              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.     The consolidated results presented for the three-month and nine-month
       periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are unaudited, but management of
       Panhandle Royalty Company believes that all adjustments necessary for a
       fair presentation of the consolidated 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.

2.     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
       is also reflective of excess percentage depletion, reducing the Company's
       effective tax rate from the federal statutory rate.

3.     The Company's diluted earnings per share calculation takes into account
       certain shares that may be issued under the Non-Employee Director's
       Deferred Compensation Plan. The following table sets forth the
       computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

4.     The Company has a $5,000,000 line of credit with BancFirst in Oklahoma
       City, OK. This facility matures on December 31, 2002. At June 30, 2001,
       the Company had no balance outstanding under the BancFirst facility.

5.     Approximately 72% of the Company's share of gas produced from the Potato
       Hills Field is currently being sold under a fixed price contract by the
       operator of the wells. A contract price of $2.68 per MMBTU was fixed
       until October 31, 2000. Effective November 1, 2000, several different
       contracts were in place through March 2001, which had a floor price of
       approximately $3.69 and a ceiling price of approximately $8.40 per MMBTU.
       For the period from April through September 2001, contracts provide for
       an average floor price of $4.97 and an average ceiling price of $5.84 per
       MMBTU. For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2001, these contracts
       reduced gas revenues approximately $147,000.

6.     On August 9, 2001, the Company signed an agreement and plan of merger to
       acquire privately held Wood Oil Company of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Wood Oil,
       subsequent to the merger will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
       Panhandle. The purchase price of $25,000,000 (which will include
       approximately $4.5 million of net working capital) is subject to
       pre-closing adjustments. Closing is expected to be on October 1, 2001.
       The Company will finance the acquisition with bank debt, a portion of
       which will be immediately retired with Wood Oil cash. A new $20,000,000
       term loan agreement with BancFirst will be utilized. The initial term of
       the facility will be five years with the existing $5,000,000
       line-of-credit remaining in place.

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


       FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

       Forward-Looking Statements for 2001 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 June 30, 2001, the Company had positive working capital of $1,190,266,
as compared to $1,712, 806 at September 30, 2000. Cash flow from operating
activities increased 119% to $7,525,369, for the 2001 nine-month period as
compared to the fiscal 2000 nine-month period. This increase was primarily a
result of increased oil and gas sales revenues during the 2001 nine-month
period, which is discussed in detail in Results of Operations.

       Capital expenditures for oil and gas activities for the first nine-months
of fiscal 2001 amounted to $7,008,126 compared to $2,891,956 in the first
nine-months of fiscal 2000. This increased level of expenditures was the result
of significantly increased market prices for natural gas and oil in fiscal 2001,
causing a large increase in the number of new wells being drilled. As the
Company relies on third parties to operate all drilling and producing wells, the
level of and timing of capital expenditures is influenced heavily by market
conditions for natural gas and oil. Current expectations are that this increased
level of capital expenditures will continue for the remainder of fiscal 2001 and
into fiscal 2002. Remaining projected costs, at June 30, 2001, for wells
proposed or actually drilling, were approximately $5,058,000. The Company has
historically funded drilling and other capital expenditures, overhead costs and
dividend payments from operating cash flow. Management anticipates there will be
sufficient funds available from projected cash flow and the line-of- credit, if
needed, to meet all expected operating costs and capital obligations.

       On August 9, 2001, the Company signed an agreement and plan of merger to
acquire privately held Wood Oil Company of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Wood Oil, subsequent
to the merger will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Panhandle. The purchase
price of $25,000,000 (which will include approximately $4.5 million of net
working capital) is subject to pre-closing adjustments. Closing is expected to
be on October 1, 2001. The Company will finance the acquisition with bank debt,
a portion of which will be immediately retired with Wood Oil cash. A new
$20,000,000 term loan agreement with BancFirst will be utilized. The initial
term of the facility will be five years with the existing $5,000,000
line-of-credit remaining in place.


       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       Revenues increased significantly for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2000.
These increases were a result of increased gas and oil sales prices offset
somewhat by decreased 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 nine-month periods of fiscal 2001 and 2000.



                                BARRELS      AVERAGE        MCF        AVERAGE

                               ---------     -------     ---------     -------
                                                           
Three months ended 6/30/01        15,886     $29.93        517,081     $4.65
Three months ended 6/30/00        20,795     $26.86        550,406     $3.30
Nine months ended 6/30/01         49,729     $30.00      1,591,722     $5.46
Nine months ended 6/30/00         54,973     $26.05      1,751,628     $2.70





        As shown in the above chart, gas sales prices increased for both the
three-month and nine-month periods of



                                       (5)

fiscal 2001 and oil prices increased, but at a much smaller percentage. Sales
volumes of gas decreased for both the three-month and nine-month periods of
fiscal 2001, as compared to the fiscal 2000 periods. These decreases are the
result of normal production decline in the Company's wells, and specifically a
decline in the Potato Hills Field production in the 2001 periods as compared to
the 2000 periods which reflected significant initial production. In addition,
due to the substantial increase in drilling activity in this fiscal year, and
the resulting manpower and equipment shortages, the completion and placing on
production of new wells drilled is slow. Thus, new production is not currently
coming on line at a pace fast enough to overcome the decline of older wells. Gas
prices are expected to decline to around the $3.00 to $3.50 level during the
remaining summer months of fiscal 2001, with oil prices remaining in the mid $20
range. The Company's oil and gas sales revenues for the fourth quarter are
expected to be comparable to somewhat less than the third quarter of fiscal
2001, unless, substantial new wells are placed on production.

        Costs and expenses increased 34% and 29% respectively, for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same
periods of fiscal 2000. These increases were mainly the result of increased
production taxes, increased lease operating expenses, increased exploration
costs and increased general and administrative costs. Production taxes are
calculated as a percentage of oil and gas sales, thus, these costs increased
with the increased oil and gas sales revenues in the 2001 periods. As the
Company has been participating in the drilling of an ever increasing number of
wells during the last several years, lease operating expenses increase steadily
as these new wells are placed on production. In the third fiscal quarter of
2001, the Company paid an investment banking firm $150,000 to provide a
valuation of the Company, strategic planning and other advice causing general
and administrative costs to increase substantially as compared to the fiscal
2000 quarter. The nine-month 2001 period general and administrative expenses
also included an $123,000 charge related to the Non-Employee Director's Deferred
Compensation Plan reflecting the Company's share price increase from $14.00 per
share to $19.00 per share. This increase in share price caused recognition of a
current period expense based on shares that could currently be issued under the
terms of the Plan since the Non-Employee director's elected to receive these
potential shares, rather than a cash payment for their director's fees. In
addition, personnel related expenses (including salaries, insurance costs,
payroll taxes and ESOP expenses) and legal costs increased in the fiscal 2001
periods as compared to the 2000 periods. Exploration costs increased in both
2001 periods as the Company is participating in more exploratory wells in fiscal
2001 than ever before. Dry hole costs resulting from the drilling of
non-productive exploratory wells increased exploration costs in the 2001
periods. As the Company has increased its drilling activity, the risk and
incurrence of future dry hole costs will continue.

        The Company's provision for income taxes increased substantially in the
2001 nine-month period due to an increase in income before taxes, as discussed
above. The provision for income taxes differs from the statutory rate due to
benefits from tight gas sands production tax credits and percentage depletion.

        Earnings benefited from the significant increase in oil and gas sales
revenues as explained above. It currently appears earnings for the remainder of
fiscal 2001, will benefit, though to a lesser extent than the first nine months,
from the escalated market prices for gas and oil in fiscal 2001, as compared to
fiscal 2000 prices. However, should additional exploratory drilling projects
result in non-productive wells, thus increasing exploration costs, or the market
price of gas or oil decline below the currently expected levels, earnings would
be negatively impacted.
