PART I
ITEM 1. Business
Offshore Logistics, Inc. was incorporated in Louisiana in 1969 and its
state of incorporation was changed to Delaware in 1988. Unless the context
herein indicates otherwise, all references to the "Company" refer to Offshore
Logistics, Inc., ("OLOG") and its majority-owned and non-majority owned
entities. The Company's executive offices are located at 224 Rue de Jean, Post
Office Box 5-C, Lafayette, Louisiana 70505, and its telephone number is (337)
233-1221.
The Company, through its Air Logistics subsidiaries ("Air Log") and with
its investment in Bristow Aviation Holdings Limited ("Bristow"), is a major
supplier of helicopter transportation services to the worldwide offshore oil and
gas industry. See Note J in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for
discussion of the Company's investment in Bristow. At March 31, 2000, Air Log
and Bristow's operations included 380 aircraft (including 78 aircraft operated
through unconsolidated entities).
The Company's operations also include production management services
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Grasso Production Management, Inc. ("GPM").
See Note K in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for information
on the Company's operating revenue, operating income and identifiable assets by
industry segment and geographical distribution for the years ended March 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements
included herein other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the
statements herein regarding the timing of future events regarding the Company's
operations, the statements under "Helicopter Activities -- United States
Operations" regarding the ability of the Company to better manage its helicopter
fleet, under "Production Management Services -- Customers" and "Production
Management Services -- Competition" regarding outsourcing and cost structure and
the market for production management operations, under "General -- Union
Activities" regarding the effect of the Company's pilots electing to be
represented by a union and the impact of the current organizing efforts of the
Company's mechanics, under "Legal Proceedings" regarding the Company's potential
liability on environmental claims, under "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- General" and "Helicopter
Activities" regarding, respectively, concentration and globalization of the
helicopter industry, restructuring of the oil and gas industry, decreased levels
of activity and their effects on the Company's future prospects, the estimation
of annual revenue from a contract not yet fully phased-in and the expected
salary savings from the redundancy program in the North Sea and under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Year 2000 Matters"
regarding, respectively, the Company's anticipated future financial position and
cash requirements and the impact of Year 2000 compliance.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such
expectations will prove to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements contained in
this report include the possibility that the annual salary cost savings,
currently expected to be realized as a result of recent employee terminations,
will not be as large as management presently expects, that Bristow's results and
operating margins will not be as adversely affected, and for as long as
management currently anticipates, and that there is a substantially increased
level of activity in the Company's markets. Other important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations (with
those included in the prior sentence "Cautionary Statements") may include, but
are not limited to, demand for Company services, worldwide activity levels in
oil and natural gas exploration, development and production, fluctuations in oil
and natural gas prices, unionization and the response thereto by the Company's
customers, currency fluctuations, international political conditions, the
ability to achieve reduced operating expenses and the ability to maintain Year
2000 compliance. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements
attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly
qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Statements.

HELICOPTER ACTIVITIES
Air Log and Bristow charter their helicopters to customers for use in
transporting personnel and time-sensitive equipment from onshore bases to
offshore drilling rigs, platforms and other installations. The helicopter
charters are for varying periods and, in some cases, may contain provisions for
cancellation prior to completion of the contract. Charges under these charter
agreements are generally based on either a daily or monthly fixed fee plus
additional hourly charges. Helicopter activities are seasonal in nature and
influenced by weather conditions, length of daylight hours, and level of
offshore production, exploration, and construction activity.
The following table sets forth the number and type of aircraft operated by
Air Log and Bristow at the end of the past three fiscal years.

In addition to the foregoing 299 aircraft, at March 31, 2000, Air Log and
Bristow operated 3 aircraft pursuant to operating lease arrangements. Bristow
provides engineering and administrative support to 47 aircraft operated in an
unconsolidated entity involved in military training. Air Log and Bristow also
provide services and technical support to other unconsolidated entities that
operate 26 helicopters of various types and 5 fixed wing aircraft.

<PAGE>
United States Operations
The United States ("U.S.") helicopter activities are conducted primarily
from operating facilities along the Gulf of Mexico. As of March 31, 2000, Air
Log operated 149 aircraft in that area. Air Log also operates 12 aircraft in
Alaska. Although the Company's business is primarily dependent upon activity
levels in the offshore oil and gas industry, the existence of other markets for
helicopter services distinguishes the Company's business from other segments of
the oil service industry. Other markets for helicopters include emergency
medical transportation, agricultural and forestry support and general aviation
activities. These other markets enable the Company to better manage its
helicopter fleet by providing both a source of additional aircraft during times
of high demand and potential purchasers for excess Company aircraft during times
of reduced demand.
United Kingdom/Europe Operations
During 1997, the Company expanded its presence in the United Kingdom and
Europe through its investment in Bristow. As of March 31, 2000, 71 aircraft were
being operated by Bristow in the United Kingdom and Europe, mainly in the North
Sea offshore market. These activities are primarily dependent upon activity
levels in the offshore oil and gas production, exploration and construction
industries and search and rescue needs in that area.
Bristow also has a 50% interest in an unconsolidated entity that has a 15
year contract to provide pilot training and maintenance services to the British
military. This entity purchased and specially modified 47 aircraft and maintains
a staff of approximately 600 employees dedicated to conducting these training
activities which began in May 1997.
Other International Operations
Utilization of helicopters in international service is dependent on the
worldwide level of oil and gas exploration and development offshore and in
remote areas. This, in turn, is dependent on the funds available to the major
oil companies to conduct such activities and upon the number and location of new
foreign concessions. As of March 31, 2000, Air Log and Bristow operated 70 of
their aircraft in locations outside the United States and Europe. Air Log
operated 23 helicopters in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. Bristow
operated 23 aircraft in Africa, 11 aircraft in Australia and 13 aircraft
elsewhere throughout the world.
In addition to its direct operations in international areas, Air Log has
service agreements with, and equity interests in, entities that operate 31
aircraft in Egypt and Mexico. Air Log provides services and technical support to
these entities and, from time to time, leases aircraft to these entities as
additional support for these operations.
Customers
The principal customers for the Company's helicopter activities are
national and international petroleum and offshore construction companies. During
2000, one customer accounted for 12% of consolidated operating revenues. During
1999 and 1998, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's
consolidated operating revenues.
Competition
The helicopter transportation business is highly competitive on a worldwide
basis. Chartering of helicopters is usually done on the basis of competitive
bidding among those having the necessary experience, equipment and resources.
The technical requirements of operating helicopters offshore have increased as
oil and gas activities have moved into deeper water requiring more sophisticated
aircraft to service the market. As it is difficult to maintain an adequate
shorebased and offshore infrastructure while providing the working capital
required to conduct such operations, the number of new entrants into the Gulf of
Mexico market has been few. One of Air Log's competitors has substantially more
helicopters in service in the Gulf of Mexico. Bristow has one significant
competitor in the North Sea. The harsh conditions in the North Sea demand
larger, more sophisticated helicopters to conduct operations.
Industry Hazards and Insurance
Hazards, such as adverse weather and marine conditions, crashes, collisions
and fire are inherent in the offshore transportation industry, and may result in
losses of equipment, revenues or death of personnel.
Air Log and Bristow maintain Hull and Liability insurance, which generally
insures them against certain legal liabilities to others, as well as damage to
their aircraft. It is also their policy to carry insurance for or require their
customers to provide indemnification against expropriation, war risk and
confiscation of their helicopters employed in international operations. There is
no assurance that in the future they will be able to maintain their existing
coverage or that the related premiums will not increase substantially.

<PAGE>
Government Regulation
United States. As a commercial operator of small aircraft, Air Log is
subject to regulations pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended,
and other statutes. Air Log carries persons and property in its helicopters
pursuant to an Air Taxi Certificate granted by the Federal Aviation
Administration ("FAA").
The FAA regulates the flight operations of Air Log, and in this respect,
exercises jurisdiction over personnel, aircraft, ground facilities and certain
technical aspects of its operations. The National Transportation Safety Board is
authorized to investigate aircraft accidents and to recommend improved safety
standards. Air Log is also subject to the Communications Act of 1934 because of
the use of radio facilities in its operations.
Under the Federal Aviation Act, it is unlawful to operate certain aircraft
for hire within the United States unless such aircraft are registered with the
FAA and the operator of such aircraft has been issued an operating certificate
by the FAA. As a general rule, aircraft may be registered under the Federal
Aviation Act only if the aircraft are owned or controlled by one or more
citizens of the United States and an operating certificate may be granted only
to a citizen of the United States. For the purposes of these requirements, a
corporation is deemed to be a citizen of the United States only if, among other
things, at least 75% of the voting interest therein is owned or controlled by
United States citizens. In the event that persons other than United States
citizens should come to own or control more than 25% of the voting interest in
the Company, the Company has been advised that Air Log's aircraft may be subject
to deregistration under the Federal Aviation Act and loss of the privilege of
operating within the United States. At March 31, 2000, the Company had
approximately 1,361,575 common shares held by persons with foreign addresses
representing approximately 6.5% of the 21,105,921 common shares outstanding.
The Company's operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and
regulations controlling the discharge of materials into the environment or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. To date, such laws and
regulations have not had a material adverse effect on the Company's business or
financial condition. Increased public awareness and concern over the
environment, however, may result in future changes in the regulation of the oil
and gas industry, which in turn could adversely affect the Company.
United Kingdom. As a commercial operator of aircraft, Bristow is subject to
the Licensing of Air Carriers Regulations 1992, and Regulations made under the
Civil Aviation Act 1982 and other statutes. Bristow carries persons and property
in its helicopters pursuant to an operating license issued by the Civil Aviation
Authority ("CAA").
The CAA regulates the flight operations of Bristow, and in this respect,
exercises jurisdiction over personnel, aircraft, ground facilities and certain
technical aspects of Bristow's operations. Accident investigations are carried
out by the Air Accident Investigation Branch of the Department of the
Environment, Transport and the Regions. The CAA often imposes improved safety
standards on the basis of a report of the Inspector.
Under the Licensing of Air Carriers Regulations 1992, it is unlawful to
operate certain aircraft for hire within the United Kingdom unless such aircraft
are approved by the CAA. The holder of an operating license must meet the
ownership and control requirements of Council Regulation 2407/92 (i.e. the
entity that operates under the license must be owned directly or through
majority ownership by United Kingdom or European Economic Area nationals and
must at all times be effectively controlled by them).
Bristow's operations are subject to local laws and regulations controlling
the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the
protection of the environment. To date, such laws and regulations have not had a
material adverse effect on Bristow's business or financial condition. Increased
public awareness and concern over the environment, however, may result in future
changes in the regulation of the oil and gas industry, which may in turn have an
adverse affect on the Company.
International. Operations other than in the United States and the United
Kingdom are subject to local governmental regulations and to uncertainties of
economic and political conditions in those areas. Because of the impact of local
laws, these operations are conducted primarily through entities (including joint
ventures) in which local citizens own interests and Air Log or Bristow holds
only a minority interest, or pursuant to arrangements under which the Company
operates assets or conducts operations under contracts with local entities.
There can be no assurance that there will not be changes in local laws,
regulations or administrative requirements, or the interpretation thereof, any
of which could have a material adverse effect on the business or financial
condition of the Company or on its ability to continue operations in certain
regions.

<PAGE>
Currency Fluctuations
Most of Bristow's revenues and expenses are denominated in British Pounds
Sterling ("pound"). For the year ended March 31, 2000, approximately 36% of
consolidated operating revenues were translated from pounds into the United
States Dollar. In addition, portions of Bristow's revenues are denominated in
other currencies (including Australian Dollars, Euros, Nigerian Naira, Norwegian
Krone, and Trinidad and Tobago Dollars) to cover expenses in the areas and/or
currencies in which such expenses are incurred. To the extent operating revenues
are denominated in the same currency as operating expenses, the Company can
reduce its vulnerability to exchange rate fluctuations. Because the Company
maintains its financial statements in United States Dollars, it is vulnerable to
fluctuations in the exchange rate between the pound and the United States
Dollar.
PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, GPM is the leading independent
contract operator of oil and gas production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico.
GPM also provides services for certain onshore facilities. In providing these
services, GPM operates oil and gas production facilities for major and smaller
independent oil and gas companies. Typical project assignments may involve full
or limited management of operations of oil and gas production facilities located
offshore, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico. The work involves placing
experienced crews, employed by GPM, to operate the facilities and provide all
necessary services and products for the offshore operations. When servicing
offshore oil and gas production facilities, GPM's employees normally live on the
facility for a seven-day rotation. GPM's services include furnishing personnel,
engineering, production operating services, paramedic services and the provision
of boat and helicopter transportation of personnel and supplies between onshore
bases and offshore facilities. GPM also handles regulatory and production
reporting for certain of its customers.
Operations
GPM's production management services are conducted primarily from
production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico. As of March 31, 2000, GPM managed
or had personnel assigned to 210 production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico.
Although GPM's business is primarily dependent upon activity levels in the
offshore oil and gas industry, 90% of GPM's production management costs consist
of labor and contracted transportation services. This enables GPM to scale down
operations rapidly should market conditions change. Because of this ability to
react to market conditions, management believes the production management
segment of the oil service industry is less affected by downturns in offshore
oil and gas activities.
Customers
GPM's customers are primarily major and small independent oil and gas
companies that own oil and gas production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico.
These companies are increasingly inclined to outsource services provided by
companies such as GPM which are able to operate more efficiently and with a
lower cost structure. This allows the customers to focus their efforts on their
core activities, which is the exploration for and development of oil and gas
reserves. During 2000, 1999 and 1998, no single GPM customer accounted for more
than 10% of the Company's consolidated operating revenues.
Competition
GPM's business is highly competitive. There are a number of competitors
that are smaller than GPM but maintain a Gulf-wide presence. In addition, there
are many smaller operators that compete on a local basis or for single projects
or jobs. Management of the Company anticipates that the market for oil and gas
production management operations will continue to increase over the next few
years as oil and gas producing companies continue to reduce the size of field
personnel and further utilize outside contractors as efforts to reduce their
operating costs continue. Typically, GPM will be requested to bid on one or more
production facilities owned by an oil and gas producer. The two key elements in
the pricing of the bid are personnel and transportation costs. In addition to
price, an additional consideration is the quality of personnel, training
programs, safety record and stability of the operator since this can greatly
affect the revenue flow to the producer and reduce the risk of possible damage
to the production facility. There are no assurances that an increase in the
market for production management services will occur.
5
<PAGE>
Industry Hazards and Insurance
GPM's operations are subject to the normal risks associated with working on
oil and gas production facilities. These risks could result in damage to or loss
of property and injury to or death of personnel. GPM carries normal business
insurance including general liability, worker's compensation, automobile
liability and property and casualty insurance coverages.
Government Regulation
The Mineral Management Service ("MMS") regulates the production operations
of GPM's customers and, in this respect, exercises jurisdiction over personnel,
production facilities and certain technical aspects of GPM's operations.
GPM's operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and
regulations controlling the discharge of materials into the environment or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. To date, such laws and
regulations have not had a material adverse effect on GPM's business or
financial condition. Increased public awareness and concern over the
environment, however, may result in future changes in the regulation of the oil
and gas industry, which in turn could adversely affect the Company.
GENERAL
Employees
As of March 31, 2000 Air Log, Bristow and GPM employed 677, 1,867 and 587
employees worldwide, respectively. The Company's corporate staff consisted of 21
employees.
Union Activities
On August 6, 1997, the U.S. pilots at the Company voted to become members
of the Office and Professional Employees International Union ("OPEIU"). The
Company commenced contract negotiations with the OPEIU on April 1, 1998 and on
April 15, 1999 announced that it had reached a tentative agreement with pilot
representatives on the contract's provisions. The contract calls for a four year
term which began on May 18, 1999. The contract provides the pilots with
scheduled increases in base pay and other fringe benefit enhancements and
provides the Company with strike protection and certain other rights to allow it
to continue to manage its business. The contract was ratified on May 18, 1999 by
a 96% affirmative vote of the pilot employees and on May 26, 1999, by a
unanimous affirmative vote of the Company's Board of Directors.
On November 16, 1999, the OPEIU petitioned the National Mediation Board
("NMB") to conduct an election among the mechanics and related personnel
employed by both Air Logistics, LLC and Air Logistics of Alaska, Inc. The
election for Air Logistics, L.L.C. was held on March 13, 2000 with the mechanics
voting in favor of the Company. The NMB dismissed the matter with respect to the
Alaska-based group on January 24, 2000, but due to extraordinary circumstances,
the NMB did accept another representation application covering the Air Logistics
of Alaska, Inc. mechanics and related employees. The election is set with two
unions on the ballot, the OPEIU and International Union of Operating Engineers.
The ballots will be counted on July 11, 2000.
The Company does not believe that the terms of the pilots' contract or the
current organizing efforts will place it at a disadvantage with its competitors
as management believes that pay scales, benefits, and work rules will continue
to be similar throughout the industry.
ITEM 2. Properties
See "Business -- Helicopter Activities" for a discussion of the number and
types of aircraft operated by Air Log and Bristow.
Air Log leases approximately 8 acres of land at the Acadiana Regional
Airport in New Iberia, Louisiana under a lease expiring in 2030. The Company has
constructed office and helicopter maintenance facilities on the site containing
approximately 44,000 square feet of floor space. The property has access to the
airport facilities, as well as a major highway.

<PAGE>
The Company's Corporate offices occupy 14,440 square feet in a building in
Lafayette, Louisiana under a lease expiring in 2003. Other office and operating
facilities in the United States and abroad, including most of the operating
facilities along the Gulf of Mexico, are held under leases, the rental
obligations under which are not material in the aggregate.
Bristow leases land and facilities at Redhill Aerodrome near London,
England under a lease expiring in 2075. Leases of various hangars, offices and
aviation fuel facilities at Redhill Aerodrome expire during 2003.
Bristow leases a helicopter terminal, offices and hangar facilities at
Aberdeen Airport, Scotland under a lease expiring in 2013 with an option to
extend to 2023. Additional hangar and office facilities at Aberdeen Airport are
maintained under a lease expiring in 2030.

Sumburgh, Shetland under a lease expiring in 2004 with renewal options through
2019.
Bristow owns and leases numerous residential locations near its operating
bases in the United Kingdom, Australia, China, Nigeria, and in the Caribbean
primarily for housing pilots and staff supporting those areas of operation.
GPM's Corporate offices occupy 6,000 square feet in a building in Houston,
Texas, under a lease expiring in 2002. Other office and operating facilities
along the Gulf of Mexico are held under leases, the rental obligations under
which are not material in the aggregate.
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings
In January 1989, the Company received notice from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") that it is a potentially responsible
party ("PRP") for clean up and other response costs at the Sheridan Disposal
Services Superfund Site in Waller County, Texas. The Company is among
approximately 160 PRPs identified with respect to the site. The EPA has
estimated that the cost of remedial activities at the site will be approximately
$30 million. In August 1989, the Company received a similar notice with respect
to the Gulf Coast Vacuum Services Site, which is near Abbeville, Louisiana. The
Company is among over 300 PRPs identified with respect to this site. The EPA
alleged that the Company was a generator or transporter of hazardous substances
found at the two sites. In February 1991, the Company received a request for
information from the EPA relating to the Western Sand and Gravel Superfund Site
in Rhode Island, as to which the Company had been named a PRP after an earlier
request for information from the EPA issued in 1983 - 1984.
Based on presently available information, the Company believes that it
generated only a small portion, if any, of the substances found at the above
described sites. In addition, many of the other PRPs at all of the
aforementioned sites are large companies with substantial resources. As a
result, the Company believes that its potential liability for clean up and other
response costs in connection with these sites is not likely to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition.
In addition to notification of PRP responsibility, the EPA notices to the
Company also contained information requests regarding the Company's connection
with the various sites. The responses to the information requests were due in
early March 1989 for the Sheridan site and in early September 1989 for the
Louisiana site. Through oversight, the Company did not respond to the requests
until April and May 1990. The EPA is authorized to seek civil penalties for
failure to respond to its information requests in a timely manner in an amount
up to a maximum of $25,000 per day for each day of continued non-compliance;
however, to date, no such penalties have been sought. While it is not possible
to predict whether any civil penalties might be assessed against the Company for
the delays in responding to the EPA requests, the Company believes the amount of
such penalties, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on its business
or financial condition.
The Company is not a party to any other litigation, which, in the opinion
of management, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or
financial condition.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
General
The Company is a major supplier of helicopter transportation services to
the worldwide offshore oil and gas industry. In December 1996, the Company
expanded its aviation services and related operations through its investment in
Bristow Aviation Holdings Limited ("Bristow") (see Note J in the "Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements" for a complete discussion of this
investment). The investment in Bristow was influenced by the Company's belief
that the globalization of helicopter operators had begun with the then recent
acquisitions and consolidations completed by two of its major international
competitors. This trend has continued with the recent consolidation of two major
international competing helicopter operators. Further consolidation is possible
as operators seek to broaden their exposure to international markets in order to
better serve their customers and increase their access and influence with
financial markets, insurance markets and other suppliers. The combined
helicopter activities of the Company's Air Logistics subsidiaries ("Air Log")
and that of Bristow, together with its investment in unconsolidated entities,
result in an operating fleet of 380 aircraft servicing the major oil and gas
markets of the world.
The Company also provides production management services to the domestic
offshore oil and gas industry through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Grasso
Production Management, Inc. ("GPM"). GPM's services include furnishing
personnel, engineering, production operating services, paramedic services and
the provision of boat and helicopter transportation of personnel and supplies
between onshore bases and offshore facilities. The Company's investment in GPM
was influenced by its belief that a restructuring in the United States oil and
gas industry was taking place, creating opportunities to provide production
management services to both independent and major oil companies as they either
grow, contract or refocus their activities accordingly.
The level of worldwide offshore oil and gas exploration, development and
production activity has traditionally influenced demand for the Company's
services. This was clearly evident during fiscal year 1999 when the oil and gas
industry experienced a significant downturn. A market over-supply of oil caused
prices to decline to their lowest level in over 12 years. This protracted
decline in commodity prices resulted in oil companies' canceling or deferring a
significant portion of their current and planned exploration and development
activities and, accordingly, reduced demand for helicopter services in certain
markets and increased rate pressure from customers in other markets.
Additionally, oil companies sought to lower their internal and external
production costs through initiatives to reduce excess costs and make more
efficient use of contracted third party services, a trend which continued into
Fiscal Year 2000. During fiscal year 2000, the member nations of OPEC sought to
correct the over supply of oil by instituting production cuts which, along with
increasing worldwide demand, drove oil prices to historically high levels.
Despite the resurgence in oil prices, oil companies have been slow to return to
the levels of exploration and development experienced prior to fiscal year 1999.
The Company has no way of predicting the activity levels of either the oil
and gas industry in general or that of its specific customers. However,
management does believe that the current sustained level of higher commodity
prices will foster increased industry commitment for new exploration and
development activities and, consequently, helicopter transportation services.

Consistent with the presentation of segment information in Note K in the
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements", the following table sets forth
certain operating information, which will form the basis for discussion of each
of the two identified segments, Helicopter activities and Production management
and related services. Beginning in fiscal year 2000, the Company has changed the
basis of segmentation within its Helicopter activities segment. The respective
international operations of Air Log (headquartered in the United States) and
Bristow (headquartered in the United Kingdom) will, from this point forward, be
reported as a separate division. The new International division will encompass
all helicopter activities outside of the United States Gulf of Mexico and Alaska
(reported as "Air Log") and the United Kingdom and Europe Sectors of the North
Sea (reported as "Bristow").
The analysis and comparison that follow are based on the previous
segment format as comparative information for 1999 and 1998 under the current
segment format is not presented.

Air Log and Bristow conduct helicopter activities principally in the Gulf
of Mexico and the North Sea, respectively, where they provide support to the
production, exploration and construction activities of oil and gas companies.
Air Log also charters helicopters to governmental entities involved in
regulating offshore oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico and provides
helicopter services to the Alyeska Pipeline in Alaska. Bristow also provides
search and rescue work for the British Coast Guard. International's activities
include Air Log and Bristow's operations in the following countries: Australia,
Brazil, China, Colombia, Cyprus, India, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Mexico, Nigeria,
Spain, The Maldives and Trinidad. These international operations are subject to
local governmental regulations and uncertainties of economic and political
conditions in those areas. International also includes Air Log's service
agreements with, and equity interests in, entities that operate aircraft in
Egypt and Mexico ("unconsolidated entities").
Fiscal 2000 as compared to Fiscal 1999 -
Operating revenues from helicopter activities declined by 11% during
fiscal 2000, with operating expenses declining by only 7%. Much of this decline
in revenue is attributed to the loss of two major customers in the North Sea
effective August 1, 1999, coupled with low levels of exploration and development
by the oil companies. Despite sustained higher commodity price levels, oil
companies have been slow to return to pre-fiscal 1999 exploration and
development activity levels. However, flight activity during the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2000 in the Gulf of Mexico and certain international markets showed
increases over the prior year fourth quarter, which management believes may be
the reversal of a trend of decreasing activity in these markets.
Air Log's flight activity for fiscal 2000 is 1.8% below the level
experienced in fiscal 1999. Revenue for fiscal 2000 fell by 7.7% from the prior
year. This larger percentage decrease in revenue compared to flight activity is
due primarily to a shift in the mix of aircraft generating revenues. Flight
hours and revenue generated from larger, crew change aircraft in the Gulf of
Mexico decreased by 20% from the prior year, while flight hours and revenue from
smaller, production related aircraft increased by 1.6%. Air Log's operating
margin of 16.6% for fiscal 2000 compares to 19.3% for the prior year, and is
reflective of the decline in flight hours from higher margin crew change
aircraft discussed above and increased compensation costs for pilots (discussed
below) and other employees. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, Air Log
collected
13
<PAGE>
in full its pre-petition receivables from a significant customer emerging from
Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The reserve for bad debts was reduced by $0.5 million as
a result of the resolution of this contingency.
Air Log's domestic pilots are now compensated in accordance with the terms
of a negotiated contract between the Company and the union representing the
pilot group. The contract calls for a four year term, effective May 18, 1999.
The contract provides the pilots with scheduled increases in base pay and other
fringe benefit enhancements and provides the Company with strike protection and
certain other rights to allow it to continue to manage its business. The Company
has extended the fringe benefit enhancements to Air Log's non-union employee
group as well. Based on employment levels at the time the contract was signed,
Air Log's compensation costs increased in fiscal 2000 by approximately 13%, as a
result of the union contract. Three additional base pay increases of 3% each are
scheduled for the pilot group at varying intervals of 12 to 15 months through
the remainder of the contract term.
On November 16, 1999, the OPEIU petitioned the "NMB" to conduct an
election among the mechanics and related personnel employed by two of the
companies comprising the Air Log group (Air Logistics, L.L.C. and Air Logistics
of Alaska, Inc.). The election for Air Logistics, L.L.C. was held on March 13,
2000 with the mechanics voting in favor of the Company. The NMB dismissed the
matter with respect to the Alaska-based group on January 24, 2000, but due to
extraordinary circumstances, the NMB did accept another representation
application covering the Air Logistics of Alaska, Inc. mechanics and related
employees. The election in Alaska will proceed with two unions on the ballot,
the OPEIU and International Union of Operating Engineers. The ballots will be
counted on July 11, 2000. The Company does not believe the current organizing
efforts will place it at a disadvantage with its competitors as management
believes that pay scales, benefits, and work rules will continue to be similar
throughout the industry.
During March 2000, the Company's 49% owned affiliate in Mexico was awarded
a $75 million three year contract to provide helicopter transportation services
to the Federal Electric Commission of Mexico. The 13 aircraft needed to fulfill
the contract requirements will be leased by the affiliate from Air Log. The
start up of the contract will be in phases over a two month period beginning
March 31, 2000.
Air Log currently has six aircraft operating in Brazil which are leased to
an unrelated local operator. Subsequent to year end, Air Log imported a seventh
aircraft to cover the increased ad hoc flying resulting from the international
oil companies expanding into the Brazilian market. Management believes that the
trend of increasing activity in Brazil will continue, and consequently is in
negotiations to acquire a minority interest in the local operator. In Brazil,
operating licenses are granted by the aviation authorities only to Brazilian
entities. This investment, the amount of which is not expected to be material,
will serve to secure Air Log's presence in Brazil and enhance the local
operator's ability to do business with the international oil companies.
Additionally, concerns over the economic conditions in Brazil have lessened
somewhat as the Brazilian currency has stabilized for the time being in relation
to the United States dollar.
Bristow's flight hours for fiscal 2000 decreased by 13.6%, from the prior
year. This net decrease in flight activity is comprised of decreases in
Bristow's North Sea and Trinidad markets, offset by increases in flight activity
in Nigeria and Australia. The decrease in the North Sea activity is related to
an overall slow down in exploration and development activity in that market,
which includes the termination of contracts with two major customers, effective
August 1, 1999. These contracts accounted for $43.4 million in revenue in fiscal
1999, or 24% of revenue from the North Sea versus only $11.9 million in fiscal
2000. The Aberdeen, Scotland base, from where these contracts are serviced,
employs approximately 600 staff. Management developed a plan to adjust its cost
structure to adapt to the reduced volume of business, as discussed further
below. Management believes that the impact of the above decrease in revenue will
be partially offset by a new contract which was phased-in between January 1,
1999 to January 1, 2000, which should generate revenues of approximately $21
million per annum when fully operational. Excluding the impact of this lost
work, North Sea flight hours and revenue for the remaining customer base
decreased by 8% and 7%, respectively, from the prior year as a result of reduced
utilization and pricing pressures from customers. The North Sea has been more
adversely affected by low oil prices due to generally higher exploration and
production costs in that area compared with other production areas around the
world.
Bristow's operating margin declined from 5.2% in fiscal 1999 to 0.4% in
the fiscal 2000. These low margins are due to the reduced utilization and
pricing pressures discussed above and the terminated contracts and related
restructuring charges of $5.0 million recognized in the second quarter of fiscal
year 2000. The restructuring charges were incurred to adjust Bristow's staffing
to the current volume of work and entailed a reduction in the North Sea
workforce by 19%. Absent these charges, Bristow's operating margin for fiscal
2000 would have been 2.2%. The Company expects to realize at least $7 million in
combined annual salary savings from the aforementioned redundancy program. In
addition, further cost reductions, including additional employee terminations,
renegotiating contracted maintenance services and revisions to employee benefit
plans, are being pursued as management works to establish a more cost effective
and competitive organization. However, given the significant reduction in North
Sea flight activity, it is likely that Bristow's results and operating margins
will be adversely affected for sometime absent increased activity in the North
Sea market.

<PAGE>
Fiscal 1999 as compared to Fiscal 1998 -
The Company experienced mixed results from its Helicopter activities
during fiscal 1999 as it saw revenues increase and operating income decrease.
This is in contrast to the increases experienced during fiscal 1998 primarily as
a result of the Company's investment in Bristow and improved market conditions
in the Gulf of Mexico.
Air Log's flight activity decreased during fiscal 1999 by 12% from 1998
levels, primarily due to the overall decrease in demand for helicopter services
from the oil and gas industry. Despite the decrease in flight activity, Air
Log's operating revenues remained unchanged from fiscal 1998 to 1999. Several
factors, including rate increases (approximating 10%) obtained in the third
quarter of fiscal 1998 and the continued high percentage of aircraft under
contract between the two fiscal years, served to prevent an otherwise expected
decline in revenue. Flight hours and related revenue generated per flight hour
began trending downward from the first quarter of fiscal 1999 onward as
customers began scaling back operations without releasing aircraft from fixed
monthly leases until December 1998. While this situation had a positive effect
on revenues, it had an opposite effect on operating costs as Air Log was
required to keep these aircraft maintained and crewed ready for flight, which
contributed to Air Log's overall operating income decline of 16% in fiscal 1999
from 1998. To protect the erosion of its margins, in July 1998 Air Log
instituted stricter review and authorization procedures for maintenance
expenditures, put a hiring freeze in effect, and in February 1999 reduced its
workforce by 50 employees. Other factors contributing to Air Log's decline in
profitability in 1999 include the provisions of additional reserve for bad debts
of $0.8 million for one significant customer which filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy
and $1.1 million for another significant customer experiencing financial
difficulties due to the devaluation of the Brazilian currency, and the accrual
of $1.3 million for changes in Air Log's compensated absences policies. Unlike
Air Log's other foreign operations, its customer in Brazil is exposed to
currency exchange risk as it earns all of its revenue in the Brazilian currency,
but incurs a majority of its expenses (including Air Log's leases) in United
States Dollars. Air Log's revenue from this Brazilian customer was $5.0 million
in fiscal 1999.
Bristow's flight activity increased during fiscal 1999 by 12% from 1998
levels resulting in a corresponding increase in operating revenue of 15%. These
increases are primarily attributed to the start up of the Shell Expro contract
on July 1, 1998, which accounted for 13,696 flight hours and $33.6 million in
revenue. Apart from Shell Expro activity, Bristow's fiscal 1999 North Sea flight
activity and revenue declined 6% and 4% respectively from 1998. These declines
in the North Sea were caused by a lack of available aircraft to perform ad hoc
work in early fiscal 1999 (due to full utilization of aircraft as a result of
the Shell Expro contract) and the general downturn in the oil and gas industry
in the last half of fiscal 1999.
Bristow's operating income decreased by 44% during fiscal 1999 from fiscal
1998, and it saw its gross margins deteriorate from 10.7% in 1998 to 5.2% in
1999. Several factors contributed to this decline in profitability, including
the reduction of higher margin ad hoc flight activity, the provision of
additional reserve for bad debts of $.8 million and higher maintenance and
repair expenditures. In February 1999, Bristow instituted procedures, similar to
those of Air Log, to closely review all significant maintenance and repair
expenditures and to better utilize existing spare parts and fleet capacity in
order to manage its operating expense.
Production Management and Related Services
GPM conducts production management and related services in the Gulf of
Mexico for both major and independent oil companies. GPM's services include
furnishing personnel, engineering, production operating services, paramedic
services, and the provision of boat and helicopter transportation of personnel
and supplies between onshore bases and offshore facilities.
Fiscal 2000 as compared to Fiscal 1999 -
Operating revenues for GPM decreased 4% during fiscal 2000, primarily due
to mergers and consolidation among GPM's customer group and overall oil service
industry conditions. This decrease continues a trend consistent with that of the
Company's Helicopter Activities and the oil service industry in general. Despite
this decrease in revenue, GPM was able to maintain its operating margin at 5.3%
essentially unchanged from Fiscal 1999.
Fiscal 1999 as compared to Fiscal 1998 -
GPM was also affected by the changing industry fundamentals during fiscal
1999. The reported 4% decline in revenues in 1999 from 1998 does not highlight
the significant level of customer turnover which is inherent in its business due
to mergers, business failures, and rate shopping by customers. Management was
successful in replacing most of the work lost during 1999. Gross margin declined
to 5.4% in 1999 from 7.2% in 1998, due primarily to an increase in the provision
for bad debts of $.5 million attributable to two customers in bankruptcy.
Additionally, some of the customer turnover discussed above was replaced with
lower margin work, contributing to the decline in margins.

Corporate and Other
Corporate operating revenues are primarily generated from the intercompany
leasing of aircraft to the operating segments, which in consolidation is
eliminated. Consolidated general and administrative costs declined by $3.6
million in fiscal 2000 as fiscal 1999 included $3.5 million of non-recurring
charges for provisions for bad debts as discussed above for Air Log, Bristow and
GPM. Earnings from unconsolidated entities decreased in 2000 by $0.9 million and
in 1999 by $2.1 million due primarily to decreases in dividends received ($1.8
million in 2000 compared to $2.9 million in 1999 and $4.7 million in 1998) from
equity investments accounted for under the cost method of accounting (See Note C
in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"). The decline in dividends
paid by these entities is directly attributable to the impact the oil industry
downturn has had on their respective operations. The effective income tax rates
from continuing operations were 31%, 30% and 30% for 2000, 1999 and 1998. The
variance between the Federal statutory rate and the effective rate for these
periods is due primarily to non-taxable foreign source income and foreign tax
credits available to reduce domestic taxable income. The Company's effective tax
rate is impacted by the amount of foreign source income generated by the Company
and its ability to realize foreign tax credits. Changes in the Company's
operations and operating location in the future could impact the Company's
effective tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $37.9 million as of March 31, 2000, a $32.7
million decrease from March 31, 1999. Working capital as of March 31, 2000 was
$102.7 million, a $40.2 million decrease from March 31, 1999. Total debt was
$241.3 million as of March 31, 2000, a $2.4 million decrease from March 31,
1999.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $34.1 million, $49.7
million and $68.9 million in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The decrease in
cash flows provided by operating activities from 1998 to 2000 was due primarily
to the erosion in the oil and gas industry market conditions.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $64.4 million, $13.0 million,
and $54.2 million for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. During 2000, the
Company received proceeds of $10.3 million primarily from thirteen separate
disposals of aircraft. During the same period, the Company purchased seven Bell
407's for $9.4 million; four S-61's for $10.9 million, two S-76's for $4.5
million, 5 Bell 412's for $19.8 million and three Super Puma's for $20.4
million. In addition, the Company placed $4.3 million into escrow, included in
other assets as of March 31, 2000, for the purchase of three S-76 aircraft.
Subsequent to year-end, the Company purchased two Bell 412's for $10 million.
The Company has no other material capital commitments outstanding. The majority
of these aircraft purchases were made to fulfill customer contract requirements.
The three Super Pumas and two S76s referenced above were acquired in
anticipation of international expansion. Capital expenditures during 1999 of
$19.2 million included one AS332L-Super Puma and three Bell 407's. The Company
used existing cash to purchase these aircraft. Deposits on two new AS332L-Super
Pumas made during the third quarter of 1999 were refunded to the Company during
the fourth quarter of 1999 after the Company decided to lease rather than
purchase these aircraft (see Note F in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements"). During 1998, the Company acquired five aircraft (including four
AS332L-Super Pumas, which had previously been leased by Bristow under short-term
operating leases) for $32.3 million. The Company used existing cash and incurred
an additional $20.0 million of 7.9% fixed rate financing that amortizes over
five years to complete this transaction. In addition to the financed aircraft,
the Company used existing cash to purchase 13 Bell 407's, four Sikorsky S-76's
and one Bell 214ST in 1998.
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities were $(1.8) million,
$(22.0) million and $10.7 million in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. In July
1998, the Board of Directors reaffirmed its February 1996 authorization to
repurchase up to 1 million shares of the Company's Common Stock in the open
market or through private transactions. The authorization has no time limit and
authorizes management to make repurchases of common stock and/or debt securities
as they deem prudent. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, the Company
repurchased 763,500 shares of Common Stock and $7.1 million face value of 6%
Notes in the open market for a total purchase price of $13.2 million. In October
1997, the Company repaid (pound)11.6 million ($18.7 million) of Bristow debt
with its existing cash. In January 1998, the Company issued $100 million of 7
7/8% Senior Notes due 2008 discounted to yield 7.915%, which resulted in net
proceeds to the Company of $97.2 million. The proceeds were used to repay
certain indebtedness of Bristow of (pound)40.7 million ($66.6 million) and to
replace general corporate funds used to repay certain indebtedness of Bristow in
October 1997.
As of March 31, 2000, Bristow had a (pound)15 million ($23.9 million)
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of United Kingdom banks that matures
on December 31, 2002. Bristow had no amounts drawn under this facility as of
March 31, 2000, but did have (pound)1.4 million ($2.2 million) of outstanding
guarantees of certain obligations, which reduced availability under the line. As
of March 31, 2000, OLOG had a $20 million unsecured working capital line of
credit with a bank that expires on September 30, 2001. Management believes that
its normal operations, lines of credit and available financing will provide
sufficient working capital and cash flow to meet debt service needs for the
foreseeable future.

Legal Matters
The Company has received notices from the EPA that it is one of
approximately 160 PRPs at one Superfund site in Texas, one of over 300 PRPs at a
site in Louisiana and a PRP at one site in Rhode Island. The Company believes,
based on presently available information, that its potential liability for clean
up and other response costs in connection with these sites is not likely to have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition. See
Item 3 -- "Legal Proceedings" for additional information regarding EPA notices.
Year 2000 Matters
To date the Company has not encountered any significant Year 2000 problems
with any of its information technology (IT) systems, such as accounting and
financial ledgers and aircraft and pilot records, or non-IT systems (which
incorporate embedded technology), such as onboard navigational, communication
and safety systems, nor is it aware of any problems with its vendors' or
customers' systems. However, Year 2000 issues may yet arise that are not
currently apparent. To date, the Company has spent $0.4 million on its
replacement and remediation efforts and no additional expenditures are
contemplated. The Company does not separately account for the internal costs
incurred for its Year 2000 compliance efforts. Such costs consist primarily of
salaries and benefits for the Company's IT personnel. The Company has a Year
2000 contingency plan in place if any problems arise in its operations or with
any of its significant vendors or customers.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires
that entities recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statements of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
Changes in a derivative's fair value are to be recognized currently in earnings
unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company will be required
to adopt SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, no later than April 1, 2001.
The Company has not yet quantified the impact to its financial statements that
may result from adoption of SFAS No. 133, however, the Company does not use
derivative instruments or hedging activities extensively in its business and
therefore the adoption of this new statement is not expected to materially
affect the Company's financial positions or results of operations. The new
statement could however cause volatility in the components of other
comprehensive income.
ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company has $241.3 million of debt outstanding, of which $34.9 million
carries a variable rate of interest. The Company uses an interest rate swap to
hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure on this variable rate debt.
Management does not believe that this swap, or the remaining level of variable
rate debt exposes it to a material amount of interest rate market risk. However,
the market value of the Company's fixed rate debt fluctuates with changes in
interest rates. The Company does not have any significant maturities of fixed
rate debt occurring before fiscal 2004. The Company's ability to refinance this
fixed rate debt varies in response to significant changes in interest rates,
among other factors.
The Company currently does not have any off-balance sheet hedging
instruments to manage its risks associated with its operating activities
conducted in foreign currencies. In limited circumstances and when considered
appropriate, the Company will utilize forward exchange contracts to hedge
anticipated transactions. The Company has historically used these instruments
primarily in the buying and selling of certain spare parts and equipment. The
Company attempts to minimize its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations by
matching its revenues and expenses in the same currency for its contracts. Most
of Bristow's revenues and expenses are denominated in British Pounds Sterling
("pound"). As of March 31, 2000, the Company does not have any outstanding
forward exchange contracts. Management does not believe that its limited
exposure to foreign currency exchange risk necessitates the extensive use of
forward exchange contracts.

OFFSHORE LOGISTICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A -- OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations -- The Company's most significant area of operation
is supplying helicopter transportation services to the worldwide offshore oil
and gas industry. The Company also provides production personnel and medical
support services to the worldwide oil and gas industry.
Basis of Presentation -- The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Offshore Logistics, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("OLOG") and its
majority owned and non-majority owned entities including Bristow Aviation
Holdings Limited ("Bristow"), collectively referred to as "the Company", after
elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.
Investments in 50% or less owned affiliates over which the Company has the
ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity
method. Investments in which the Company does not exercise significant influence
are accounted for under the cost method.
Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents -- The Company's cash equivalents include funds
invested in highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of 90 days
or less.
Accounts Receivable -- Trade and other receivables are stated at net
realizable value and the allowance for uncollectible accounts was $4,911,000 and
$4,010,000 at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. During the years ended
March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 the Company increased the allowance account
through charges to expense by $901,000, $3,508,000 and $310,000, respectively
and decreased the allowance account for write offs of uncollectable accounts by
$0, $348,000 and $800,000 respectively. The Company grants short-term credit to
its customers, primarily major and independent oil and gas companies.
Inventories -- Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or
market and consist primarily of spare parts. The valuation reserve related to
obsolete and excess inventory was $3,958,000 and $4,045,000 at March 31, 2000
and 1999. There were no related charges to operations in 2000, 1999, or 1998.
Other Assets -- In 2000, $16,060,000 of goodwill, net of accumulated
amortization of $6,222,000, was included in other assets. Goodwill is amortized
using the straight-line method over a period of 20 years. Goodwill is recognized
for the excess of the purchase price over the value of the identifiable net
assets. Realization of goodwill is periodically assessed by management based on
the expected future profitability and undiscounted future cash flows of acquired
companies and their contribution to the overall operations of the Company.
Also included in other assets is restricted cash of (pound)4.8 million
($7.6 million), debt issuance costs of $3.3 million, being amortized over the
life of the related debt, and $4.3 million placed into escrow, for the purchase
of three S-76 aircraft.
Depreciation and Amortization -- Depreciation and amortization are
provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Estimated residual value used in calculating depreciation of aircraft
ranges from 30% to 50% of cost.
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; betterments and
improvements are capitalized. The costs and related accumulated depreciation of
assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and resultant
gains or losses are included in income.
Income Taxes -- Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the
provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this statement, deferred income taxes are
provided for by the asset and liability method.

Foreign Currency Translation -- Bristow maintains its accounting records in
its local currency (British Pounds Sterling). Foreign currencies are converted
to United States Dollars with the effect of the foreign currency translation
reflected as a component of shareholders' investment in accordance with SFAS No.
52, "Foreign Currency Translation." Foreign currency transaction gains or losses
are credited or charged to income and such amounts are insignificant for the
periods presented.
Derivative Financial Instruments -- The Company enters into forward
exchange contracts from time to time to hedge committed transactional exposures
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the business.
Foreign currency positions mature at the anticipated currency requirement date
and rarely exceed three months. The purpose of the Company's foreign currency
hedging activities is to protect the Company from the risk that foreign currency
outflows resulting from payments for services and parts to foreign suppliers
will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. There were no open
forward currency positions at March 31, 2000. The amount of gains and losses
recognized on foreign currency hedging contracts during the year was immaterial.
Financial instruments are designated as a hedge at inception where there is
a direct relationship to the price risk associated with the service and parts.
Hedges of transactions are accounted for under the deferral method with gains
and losses recognized in revenues when the hedged transaction occurs. If the
direct relationship to price risk ceases to exist, the difference in the
carrying value and fair value of a forward contract is recognized as a gain or
loss in revenues in the period the relationship ceases to exist.
The Company uses an interest rate swap to manage a portion of its interest
rate exposure. Revenues or expenses on interest rate swaps are recognized over
the lives of the agreements as adjustments to interest expense of the liability
being hedged. Any interest rate swap not qualifying for deferred accounting is
recorded at fair value.
Stock Compensation -- The Company uses the intrinsic value method of
accounting for stock-based compensation prescribed by Accounting Principles
Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB No.
25) and, accordingly, adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123).
Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements -- In June 1998, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
and for hedging activities. It requires that entities recognize all derivatives
as either assets or liabilities in the statements of financial position and
measure those instruments at fair value. Changes in a derivative's fair value
are to be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 133, as amended
by SFAS No. 137, no later than April 1, 2001. The Company has not yet quantified
the impact to its financial statements that may result from adoption of SFAS No.
133, however, the Company does not use derivative instruments or hedging
activities extensively in its business and therefore the adoption of this new
statement is not expected to materially affect the Company's financial positions
or results of operations. The new statement could however cause volatility in
the components of other comprehensive income.
Other - The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $5.0 million (which
is included in direct costs in the accompanying statement of operations) in the
second quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 related to staffing level
adjustments necessitated by the termination of certain North Sea contracts.
Substantially all amounts identified with this restructuring charge were
disbursed by March 31, 2000.

========== ==========
</TABLE>
On January 27, 1998, the Company issued $100 million aggregate principal
amount of 7 7/8% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") due 2008 discounted to yield
7.915%. Proceeds of $97.2 million, after debt issuance costs of $2.8 million,
were used to repay approximately (pound)40.7 million ($66.6 million) of Bristow
debt and to replace general corporate funds used to repay certain indebtedness
of Bristow in October 1997. The weighted average of the stated rates of interest
on the indebtedness retired was 16.6%, but had been adjusted to 8.5% as a result
of purchase accounting for the Company's investment in Bristow. The Senior Notes
are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries (see Note M).
On December 17, 1996, the Company issued $98 million of 6% Convertible
Subordinated Notes ("6% Notes") due 2003. The 6% Notes are convertible at any
time into the Company's Common Stock at a conversion price of $22.86 per share
(equivalent to a conversion rate of approximately 43.74 shares per $1,000
principal amount of 6% Notes). The 6% Notes are redeemable at the option of the
Company. The Company issued $7.5 million of the 6% Notes to Caledonia
Investments plc in conjunction with the investment in Bristow. Proceeds of $88.4
million, after debt issuance costs of $2.1 million, were also used to finance
the investment in Bristow. During 1999, the Company repurchased $7.1 million
face value of the 6% Notes in the open market at a gain to the Company, which
was not material.
Bristow renewed a term loan with a syndicate of United Kingdom banks on
January 26, 1998, that is repayable in semi-annual installments varying from
$1.6 to $4.8 million ((pound)1.0 to (pound)3.0 million) through December 31,
2002. The term loan bears interest at 0.8% above LIBOR rates. The average
interest rate for the term loan during the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
was 8.335% and 8.214%, respectively. The term loan is guaranteed by certain
United Kingdom subsidiaries of Bristow and is secured by a negative pledge on
all Bristow assets. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to
reduce the impact of change in interest rates on this floating rate long-term
debt. At March 31, 2000, the outstanding notional amount of the swap was
(pound)22 million ($35 million). The agreement matures on December 31, 2001. At
March 31, 2000, the fair value of the swap was (pound)372,000, ($592,000) and
the fair value of the notional amount of the swap in excess of the outstanding
principal amount of the term loan was (pound)76,000 ($121,000) which is included
in Accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.
In May 1997, the Company acquired five aircraft (including four AS332L
Super Pumas, which had previously been leased by Bristow under short-term
operating leases) for $32.3 million. The Company used existing cash and incurred
an additional $20.0 million of 7.9% fixed rate financing, that amortizes over
five years, to complete this transaction.
25
<PAGE>
OFFSHORE LOGISTICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-- (Continued)
The obligation under capital lease bears interest at a rate tied to LIBOR
and requires monthly payments. The lease is secured by the aircraft and the
guarantee of Bristow. The term loan with an unconsolidated affiliate bears
interest at the prime rate of a United Kingdom bank plus 0.5% and is due
December 22, 2000.
Bristow has a revolving credit facility, with the same syndicate of United
Kingdom banks as with the term loan, which matures December 31, 2002, and is
available for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes.
Availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to certain
limitations based on the value of certain qualifying helicopters. All advances
under the revolving credit facility bear interest at 0.6% above one, three, or
six month LIBOR rates. The revolving credit facility is guaranteed by certain
United Kingdom subsidiaries of Bristow and is secured by helicopter mortgages
and a negative pledge of all Bristow assets. The revolving credit facility is
(pound)15 million ($23.9 million) at March 31, 2000. There were no borrowings
under this revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2000; however, availability
on the line was reduced by (pound)1.4 million ($2.2 million) of outstanding
guarantees on certain obligations of Bristow. The facility requires Bristow to
pay a quarterly commitment fee at an average annual rate of 0.3% on the unused
portion of the line.
At March 31, 2000, the Company had a $20 million unsecured line of credit
with a U.S. bank that expires on September 30, 2001. There were no borrowings
under this line as of March 31, 2000. The rate of interest payable under the
line of credit is, at the Company's option, prime rate or LIBOR rate plus 1.25%.
The agreement requires the Company to pay a quarterly commitment fee at an
annual rate of .25% on the average unused portion of the line.
Aggregate annual maturities for all long-term debt, including the
capitalized lease, for the next five years are as follows: 2001 -- $16.5
million; 2002 -- $17.2 million; 2003 -- $16.5 million; 2004 -- $90.9 million;
and 2005 -- $0 million.
Interest paid during the year was $18,088,000, $19,881,000 and $21,673,000
for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The estimated fair value of the Company's total debt at March 31, 2000 and
1999 was $221.3 million and $229.4 million, respectively based on quoted market
prices for the publicly listed 6% Notes and the Senior Notes and the current
rates offered to the Company on other outstanding obligations.
C -- INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
The Company has two principal unconsolidated entities that are accounted
for on the cost method, as the Company is unable to exert significant influence
over their operations and one principal unconsolidated entity, which it accounts
for under the equity method. Each of these three investments is described in
further detail below.
The Company has a 49% investment in Hemisco Helicopters International,
Inc. ("HHII") and related venture companies. The Company's investment in HHII
was $2,637,000 at March 31, 2000 and 1999. There were no dividends received from
HHII during 2000. During 1999 and 1998, $857,000 and $2,292,000 respectively, in
dividends were received from HHII.
The Company has a 25% investment in an Egyptian helicopter venture. The
Company's investment in the venture was $5,986,000 at March 31, 2000 and 1999.
During 2000, 1999, and 1998, $1,793,000, $1,997,000 and $2,430,000,
respectively, in dividends were received from the venture. During 2000, the
venture's Board of Directors approved a cash dividend, of which the Company's
share applicable to fiscal year 2001 is approximately $1.5 million.

Bristow has a 50% investment in FBS Limited (FBS) which was formed in 1996
and was awarded a contract to provide pilot training and maintenance services to
the Defence Helicopter Flying School ("DHFS"), a newly established training
school for all branches of the British military, under a fifteen year contract
valued at approximately (pound)500 million over the full term. FBS purchased and
specially modified 47 aircraft and maintains a staff of approximately 600
employees dedicated to conducting these training activities which began in May
1997. Prior to FBS, Bristow had provided similar pilot training and maintenance
services to the British Army Air Corps since 1963. Bristow's partners in FBS had
similar experience in providing training services to other branches of the
British military. Bristow and its partners have given joint and several
guarantees related to the performance of this contract. To date, FBS has not
paid any cash dividends, although certain income tax benefits have been
distributed to Bristow. In the following unaudited table, FBS represents
$124,988,000 and $127,135,000 of the assets and $(2,070,000) and $(3,221,000) of
equity (deficit) at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. FBS also represents
$54,262,000, $54,863,000 and $54,577,000 of revenue and $4,737,000, $3,381,000
and $2,477,000 of net income for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

D -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In May 1997, the Company discontinued its investment in Cathodic
Protection Services Company which manufactured, installed and maintained
cathodic protection systems to arrest corrosion in oil and gas drilling and
production facilities, pipelines, oil and gas well casings, hydrocarbon
processing plants and other metal structures. The consolidated financial
statements of the Company and the related Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements and supplemental data reflect the results of operations net as a
discontinued operation in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
E -- INVESTMENT IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Under the provisions of SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities", investments in debt and equity securities are
required to be classified in one of three categories: held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale, or trading. As of March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had
(pound)4.8 million ($7.6 million and $7.7 million, respectively) of UK
government securities classified as available-for-sale included in other assets.
F -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has noncancelable operating leases in connection with the lease
of certain equipment, land and facilities. Rental expense incurred under these
leases was $4,605,000 in 2000, $2,150,000 in 1999, and $1,872,000 in 1998. On
March 29, 1999, the Company entered into an eight year operating lease for a new
aircraft under which it provided the lessor with a residual value guarantee of
up to 15% ($1,972,000) of the aircraft's original cost. During 2000, the Company
entered into a similar lease for a second aircraft of comparable value providing
the lessor with a residual value guarantee of up to 15% ($1,870,000) of the
aircraft's original cost. As of March 31, 2000, aggregate future payments under
noncancelable operating leases are as follows: 2001 -- $4,423,000; 2002 --
$4,355,000; 2003 -- $4,255,000; 2004 -- $3,883,000 and 2005 -- $3,746,000.
On November 16, 1999, the Office and Professional Employees International
Union ("OPEIU") petitioned the National Mediation Board ("NMB") to conduct an
election among the mechanics and related personnel employed by both Air
Logistics, LLC and Air Logistics of Alaska, Inc. The election for Air Logistics,
L.L.C. was held on March 13, 2000 with the mechanics voting in favor of the
Company. The NMB dismissed the matter with respect to the Alaska-based group on
January 24, 2000, but due to extraordinary circumstances, the NMB did accept
another representation application covering the Air Logistics of Alaska, Inc.
mechanics and related employees. The election is set with two unions on the
ballot, the OPEIU and International Union of Operating Engineers. The ballots
will be counted on July 11, 2000. The Company does not believe that current
organizing efforts will place it at a disadvantage with its competitors and
management believes that pay scales, benefits, and work rules will continue to
be similar through out the industry.

The valuation allowance was established for the deferred tax asset related
to foreign tax credits. Companies may use foreign tax credits to offset the
United States income taxes due on income earned from foreign sources. However,
the credit is limited by the total income on the United States income tax return
as well as by the ratio of foreign source income in each statutory category to
total income. Excess foreign tax credits may be carried back two years and
forward five years. As of March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company did not believe
it was more likely than not that it would generate sufficient foreign sourced
income within the appropriate period to utilize all the foreign tax credits.
Certain of the above components have changed due to changes in foreign currency
rates.

The Internal Revenue Service has examined the Company's Federal income tax
returns for all years through 1996. The years have been closed through 1996,
either through settlement or expiration of the statute of limitations. The
Company believes that it has made adequate provision for income taxes that may
become payable with respect to open tax years.
Unremitted foreign earnings reinvested abroad upon which deferred income
taxes have not been provided aggregated approximately $18.8 million at March 31,
2000. Due to the timing and circumstances of repatriation of such earnings, if
any, it is not practicable to determine the unrecognized deferred tax liability
relating to such amounts. Withholding taxes, if any, upon repatriation would not
be significant.
Income taxes paid during 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $7,042,000; $4,857,000
and $4,516,000, respectively.

H -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Savings and Retirement Plans
The Company currently has two qualified defined contribution plans, which
cover substantially all employees other than Bristow employees.
The Offshore Logistics, Inc. Employee Savings and Retirement Plan ("OLOG
Plan") covers corporate level and Air Log employees. Under the OLOG Plan, except
for those employees working in the state of Alaska, the Company matches each
participant's contributions up to 3% of the employee's compensation. In
addition, the Company contributes an additional 3% of the employee's
compensation at the end of each calendar year. Under the OLOG Plan, for Air Log
employees working in the state of Alaska, the Company matches each participant's
contributions up to 4% of the employee's compensation.
The Grasso Production Management, Inc. Thrift & Profit Sharing Trust covers
eligible GPM employees. Effective January 1, 1999, the Company began matching
each participant's contributions up to 3% of the employee's compensation, plus a
50% match of contributions up to an additional 2% of compensation. Previously,
the Company matched 25% of each participant's contributions up to 6% of the
employee's compensation.
Bristow has a defined benefit retirement plan, which covers all full-time
employees of Bristow employed on or before December 31, 1997. The plan is funded
by contributions partly from employees and partly from Bristow. Members
contribute up to 7.5% of pensionable salary (as defined) and can pay additional
voluntary contributions to provide additional benefits. The benefits are based
on the employee's annualized average last three years pensionable salaries. Plan
assets are held in separate trustee administered funds, which are primarily
invested in equities and bonds in the United Kingdom. For employees hired after
December 31, 1997, Bristow contributes 4% (5% for pilots) of the employees base
salary into a defined contribution retirement plan operated by a private
insurance company.
The following table sets forth the defined benefit retirement plan's funded
status in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 87 "Employers' Accounting

Incentive and Stock Option Plans
Under the 1994 Long-Term Management Incentive Plan, as amended ("1994
Plan"), a maximum of 1,900,000 shares of Common Stock, or cash equivalents of
Common Stock, were provided for awards to officers and key employees. Awards
granted under the 1994 Plan may be in the form of stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, other stock-based awards
or any combination thereof. Options become exercisable at such time or times as
determined at the date of grant and expire no more than ten years after the date
of grant. Incentive stock option prices are determined by the Board and cannot
be less than fair market value at the date of grant. Non-qualified stock option
prices cannot be less than 50% of the fair market value at the date of grant.
The Annual Incentive Compensation Plan ("Annual Plan") provides for an
annual award of cash bonuses to key employees based primarily on pre-established
objective measures of Company performance. Participants are permitted to receive
all or any part of their annual incentive bonus in the form of shares of
Restricted Stock in accordance with the terms of the 1994 Plan. The bonuses
related to this plan were $418,000, $550,000 and $838,000 for the years ended
March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. There were no shares of Restricted
Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2000.
The 1991 Non-qualified Stock Option Plan for Non-employee Directors ("1991
Plan") provided for a maximum of 200,000 shares of Common Stock to be reserved
for issuance pursuant to such plan. As of the date of each annual meeting each
non-employee director, who meets certain attendance criteria, will automatically
be granted an option to purchase 2,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The
exercise price of the options granted shall be equal to the fair market value of
the Common Stock on the date of grant and are exercisable not earlier than six
months after the date of grant.
Under the Company's stock option plans there were 1,852,802 shares of
Common Stock reserved for issue at March 31, 2000 of which 655,802 shares are
available for future grants.
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under APB No. 25.
Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant date
consistent with the optional provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net
income and earnings per common share would have approximated the pro forma
amounts below:

I -- EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
year. Diluted earnings per common share for the years ended March 31, 1999 and
1998 were determined on the assumption that the convertible debt was converted
on April 1, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The computation of diluted earnings per
common share for year ended March 31, 2000 excluded 3,976,928 shares related to
the convertible debt which were outstanding during the period but were
anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share for the years ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, excluded 1,028,599 and 423,625 stock options, respectively, at a weighted
average exercise price of $14.37 and $16.51, respectively, which were
outstanding during the period but were anti-dilutive. The following table sets
forth the computation of basic and diluted income from continuing operations per
share:

The Company adopted a stockholder rights plan on February 9, 1996,
designed to assure that the Company's stockholders receive fair and equal
treatment in the event of any proposed takeover of the Company and to guard
against partial tender offers, squeeze-outs, open market accumulations and other
abusive tactics to gain control without paying all stockholders a fair price.
The rights plan was not adopted in response to any specific takeover proposal.
Under the rights plan, the Company declared a dividend of one right ("Right") on
each share of the Company's common stock. Each Right will entitle the holder to
purchase one one-hundredth of a share of a new Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, at an exercise price of $50.00. Each
Right will entitle its holder to purchase a number of common shares of the
Company having a market value of twice the exercise price. The Rights are not
currently exercisable and will become exercisable only in the event a person or
group acquires beneficial ownership of 10 percent or more of the Company's
common stock. The dividend distribution was made on February 29, 1996 to
stockholders of record on that date. The Rights will expire on February 26,
2006.

J -- RELATED PARTIES
On December 19, 1996, OLOG acquired 49% of the common stock and a
significant amount of Bristow subordinated debt as detailed below. Bristow is
incorporated in England and holds all of the outstanding shares in Bristow
Helicopter Group Limited ("BHGL"). Bristow is organized with three different
classes of ordinary shares (common stock) having disproportionate voting rights.
The Company, Caledonia Investments plc and its subsidiary, Caledonia Industrial
& Services Limited (collectively, "Caledonia") and a Norwegian investor (the
"E.U. Investor"), own 49%, 49% and 2%, respectively, of Bristow's total
outstanding ordinary shares.
The Company paid (pound)80.2 million (approximately $132 million) in cash
(funded from existing cash balances and the proceeds of the 6% Notes), issued
$7.5 million of the 6% Notes to Caledonia and issued 1,374,389 shares of common
stock on December 19, 1996 for its ownership of Bristow. Caledonia received
1,300,000 shares of the common stock and BHGL's management received 74,389
shares. In addition, the Company acquired (pound)5.0 million ($8.4 million)
principal amount of BHGL's subordinated debt for cash of approximately
(pound)5.4 million ($8.9 million) including accrued interest.
In addition to its ownership of 49% of Bristow's outstanding ordinary
shares and (pound)5.0 million principal amount of Bristow's subordinated debt,
the Company acquired (pound)91.0 million (approximately $150 million) principal
amount of subordinated unsecured loan stock (debt) of Bristow bearing interest
at an annual rate of 13.5% and payable semi-annually. Bristow has the right to
defer payment of interest on such debt until January 31, 2002. Any such deferred
interest would also accrue interest at an annual rate of 13.5%.
The Company, Caledonia, the E.U. Investor and Bristow entered into a
shareholders' agreement respecting, among other things, the composition of the
board of directors of Bristow. On matters coming before Bristow's board,
Caledonia's appointees have a total of five votes and the four other directors
have one vote each. So long as Caledonia has a significant interest in the
shares of Common Stock issued to it pursuant to the transaction or maintains its
voting control of Bristow, Caledonia will have the right to nominate two persons
to the board of directors of the Company and to replace any such directors so
nominated.
Caledonia, the Company and the E.U. Investor also entered into a Put/Call
Agreement under which, upon giving specified prior notice, the Company has the
right to buy all the Bristow shares held by Caledonia and the E.U. Investor,
who, in turn, each has the right to sell such shares to the Company. Under
current United Kingdom law, the Company would be required, in order for Bristow
to retain its operating license, to find a qualified European investor to own
any Bristow shares it has the right to acquire under the Put/Call Agreement. Any
put or call of the Bristow shares will be subject to the approval of the Civil
Aviation Authority ("CAA"). Caledonia receives management fees from Bristow that
are payable semi-annually in advance ranging from (pound)500,000 to
(pound)900,000 annually for the next four years.

M -- SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On January 27, 1998, the Company completed the sale of $100 million
7 7/8% Senior Notes due 2008, which were discounted to yield 7.915%. The net
proceeds to the Company were $97.2 million. In connection with the sale of the
Senior Notes, certain of the Company's subsidiaries (the "Guarantor
Subsidiaries") jointly, severally and unconditionally guaranteed the payment
obligations under the Senior Notes. The following supplemental financial
information sets forth, on a consolidating basis, the balance sheet, statement
of income and cash flow information for Offshore Logistics, Inc. ("Parent
Company Only"), for the Guarantor Subsidiaries and for Offshore Logistics,
Inc.'s other subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The Company has
not presented separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the
Guarantor Subsidiaries because management has determined that such information
is not material to investors.
The supplemental condensed consolidating financial information has been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for condensed financial
information and does not include all disclosures included in annual financial
statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. Certain reclassifications were
made to conform all of the financial information to the financial presentation
on a consolidated basis. The principal eliminating entries eliminate investments
in subsidiaries, intercompany balances and intercompany revenues and expenses.
During 1998, the Company formed a new wholly owned subsidiary and
contributed the Company's operating assets, separate from its investment in its
subsidiaries, to the newly formed subsidiary. The subsidiary is a Guarantor
Subsidiary. For purposes of the historical supplemental financial information,
the Company has presented the aforementioned operating assets and related
operating results together with the operating assets and results of other
Guarantor Subsidiaries.
The allocation of the consolidated income tax provision was made using the
with and without allocation method.
