                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       The consolidated financial statements included herein have been 
         prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and 
         regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Footnote 
         disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in 
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been 
         condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These 
         consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with 
         the financial statements and related notes contained in the 
         Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 
         December 31, 1998.

         In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements 
         included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly 
         the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 1999, and the 
         results of operations and the cash flows for the three months then 
         ended.

2.       Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net 
         income by the respective weighted average number of shares 
         outstanding during the respective periods.

3.       The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, are  
         not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 
         year.

4.       In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for 
         Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133), which 
         establishes standards for reporting and disclosing information about 
         derivative instruments. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years 
         beginning after June 15, 1999. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not 
         expected to have a material impact.

5.       RPC has two reportable segments: oil and gas services and boat 
         manufacturing. The oil and gas services segment provides a variety 
         of services, equipment, and personnel to the oil and gas industry. 
         The boat manufacturing segment manufactures and sells powerboats to 
         a nationwide network of independent dealers.

         RPC evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations 
         before income taxes. RPC accounts for intersegment sales and 
         transfers as if the sales or

         transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. 
         RPC's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer 
         different products and services. They are managed separately because 
         each business requires different technology and marketing 
         strategies. All of these businesses were acquired as a unit, and the 
         management at the time of acquisition was retained.

         Certain information with respect to RPC's business segments is set 
         forth in the following table:

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


THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998



Revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999, was $54,935,000 compared 
with $66,940,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. Revenue for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1999, decreased $12,005,000 or 18% from the same 
period one year ago. The oil and gas services segment revenue of $20,512,000 
decreased 43% from last year's first quarter. This decrease was due to a slow 
down in drilling activity. Oil and natural gas prices have decreased 8% and 
22%, respectively, as compared to the first quarter of 1998. The average US 
rig count has also declined 43% versus last year's first quarter. The 
powerboat manufacturing segment revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, 
of $31,233,000 increased 18% from last year's first quarter of $26,487,000 
which is attributed to an increase in the volume of boats sold coupled with 
an increase in the average sales price versus the prior year. The increase in 
the average sales price is the result of a price increase and an increase in 
the number of larger boats sold versus prior year.

Cost of goods sold for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999, was 
$25,911,000 compared to $23,121,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 
1998, an increase of $2,790,000 or 12%. This increase is somewhat less than 
the increase in sales due to a change in product mix with a greater 
percentage of larger, higher margin boats being sold.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, was $1,229,000 or $0.04 
diluted earnings per share versus net income of $5,654,000 or $0.19 diluted 
earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. Basic earnings per 
share was the same as diluted earnings per share at $0.04 cents per share 
versus $0.19 cents per share last year. The decrease in earnings from the 
same period one year ago was due to the decreased revenues coupled with 
decreased profit margins for the oil and gas services segment offset to some 
extent by the increase in revenues and profit margins for the powerboat 
manufacturing segment.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

The Company's current ratio remained strong as of March 31, 1999, with 
current assets of $70,063,000 exceeding current liabilities of $32,858,000 by 
a ratio of 2.1-to-1. This compares to a current ratio of 2.2-to-1 at December 
31, 1998.

Capital expenditures during the first three months of 1999 totaling $2,282,000
were primarily for revenue-producing equipment in the oil and gas services
segment. The remainder was spent on various purchases for the other business
segments. Funding for future capital requirements is expected to be provided
from operations.

Year 2000 Issue
- ---------------

The Company began its assessment and remediation processes related to the 
Year 2000 (Y2K) information technology programming issue in 1997. RPC's 
assessment activities have included (1) identifying all software and 
operating systems -both information technology (IT) and non-IT systems with 
embedded technology, which are critical to operations and/or financial 
reporting, (2) testing of such software and systems for Y2K compliance, and 
(3) obtaining assurances from its vendors and its large commercial customers. 
RPC's remediation activities have included replacing certain software and 
operating systems, followed by testing to ensure the Y2K compliance of the 
replacements.

Based on its assessment and remediation activities to date, RPC believes that 
its critical internal software and operating systems are Y2K compliant with 
the exception of a subsidiary billing system. The total cost of Y2K 
expenditures to date have not been material. The remaining Y2K remediation 
costs are anticipated to be less than $50,000.

Based on assurances from the majority of its vendors and large commercial 
customers to date, RPC does not anticipate any material Y2K impact on its 
operations or financial reporting at this time. RPC believes that the worst 
case scenario will be temporary delays in billing and collection of customer 
receivables. RPC expects to have contingency plans in place by the end of 
1999 that address any potential Y2K issues.

Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------

Management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial 
condition include "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), Section 
21E of the Securities Exchange

                                  8 of 12

Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the Private Securities 
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of 
historical facts, included or incorporated by reference which address 
activities, events or developments which the Company expects or anticipates 
will or may occur in the future, including statements regarding the impact of 
the year 2000 programming issue, funding of future capital requirements, 
potential exposure to market risk, and anticipated trends and similar 
expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts, are 
forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions 
and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its 
perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future 
developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the 
circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform 
with the Company's expectations are influenced by a number of factors, 
including economic conditions, conditions in the industries in which the 
Company operates, competition, and other factors, many of which are beyond 
the control of the Company. Consequently, all of the forward-looking 
statements made are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be 
no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the 
Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will 
have the expected consequences to or effects on the Company or its business 
or operations. The Company assumes no obligation to update publicly any such 
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future 
events, or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

RPC maintains an investment portfolio, comprised of U.S. Government and 
corporate debt securities, which is subject to interest rate risk exposure. 
This risk is managed through conservative policies to invest in high-quality 
obligations. RPC has performed an interest rate sensitivity analysis using a 
duration model over the near term with a 10 percent change in interest rates. 
RPC's portfolio is not subject to material interest rate risk exposure based 
on this analysis. RPC does not expect any material changes in market risk 
exposures or how those risks are managed.

manner and subject to such regulations as the board of directors may prescribe.

directors, in such sum and in form and with security satisfactory to the board
of directors for the faithful performance of the duties of his office and the
restoration to the Corporation, in case of his death, resignation or removal

         FOURTEENTH: In the case of the absence or disability of any officer of
the Corporation or for any other reason deemed sufficient by a majority of the
board, the board of directors may delegate his powers or duties, to any other
officer or to any director for the duration of such absence or disability.

         TWENTIETH: All checks, drafts or orders for the payment of money shall

         TWENTY-SECOND: Notice required or permitted to be given under the
provisions of these bylaws to any director, officer or stockholder shall not be
construed to mean personal notice, but may be given in writing by depositing the
same in a post office or letter-box, in a postpaid sealed wrapper, addressed to
such stockholder, officer or director at such address as appears on the books of
the Corporation, and such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time when
the same shall be thus mailed. Any stockholder, officer or director may waive,

<PAGE>



bylaws whether before or after the time stated therein.

manner and to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, any person (or the estate of any
person) who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by
or in the right of the Corporation, and whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director, officer or General Counsel of the Corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or General


<PAGE>


Counsel of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise. The indemnification provided herein shall be made if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interest of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; except
that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person shall have been determined to be liable for gross
negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duty to the
Corporation. Such determination may be made by a majority of a committee
composed of the directors not involved in the matter in controversy (whether or
not a quorum). To the full extent permitted by law, the indemnification provided
herein shall include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement, and, in the manner provided by law, any such
expenses may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of
such action, suit or proceeding. The indemnification provided herein shall not
be deemed to limit the right of the Corporation to indemnify any other employee
for such expenses to the full extent provided by law, nor shall it be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification from
the Corporation may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity
and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The Corporation
may, to the full extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any such person against any liability which may be asserted against
him.
