PANHANDLE ROYALTY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: Accounting Principles and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q as
prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and effective
October 1, 2001, include the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Wood Oil
Company (Wood). Management of Panhandle Royalty Company believes that all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial position and results of operations for the periods have been
included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The
consolidated results are not necessarily indicative of those to be
expected for the full year.

NOTE 2: Income Taxes

The Company utilizes tight gas sands production tax credits to reduce its
federal income tax liability, if any. These credits are scheduled to be
available through the year 2002. The Company's provision for income taxes
in fiscal 2001, is also reflective of excess percentage depletion,
reducing the Company's effective tax rate from the federal statutory
rate.

NOTE 3: Earnings (loss) Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
earnings per share, giving consideration to, certain shares that may be
issued under the Non-Employee Director's Deferred Compensation Plan, to
the extent dilative:

</Table>


NOTE 4: Long-term Debt

The Company has a $5,000,000 line-of-credit with BancFirst in Oklahoma
City, OK. This facility matures on December 31, 2003. At December 31,
2001, the Company had $150,000 outstanding under the BancFirst facility
($1,400,000 at February 12, 2002). In addition, on October 1, 2001, the
Company utilized a $20,000,000 five year term loan from BancFirst to make
the Wood Oil acquisition. Monthly payments on the term loan, which began
in December 2001, are $333,000 plus, accrued interest. The line-of-credit
and term loan bear interest equal to the national prime rate minus 1/4%
(4.5% at December 31, 2001).

NOTE 5: Dividends

On December 18, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved payment
of a $.07 per share dividend, to be paid on March 11, 2002, to
shareholders of record on February 8, 2002.

(4)
NOTE 6: Acquisition of Wood Oil Company

On October 1, 2001, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common
stock of Wood Oil Company (Wood). The acquisition was made pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, PHC, Inc. and Wood Oil
Company, dated August 9, 2001. Wood merged with Panhandle's wholly owned
subsidiary PHC, Inc., on October 1, 2001, with Wood being the surviving
Company. Prior to the acquisition, Wood was a privately held company
engaged in oil and gas exploration and production and fee mineral
ownership and owned interests in certain oil and gas and real estate
partnerships and owned an office building in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Wood will
continue to operate as a subsidiary of Panhandle and will be moved to
Oklahoma City in early 2002. Wood and its shareholders were unrelated
parties to Panhandle.

The Company's decision to acquire Wood was the result of desired growth
in the Company's asset base of producing oil and gas reserves and fee
mineral acreage. Wood's oil and gas activity, fee minerals and operating
philosophy in general had been very similar to the Company's.

Wood's mineral acreage ownership and leasehold position as well as its
producing oil and gas properties are located in the same general areas as
the Company's. In several cases, both companies own interests in existing
producing wells and several developing fields. The Company intends to
actively pursue drilling opportunities on Wood's properties.

The combination of the companies will provide reduced overhead expenses
as the Wood Oil office will be combined with the Company's. This
acquisition should considerably enhance the medium to long term growth of
the Company and is expected to generally be accretive to earnings and
cash flow per share.

Funding for the acquisition was obtained from BankFirst of Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma in the form of a $20 million five- year term loan. Three million
of Wood's cash was used to reduce Panhandle's debt on the date of
closing.

The operations of Wood, since October 1, 2001, are included in the
accompanying financial statements.

The preliminary purchase price was determined as follows, cash
consideration to Wood shareholders $22,604,000 and transaction costs of
$244,000, for a total of $22,848,000.

The following table sets forth the preliminary allocation of the purchase
price to the assets and liabilities acquired (in thousands.) The Company
is in process of determining the final tax basis of the properties
acquired, thus, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to
refinement. No goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

The following unaudited proforma results of operations give effect to the
acquisition as if consummated on October 1, 2000. The data reflects
adjustments of the historical Wood results for depreciation and
amortization of the property and equipment acquired, adjustments of
expenses resulting from contractual requirements of the acquisition
agreement, incremental interest expense relating to bank borrowing used
to finance the purchase and income taxes. The pro forma adjustments are
based upon available information and assumptions that management of the
Company believes are reasonable. The pro forma results of operations data
does not purport to represent the results of operations that would have
occurred had such transaction been consummated on October 1, 2000 or the
Company's results of operation for any future date or period.

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


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

Forward-Looking Statements for 2002 and later periods are made in this
document. Such statements represent estimates of management based on the
Company's historical operating trends, its proved oil and gas reserves and other
information currently available to management. The Company cautions that the
forward-looking statements provided

herein are subject to all the risks and uncertainties incident to the
acquisition, development and marketing of, and exploration for oil and gas
reserves. These risks include, but are not limited to, oil and natural gas price
risk, environmental risks, drilling risk, reserve quantity risk and operations
and production risk. For all the above reasons, actual results may vary
materially from the forward-looking statements and there is no assurance that
the assumptions used are necessarily the most likely to occur.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2001, the Company had negative working capital of
$2,785,230, as compared to positive working capital of $1,044,334 at September
30, 2001. The decrease is a result of $3,996,000 being recorded as the current
portion of the $20,000,000 term loan used to fund the acquisition of Wood Oil
Company ("Wood Acquisition") on October 1, 2001. Monthly payments on the term
loan of $333,000, plus, accrued interest began on December 1, 2001. Cash flow
from operating activities decreased 21% to $2,043,977 for the first quarter of
fiscal 2002, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2001, primarily due to a
significant reduction in product prices.

Capital expenditures for oil and gas activities for the 2002 quarter
amounted to $2,367,53, exclusive of $15,229,466 used to acquire Wood Oil
Company, as compared to $2,187,125 for the 2001 quarter. This 8% increase was
due to capital expenditures for oil and gas activities on the newly acquired
Wood Oil properties. The Company currently expects capital expenditures to be
substantially less for the remaining three quarters of fiscal 2002 as compared
to the last three quarters of fiscal 2001. The continuing depressed market
prices of oil and natural gas are causing operators, which the Company depends
on to drill new wells, to either cancel or postpone drilling many proposed
wells. As market prices are not currently expected to increase significantly
over the remainder of fiscal 2002, a continuing reduction in capital
expenditures is anticipated until prices increase significantly.

The Company has historically funded its capital expenditures, overhead
expenditures and dividend payments from operating cash flow. With the addition
of the monthly payments required on the term loan, the Company has utilized the
$5,000,000 line-of-credit, as needed, to help fund these expenditures.
Management expects to borrow additional funds under the line-of-credit during
the remainder of fiscal 2002. The Company has the availability of equity, which
could be

(6)
offered in a public or private placement, if additional capital were needed for
capital expenditures, or for debt reduction, or a combination of uses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues decreased 4% for the quarter ended December 31, 2001,
as compared to the same quarter ended December 31, 2000. This decrease is a
function of substantially reduced average sales prices for both oil and natural
gas offset by the addition of oil and gas sales revenues added in the 2002
quarter from the Wood acquisition. The chart below outlines the Company's
production and average sales prices of crude oil and natural gas for the three
month periods ended December 31, 2001 and 2000:

<Table>
<Caption>
BARRELS AVERAGE MCF AVERAGE
SOLD PRICE SOLD PRICE
------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Three months ended 12/31/01 34,149 $ 18.68 1,048,648 $ 2.41
Three months ended 12/31/00 19,715 $ 31.91 553,787 $ 5.04
</Table>

The increased sales volume of both natural gas and oil was primarily due
to production added from the Wood acquisition properties. The remaining increase
in gas sales volume was due to new wells drilled in fiscal 2001 coming on line
in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

Costs and expenses increased $1,870,887 or 120% for the 2002 quarter as
compared to the 2001 quarter. The majority of the increase, 74%, was related to
expenses of Wood Oil Company. Depreciation, depletion, amortization and
impairment (DD&A) increased $1,179,640 in the 2002 quarter, with $836,408 of
that being DD&A on Wood properties. Wood DD&A is based on the fair value of Wood
oil and gas properties assigned in the purchase accounting done at the
acquisition date. In addition, units of production DD&A on Panhandle's existing
properties, was higher than the 2001 quarter as production volumes on these
properties were increased in the 2002 quarter and as a result of certain
downward reserve revisions at September 30, 2001, due to lower product prices.

Lease operating costs and production taxes (LOE) increased $424,272, in
the 2002 quarter. This increase was due to LOE costs on the Wood properties of
$441,884 being added in the 2002 quarter.

Exploration costs were significantly lower in the 2002 quarter due to a
reduced number of exploratory wells being drilled in this quarter. This reduced
the chance of an exploratory well being a dry hole, which under the successful
efforts accounting method are expensed.

General and administrative costs increased $174,652 in the first quarter
of fiscal as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2001. $108,760 of the
increase was due to the addition of general and administrative changes related
to the Wood Oil office in Tulsa, OK. The remainder of the increase was due to
personnel related costs for Panhandle. The Wood office in Tulsa, will be moved
to Oklahoma City in the second fiscal quarter and combined with Panhandle's
existing office.

Interest expense in the first quarter of 2002 was primarily related to
the Wood acquisition that closed October 1, 2001 and was funded with a new
$20,000,000 five-year term loan. The Company had no debt outstanding in the
comparable period of fiscal 2001.

Earnings were adversely affected by the decrease in oil and natural gas
sales prices discussed above. Management currently expects these depressed
prices to continue through fiscal 2002, thus, earnings will continue to be
substantially lower than fiscal 2001 levels. Fiscal 2001 benefited from oil and
gas prices which were at record levels.

As the Company produces and sells natural gas and crude oil, the
Company's financial results can and will continue to be significantly affected
as these commodity prices fluctuate widely in response to changing market
conditions.

QUANITITIVE AND QUALITIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our results of operations and operating cash flows are impacted by
changes in market prices for oil and gas. Our operations and cash flows
are also impacted by changes in the market interest rates related to our
revolving credit facility and our $20 million five-year term loan, both
bearing interest at an annual variable interest rate equal to the
national prime rate minus 1/4%. A one percent change in the prime
interest rate would result in approximately a $200,000 change in annual
interest expense.
