Key's  well  service  and  workover rig fleet and fluid  hauling and otheroilfield  truck  fleetfleets  were  the second largest and  largest   fleets,
respectively,  onshore the continental United States.  TheStates and the Company operated in
all major  onshore  oil and gas  producing  regions  of the  continental  United
States,  other than California and in Argentina.  Including the  consummation of
the subsequent  acquisitions of Dawson Production Services,  Inc. ("Dawson") and
the other well servicing companies referred to in "Subsequent Events" below, the
Company  also  operates in  California  and in the inland  waters of the Gulf of
Mexico.  Including  completion  of  the  subsequent  acquisitions,  the  Company
operates  a fleet of  approximately  1,423 well  service  rigs,  1,121  oilfield
trucks, and 71 drilling rigs (including 20 well service rigs, 28 oilfield trucks
and six drilling  rigs in  Texas,  New  Mexico,  Oklahoma,

Subsequent Events

On September 15, 1998, Midland Acquisition Corporation ("Midland"), a New Jersey
corporation  and Clint Hurt provides contract oila  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company,  completed its cash
tender offer (the "Tender  Offer") for all  outstanding  shares of common stock,
par value $0.01 per share (the "Dawson Shares"), including the associated common
stock  purchase  rights,  of Dawson at a price of $17.50 per Dawson  Share.  The
Tender Offer expired at 8:30 a.m., New York City Time, on Tuesday, September 15,
1998. Midland accepted for payment 10,021,601 Dawson Shares for a total purchase
price of approximately $175.4 million. The acceptance of tendered Dawson Shares,
together with Dawson Shares previously owned by Midland and gasthe Company prior to
the  commencement  of the  Tender  Offer  resulted  in Midland  and the  Company
acquiring  approximately  97.0% of the outstanding  Dawson Shares.  The purchase
price for Dawson  Shares  pursuant to the Tender Offer and the merger  agreement
was determined pursuant to arms-length  negotiations between the parties and was
based on a variety of factors,  including,  without limitation,  the anticipated
earnings and cash flows of Dawson.





The Tender  Offer was made  pursuant  to an  Agreement  and Plan of Merger  (the
"Merger  Agreement"),  dated as of August 11, 1998, by and among,  Midland,  the
Company and Dawson.  On September 18, 1998,  pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement,  Midland was merged with and into Dawson (the "First  Merger")  under
the laws of the States of New  Jersey and Texas and all Dawson  Shares not owned
by Midland were  cancelled and retired and  converted  into the right to receive
$17.50 in cash per Dawson Share.  On September 21, 1998,  Dawson was merged with
and into the Company (the "Second Merger") pursuant to the laws of the States of
Maryland and Texas.

The total  consideration paid for the Dawson Shares pursuant to the Tender Offer
and the First Merger was approximately  $181.7 million.  The Company's source of
funds to pay such amount, certain outstanding debt of Dawson and the Company and
related  fees and  expenses  was (i) a bridge  loan  agreement  in the amount of
$150,000,000, dated as of September 14, 1998, among the Company, Lehman Brothers
Inc., as Arranger,  and Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as  Administrative  Agent,
and the other  lenders party  thereto (the "Bridge Loan  Agreement")  and (ii) a
$550,000,000  Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,  dated as of June 6,
1997, as amended and restated through September 14, 1998, among the Company, PNC
Bank, National  Association,  as Administrative Agent, Norwest Bank Texas, N.A.,
as  Collateral  Agent,  PNC Capital  Markets,  Inc.,  as Arranger  and the other
lenders  named  from time to time  parties  thereto  (the  "Second  Amended  and
Restated Credit Agreement").  In connection with the Bridge Loan Agreement,  the
Company entered into Registration  Rights Agreements (the  "Registration  Rights
Agreements") with Lehman Brothers Inc. and Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. pursuant
to which the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange  Commission
(the  "Commission")  within a certain time period a registration  statement with
respect to (i) an offer to exchange  borrowings  under the Bridge Loan Agreement
for a new  issue of debt  securities  of the  Company,  and (ii) the  resale  of
warrants  (and the shares of common  stock of the  Company to be issued upon the
exercise  of such  warrant) to  purchase  shares of common  stock of the Company
issued to Lehman  Brothers  Inc. in connection  with the Bridge Loan  Agreement.
Loans  outstanding  after one year  pursuant to the Bridge Loan  Agreement  will
convert  into term loans  which may be  exchanged  by the  holders  thereof  for
exchange  notes issued  pursuant to an Indenture  dated as of September 14, 1998
(the "Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York, trustee.

At the time the Second Merger was consummated, the Company, its subsidiaries and
U.S.  Trust  Company of Texas,  N.A.,  trustee  ("U.S.  Trust"),  entered into a
Supplemental Indenture dated September 21, 1998 (the "Supplemental  Indenture"),
pursuant  to which the  Company  assumed  the  obligations  of Dawson  under the
indenture  dated February 20, 1997 (the "Dawson  Indenture")  between Dawson and
U.S. Trust, most of the Company's subsidiaries  guarantied those obligations and
the notes  issued  pursuant  to the Dawson  Indenture  were  equally and ratably
secured  with the  obligations  under the Second  Amended  and  Restated  Credit
Agreement.  Under the terms of the Dawson Indenture,  the Company is required to
commence a cash  tender  offer to purchase  at 101% of the  aggregate  principal
amount of the outstanding  notes (which the outstanding  amount is $140 million)
by mid-October  1998, the source of funds for which will be borrowings under the
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Dawson operates approximately 527 well drilling servicesservice rigs, 200 oilfield trucks, and 21
production  testing  units in South  Texas and the Gulf  Coast,  East  Texas and
Louisiana, the Permian Basin of West Texas.

    Subsequent Events

    SubsequentTexas and New Mexico, the Anadarko Basin of
Texas and Oklahoma,  California, and in the inland waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
In addition,  subsequent to June 30, 1997,1998, the Company  purchased  the  remaining  37%
    interest in Servicios and completed the acquisition
of fourfive well servicing companies which collectively operate 83 well  service and  workover  rigs
    (including six in Argentina), three drilling rigs in Argentina, and 75 fluid
    hauling and other trucks. The Company has also announced, subsequent to June
    30, 1997, five acquisitions of well service companies and one acquisition of
    a drilling  company  which  collectively  operate 15393 well service rigs
11(including four in Argentina), one drilling rigs,  91 fluid  haulingrig, and other trucks and a fishing and rental
    tool business.  These six announced  acquisitions are currently  pending and
    assuming  their  completion,  the Company will have  expanded its  operating
    presence  into  markets it  previously  did not serve,  including  the Rocky
    Mountains,  the Four Corners area, the Hugoton Basin, Northern Louisiana and
    Arkansas.  Upon completion of these pending  acquisitions,  Key's operations
    will include 764 well service and workover rigs, 603 fluid hauling and other
    trucks, 23 drilling rigs and numerous  ancillary  operations.  Following the
    closing of these  acquisitions,  the Company  believes that,  based upon the
    number of active well service rigs and fluid hauling and other trucks,  that
    it would operate at that time, it will be the largest well service  provider
    onshore the  continental  United States and the second  largest well service
    provider in Argentina.188 oilfield trucks.

Growth Strategy

The domestic well service rig and production  service  industry has historically
been highly  fragmented,  characterized  by a large number of smaller  companies
which have  competed  effectively  on a local  basis in


                                      - 3 -
 terms of pricing and the
quality of services offered. In recent years, many major and independent oil and
gas companies have placed increasing emphasis upon not only pricing, but also on
safety  records and quality  management  systems of, and the breadth of services

offered by, their vendors,  including well  servicing  contractors.  This market
environment,  which requires  significant  expenditures by smaller  companies to
meet these  increasingly  rigorous  standards,  has  forced  many  smaller  well
servicing companies to sell their operations to larger competitors. As a result,
the  industry  has  seen  high  levels  of  consolidation  among  the  competing
contractors.

Over the past eighteen months,two and one-half years,  Key has been a the leading  consolidator of
this industry,  completing twenty-three   acquisitionsin excess of well
         servicing  operations  (twenty-eight  including pending  transactions).fifty  acquisitions.  This consolidation
has led to reduced  fragmentation  in the market and has led to more predictable
demand for well services for the Company and its  competitors.  Key's management
structure is  decentralized,  which allows for rapid integration of acquisitions
and the retention of strong local identities of many of the acquired businesses.
AsThe Company,  as a result,
         of these and other factors, the Company  has developed a growth  strategy to:  (i),subject to
restrictions  under its  existing  credit  facilities, identify,  negotiate  and
consummate  additional  acquisitions of complementary well servicing operations,
including rigs,  trucking and other  ancillary  services;  (ii)  fully-integrate
acquisitions  into the  Company's  decentralized  organizational  structure  and
thereby attempt to maximize operating  margins;  (iii) expand business lines and
services offered by the Company in existing areas of operations; and (iv) extend
the geographic scope and operating environments for the Company's operations.

Oil Field Services

The Company provides a full range of well service rig services, oil field liquid
services  and other  production  services  necessary  to maintain  and  workover
producing  oil and gas wells  through its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Yale E. Key,  WellTech
Eastern,  WellTech Mid-Continent,  Brooks, Key Four Corners, Key Rocky Mountain,
and  WellTech  Eastern.Servicios.  These  services  also include the  completion  of newly drilled
wells, the recompletion of existing wells (including  horizontal  recompletions)
and the plugging  and  abandonment  of wells at the end of their  useful  lives.
Other  services  include oil field fluid  transportation,  storage and  disposal
services,  frac tank rentals,  fishing and rental tools, wireline services,  air
drilling,  hot oiling, and hot oiling.following the Dawson acquisition,  production testing
services.  The Company has more than 7501,000  customers which are either major oil
and gas companies or independent  producers  seeking to optimize  performance of
oil and gas wells.  Although  the mix of oil  and  gas  wells  serviced  varies  by
         particular markets,  approximately  two-thirds of the Company's overall
         business is  attributable  to oil wells.  As of June 30, 1997,1998, of the Company's 523803 well service and workover rigs,
273299  operate  in the  Permian  Basin of West  Texas and New  Mexico,  161187 in Oklahoma and East Texas, 79the
Mid-Continent  Region,  80 in  the  ArkLaTex  Region,  84 in  Michigan  and  the
Appalachian Basin,Northeast,  29 in the Four Corners Region,  108 in the Rocky Mountain Region and
ten16 in Argentina.

Well Service Rig Services.  The Company utilizes its fleet to perform four major
categories of service to oil and gas operators including:

Maintenance Services. Maintenance services are required on producing oil and gas
wells to ensure  efficient and continuous  operation.  These services consist of
routine mechanical repairs necessary to maintain  production from the well, such
as repairing parted sucker rods or defective  down-hole pumps in an oil well, or
replacing  defective tubing in an oil or gas well. The Company provides the well
service rigs, equipment and crews for these maintenance services.  Many of these
well  service  rigs also have pumps and tanks (a workover  package)  that can be
used for circulating fluids into and out of the well. Maintenance jobs are often
performed  on a series of wells in proximity  to each other and  typically  take
less than 48 hours per well.

Maintenance  services are generally required  throughout the life of a well. The
need for these  services  does not  directly  depend  on the  level of  drilling
activity and is generally independent of short-term  fluctuations - 4 -
in oil and gas
prices. Accordingly,  maintenance services are generally the most stable type of
well service  rig activity. The general level of maintenance, however, is affected by
changes  in the total  number of  producing  oil and gas wells in the  Company's
geographic service areas.

Workover Services.  In addition to periodic  maintenance,  producing oil and gas
wells occasionally  require major repairs or modifications,  called "workovers."
Workover  services include  extensions of existing wells to drain new formations
either through deepening well bores or through drilling of horizontal  laterals.


In less  extensive  workovers,  the Company's rigs are used to seal off depleted
zones in existing well bores and access  previously  bypassed  productive zones.
The  Company's  workover  rigs  are  also  used to  convert  producing  wells to
injection wells for enhanced  recovery  operations.  Workover  services  include
major  subsurface  repairs  such as casing  repair or  replacement,  recovery of
tubing and removal of foreign objects in the well bore. These extensive workover
operations are normally performed by a well service rig with a workover package, ,
which may include rotary drilling  equipment,  mud pumps,  mud tanks and blowout
preventers depending upon the particular type of workover operation. Most of the
Company's  well  service  rigs are  designed  for and can be equipped to perform
complex  workover  operations.  A  workover  may last from a few days to several
weeks.

The demand for workover  services is more sensitive to expectations  relating to
and changes in oil and gas prices than the demand for maintenance services,  but
not as sensitive as the demand for completion services.  When oil and gas prices
are low,  there is little  incentive  to perform  workovers on wells to increase
production and well operators  tend to defer such  expenditures.  As oil and gas
prices increase,  the level of workover  activity tends to increase as operators
seek to increase production by enhancing the efficiency of their wells.

Completion  Services.  Completion  services  prepare  a newly  drilled  well for
production.  The completion process may involve selectively perforating the well
casing to access  producing  zones,  stimulating  and  testing  these  zones and
installing downhole equipment.  The Company provides a well service and workover
package  rig to assist  in this  completion  process.  Newly  drilled  wells are
frequently  completed by a well service rig so that an operator can minimize the
use of a higher cost drilling rig. The completion  process typically  requires a
few days to several weeks,  depending on the nature and type of the  completion,
and generally requires additional auxiliary equipment which the Company provides
for an additional fee.

The demand for well completion services is directly related to drilling activity
levels,  which are highly  sensitive to expectations  relating to and changes in
oil and gas prices. During periods of weak drilling demand, drilling contractors
frequently price well completion work  competitively  compared to a well service
rig so that the drilling rig stays on the job. Thus,  excess  drilling  capacity
will  serve to  reduce  the  amount of  completion  work  available  to the well
servicing industry.

Plugging and Abandonment Services.  Well service rigs and workover equipment are
also used in the plugging and abandonment of oil and gas wells no longer capable
of  producing  in  economic  quantities.  The  demand  for oil and gas  does not
significantly affect the demand for well plugging services.

Liquid Services.  The Company provides vacuum truck services,  frac tank rentals
and salt water disposal  services  which  together  provide an integrated mix of
liquid services to well site customers.

Production  Testing Services.  Dawson owns 21 gas production  testing units that
are used to provide  services to oil and gas wells located onshore and in inland
waters.  Dawson performs  production  testing services for oil and gas producers
primarily along the Texas Gulf Coast.

Dawson's  equipment  includes  several  trailer-mounted  manifolds,  separators,
heater treaters, sand separators, light generators and slickline wireline units.
Manifolds  are used to reduce the flowing  pressure of the well stream to a rate
that will  easily flow  through  the  production  testing  equipment.  After the
appropriate well stream rate is achieved, a separator is used to divide the well
stream into its  respective  components -- oil, gas and water.  For gas wells, a
heater is used to prevent  the gas from  freezing  during  flowbacks.  Slickline
wireline equipment generally is used to lower measurement  equipment into a well
for several  days to  retrieve  data to  determine  the  characteristics  of the
reservoir.

Dawson  uses its  production  testing  units  to  perform  deliverability  tests
required  upon the  initial  completion  of a well and  periodically  during the
productive  life of a gas well to  determine  the maximum  production  allowable
under  certain  rules of the Texas  Railroad  Commission,  the state oil and gas
regulatory  agency.  In  addition,  these  units  are  used to  clean  and  test





stimulated  wells and to measure  the  pressure,  volume and  quality of gas and
liquids  produced by the well.  These units also are used to determine  the most
efficient  production flow rate, to run pressure build-up tests that measure the
rate of increase of shut-in gas pressure to determine reservoir  characteristics
and to determine whether a producing formation has been damaged.

Other Production  Services.  The Company  provides  production  services,  which
include hot oiler unit services,  pipeline  installation  and testing  services,
slickline wire-line services and fishing and rental tool services.

         Shallow Contract Drilling  Services The Company,  primarily through Clint Hurt,Key Energy Drilling,
owns and operates six71 drilling rigs and provides  contract  drilling services for
major and  independent oil companies primarily  in West  Texas.  On August 4, 1997,  the Company
         announced  it had  signed a letter of intent to acquire  BRW  Drilling,
         Inc.  ("BRW") for  approximately  $15.0 million in cash. BRW operates 7
         drilling rigsmost onshore oil and related equipment in the Permian Basin of West Texas.
         The closinggas producing areas
of the BRW  acquisition  is expected upon  negotiation of a
         definitive   agreement,   completion  of  the  Company's  standard  due
         diligence  and receipt of regulatory  clearances,  if any are required.
         Upon completion, the BRW acquisition will be combined with Clint Hurt's
         drilling  operations  in the  Permian  Basin  of West  Texas  to form a
         thirteen rig shallow drilling  operation.continental United States. The Company entered the land drilling business
in March 1995 with the  acquisition  of four drilling  rigs from an  independent
third  party  and,  as  the  result  of  the WellTech
         merger,subsequent  acquisitions,  acquired  two67
additional land drilling rigs.rigs (six of which operate in Argentina).  The rigs are
generally capable of drilling up to 10,000 feet.

Production  The Company is engaged in the  production  of oil and natural gas in
the  Permian  Basin  area of  West  Texas  through its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Odessa  Exploration.  Odessa
Exploration  acquires and manages  interests in producing oil and gas properties
for  its  own  account  and  for  drilling  partnerships  it  sponsors.   Odessa
Exploration  acquires  producing oil and gas wells and related  properties  from
major and independent producers and,  subsequently,  either reworks the acquired
wells  to  increase   production  or  forms  drilling  ventures  for  additional
development wells.  Odessa  Exploration  operates oil and gas wells on behalf of
over 250 working interest owners as well as for its own account.

Foreign  Operations The Company provides oil field services in Argentina through
its 63%
         ownership  (wholly-owned  as of July 1, 1997) of Servicios.  As of June 30, 1997,1998,  Servicios owned and operated ten16 well servicing
rigs and threesix drilling rigs in Argentina  (which  are  currently  idle  and
         undergoing refurbishment). On August 1, 1997, the Company completed the
         acquisition of Kenting Holdings  (Argentina) S.A. ("Kenting") for $10.1
         million in cash. The Kenting assets  included six oilwell service rigs,
         three  drilling rigs and related  equipment in  Argentina.  The Kenting
         assets are being  operated by  Servicios  and are expected to more than
         double the size of Servicios' operations based on revenues.

COMPETITION AND OTHER EXTERNAL FACTORS

Despite a significant amount of consolidation having occurred, the domestic well
service rig and production  service  industry  is still
         highlyremains  somewhat  fragmented and
includes a small number of companies  that are capable of competing  effectively
in all or part of the Company's well servicing markets. Nonetheless, the Company
believes that it is  competitive  in terms of pricing,  performance,  equipment,
safety,  availability  of equipment to meet customer needs and  availability  of
experienced, skilled personnel in those regions in which it operates.

In the well servicing  market, an important  competitive  factor in establishing
and  maintaining  long-term  customer  relationships  is having an  experienced,
skilled and well  trained work force.  In recent  years,  many of the  Company's
larger  customers have placed  emphasis not only on pricing,  but also on safety
records and quality management systems of contractors. The Company believes that
such  factors  will be of increased  importance  in the future.  The Company has
directed substantial  resources toward employee safety and training programs, as
well as its employee review process.  While the Company's efforts in these areas
are not unique,  many  competitors,  particularly  small  contractors,  have not
undertaken  similar training programs for their employees.  Management  believes
that the  Company's  safety  record and  reputation  for quality  equipment  and
service are among the best in the industry.

- 6 -
The Company  acquires  oil and gas  properties  from  independent  and major oil
companies and competes with other  independent  and integrated oil companies for
the acquisition of these properties.  The Company also competes with other local
oil and gas  drilling  contractors,  as well as  national  oil and gas  drilling
companies.  As with oil field services,  the need for drilling oil and gas wells
fluctuates, in part, based on the price of, and demand for, oil and natural gas.

The Company serves over 7501,000 customers in West Texas, East Texas, New Mexico,
    Oklahoma, Michigan,most oil and gas producing regions of
the Appalachian Basincontinental United States and Argentina with its two largest
    customers providing 13% and 7%,Argentina.  The Company had no single customer
in fiscal 1998 that provided 10% or more of total Company revenue during fiscal 1997.consolidated revenues.





The need for oilfield  services  fluctuates,  in part, in relation to the demand
for oil and natural gas. As demand for those commodities increases,  service and
maintenance  requirements  increase as oil and natural gas producers  attempt to
maximize the producing efficiency of their wells in a higher priced environment.

EMPLOYEES

As of June 30, 1997,1998,  the Company  employed 3,1755,601 persons (3,047(4,982 in well service
operations,  12 in oil and gas production,  105587 in contract drilling  operations
and 1120 in  corporate).  None  of  theThe Company's  employees are not  represented by a labor
union or  collective  bargaining  agent.  The  Company has  experienced  no work
stoppages  associated  with labor  disputes  or  grievances  and  considers  its
relations with its employees to be satisfactory.

REGULATIONS

The oilfield  service  operations  and the oil and gas  production  and drilling
activities of the Company are subject to various  local,  state and federal laws
and regulations  intended to protect the environment.  The Company's  operations
routinely involve the handling of waste materials,  some of which are classified
as  hazardous  substances.  Consequently,  the  regulations  applicable  to  the
Company's  operations  include those with respect to  containment,  disposal and
controlling   the   discharge  of  any  hazardous  oil  field  waste  and  other
non-hazardous waste material into the environment, requiring removal and cleanup
under  certain  circumstances,  or otherwise  relating to the  protection of the
environment.  Laws and regulations  protecting the environment  have become more
stringent  in recent  years,  and may in certain  circumstances  impose  "strict
liability,"  rendering a party liable for environmental damage without regard to
negligence  or fault on the part of such party.  Such laws and  regulations  may
expose the Company to  liability  for the conduct of, or  conditions  caused by,
others,  or for acts of the Company which were in compliance with all applicable
laws at the times such acts were performed.  Management of the Company  believes
that it is in substantial  compliance with all material federal, state and local
regulations as they relate to the environment. Although the Company has incurred
certain costs in complying with environmental laws and regulations, such amounts
have not been material to the Company's  financial conditionresults during the three past
fiscal years.

Management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with all known
material local, state and federal safety guidelines and regulations. In order to
comply  with such  safety  guidelines  and  regulations  and  increase  employee
awareness of on-the-job safety,  the Company employs eightseven safety officers.  The
Company also has a safety  training and education  center whichthat is used by it for
continued safety training and awareness.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. Special Note: Certain statements set forth below under this caption consitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Reform Act. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for additional factors relating to such statements. The following discussion provides information to assist in the understanding of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. Overview The Company experienced its most successful year during fiscal 1997. All regions have increased equipment use because of higher oil and gas prices, increased emphasis on horizontal drilling, lower production costs for major and independent oil and gas producers, renewed focus on domestic production and the effects of several new alliances the Company entered into with its customers. FluctuationsHistorically, fluctuations in well servicing activity have had a strong correlation with fluctuations in oil and gas prices. IfDuring fiscal 1998, oil and gas prices werehave decreased from an average of approximately $21 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate crude oil in July of 1997 to drop significantly from current levels,an average of approximately $12 per barrel in June of 1998. As a result, the Company would expectexperienced a decrease in demand for drilling and services which wouldservices. Even though the Company experienced a successful fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, in terms of earnings and earnings per share compared to previous years, continued low oil prices may continue to negatively affect the Company's operating performance. The Company seeks to minimize the effects of such low oil prices and fluctuations of pricing on its operations and financial condition through reduction of operating and capital costs, diversification of services, entry into new markets and customer alliances. FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 19971998 VERSUS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 19961997 Results of Operations Operating Income The Company Revenues for the year ended June 30, 1998 increased $257,621,000, or 159%, from $162,425,000 in fiscal 1997 to $420,046,000 in fiscal 1998, while net income for fiscal 1998 increased $15,077,000, or 166% , from $9,098,000 in fiscal 1997 to $24,175,000 in fiscal 1998. The increase was primarily due to well service and oil and gas well drilling acquisitions throughout the year and increased well service and oil and gas drilling revenues from existing equipment through the third quarter of fiscal 1998. Oilfield Services Oilfield service revenues for the year ended June 30, 1998 increased $230,460,000, or 160%, from $144,385,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997 to $374,845,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998. The increase is primarily attributable to acquisitions throughout the year and higher equipment use through the third quarter of fiscal 1998 resulting from an increase in demand for oilfield services. Oil and Natural Gas Well Drilling Revenues from oil and gas well drilling activities increased $25,139,000, or 253%, from $9,956,000 during the year ended June 30, 1997 to $35,095,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998. The increase was primarily the result of acquisitions. Oil and Natural Gas Exploration and Production Revenues from oil and gas activities increased $55,000, or 1%, from $6,975,000 during the year ended June 30, 1997 to $7,030,000 for the current year. The increase was primarily the result of increased production in the current year which was partially offset with a decrease in the average price of oil and natural gas for fiscal 1998 as compared to fiscal 1997. Operating Expenses Oilfield Services Oilfield service expenses for the year ended June 30, 1998 increased $159,129,000, or 159%, from $100,366,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997 to $259,495,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998. The increase was due primarily to acquisitions made throughout the fiscal year and the increased demand for oilfield services through the third quarter of fiscal 1998. Oil and Natural Gas Well Drilling Expenses related to oil and gas well drilling activities increased $18,318,000, or 225%, from $8,155,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997 to $26,473,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998. The increase was primarily the result of acquisitions throughout fiscal 1998. Oil and Natural Gas Exploration and Production Expenses related to oil and gas activities increased $253,000, or 9%, from $2,729,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997 to $2,983,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in the total number of producing oil and gas wells from fiscal 1997 to 1998. Depreciation and Depletion Expense Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased $19,925,000, or 180%, from $11,076,000 for fiscal 1997 to $31,001,000 for fiscal 1998.

The increase in income taxes is primarily due to the increase in operating income. However, the Company does not expect to be required to remit the total amount of the $14,630,000 in total federal income taxes for fiscal year 1998 because of the availability of net operating loss carryforwards and accelerated depreciation. Cash Flow Net cash provided by operating activities increased $32,193,000, or 1,493%, from $2,156,000 during fiscal 1997 to $34,349,000 for fiscal 1998.

The increase was primarily due to oilwellwell service acquisitions throughout the year, increased oil and gas revenues from Odessa Exploration, and increased oil and gas drilling revenues. Oilfield Services Oilfield service revenues for the year ended June 30, 1997 increased $88,452,000, or 158%, from $55,933,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996 to $144,385,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to acquisitions throughout the year and higher equipment use resulting from an increase in demand for oilfield services. Oil and Natural Gas Exploration and Production Revenues from oil and gas activities increased $4,005,000,$3,421,000, or 96%, from $4,175,000$3,554,000 during the year ended June 30, 1996 to $8,180,000$6,975,000 for the current year. The increase was primarily the result of increased production of oil and natural gas from several wells that were drilled and began production during fiscal 1997, higher oil and natural gas prices for fiscal 1997, and the April 1996 purchase of $6.9 million of oil and gas properties from an unrelated third party. Of the total $8,180,000 of revenues for the year ended June 30, 1997, approximately $6,975,000 was from the sale of oil and gas and $1,205,000 represented primarily administrative fee income. - 12 - Oil and Natural Gas Well Drilling Revenues from oil and gas well drilling activities increased $3,768,000, or 61%, from $6,188,000 during the year ended June 30, 1996 to $9,956,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997. The increase was primarily the result of increased oilwellwell drilling activity and an increase in the Company's pricing structure. Operating Expenses Oilfield Services Oilfield service expenses for the year ended June 30, 1997 increased $59,629,000, or 146%, from $40,737,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996 to $100,366,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997. The increase was due primarily to acquisitions made throughout the fiscal year and the increased demand for oilfield services. In addition, the Company has continued to expand its services, offering fishing tools, blow-out preventers and oilwell frac tanks. Oil and Natural Gas Exploration and Production Expenses related to oil and gas activities increased $1,680,000,$1,534,000, or 124%128%, from $1,350,000$1,195,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996 to $3,030,000$2,729,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997. The increase was primarily the result of costs associated with several oil and natural gas wells that were drilled and began productingproducing during fiscal 1997 and the April 1996 purchase of $6.9 million in oil and gas properties. Oil and Natural Gas Well Drilling Expenses related to oil and gas well drilling activities increased $3,125,000, or 62%, from $5,030,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996 to $8,155,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997.

However, the Company does not expect to be required to remit a significant amount of the $5,500,000$5,573,000 in total federal income taxes for fiscal year 1997 because of the availability of net operating loss carryforwards, accelerated depreciation and drilling tax credits. Cash Flow Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $4,965,000, or 70%, from $7,121,000 during fiscal 1996 to $2,156,000 for fiscal 1997. The decrease is attributable primarily to increases in accounts receivable, decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, but was partially offsetoff set by increases in depreciation and net income. Net cash used in investing activities increased $68,511,000, or 506%, from $13,551,000 for fiscal 1996 to $82,062,000 for fiscal 1997. The increase is primarily the result of increased capital expenditures for oilwellwell service operations and oilwellwell service acquisitions. Net cash provided by financing activities was $117,399,000 for fiscal 1997 as compared to $9,366,000 for fiscal 1996, which represents an increase of $108,033,000, or 1,153%. The increase, which is partially offset by repayments of long-term debt, is primarily the result of proceeds from the existing Debentures and commercial paper during the current fiscal year. - 14 - FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VERSUS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 Operating Income The Company Revenues for the year ended June 30, 1996 increased $21,789,000, or 49%, from $44,689,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995 to $66,478,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996, while net income increased $1,408,000, or 65%, from $2,178,000 in fiscal 1995 to $3,586,000 in fiscal 1996. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the acquisition of Clint Hurt Drilling in March 1995, whose operations were only included for one quarter in the 1995 year-end results, increased oil and gas revenues from Odessa Exploration and increased oilwell service equipment use and the acquisition of WellTech. The increase in fiscal year 1996 net income over fiscal year 1995 net income was partially attributable to the inclusion of Clint Hurt Drilling and the acquisition of WellTech Eastern, but also was a result of an increase in oilwell service equipment use and a decrease in total consolidated Company costs and expenses as a percentage of total revenues. Oilfield Services Oilfield service revenues for the year ended June 30, 1996 increased $15,828,000, or 40%, from $40,105,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995 to $55,933,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to higher equipment use resulting from an increase in demand for oilfield services and the acquisition of WellTech Eastern, whose operating results were included for the period of March 26, 1996 to June 30, 1996. Oil and Natural Gas Exploration and Production Revenues from oil and gas activities increased $1,841,000, or 79%, from $2,334,000 during the year ended June 30, 1995 to $4,175,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996. The increase in revenues was primarily the result of increased production of oil and natural gas from several wells that were drilled during 1996, higher oil and natural gas prices during 1995 and the April 1996 purchase of $6.9 million of oil and gas properties from an unrelated third party. Of the total $4,175,000 of revenues for the year ended June 30, 1996, approximately $3,554,000 was from the sale of oil and gas and the remaining $621,000 was attributable primarily to administrative fee income and other miscellaneous income. Oil and Natural Gas Well Drilling Oil and natural gas well drilling operations are performed by Clint Hurt Drilling which was acquired in March 1995. Comparable numbers for the prior year are, therefore, not available. Revenues for the year ended June 30, 1996 were $6,188,000. Operating Expenses Oilfield Services Oilfield service expenses for the year ended June 30, 1996 increased $10,145,000, or 33%, from $30,592,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995 to $40,737,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996. The increase was due primarily to the acquisition of WellTech Eastern on March 26, 1996, and an increased demand for oilfield services. - 15 - Oil and Natural Gas Exploration and Production Expenses related to oil and gas activities increased $593,000, or 78%, from $757,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995 to $1,350,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996. The increase was primarily the result of increased production of oil and natural gas from several wells that were drilled during fiscal 1996 and the April 1996 purchase of $6.9 million in oil and gas properties. Oil and Natural Gas Well Drilling Clint Hurt Drilling was acquired in March 1995. Comparable numbers for the prior year are, therefore, not available. Expenses for the year ended June 30, 1996 were $5,030,000. Depreciation and Depletion Expense Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased $1,963,000, or 72%, from $2,738,000 for fiscal 1995 to $4,701,000 for fiscal 1996. The increase was primarily due to oilfield service depreciation expense, which resulted from an increase in oilfield service capital expenditures for the 1996 period versus the prior period and the acquisition of WellTech and Clint Hurt. In addition, depletion expense increased for the period due to the increase in the production of oil and natural gas. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses increased $2,256,000, or 52%, from $4,352,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995 to $6,608,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of contract drilling assets, the subsequent inclusion of general and administrative expenses related to contract drilling operations and the acquisition of WellTech Eastern. Interest Expense Interest expense increased $999,000, or 68%, from $1,478,000 for fiscal 1995 to $2,477,000 for fiscal 1996. The increase was primarily the result of acquisitions and the addition of certain oil and gas properties that were financed with proceeds from borrowings. Income Taxes Income tax expense for fiscal 1996 increased $738,000, or 64%, from $1,150,000 in fiscal 1995 to $1,888,000 in fiscal 1996. The increase was primarily due to an increase in operating income. However, the Company was not required to remit a significant amount of the $1,888,000 in total federal income taxes for fiscal year 1996 because of the availability of net operating loss carryforwards, accelerated depreciation and drilling tax credits. Cash Flow Net cash provided by operating activities increased $3,863,000, or 119%, from $3,258,000 during fiscal 1995 to $7,121,000 for fiscal 1996. The increase was attributable primarily to increases in net income. Net cash used in investing activities increased $6,397,000, or 89%, from $7,154,000 for fiscal 1995 to $13,551,000 for fiscal 1996. The increase was primarily the result of increased capital expenditures for oil and gas properties and costs associated with the acquisition of WellTech. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in oilfield service capital expenditures. - 16 - Net cash provided by financing activities increased $5,368,000, or 134%, from $3,998,000 in fiscal 1995 to $9,366,000 in fiscal 1996. The increase is primarily the result of increased principal payments during fiscal 1996. This increase in principal payments was somewhat offset by an increase in proceeds from long-term debt during fiscal 1996 as the result of the purchase of oil and gas properties by Odessa Exploration and the acquisition of WellTech. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's cash and cash equivalents increaseddecreased by $37.5$16.4 million for the year ended June 30, 19971998 from $4.2 million as of June 30, 1996 to $41.7 million as of June 30, 1997. This increase was primarily the result1997 to $25.3 million as of proceeds from the Bank Credit Agreement.June 30, 1998. The Company has projected, $20without consideration of acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 1998, $51 million for oilfield service capital expenditures for fiscal 19981999 as compared to $15.1$44.3 million and $5.2$15 million in fiscal 19971998 and 1996,1997, respectively. Odessa Exploration has projected outlays of approximately $10$6 million in development costs for fiscal 1998,1999, as compared to $8.2$7.8 million and $9.8$8.2 million in fiscal 1998 and 1997, and 1996, respectively. Clint Hurt Drilling has forecast approximately $2 million forThe Company's oil and gas well drilling operations have forecast approximately $5 million for capital expenditures for fiscal 1998,1999, primarily for improvements to existing equipment and machinery, as compared to $1.5$5.4 million for fiscal 19971998 and $598,000$1.5 million in fiscal 1996.1997. The Company expects to finance these capital expenditures and development costs using cash flows from operations and available credit. The Company believes that its cash flows and, to the extent required, borrowings under the BankSecond Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to fund such expenditures. Debt InOn June 6, 1997, the Company entered into the Credit Agreementan agreement (the "Bank"Initial Credit Agreement") with PNC Bank, N.A. ("PNC"), as administrative agent, Norwest Bank Texas, N.A., as collateral agent, Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc., as advisor, arranger and a syndication agent and theof other lenders named therein pursuant to which the lenders provided a $255 million credit facility, consisting of a $120 million seven-year term loan and a $135 million five-year revolver. The interest rate on the term loan was LIBOR plus 2.75 percent. The interest rate on the revolver varied based on LIBOR and the level of the Company's indebtedness. The Initial Credit Agreement contained certain restrictive covenants and required the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. On September 25, 1997, the Company repaid the term loan and a portion of the then outstanding amounts under the revolver by applying the proceeds from the initial and second closings of the Company's private placement of $216 million of 5% Convertible Subordinated Notes (discussed below). Effective November 6, 1997, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with PNC (the "Amended PNC Credit Agreement"), as administrative agent and lender, pursuant to which PNC agreed to make availablerevolving credit loans of up to a maximum loan commitment of $200 million. The maximum commitment decreases to $175 million on November 6, 2000 and to $125 million on November 6, 2001. The loan commitment terminates on November 6, 2002. Borrowings under the credit facility may be either (i) Eurodollar Loans with interest currently payable quarterly at LIBOR plus 1.25% subject to adjustment based on certain financial ratios, (ii) Base Rate Loans with interest payable quarterly at the greater of PNC Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2%, or (iii) a combination thereof, at the Company's option. The Amended PNC Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants and requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. A change of control of the Company, as defined in the Amended PNC Credit Agreement, is an event of default. Borrowings under the Amended PNC Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. Effective December 3, 1997, PNC completed the syndication of the Amended PNC Credit Agreement. In connection therewith, PNC, as administrative agent, a syndication of lenders and the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Compaany a five-year revolving credit faciltyAmended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amendment to Amended PNC Credit Agreement") providing for, among other things, an increase in the amountmaximum commitment to $250 million from $200 million.

The amount of letters of credit outstanding from time to time reduces the amount of revolving credit loans which may be outstanding. Revolving credit loans incurredplacements were made as private offerings pursuant to Rule 144A under the BankSecurities Act of 1933. The Notes are subordinate to the Company's senior indebtedness, which, as defined in the indenture under which the Notes were issued, includes the borrowings under the Amended PNC Credit Agreement, will bear interest,as amended. The Notes are convertible, at the holder's option, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $38.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Notes are redeemable, at the Company's option, on or after September 15, 2000, in whole or part, together with accrued and unpaid interest. The initial redemption price is 102.86% for the year beginning September 15, 2000 and declines ratably thereafter on an annual basis.

Impact of SFAS 121 As of July 1, 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of ("SFASFAS 121"). Consequently, the Company reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including oil and gas properties accounted for under the successful efforts method of accounting, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are to be accounted for at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell when management has committed to a plan to dispose of the assets. All companies, including successful efforts oil and gas companies, are required to adopt SFASFAS 121 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. In order to determine whether an impairment had occurred, the Company estimated the expected future cash flows of its income producing equipment and oil and gas properties and compared such future cash flows to the carrying amount of the asset to determine if the carrying amount was recoverable. Based on this process, no writedown in the carrying amount of the Company's property was necessary at June 30, 1997.1998. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued the following accounting standards which will be adopted by the Company in the future. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128") - Earnings per Share, is effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 1997. FAS 128 replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share ("EPS") with the presentation of basic EPS, which excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. SFAS 128 also requires dual presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement and requires a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic EPS and diluted EPS.The Company will adopt SFAS 128 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130") - Reporting Comprehensive Income, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. Specifially, SFAS 130 requires that an enterprise (i) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (ii) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is required. The Company will adopt SFAS 130 forin the first quarter of its fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131") - Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way that company's report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those company's report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. This statement also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. SFAS 131 need not be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year of its application. However, comparative information for interim periods in the initial year of application is to be reported in the financial statements for interim periods in the second year of application. The Company will adopt SFAS 131 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. Management believes the adoption of SFAS 128, SFAS 130 and SFAS 131 will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations of the Company. Impact of Inflation on Operations Management is of the opinion that inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's business. - 18 - Year 2000 Issue As a result of the acquisitions completed by the Company over the past twenty-four months, the Company utilizes several management information systems in connection with its business operations and financial reporting process. The Company made an assessment of its Year 2000 issues, and determined that many of these management information systems would be adversely impacted by the arrival of the Year 2000. Accordingly, for operational efficiency, and to prevent any adverse impacts that may result from the arrival of the Year 2000, the Company is currently implementing a new integrated management information system along with updated hardware that will replace most of the systems currently utilized. The implementation of the new management information system, which is Year 2000 compliant, began in July of 1998 and is scheduled to be completed by June of 1999, assuming no unforeseen circumstances which are beyond the Company's control. Year 2000 issues as they relate to suppliers and customers remain to be evaluated by the Company. However, based on current available information, the Company does not anticipate that the costs associated with any necessary modifications will be material to the Company's operations or financial condition. The cost of the new management information system, (a large part of which management expects will be capitalized) is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's business, operations or results thereof, financial condition, liquidity or capital resources.

(see Note 2) Basis of Presentation The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accounting policies presented below have been followed in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company's ownership of less than 50% owned entities are accounted for by the cost or equity methods, depending on the Company's ownership percentage. Estimates and Uncertainties Preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Inventories Inventories, which consist primarily of oilwellwell service parts and supplies areand those parts and supplies held for use insale at the operations of Key andCompany's various retail supply stores, are valued at the lower of average cost or market. Property and Equipment The Company provides for depreciation and amortization of non-oilwell service and gas propertiesrelated equipment using the straight-line method, with an overall average salvage value of approximately 10%, over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: (table follows on next page) - 24 - Key Energy Group Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued) Description Years ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oilfield service equipment 3 - 20 Oil and gas well drilling equipment 3 - 15 Motor vehicles 3 - 7 Furniture and equipment 3 - 10 Buildings and improvements 10 - 40 Gas processing facilities 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upon disposition or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss thereon, if any, is included in the results of operations. Odessa Exploration utilizes the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas properties. Under this method, all costs associated with productive wells and nonproductive development wells are capitalized, while nonproductive exploration costs and geological and geophysical costs (if any), are expensed. Capitalized costs relating to proved properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method. Upon disposition, the carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related allowance for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain/loss is included in results of operations. Gas Balancing DeferredAs of July 1, 1997 the Company changed their method of calculating depreciation on its oil and gas well drilling rigs from the straight-line method to the units-of-production method. The new method takes into consideration the number of days the rigs are actually in service each month and depreciation is recorded for at least 15 days each month for each rig that is available for service. The Company believes the new method will more appropriately reflect its financial results by better matching of revenues with expenses and to better reflect how the assets are to be used over time. The effect of this change on net income associated with gas balancing is accounted for on the entitlements method1998, 1997 and represents amounts received for gas sold under gas balancing arrangements in excess of Odessa Exploration's interest in properties covered by such agreements.

Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a noncapital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated.

Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or Key Energy Group Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued) settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recognized when it is "more likely than not" that the benefit of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company and its eligible subsidiaries file a consolidated U. S. federal income tax return. Certain subsidiaries that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes are not eligible to be included in the consolidated U. S. federal income tax return and separate provisions for income taxes have been determined for these entities or groups of entities. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. The Company restricts investment of temporary cash investments to financial institutions with high credit standing and by policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The Company's customer base consists primarily of multi-national, foreign national and independent oil and natural gas producers. See Note 12 for additional information regarding customers which accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral on its trade receivables. Such credit risk is considered by management to be limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses have been within management's expectations. - 26 - Key Energy Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued) Impact of SFAS 121 On July 1, 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of ("SFASFAS 121").

Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock option awards. If compensation expense for the stock option awards had been determined consistent with SFAS 123, the Company's net income and net income per share, for the years ended June 30, 19971998 and 19961997 would have been adjusted to the following pro forma amounts: (unaudited) Year Ended June 30, 1998 1997 1996 ---- ------------------------------------------------------------ Net income (in thousands) $22,452 $8,680 $2,945 PrimaryBasic net income per share $ 1.31 $ 0.71 $ 0.37 Fully-dilutedDiluted net income per share $ 0.611.14 $ 0.350.61 The pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share amounts noted above are not likely to be representative of the pro forma amounts to be reported in future years. Pro forma adjustments in future years will include compensation expense associated with the options granted in fiscal year 19961998 and 1997 plus compensation expense associated with any options awarded in future years. As a result, such pro forma compensation expense is likely to be higher than the levels reflected for 19961998 and 1997 if any options are awarded in future years. Under SFAS 123, the fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grant in 1998 and 1997: Key Energy Group Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued) 1998 1997 and 1996: 1997 1996 ---- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Risk-free interest rate 5.79% 6.59% 6.54% Expected life 5 years 5 years Expected volatility 136% 28% 29% Expected dividend yield 0% 0% The total fair value of options granted at June 30, 1998 and 1997 is $6,541,000. - 37 - Key Energy Group, Inc.$14,098,000 and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)$6,541,000, respectively. 9.

In the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, based on the Board's review of competitive bids, this transaction was on terms at least as favorable to the Company as could have been obtained from a third party. In connection with the Odessa Exploration acquisition, (see Note 2) the Company granted D. Kirk Edwards (President of Odessa Exploration) a percentage reversionary working interest in five deep gas wells located in West Texas upon repayment of $1,622,000 of the bank debt assumed by the Company in the acquisition from the Company's earnings from the five wells. The percentage reversionary working interest decreases based on the date of repayment of the assumed bank debt and ranges from 20% of the earnings from the five wells if repayment occurs on or prior to July 7, 1995, to 5% of the earnings from the five wells if repayment occurs after July 7, 1996. Key leases automotive equipment from an independent third party (see Note 10). The independent third party purchases the automotive equipment from an automobile dealership in which a former officer owns a majority interest.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The Company has a concentration of customers in the oil and gas industry. Substantially all of the Company's customers are major integrated oil companies, major independent producers of oil and gas and smaller independent producers. This may affect the Company's overall exposure to credit risk either positively or negatively, in as much as its customers are effected by economic conditions in the oil and gas industry, which has historically been cyclical. However, accounts receivable are well diversified among many customers and a significant portion of the receivables are from major oil companies, which management believes minimizes potential credit risk. Historically, credit losses have been insignificant. Receivables are generally not collateralized, although the Company may generally secure a receivable at any time by filing a mechanic's and material-mans' lien on the well serviced. 15.

Odessa Exploration acquires and manages interests in producing oil and gas properties for its own account and for its sponsored investors. Odessa Exploration is engaged in the drilling and production of oil and natural gas in the United States. Odessa Exploration acquires producing oil and gas properties from major and independent producers. After acquisition, Odessa Exploration may either rework the acquired wells to increase production and/or form drilling partnerships for additional development wells. Oil and gas well drilling services are conducted primarily by Clint HurtKey Energy Drilling. Clint HurtKey Energy Drilling operates sixforty drilling rigs which drill for oil and gas in the West Texas and New Mexico area. 16. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage well-defined commodity price risks. The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to its commodity hedges. The Company anticipates, however, that such counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. The Company does not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk but monitors the credit standing of the counterparties. The Company utilizes option contracts to hedge the effect of price changes on future oil and gas production. If market prices of oil and gas exceed the strike price of put options, the options will expire unexercised, therefore reducing the effective price received for oil and gas sales by the cost of the related option. As of June 30, 1996, Odessa Exploration had 6,000 Bbls of oil per month hedged with a strike price of $19.50 per Bbl., from the period of July 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996. Premiums paid for commodity options contracts are amortized to oil and gas sales over the terms of the agreements. Unamortized premiums of $91,789 and $0 are included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Amounts receivable, if any, under commodity option contracts are accrued as an increase in oil and gas sales for the applicable periods. - 42 - Key Energy Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued) 17.

Oil and Gas Reserve Information Estimates of Odessa Exploration's proved oil and gas reserves as of June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were prepared by the Company and reviewed by an independent petroleum reservoir engineering firm. Estimates were made in accordance with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, i.e. prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices utilized reflect consideration of changes in existing prices provided by contractual arrangements, if any, but not of escalations based upon future conditions. The reserve estimates are presented utilizing an average oil price of $21.00 Bbl and an average natural gas price of $2.20 Mcf as of June 30, 1997. - 47 - Key Energy Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued) Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing equipment and operating methods. Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion or secondary or tertiary recovery. Reserves assigned to undrilled acreage are limited to those drilling units that offset productive units reasonably certain of production when drilled. No major discovery or other favorable or adverse event has occurred since July 1, 1997 which is believed to have caused a significant change in the estimated proved oil and gas reserves of Odessa Exploration. Odessa Exploration's estimate of reserves has not been filed with or included in reports to any federal agency other than the Securities and Exchange Commission. Oil and gas reserve quantity estimates are subject to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. The accuracy of such estimates is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of subsequent drilling, testing and production may cause either upward or downward revision of previous estimates. Further, the volumes considered to be commercially recoverable fluctuate with changes in prices and operating costs. The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of currently producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as additional information becomes available in the future.

June 30, 1997 information is not included, as during the current year oil and gas producing activities are no longer considered significant in accordance with reporting requirements under FAS 14 - Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise. Estimated future cash flows are determined using year-end prices adjusted only for fixed and determinable increases for natural gas provided by contractual agreement (if any). Estimated future production and development costs are based on economic conditions at year-end. Future federal income taxes are computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the difference between the future pretax net cash flows and the tax basis of proved oil and gas properties, after considering investment tax credits and net operating loss carry-forwards (if any), associated with these properties. Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties. Estimates of fair value should also consider probable reserves, anticipated future oil and gas prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations, any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.
