              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
         financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
         normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
         position as of March 31, 1995, and September 30, 1994, and the results
         of operations for the six months ended March 31, 1995, and 1994, and
         the statements of cash flows for the six months then ended.  The
         results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 1995, and
         March 31, 1994, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
         expected for the full year.

         1995.  On March 1, 1995, a cash dividend of $.125 per share was
         declared for shareholders of record on May 15, 1995, payable June 1,

4.       Income from investments include $1,838,000 gains on sales of
         securities during the first six months of 1995, and no gains on sales
         of securities during the first six months of 1994.

5.       Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
         Standards Board Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS
         109).  The cumulative effect on prior years of adopting the change was
         recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 1993, and increased net
         income for the quarter by $4.0 million.

6.       In May, 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
         of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
         Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  The Company adopted the
         provisions of the new standard for investments held as of or acquired
         after October 1, 1994.  In accordance with the Statement, prior period
         financial statements have not been restated to reflect the change in
         accounting principle.  The change had no effect on net income.  The
         opening balance of shareholders' equity was increased by $34,435,000
         (net of $21,106,000 in deferred income taxes) to reflect the net
         unrealized holding gains on securities classified as
         available-for-sale previously carried at lower of cost or market.

         During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the net unrealized holding
         gains of the Company's securities classified as available-for-sale
         increased  $5,136,000 (net of $3,147,000 in deferred income taxes).

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                 MARCH 31, 1995


         The Company reported net income of $5,820,000 ($0.24 per share) on
revenues of $79,301,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 1995, compared
with net income of $6,155,000 ($0.25 per share) on revenues of $87,883,000
during the second quarter of fiscal 1994.  Net income for the first six months
totaled $10,236,000 ($0.42 per share), compared with $17,408,000 ($0.71 per
share) last year.  Last year's first six months' net income includes the
cumulative effect on prior years' income ($0.16 per share) caused by the change
in accounting method for deferred taxes as required by FASB Statement 109.

         Net income for the six months ended March 31, 1995 includes $1,117,000
($0.05 per share) after-tax gains from the sale of securities compared with no
after-tax gains for the same period in 1994.

         The Exploration and Production Division reported operating losses of
$1,691,000 and $2,229,000 for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal
1995, respectively.  Operating profits of $4,333,000 and $9,445,000, were
reported for the same periods in fiscal 1994.  The significant drop in
operating profits from 1994 to 1995 is the result of lower natural gas prices,
reduced natural gas production volumes and increased dry hole costs.

         Natural gas prices for the second quarter and first six months of 1995
averaged $1.27 per mcf and $1.33 per mcf, respectively, compared with $1.86 per
mcf and $1.85 per mcf in the same periods of 1994.  Natural gas volumes for the
first six months of 1995 were 71.9 mmcf/day compared with 85.3 mmcf/day for the
first six months of 1994.  Dry hole expense for the first six months of 1995
was $2,845,000 compared with $436,000 for the same period in 1994.

         The Contract Drilling Division reported an operating profit of
$10,593,000 for the first six months of 1995, compared with $7,976,000 for the
same period of fiscal 1994.  The 32.8% increase in operating profit was mainly
from international operations, including both Venezuela and Colombia where
profitability increased significantly as compared with 1994.  Five additional
rigs were placed in service in Venezuela during the first six months of fiscal
1995.  The increase in profit from operations in Colombia has been due to
increased revenues and better operating margins as compared with the first six
months of fiscal 1994.  Three additional rigs in Colombia and one rig in
Bolivia are expected to commence operations during the third and fourth
quarters of 1995.

         The Chemical Division reported another strong quarter.  An operating
profit of $5,368,000 was reported for the first six months of 1995 compared
with $4,594,000 for the same period in 1994.

         The Company has funded capital expenditures in excess of its cash flow
internally over the past several years.  However, the Company anticipates that
it will sell additional portions of its investment portfolio and incur debt in
order to help fund planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 1995.
Capital expenditures budgeted for 1995 include expanded exploration activities,
rig purchases and construction for Colombian and Venezuelan operations, as well
as the Company's investment in a joint venture with its equity affiliate,
Atwood Oceanics, Inc.  The joint venture will construct a new generation
offshore platform rig for work offshore Australia.

         During the first quarter of fiscal 1995, effective 10-1-94, the
Company adopted FASB Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities."  The effect of adopting this Statement on the
March 31, 1995, balance sheet was to increase investments by $57,800,000,
increase deferred tax liabilities by $21,964,000 and increase shareholders'
equity by $35,836,000.

         There were no other significant changes to the Company's financial
position since September 30, 1994.
