of approximately 48 percent, a risk-free interest rate of
approximately 4.0 percent and expected lives of 4.5 years.

12. New Accounting Standards -
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations." This Statement addresses financial accounting
and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets. The Statement requires that the fair value
of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the
period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value
can be made, and that the associated asset retirement costs be
capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset.
There was no impact on the Company's results of operations and
financial position upon adoption of SFAS No. 143 at October 1, 2002.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This Statement supersedes
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and amends Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business
and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions."
The Statement retains the basic framework of SFAS No. 121, resolves
certain implementation issues of SFAS No. 121, extends applicability to
discontinued operations, and broadens the presentation of discontinued
operations to include a component of an entity. The Company adopted
this Statement October 1, 2002. Since the Company's approach for
impairment under SFAS No. 121 was consistent with the provisions under
SFAS No. 144, adopting this statement had no impact on the Company's
results of operations and financial position.
Included in the Company's operating revenues for the three months and
nine months ended June 30, 2003 are reimbursements for "out-of-pocket"
expenses of $7.7 million and $23.2 million, respectively. Previously,
the Company recognized reimbursements received as a reduction to the
related costs. Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 01-14, "Income
Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket
Expenses Incurred" requires that reimbursements received for
"out-of-pocket" expenses be included in operating revenues. The effect
of EITF 01-14 resulted in a reclassification to the three months and
nine months ended June 30, 2002, that increased operating revenues and
operating costs by $12.3 million and $32.6 million, respectively. These
reclassifications had no impact on net income.
13. Commitments -

16. Employee Retirement Plan ("Pension Plan") -
Helmerich & Payne, Inc. has elected to revise the Helmerich & Payne,
Inc. Employees Retirement Plan ("Pension Plan") effective October 1,
2003. The revisions to the Pension Plan are as follows:
[ ] Employees hired by Helmerich & Payne, Inc. after
September 30, 2003, will not be able to participate
in the Pension Plan.
[ ] Effective during the period October 1, 2003 through
September 30, 2006, the formula for calculating a
monthly benefit will be reduced by 50%; and
[ ] On September 30, 2006, all benefit accruals under the
Pension Plan will be frozen. On October 1, 2006,
future accruals for Company pension benefits will
cease.
The above revisions to the Pension Plan had no effect upon pension
expense accruals for fiscal 2003. However, if such revisions to the
Pension Plan had been effective during all of fiscal 2003, then pension
expense would have been reduced by approximately $3 million.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2003
RISK FACTORS AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes included
elsewhere herein and the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and
the Company's fiscal 2003 First and Second Quarter Report on Form 10-Q.
The Company's future operating results may be affected by various
trends and factors, which are beyond the Company's control. These
include, among other factors, fluctuations in natural gas and crude oil
prices, expiration or termination of drilling contracts, currency
exchange losses, changes in general economic and political conditions,
rapid or unexpected changes in technologies and uncertain business
conditions that affect the Company's businesses. Accordingly, past
results and trends should not be used by investors to anticipate future
results or trends.
With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed in
Management's Discussion & Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition include forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions. The
Company cautions that, while it believes such assumptions to be
reasonable and makes them in good faith, assumed facts almost always
vary from actual results. The differences between assumed facts and
actual results can be material. The Company is including this
cautionary statement to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any
forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. The
factors identified in this cautionary statement are important factors
(but not necessarily all important factors) that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company.

SPIN-OFF AND MERGER TRANSACTIONS
On September 30, 2002, the Company completed its distribution of 100
percent of the common stock of Cimarex Energy Co. to the Company's
shareholders and subsequent merger of Key Production Company, Inc. into
a subsidiary of Cimarex making Key a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Cimarex. The Cimarex Energy Co. stock distribution was recorded as a
dividend and resulted in a decrease to consolidated shareholders'
equity of approximately $152.2 million. As a result of this
transaction, the Company continues to own and operate the contract
drilling and real estate businesses, while Cimarex Energy Co. is a
separate publicly-traded company that owns and operates the Company's
former exploration and production business. The Company does not own
any common stock of Cimarex Energy Co. As a result of the transaction,
the Company is reporting the results of its former Exploration and
Production Division (Cimarex Energy Co.) as discontinued operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
The Company reported net income of $8,162,000 ($0.16 per share) from
revenues of $137,025,000 for the third quarter ended June 30, 2003,
compared to net income of $28,218,000 ($0.56 per share) from revenues
of $152,049,000 for the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net
income in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 included $5,667,000 ($0.11
per share) from discontinued operations. Net income in the third
quarter of fiscal 2002 also included $15,246,000 ($0.30 per share) from
the sale of investment securities.
DOMESTIC DRILLING
DOMESTIC DRILLING'S operating profit increased to $18.8 million from
$14.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Revenues were $104.6
million and $90.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The $4.4 million increase in operating profit was
primarily a result of higher land rig margins and increased land rig
activity partially offset by increased depreciation. Average land rig
revenue per day was $11,683 and $11,501 for the third quarter of fiscal
2003 and 2002, respectively. Average margin per day for the same
periods was $3,767 and $3,390, respectively. Land rig utilization was
82% and 84% for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002,
respectively. Land rig revenue days for the third quarter of 2003 were
5,912 compared to 4,466 for the same period of 2002, with an average of
65 and 49 rigs working during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and
2002, respectively. There has been some positive movement in dayrates
during the quarter but it is difficult to project the timing or extent
of additional increases in the near-term. The Company's FlexRig3's
continue to receive premium dayrates, as field results continue to
improve and exceed the Company's expectations. Efforts to reduce
operating costs have been led by the FlexRig3 operations, where costs
per rig per day have been reduced from $8,173 in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2002 to $7,575 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003.
Offshore operations results for the third quarter of 2003 were
favorable compared with the same period of fiscal 2002, as higher
average rig margins per day were partially offset by reduced revenue
days. Revenue days for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002 were
592 and 839, respectively. Average margins per day for
-16-
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2003
(continued)
the same periods were $22,125 and $13,025. The increase in margins is
the result of two new platform rigs added in May and August 2002 at
higher dayrates and the recognition of $1.5 million previously deferred
income related to the early termination of a drilling contract on Rig
206 in the Gulf of Mexico. With the release of Rig 206, the Company's
total number of active offshore rigs is six. The Company's Rig 100 is
scheduled to be released in mid-August with the other five active
offshore rigs continuing to work.
Depreciation expense for Domestic Drilling increased to $15.1 million
in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $9.3 million in the same
period of 2002. The increase is the result of additional land rigs
added in fiscal 2002 and in the first nine months of fiscal 2003.
At June 30, 2003, the Company had 83 U.S. land rigs and 12 U.S.
platform rigs located in the Gulf of Mexico. An additional seven
FlexRigs were delivered in the current quarter, which completed the
year-long FlexRig3 project. The Company recently announced an extension
of the FlexRig3 project with the addition of seven more rigs. The seven
rigs will be delivered between July 2003 and March 2004.
INTERNATIONAL DRILLING
INTERNATIONAL DRILLING'S operating profit for the third quarter of
fiscal 2003 was $3.9 million, compared to $3.5 million in the same
period of fiscal 2002. Revenues decreased to $30.0 million from $34.3
million for the same periods. Rig utilization for international
operations averaged 43% and 48% for the third quarter of 2003 and 2002,
respectively. Revenue days for the same periods were 1,211 and 1,403,
respectively.
Operations in Venezuela were improved over the third quarter of fiscal
2002, as five deep rigs worked for the quarter. An additional deep rig
has begun operations in the fourth quarter and two additional deep rigs
are committed and scheduled to begin work in the fourth quarter. The
Company will also bid two additional deep rigs that could begin
operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. Currently, the
Venezuelan government has established a fixed exchange rate of 1,596
Venezuelan bolivars to one U.S. dollar. Although collections of
accounts receivables from PDVSA have improved over the last two months,
the Company, as well as other companies, have been prohibited from
converting the Venezuelan bolivar into U.S. dollars. As a result, the
Company's exposure to any devaluation that might result from the
Venezuelan government removing or changing the fixed exchange rate has
increased. If there was a devaluation of 50% (2,400 to 1), the
resulting expense to the Company for revaluation of its bolivar assets
and liabilities would be approximately $3,900,000. The Company is
attempting to receive permission from the Venezuelan government to
convert its existing bolivar cash balances into dollars as soon as
possible. It is difficult to predict if and when this may occur.
Colombia, Argentina and Bolivia had a combined operating loss of $1.8
million in the third quarter of 2003, compared to an operating profit
of $0.4 million in the same period in fiscal 2002. The decrease was due
to a 60% decline in rig activity. Currently, Colombia has one rig
working while Bolivia and Argentina have all eight rigs idle. One rig
is expected to begin working in Argentina in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2003 and Bolivia is expected to have one rig begin working in
the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2003
(continued)
Operating profit in Ecuador for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and
2002 was $2.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Eight rigs were
contracted at 83.3% activity for the third quarter of fiscal 2003,
compared to 85.7% in the same period of fiscal 2002. The decrease in
operating profit was the result of slightly lower margins and an
increase in depreciation. The Company is currently operating five rigs
in Ecuador with two rigs expected to resume operations in August.
OTHER
Investment income decreased approximately $25.0 million from last year.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company had a gain from the
sale of available-for-sale securities of $24.9 million ($15.2 million
net of tax), compared to no material gain in the third quarter of
fiscal 2003.
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased to $5.8 million
in the third quarter of 2003 from $4.6 million in the same period of
2002. The $1.2 million increase is mainly related to higher pension
expense from the Company's defined benefit pension plan and health
insurance costs. As disclosed in the Company's July 15, 2003 Form 8-K
filing, effective October 1, 2003, the Company will no longer allow new
participants into its defined pension plan, and through October 1, 2006
will reduce the formula for pension benefit accruals to plan
participants. On October 1, 2006, future accruals for Company pension
benefits will cease. General and administrative expenses relating to
pension benefits after that date will be dependent upon the performance
of the pension fund investments and other actuarial assumptions.
Interest expense was $3.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003,
compared to negative $0.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2002.
The increase is the result of the $200,000,000 privately placed term
notes issued in August ($100,000,000) and October ($100,000,000) 2002.
Capitalized interest for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002 was
$0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 VS. NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
The Company reported net income of $11,343,000 ($0.22 per share) from
revenues of $376,658,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2003,
compared with net income of $54,694,000 ($1.09 per share) from revenues
of $428,276,000 for the first nine months of the prior fiscal year. Net
income in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 included income from
discontinued operations of $5,887,000 ($0.12 per share). Net income in
the first nine months of fiscal 2002 included $15,792,000 ($0.31 per
share) from the sale of investment securities compared with $140,000
($0.00 per share) for the same period of fiscal 2003.
DOMESTIC DRILLING
DOMESTIC DRILLING'S operating profit was $39.7 million and $55.7
million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002,
respectively. Revenues for the same periods were $284.9 million and
$273.4, respectively. The decrease in operating profit is due primarily
to lower dayrates, with average revenue per day of approximately
$11,488 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared with $12,600
in the same period of fiscal 2002. Average land rig margin per day for
the same periods was $3,281 and $4,359. Land rig utilization was 80%
and 83% for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002,
respectively. Land rig revenue days were 16,284 and 12,640 for the
first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively, with an
average of 59.6 and 46.3 rigs working for the same periods.
-18-
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2003
(continued)
Offshore operating results for the nine months of fiscal 2003 were down
2% for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 compared with the same
period of fiscal 2002. Offshore rig utilization was 52% and 90% for the
same periods, respectively. Revenue days for the first nine months of
2003 and 2002 were 1,704 and 2,563, respectively. Average margins per
day for the same periods were $20,362 and $13,264. The increase in
margins is the result of two new platform rigs added in May and August
of 2002 at higher dayrates and the recognition of $1.5 million of
previously deferred revenue during the third quarter of this year,
relating to the early termination of a drilling contract for Rig 206 in
the Gulf of Mexico. By mid-August five platform rigs will be working
out of 12 available which is not expected to change for the remainder
of the calendar year.
Depreciation expense for Domestic Drilling increased to $40.9 million
in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from $26.2 million in the same
period of fiscal 2002. The increase is mainly the result of the
addition of 25 FlexRig3s over the last year.
INTERNATIONAL DRILLING
INTERNATIONAL DRILLING'S operating profit for the first nine months of
fiscal 2003 was $4.5 million, compared to $11.8 million in the same
period of fiscal 2002. Revenues decreased to $83.0 million from $120.0
million for the same periods. Rig utilization for international
operations averaged 39% and 53% for the first nine months of 2003 and
2002, respectively. Revenue days for the same periods were 3,407 and
4,654, respectively.
Operating profit in Venezuela was $0.6 million in the first nine months
of fiscal 2003, compared to $4.0 million for the same period of fiscal
2002. Revenue days were down 40% from fiscal 2002 to 1,065 days in the
current period. The outlook for additional rig activity in Venezuela is
positive. The Company anticipates that all eight of the Company's 3,000
H&P deep rigs will be working by the end of the fiscal year.
Colombia had an operating loss of $1.0 million in the first nine months
of fiscal 2003, compared to an operating profit of $1.1 million in the
same period of fiscal 2002. Revenue days decreased to 141 from 283 for
the same periods. One rig is currently working in Colombia.
Bolivia and Argentina had a combined operating loss of $4.7 million in
the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to an operating loss of
$0.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. Revenue days were 245
and 884 for the same periods. In the first nine months of fiscal 2003,
Argentina had a currency exchange gain of $1.0 million compared to a
currency exchange loss of $1.2 million in the same period of fiscal
2002.
OTHER
Investment income decreased approximately $26 million over last
year, with $25.1 million due to decreased gains from the sale of
available-for-sale securities and a $0.7 million decrease in dividend
income, also due to the sale of securities.
Interest expense was $9.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal
2003, compared to $0.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. The
increase is the result of the $200,000,000 privately placed term notes
issued in August ($100,000,000) and October ($100,000,000) 2002.
Capitalized interest for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002
was $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
Corporate general and administrative expense increased from $15.2
million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 to $19.6 million in the
same period of fiscal
-19-
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2003
(continued)
2003. The $4.4 million increase is mainly related to higher pension
expense of $4.1 million (see note 16 to Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities was $65.8 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared with $101.9 million for the
same period in 2002. Capital expenditures were $201.4 million and
$214.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
The Company anticipates capital expenditures to be approximately $260
million for fiscal 2003. Internally generated cash flows are projected
to be approximately $115 million for fiscal 2003 and cash balances were
$27 million at June 30, 2003. The Company's indebtedness totaled
$210,000,000 as of June 30, 2003, as described in note 7 to the
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. It is anticipated that the
Company will borrow against its existing line of credit in the fourth
quarter or possibly sell a portion of its investment portfolio to fund
projected capital expenditures.
The Company incurred short-term loans of $11 million against its
unsecured line of credit during the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The
proceeds were used to pay outstanding accounts payable balances related
to the Company's rig construction program and for other corporate
purposes. The Company made a payment of $1 million against the
short-term loan during the quarter, leaving a balance of $10 million at
June 30, 2003.
Companies have been prohibited from converting the Venezuelan bolivars
to U.S. dollars. The Company is attempting to receive permission from
the Venezuelan government to convert its existing bolivar cash balances
into dollars as soon as possible. The U.S. dollar amount was
approximately $8 million at July 31, 2003. It is difficult to predict
if and when permission will be granted.
There were no other significant changes in the Company's financial
position since September 30, 2002.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's management, under
the supervision and with the participation of the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design
and operation of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer believe that:
o the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports it files or submits
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms; and
-20-
o the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures operate such that important
information flows to appropriate collection
and disclosure points in a timely manner and
are effective to ensure that such
information is accumulated and communicated
to the Company's management, and made known
to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, particularly during
the period when this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q was prepared, as appropriate to
allow timely decision regarding the required
disclosure.
b) Changes in internal controls. There have been no
significant changes in the Company's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect the Company's internal controls subsequent to
their evaluation, nor have there been any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies or
material weaknesses.
