NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which consists only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the results of the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2002, and June 30, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company's 2002 First and Second Quarter Reports on Form 10-Q. As announced on February 25, 2002, the Company and Key Production Company, Inc. (Key) have signed a definitive agreement that provides for Helmerich & Payne to contribute the assets and liabilities of the Oil and Gas Division to a newly formed subsidiary, Cimarex Energy Co. (Cimarex), and distribute on a pro-rata basis all of the shares of stock of Cimarex to the shareholders of Helmerich & Payne. Cimarex would then merge with Key. Cimarex Energy Co. will be a new publicly traded exploration and production company. The transaction will close after receipt of necessary Key shareholder and regulatory approvals. The Company has received a favorable private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with regard to the transaction. Closing will likely occur prior to the end of the Company's fiscal year. Approval of the transaction by Helmerich and Payne shareholders will not be required. 2. The $.075 cash dividend declared in March, 2002, was paid June 3, 2002. On June 5, 2002, a cash dividend of $.08 per share was declared for shareholders of record on August 15, 2002, payable September 3, 2002. 3. Inventories consist of materials and supplies. 4.

After-tax gains from security sales were $1,423,000 and $1,497,000 ($0.03 per share)for the same periods in fiscal 2001. 5. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities, which excludes those accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

At June 30, 2002, the Company had committed bank lines of credit totaling $100 million; $50 million expires in February 2003 and $50 million expires in October 2003. Additionally, the Company had uncommitted credit facilities totaling $10 million. Collectively, the Company had $50 million in outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit totaling $10.6 million against these lines at June 30, 2002. Concurrent with a $50 million borrowing under the facility that expires October 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional value of $50 million and an expiration date of October 2003. The swap effectively converts this $50 million facility from a floating rate of LIBOR plus 50 basis points to a fixed effective rate of 5.38 percent. Excluding the impact of the interest rate swap, the average interest rate for the borrowings at June 30, 2002, was approximately 2.34 percent on a 360-day basis. In July 2002, the Company modified its short-term revolving credit arrangements by replacing the above mentioned $50 million committed line that expires in February 2003 and a $10 million uncommitted line with a $125 million committed unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in July, 2005. Each year the Company can request a one year extension on the facility. The facility requires quarterly interest payments with the principal payment due at the expiration date. The interest rate on the facility is LIBOR plus 87.5 basis points. The Company is also in the process of negotiating a $200 million intermediate term debt facility that would provide staged maturities ranging from 5 to 12 years. The Company expects to finalize this arrangement in mid-August 2002. Under the credit agreements currently in effect, the Company must meet certain requirements regarding levels of debt, net worth, cash flows and earnings. The Company met all requirements at June 30, 2002. -8- HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued (Unaudited) 8. Earnings per Share - Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock. A reconciliation of the weighted-average common shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis is as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Basic weighted-average shares 49,855 50,467 49,793 50,159 Effect of dilutive shares: Stock options 691 735 498 743 Restricted stock 28 54 15 39 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 719 789 513 782 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Diluted weighted-average shares 50,574 51,256 50,306 50,941 ========== ========== ========== ========== </Table> 9. Income Taxes - The Company's effective tax rate was 43% in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to 39.5% in the same period of fiscal 2001. Costs and expenses related to certain foreign locations for which the Company does not receive a tax benefit resulted in the current year estimated effective tax rate of 43%. The two major reasons for the effective tax rate increase are that the Company had larger net operating loss carry forwards from Venezuela in fiscal 2001, and the Company does not receive a tax benefit from the devaluation losses in Argentina and Venezuela. 10. Interest Rate Risk Management - The Company uses derivatives as part of an overall operating strategy to moderate certain financial market risks and its exposure to interest rate risk from long-term debt. To manage this risk, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap to exchange floating rate for fixed rate interest payments over the remaining life of the debt. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had an interest rate swap outstanding with a notional principal amount of $50 million. (See Note 7) The Company's accounting policy for these instruments is based on its designation of such instruments as hedging transactions. An instrument is designated as a hedge based in part on its effectiveness in risk reduction and one-to-one matching of derivative instruments to underlying transactions. The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. -9- HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued (Unaudited) For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure of variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The change in value of the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of the future cash flows of the risk being hedged, if any, is recognized in the current earnings during the period of change. The Company's interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge and is expected to be 100% effective in hedging the exposure of variability in the future interest payments attributable to the debt because the terms of the interest swap correlate with the terms of the debt. 11. Currency Devaluation - The uncertainty regarding economic, banking and currency stability continues without improvement in Argentina. The development of a solution to the crisis is uncertain, increasing the potential for additional currency declines in the near term. The Argentine peso currently trades in the range of 3 to 3.6 pesos to one U.S. dollar. The Company has recorded $1.2 million in pre-tax currency devaluation losses related to the peso during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company could be exposed to additional currency losses of between $1 million and $2 million during the remainder of fiscal 2002. The Company currently has one rig under contract and working in Argentina. Also, as a result of a severe decline in the value of the Venezuelan bolivar due to political instability and a change in the Venezuelan government's exchange policy, pre-tax currency devaluation losses of $3.1 million and $0.5 million were recorded in the first nine months and the third quarter of fiscal 2002, respectively. Subsequent to June 30, 2002, the bolivar has improved in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Should an additional devaluation of the bolivar occur, the Company could be exposed to additional currency losses of between $0.5 million and $1.4 million during the remainder of fiscal 2002. The Company currently has three rigs under contract and working in Venezuela. 12. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments - Litigation Settlement - The Company was a defendant in Verdin v. R&B Falcon Drilling USA, Inc., et al., a civil action in the United States District Court, Galveston, Texas. In May 2001, the Company reached an agreement in principle with Plaintiff's counsel to settle all claims pending court approval of the settlement. In the third quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company incurred a net charge of $3.25 million to contract drilling expense based on the pending settlement. The Court approved the settlement on April 25, 2002. In June, 2002, the Company paid $10 million to settle all claims in this litigation. The Company was reimbursed $6.75 million in June, 2002 by the Company's insurer. -10- HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued (Unaudited) Other Matters - The Company is a defendant to claims of drainage of gas from two properties that it operates. The royalty owner plaintiffs have filed suit on behalf of themselves and a class of similarly situated royalty owners in two 640 acre spacing units. The plaintiffs allege that the two units have suffered approximately 12 billion cubic feet of gross gas drainage. Although the plaintiffs have not specified in their pleadings the amount of damages alleged, the plaintiffs have orally stated that the royalty owner class has sustained actual damages of approximately $6.2 million exclusive of interest and costs. The Company estimates that the share of such alleged damages attributable to its working interest ownership would total approximately $1.0 million exclusive of interest and costs. Plaintiffs further allege that, as a former operator, the Company is liable for all damages attributable to the drainage. The Company believes that it is liable only for its working interest share of any actual damages attributable to the alleged drainage. In the event that the Company is held liable for the full amount of any actual damages, the Company will seek contribution, indemnification and/or other appropriate relief from all other working interest owners for their portion of the alleged drainage that is attributable to the interest of those other owners. The Company, on a regular basis, makes commitments for the purchase of contract drilling equipment. At June 30, 2002, the Company had commitments outstanding of approximately $170 million for the purchase of drilling equipment. 13. Segment Information - The Company evaluates performance of its segments based upon operating profit or loss from operations before income taxes, which includes revenues from external and internal customers; operating costs; depreciation, depletion and amortization; dry holes and abandonments and taxes other than income taxes. Intersegment sales are accounted for in the same manner as sales to unaffiliated customers. Other includes investments in available-for-sale securities, equity owned investments, as well as corporate operations. -11- HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC.

After tax, the impairment charges reduced net income by approximately $1,528,000 and $4,903,000 ($0.03 and $0.10 per share) for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively. Included in depreciation, depletion and amortization for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2001 were impairment charges of $642,000 and $4,450,000 for proved Exploration and Production properties. After tax, the impairment charges reduced net income by approximately $398,000 and $2,759,000 ($0.01 and $0.05 per share) for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2001, respectively. -14- Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION June 30, 2002 RISK FACTORS AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes and management's narrative analysis contained in the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company's fiscal 2002 First and Second Quarter Report on Form 10-Q and the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein. The Company's future operating results may be affected by various trends and factors, which are beyond the Company's control. These include, among other factors, fluctuations in natural gas and crude oil prices, expiration or termination of drilling contracts, currency exchange losses, changes in general economic and political conditions, rapid or unexpected changes in technologies and uncertain business conditions that affect the Company's businesses. Accordingly, past results and trends should not be used by investors to anticipate future results or trends. With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed in Management's Discussion & Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions. The Company cautions that, while it believes such assumptions to be reasonable and makes them in good faith, assumed facts almost always vary from actual results. The differences between assumed facts and actual results can be material. The Company is including this cautionary statement to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. The factors identified in this cautionary statement are important factors (but not necessarily all important factors) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THIRD QUARTER 2002 VS THIRD QUARTER 2001 The Company reported net income of $28,218,000 ($0.56 per share) from revenues of $185,467,000 for the third quarter ended June 30, 2002, compared to net income of $40,437,000 ($0.79 per share) from revenues of $217,222,000 for the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 included $15,468,000 ($0.30 per share) of after-tax gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities compared to $1,423,000 ($0.03 per share) in the third quarter of fiscal 2001. OIL & GAS DIVISION EXPLORATION and PRODUCTION reported operating profit of $8.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $23.9 million for the same period of fiscal 2001. Oil & gas revenues decreased to $32.5 million compared with $52.3 million in 2001. -15- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION June 30, 2002 (Continued) Natural gas revenues decreased to $27.7 million from $46.5 million, or 40 percent. The $18.8 million decrease in gas revenues was the result of significantly lower gas prices ($14.4 million decrease) and a 12% decrease in gas volumes ($4.4 million decrease). Natural gas prices averaged $2.94 per mcf and $4.27 per mcf for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively, while natural gas volumes averaged 103.5 Mmcf/d and 117.8 Mmcf/d, respectively. Oil revenues decreased to $4.5 million from $5.4 million. The $0.9 million decrease in oil revenues was the result of both lower prices ($0.4 million decrease) and volumes ($0.5 million decrease). Crude oil prices averaged $24.34 per Bbl and $26.12 per Bbl for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively, while crude oil volumes averaged 2,044 Bbls/d and 2,224 Bbls/d, respectively. Exploration expenses were approximately $5.6 million and $9.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. Dry hole costs were $3.1 million for the quarter compared with $2.6 million in 2001 and impairment of undeveloped leases was $2.4 million compared with $4.2 million in 2001. There were no geophysical expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $2.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The decreases were the result of reduced exploration activity in fiscal 2002. Operating expenses decreased to $6.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $9.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. Lower production taxes of $2.5 million, as the result of lower gas prices than last year's third quarter, was the primary reason for the decrease. The Company participated in an additional 29 wells during the third quarter, of which 24 were producing, waiting on pipeline connections or completing. Of the 29 wells drilled, 6 were wildcat wells, of which 3 were successful and 3 were dry holes. For the first nine months of fiscal 2002, the Company participated in 51 wells, of which 39 were completed or are completing, and 12 were dry holes. The Company expects to participate in 94 gross wells for the year. NATURAL GAS MARKETING segment reported an operating loss of $0.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to an operating profit of $0.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2001. -16- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION June 30, 2002 (Continued) DOMESTIC DRILLING Domestic contract drilling revenues for the third quarter of 2002 and 2001 were $80.6 million and $93.3 million, respectively. Operating profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 was $14.4 million, compared with $30.3 million in last year's third quarter. The decrease in operating profit is primarily the result of reduced performance in the Company's land operations. Land dayrates averaged approximately $11,500 per day in the current quarter, compared to $15,000 per day in the third quarter of fiscal 2001. Land rig utilization was 85% and 98% for the third quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The average number of land rigs available in the U.S. has increased 30%, from 44.6 rigs in the third quarter of fiscal 2001, to 58.1 rigs during the current quarter. The increase is due to the additional FlexRigs constructed by the Company over the past year, as well as four rigs moved from international locations to the U.S. Operating profit from offshore operations decreased approximately 19% in the current quarter compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2001, as rig utilization was 81% and 100% for the third quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Offshore operating profit for the third quarter of 2002 was helped by the commencement of work for the Company's new offshore platform rigs 205 and 206. This improvement was more than offset with two rigs down for the entire quarter, with plans for modification, and another rig going to standby rates for the quarter. As previously announced, the Company has begun construction of its third series of the H&P-designed FlexRig. The current series of rigs, named FlexRig3, is being assembled in the Company's construction facility in Houston. Two of the new FlexRig3s recently were deployed to the field to commence operations for customers. An additional 23 rigs are scheduled to be completed within the next 12-14 months. The next six FlexRig3s to be completed are already committed to specific customers for work. Rig utilization for all FlexRigs since 1998 have averaged over 95%. Upon the projected completion in late 2003 of the FlexRig3 project, it is estimated that the Company's land rig fleet in the U.S. will total 83 rigs, representing a 43% increase over the 58 rigs available during the current quarter. INTERNATIONAL DRILLING International Drilling's operating profit decreased to $3.5 million from $8.0 million. Revenues decreased to $31.4 million from $40.5 milion. The operating profit decrease is due primarily to decreases in Venezuela, Colombia and Equatorial Guinea, partially offset by continued improvement from Ecuador as the result of increased margins. Colombia decreased from three rigs working in the third quarter of 2001 to one rig in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. The one remaining rig in Colombia is scheduled to end its contract in September 2002. The decrease in Venezuela is the result of lower margins compared to last year and in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 there was a one-time contract settlement of $2.0 million Rig utilization averaged 48% for the current quarter, compared to 60% in the third quarter of 2001. Rig activity continued to be low in all international countries except in Ecuador where the rig utilization averaged 86% for the quarter. Rig activity in Venezuela, where the Company operates 14 of its 33 international rigs, averaged 38% for the quarter. -17- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION June 30, 2002 (Continued) OTHER Other revenues increased approximately $20.3 million over last year, including a $22.5 million increase in gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities. In the current quarter, the Company sold all of its holdings in Bank One Corporation, Kerr McGee, Oneok and Sun Co. (see note 4). Dividend income decreased $0.4 million for the quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2001. Interest income decreased to $0.2 million compared to $1.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 as interest rates and average cash invested both decreased in 2002. Interest expense was a credit of $0.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to a credit of $1.6 million for the same period of 2001. In 2002, third quarter interest expense included credits for capitalized interest and ad valorem tax settlements of $1.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the same period of 2001, the capitalized interest was $0.4 million and the credit for ad valorem tax settlements was $1.9 million, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased to $4.1 million from $3.4 million, due to increased professional services, pension expense and administrative labor and benefits. The company's effective income tax rate increased to 43.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to 39.0% for the same period of 2001. The increase is due primarily to certain costs and expenses related to foreign locations for which the Company does not receive a tax benefit, including currency devaluation losses. NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 VS NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 The Company reported net income of $54,694,000 ($1.09 per share) from revenues of $515,190,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2002, compared with net income of $116,026,000 ($2.28 per share) from revenues of $631,341,000 for the first nine months of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 and 2001 included $15,792,000 ($0.31 per share) from the sale of investment securities compared with $1,497,000 ($0.03 per share) for the same period of fiscal 2001. OIL AND GAS DIVISION EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION reported an operating profit of $7.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to $95.0 million for the same period of fiscal 2001. Oil & gas revenues decreased to $80.4 million compared to $184.9 million in 2001. -18- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION June 30, 2002 (Continued) Natural gas revenues decreased to $67.6 million from $166.1 million, or 59 percent. The $98.5 million decrease in gas revenues was the result of significantly lower gas prices ($90.4 million decrease) and a 10% decrease in gas volumes ($8.1 million decrease). Natural gas prices averaged $2.34 per mcf and $5.16 per mcf for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 and 2001 respectively. Natural gas volumes averaged 105.5 Mmcf/d and 117.5 Mmcf/d, respectively. Oil revenues decreased to $12.0 million from $18.0 million. The $6.0 million decrease in oil revenues was the result of both lower prices ($4.5 million decrease) and volumes ($1.5 million decrease). Crude oil prices averaged $21.33 per Bbl and $28.65 per Bbl for the nine months of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. Crude oil volumes averaged 2,052 Bbls/d and 2,303 Bbls/d, respectively. Exploration expenses were approximately $16.8 million and $31.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. A decrease in exploration activity in 2002, as a result of lower gas prices, is the primary reason for the $14.5 million decrease in exploration expenses. Dry hole costs were $6.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to $14.1 million in the same period of 2001. Impairment of undeveloped leases and geophysical expense were $8.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to $11.2 million and $6.0 million, respectively, in the same period of fiscal 2001. Operating expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 were $21.9 million compared to $28.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The $6.9 million decrease is primarily the result of decreased production taxes in 2002 due to significantly lower commodity prices in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $30.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to $26.1 million in the same period of 2001. Impairment charges for producing properties of $7.9 million and $4.5 million were included in these respective amounts. After-tax, the impairment charge reduced net income in 2002 and 2001 by approximately $4.9 million ($0.10 per share) and $2.8 million ($0.05 per share), respectively. The remaining increase of $1.2 million is due to higher depreciation rates as the result of lower reserves at September 30, 2001. NATURAL GAS MARKETING segment reported an operating profit of $1.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to $4.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The significant decrease is the result of very favorable spot market prices in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, as gas prices were increasing dramatically. Those same conditions did not occur during the first nine months of fiscal 2002. DOMESTIC DRILLING Domestic Drilling's operating profit was $55.7 million and $68.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001, respectively. Revenues for the same periods were $251.4 million and $228.8, respectively. The decrease in operating profit is due -19- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION June 30, 2002 (Continued) primarily to reduced performance in land operations, with average revenue per day of approximately $12,600 in the first nine months of fiscal 2002, compared with $15,420 in the same period of fiscal 2001. Land rig utilization was 83% and 95% for the first nine months of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. Operating profit from offshore operations was down 3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2002, compared to the same period in fiscal 2001. Offshore rig utilization was 90% and 97% for the same periods, respectively. Although land dayrates are still soft and difficult to predict in future months, there are signs that they are stabilizing, if commodity prices stay at present levels. Rig utilization for both land and offshore operations should remain at third quarter levels in the fourth quarter, as the two new platform rigs 205 and 206 will work a full quarter. INTERNATIONAL DRILLING International Drilling's operating profit decreased to $11.8 million from $19.3 million. Revenues decreased to $109.6 from $114.3 million. The decrease in operating profit is due primarily to a 15% reduction in revenue days and currency devaluation losses in Venezuela and Argentina. Operating profit in Colombia decreased $4.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to the same period of 2001 as there was one rig working in 2002 and an average of 3.4 rigs in 2001. Equatorial Guinea operating profit decreased $1.2 million due to an increase in operating expenses. Operating profit in Ecuador increased $4.6 million for the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 as revenue per day increased by 25%. In Argentina, operating profit decreased $2.3 million in 2002 compared with 2001 as the average rigs working decreased from 2.8 rigs in the first nine months of 2001 to 1.3 rigs in 2002. Argentina also recorded a currency devaluation loss of $1.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 due to devaluation of the Argentina peso. Although some stability has been achieved, there is still significant uncertainty regarding economic, banking and currency stability. Operations in Venezuela incurred currency valuation losses in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 of $3.1 million compared to $0.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2001. The severe decline in the value of the Venezuelan Bolivar relative to the U.S. dollar is the result of a change in the government's exchange policy and general instability in the country. Should additional devaluation of the bolivar occur, the Company could be exposed to additional currency losses of between $0.5 million and $1.4 million during the remainder of fiscal 2002. OTHER Other revenues increased approximately $17 million in the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001. Gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities in the first nine months of 2002 were $25.4 million compared to $2.6 million in the same period of 2001. Dividend income decreased from $3.1 million in 2001 to $1.8 million in 2002 as the result of reduced equity holdings and lower money market investments in fiscal 2002. Interest income was $1.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to $4.5 million in the same period of 2001. The decrease is the result of lower interest rates and decreased cash balances in fiscal 2002. -20- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION June 30, 2002 (Continued) Interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2001 was a credit of $1.0 million compared with an expense of $32,000 in fiscal 2002. In the first nine months of fiscal 2002, interest expense included credits for capitalized interest and ad valorem tax settlements of $1.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the same period of fiscal 2001, the credits were $0.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. General and administrative expense increased from $11.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2001 to $14.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. The increase is related to labor and employee benefits, advertising costs, professional services related to establishing the Company's Exploration & Production Division as a separate public entity, and pension expense. The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 43.0% for the nine months compared to 39.9% for the first nine months of fiscal 2001. The increase is due primarily to certain costs and expenses related to foreign locations for which the Company does not receive a tax benefit, including currency devaluation losses. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities was $145.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2002, compared with $211.3 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in cash flows was primarily the result of significantly lower cash flow from the Exploration and Production segment due to decreased commodity prices. Capital expenditures were $257.5 million and $186.7 million for the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase is primarily the result of new rig construction in the Company's U.S. land operations. The Company anticipates capital expenditures to be approximately $350 million for fiscal 2002. Internally generated cash flows are projected to be approximately $200 million for fiscal 2002 and cash balances were $48 million at June 30, 2002. The Company's indebtedness totaled $50 million as of June 30, 2002, as described in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. To help finance the future capital expenditure requirements, the Company is currently negotiating a $200 million intermediate term debt facility. This facility will provide for staged maturities from 5 to 12 years. The Company expects to finalize this facility in mid-August 2002. To provide short-term flexibility, the Company increased its revolving bank lines of credit to a total of $175 million. (see Note 7) In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company sold its remaining shares in Bank One Corporation (175,000 shares), Kerr McGee (150,000 shares), Oneok (450,000 shares) and Sun Co. (312,546 shares) for total proceeds of approximately $36.8 million. The Company's remaining stock portfolio has a market value of approximately $180 million. There were no other significant changes in the Company's financial position since September 30, 2001. -21- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC. June 30, 2002 Item 3.
