financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's 1999 Annual Report
on Form 10K.
2. The $.07 cash dividend declared in September, 1999, was paid December 1,

7. At December 31, 1999, the Company had committed bank lines of credit
totaling $120 million; $70 million expires in May 2000 and $50 million
expires in October 2003. Additionally, the Company had uncommitted credit
facilities totaling $35 million. The Company had $50 million in outstanding
borrowings under its committed bank line of credit that expires in October
2003. The Company also has outstanding letters of credit totaling $8.5
million against these lines at December 31, 1999. The average rate on the
borrowings at December 31, 1999, was 7.0 percent. However, concurrent with
a $50 million borrowing under one of its committed facilities, the Company
entered into a 5-year, $50 million interest rate swap, which closely
correlates with the terms and maturity of the facility. The swap
effectively fixes the interest rate on this facility at 5.38% for the
entire 5 year term of the note.
8. Earnings per Share - Basic earnings per share is based on the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of stock options and
restricted stock.
A reconciliation of the weighted-average common shares outstanding on a
basic and diluted basis is as follows:

Restricted stock of 190,000 shares at a weighted-average price of $37.02
and options to purchase 1,686,000 shares of common stock at a
weighted-average price of $28.92 were outstanding at December 31, 1999, but
were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share.
Inclusion of these shares would be antidilutive, as the exercise prices of
the options exceed the average market price of the common shares.
9. New Accounting Pronouncements - The Financial Accounting Standards Board
has issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. This standard requires that all derivatives be
recognized as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and that those
instruments be measured at fair value. The Company has not yet determined
what the effect of SFAS 133 will be on the earnings and the financial
position of the Company.

10. Restricted Stock Awards - In the first quarter of fiscal year 2000, the
Company issued to certain employees 10,000 shares of treasury stock as
restricted stock awards under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company
recognized unearned compensation of $248,000, which was the fair market
value of the stock at the time of issuance. Treasury stock was reduced by
the book value of the shares issued ($90,451) with the difference
recognized as an increase in paid-in-capital. The unearned compensation is
being amortized over a five-year period as compensation expense.
11. Segment Information - The Company evaluates performance of its segments
based upon operating profit or loss from operations before income taxes,
which includes revenues from external and internal customers; operating
costs; depreciation, depletion and amortization; dry holes and abandonments
and taxes other than income taxes. Intersegment sales are accounted for in
the same manner as sales to unaffiliated customers. Other includes
investments in available-for-sale securities, equity owned investments, as
well as corporate operations.
Summarized financial information of the Company's reportable segments for
the quarters ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 is shown in the following

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
DECEMBER 31, 1999
RISK FACTORS AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
condensed financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein and
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company's future operating
results may be affected by various trends and factors, which are beyond the
Company's control. These include, among other factors, fluctuations in natural
gas and crude oil prices, expiration or termination of drilling contracts,
currency exchange losses, changes in general economic conditions, rapid or
unexpected changes in technologies and uncertain business conditions that affect
the Company's businesses. Accordingly, past results and trends should not be
used by investors to anticipate future results or trends.
With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed in
Management's Discussion & Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements
are based on various assumptions. The Company cautions that, while it believes
such assumptions to be reasonable and makes them in good faith, assumed facts
almost always vary from actual results. The differences between assumed facts
and actual results can be material. The Company is including this cautionary
statement to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements made
by, or on behalf of, the Company. The factors identified in this cautionary
statement are important factors (but not necessarily all important factors) that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First Quarter 2000 vs First Quarter 1999
The Company reported net income of $14,120,000 ($0.28 per share) from revenues
of $139,353,000 for the first quarter ended December 31, 1999, compared with net
income of $12,811,000 ($0.26 per share) from revenues of $143,864,000 for the
first quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 included $1,754,000 ($0.04 per share) from the sale of investment
securities versus $71,000 in the same period of last year.
EXPLORATION and PRODUCTION
Exploration and Production reported operating profit of $12,694,000 for the
first quarter compared with $4,505,000 for the same period of fiscal 1999. Oil &
gas revenues increased to $30.1 million from $26.4 million.
Natural gas revenues increased $6.5 million, or 33 percent, due primarily to
higher gas prices (28 percent) and natural gas volumes (4 percent). Oil revenues
increased $1.9 million, or 95 percent, as oil prices more than doubled from the
first quarter of fiscal 1999. Natural gas prices averaged $2.28 per mcf and
$1.78 per mcf for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Natural gas volumes averaged 124.5 mmcf/d and 120.0 mmcf/d, respectively. Crude
oil prices averaged $23.26 per bbl and $11.26 per bbl for the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. Crude oil volumes averaged 1,793 bbls/d and
1,821 bbls/d, respectively.

As previously announced, the Company has completed, or was in the process of
completing during the first quarter, 28 out of 29 wells in which the Company has
participated. It is estimated that the aggregate net initial production from
those wells would total approximately 25 mmcfd and 500 barrels of oil per day.
However, because of normal production declines of both existing and new
production, and the timing of the new completions, the affect of the new
production will be spread over several months. Additional exploratory and
developmental drilling is planned in these same areas of interest, as well as,
in other prospects currently being developed.
DOMESTIC DRILLING
Domestic Drilling's operating profit decreased $1.2 million, due primarily to
lower margins and rig utilization in land operations, a $1.5 million increase in
depreciation, or 21 percent, offset by increased activity in offshore
operations. Land rig utilization was 75% for the quarter compared with 85% in
the first quarter of fiscal 1999, but was improved over rates of 53% and 65% for
the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1999. Average dayrates for the current
quarter also improved approximately 4% over the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.
Domestic offshore platform rig activity was at 100% for the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 and 1999.
INTERNATIONAL DRILLING
International Drilling's operating profit decreased to $2.5 million from $9.9
million. Revenues decreased to $34.2 million from $54.7 million. The decrease in
operating profit is due primarily to lower rig utilization in Venezuela,
Colombia and Australia and lower dayrates in Venezuela and Colombia.
International rig utilization averaged 47% during the first quarter and 65%
during last year's first quarter. Some improvement is anticipated in Ecuador,
Argentina and Bolivia for the remainder of the fiscal year, but low activity may
continue in Venezuela where 19 of the Company's 40 rigs are located and rig
utilization has averaged 28% for the past three quarters.
OTHER
Revenues increased approximately $2.8 million due to an increase in gains from
the sale of available-for-sale securities. Expenses were reduced, with interest
expense decreasing to $.8 million from $1.6 million because of a substantial
reduction in debt compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1999 and corporate
general and administrative expense decreasing by 21% to $2.8 million, due
primarily to lower airplane expense and advertising costs.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
DECEMBER 31, 1999
(continued)
The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 43% for the quarter
compared to 39.5% for the first quarter of last year. The increase is due
primarily to a larger proportionate income in higher-tax-rate jurisdictions in
the Company's international drilling operations. The effective tax rate of 43%
for fiscal 2000 could increase slightly, if projected operating results are not
achieved.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities was $44,360,000 for the first quarter
of fiscal 2000, compared with $16,114,000 for the same period in 1999. Capital
expenditures were $22,377,000 and $44,418,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
2000 and 1999, respectively.
The Company anticipates capital expenditures to be approximately $150 million
for fiscal 2000, which is less than projected internally generated cash flows.
During the quarter, the Company reduced borrowings by $5,000,000. The Company's
indebtedness totaled $50,000,000 as of December 31, 1999, as described in note 7
to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The Company's Board of Directors, at its December 1, 1999, quarterly Board
meeting, approved an extension of the Company's previously approved stock
repurchase program to allow the repurchase of up to an additional 1,000,000
shares of the Company's common stock. The original program authorized the
repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares or approximately four percent of its common
stock. The Company repurchased 999,100 shares under the original program. The
Company intends to periodically purchase additional shares in the open market or
in private transactions. The repurchased shares will be held in treasury and
used for general corporate purposes including use in the Company's benefit
plans.
There were no other significant changes in the Company's financial position
since September 30, 1999.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
During the past year the Company implemented various initiatives in an attempt
to ensure that its hardware, software and equipment function properly with
respect to dates before and after January 1, 2000 (the "Y2K Project"). The
Company implemented the Y2K Project in four phases: identification, assessment,
remediation and testing. The Company completed identification and assessment of
all major systems that it believed could be affected by the Year 2000 issue. In
response to the identification and assessment, the Company completed the
remediation phase for all major Information Technology and Non-Information
Technology systems. The Company completed system testing and implementation of
all Y2K Project initiatives before the end of 1999.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
DECEMBER 31, 1999
Additionally, the Company canvassed important raw material and service suppliers
for Year 2000 compliance. The search did not reveal any irreplaceable suppliers
that would materially impact our results of operations, liquidity or capital
resources. The total cost of our Y2K project was approximately $800,000, which
was funded through the Company's general funds.
To date, the Company has not experienced any significant Year 2000 related
system failures nor, to our knowledge, have any of our irreplaceable suppliers.
The Company intends to continue to monitor and test its systems for ongoing Year
2000 compliance; however, we cannot guarantee that our computer systems or the
systems of other companies upon which our operations rely will not be adversely
affected by problems associated with the Year 2000 issue.
