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

1.       The consolidated results presented for the six-month and three-month
         periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 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, if any. These credits are scheduled
         to be available through the year 2002.

3.       On February 26, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
         proposal to (1) amend the Company's duration from fifty years to
         perpetuity; (2) amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to
         increase the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock from
         1,000,000 shares to 6,000,000 shares; (3) effect a 3-for-1 stock split
         of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and a corresponding reduction
         of the par value per share from $.10 to $.03 a; (4) adopt amendments to
         the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to change voting rights from
         one vote per shareholder to one vote per share; and (5) amend the
         Articles of Incorporation to provide that generally any merger,
         consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of the Company or sale of
         substantially all of the assets of the Company require the affirmative
         vote of the holders of 66 2/3% or more of the Company's outstanding 
         Class A Common Stock. On May 7, 1999, these proposals were put forth to
         a vote of the shareholders, for which a majority of the shareholders
         voted in favor of each proposal, causing these proposals to become
         effective on such date. The Class A Common Stock split will be effected
         in the form of a stock dividend to be distributed on June 1, 1999, to
         shareholders of record on May 7, 1999.

         All agreements concerning Common Stock of the Company, including the
         Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan and the Company's commitment
         under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors,
         provide for the issuance or commitment, respectively of additional
         shares of the Company's stock due to the declaration of the stock
         split. All references to number of shares, per share, and authorized
         share information in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
         statements has been adjusted to reflect the stock split and increase in
         authorized shares approved on May 7, 1999, at the Special Meeting of
         the Shareholders of the Company.

4.       In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which was adopted by the Company
         on December 31, 1997. The Company's diluted earnings per share
         calculation takes into account certain shares that may be issued under
         the Non-Employee Director's Deferred Compensation Plan. The following
         table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
         share:

5.       The Company has a revolving line of credit with Bank One, Texas, in the
         amount of $2,500,000. The credit facility matures on January 3, 2001.
         At March 31, 1999, and on May 4, 1999, the Company had $300,000
         outstanding under the facility.


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


         FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

         Forward-Looking Statements for 1999 and later periods are made in this
document. Such statements represent estimates of management based on the
Company's historical operating trends, its proved oil and gas reserves and other
information currently available to management. The Company cautions that the
forward-looking statements provided herein are subject to all the risks and
uncertainties incident to the acquisition, development and marketing of, and
exploration for oil and gas reserves. These risks include, but are not limited
to, oil and natural gas price risk, environmental risks, drilling risk, reserve
quantity risk and operations and production risk. For all the above reasons,
actual results may vary materially from the forward-looking statements and there
is no assurance that the assumptions used are necessarily the most likely to
occur.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At March 31, 1999 working capital was $425,156 as compared to $452,270
at September 30, 1998. Cash flow from operating activities for the first six
months of fiscal 1999 was $812,882 as compared to $1,797,578 for the first six
months of fiscal 1998. This decrease of $984,696 is directly attributable to a
decline in oil and gas sales revenue during the fiscal 1999 six months. The
decline in oil and gas sales revenues is discussed in detail in "Results of
Operations".

         Capital expenditures on oil and gas activities in the first six months
of 1999 amounted to $1,067,185 as compared to $1,337,353 in the first six months
of fiscal 1998. This decreased spending on oil and gas property development was
mainly a result of the low market price of crude oil. Several oil wells
projected to be drilled in the 1999 six month period were postponed until oil
prices recover or in some instances, may not be drilled. The Company expects to
continue its ongoing business strategy of actively pursuing the development of
its oil and gas properties by participating in the drilling of additional wells
on these properties. Currently, crude oil market prices are recovering and
management expects drilling in the last six months of fiscal 1999, to increase
over levels seen in the first six months of fiscal 1999. The Company has
historically funded this drilling and other capital expenditures as well as
overhead costs and dividend payments from operating cash flow. However, in
December 1998, the Company borrowed $300,000 under its bank line of credit to
help fund these costs.

         At March 31, 1999, the Company had remaining projected costs of
$1,300,465, for its share of drilling and equipment costs on working interest
wells which have been proposed or were in the process of being drilled or
completed. The Company's cash flow for the year may be less than the amount
needed to fully fund the above drilling obligations, overhead and dividend
payments. Thus, the bank line of credit may be utilized, on an as needed basis,
to allow the Company to continue its aggressive approach of developing its oil
and gas properties. The line of credit and expected cash flow are more than
sufficient to meet all expected capital obligations. Future capital expenditure
amounts may vary due to many factors, including drilling results, oil and gas
prices, industry conditions and acquisition opportunities, among others. A
significant acquisition of producing properties could increase capital
expenditures greatly and would again be financed by additional debt or possibly
debt and equity.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Revenues decreased for both the three month and six month periods ended
march 31,1999, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 1998. The decreases
were the result of oil and gas sales revenues decreasing 37% and 29% for the
1999 six month and three month periods, respectively, as compared to the same
periods in fiscal 1998. The chart below outlines the Company's production and
average sales prices for crude oil and natural gas for the three month and six
month periods of fiscal 1999 and 1998:

Three months ended 3/31/98            28,253         $ 14.33         433,206         $ 2.12
Six months ended 3/31/99              34,169         $ 11.90         835,885         $ 1.87
Six months ended 3/31/98              59,865         $ 16.93         875,254         $ 2.42
</TABLE>

        As shown by the chart both oil production and the average oil sales
price decreased for both the three month and six month periods of fiscal 1999,
compared to the respective periods in fiscal 1998. Oil sales volumes continued
to be adversely affected by the operator of the Dagger Draw Field in New Mexico
(the Company's major oil producing field) electing to shut-in those wells due to
low crude oil market prices. In late March these wells began being placed back
on production, thus, management expects oil production volumes to increase
somewhat during the third and fourth fiscal quarter of 1999. Gas sales volumes
remained relatively steady in the 1999 periods, as compared to the 1998 periods.
Management expects gas sales volumes to increase for the remainder of fiscal
1999, as compared to the first six months, as several new wells continue
producing and additional wells come on line.

        Costs and expenses increased marginally in both 1999 periods as compared
to the 1998 periods. The increases were principally due to increased
depreciation, depletion, amortization, and impairment costs (DD&A) in the 1999
periods, offset somewhat by decreased lease operating expenses and production
taxes in the 1999 periods. The increase DD&A expenses were the result of high
DD&A rates on several of the Company's newer wells in fiscal 1999. These new
wells are producing initial flush production, which increases the
units-of-production DD&A. In addition, DD&A rates were increased on several of
the Company's marginal producing wells during the 1999 six month period as these
wells are producing at less than expected rates, and may not have reserve
quantities which had been expected. Production taxes were lower in the fiscal
1999 periods as these taxes are paid as a percentage of oil and sales revenues.

        The provision for income taxes for the 1999 periods is at the statutory
rate. The rate in 1998 differs from the statutory rate due to tight sands
production tax credits and percentage depletion.

           Net income decreased substantially for both the 1999 periods, as
compared to the 1998 periods, due to the factors discussed above. Currently,
both oil and natural gas prices have increased over the prices seen in the first
six months of fiscal 1999. In addition, both oil and gas sales volumes are
expected to increase in the last six months of fiscal 1999, thus, financial
results for the last half of fiscal 1999 should improve as compared to the first
half of fiscal 1999. Should additional exploratory drilling prospects result in
non-productive wells which would increase exploration costs, and/or the market
price of oil or natural gas decline, expected earnings would be negatively
impacted.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

               Much of the computer software in use today may not be able to
accurately process data beyond the year 1999. The majority of computer systems
process data using two digits for the year of transaction, rather than the full
four digits. This may cause many systems to be unable to accurately process year
2000 transactions.

            The Company has completed its assessment of both its computer ("IT
systems") and operational equipment ("non-IT systems") as of June 30, 1998. The
Company has replaced its computer system hardware with new hardware which has
operating systems that are represented as being 2000 compliant. The Company's
software supplier is in the process of revising software licensed by the Company
with software represented to be year 2000 compliant. The system software
reprogramming is expected to be complete in mid 1999 with installation and
testing by July 1999. The Company has no non-IT systems which are expected to be
impacted in any material manner by year 2000.


                                      (6)
<PAGE>   9
            The cost of replacement of the Company's IT systems noted above was
less than $25,000. Cost of the year 2000 compliant system software will be
included in the Company's standard annual license fee. Other costs to access the
year 2000 matter or become compliant therewith are not expected to be
significant.

            Should any of the operators of the properties in which the Company
has an interest, purchasers who buy oil and gas from the Company's properties or
financial institutions ("External Agents") used by the Company not properly
address the year 2000 matter, there could be some delay in the Company receiving
payment for the sale of oil and gas. Should this occur, the Company may be
required to borrow additional amounts on its available line of credit, thus
incurring additional interest expense over that otherwise anticipated. However,
the Company does not expect the year 2000 will have a material impact on its
financial position or results of operations. The Company has no systems which
directly interface with External Agents.

Item 5.           Other Information

          (a) On February 26, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved
              five proposals to (1) amend the Company's duration from fifty
              years to perpetuity; (2) amend the Company's Articles of
              Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Class
              A Common Stock from 1,000,000 shares to 6,000,000 shares; (3)
              effect a 3-for-1 stock split of the outstanding Class A Common
              Stock and a corresponding reduction of the par value per share
              from $.10 to $.03 a; (4) adopt amendments to the Articles of
              Incorporation and Bylaws to change voting rights from one vote per
              shareholder to one vote per share; and (5) amend the Articles of
              Incorporation to provide that generally any merger, consolidation,
              liquidation or dissolution of the Company or sale of substantially
              all of the assets of the Company require the affirmative vote of
              the holders of 66 2/3% or more of the Company's outstanding Class 
              A Common Stock. On May 7, 1999, these proposals were put forth to
              a vote of the shareholders, for which a majority of the
              shareholders voted in favor of each proposal, causing these
              proposals to become effective on such date. The Class A Common
              Stock split will be effected in the form of a stock dividend to be
              distributed on June 1, 1999, to shareholders of record on May 7,
              1999.

                           Panhandle Royalty Company

We, the undersigned officers of Panhandle Royalty Company, an Oklahoma
corporation (the "Corporation"), in order to effect an amendment to the Articles
of Incorporation of the Corporation, hereby certify as follows:

     1.   The amendment set forth herein was duly adopted in accordance with the
          procedures set forth in Section 1077 of the Oklahoma General
          Corporation Act.

     2.   The Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended as
          follows:

               (i)  ARTICLE THREE of the Articles of Incorporation of the
                    Corporation is amended and restated in its entirety to read
                    as follows:

                         The duration of this corporation is perpetual.

              (ii)  ARTICLE FIVE of the Articles of Incorporation is amended and
                    restated in its entirety to read as follows:

                         The total number of shares of capital stock which the
                         Corporation shall have authority to issue is six
                         million five hundred shares (6,000,500), divided into
                         six million (6,000,000) shares of Class A Common Stock
                         of the par value of three and one-third cents (3 1/3
                         cents) per share and five hundred (500) shares of Class
                         B Common Stock of the par value of one and no/100
                         Dollars($1.00) per share.

                         With respect to all matters to which the holders of
                         Class A Common Stock are entitled to vote, each holder
                         of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to vote for
                         each share of Class A Common Stock that is registered
                         in such shareholder's name on the applicable record
                         date, except as may be otherwise required by law. Class
                         B Common Stock shall be nonvoting stock of the
                         corporation.

             (iii)  A new ARTICLE NINE shall be added to the Articles of
                    Incorporation to read as follows:
<PAGE>   2
                    No merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of the
                    corporation, nor any action that would result in the same or
                    other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
                    of the corporation shall be valid unless first approved by
                    the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six
                    and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding shares
                    of capital stock then entitled to vote on such matters;
                    provided, however, that if any such action has been approved
                    prior to the vote by the shareholders by a two-thirds of the
                    corporation's whole Board, the affirmative vote of the
                    holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital
                    stock then entitled to vote on such matters shall be
                    required, to the extent such shareholder approval is
                    otherwise required by the Oklahoma General Corporation Act.

                    The provisions set forth in this Article may not be
                    repealed, altered or amended, in any respect whatsoever,
                    unless such repeal, alteration or amendment is approved by
                    either (a) the affirmative vote of holders of sixty-six and
                    two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the shares of capital stock
                    of the corporation then issued and outstanding and entitled
                    to vote on such matters, or (b) the affirmative vote of
                    two-thirds of the whole Board of the corporation and the
                    affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of
                    the corporation's capital stock then issued and outstanding
                    and entitled to vote on such matters.

     3.   The remaining paragraphs of Articles of Incorporation shall remain in
          full force and effect and shall not be affected by this amendment.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned officers have signed this Certificate
     of Amendment on this 7th day of May, 1999.
