                               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Stock Bonus Plan Committee
Parker Drilling Company Stock Bonus Plan

         We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of Parker Drilling Company Stock Bonus Plan as of August 31, 1993 and
1992 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan Administrator.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of
Parker Drilling Company Stock Bonus Plan at August 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

         Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of
Parker Drilling Company Stock Bonus Plan are presented for purposes of
complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements.  The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated, in
all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

                                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

          Effective September 1, 1985, the Parker Drilling Company Profit
     Sharing Plan was renamed the Parker Drilling Company Stock Bonus Plan (the
     "Plan").  The Plan was adopted as of September 1, 1980.  

          During 1993 and 1992, certain administrative costs and expenses of the
     Plan were paid by Parker Drilling Company (the "Company").  These costs
     totalled $106,650 and $59,325 for the Plan years ended August 31, 1993 and
     1992, respectively.  

          The following description of the Plan provides only general
     information.  Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description or
     the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
     provisions.

          The following are the Plan's current investment funds.  All of the
     funds (except Funds C and F) are available for participant investment
     elections.  Funds G, H, and I were introduced during the current plan
     year.    

     FUND A - Contributions are invested in shares of stock issued by the
     Twentieth Century Growth Investors.  This is a no-load mutual fund which
     seeks capital growth through investment in securities which the fund
     considers to have better than average prospects for appreciation in value.

     FUND B - Contributions are invested in shares issued by the Merrill Lynch
     Ready Assets Trust.  This is a no-load money market fund which seeks
     preservation of capital, liquidity and the highest possible current income
     consistent with the foregoing objectives available from short-term money
     market securities.

     FUND C - Contributions are invested in shares of the United Services
     Prospector Fund.  This is a no-load mutual fund which has the principal
     objective of capital growth without regard to current income.  Investments
     will be primarily in foreign companies engaged in exploration, mining,
     processing, fabrication and distribution of natural resources of all kinds
     including gold, silver and other precious metals, diamonds, coal, oil and
     timber.  In November 1985, this fund was withdrawn as a contributory
     investment choice from the Plan.  Participants who had contributed to the
     Prospector Fund were given the choice of keeping their balance in Fund C
     or making an investment election change to one of the other funds offered
     under the Plan.  Effective September 1, 1993, Fund C will no longer be an
     investment option.  All remaining plan assets will be distributed to the
     other investment funds, per participant election.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, Continued

     FUND D - Contributions are invested in the Parker Drilling Company Stock
     Fund.  The Trustee will acquire these shares either from Parker Drilling
     Company or other sources at the prevailing price on the New York Stock
     Exchange or in the open market.  The number of shares acquired with
     employee contributions during any month will be determined by the average
     price plus transaction costs of all shares acquired by the Trustee with
     participant contributions made during the month.  

     FUND E - Contributions are invested in shares of the Merrill Lynch Capital
     Fund, Inc.  This is a front-load mutual fund which seeks to achieve the
     highest total investment return consistent with prudent risk through a
     fully managed investment policy utilizing equity, debt, and convertible
     securities.

     FUND F - Contributions are invested in shares of the Merrill Lynch Natural
     Resources Trust.  This is a back-load mutual fund which seeks to achieve
     long-term growth of capital and to protect the purchase power of
     shareholders' capital by investing in a portfolio of equity securities
     (i.e., common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks) of
     domestic and foreign companies with substantial natural resource assets. 
     Effective September 1, 1993, Fund F will no longer be an investment
     option.  All remaining plan assets will be distributed to the other
     investment funds, per participant election.  

     FUND G - Contributions are invested in shares of the IDS Trust Collective
     Income Fund.  This is a fund which seeks to preserve principal while
     maximizing current income by investing in investment contracts offered by
     a variety of financial institutions such as insurance companies, mutual
     funds, brokerage houses and banks.  

     FUND H - Contributions are invested in shares of the Merrill Lynch
     Corporate Bond Fund, Inc. - Intermediate Term Portfolio.  This fund
     invests in bonds rated in the four highest rating categories by Moody's
     Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation, in order to
     obtain as high a level of current income as is consistent with the
     investment policies of the fund and with prudent investment management.

     FUND I - Contributions are invested in shares of the Twentieth Century
     Balanced Investors.  This fund seeks to maintain approximately 60% of the
     Fund's assets in common stocks that are considered by management to have
     better-than-average prospects for appreciation and the balance in bonds
     and other fixed income securities in order to obtain capital growth and
     current income.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, Continued

     SHORT-TERM INVESTMENT FUND - The trustee temporarily invests contributions
     in short-term investments such as treasury bills or commercial paper
     pending eventual investment in the funds selected by the participants.

     ELIGIBILITY - All employees of Parker Drilling Company and subsidiaries
     (the "Company"), other than employees covered by certain collective
     bargaining agreements, leased employees and employees who are not citizens
     of the United States (except for certain resident aliens), are eligible to
     participate in the Plan following the completion of one year of service
     with the Company.  

     CONTRIBUTIONS - Salary reduction contributions and employer matching
     contributions are accrued in the period the Company makes payroll
     deductions from plan participants.

          Profit sharing contributions from the Company are accrued when
     authorized by the Board of Directors.

          All contributions are subject to the provisions of the Internal Reve-
     nue Code and are paid within the time prescribed by law for filing the
     employer's income tax returns.  

     EMPLOYER'S CONTRIBUTION - MATCHING - The employer's matching contributions
     to the Plan are discretionary.  Advance notification will be given as to
     whether the Board of Directors of the Company has decided to authorize a
     Company matching contribution or whether it has decided to eliminate,
     reduce or change the Company's matching contribution.  The Company may
     match dollar for dollar a participant's contributions up to 3% of his/her
     eligible earnings.  Matching contributions are credited to participant
     accounts as of each valuation date and are invested in common stock of
     Parker Drilling Company.  Valuation dates are the last business day of
     each month.

     EMPLOYER'S CONTRIBUTION - PROFIT SHARING CONTRIBUTIONS - The employer's
     contributions to the Plan are discretionary and are determined annually by
     the Board of Directors of the Company.  At August 31 of each year, the
     employer's contributions are allocated to each active participant's
     account based on the ratio of the participant's compensation for the Plan
     year to the total of active participants' compensation for the Plan year.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, Continued

          The Board of Directors of the Company has not exercised its discretion
     to make a profit sharing contribution for fiscal years 1993 and 1992.

     PARTICIPANTS' SALARY REDUCTION CONTRIBUTIONS - Salary reduction
     contribution participants are not required to contribute to the Plan, how-
     ever, they may elect to make voluntary salary reduction contributions not
     to exceed 15 percent of their eligible earnings.  Such voluntary contri-
     butions may be withdrawn from the Plan under hardship  conditions approved
     by the Stock Bonus Plan Committee (the "Committee").  

     PLAN ASSETS - All Plan assets are maintained in a trust administered by
     Chemical Bank in 1993 and 1992, as trustee.  The trustee has authority to
     invest trust funds, subject to the provisions of the trust agreement.  

     PLAN INCOME - Plan income or losses are allocated to all participants in
     the ratio that each participant's account bears to the total of all
     participant accounts.

     VESTING - The percentage of the employer matching and profit sharing
     contributions and related income or losses vest with a participant based
     upon the number of years of service with the Company as determined by the
     following table:

                                                               Vested  
           Years of service with the Company                   percentage 
          -----------------------------------                  ----------

          Less than 5 years                                        0%
          At least 5 years                                       100%


     FORFEITURES AND TERMINATIONS - The portion of a participant's matching and
     profit sharing account which is not vested will become a forfeiture in the
     year after the participant receives payment of the vested portion of these
     accounts.  If the participant did not receive a distribution of the vested
     portion of his account, or if the participant was not vested, the
     nonvested portion of the participant's account will be forfeited after the
     participant has had a break in service of five years.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, Continued

          The portion which was forfeited will be reinstated to the
     participant's account if he resumes employment before a break in service
     of five years and if he repays in one sum the amounts which were
     distributed to the participant since he terminated employment.  If the
     participant is reemployed after a break in service of five years, the
     nonvested portion of the participant's account will not be reinstated and
     he will not be able to repay to the Plan the prior distribution.  

          The forfeitures relating to the employer's matching and profit sharing
     portions are allocated to the remaining participants in the same manner as
     the employer's contributions mentioned above.  For the years ended August
     31, 1993 and 1992, the amount of Company-matched forfeitures allocated to
     the remaining participants were $20,738 and $7,080, respectively.  The
     amount of Company profit sharing forfeitures available during fiscal 1993
     was $247 and $242 during fiscal 1992.  These profit-sharing forfeitures
     were used to pay Plan expenses for 1993 and 1992, respectively.

          Upon retirement, death or disability, the account of each participant
     shall be fully vested.

     AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN - The Plan can be amended or
     terminated by the Company at any time.  In the event the employer elects
     to terminate the Plan, the full value of the account of each participant
     shall become fully vested.

     DISTRIBUTIONS - Ordinarily, distributions from the Plan will be in the
     form of Company Stock.  However, distributions of that portion of an
     employee's account attributable to a fractional share will be distributed
     in cash.  An employee may elect to receive a distribution from the Plan in
     cash.  Employees may also elect to have their vested account in Investment
     Fund D distributed in company stock, with any other amounts of the account
     payable in cash.
