              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.     The consolidated results presented for the three-month periods ended
       December 31, 1998 and 1997 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.     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:

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 December 31, 1998 working capital was $501,074 as compared to $452,270
at September 30, 1998. Cash flow from operating activities for the first quarter
of fiscal 1999 was $254,432 as compared to $886,254 for the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. This decrease of $631,822 is directly attributable to a decline in
oil and gas sales revenue during the fiscal 1999 first quarter. 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 quarter of
1999 amounted to $580,976 as compared to $504,749 in the first quarter of fiscal
1998. This increased spending on oil and gas property development is a
continuation of the Company's business strategy which is to actively pursue the
development of the Company's oil and gas properties by participating in the
drilling of wells on these properties. The Company has historically funded this
drilling and other capital expenditures as well as overhead costs and dividend
payments from cash flow. However, in December 1998, the Company borrowed
$300,000 under its bank line of credit to help fund these costs.

       At December 31, 1998, the Company had remaining projected costs of
$1,451,781, 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. As the current low oil price is expected to continue well into fiscal
1999, 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 will 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 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 by $784,466 or
43%, as compared to the same period in fiscal 1998. The revenue reduction is due
to oil and gas sales revenues declining; which in turn, was caused by lower
sales prices for both oil and natural gas, and in addition, decreased sales
volumes for both oil and natural gas. The chart below summarizes the Company's
production and average sales prices for oil and natural gas.

</TABLE>

An oversupply of crude oil worldwide and a warm early heating season caused the
prices of oil and natural gas and natural gas production volumes to be lower
than the comparable fiscal 1998 quarter. Oil sales volumes were and continue to
be adversely affected by the operator of the



                                       (5)

<PAGE>   8




Dagger Draw Field in New Mexico (the Company's major oil producing field)
electing to shut-in those wells due to low crude oil prices. Management is
uncertain as to when full production will resume in the Dagger Draw Field.

        The above discussed shut-in oil wells along with continuing low sales
prices for oil and gas will continue to reduce the Company's oil and gas sales
revenues during the remainder of fiscal 1999. However, several new gas wells
will come on line in fiscal 1999, increasing gas sales volumes, and if gas sales
prices remain steady, new gas production should reduce the impact of lost oil
sales revenues.

        Costs and expenses decreased slightly, 4%, during the 1999 period as
compared to the 1998 period. The reduction in expenses was principally due to
reduced production taxes on oil and gas sales revenues, as these taxes are paid
as a percentage of oil and gas sales. Exploration costs increased $28,694, or
48%, in the 1999 first quarter somewhat offsetting the production tax decrease.
Exploration costs are principally dry hole costs associated with the drilling of
nonproductive exploratory wells. There is no way to predict these costs from
quarter to quarter and as the Company will continue drilling exploratory wells,
future exploration costs are anticipated.

        There is no provision for income taxes in the fiscal 1999 first quarter
due to the negligible income before provision for income taxes, coupled with the
fact the Company continues to be able to utilize tax credits from production of
"tight gas sands", natural gas, and excess percentage depletion.

        Net income decreased in the 1999 first quarter as compared to the 1998
first quarter as a result of decreased oil and gas sales revenues. Management
currently expects the depressed market price for oil to continue well into
fiscal 1999. This low price and reduced production volumes for oil, as discussed
above, will negatively impact earnings for the remainder of fiscal 1999.
Further, should oil and or gas prices go substantially lower, the Company could
be required to recognize an impairment provision on its oil and gas properties.
In addition, should more of the Company's current or projected exploratory
drilling prospects result in non-productive wells, earnings could be further
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.

        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
