                           PANHANDLE ROYALTY COMPANY
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1.   The consolidated results presented for the three-month and six-month
     periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited, but management of
     Panhandle Royalty Company believes that all adjustments necessary for a
     fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations for the
     periods have been included.  All such adjustments are of a normal
     recurring nature.  The consolidated results are not necessarily indicative
     of those to be expected for the full year.

2.   The Company utilizes tight gas sands production tax credits to reduce its
     federal income tax liability.  These credits are scheduled to be available
     through the year 2002.

3.   Earnings per share of common stock are computed using the weighted average
     number of shares outstanding during the period.

4.   The Company has a revolving line of credit with Bank One, Texas, in the
     amount of $2,500,000.  The credit matures on January 3, 1998.  At May 6,
     1996, the Company had $1,550,000 outstanding under the facility.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 1996, working capital was $668,402 as compared to $621,485 at
September 30, 1995.  Cash and cash equivalent were $651,630 as compared to
$443,862 at September 30, 1995.  Cash flow provided by operating activities for
the six-month period ended March 31, 1996 was $1,582,434 as compared to
$492,514 for the six-month period ended March 31, 1995.  The increase in cash
flow is the result of increased oil and gas sales revenues in the 1996 period
as compared to the 1995 period.

     The Company continues to increase its expenditures for the purchase of and
development of its oil and gas properties.  Expenditures for the 1996 six-month
period totaled $2,817,464 as compared to $611,607 in the comparable 1995
period.  $2,115,000 of the 1996 expenditues were used to purchase a 50%
interest in 65,632 net mineral acres located principally in Oklahoma and Texas.
This purchase was funded by accessing the Company's line-of-credit for
$2,100,000.  The properties are principally non-producing, however they should
add approximately $150,000 to cash flow during fiscal 1996, before
consideration of interest expense on the loan.  The Company intends to actively
pursue development of these properties by participating in drilling of
additional wells on the properties.

     At March 31, 1996 the Company had commitments for ongoing and proposed
drilling and equipment costs on new wells totaling $782,000.  These costs, as
well as Company operating costs for the remaining six months of fiscal 1996 are
expected to be funded from cash flow and available working capital.  In
addition, the Company anticipates having sufficient cash available to make
substantial principal payments on the bank line-of-credit.  However, as the
principal amount of the line-of-credit is not due and payable until 1998,
should cash flow be lower than expectations, principal payments could be scaled
back.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Revenues increased substantially for both the three-month and six-month
periods ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the comparable periods in 1995.
The increases were the result of oil and gas sales revenues increasing
$832,535, 121%, for the three-month period and $1,335,145, 98%, for the
six-month period.  The increases are the result of increased sales volumes and
sales prices for both natural gas and oil.

     The chart below outlines the Company's production and average sales prices
for oil and natural gas for the three- month and six-month periods of fiscal
1995 and 1996.

</TABLE>

       The increases in sales volumes and sales prices of natural gas are
principally due to the cold winter and the resulting increased demand for
natural gas.  The increase in oil sales volume continues to be in large part
the result of new wells coming on line in the Daggar Draw Field of New Mexico.
This field is the Company's largest oil producing field, and there continues to
be development drilling in the field.  The Company anticipates several
additional wells will be completed and begin producing in the field during the 
last half of fiscal 1996.  Also adding somewhat to this oil volume increase were
increases in West Texas reef and Louisiana Wilcox sand production.  Management
expects oil production volumes and gas production volumes to remain relatively
stable for the remainder of fiscal 1996.

       Costs and expenses increased $207,848 in the 1996 quarter as compared to
the 1995 quarter and increased $395,941 in the 1996 six-month period as
compared to the 1995 six-month period.  In both the three-month and six-month
periods of 1996 lease operating expenses and production taxes, depreciation,
depletion and amortization (DD&A), general and administrative costs and
interest expense all increased, while dry hole costs decreased.

       Lease operating expenses and production taxes were higher due to the
severence taxes paid on the increased oil and gas sales revenues in each
period.  In addition, workover costs in the 1996 periods on wells in Louisiana
and New Mexico increased lease operating costs.  DD&A increased in the 1996
period as the Company computes DD&A on the units of production method, which
caused increased DD&A costs when production levels increased in 1996.  In
addition, several wells were deemed marginal producers in 1996 and DD&A rates
were increased on those wells.

       General and administrative costs increased due to increased salary
levels, increased legal costs and higher insurance costs.  Interest expense was
increased in the 1996 periods as the Company borrowed $2,100,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 to make the property acquisition discussed above.  Until
that time, the Company had no debt.  Management expects costs and expenses will
remain higher than 1995 levels for the remainder of fiscal 1996.

       Dry hole costs were the only costs lower in fiscal 1996 than 1995.
These costs will vary from quarter to quarter.  The Company will continue
drilling exploratory wells, which, if nonproductive result in dry hole costs.



                                      (5)
<PAGE>   8
       The provision for income taxes in the 1996 periods were substantially
higher due to the significant increase in income before taxes.  However, the
provision for taxes continues to be favorably affected by tax credits available
from the production of "tight gas sands" natural gas.

       Net income and net income per share were both substantially increased
for the three-month and six-month periods of 1996, as compared to the 1995
periods.  The increases are a result of increased oil and gas sales volumes and
sales prices, somewhat offset by increased costs and expenses.  Sales volumes
are expected to remain at an increased level for both natural gas and oil for
the remainder of fiscal 1996.  Thus, management expects financial results to
continue to show improvement over 1995 levels.  However, should any of the
Company's exploratory drilling projects result in dry holes, earnings would be
negatively impacted, as the drilling costs would be expensed as dry hole costs.
