NOTE A - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such
  information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
  necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results
  of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods. All such adjustments
  are of a normal, recurring nature. The financial statements in Deltic's 1996
  Annual Report on Form 10-K include a summary of significant accounting
  policies of the Company and should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q.
  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with 1997
  presentation format.


NOTE B - NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

  This amount is computed by dividing net income for each period by the weighted
  average number of Common shares outstanding during the period. For 1996, this
  amount is presented on a pro forma basis and is calculated based on the number
  of shares issued in connection with the spin-off. The effects of assuming
  issuance of Common Stock for outstanding stock options were immaterial and do
  not impact the amounts presented.



NOTE C - INVENTORIES

  Inventories consisted of the following at the balance sheet dates:

NOTE F - IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
  Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per Share."
  SFAS 128 establishes the requirements for the computation of basic earnings
  per share and dilutive earnings per share and is effective for financial
  statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The effect of
  adoption of SFAS 128 is not expected to materially impact the Company's
  earnings per share.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net income for the first quarter of 1997 was $4.9 million, $.38 a share, an
increase of 54 percent when compared to first quarter of 1996 net income of $3.2
million ($.25 a share on a pro forma basis). Net cash provided by operating
activities was $8.7 million, an increase of $5.4 million from a year ago.

     In the current quarter, operating income increased $3.5 million. The Forest
Products segment increased $2.7 million due primarily to a 28-percent increase
in finished lumber sales price and an 18-percent increase in the average price
for pine sawtimber sold. Real Estate operations increased $.9 million as a
result of an increase in average sales price for residential lots and the sale
of a 13-acre commercial tract. Agriculture segment results increased $.5 million
over the first quarter of 1996 due primarily to the timing of product sales. The
cost of corporate functions increased $.6 million from a year ago.

     Forest Products segment generated net sales of $20.7 million in the current
quarter compared to $17.8 million a year ago. Sales of pine sawtimber increased
$1 million as the result of a $63 per thousand board feet Doyle scale ("MBF-DS")
increase in average sales price to $407 per MBF-DS with virtually unchanged pine
sawtimber harvest levels. Finished lumber sales increased $3.5 million due to an
$82 per thousand board feet rise in sales price from $298 per thousand board
feet a year ago and a five-percent increase in sales volume to 36.8 million
board feet. Operating income was $7.5 million for the first quarter of 1997
compared to $4.8 million in the first quarter of 1996, a 56-percent increase,
primarily the result of increased sales of finished lumber and pine sawtimber,
partially offset by higher log cost incurred for sawmill operations.

     Real Estate operations recorded net sales of $2.6 million in the first
quarter of 1997 compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 1996.
Residential lot sales at the Company's Chenal Valley development decreased by
nine lots to 18 lots. However, the average sales price increased from $46,000 to
$63,000 per lot, an increase of 37 percent. A 13-acre commercial tract was sold
in the first quarter of 1997 for $100,000 per acre, while no commercial
development acreage was sold during the first quarter of 1996. Operating income
was $1.3 million for the current quarter compared to $.4 million a year ago, due
to the same factors impacting net sales.

     Agriculture segment net sales totaled $1.1 million in the current quarter
compared to $.2 million a year ago and operating income was $.5 million in the
first quarter of 1997 compared to break-even results during the first quarter of
1996, the result of the timing of product sales.

     Corporate operating expense was $1.5 million compared to $.9 million a year
ago due to increased general and administrative expenses incurred as a public
company.

     Interest income decreased $.3 million when compared to the first quarter of
1996, due mainly to settlement of the interest-bearing receivable from Murphy
Oil Corporation, Deltic's parent prior to the spin-off. Income tax expense
increased to $3.2 million for the current quarter from $2.1 million a year ago,
due to higher pretax earnings.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     During the first quarter of 1997, net cash provided by operating activities
totaled $8.7 million compared to $3.3 million during the first quarter of 1996.
Changes in operating working capital, other than cash and cash equivalents,
provided cash of $1.5 million for the first three months of 1997, but required
cash of $2.1 million for the 1996 period.

     Capital expenditures required cash of $4.9 million in the current quarter
and $1.9 million a year ago. The increase was primarily due to $3.5 million
utilized to acquire additional timberlands. Total capital expenditures,
including those not requiring cash, are summarized by segment in the following
table .

securities, made advances to Del-Tin Fiber, L.L.C. of $3 million, and paid
dividends of $.8 million. Cash required to repay long-term debt amounted to $1.7
million in the first quarter of 1997 and $.4 million in the first quarter of
1996. These uses of funds resulted in an $8.2 million reduction in working
capital from December 31, 1996, to $17.6 million at March 31, 1997.
