available accounts receivable or $7 million; whichever is less.
At September 30,December 31, 1995, there was no credit line availability.
The agreement with C.I.T. includes certain restrictive
covenants, the most restrictive of which prohibits Yale E. Key
from making distributions and declaring dividends on Yale E.
Key's common stock.
The OEI loan agreement, as amended, with Norwest Bank Texas,
N.A. ("Norwest") provides for a $7.5 million revolving line of
credit note subject to a borrowing base limitation
(approximately $5.5$6.5 million at September 30,December 31, 1995). The
borrowing base is redetermined on at least a semi-annual basis.
The borrowing base is reduced by approximately $60,000 per month
through October 1997; the maturity of the note. The note's
interest rate is Norwest's prime rate (9.0%(8.5% at September 30,December 31,
1995) plus one-half percent. The note is
secured by substantially all of the oil and gas properties of
OEI and the pledge of certain collateral by current and former
officers and directors of Key. As of December 31, 1995, Norwest
waived the Company.pledge of collateral and released the collateral to
the seven individuals who had pledged it. The note is also
guaranteed by the Company.Key.
The loan agreement contains various restrictive covenants and
compliance requirements, including covenants which (a) prohibit
OEI from declaring or paying dividends on OEI's common stock,

- 8 -Each of Key (and Yale E. Key and Clint Hurt) and WellTech
recently entered into new credit facilities of approximately
$17.5 million (subject to certain advance formulas) the proceeds
of the initial borrowings of which were used to repay
substantially all of the debt of Key (other than that of OEI)
and Welltech (other than that of certain affiliates),
respectively. Key believes that such a facility will provide
sufficient funds to finance its operating and capital
expenditure needs for the foreseeable future. The new
indebtedness will be the obligation of Key, as survivor of the
merger, and Key's subsidiaries, Yale E. Key and Clint Hurt. The
cross-guaranty and cross-collateralization arrangement could, if
the merger is not consummated, create contingent liabilities for
each of Key and WellTech. The failure to consummate the merger
on or prior to April 30, 1996 will, at the option of the lender,
constitute an event of default under the new indebtedness if
WellTech fails to refinance its credit agreement on or before
July 31, 1996 or Key fails to continue to operate Welltech
pursuant to the Interim Operations Agreement. Key and WellTech
have agreed not to terminate the Interim Operations Agreement
without the consent of the lender. (See Note 2, "The Merger)

Various suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of
business are pending against the Company.Key. Management does not believe
that the disposition of any of these suits or claims will
result in a material adverse impact on the consolidated
financial position of the Company.Key.
During August 1995, the CompanyKey entered into employment agreements with
certain of its officers. These employment agreements generally
run to June 30, 1998, but will automatically be extended on a
yearly basis unless terminated by the CompanyKey or the applicable officer.
In addition to providing a base salary for each officer, the
employment agreements provide for severance payments for each
officer varying from 12 to 36 months of the officersofficer's base
salary. The current annual base salaries for the officer'sofficers
covered under such employment agreements total approximately
$800,000.

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,DECEMBER 31, 1995 VERSUS QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,DECEMBER 31, 1994
Overview
The following discussion provides information to assist in the
understanding of the Company'sKey Energy Group, Inc.s ("Key") financial
condition and results of operations. It should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes
appearing elsewhere in this report.
Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30,December
31, 1995 include the
Company'sKey's oilfield well service operations
conducted by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Yale E. Key, Inc.
("Yale E. Key"), its oil and natural gas exploration and
production operations conducted by its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Odessa Exploration Inc. ("OEI") and Key Energy Drilling, Inc.
d/b/a Clint Hurt Drilling ("Clint Hurt Drilling") which is
engaged in oil and natural gas well contract drilling and was
acquired in March 1995.
Historically, fluctuations in oilfield well service operations
and oil and gas well contract drilling activity have been
closely linked to fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas
prices. However, the Company,Key, through customer alliances and
agreements, and diversification of services, is seeking to
minimize the effects of such fluctuations on the Company'sKey's results of
operations and financial condition.
Results of Operations
The CompanyKey
Revenues of the CompanyKey for the three months ended September 30,December 31, 1995
increased 11%15% to $12,398,000$12,394,000 from $11,181,000$10,781,000 for the comparable
1994 period, while net income of $726,000$768,000 increased 40%56% over the
prior year.year total of $492,000. The increase in revenues was
primarily due to the addition of Clint Hurt Drilling on April 1,
1995, whose operations were not included in the prior year
quartequarter results. The improvement in quarterly net income is
partially attributable to the inclusion of Clint Hurt Drilling,
but is also a result of an increase in net income fromfor OEI and a
decrease in total consolidated CompanyKey costs and expenses declining as a
percent of total revenues.

Yale E. Key, Inc.
Oilfield service revenue declined 9% from $10,665,000$10,258,000 for the
prior quarter to $9,767,000$9,381,000 for the current quarter. The
decline is primarily attributable to curtailed equipment
utilization as the result of adverse weather conditions. Despite weather conditions and a
slight decline in demand. Yale E. Key averaged an 85%81% equipment
utilization for the quarter; and due to lower expenses and costs, the the
gross margin increased from 21% to 25% of revenues for the current quarter due
to the continued diversification of services into higher margin
business segments such as oilfield frac tanks, oilfield fishing
tools and trucking operations.operations, the gross margin increased from
21% to 24% of revenues for the current quarter
Odessa Exploration, Inc.
Revenues from oil and gas activities increased 77%48% from $462,000$615,000
in the 1994 quarter to $816,000$911,000 for the current quarter despite
relatively constant crude oil and lower natural gas prices; an average of $17.50 per barrel and $1.25
per mcf during the current quarter compared to $17.42 per barrel and $1.72
per mcf during the same period last year.prices. The
increase in revenues was primarily the result of increased
production of oil and natural gas as several oil and natural gas
wells which were drilled began production during the 1995
quarter.
Of the total $816,000$911,000 of revenues for the quarter ended September 30,December
31, 1995, approximately $574,000$734,000 was from the sale of oil and
gas - 21,49422,857 barrels of oil at an average price of $16.80$15.57 per
barrel and 255,949223,200 MCF of natural gas at an average price of

primarily administrative fee income.
Clint Hurt Drilling
Clint Hurt Drilling was acquired in March 1995 comparable1995. Comparable

ended September 30,December 31, 1995 as compared with the prior period. The
increase is primarily due to oilfield service depreciation
- 11 -expense, which is the result of increased capital expenditure

the quarter due to the increase in the production of oil and
natural gas.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for Key increased 54%28% from $284,000$343,000 during the
three months ended September 30,December 31, 1994 to $438,000$439,000 for the

$196,000$75,000 in net cash used by operations during the three months
ended September 30,December 31, 1994 to $1,235,000$1,811,000 in net cash provided by
operations for the current period. The increase is attributable
primarily to lower increasedecrease in accounts receivablepayable and accrued
expenses and higher net income and depreciation expense over the
same period last year.
- 12 -
Net cash used in investing activities increased from $1,400,000$1,717,000
for the three months ended September 30,December 31, 1994 to $1,947,000$2,297,000 for
the current period. The increase is primarily the result of
increased expenditures for oil and gas properties; which is partially offset by a decrease in capital
expenditures for the oilwell service operations.properties. In addition,
net cash used in investing activities for the current quarter
included $140,000$220,000 used in the oil and gas well drilling
operations.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $335,000was $543,000, a
$1,370,000 decrease, for the three months ended September 30,December 31,
1995 as compared to $877,000$1,913,000 for the comparable quarter. The
decrease is primarily the result of increased principal payments
made during the current quarter versus the prior quarter and a
decrease in proceeds from long-term debt during the current
quarter. Such proceeds were primarily used for the oil and
natural gas drilling program conducted by OEI.
Cash increased $57,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1995, as compared to a net increase in cash of $121,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1994.
SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1994
Results of Operations
Key
Revenues of Key for the six months ended December 31, 1995
increased 13% to $24,792,000 from $21,962,000 for the comparable
1994 period, while net income of $1,494,000 increased 48% over
the prior six month total of $1,011,000. The increase in
revenues was primarily due to the addition of Clint Hurt
Drilling on April 1, 1995, whose operations were not included in
the prior year quarter results. The improvement in quarterly
net income is partially attributable to the inclusion of Clint
Hurt Drilling, but is also a result of an increase in net income
for OEI and a decrease in total consolidated Key costs and
expenses as a percent of total revenues.
Yale E. Key, Inc.
Oilfield service revenue declined $1,775,000 or 9% from
$20,923,000 for the prior period to $19,148,000 for the current
period. The decline is primarily attributable to curtailed
equipment utilization as the result of adverse weather
conditions and a slight decline in demand. Yale E. Key averaged
an 82% equipment utilization for the six months; and due to
lower expenses, and due to the continued diversification of
services into higher margin business segments such as oilfield
frac tanks, oilfield fishing tools and trucking operations, the
gross margin increased from 21% to 24% of revenues for the
current quarter
Odessa Exploration, Inc.
Revenues from oil and gas activities increased 60% from
$1,077,000 in the 1994 period to $1,727,000 for the current six
month period despite relatively constant crude oil and lower
natural gas prices. The increase in revenues was primarily the
result of increased production of oil and natural gas as several
oil and natural gas wells which were drilled began production
during the 1996 period.
Of the total $1,727,000 of revenues for the six months ended
December 31, 1995, approximately $1,308,000 was from the sale of
oil and gas - 44,351 barrels of oil at an average price of
$16.19 per barrel and 479,149 MCF of natural gas at an average
price of $1.62 per MCF. The remaining $419,000 of revenues
represented primarily administrative fee income.

increased $549,000 or 44% from $1,245,000 to $1,794,000 during
the six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared with the
prior period. The increase is primarily due to oilfield service
depreciation expense, which is the result of increased capital
expenditure depreciation for the current period versus the prior
period. In addition, depletion expense generated by OEI
increased for the period due to the increase in the production
of oil and natural gas.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for Key increased 40% from $627,000 during the
six months ended December 31, 1994 to $877,000 for the current

ended December 31, 1995 as compared to $1,822,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1994. The increase can be primarily
attributed to the acquisition and subsequent inclusion of Clint
Hurt Drilling's general and administrative expenses.

ended December 31, 1995, which was an increase of $737,000 or
50% over the comparable quarter of $1,487,000. The increase in
net income before income taxes was primarily due to the addition of Clint
Hurt Drilling (see Note 2) and increased oil and gas revenues.
Net income for the six months ended December 31, 1995 was
$1,494,000, which was a $483,000 or 48% increase from $1,011,000
for the six months ended December 31, 1994.
Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operations increased $2,925,000 from
$121,000 during the six months ended December 31, 1994 to
$3,046,000 for the current period. The increase is attributable
primarily to lower decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses and higher net income and depreciation expense over the
same period last year.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $1,127,000 or
36% from $3,117,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1994
to $4,244,000 for the current period. The increase is primarily
the result of increased expenditures for oil and gas properties.

current period included $360,000 used in the oil and gas well
drilling operations.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $878,000, a
$1,912,000 decrease, for the six months ended December 31, 1995
as compared to $2,790,000 for the comparable period. The
decrease is primarily the result of increased principal payments

Yale E. Key has projected $2.5 million for oilwell service
capital expenditures over the next1996 fiscal year as compared to
$2.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995. Capital
expenditures are expected to be primarily capitalized
improvement costs (totaling over $5,000) to existing equipment
and machinery. Capital expenditures are expected to decrease
from fiscal 1995 levels due to lowerless capital improvements in 1995 compared with 1994
for the
acquired WellTech operations of West Texas operations acquired in August 1994.Texas. Financing forof
capital expenditures is expected to come from the operating cash
flows of Yale E. Key. Capital expenditures were $886,000$1,418,000 for

$17.5 million (subject to certain advance formulas) the proceeds
of the initial borrowings of which were used to repay
substantially all of the debt of Key (other than that of OEI)
and Welltech (other than that of certain affiliates),
respectively. Key believes that such a facility will provide
sufficient funds to finance its operating and capital
expenditure needs for the foreseeable future. The new
indebtedness will be the obligation of Key, as survivor of the
merger, and Key's subsidiaries, Yale E. Key and Clint Hurt. The

without the consent of the lender. (See Note 2, "The Merger)
Impact of SFAS 121
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - Accounting
for Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of ("SFAS 121") regarding the impairment of long-lived assets,
identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets.
SFAS 121 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995, although earlier adoption is
encouraged. The application of SFAS 121 to oil and gas companies utilizing
the successful efforts method (such as OEI) will require periodic
determination of whether the book value of long-lived assets
exceeds the future cash flows expected to result from the use of
such assets and, if so, will require reduction of the carrying
amount of the "impaired" assets to their estimated fair values.
The Company, currently,Key estimates that the implementation of SFAS 121 will not have
a material effect on the Company'sKey's financial position.

make an accurate assessment of the impact of inflation on the Company'sKey's
operations, management is of the opinion that inflation has not
had a significant impact on it business.
