NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The amounts presented in the balance sheet as of March 31, 1996 were
derived from the Company's audited financial statements included in its
Form 10-K Report filed for the year then ended. The notes to such
statements are incorporated herein by reference.
(1) Management's Representation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring
nature) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of
September 30, 1996 and March 31, 1996, the results of operations for the
three and six months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the cash flows
for the six month period ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.
While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate
to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the related notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of casing and tubing. The Company
values its inventories at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable
value using the specific identification method.
Property and Equipment
Drilling equipment is depreciated on a units-of-production method
based on the monthly utilization of the equipment. Drilling equipment
which is not utilized during a month is depreciated using a minimum
utilization rate of approximately twenty-five percent. Estimated useful
lives range from four to eight years. Other property and equipment is
depreciated using the straight-line method of depreciation with estimated
useful lives of three to seven years.
Oil and gas properties are accounted for using the successful efforts
method. Accordingly, the costs incurred to acquire property (proved and
unproved), all development costs and successful exploratory costs are
capitalized, whereas the costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells are
expensed. Geological and geophysical costs, including seismic costs, are
charged to expense when incurred. In cases where the Company provides
contract drilling services related to oil and gas properties in which it
has an ownership interest, the Company's proportionate share of costs
related to these properties is capitalized as stated above, net of the
-11-
<PAGE> 12
Company's working interest share of profits from the related drilling
contracts. Capitalized costs of undeveloped properties, which are not
depleted until proved reserves can be associated with the properties, are
periodically reviewed for possible impairment.
Depletion, depreciation and amortization of capitalized oil and gas
property costs was provided using the units-of-production method based on
estimated proved or proved developed oil and gas reserves, as applicable,
of the respective property units.
Major renewals and betterments are capitalized in the appropriate
property accounts while the cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to
operating expense in the period incurred. For assets sold or otherwise
retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation amounts are removed
from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.
Net Income Per Common Share
Net income per share of common stock is based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each period. All common stock
equivalents are considered dilutive for purposes of calculating the net
income per share.
(3) Debt
Line of Credit
On January 16, 1996, the Company entered into a loan agreement with
Norwest Bank Texas, Midland, N.A. (Norwest) that provides for a $3,000,000
revolving line of credit secured by the Company's drilling rigs and related
equipment, accounts receivable and inventory. Borrowings under the line of
credit bear interest at the Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association
base rate and the interest is payable monthly. The loan matures January
15, 1998 at which time the then outstanding principal and all of the
accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable. At September 30, 1996, the
Company had borrowed $3,000,000 under the facility. Prior to November 13,
1996, the Company was in violation of certain financial covenants of the
loan agreement. On November 13, 1996, Norwest agreed to amend the loan
agreement and, as a result, the Company is in compliance with all the debt
covenants.
On August 15, 1996, the Company and Norwest entered into another loan
agreement which provides for a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit secured
by the Company's oil and gas producing properties. At September 30, 1996,
the Company had borrowed $1,500,000 under this line of credit. The line of
credit bears interest at the Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association
base rate and the interest is payable monthly. The line of credit matures
on February 15, 1998.

(4) Stockholders' Equity
1984 Stock Option Plan
In August of 1984, the Company adopted the 1984 Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") which initially authorized 375,000 shares of the Company's common
stock to be issued as either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock
options. This Plan was amended in August 1986 to increase the authorized
shares to 475,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In January 1988,
the Plan was amended to reduce the option price on certain options issued
prior to March 31, 1986, to reflect the then current fair market value of
the Company's common stock. The Plan provides that options may be granted
to key employees or directors for various terms at a price not less than
the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. Options to
purchase 108,000 shares of common stock are currently outstanding under the
Plan, with 84,250 of the options being exercisable at September 30, 1996.
No additional shares are available for grant as the Plan expired by its own
terms in August 1994. The options that were granted prior to the
expiration of the Plan, and which are outstanding, remain subject to the
terms of the Plan.
1994 Stock Option Plan
In July 1994, the Company adopted its 1994 Stock Option Plan (the
"1994 Plan") which authorized the grant of options to purchase up to
750,000 shares of the Company's common stock. These options may be issued
as either incentive or nonqualified stock options. The 1994 Plan provides
that options may be granted to key employees or directors for various terms
at a price not less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of
grant. The 1994 Plan was ratified and approved by the stockholders at the
Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on August 30, 1994.
On September 3, 1996, the Company granted 465,000 shares of
nonqualified stock options to key employees under the 1994 Plan. The
following sets forth certain information concerning these nonqualified
options.

(5) Employee Benefits
Effective May 1, 1995, the Company established the TMBR/Sharp
Drilling, Inc. Employee Retirement Plan which is a 401(K) profit sharing
plan. Company contributions are discretionary and have been currently set
at 25% for each dollar contributed by each eligible employee, limited,
however, to a maximum of 5% of the employee's compensation.
(6) Contingencies
On March 19, 1992, the Company was notified by the Texas Department of
Insurance that the Company's former workers' compensation insurance
carriers, Sir Lloyd's Insurance Company and its affiliate, Standard
Financial Indemnity Corporation ("SFIC"), had been placed in liquidation by
order of the 201st District Court of Travis County, Texas on March 12, 1992
in Cause No. 92-12765, The State of Texas vs. Sir Lloyd's Insurance Company
and Sir Insurance Agency, Inc., and in Cause No. 91-12766, The State of
Texas vs. Standard Financial Indemnity Corporation. Approximately two
months before being ordered into liquidation, SFIC requested that the
Company pay policy premiums in the amount of $646,476. On July 22, 1993
the special deputy receiver of SFIC billed the Company approximately
$1,061,000 for retrospective premiums, but adjusted the amount to $854,153
on January 12, 1994. Although the Company disputes the amount claimed by
SFIC and its receiver, the Company is presently unable to determine whether
and to what extent such amount is, in fact, an accurate estimate of amounts
owed to SFIC, if any, largely as a result of the difficulty of verifying
the insurance carrier's estimated claims and adjustments and the
unavailability of SFIC personnel. However, an accrual was made in the
Company's financial statements for the amount in question.
In a related development, on November 3, 1995, the Company was
notified that a lawsuit had been filed in Travis County, Texas styled Texas
Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association vs. TMBR/Sharp
Drilling, Inc. (Cause No. 95-12318). The Texas Property and Casualty
Insurance Guaranty Association ("Guaranty Association") seeks a recovery of
past workers' compensation claims advanced by the Guaranty Association
related to the Company's workers compensation insurance program with SFIC.
The Guaranty Association is seeking to recover a total of $803,057.11.
The Company disagrees with the claims made by the Guaranty Association
and intends to vigorously defend its position against the Receiver of SFIC
and the Texas Guaranty Association. The Company believes that if the
Guaranty Association's claim is ultimately determined to be valid and
enforceable, then the Receiver's claim against the Company is either
without merit or that its claim would be offset against the claims of the
Guaranty Association. For these reasons, the Company has not accrued the
Guaranty Association's claim in its financial statements.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In addition to historical information, this discussion contains
certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties
about the business, long-term strategy, financial condition and future of
the Company. Factors that may affect future results are included in the
discussion below and in Part I, Items 1 and 2 of the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended March 31, 1996. Actual results could differ materially
from those forward-looking statements.
Results of Operations
Total revenues were $4,296,000 and $7,713,000 for the three and six
months ended September 30, 1996 which represents a 24% and 35% decrease
over the same periods in 1995. Operating expenses as a percent of revenue
were 90% and 96% for the three and six months ended September 30, 1996
versus 86% and 90% for the same period of the prior year. These decreases
can be attributed to a decrease in rig utilization rates.
Rig utilization rates were 44% and 39% for the three and six months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 40% and 47% in the same periods in
1995. Presently, the Company is experiencing a strong upward increase in
demand for its contract drilling services. Rig utilization in the
Company's operating market is difficult to project because contract
drilling is a highly competitive industry. In addition, the number of
rigs, industry wide, actually available for work cannot be accurately
determined.
Oil and gas revenues increased by approximately 6% and 19% for the
three and six months ended September 30, 1996 compared to September 30,
1995 periods, respectively. Accordingly, oil and gas production expenses
also increased. Depreciation and depletion expense has also increased due
to the increase in the number of producing wells in which the Company has
an ownership interest.
Interest expense has increased due to the borrowings under the
Company's line of credit with Norwest.
Net working capital was a negative $334,000 for the period ended
September 30, 1996 compared to a negative $1,236,000 for the period ended
March 31, 1996. The increase in working capital can be attributed to a
decrease in trade payables and an increase in accounts receivable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On January 16, 1996, the Company entered into a loan agreement with
Norwest Bank Texas, Midland, N. A. (Norwest) that provides for a $3,000,000
revolving line of credit secured by the Company's drilling rigs and related
equipment, accounts receivable and inventory. Borrowings under the line of
credit bear interest at the Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association
base rate. Interest only is payable monthly. The loans mature January 15,
1998, at which time, the then outstanding principal and accrued interest is
-15-
<PAGE> 16
due and payable. At September 30, 1996, the Company had borrowed
$3,000,000 under the facility.
On August 15, 1996, the Company and Norwest entered into another loan
agreement which provides for a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit secured
by the Company's oil and gas producing properties. At September 30, 1996,
the Company had borrowed $1,500,000 under this line of credit. The line of
credit bears interest at the Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association
base rate and the interest is payable monthly. The line of credit matures
on February 15, 1998. Prior to November 13, 1996, the Company was in
violation of certain financial covenants of the loan agreement. On
November 13, 1996, Norwest agreed to amend the loan agreement and, as a
result, the Company is in compliance with all the debt covenants. The
Company intends to meet its cash flow requirements for fiscal 1997 through
cash flow provided from operations and if needed, additional borrowings.
The Company believes it owns a sufficient number of drilling rigs to
remain competitive within its areas of operation. However, the cash flow
generated from operations and the Company's operating results will continue
to be directly affected by the level of drilling activity in the Company's
operating areas. By focusing on drilling contracts which can provide
operating cash flow, the Company believes its operating cash flow will
improve. Cash required by operating activities was approximately $110,000
for the quarter compared with a $2.1 million inflow for the six months
ended September 30, 1995.
As a result of the present worldwide excess supply of crude oil and
natural gas and higher domestic finding costs on an equivalent unit basis,
producers have significantly reduced their domestic drilling budgets. This
decreased demand coupled with the extreme competitive conditions prevalent
in the contract drilling industry continue to challenge the Company.

owed to SFIC, if any, largely as a result of the difficulty of verifying
the insurance carrier's estimated claims and adjustments and the
unavailability of SFIC personnel. However, an accrual was made in the
Company's financial statements for the amount in question.
In a related development, on November 3, 1995, the Company was
notified that a lawsuit had been filed in Travis County, Texas styled Texas
Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association vs. TMBR/Sharp
Drilling, Inc. (Cause No. 95-12318). The Texas Property and Casualty
Insurance Guaranty Association ("Guaranty Association") seeks a recovery of
past workers' compensation claims advanced by the Guaranty Association
related to the Company's workers compensation insurance program with SFIC.
The Guaranty Association is seeking to recover a total of $803,057.11.
The Company disagrees with the claims made by the Guaranty Association
and intends to vigorously defend its position against the Receiver of SFIC
and the Texas Guaranty Association. The Company believes that if the
Guaranty Association's claim is ultimately determined to be valid and
enforceable, then the Receiver's claim against the Company is either
without merit or that its claim would be offset against the claims of the
Guaranty Association. For these reasons, the Company has not accrued the
Guaranty Association's claim in its financial statements.
