NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein
have been prepared without audit pursuant to accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information
and notes have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations and the Company believes that the disclosures included herein
are adequate. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders (the "Annual
Report") incorporated by reference in the Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
2. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments and reclassifications, which
are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its
financial position as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the
results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2000 and 1999 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999.
3. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.
4. The Company has three principal operating segments: contract drilling
of oil and gas wells, both onshore and offshore ("Drilling"), helicopter
and fixed-wing aircraft services ("Aviation") and the manufacture and sale
of heavy equipment for the mining, timber and transportation industries,
alloy steel and steel plate and marine drilling equipment
("Manufacturing"). The following table presents certain financial
information of the Company as of June 30, 2000 and 1999 and for the six
month periods then ended by operating segment (in thousands).

Such items would be excluded in this instance under the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 because they
have an antidilutive effect.
6. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company completed the sale of
10.3 million shares of its common stock, consisting of 5.8 million shares
of treasury stock and 4.5 million newly issued shares. The net proceeds of
approximately $247 million were first applied to repayment of the $110
million outstanding under the Company's $155 million bank revolving credit
facility maturing in October 2000, which was subsequently cancelled.
Remaining offering proceeds were retained for working capital and general
corporate purposes.
7. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, which establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Statement No. 133, as amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. The Company held no derivatives in 2000 and 1999 and
believes Statement No. 133, as amended, when adopted effective January 1,
2001, will not materially impact its financial position or results of
operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to
Six Months Ended June 30, 1999
The Company achieved net income of $17.2 million in the first half of 2000
compared to a net loss of $12.6 million in the same period of 1999. The
improved results were attained largely through a substantial increase in
offshore drilling activity between periods, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico,
though the Company's manufacturing and aviation divisions performed better as
well. Improving supply and demand fundamentals for oil and natural gas have
yielded an increasingly favorable commodity price environment for most of the
past twelve months, driving an increase in demand for drilling services.
A comparison of the revenues and operating profit (loss) from drilling,
manufacturing, aviation and consolidated operations for the first six months of
2000 and 1999, respectively, is reflected below (dollars in thousands):

- ------------------
(1) Income (loss) from operations before deducting general and administrative
expenses.
As shown above, the Company's consolidated operating results increased by $43.2
million when comparing the first halves of 2000 and 1999. Drilling revenues
increased by $45.1 million or 35% as the Company's offshore fleet was 91%
utilized during the first half of 2000, compared to 59% in the first half of
1999. Related expenses increased by $7.1 million, or 6%, between periods,
primarily due to wage increases and the commencement of the Company's AHTS
(anchor-handling, towing and supply) vessel operation, the costs of which were
substantially offset by outside revenues.
The $2.6 million increase shown above in the Company's manufacturing results
between periods reflects increased contributions from each of the groups, as
well as the initial five months of operations of the pump group, LeTourneau
Ellis Williams Company, which the Company acquired during the first quarter of
2000. The division's external backlog was at $23.7 million at June 30, 2000,
more than twice the year-ago level. Manufacturing operations exclude
approximately $59 million of products and services provided to the Company's
drilling division during the first half of 2000, most of which was attributable
to the completed construction of Rowan Gorilla VI and progress on Rowan Gorilla
VII, compared to $72 million in the same period of 1999.
The Company's aviation operating results in the first half of 2000 were
improved over the prior-year period, due primarily to the increase in
energy-related flying in the Gulf of Mexico and on the Alaskan North Slope and
increased fire response work, although both periods reflect the normal seasonal
slowdown in helicopter flying activity in Alaska during the first four months
of the year.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to
Three Months Ended June 30, 1999
The Company achieved net income of $11.1 million in the second quarter of 2000
compared to a net loss of $2.6 million in the same period of 1999. The improved
results were attained largely through a substantial increase in offshore
drilling activity between periods, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico, though the
Company's aviation division performed better as well. Improving supply and
demand fundamentals for oil and natural gas have yielded an increasingly
favorable commodity price environment for most of the past twelve months,
driving an increase in demand for drilling services.
A comparison of the revenues and operating profit (loss) from drilling,
manufacturing, aviation and consolidated operations for the second quarters of
2000 and 1999, respectively, is reflected below (dollars in thousands):

Operating Profit (Loss) $ 21,439 $ 3,190 $ 380 $ 1,191 $ (156) $ (2,172) $ 21,663 $ 2,209
As shown above, the Company's consolidated operating results increased by $19.5
million when comparing the second quarters of 2000 and 1999. Drilling revenues
increased by $24.1 million or 36% as the Company's offshore fleet was 95%
utilized during the second quarter of 2000, compared to 68% in the second
quarter of 1999. Related expenses increased by $5.2 million, or 9%, between
periods, primarily due to wage increases and the commencement of the Company's
AHTS (anchor-handling, towing and supply) vessel operation, the costs of which
were substantially offset by outside revenues.
The $0.8 million decline shown above in the Company's manufacturing results
between periods primarily reflects the decreased contribution from the
equipment group. The division's external backlog increased by more than 50%
during the quarter to $23.7 million at June 30, 2000. Manufacturing operations
exclude approximately $25 million of products and services provided to the
Company's drilling division during the second quarter of 2000, most of which
was attributable to the completed construction of Rowan Gorilla VI and progress
on Rowan Gorilla VII, compared to $35 million in the same period of 1999.
The Company's aviation operating results in the second quarter of 2000 were
improved over the prior-year period, due primarily to the increase in
energy-related flying in the Gulf of Mexico and on the Alaskan North Slope and
increased fire response work.
Perceptible trends in the offshore drilling markets in which the Company is
currently operating and the number of Company-operated rigs in each of those
markets are as follows:
AREA RIGS PERCEPTIBLE INDUSTRY TRENDS
- ------------------- ------------- ---------------------------------------------------------
Gulf of Mexico 21 Moderately improving exploration and development activity
Eastern Canada 2 Generally stable demand for harsh environment equipment
-9-
11
The Company believes a significant increase in North Sea jack-up drilling
activity will not occur until the spring of 2001, at the earliest, and has
effectively withdrawn from that market at this time. However, the Company
remains confident in the long-term viability of the North Sea jack-up market.
Perceptible trends in the aviation markets in which the Company is currently
operating and the number of Company-operated aircraft based in each of those
markets are as follows:
AREA RIGS PERCEPTIBLE INDUSTRY TRENDS
- ------------------- ------------- ------------------------------------------------------
Alaska 68 Normal seasonal improvement
Gulf of Mexico 46 Moderately improving levels of flight support activity
The drilling and aviation markets in which the Company competes frequently
experience significant changes in supply and demand. Offshore drilling
utilization and day rates are primarily a function of the demand for drilling
services, as measured by the level of exploration and development expenditures,
and the supply of capable drilling equipment. These expenditures, in turn, are
affected by many factors such as oil and natural gas reserves, political and
regulatory policies, seasonal weather patterns, contractual requirements under
leases or concessions, and, probably most influential, oil and natural gas
prices. The Company's aviation operations are also affected by such factors, as
flying in support of offshore energy operations remains a major source of
business and Alaska operations are hampered by weather each winter. The
volatile nature of such factors prevents the Company from being able to
accurately predict whether existing market conditions or the perceptible market
trends reflected in the preceding tables will continue. In response to
fluctuating market conditions, the Company can relocate its drilling rigs and
aircraft from one geographic area to another, but only when it believes such
moves are economically justified.
Though considerably less volatile than its drilling and aviation operations,
the Company's manufacturing operations have been adversely impacted by a
prolonged period of unfavorable world commodity prices; in particular, prices
for copper, iron ore, coal, gold and diamonds. Prices for some commodities have
stabilized somewhat in recent months and prospects for additional mining
equipment sales have improved. However, the Company cannot accurately predict
whether or not its manufacturing operations will be profitable throughout the
remainder of 2000.

million revolving credit facility which was scheduled to mature in October
2000.
Capital expenditures during the first half of 2000 were primarily related to
construction of Rowan Gorilla VI and Rowan Gorilla VII, each being an enhanced
version of the Company's Gorilla Class jack-ups, like Rowan Gorilla V,
featuring a combination drilling and production capability. In addition, the
Company acquired the two companies that manufacture Ellis Williams (EWCO) mud
pumps, which currently range in size from 350 to 2,200 horsepower and have wide
acceptance in both oilfield and non-oilfield applications.
Construction of Rowan Gorilla VI was completed on schedule during June and the
rig immediately commenced operations in the Gulf of Mexico. The Company
financed $171 million of the cost of Gorilla VI through 12-year bank loans
guaranteed by the U. S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration
under its Title XI Program. The notes require semiannual payments beginning in
September 2000 and bear floating interest rates averaging approximately 6.7%.
The construction of Rowan Gorilla VII continues on schedule at the Company's
Vicksburg, Mississippi shipyard and should be completed by year-end 2001. The
Company is financing up to $185 million of the cost of Gorilla VII under the
Title XI Program on terms and conditions similar to Gorilla VI. At June 30,
2000, the Company had drawn down about $58 million under this facility with
outstanding advances bearing interest at floating rates averaging approximately
6.8%.
On April 28, 2000, the Company announced plans for the design and construction
of an enhanced version of its Super Gorilla design, the Super Gorilla XL Class
jack-up. The new rig, to be named Rowan Gorilla VIII, will be outfitted with
708 feet of leg, 134 feet more than Gorillas V, VI or VII, and have 30% larger
spud cans enabling operation in the Gulf of Mexico in water depths up to 550
feet. Gorilla VIII will also be able to operate in water depths up to 400 feet
in the hostile environments of eastern Canada and the North Sea. Gorilla VIII
is estimated to cost $190 million and will be constructed at Vicksburg,
Mississippi. Delivery is expected during the third quarter of 2003.
The Company estimates remaining 2000 capital expenditures will be between $75
million and $90 million, including approximately $50-65 million for Gorillas
VII and VIII. The Company may also spend amounts to acquire additional aircraft
as market conditions justify and to upgrade existing offshore rigs and
manufacturing facilities.

During the first quarter of 2000, the Company completed the sale of 10.3
million shares of its common stock, consisting of 5.8 million shares of
treasury stock and 4.5 million newly issued shares. The net proceeds of
approximately $247 million were first applied to repayment of the $110 million
outstanding under the Company's $155 million bank revolving credit facility,
which was subsequently cancelled. Remaining offering proceeds were retained for
working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company currently has no
other available credit facilities, but believes financing could be arranged if
deemed necessary.
On January 31, 2000, in connection with the Ellis Williams acquisition, the
Company issued $3 million in 7.5% promissory notes that are repayable in equal
annual installments through January 31, 2003.
Based upon current operating levels and the previously discussed market trends,
management believes that 2000 operations, together with existing working
capital and available financial resources, will generate sufficient cash flow
to sustain planned capital expenditures and debt service requirements at least
through the remainder of 2000.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, which establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging
activities. Statement No. 133, as amended, is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company held no derivatives in 2000 or 1999
and believes that Statement No. 133, as amended, when adopted effective January
1, 2001, will not materially impact its financial position or results of
operations.
This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without
limitation, statements as to the expectations, beliefs and future expected
financial performance of the Company that are based on current expectations and
are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected by the Company. Among the
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following:
oil, natural gas and other commodity prices; the level of offshore expenditures
by energy companies; the general economy, including inflation; weather
conditions in the Company's principal operating areas; and environmental and
other laws and regulations. Other relevant factors have been disclosed in the
Company's filings with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
