NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General - 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 September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
(2) the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2002 and 2001, and (3) cash flows for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 and 2001. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 are
not necessarily indicative of the results, which will be realized for the
year ending December 31, 2002. The financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2001.
Our independent accountants have performed a review of these interim
financial statements in accordance with standards established by the

under the Securities Act of 1933, their report of that review should not be
considered a report within the meaning of Section 7 and 11 of that Act, and
the independent accountants liability under Section 11 does not extend to
it.

2. Earnings Per Share (continued) -
The Company has outstanding $124,509,000 of 5.5% Convertible Subordinated
Notes which are convertible into 8,090,254 shares of common stock at $15.39
per share. The notes have been outstanding since their issuance in July
1997 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the
assumed conversion of the notes would have had an anti-dilutive effect on
EPS. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, options to
purchase 9,888,561 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $2.24 to
$12.1875, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted
EPS because the assumed exercise of the options would have had an
anti-dilutive effect on EPS due to the net loss incurred during the
periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 options to
purchase 6,691,000 and 4,714,000 shares, respectively, of common stock at
prices ranging from $4.50 to $12.1875 and from $5.9375 to $12.1875,
respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of
diluted EPS because the assumed exercise of the options would have had an
anti-dilutive effect on EPS during the respective periods.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
4. Construction Contract - The Company has historically only constructed
drilling rigs for its own use. At the request of one of its significant
customers, the Company entered into a contract to design, construct,
mobilize and sell ("construction contract") a specialized drilling rig to
drill extended reach wells to offshore targets from a land-based location
on Sakhalin Island, Russia for an international consortium of oil and gas
companies. The Company also entered into a contract to operate the rig on
behalf of the consortium. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP")
requires that revenues received and costs incurred related to the
construction contract should be accounted for and reported on a gross basis
and income for the related fees should be recognized on a percentage of
completion basis. Because this construction contract is not a part of the
Company's historical or normal operations, the revenues and costs related
to this contract have been shown as a separate component in the statement
of operations. Construction costs in excess of funds received from the
customer are accumulated and reported as part of other current assets. At
September 30, 2002, a net receivable of $27.2 million (construction costs
less progress payments) is included in other current assets. In October
2002, the Company received a $22.0 million progress payment related to this
receivable.
5. Goodwill - Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." In accordance with this accounting principle, goodwill
is no longer amortized but will be assessed for impairment on at least an
annual basis.
As an initial step in the implementation process, the Company identified
four reporting units that would be tested for impairment. The four units
qualify as reporting units in that they are one level below an operating
segment, or an individual operating segment and discrete financial
information exists for each unit. The four reporting units identified by
segment are as follows:
U.S. drilling segment: Barge rigs
Jackup and Platform rigs (1)
International drilling segment: Nigeria barge rigs
Rental tools segment: Rental tools business
(1) The jackup and platform rigs were aggregated due to the similarities in
the markets served.
As required under the transitional accounting provisions of SFAS No. 142,
the Company completed both steps required to identify and measure goodwill
impairment at each reporting unit. The first step involved identifying all
reporting units with carrying values (including goodwill) in excess of fair
value, which was estimated by an independent business valuation consultant
using the present value of estimated future cash flows. The reporting units
for which carrying value exceeded fair value were then measured for
impairment by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit
goodwill, determined in the same manner as in a business combination, with
the carrying amount of goodwill. The jackup and platform rigs reporting
unit was the only unit where impairment was identified. As a result,
goodwill related to the jackup and platform rigs was impaired by $73.1
million and was recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle retroactive to the first quarter. The Company will perform its
annual impairment review during the fourth quarter of each year, commencing
in the fourth quarter of 2002.

============= =============
(1) Certain goodwill amounts are non-deductible for tax purposes;
therefore, the income tax impact reflects only the deductible goodwill
amortization.
6. Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company is exposed to interest rate
risk from its fixed-rate debt. The Company has hedged against a portion of
the risk of changes in fair value associated with its $214.2 million 9.75%
Senior Notes by entering into three fixed-to-variable interest rate swap
agreements with a total notional amount of $150.0 million. The Company
assumes no ineffectiveness as each interest rate swap meets the short-cut
method requirements under SFAS No. 133 for fair value hedges of debt
instruments. As a result, changes in the fair value of the interest rate
swaps are offset by changes in the fair value of the debt and no net gain
or loss is recognized in earnings. During the nine month period ended
September 30, 2002, the interest rate swap reduced interest expense by $2.4
million.
On July 24, 2002, the Company terminated all the interest rate swap
agreements and received $3.5 million. A gain totaling $2.6 million will be
recognized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term
(ending November 2006) of the debt instrument.

7. Exchange Offer - On May 2, 2002, the Company announced it had successfully
completed the exchange of $235.6 million in principal amount of new 10.125%
Senior Notes due 2009 ("New Notes") for a like amount of its 9.75% Senior
Notes due 2006 ("Outstanding Notes"), pursuant to an exchange offer
described in the Offering Circular dated April 1, 2002 (the "Exchange
Offer"). The consummation of the Exchange Offer was effected without
registration, in reliance on the registration exemption provided by Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which applies to offers and
sales of securities that do not involve a public offering, and Regulation D
promulgated under that act. The Exchange Offer was made to a limited number
of existing holders of the Outstanding Notes that were institutional
accredited investors. The Company relied on representations from such
institutional accredited investors that the New Notes were acquired for
investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. On July 1,
2002, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 offering to
exchange the New Notes for notes of the Company having substantially
identical terms in all material respects as the New Notes (the "Exchange
Notes"). The offer to exchange the New Notes for Exchange Notes was
consummated on September 17, 2002. The New Notes and Exchange Notes will be
governed by the terms of the indenture executed by the Company, the
Subsidiary Guarantors and the trustee dated May 2, 2002, the terms of which
are substantially the same as the terms of the 1998 Indenture, as amended
by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, as described below.
In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company solicited consents to
certain amendments to the definitions and covenants in the indenture under
which the Outstanding Notes were issued, which all participants in the
Exchange Offer were deemed to have accepted. As a result of the
participation in the Exchange Offer of more than 50% of the holders of the
Outstanding Notes, the amendments to the 1998 Indenture were agreed, and
which amendments have been effected by the execution of the Fourth
Supplemental Indenture by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the
trustee (as amended, the "1998 Indenture"). As a result of the Exchange
Offer, the Company incurred fees of approximately $3.6 million, which were
expensed in the second quarter of 2002.
8. Contingency - On July 6, 2001, the Ministry of State Revenues of Kazakhstan
("MSR") issued an Act of Audit to the Kazakhstan branch ("PKD Kazakhstan")
of Parker Drilling Company International Limited ("PDCIL"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, assessing additional taxes of approximately
$29.0 million for the years 1998-2000. The assessment consisted primarily
of adjustments in corporate income tax based on a determination by the
Kazakhstan tax authorities that payments by Offshore Kazakhstan
International Operating Company, ("OKIOC"), to PDCIL of $99.0 million, in
reimbursement of costs for modifications to Rig 257, performed by PDCIL
prior to the importation of the drilling rig into Kazakhstan, are income to
PKD Kazakhstan, and therefore, taxable to PKD Kazakhstan. PKD Kazakhstan
filed an Act of Non-Agreement that such reimbursements should not be
taxable and requested that the Act of Audit be revised accordingly. In
November 2001, the MSR rejected PKD Kazakhstan's Act of Non-Agreement,
prompting PKD Kazakhstan to seek judicial review of the assessment. On
December 28, 2001, the Astana City Court issued a judgment in favor of PKD
Kazakhstan, finding that the reimbursements to PDCIL were not income to PKD
Kazakhstan and not otherwise subject to tax based on the U.S.-Kazakhstan
Tax Treaty. The MSR appealed the decision of the Astana City Court to the
Supreme Court, which confirmed the decision of the Astana City Court that
the reimbursements were not income to PKD Kazakhstan in March 2002.
Although the court agreed with the MSR's position on certain minor issues,
no additional taxes will be payable as a result of this assessment. The MSR
has until March 2003 to appeal this decision to a special panel of the
Supreme Court of Kazakhstan.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2001, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations," which requires the capitalization and accrual of
the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the
period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can
be made. SFAS No. 143 will be effective January 2003. The Company does not
believe the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will have a material impact on its
financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 and
amends Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 30 for the accounting and
reporting for discontinued operations as it relates to long-lived assets.
SFAS No. 144 became effective January 2002. The Company has adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 144 and there was no resulting impact on its
financial position or results of operations.
In April 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 145 "Rescission of FASB Statements SFAS
No. 4, SFAS No. 44, and SFAS No. 64, Amendment of FASB Statement SFAS No.
13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 is effective for the fiscal
years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company has not yet adopted SFAS
No. 145 nor has it determined the effect of the adoption on the financial
position or results of operations.
In July 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or
disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company has no
such activities, thus the Company does not believe the impact of adoption
of SFAS No. 146 will be material.
10. Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Consolidating Condensed Financial Statements - All
of the Company's Senior Notes are guaranteed by substantially all
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parker Drilling Company ("PDC"). There are
currently no restrictions on the ability of the subsidiaries to transfer
funds to PDC in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. PDC is a
holding company with no operations, other than through its subsidiaries.
The non-guarantors were inconsequential, individually and in the aggregate,
to the consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements
of the guarantors were not presented because management had determined that
they would not be material to investors.
In August, 2002, Parker Drilling Company International Limited ("PDCIL")
entered into an agreement to sell two of its rigs in Kazakhstan to
AralParker, a Kazakhstan joint venture company owned 50% by PDCIL and 50%
by a Kazakhstan company. Because PDCIL has significant influence over the
business affairs of AralParker, its financial statements will be
consolidated with those of the Company.
AralParker, Casuarina Limited (a wholly-owned captive insurance company)
and Parker Drilling Investment Company are all non-guarantor subsidiaries
whose aggregate financial position and results of operations are no longer
deemed to be inconsequential and, accordingly the Company is setting forth
below consolidating condensed financial information of the parent (PDC),
the guarantor subsidiaries, and the non-guarantor subsidiaries as of
September 30 ,2002 and for the three and nine months then ended.

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 September 30, 2002 and the related
consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and the consolidated condensed
statement of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and
2001. 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 consolidated condensed financial statements referred
to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report, dated January 29, 2002, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance
sheet as of December 31, 2001, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
This Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These
statements may be made in this document, or may be "incorporated by reference,"
which means the statements are contained in other documents filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All statements included in this
document, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities,
events or developments that the Company expects, projects, believes or
anticipates will or may occur in the future are "forward-looking statements,"
including without limitation:
*future operating results,
*future rig utilization, dayrates and rental tools activity,
*future capital expenditures and investments in the acquisition and
refurbishment of rigs and equipment,
*repayment of debt,
*maintenance of the Company's revolver borrowing base, and
*expansion and growth of operations.
Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and
analyses made by the management of the Company in light of their experience and
perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future
developments and other factors it believes are relevant. Although management of
the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable based on current
information available, they are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many
of which are outside the control of the Company. These risks and uncertainties
include:
*worldwide economic and business conditions that adversely affect
market conditions and/or the cost of doing business,
*the strength in the U.S. economy and the demand for natural gas,
*fluctuations in the market prices of oil and gas,
*imposition of unanticipated trade restrictions and political
instability,
*operating hazards and uninsured risks,
*new or changes in governmental regulations that adversely affect the
cost of doing business,
*adverse environmental events,
*adverse weather conditions,
*changes in concentration of customer and supplier relationships,
*unexpected cost increases for upgrade and refurbishment projects,
*changes in competition, and
*other similar factors (some of which are discussed in documents
referred to in this Form 10-Q).
Because the forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties, the actual results of operations and actions taken by the Company
may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. These risks and uncertainties are referenced in connection with
forward-looking statements that are included from time to time in this document.
Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Form 10-Q, and
the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statement.

INTRODUCTION AND OUTLOOK
The $8.0 million loss incurred for the three months ended September 30,
2002, reflects a $3.5 million improvement as compared to the $11.5 million loss
incurred during the second quarter of 2002. Gross margins improved in all
drilling segments, most notably in our U.S. offshore market, due primarily to
implementation of cost reduction measures, as dayrates were relatively
unchanged. The improvement during the third quarter in our Gulf Coast market is
primarily attributed to near 100% utilization for both the jackup rigs and the
deep drilling barges. Further improvements in results of operations for this
market were hindered by low utilization from our workover and intermediate barge
rigs and platform rigs. Overall, utilization for our jackup rigs and domestic
barge rigs during the third quarter of 2002 averaged 97% and 54%, respectively,
as compared to 78% and 50% for the second quarter of 2002.
Third quarter revenues in the international segment remained unchanged
as compared to the second quarter of 2002, as international land rigs
utilization continues to be negatively impacted by the release of four rigs in
Colombia and one rig in Kazakhstan during the second quarter. In addition,
although the two Nigerian barge rigs which were idle for a substantial portion
of the second quarter due to ABS inspection and repairs have completed such
repairs, only one received revenue during the third quarter. Though revenues
remained unchanged gross margins increased approximately $4.0 million due
primarily to reduced costs throughout the international segment.
We anticipate that overall utilization and revenues for the fourth
quarter of 2002 should approximate the third quarter. U.S. offshore revenues are
expected to increase, albeit at a slow pace, partially offset by reduced
revenues in the international segment. This reduction is the result of certain
rigs in New Zealand and Indonesia completing their drilling programs during the
third quarter with new contracts beginning in 2003. In addition, only one of the
two Nigerian barge rigs that were idle during the second quarter for ABS
inspections and repairs is now under contract, having signed a one year
extension. This rig has been placed on a reduced standby or "hot stack" rate
through the end of 2002, at which time the customer has the option to resume
drilling operations, continue the "hot stack" rate or terminate the contract.
Based on the current business outlook, we have updated our guidance regarding
the anticipated range for revenues and losses for the year 2002. We now
anticipate that revenues for the year will range from $390 to $400 million.
Based on these revised estimates of 2002 revenues, we are now anticipating a
loss in the range of $40 million plus or minus 5%, or a loss per share of $0.41
to $0.45. before the change in accounting principle, and approximately $111
million to $115 million or $1.19 to $1.24 per share after the cumulative effect
of the change in accounting principle for 2002 (see Note 5 of the Notes to
Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).
The Company's domestic contracts are usually well to well contracts.
Although it is common for international contracts to have multi-year terms, in
most cases this will not preclude the customer from terminating the contract
without cause prior to the scheduled termination date. When a customer exercises
its contractual right to terminate a contract without cause before the end of
the stated term, the contract may require the payment of an early termination
fee based on the Company's investment in the project. In addition, the customer
may have the obligation to pay a demobilization fee to return the rig to its
point of origin.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Our drilling operations in Kazakhstan are a significant part of our
current international operations and our strategic growth for the future. Since
1993, our operations in Kazakhstan have grown from providing labor to our
principal customer to owning and managing 11 drilling rigs for several
operators. In the last few years, the government of Kazakhstan has requested
that vendors incorporate local content into their operations to stimulate the
development of a local oil and gas service industry and the Kazakhstan economy.
In order to take advantage of the significant growth potential and remain a
preferred vendor of the principal operators in Kazakhstan, it was advantageous
for us to partner with a local company. In June 2002, Parker Drilling Company
International Limited (PDCIL) entered into an agreement to sell two of its rigs
in Kazakhstan to AralParker, a Kazakhstan joint venture company owned 50% by a
Parker subsidiary and 50% by a Kazakhstan company, Aralnedra CJSC. The purchase
price of the rigs was $42.7 million, which represents the fair market value
according to an appraisal by an independent third party appraiser. The purchase
of the rigs is being financed by Parker Drilling Company over a five-year period
and is collateralized by a lien on the rigs and an assignment of the five-year
drilling contract and its proceeds. The transaction closed on August 15, 2002.
In addition, PDCIL will lease a third rig to AralParker, and will provide
management and technical services to the joint venture company. In light of the
Company's significant influence over the business affairs of AralParker, its
financial statements will be consolidated with the Company's financial
statements in accordance with GAAP. Although Aralnedra will effectively own 50%
of the two rigs, PDCIL will continue to receive approximately 90% of the cash
flow generated by the current five-year drilling contract through the proceeds
of repayment of the loan and the management and technical services contract.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared with Three Months Ended
September 30, 2001
The Company recorded a net loss of $8.0 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 compared to net income of $3.0 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2001. The net loss in the third quarter of 2002 is
reflective of low utilization and dayrates in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico drilling
operations, reduced rental tool revenues and reduced revenues in the
international offshore operations when compared to the third quarter of 2001.

========== ===== ========== =====
The Company's drilling and rental revenues decreased $28.8 million to
$100.1 million in the current quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2001.
U.S. drilling revenues decreased $21.0 million due to lower dayrates and
utilization in the Company's Gulf of Mexico drilling operations. Total U.S.
barge rig revenues decreased $10.9 million in the current quarter, as a result
of a 27% decrease in utilization as compared to the third quarter of 2001.
Jackup rig revenues decreased $6.6 million in the current quarter as compared to
the third quarter of 2001 due to a 47% decrease in dayrates, which was partially
offset by an increase in average utilization. The jackup rigs current quarter
average utilization was 97% compared to 81% for the third quarter of 2001. The
platform rigs did not work during the third quarter of 2002 as compared to
revenues of $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
International drilling revenues decreased $0.8 million to $56.3 million
in the current quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2001. International
land drilling revenues increased $2.1 million while international offshore
drilling revenues decreased $2.9 million. Primarily responsible for the
improvement in international land drilling revenues was increased dayrates in
the CIS region that includes Kazakhstan and Russia, resulting in additional
revenues of $1.7 million. Higher rates were partially offset by one rig being
stacked in the Karachaganak field during the second quarter. Land drilling
revenues increased $1.7 million in the Asia Pacific region primarily due to
increased utilization in New Zealand and Indonesia. During the third quarter of
2002 one additional rig worked in both New Zealand and Indonesia as compared to
the prior year's third quarter. Revenues declined $1.7 million in Latin America
due primarily to a sharp decline in activity in both Bolivia and Colombia. As
previously noted a customer in Colombia released four rigs resulting in a $5.6
million decrease in revenues, which was partially offset by new contracts in
2002 in Ecuador and Peru. The Ecuador drilling contract was completed at the end
of the third quarter.
The decrease of $2.9 million in international offshore drilling
revenues was due primarily to Nigerian operations. Two of the four barge rigs in
Nigeria were idle for a substantial portion of the second quarter due to ABS
inspection and repairs. Upon completion of the inspection and repairs one barge
rig went back to work for the entire third quarter, but the contract for the
second barge rig was not renewed and did not work during the third quarter.
Currently both barge rigs are stacked with one rig on a reduced "hot stack"
rate. The customer has postponed some drilling activities until 2003 due to 2002
budgetary issues. We are cautiously optimistic that both barge rigs will go back
to work during 2003. The remaining two barge rigs in Nigeria worked throughout
2002 and are expected to operate through 2003.
Rental tool revenues decreased $7.0 million as Quail Tools reported
revenues in the current quarter of $11.8 million. Quail Tools continued to be
negatively impacted by the reduced activity in the U.S. drilling markets.
Revenues decreased $4.0 million from the New Iberia, Louisiana operations, $1.9
million from the Victoria, Texas operations and $1.5 from the Odessa, Texas
operations. The Evanston, Wyoming operations opened during the second quarter of
2002 and contributed revenues of $0.4 million.
