                            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, 2000 and 1999 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.   All references to number of shares, per share, and authorized share
     information in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
     have been adjusted to reflect the three-for-one stock split and increase in
     authorized shares approved on May 7, 1999, at a Special Meeting of the
     Shareholders of the Company. 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.

4.   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 had a revolving line of credit with Bank One, Texas, in the
     amount of $2,500,000. The credit facility's maturity was January 3, 2001.
     At December 31, 1999, the Company had $200,000 outstanding under the Bank
     One facility. On December 29, 1999, the Company instituted a $5,000,000
     line of credit with BancFirst in Oklahoma City, OK. This facility matures
     on December 31, 2002. On January 4, 2000, the Company paid off the $200,000
     due Bank One and canceled the line of credit. At May 2, 2000, the Company
     had $300,000 outstanding under the BancFirst facility.

6.   On January 4, 2000, the Company closed on the acquisition of producing and
     non-producing mineral properties at a cost of $444,617. The acquisition was
     funded from cash on hand and $300,000 of borrowings under the Company's new
     line of credit discussed in Note 5.

7.   On May 5, 2000, the Company made an offer to purchase a small, privately
     owned oil and gas exploration company for $2,068,000. The Company would
     acquire only producing oil and gas properties, and related leasehold, and
     no other assets or assume any liabilities.

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

         FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

         Forward-Looking Statements for 2000 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, 2000 working capital was $571,485 as compared to $612,219
at September 30, 1999. Cash flow from operating activities for the six months
ended March 31, 2000 was $2,168,722 as compared to $812,882 for the 1999 six
month period. This increase of $1,355,840 is principally attributable to
increased oil and gas sales revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2000.
This increase in oil and gas sales revenues is discussed in detail in "Results
of Operations".

      Capital expenditures for oil and gas activities for the first six months
of fiscal 2000, amounted to $2,234,556 as compared to $1,067,185 in the first
six months of fiscal 1999. This increased spending on oil and gas property
development and exploration is the result of increased oil and natural gas
market prices causing new wells to be drilled and Panhandle's acquisition of
producing and non producing mineral properties in the amount of $444,617 in the
fiscal 2000 period. As the Company does not operate any wells, as wells are
proposed by operators on the Company's mineral property holdings, or in some
cases, on leasehold from third parties, the Company agrees to participate in
drilling these wells. The Company, at March 31, 2000, had remaining projected
costs of $2,278,957 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 has historically funded drilling and other capital
expenditures, overhead costs and dividend payments from operating cash flow. As
mentioned above, the Company purchased, in January 2000, producing and non
producing mineral properties at a cost of $444,617. Part of this acquisition and
some drilling costs in December 1999, were funded by borrowings under the
Company's line-of-credit discussed in Note 5. of Item 1. Consolidated Financial
Statements included herein.

         The Company on May 5, 2000, made an offer to purchase a small privately
owned oil and gas exploration company for $2,068,000. The company owns working
interests in numerous producing oil and gas wells. Panhandle will not acquire
any other assets of the company. Should the offer or a subsequent counter offer
be accepted, Panhandle would utilize funds under the line-of-credit to finance
the purchase. There will be sufficient funds available from projected cash flow
and the line-of-credit to meet all expected costs and capital obligations for
the remainder of fiscal 2000 and beyond. Panhandle also has equity available
should a large acquisition of oil and gas properties, or a company purchase,
increase capital expenditures to a level above available cash flow and bank
financing.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Revenues increased significantly for the three month and six month
periods ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 1999.
This increase is a function of increased gas sales volumes and increased sales
prices for both oil and natural gas. 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 2000 and fiscal 1999.

</TABLE>

         As shown in the above chart, gas sales volumes increased for both the
three month and six month periods of fiscal 2000. These increased sales volumes
are principally due to production from the Potato Hills Field in eastern
Oklahoma. Management currently expects gas production to remain relatively
steady to slightly increase over the remaining half of fiscal 2000, and for
natural gas sales prices to remain firm for the remainder of fiscal 2000. Oil
sales prices more than doubled in both the fiscal 2000 periods, while sales
volumes increased 24% for the 2000 three month period and were flat for the 2000
six month period. The increase in oil sales volumes for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, over the same 1999 period, is a result of the Dagger Draw Field
in New Mexico being back on production in fiscal 2000, verses being essentially
shut-in in the 1999 period. Certain of these wells continue to experience
production declines from pre-shut-in volumes. It is expected, this problem will
continue for at least the remainder of fiscal 2000, but production from several
new oil wells coming on line should offset some of the decline. Currently,
management expects oil prices to remain in the mid to low $20's for the
remainder of fiscal 2000, which should allow oil sales revenues to remain steady
for the remainder of fiscal 2000.

         Costs and expenses increased 17% and 18% respectively, for the three
month and six month periods ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the same
periods of fiscal 1999. These increases were principally the result of increased
production taxes on the increased oil and gas sales revenues and increased
depreciation, depletion, amortization, and impairment costs (DD&A). Increased
DD&A costs were the result of higher production volumes causing DD&A to be
higher on several newer wells. Exploration costs were down in both year 2000
periods as fewer or less costly dry holes were drilled in the 2000 fiscal year
periods. General and administrative expenses increased marginally in each 2000
period principally as a result of payroll and related costs.

         The Company's tax provision increased in both 2000 periods as the
Company's income before taxes went from a loss to substantial income. The
provision for income taxes differs from the statutory rate due to benefits from
tight gas sands gas production tax credits and percentage depletion.

         The Company's earnings benefited from the increase in oil and gas sales
revenues, explained above. It currently appears, earnings for the remainder of
fiscal 2000 will benefit from continuing increased sales prices for both oil and
gas, as compared to 1999 prices, and from increased gas sales volumes. However,
should additional exploratory drilling projects result in non productive wells,
increasing exploration costs, or the market price of oil and or natural gas
decline, expected earnings would be negatively impacted.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

         The Company has completed its assessment of both its computer ("IT
systems") and operational equipment ("non-IT systems"). The Company replaced its
computer system hardware with new hardware which has operating systems which are
year 2000 compliant and the Company's software has been replaced with software
which is year 2000 compliant. The system software currently being used, is the
year 2000 software. It has been used to process all business for fiscal 2000 to
the date of this statement and no material problems have developed . 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 $30,000. Any additional costs to assess the year 2000 matter or become
compliant therewith are not expected to be significant.

         Management currently felt the most likely worst case scenario of a Year
2000 effect on the Company would be the operators of the oil & gas 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 addressing the year 2000 matter, thus, causing a delay in
the Company receiving payment for the sale of its oil and gas. Should this have
occurred, the Company would have been required to borrow additional amounts on
its available line of credit to fund normal operating and capital costs,
incurring additional interest expense over that otherwise anticipated. However,
the Company has not experienced any year 2000 problems that have had a material
impact on its financial position or results of operations. The Company has no
systems which directly interface with External Agents. To date, there have been
no material problems related to year 2000 with External Agents.
