                     Key Energy Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

    PART I. ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

    The Company

    Key Energy  Group,  Inc. (the  "Company" or "Key") is a leading  provider of
    well services in the United  States and in  Argentina.  As of June 30, 1997,
    the Company operated a fleet of 523 well service rigs, 437 fluid hauling and
    other  trucks,  and nine  drilling rigs  (including  16 workover  rigs,  six
    trucks,  and 3 drilling rigs in Argentina).  As of June 30, 1997, Key's well
    service and workover rig fleet and fluid  hauling and other truck fleet were
    the second largest and largest fleets, respectively, onshore the continental
    United  States.  The  Company  operates  in  Texas,  New  Mexico,  Oklahoma,
    Michigan,  the  Appalachian  Basin  and  Argentina.  The  Company  generally
    provides a full range of  maintenance  and  workover  services  to major and
    independent  oil and  gas  companies  in all of its  operating  regions.  In
    addition to maintenance and workover  services,  Key also provides  services
    which 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 and
    hot oiling. In addition, the Company is engaged in contract drilling in West
    Texas and Argentina and owns and produces oil and natural gas in the Permian
    Basin.

    The Company  conducts  operations  through four  wholly-owned  subsidiaries:
    Yale E. Key, Inc.  ("Yale E. Key");  WellTech Eastern, Inc. ("WellTech 
    Eastern");  Odessa Exploration Incorporated ("Odessa Exploration");  and 
    Key Energy Drilling, Inc. d/b/a Clint Hurt Drilling ("Clint Hurt"). In 
    addition,  Key operates in Argentina  through its 63% ownership (wholly-
    owned as of July 1, 1997) of Servicios WellTech,  S.A. ("Servicios"). 
    WellTech Eastern operates through two divisions:  WellTech Mid-Continent 
    Division and WellTech Eastern  Division.  Yale E. Key,  WellTech  Eastern 
    and Servicios  provide oil and gas well services, and Servicios owns 
    contract  drilling  rigs.  Odessa  Exploration is engaged in the production
    of oil and natural gas and Clint Hurt provides contract oil and gas well 
    drilling services in the Permian Basin of West Texas.

    Subsequent Events

    Subsequent  to June 30,  1997,  the  Company  purchased  the  remaining  37%
    interest in Servicios and completed the  acquisition  of four 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 153 well service  rigs, 11
    drilling  rigs,  91 fluid  hauling 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.

    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, Key has been a the leading  consolidator
         of  this  industry,   completing  twenty-three   acquisitions  of  well
         servicing  operations  (twenty-eight  including pending  transactions).
         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. As a result
         of these and other factors, the Company has developed a growth strategy
         to: (i) 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 and  WellTech  Eastern.  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 and hot oiling.  The Company has more
         than 750  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,  of the
         Company's 523 well service and workover rigs, 273 operate in West Texas
         and New Mexico,  161 in Oklahoma and East Texas, 79 in Michigan and the
         Appalachian Basin, and ten 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.

    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.



                                      - 5 -


         Shallow Contract Drilling Services

         The Company,  through  Clint Hurt,  owns and operates six 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 rigs and related equipment in the Permian Basin of West Texas.
         The closing 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.  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,  acquired  two  additional  land  drilling  rigs.  The rigs are
         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,  Servicios  owned and operated  ten well  servicing  rigs and
         three  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
         highly  fragmented  and includes a 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 750 customers in West Texas, East Texas, New Mexico,
    Oklahoma, Michigan, the Appalachian Basin and Argentina with its two largest
    customers providing 13% and 7%, of total Company revenue during fiscal 1997.
    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,  the Company  employed  3,175  persons  (3,047 in well
    service operations,  12 in oil and gas production,  105 in contract drilling
    operations  and 11 in  corporate).  None  of  the  Company's  employees  are
    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  condition
    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 eight safety
    officers.  The Company also has a safety training and education center which
    is used by it for continued safety training and awareness.

     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.

     Fluctuations in well servicing  activity have had a strong correlation with
fluctuations  in oil  and  gas  prices.  If oil  and  gas  prices  were  to drop
significantly from current levels, the Company would expect a decrease in demand
for drilling and services which would negatively affect the Company's  operating
performance.  The Company seeks to minimize the effects of such  fluctuations on
its  operations and financial  condition  through  diversification  of services,
entry into new markets and customer alliances.

     FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 VERSUS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

     Results of Operations

     Operating Income

     The Company

     Revenues for the year ended June 30, 1997 increased  $97,152,000,  or 146%,
from $66,478,000 in fiscal 1996 to $163,630,000 in fiscal 1997, while net income
for fiscal 1997 increased  $5,512,000,  or 154% , from $3,586,000 in fiscal 1996
to $9,098,000 in fiscal 1997. The increase was primarily due to oilwell  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,  or 96%, from
$4,175,000  during the year ended June 30,  1996 to  $8,180,000  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
oilwell 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,  or 124%,
from  $1,350,000  for the year ended June 30,  1996 to  $3,030,000  for the year
ended June 30, 1997. The increase was primarily the result costs associated with
several oil and natural gas wells that were drilled and began producting  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.  The increase  was  primarily  the
result of increased revenues.

     Depreciation and Depletion Expense

     Depreciation,  depletion and amortization expense increased $6,719,000,  or
143%,  from  $4,701,000  for fiscal 1996 to  $11,420,000  for fiscal  1997.  The
increase is primarily due to oilfield service depreciation expense, which is the
result of increased oilfield service capital expenditures for the current period
versus the prior period and the acquisitions  completed  throughout fiscal 1997.
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  $11,914,000,  or 180%, from
$6,608,000  for the year ended June 30, 1996 to  $18,522,000  for the year ended
June 30, 1997.  The  increase was  primarily  attributable  to oilfield  service
acquisitions throughout the fiscal year.


     Interest Expense

     Interest expense increased $5,058,000,  or 204%, from $2,477,000 for fiscal
1996 to $7,535,000 in fiscal 1997. The increase was primarily the result of debt
incurred in connection with acquisitions completed throughout fiscal 1997.


                                     - 13 -


     Income Taxes

     Income tax expense increased $3,612,000, or 191%, from $1,888,000 in income
tax expense for fiscal  1996 to  $5,500,000  for fiscal  1997.  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 a  significant  amount of the
$5,500,000  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 offset 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 oilwell  service
operations and oilwell 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.

     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  increased by $37.5 million for the
year ended June 30, 1997 from $4.2 million as of June 30, 1996 to $41.7  million
as of June 30, 1997.  This  increase was  primarily  the result of proceeds from
the Bank Credit Agreement.

     The  Company  has  projected  $20  million  for  oilfield  service  capital
expenditures  for fiscal 1998 as compared to $15.1  million and $5.2  million in
fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Odessa Exploration has projected outlays of
approximately  $10 million in development  costs for fiscal 1998, as compared to
$8.2 million and $9.8 million in fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Clint Hurt
Drilling has forecast  approximately $2 million for oil and gas drilling capital
expenditures for fiscal 1998,  primarily for improvements to existing  equipment
and  machinery,  as  compared to $1.5  million  for fiscal 1997 and  $598,000 in
fiscal 1996.  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 Bank Credit Agreement,   will  be  sufficient  to  fund  such
expenditures.

     Debt

     In June 1997,  the Company  entered  into the Credit  Agreement  (the "Bank
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 syndication  agent and the lenders named therein pursuant
to which the  lenders  agreed to make  available  to the  Compaany  a  five-year
revolving  credit  facilty in the amount of $135 million and a  seven-year  term
loan  facility  in the amount of $120  million.  Up to $10 million of letters of
credit  may be issued  pursuant  to the Bank  Credit  Agreement.  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 incurred  pursuant to the Bank Credit Agreement will
bear interest,  at the Company's  option, at PNC's base rate plus 1.00% or LIBOR
plus 2.25% and term loans will bear interest,  at the Company's option, at PNC's
base rate plus 1.75% or LIBOR plus 2.75%.  After  September 30, 1997, the margin
applicable to revolving  credit loans will  fluctuate  from time to time between
0.25% and 1.25% with respect to base rate loans and between  1.50% and 2.50% for
LIBOR based loans.  Such  fluctuations  will be based on the Company's  ratio of
consolidated  total  debt (net of cash in excess of $5  million)  to a pro forma
calculation  of  consolidated  earnings  before  interest  expense,   taxes  and
depreciation, depletion and amortization.

     The Company used the proceeds from the Bank Credit  Agreement to: (i) repay
existing debt; (ii) make additional  acquisitions and capital expenditures;  and
(iii) provide working capital. Long-term debt that was repaid with proceeds from
the Bank Credit  Agreement in June 1997 included all debt with CIT  Group/Credit
Finance,  Inc. of approximately  $54.3 million and all bank debt associated with
Odessa  Exploration,  previously with Norwest Bank Texas, N.A., of approximately
$2.1 million.

     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 ("SFAS 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 SFAS
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.

     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.  Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods
provided for comparative  purposes is required.  The Company will adopt SFAS 130
for the 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 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.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995

     1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The Company

     Key Energy Group,  Inc. herein after referred to as the "Company" or "Key",
was organized in April 1977, and commenced  operations in July 1978.  Results of
operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 1997,  1996 and 1995 include the
Company's oilfield service operations conducted by its wholly-owned  subsidiary,
Yale E. Key, Inc.,  ("Yale E. Key"),  the Company's oil and gas  exploration and
production  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Odessa Exploration  Incorporated ("Odessa
Exploration"),  and the Company's oil and gas well drilling operations conducted
by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary,  Key Energy Drilling, Inc. d/b/a Clint
Hurt Drilling ("Clint Hurt Drilling"). Clint Hurt Drilling was acquired in March
of 1995.  Also included in the results of  operations  for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1997 and approximately  three months for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1996 are those  operating  results from the Company's  wholly-owned  subsidiary;
WellTech  Eastern,  Inc.  ("WellTech  Eastern") which currently holds the assets
acquired in the merger with WellTech, Inc. ("WellTech"),  on March 26, 1996 (see
Note  2).  WellTech  Eastern  operates  through  two  divisions;   the  WellTech
Mid-Continent  Division and the WellTech  Eastern  Division.  In addition,  as a
result of the  Welltech  acquisition,  the Company  acquired a 63%  ownership in
Servicios WellTech, S.A. ("Servicios"),  an Argentinean  corporation.  Servicios
conducts  oilfield  services  operations in Argentina and is accounted for using
the consolidation with a minority interest method.

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 oilwell service parts and supplies,
are held for use in the operations of Key and are valued at the lower of average
cost or market.

Property and Equipment

     The Company  provides for  depreciation and amortization of non-oil and gas
properties using the  straight-line  method over the following  estimated useful
lives of the assets:

                          (table follows on next page)

                     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

     Deferred  income  associated  with gas  balancing is  accounted  for on the
entitlements  method  and  represents  amounts  received  for gas sold under gas
balancing  arrangements in excess of Odessa Exploration's interest in properties
covered by such agreements.  Odessa  Exploration had deferred income  associated
with gas balancing of approximately  $155,000,  $198,000 and $253,000 as of June
30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Environmental

     The Company is subject to extensive federal,  state and local environmental
laws and regulations.  These laws, which are constantly  changing,  regulate the
discharge  of  materials  into the  environment  and may  require the Company to
remove or  mitigate  the  environmental  effects of the  disposal  or release of
petroleum or chemical  substances at various sites.  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.

Other Assets and Goodwill

     At June 30,  1997,  1996 and 1995,  other  assets  consisted  primarily  of
goodwill,  capitalized debt issuance costs and security and escrow deposits from
Key's workers' compensation  retrospective  insurance program, in addition to an
interest, (approximately 13%), in an insurance company (the insurance company is
affiliated with Key's workers' compensation carrier).

                     Key Energy Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)

     At June 30, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  the Company  classified  as goodwill the
cost in excess of fair value of the net  tangible  assets  acquired  in purchase
transactions.  Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line  basis over ten to
twenty-five   years.   Management   continually   evaluates  whether  events  or
circumstances  have occurred that indicate the remaining useful life of goodwill
may  warrant  revision  or  the  remaining   balance  of  goodwill  may  not  be
recoverable.  Goodwill amortization expense totaled $622,000 for fiscal 1997 and
$100,000  for fiscal 1996 and  $100,000  for fiscal  1995.  Debt  issuance  cost
amortization  expense  totaled  $344,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997 and is
amortized over the term of the applicable debt.

Earnings per Share

     Primary  earnings per common share are  determined by dividing net earnings
applicable  to common  stock by the  weighted  average  number of common  shares
actually outstanding during the year and common equivalent shares resulting from
the assumed  exercise of stock  options and warrants (if any) using the treasury
stock method,  except in periods with reported losses as the inclusion of common
stock equivalents would be antidilutive. Fully diluted earnings per common share
are based on the increased  number of shares that would be outstanding  assuming
conversion  of  dilutive  outstanding  convertible  securities  using the "as if
converted" method.

Income Taxes

     The Company  accounts  for income  taxes based upon  Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). 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 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.

            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 ("SFAS 121"). This Statement
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed
for impairment  whenever  events or changes in  circumstances  indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be  recoverable.  Adoption of this Statement
did  not  have  an  impact  on the  Company's  financial  position,  results  of
operations, or liquidity.

Stock-based Compensation

     The  Company  accounts  for  employee  stock-based  compensation  using the
intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees  ("APB 25").  Accordingly,  the company
has only adopted the disclosure  provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123,  Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation  ("SFAS 123").  See
Note 8 for the pro forma  disclosures of compensation  expense  determined under
the fair-value provisions of SFAS 123.

Cash Flows

     For cash flow  purposes,  the Company  considers  all  unrestricted  highly
liquid  investments with less than a three month maturity when purchased as cash
equivalents.

Reclassifications

     Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made to the  fiscal  1996  and 1995
consolidated financial statements to conform to the fiscal 1997 presentation.

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.  Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods
provided for comparative  purposes is required.  The Company will adopt SFAS 130
for the 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 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.

                                         - 27 -
    
                     Key Energy Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)

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

     Although in our complex  environment  it is extremely  difficult to make an
accurate  assessment  of the impact of  inflation on the  Company's  operations,
management is of the opinion that inflation has not had a significant  impact on
its business.

2.  BUSINESS AND PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS

     The following described acquisitions have been completed during the current
year and are  included in the  Company's  results of  operations  for the twelve
months ended June 30, 1997.

240,000  shares of the Company's  common stock.  Well-Co will be operated by the
Company's  west Texas  subsidiary  of Yale E. Key. The results of  operations of
Well-Co are included in the Company's  results of operations  effective June 26,
1997. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method.

4.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Various  suits and claims  arising in the  ordinary  course of business are
pending against the Company. Management does not believe that the disposition of
any of these items will result in a material  adverse impact to the consolidated
financial position of the Company. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had reserved
$133,000 for potential suits and claims.

     During 1995, the Company entered into employment agreements with certain of
its officers.  These employment  agreements  generally run to June 30, 1997, but
will  automatically  be  extended on a yearly  basis  unless  terminated  by the
Company 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 24 months of the officers  base salary.  The current
annual base salaries for the officers  covered under such employment  agreements
total approximately $800,000.

5.  LONG-TERM DEBT

     On June 6, 1997,  the Company  entered into an agreement  (the "Bank Credit
Agreement") with PNC Bank, N.A., as  administrative  agent,  Norwest Bank Texas,
N.A., as collateral agent.  Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc., as advisor,  arranger
and  syndication  agent and the  lenders  named  thereas  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,  is LIBOR  plus 2.75  percent  and the  interest  rate on the
revolver  varies based on the LIBOR and the level of the Company's  indebtedness
and is currently LIBOR plus 2.25 percent. The Company used the proceeds from the
facility to: (i) repay existing bank debt; (ii) make additional acquisitions and
capital expenditures; and (iii) provide working capital. In addition, the credit
facility provides, under certain conditions,  for the repurchase of a portion of
the Company's  outstanding common stock in the open market from time to time. In
connection  with the credit  facility,  the  company  incurred  and  capitalized
$4,979,000 of debt issuance costs. These costs are being amortized over the life
of the  credit  facility.  The  credit  facility  contains  certain  restrictive
covenants and requires certain financial ratios.

     Long-term  debt which was repaid with  proceeds  from the Agreement in June
1997  included  all  debt  with  CIT  Group/Credit   Finance,  Inc.  ("CIT")  of
approximately   $54.3  million  and  all  bank  debt   associated   with  Odessa
Exploration,   previously   with  Norwest  Bank  Texas,   N.A.   ("Norwest")  of
approximately $2.1 million.

     In July  1996,  the  Company  completed  the  offering  of  $52,000,000  7%
convertible subordinated debentures due 2003 (the "Debentures"). In August 1996,
the interest  rate on the  Debentures  was increased to 7 1/2%. As the result of
the Company's purchase of the remaining 37% ownership in Servicios, the interest
rate was  reduced to 7% in July of 1997.  The  offering  was a private  offering
pursuant  to Rule  144A  under the  Securities  Act of 1933.  Proceeds  from the
offering were used to substantially repay existing long-term debt (approximately
$35.2 million).  In connection with the offering of the Debentures,  the Company
capitalized  and incurred  $2,410,000  of debt issuance  costs.  These costs are
being amortized over the life of the Debentures.  The Debenture contains certain
restrictive covenants and requires certain financial ratios.

     The Debentures mature on July 1, 2003 and are convertible at any time after
November 1, 1996 and before maturity, unless previously redeemed, into shares of
the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $9 3/4 per share, subject to
adjustment in certain events. In addition, holders of the Debentures who convert
prior to July 1, 1999 will receive, in addition to the Company's common stock, a
payment  generally  equal  to 50%  of  the  interest  otherwise  payable  on the
converted  Debentures from the date of conversion  through July 1, 1999, payable
in cash or common stock, at the Company's option.  Interest on the Debentures is
payable  semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year,  commencing January
1, 1997. In August,  1996, the interest rate was increased from 7% to 7 1/2% due
to  certain  modifications  in  the  Debenture  indenture  involving  a  certain
subsidiary's  
                                     - 32 -

inability  to  guarantee  the  obligations  under  the  indenture,
relating to the Debentures (the "Prospectus"), (specifically, Servicios). As the
result of the  Company's  purchase of the  remaining 37% ownership in Servicios,
the interest rate was reduced to 7% in July of 1997.

     The Debentures  will not be redeemable by the Company before July 15, 1999.
Thereafter,  the  Debentures  will be redeemable at the option of the Company in
whole or part,  at the  declining  redemption  prices set forth in the  original
Prospectus,  together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.(see Note 17, for
further discussion.)

     In January 1996, prior to the consummation of the Bank Credit Agreement and
offering  described  above,  the Company,  Yale E. Key,  Clint Hurt and WellTech
entered into separate  credit  facilities  with CIT totaling  approximately  $35
million (the combined maximum credit limit). The credit facilities were combined
into one facility after the consummation of the Welltech merger.  As a result of
the separate  credit  facilities,  the interest rate for Yale E. Key was lowered
from two and one-half to one and one-quarter  percent over the stated prime rate
(8.25% at June 30,  1996).  Each of the CIT term notes  required  principal  and
interest  payments,  due the first day of each month beginning February 1, 1996,
plus a final  payment of the unpaid  balance of the note due  December 31, 1998.
The expiration of each of the lines of credit was December 31, 1998.

     The components of long-term debt are as follows:

     (i).  Under  the  Bank  Credit  Agreement,  the term  loan of $120  million
     requires interest payments at the termination of the LIBOR interest period.
     The term  loan is seven  years and the  interest  rate is LIBOR  plus 2.75

     inability to guarantee the obligations under the indenture, relating to the
     Debentures (the "Prospectus"),  (specifically, Servicios). As the result of
     the Company's  purchase of the  remaining  37% ownership in Servicios,  the
     interest rate was reduced to 7% in July of 1997.

     (iii).  The CIT term note,  as  amended,  required  principal  payments  of
     approximately $275,000, plus interest, due the first day of each month plus
     a final  payment of the unpaid  balance of the note due  December 31, 1998.
     The interest  rate was one and  one-quarter  percent above the stated prime
     rate of 8.25% at June 30, 1996. The note was  collateralized  by all of the
     assets  (including  equipment and inventory) of Yale E. Key, Clint Hurt and
     WellTech  Eastern.  The CIT line of credit,  as amended,  required  monthly
     payments of interest at one and one-quarter  percent above the stated prime
     rate of 8.25% at June 30, 1996.  The line of credit was  collateralized  by
     the accounts  receivable of Yale E. Key,  Clint Hurt and WellTech  Eastern.
     The agreement with CIT included  certain  restrictive  covenants,  the most
     restrictive of which prohibited the Company from making  distributions  and
     declaring dividends on its common stock.

      (iv).  Prior  to  the  Agreement  and  Offering  described  above,  Odessa
      Exploration  had a loan  agreement,  as amended,  with  Norwest.  The loan
      agreement  provided  for a $7.5  million  revolving  line of  credit  note
      subject to a borrowing base limitation (approximately $6.3 million at June
      30, 1996).  The borrowing base was  redetermined on at least a semi-annual
      basis. The borrowing base was reduced by approximately  $100,000 per month
      through  October 1997; the maturity of the note. The note's  interest rate
      was one-half of one percent over Norwest's prime rate of 8.25% at June 30,
      1996.  The  note  was  secured  by  substantially  all of the oil and gas
      properties of Odessa Exploration.

      The  loan  agreement  had  contained  various  restrictive  covenants  and
      compliance  requirements,  which included (a) prohibits Odessa Exploration
      from declaring or paying dividends on Odessa  Exploration's  common stock,
      (b)  limiting  the  incurrence  of  additional   indebtedness   by  Odessa
      Exploration,  (c) the  limitation  on the  disposition  of assets  and (d)
      various financial covenants.

      (v).  In  April,  1996,  as the  result  of  the  acquisition  of  certain
      properties  by Odessa  Exploration,  but prior to the  Offering  described
      above, Odessa Exploration entered into a loan agreement with Norwest.  The
      loan  agreement  provided for a term loan of $9.3 million to be reduced by
      $2.4 million in principal amount after the consummation of the acquisition
      of certain properties by Odessa Exploration.  The note's interest rate was
      one-half of one  percent  over  Norwest's  prime rate of 8.25% at June 30,
      1996. The note required interest payments beginning June 1, 1996. The note
      was secured by  substantially  all of the oil and gas properties of Odessa
      Exploration.

      Presented  below is a schedule of the repayment  requirements of long-term
      debt for each of the next five years and thereafter as of June 30, 1997:

6.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The  carrying  amount of cash and cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable,
accounts  payable and accrued  expenses,  other current assets and other current
liabilities  approximates  fair  value  because of the short  maturity  of these
instruments.

     Based on the  borrowing  rates  currently  estimated to be available to the
Company  for  loans  with  similar  terms,  the  fair  value of  long-term  debt
approximates  the carrying  amount as of June 30, 1997 and 1996,  except for the
subordinated  convertible  debentures which have a carrying value of $52 million
and a fair value of approximately $98.9 million at June 30, 1997.

8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

The 1995 Stock Option Plan

     On March 26,  1996,  a Stock  Option Plan (the "1995 Plan") was approved by
the Company's stockholders. The Plan became effective July 1, 1995, and , unless
terminated  earlier,  will terminate July 1, 2005. The 1995 Plan is administered
by a committee (the "Committee")  consisting of at least three directors of Key,
each of whom is a "disinterested  person" within the meaning of rule 16b-3 under
the Exchange Act and an "outside  director" within the meaning of Section 162(m)
of the Code.

                     Key Energy Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued

      The total number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be
subject to options under the 1995 Plan may not exceed 1,800,000 in the
aggregate.  The total amount of common stock with respect to which options
may be granted over the life of the 1995 Plan to any single employee shall
not exceed 500,000  shares in the  aggregate.  Options which are canceled,
forfeited or have expired or expire by their terms without being exercised
shall be available  for future  grants under the 1995 Plan.  The Committee
may  determine  which key  employees of the Company or any  subsidiary  or
other persons shall be granted  options under the 1995 Plan,  the terms of
the  options  and the number of shares  which may be  purchased  under the
option.

     The individuals  eligible to receive options under the 1995 Plan consist of
key employees  (including  officers who may be members of the Board),  directors
who are neither employees nor members of the Committee and other individuals who
render  services  of  special   importance  to  the  management,   operation  or
development  of  Key or any  subsidiary,  and  who  have  contributed  or may be
expected  to  contribute  materially  to the  success  of  Key or a  subsidiary,
provided, however, that only key employees are eligible to receive options.

     The price at which shares of common stock may be purchased upon exercise of
an option will be specified by the  Committee at the time the option is granted,
but in the case of an individual stock option,  except under certain conditions,
may not be less than the fair  market  value of the common  stock on the date of
grant.  The  duration  of any  option  is  determined  by the  Committee  in its
discretion and shall be specified in the option  agreement.  No individual stock
option may be exercisable after the expiration of ten years.

The 1995 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan

     On March 26, 1996, an Outside  Directors  Stock Option Plan was approved by
the Company's Shareholder's (the "Directors Plan"). Individuals who are "Outside
Directors"  are  eligible to  participate  in the  Directors  Plan.  An "Outside
Director"  is  defined  as a  member  of the  Board of  Directors  who is not an
employee of the Company or any of its  subsidiaries.  Under the Directors  Plan,
Outside Directors are divided into three groups dependent upon certain dates and
length of service on the Board. Only nonqualified stock options ("NSO's") may be
granted under the Directors  Plan. An NSO granted under the Directors Plan shall
expire ten years  after the date of the grant.  An NSO may not be granted  under
the Directors Plan after July 1, 1998.

     The  Directors  Plan  provides  for the issuance of an aggregate of 400,000
shares of common stock,  which may be authorized but unissued  shares,  treasury
shares,  or shares  purchased on the open market.  The exercise price of the NSO
shall be the fair market value on the date of the grant.

     The following  table  summarizes the stock option  activity  related to the
Company's plans:

     The Company  applies APB 25 and related  Interpretations  in accounting for
its  stock  option  awards.   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,  1997 and 1996
would have been adjusted to the following pro forma  amounts:  

      (unaudited)                                       Year Ended June 30, 
                                                           1997      1996

      Net income (in thousands)                           $8,680    $2,945
      Primary net income per share                        $ 0.71    $ 0.37
      Fully-diluted net income per share                  $ 0.61    $ 0.35
         
     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 1996 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 1996 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 1997 and 1996:

                                                       1997              1996

           Expected dividend yield                       0%                0%

The total fair value of options granted at June 30, 1997 is $6,541,000.

     A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some
portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Based on  expectations
for the future,  management  has  determined  that taxable income of the Company
will more likely than not be sufficient to fully utilize available carryforwards
prior to their ultimate expiration.

     The Company  estimates  that as of June 30,  1997,  the  Company  will have
available approximately  $148,414,060 of net operating loss carryforwards (which
begin to expire in 2001). The net operating loss carryforwards are subject to an
annual limitation of approximately  $940,000,  under Sections 382 and 383 of the
Internal Revenue Code.

10.  LEASING ARRANGEMENTS

     Among other leases, the Company (primarily its subsidiaries), lease certain
automotive  equipment  under  non-cancelable  operating  leases which expire at
various dates through 2002. The term of the operating  leases generally run from
36 to 60 months with varying  payment dates  throughout each month. In addition,
in the case of Yale E. Key,  each  lease  includes  an option  to  purchase  the
equipment and an excess mileage charge as defined in the leases.

     As  of  June  30,  1997,   the  future   minimum   lease   payments   under
non-cancelable operating leases, in thousands, are as follows:

     Operating  lease  expense was  approximately  $5,299,000,  $2,897,000,  and
$1,930,000,   for  the  fiscal  years  ended  June  30,  1997,  1996  and  1995,
respectively.

11.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     At June 30,  1997,  as the  result of the  WellTech  merger  (Note 2),  the
Company  maintains two 401-(k) plans (the "Plans") for its employees.  Employees
of WellTech  Eastern are eligible for  participation  in one Plan (the "WellTech
401-(k) Plan"),  while all other employees are eligible for participation in the
other Plan (the "Key 401-(k) Plan").  The Company intends to merge the two Plans
at January 1, 1998. The 401-(k) plans cover  substantially  all employees of the
Company.  The  Company  matches  employees'  contributions  up  to  10%  of  the
employees'  contribution to the Key 401-(k) Plan.  These  contributions  totaled
approximately  $35,000,  $19,000 and $20,000 for the years ended June 30,  1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.  Additionally, the Company contributed $300,000 and
$37,000 into the WellTech  401-(k) Plan for the year ended June 30, 1997 and the
period of March 26,  1996 (the date of the  WellTech  merger) to June 30,  1996,
respectively . The Company agreed to match employee  contributions up to 50% (to
a  maximum  of $1,000  per  employee)  of the  employees'  contributions  to the
WellTech 401-(k) Plan.

12.  MAJOR CUSTOMERS

     Sales to customers  representing  10% or more of consolidated  revenues for
the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:

                                                 Fiscal Year Ended June 30,

          Customer B                            7%         11%            10%

13.  TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

     WellTech  Eastern paid $78,000 and $18,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997
and for the period March 26, 1996 (the date of the Welltech  merger) to June 30,
1996,  respectively,  for office/yard  rental expense in which an officer of the
Company and  WellTech  Eastern has an  interest.  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.  Net
proceeds to the automobile  dealership  totaled $399,000 for the year ended June
30, 1995.  The leases are  considered  operating  leases.  In the opinion of the
Board of Directors of the Company,  the net proceeds from  automotive  equipment
were on terms at least as favorable  to the Company as could have been  obtained
from a third  party.  This opinion is based on  information  provided by a third
party leasing  company,  that is not  affiliated  with the former officer or the
Company, to the Board of Directors regarding purchase prices and equipment lease
rentals offered by third parties.

14.  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.  BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

     Key operates a variety of oilfield  service  equipment  including  workover
rigs, hot oil units,  transports and various other oilfield servicing equipment.
In addition, Key performs a variety of other oilfield services including fishing
tools, frac tanks and blow-out preventers.

     Oil  and  gas  production  is  conducted  by  Odessa  Exploration.   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 by Clint Hurt  Drilling.
Clint Hurt  Drilling  operates six drilling  rigs which drill for oil and gas in
the West Texas 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.

Conversion of Convertible Subordinated Debentures

     As of September 11, 1997,  $33,245,000 in principal amount of the Company's
Debentures had converted into the Company's  common stock. The conversion was at
the option of the holders. The Debentures converted into 3,552,539 shares of the
Company's common stock. The conversion  included 188,488 shares,  in addition to
the conversion of shares at $9.75 per share. Such additional  consideration will
be  accounted  for  as  an  increase  to  the  Company's  Equity.  However,  the
proportional  amount  of debt  issuance  costs  associated  with  the  converted
Debentures will be expensed as an  extraordinary  item in the period in which it
occurs.

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.

            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.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Cash Flows

     The following  schedules present  estimates of the standardized  measure of
discounted  future net cash flows from the Company's  proved reserves as of June
30,  1996,  and an analysis of the changes in these  amounts for the years ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995. 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.

                          Independent Auditors' Report



To The Board of Directors 
  and Stockholders Key Energy Group, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets of Key Energy
Group,  Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  as of June 30,  1997 and 1996,  and the related
consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each  of the  years  in the  three-year  period  ended  June  30,  1997.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  the consolidated  financial  statements  referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Key Energy Group,  Inc. and  Subsidiaries  as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the
results  of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year  period ended June 30, 1997, in conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.
