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 2001 provision for income
taxes was 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 (loss) per share, giving consideration to, certain shares that
may be issued under the Non-Employee Director's Deferred Compensation
Plan, to the extent dilutive:

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 March 31, 2002,
the Company had $1,700,000 outstanding under the BancFirst facility ($
900,000 at May 7, 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 March 31, 2002).



(4)
NOTE 5: 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 was 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 was 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.

In April 2002, the Company sold the land and building and its interest in
two partnerships for net proceeds of approximately $1.4 million, $800,000
of the proceeds were used to pay down long term debt.

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 March 31, 2002, the Company had negative working capital of
$2,544,387, 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 25% to $3,492,536 for the six months of
fiscal 2002, as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2001, primarily due
to a significant reduction in product prices and increased lease operating
expense and interest expense related to the Wood acquisition.

Capital expenditures for oil and gas activities for the 2002 six month
amounted to $3,865,944, exclusive of $15,229,466 used to acquire Wood Oil
Company, as compared to $4,353,127 for the 2001 quarter. This 11% decrease was
due to the continuing depressed market prices of oil and natural gas causing
operators, which the Company depends on to drill new wells, to either cancel or
postpone drilling many proposed wells. The reduction in capital expenditures is
anticipated to continue through the second six months of fiscal 2002.

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 potential availability of
equity, which could be 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 significantly for the three-month and six-month
periods ended March 31, 2002, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2001.
These decreases were a result of decreased natural gas and oil sales prices
offset somewhat by increased sales volumes of both gas and oil. The chart below
outlines the Company's production and average sales prices for oil and gas for
the three and six-month periods of fiscal 2002 and 2001:

<Table>
<Caption>
BARRELS AVERAGE MCF AVERAGE
SOLD PRICE SOLD PRICE
------- ---------- --------- ----------
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Three months ended 3/31/02 34,092 $ 19.48 967,146 $ 2.09
Three months ended 3/31/01 14,128 $ 27.42 520,854 $ 6.71
Six months ended 3/31/02 66,440 $ 19.73 2,015,794 $ 2.26
Six months ended 3/31/01 33,843 $ 30.03 1,074,641 $ 5.05
</Table>


The increased sales volume of both natural gas and oil was primarily due
to production added from the Wood acquisition properties. For the three and six
month periods of 2002, Wood Oil's production amounted to 19,909 barrels and
421,660 MCF and 36,582 barrels and 834,156 MCF, respectively. The remaining
increase in gas sales volume was due to new wells drilled in fiscal 2001 coming
on line in the first six-months of fiscal 2002.

Lease operating expense (LOE) increased in the 2002 periods as compared
to the 2001 periods as a result of LOE cost on the Wood Oil properties.
Production taxes declined in both the 2002 periods as compared to 2001, as these
taxes are calculated as a percentage of oil and gas sales revenues, which
declined in the 2002 periods.



(6)
Exploration costs declined in the 2002 periods as fewer exploratory wells
have been drilled in 2002, which reduced the chance of an exploratory well being
a dry hole, which under the successful efforts accounting method would be
expensed.

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment (DD&A) increased
272% and 263%, respectively for the three-month and six-month periods. The major
portion of the increase, approximately $1.6 million, was DD&A recognized on the
Wood properties. Wood DD&A is based on the fair value of Wood oil and gas
properties which was assigned in the purchase accounting done at the acquisition
date. In addition, DD&A on properties in the Potato Hills field increased in the
2002 periods as initial production on one costly well in the field was realized
in the second quarter of 2002, and decline in the field's expected reserves
accelerated DD&A recognition during the 2002 periods. In addition, impairment
expense increased $75,000 in the 2002 six-month period as compared to the 2001
period.

General and administrative costs(G&A) increased $105,990 and $280,642 for
the three-month and six-month periods of fiscal 2002 as compared to the same
periods in fiscal 2001. Substantially all of the increase was due to the
addition of G&A charges related to the Wood Oil office in Tulsa, OK. The Wood
office in Tulsa was closed on March 1, 2002 and the remaining three employees
were moved to Panhandle's Oklahoma City office. The Wood Oil building was sold
in April, 2002.

Interest expense in the 2002 periods was a result of the Wood acquisition
which closed on October 1, 2001. The acquisition was funded by a new $20,000,000
five-year bank term loan. The Company had no debt outstanding in the comparable
periods of fiscal 2001.

Earnings were adversely affected by the severe decrease in oil and
natural gas sales prices discussed above, and increased costs associated with
the Wood properties. Natural gas sales prices are recovering and appear to be
stabilizing at higher levels than those seen in the first six months of 2002.
Management currently anticipates this recovery of natural gas prices to continue
through the remainder of fiscal 2002. These increased prices should result in
increased oil and gas sales revenues in the last six months of fiscal 2002, as
compared to the first six months. However, financial results are expected to
remain lower than fiscal 2001, which benefited from oil and gas prices which
were at record levels. The Company's financial results are dependent on these
natural gas and oil prices, which fluctuate widely in response to changing
market conditions.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's results of operations and operating cash flows are impacted
by changes in market prices for oil and gas. Operations and cash flows are also
impacted by changes in the market interest rates related to the revolving credit
facility and the $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.
