                   PARKER DRILLING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
    condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a normally
    recurring nature) which are necessary for a fair presentation of (1) the
    financial position as of November 30, 1994 and August 31, 1994, (2) the
    results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 1994 and
    November 30, 1993, and (3) cash flows for the three months ended November
    30, 1994 and November 30, 1993.  Results for the three months ended
    November 30, 1994, are not necessarily indicative of the results which
    will be realized for the year ending August 31, 1995.  The year-end
    consolidated condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited
    financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by
    generally accepted accounting principles.  The financial statements should
    be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
    August 31, 1994.

    The Company reclassified division office expenses of $1,913,000 and        
    $1,762,000 from general and administrative expense to either drilling or   
    other operating expense for the three months ended November 30, 1994 and   
    1993 respectively.

2.  Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of
    common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. 
    Common shares granted under the 1969 Key Employee Stock Grant Plan, 1980
    Incentive Career Stock Plan and the 1991 Stock Grant Plan are issued and
    outstanding but are not considered in the computation of weighted average
    shares outstanding until the restrictions lapse.  However, they are
    considered common stock equivalents.  

3.  In November 1994 the Company acquired a limited partner's ownership
    interest in two consolidated partnerships, PCA I Limited ("PCA I") and PCA
    II Limited ("PCA II"), in exchange for a promissory note of $1.8 million. 
    Through this transaction the Company acquired all of the limited
    partnership interest in PCA I and the Partnership was dissolved.

    The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. 
    The estimated fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the cost of
    acquisition.  After the net book value of long-term assets acquired was
    written down to zero, negative goodwill of $1.2 million was recorded. 
    This negative goodwill is being amortized on the straight-line basis over
    3 years, which is the remaining estimated useful lives of the assets
    acquired.

    The promissory note is payable in seven equal annual installments
    beginning November 1995, with interest at 5 3/4%.

    In December 1994, the Company acquired the remaining limited partnership
    interest in PCA II and dissolved the partnership.

                       Report of Independent Accountants




To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Parker Drilling Company

   We have reviewed the consolidated condensed balance sheet of Parker
Drilling Company and subsidiaries as of November 30, 1994, and the related
consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three month periods
ended November 30, 1994 and 1993 and consolidated condensed statements of cash
flows for the three month periods ended November 30, 1994 and 1993.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  

   We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. 

   Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to
above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  

   We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, redeemable preferred stock and
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report, dated October 18, 1994, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of August 31, 1994, is fairly stated in all material respects
in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

   The Company's net loss of $1.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal
1995 represented a decline of $2.7 million from fiscal 1994's first quarter
net income of $1.6 million.  The decline was primarily attributable to a
decline in drilling margin and an increase in general and administrative
expense, partially offset by an increase in other income.

   Drilling revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was $32.1 million, a
decline of $7.3 million from the first quarter of fiscal 1994.  International
utilization for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was 53% compared to 61% in
the first quarter of fiscal 1994 and overall utilization declined from 44% to
39%.  (Fiscal 1994 utilization has been adjusted to reflect rigs removed from
the rig fleet at the end of fiscal 1994.)

   Western Hemisphere international drilling revenue in the first quarter of
fiscal 1995 increased $5.1 million over the comparable period of the prior
year.  The increase in revenue was the result of an increase in utilization in
Colombia and an increase in the number of operating rigs in the country of
Argentina.  This increase was partially offset by a decline in utilization in
Ecuador and Peru.
   
   Drilling revenue from operations in Africa, the Middle East and
Commonwealth of Independent States ("CIS") declined a combined $7.1 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1995 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal
1994.  In fiscal 1994 the Company completed one rig contracts in the Congo and
Yemen and both of these rigs have been redeployed to the Argentina market.  In
addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 1994 the Company had two workover
rigs operating in the Russian Republic.  These rigs completed their contracts
in fiscal 1994 and were redeployed to the country of Kazakhstan in the first
quarter of fiscal 1995.

   International drilling revenue from operations in Asia and the Pacific
declined $2.3 million due primarily to a decline in utilization in Papua New
Guinea.  Domestic drilling revenue declined $3.1 million as the Company's
specialized arctic rig did not operate during the first three months of fiscal
1995.  This rig resumed operations again at the beginning of the second
quarter of fiscal 1995.
   
   Drilling margin (drilling revenue less drilling expense) as a percent of
drilling revenue was 23% for the first three months of fiscal 1995 compared to
29% for the same period of fiscal 1994.  The primary reason for the decline is
operations in Argentina where the Company has encountered drilling problems
which have resulted in slower-than-expected drilling progress on some of the
footage rate contracts.  Management continues to take steps to resolve the
drilling problems and improve drilling margins in this country. 

   Depreciation expense increased $.6 million, the result of an increase in
the level of capital expenditures during fiscal 1994.  General and
administrative expense increased $1.0 million due primarily to an increase in
the amortization of deferred compensation and an increase in legal expense. 
Other income (expense) in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 increased $2.8
million as the Company recognized a $1.5 million gain on reversal of a prior
years foreign currency accrual.  In addition, gain on sale of fixed assets
increased $1.1 million over the first quarter of fiscal 1994. Income tax
expense consists primarily of foreign income taxes. 

                                     - 7 -<PAGE>

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

   During the first three months of fiscal 1995, cash generated from
operations and sale of fixed assets were the primary reasons for an increase
of $9.1 million in cash and other short-term investments.  Proceeds from the
sale of fixed assets included $2.9 million from the sale of one domestic and
one international rig.

   Capital expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 totalled $3.2
million.  The Company's capital spending is below fiscal 1994 levels
reflecting a decline in international activity.  Management currently
forecasts capital expenditures for fiscal 1995 to be approximately $14.0 
million.  In the event the Company obtains additional contracts that require
the purchase or construction of new or specialized rigs, or significant
modifications to existing rigs, capital expenditures could increase further. 
Any significant increase in capital expenditures would be subject to any
restrictions imposed on the Company as specified below.

   The Company has a credit agreement with a bank which provides for a $7.5
million revolving credit facility, all of which was available for drawdown as
of November 30, 1994.  The credit agreement, which expires March 1, 1996,
contains restrictions on annual capital expenditures and certain senior and
subordinated indebtedness which can be incurred by Parker Drilling Company and
certain subsidiaries designated in the credit agreement.  These designated
subsidiaries comprise the operating subsidiaries through which the Company
performs the majority of its drilling operations.  The credit facility also
limits payment of dividends on the Company's common stock to the lesser of 40%
of consolidated net income for the preceding year, or $2.6 million.  The
remaining subsidiaries of the Company are not a party to the credit facility
and are able to make capital expenditures and obtain independent financing
from lenders that have no recourse to Parker Drilling Company and the
designated subsidiaries, subject only to an overall limitation of
indebtedness. 

   The restrictions in the credit agreement are not anticipated to restrict
growth or investment opportunities in the foreseeable future.

   In November 1994, the Company acquired a limited partner's ownership
interest in two consolidated partnerships in exchange for a promissory note
totalling $1.8 million.  (See Note 3 of Notes to Unaudited Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements.)  The promissory note is payable in seven
equal annual installments beginning November 1995, with interest at 5 3/4%.

   Management believes that the current level of cash and short-term
investments, together with cash generated from operations, should be
sufficient to meet the company's immediate capital needs.  However, in the
event the Company obtains additional contracts requiring further significant
capital expenditures or acquires equipment or companies in the drilling
service industry, management believes the Company would likely meet both
short-term and long-term capital needs through a combination of cash generated
from operations, borrowings under the bank credit agreement and either equity
or long-term debt financing.
