ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

                                   BACKGROUND

     Wilshire Oil Company of Texas (the "Company", "Registrant" or "Wilshire")
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 7, 1951.
The Company's  principal executive offices are located at 921 Bergen Avenue,
Jersey City, New Jersey  07306, (201) 420-2796.

     The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas,
both in its own name and through several wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United
States and Canada. The Company's real estate division owns investment real
estate properties in Arizona, Texas, Florida and New Jersey.

     At December 31, 1994 the Company held 1,412,960 common shares in
Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. (NYSE: JEC).



               FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

     For financial segment information please see Note 7, "Segment Information"
of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements", presented elsewhere herein.
The Company has no export sales or sales to affiliated customers.

                             DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS

          For a glossary of oil and gas terms, see "Properties - Oil and Gas
Properties - Glossary."

          The Company conducts its oil and gas operations on the North American
continent.  Oil and gas operations in the United States are located in Arkansas,
California, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas
and Wyoming.   In Canada, the Company conducts oil and gas operations in the
Provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.


     As of March 15, 1995,  16 people are  employed by the Company.  Twelve
employees are directly engaged in the search for new oil and gas properties.  In
addition, the Company also has consultants.

     Prospects for lease acquisitions are developed by staff geologists or
acquired from various co-venturers and/or consultants.

                                       1

<PAGE>



          Once a property is acquired, the Company subcontracts for surveying
and drilling operations.  Many of the Company's present producing oil and gas
properties are operated by independent contractors or under operating agreements
with other companies pursuant to which the Company pays a proportionate share of
operating expenses based upon its interests.  The Company also acts as operator
of various properties, charging joint venture partners for their proportionate
share of expenses.

          The Company does not engage in the refining of crude oil or the
distribution of petroleum products.  Crude oil and natural gas productions are
sold to oil refineries and natural gas pipeline companies.

          The Company participated in the drilling of 15 wells (2.7 net) in 1994
compared to 10 (2.5 net) in 1993.

          The United States' program in 1994 consisted of the drilling of 8
development wells (1.4 net).  All of these  wells were successfully completed as
oil wells for a success ratio of  100%.

          Three (1.3 net) out of  the eight wells drilled were in Wyoming, four
(.1 net) were in Oklahoma and one (.02 net) was in Arkansas.  The three
successful wells in Wyoming were the McConnaughey 1-14H, the Wyoming "C" State
1-H and the Sunlight 1-H.  All of these wells were oil wells and used horizontal
drilling, which enables the driller to laterally intersect several vertical
fractures, as distinguished from conventional drilling methods which limit the
number of vertical fractures intersected.  The four wells drilled in Oklahoma
were conventional in nature, as was the Arkansas well.  Of the four Oklahoma
wells, three were gas wells and one oil.  The Arkansas well was a gas well.
Drilling activities added 216,000 barrels of oil  and 190,000 MCF gas to U.S.
proved reserves in 1994.

         The Canadian drilling program in 1994 consisted  of the drilling of 7
wells (1.3 net), 4 development and 3 exploration.  All 4 development wells
(.4 net) were successfully completed, two as oil wells and two as gas wells.
Two of the exploration wells (.7 net) were successfully completed as  gas wells.
The Canadian company had a success ratio of 86%, which enabled it to add 25,000
barrels to the  oil reserves and 1,208,000 MCF to gas reserves located in
Canada.

          The Company's crude oil and condensate production is sold at posted
field prices, primarily to major crude oil and condensate purchasers.  For
average posted field prices, for both oil and gas, see "Properties - Oil and Gas
Properties - Production."  The Company has two purchasers, Amoco Production
Company and Sinclair Oil Corporation, that purchased in excess of 10% of its
1994 consolidated oil and gas revenues.  Amoco purchased 18% and Sinclair 12.9%.
Both companies are located in the United States.

          The loss of any one customer in the domestic hydrocarbon market is not
considered material.  The Company is not dependent on any patent, trademark or
license.

                                       2

<PAGE>


          The Company's oil and gas business is subject to all of the operating
risks normally associated with the exploration for and production of oil and
gas. In accordance with customary industry practices, the Company maintains
insurance coverage limiting financial loss resulting from certain of these
operating hazards.

COMPETITION

          The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive and competes with
other industries in supplying the energy and fuel requirements of industrial,
commercial and individual customers.

          The principal method of competition in the production of oil and gas
is the successful location and acquisition of properties which produce
commercially profitable quantities of oil and gas.

          The Company competes with many other companies in the search for and
acquisition of oil and gas properties and leases for exploration and
development.  Many of these companies have substantially greater financial,
technical and other resources than the Company.  Competition among petroleum
companies for favorable oil and gas prospects can be expected to continue.  The
Company is not a significant factor in the oil and gas industry.

          The principal raw materials and resources necessary for the
exploration for, and the acquisition, development, production and sale of, crude
oil and natural gas are leasehold or freehold prospects under which oil and gas
reserves may be discovered, drilling rigs and related equipment to explore for
and develop such reserves, casing and other capital assets required for the
development and production of the reserves and knowledgeable personnel to
conduct all phases of oil and gas operations.  The Company must compete for such
raw materials and resources with both major oil companies and independent
operators and also with other industries for certain personnel and materials.
Although the Company believes its current inventories of raw materials and
resources are adequate to preclude any significant disruption of operations in
the immediate future, the continued availability of such materials and resources
to the Company cannot be assured.


SEASONALITY

          The oil business is generally not seasonal  in nature.  Gas demand and
prices paid for gas have become seasonal, showing a decrease during the summer
and fall.

                                       3

<PAGE>


ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

          The petroleum industry is subject to numerous federal, state and
provincial environmental statutes, regulations and other pollution controls in
both the United States and Canada. In general, the Company is and will continue
to be subject to present and future environmental statutes and regulations.

          The Company's expenses relating to preserving the environment during
1994 were not significant in relation to operating costs and the Company expects
no material changes in 1995. Environmental regulations have had no materially
adverse effect on the Company's petroleum operations to date, but no assurance
can be given that environmental regulations will not, in the future, result in a
curtailment of production or otherwise have materially adverse effects on the
Company's operations or financial condition.

REGULATION - UNITED STATES OPERATIONS


          The Company's operations are affected from time to time, in varying
degrees, by political developments, laws and regulations.  In particular, oil
and gas production operations are affected by changes in taxes and other laws
relating to the petroleum industry and by constantly changing administrative
regulations.  The long-term effects of all the federal enactments and programs,
whether beneficial or detrimental to the future operations and income of the
Company, cannot be predicted at this time.

          Rates of production of oil and gas have for many years been subject to
conservation laws and regulations.  State regulatory agencies set allowable
rates of production and limit the number of days a month a well can produce.
The petroleum industry has also been subject to tax laws dealing specifically
with it, such as the Crude Oil Windfall Profit Tax Act.  In addition, oil and
gas operations are subject to extensive regulation or termination by government
authorities on account of ecological and other considerations.  All of the
jurisdictions in which the Company operates have statutes and administrative
regulations governing the drilling and production of oil and gas.

REGULATION - CANADIAN OPERATIONS

          The Company's Canadian subsidiary, Wilshire Oil of Canada, Ltd.,
operates primarily in the Province of Alberta, with some activity in the
Province of British Columbia and Saskatchewan.

          The petroleum and natural gas industry operates under federal and
provincial legislation and regulations which govern land tenure, royalties,
production rates, environmental protection, exports and other matters.  Federal
legislation monitors the price of oil and gas in export trade and the quantities
of such products exportable from Canada.  Provincial legislation has been
enacted for the purpose of regulating operations in the Provinces.

                                       4

OIL PRICES

          Oil prices actually being paid by purchasers in the United States are
publicly announced throughout the country and vary depending on locality and
qualitative specifications of the crude oil.  All prices are subject to future
modification by appropriate agency action.




JACOBS ENGINEERING INVESTMENT

      Wilshire made a significant investment in Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc.
("Jacobs") initially during 1986 by purchasing 278,300 shares of common stock at
an average price of $7.25 per share.  Subsequently, the Company purchased
additional shares, the stock split, stock dividends were received and the
Company sold certain shares.  On December 31, 1994 Wilshire held 1,412,960
shares at an average cost of $5.37 per share.

     The Company realized gains on sales of common shares of Jacobs of
$5,457,000 in 1994 compared to $6,256,000 in 1993.  The Company sold  less
shares of Jacobs in 1994 than in 1993.

          Jacobs, headquartered in Pasadena, California, is listed on the New
York Stock Exchange.   It is a world-wide leader in engineering design,
construction management and operation of industrial facilities, plants and
governmental projects.

          For its fiscal year ended September 30, 1994, Jacobs reported revenues
of $1,165,754,100, net income of  $18,767,000, and net income per share of $.75.


     The closing price of Jacobs' common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on
March 15, 1995 was 3.6  times more than Wilshire's average cost of the shares it
currently holds.  Wilshire's cost as of March 15, 1995 was $7,733,000.  The
aggregate market value of the Jacobs common stock held by Wilshire on March 15,
1995 (based on the closing price on that date) was $27,519,000, or $19,786,000
in excess of Wilshire's cost basis.

          The stock of Jacobs held by Wilshire continues to be important to
Wilshire as it broadens the Company's base and adds substantially to the value
of the Company's assets.

REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS

      The Company's real estate operations are conducted in the states of
Arizona, Texas, Florida and New Jersey. They are not seasonal in nature.

      The Company added additional investment properties to its real estate
holdings in 1994. On March 31, 1994 the Company  acquired various real estate
properties located in Arizona and New Jersey at an aggregate purchase  price of
$10,240,000  from The Trust Company of New Jersey, which  also provided the
long-term financing of $8,704,000.

      The Company's Arizona properties include two garden apartment complexes, a
midrise apartment building, an office building, and a retail/medical use
complex.  The garden apartment complexes consist of a 340 unit complex and a 378
unit complex.  The midrise apartment building is a 70 unit, four story building.
The office building is a 53,000 square foot multi-tenant two story building.
The retail/medical use property consists of 65,000 square feet.

     The Texas property is a  228 unit apartment complex.

     The  Florida property consists of two office buildings having a combined
area of 28,000 square feet.

     The Company's properties in New Jersey include  apartment properties having
274 units as well as various commercial/retail properties.

     The Company utilizes property management companies to assist in the
management of its properties.  Expenses incurred in operating the properties
include, among other things, administrative costs, utilities, repairs and
maintenance and property taxes.

     The Company will explore other real estate acquisitions as they arise.  The
timing of any such acquisition will depend on, among other things, economic
conditions and the favorable evaluation of specific opportunities presented to
the Company.  Accordingly, while the Company anticipates that it will actively
explore real estate acquisition opportunities, no assurance can be given that
any such acquisition will occur.

     The real estate industry is intensely competitive in nature.  The Company
competes with many other real estate operators and is not a significant factor
in the market it operates in.

     The Company's real estate operations are subject to existing federal and
state laws regarding environmental quality and pollution control.  Environmental
regulations had no materially adverse effect on the Company's real estate
operations during 1994, but no assurance can be given that environmental
regulations will not, in the future, have a materially adverse effect on the
Company's operations.

RESERVES

          The quantities of natural gas and crude oil Proved and Proved
Developed Reserves presented herein include only those amounts which the Company
reasonably expects to recover in the future from known oil and gas reservoirs
under existing economic and operating conditions.  Therefore, Proved and Proved
Developed Reserves are limited to those quantities which are recoverable
commercially at current prices and costs, under existing technology.
Accordingly, any changes in the future oil and gas prices, operating and
development costs, regulations, technology and other factors could significantly
increase or decrease estimates of Proved and Proved Developed Reserves.

          The Company's net Proved and Proved Developed Reserves of oil and gas
and the present values thereof at December 31, 1992 and 1993 and 1994 were
estimated by the independent professional engineering consultants referred to on
page 27.  Such estimates were utilized in the preparation of the Company's
consolidated financial statements for the applicable fiscal years and for
reporting purposes.

          Set forth below are estimates of the Company's Proved and Proved
Developed Reserves and the present value of estimated future net revenues from
such reserves based upon the standardized measure of discounted future net cash
flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves in accordance with the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69, "Disclosures about Oil
and Gas Producing Activities" (SFAS No. 69).  The standardized measure of
discounted future net cash flows is determined by using estimated quantities of
Proved Reserves and the periods in which they are expected to be developed and
produced based on period-end economic conditions.  The estimated future
production is priced at period-end prices, except where fixed and determinable
price escalations are provided by contract.  The resulting estimated future cash
inflows are reduced further by estimated future costs to develop and produce
reserves based on period-end cost levels.  No deduction has been made for
depletion, depreciation or income taxes or for indirect costs, such as general
corporate overhead.  Present values were computed by discounting future net
revenues by 10 percent per annum.

</TABLE>

          The determination of oil and gas reserves is a complex and
interpretive process which is subject to continued revisions as additional
information becomes available.  Reserve estimates prepared by different
engineers from the same data can vary widely.  Therefore, the reserve data
presented herein should not be construed as being exact.  Any reserve estimate,
especially when based upon volummetric calculations, depends in part on the
quality of available data, engineering and geologic interpretation and
judgement, and thus, represents only an informed professional judgement.
Subsequent reservoir performance may justify upward or downward revision of the
estimate.

      No Proved or Proved Developed Reserve estimates for oil and gas were filed
with or included in reports to any other federal or foreign governmental
authority or agency since the beginning of fiscal 1994, other than with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

PRODUCTION WELLS

       The following tabulations indicate the number of productive wells (gross
and net) as of December 31, 1994.

PRODUCTION

 The following table shows the Company's net production in barrels ("Bbls") of
crude oil and in thousands of cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas (computed after
deducting all outstanding interests, including basic royalties and overriding
royalties) for the past three years (note - all $ dollar amounts presented are
in U.S. dollars).

1992        $19.29         $17.17      $1.85                 $1.09


     Production as shown in the table, which is net after royalty interests due
others, is determined by multiplying the gross production volume of properties
in which the Company has an interest by the percentage of the leasehold or other
property interest owned by the Company.

     The relative energy content of oil and gas (six Mcf of gas equals one
barrel of oil) was used to obtain a conversion factor to convert natural gas
production into equivalent barrels of oils.

     There are no agreements with foreign governments.


Average Production Cost Per Equivalent Barrel
of Oil in the United States and Canada:
---------------------------------------------

                             1994              1993               1992

      Canada                $2.38             $2.64              $2.89


      Unit cost is computed on equivalent barrels of oil equating gas to oil
based on BTU content. This method is appropriate for the Registrant since
several properties produce both oil and gas and production costs are not
segregated.

      The components of production costs may vary substantially among wells
depending on the methods of recovery employed and other factors, but generally
include severance taxes, administrative overhead, maintenance and repair, labor
and utilities.

      A "gross" acre is an acre in which the Company owns a working interest.  A
"net" acre is deemed to exist when the sum of the fractional working interests
owned by the Company in gross acres equals one.


DRILLING

      The following table sets forth the results of the Registrant's drilling

      A dry hole is an exploratory or development well which is found to be
incapable of producing oil or gas in sufficient quantities to justify
completion.  A productive well is an exploratory or development well that is
capable of commercial production.  The number of wells drilled refers to the
number of wells completed during the fiscal year, regardless of when drilling
was initiated.

          As of March 15, 1995 there were 10,790 common shareholders of records.


          The Company declared a $.06  per common share cash dividend on June
17, 1994 to shareholders of record on July 29, 1994, payable on August 19, 1994.
The Company declared a $.05 per common share cash dividend on June 11, 1993, to
shareholders of record on July 30, 1993, payable on August 27, 1993.  There was
no cash dividend in 1992.

          The Company declared 3% stock dividends in 1994, 1993, and 1992.
These are deemed to constitute stock distributions to the extent that such
distributions exceeded retained earnings. Wilshire's Board authorized these
stock distributions in recognition of the increased value of the Jacob's common
stock currently held by the Company which has not been reflected in the
Company's earnings.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL

      The Company's oil and gas operating performance is influenced by several
factors.  The most significant are the prices received for the sale of oil and
gas and the sales volume.  The entire energy industry, along with the Company,
experienced declines in 1994 in the prices received for crude oil. For 1994,
the average price of oil that the Company received was $14.83 compared to $15.87
for 1993, a price decline of 6.6%. Average gas prices received by the Company
in 1994 were slightly higher than 1993 average gas prices. The average price
of gas for 1994 was $1.59 compared to $1.54 for 1993.

      Wilshire's oil production in 1994 increased in volume by 17.9%, from
274,000 Bbls produced in 1993 to 323,000  Bbls produced in 1994.  This increase
was due to the successful horizontal drilling program in the U.S. and the
successful drilling in Canada that together resulted in a total of 14 new wells
for 1994, adding  241,000  barrels of oil and 1,398,000 MCF of natural gas to
proved reserves in 1994.

          The following table reflects the average prices received by the
Company for oil and gas, the average production cost per BOE, and the amount of
the Company's oil and gas production for the fiscal years presented:

                                          Fiscal Year Ended  December   31
                                          -------------------------------------

                                          ----             ----            ----

    Gas(per MCF) . . . . . . . . . .      $ 1.59          $ 1.54         $ 1.56
Average production costs per BOE          $ 4.27          $ 4.36         $ 4.06

          Sales prices received by the Company for oil and gas have fluctuated
significantly from period to period. The fluctuations in oil prices during
these periods primarily reflected market uncertainty regarding the inability of
the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") to control the
production of its member countries, as well as concerns related to global supply
and demand for crude oil. Gas prices received by the Company fluctuate
generally with changes in the spot market price for gas. It is impossible to
predict future price movements with certainty.

          The Company added 14 investment real estate properties in 1994 to its
assets.  These properties were acquired March 31, 1994, and are located in New
Jersey and Arizona.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994  ("1994")  COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1993 ("1993").

          Net income  was $3,577,000 in 1994 as compared with $4,573,000 in
1993.  The 1994 operations included the revenues and expenses of real estate
properties acquired on March 31,1994 and gains on the sales of marketable
securities.  Gains on sales of marketable securities were $853,000 less in 1994
than in 1993.

          Oil and gas revenues were $7,926,000 in 1994 compared to $8,055,000 in
1993.  Despite a substantial increase (17.9%) in oil production from the
successful horizontal drilling program during 1994, revenues decreased slightly
due to a drop in the price of crude oil from $15.87 in 1993 to $14.83 in 1994.
Consolidated revenues in 1993 also included a non-recurring gas settlement of
$450,000.

      Real estate revenues increased from $6,526,000 in 1993 to $7,885,000
in 1994, an  increase of $1,359,000.  This increase was principally due to the
acquisition of additional investment properties in March 1994 as well as
generally higher rents and increased occupancy.

      Oil and gas production expense was comparable in 1994 and 1993.  Oil
and gas production expense was $2,846,000 in 1994 compared with $2,829,000 in
1993.  Average cost per BOE decreased by 2% in 1994.

      Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas assets amounted to
$3,150,000 in 1994  compared to $3,936,000 in 1993.  This decrease is
principally  attributable to an increase in the estimated  value of the
Company's oil and gas reserves. Real estate depreciation was $870,000 in 1994
compared to $653,000  in 1993. This increase is principally attributable to the
newly acquired properties discussed above.

      General and administrative expense was $1,386,000 in 1994 compared to
$1,097,000  in 1993.  The increase is principally attributable to increased
charges in 1994 related to the Company's non-qualified stock option plan.

      The Company realized gains on sales of common shares of Jacobs Engineering
Group, Inc.("Jacobs") of $5,457,000 in 1994 compared to $6,256,000 in 1993. The
Company sold less shares of Jacobs in 1994 than in 1993. As of December 31,
1994, the Company held 1,412,960 shares of Jacobs.

      Interest expense increased from $2,776,000 in 1993 to $3,638,000 in 1994
due to the addition of $8,704,000  of new financing related to the acquisition
of real estate properties in March 1994 as well as substantially  higher
interest rates in general in 1994.

      The provision for income taxes includes Federal and Canadian taxes.
Differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory income tax rates
are due to foreign resource tax credits in Canada and the dividend exclusion in
the United States.

1993 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992  ("1992")

      Net income increased from $3,523,000 in 1992 to $4,573,000 in 1993, an
increase of approximately 30%.  The 1993 operations included the revenues and
expenses of income producing real estate properties acquired on December 31,
1992 and June 30, 1993 and gains on the sales of marketable securities.  Gains
on sales of marketable securities were $1.3 million less in 1993 than in 1992.

      Oil and gas revenues were $8,505,000 in 1993 compared to $8,803,000 in
1992 a decrease of 3.4%. This was primarily due to lower worldwide oil prices
received during most of 1993, compared to 1992. This decrease in price was
offset, for the most part, by an increased volume of oil produced in 1993, due
to the continued success of the Company's horizontal drilling program in the
United States.  Consolidated crude oil production increased by 12.8% in 1993
compared to 1992.

      Real estate revenues increased from $2,604,000 in 1992 to $6,526,000
in 1993, an increase of $3,922,000.  This increase was principally due to the
operations of the income producing real estate properties acquired in December
1992 and June 1993 as well as generally higher rents and increased occupancy.

      Oil and gas production expense increased by 4.8% in 1993, from
$2,700,000 in 1992 to $2,829,000 in 1993.  Production expense increased
principally as a result of increased level of volume of oil production in 1993.
Average cost per BOE increased by approximately 7% in 1993 from 1992.

      Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas assets in 1993
amounted to $3,936,000 compared to $5,660,000 in 1992.  This decrease is
principally attributable to an increase in the estimated value of the Company's
oil and gas reserves. Real estate depreciation was $653,000 in 1993, compared
to $233,000 in 1992. This increase is principally attributable to the newly
acquired properties discussed above.

      General and administrative expense was $1,097,000 in 1993, compared to
$1,278,000 in 1992.  The decrease is principally attributable to decreased
charges in 1993 related to the Company's non-qualified stock option plan.

      The Company sold 285,000 shares of its investment in Jacobs
Engineering Group, Inc. in 1993.  These sales generated a gain on sale of
marketable securities of $6,256,000.  As of December 31, 1993, the Company held
1,572,760 shares of Jacobs.

      Interest expense increased from $2,133,000 in 1992 to $2,776,000 in
1993 due to the addition of $3,209,000 of new financing related to the
acquisition of income producing real estate properties in June 1993 and the
additional interest in 1993 for the properties the Company acquired in December
1992. Lower interest rates in 1993, compared to 1992, partially offset the
increases.

                                       21

<PAGE>


      The provision for income taxes includes Federal and Canadian taxes.
Differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory income tax rates
are due to foreign resource tax credits in Canada and the dividend exclusion in
the United States and, in 1992, settlement of the Revenue Canada tax audit.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

      The effects of inflation on the Company's financial condition are not
considered to be material by management.

ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

      Statement of Finanancial Accounting Standard No. 109- "Accounting for
Income Taxes" became effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter
of 1993. SFAS 109 requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach
to accounting for income taxes. SFAS 109 did not have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.

ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

      On December 31, 1993 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities"  (SFAS 115). The investments of the Company are principally
equity securities, held for indefinite periods of time. These securities are
carried at fair value and the difference between cost and fair value is
charged/credited directly to shareholders' equity net of income taxes.  As of
December 31, 1994, the net unrealized gain on marketable securities was
$18,487,000. This amount, net of related deferred income taxes of $8,319,000,
is included as a credit to shareholders' equity in the Company's 1994
consolidated financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At December 31, 1994 the Company had approximately $11,500,000  in
marketable securities at cost, with a market value of approximately $30,000,000.
The current ratio at December 31, 1994 was 5.4 to 1 on a market basis, which
management considers adequate for the Company's current business.  The Company's
working capital was approximately $26 million at December 31, 1994.

      The Company anticipates that cash provided by operating activities and
investing activities will be sufficient to meet its capital requirements to
acquire oil and gas properties and to drill and evaluate these and other oil and
gas properties presently held by the Company.  The level of oil and gas capital
expenditures will vary in future periods depending on market conditions,
including the price of oil and the demand for natural gas, and other related
factors.  As the Company has no material long-term commitments with respect to
its oil and gas capital expenditure plans, the Company has a significant degree
of flexibility to adjust the level of its expenditures as circumstances warrant.

                                       22

      As discussed under "Results of  Operations" above, the Company acquired
additional investment real estate properties on March 31, 1994.  The aggregate
purchase price of these transactions approximated $10,240,000.  These purchases
were financed with long-term mortgage loans of $8,704,000.

      The Company plans to actively continue its exploration and production
activities as well as search for the acquisition of oil and gas producing
properties and of companies with desirable oil and gas producing properties.
There can be no assurance that the Company will in fact locate any such
acquisitions.

      Net cash provided by operating activities was $4,446,000, $2,489,000,
and $5,049,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  The increase in 1994 was
primarily due to a reduction in outstanding receivables as well as an increase
in accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities.  The decrease in 1993 was
primarily due to  the payment in 1993 of Canadian tax liabilities settled in
1992.

      Net cash used in investing activities was $12,266,000, $4,165,000 and
$20,401,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The variations principally
relate to purchases of real estate properties and transactions in securities.
Purchases of real estate properties amounted to $10.2 million in 1994,  $3.8
million in 1993 and $19.9 million in 1992. Proceeds from sales of marketable
securities amounted to $6,710,000 in 1994, $6,730,000 in 1993 and $5,217,000 in
1992. Proceeds from receivables from securities sales amounted to $3,409,000 in
1994. Purchases of marketable securities amounted to $5,204,000 in 1994,
$2,170,000 in 1993, and  $1,149,000 in 1992. Additionally, the Company acquired
$3,000,000 of preferred stock of The Trust Company of New Jersey in 1994.

      Net cash provided by financing activities was $7,167,000, $233,000
and $15,977,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  The variations
principally relate to the issuance and renegotiation of  long-term debt.  As
previously discussed, in 1994, 1993 and 1992 the Company acquired  real estate
properties, which were financed with long-term mortgage loans.  Long-term
mortgage loans incurred in connection with these acquisitions amounted to
approximately $8,704,000 in 1994, $3,209,000 in 1993 and $17,212,000 in 1992.

      In 1994 the Company renegotiated all of its secured bank loans (other

amortization was obtained and  the maturity dates of these loans were  extended.

      The Company believes it has adequate capital resources to fund operations
for the foreseeable future.

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD STATEMENT NO. 69 DISCLOSURES

      The following disclosures are those required to be made by publicly
traded enterprises under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 69,
Disclosures About Oil and Gas Producing Activities.

      The SEC defines proved oil and gas reserves as those estimated quantities
of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and
engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in
future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating
conditions.  Proved developed oil and gas reserves are those that can be
recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.


                                       24

     Estimated future cash inflows are computed by applying year-end prices of
oil and gas to year-end quantities of proved reserves.  Future price changes are
considered only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements.  Estimated
future development and production costs are determined by estimating the
expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and gas
reserves at  the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming
continuation of existing economic conditions.  Estimated future income tax
expenses are calculated by applying year-end statutory tax rates (adjusted for
permanent differences and tax credits) to estimated future pretax net cash flows
related to proved oil and gas reserves, less the tax basis of the properties
involved.

     These estimates are furnished and calculated in accordance with
requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC.  Due to
unpredictable variances in expenses and capital forecasts, crude oil and natural
gas price changes and the fact that the basis for such estimates vary
significantly, management believes the usefulness of these projections is
limited.  Estimates of future net cash flows do not represent management's
assessment of future profitability or future cash flow to the Company.
Management's investment and operating decisions are based upon reserve estimates
that include proved reserves prescribed by the SEC as well as probable reserves,
and upon different price and cost assumptions from those used here.   It should
be recognized that applying current costs and prices at a 10 percent standard
discount rate allows for


                                       26

comparability but does not convey absolute value.  The discounted amounts
arrived at are only one measure of financial quantification of proved reserves.

     There were no oil and gas estimates filed with or included in reports to
any other federal or foreign governmental authority or agency within the last
twelve months.

     Reserves in the  United States were estimated by Ramsey Engineering Inc.
and the Company.  Reserves in Canada were estimated by Citidal Engineering, Ltd.

     "Total Costs Both Capitalized and Expensed, Incurred in Oil and Gas
Producing Activities"  (including capitalized interest), "Cost Incurred in
Property Acquisition, Exploration and Development Activities"  and "Results of
Operations from Oil and Gas Producing Activities"  during the three years ended
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 are included in Note 8 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, presented elsewhere herein.

     The standardized measure of discounted estimated future net cash flows and
changes therein related to proved oil and gas reserves is as follows:

                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Shareholders and
   Board of Directors of

        Wilshire Oil Company of Texas:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wilshire Oil
Company of Texas (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1994.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Wilshire Oil Company of Texas
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1993 the
Company changed its method of accounting for investments in equity securities.

                 WILSHIRE OIL COMPANY OF TEXAS AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Significant accounting policies followed by Wilshire Oil Company of Texas
(the Company) and its subsidiaries are as follows-

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION-

          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
          Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Intercompany account
          balances and transactions among subsidiaries have been eliminated.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS-

          The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include deposits
          with banks having a maturity of three months or less.

     MARKETABLE SECURITIES-

          On December 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
          Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments
          in Debt and Equity Securities," (SFAS 115).  As of December 31, 1994
          and 1993, the marketable securities of the Company subject to the
          provisions of SFAS 115 consist primarily of equity securities.
          These securities are held for indefinite periods of time and are thus
          carried at fair value in accordance with the standard.  Differences
          between an investment's cost and its fair value are charged (credited)
          directly to shareholders' equity, net of related deferred income
          taxes. The cost of securities sold is determined on a specific
          identification basis.

          As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, the net unrealized holding gains
          were $18,487,000 and $31,885,000, respectively.  The net unrealized
          holding gains are included as a credit to shareholders' equity, net
          of deferred income taxes of $8,319,000 and $14,348,000 for 1994 and
          1993, respectively.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT-

          OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES-

          The Company follows the accounting policy, generally known in the oil
          industry as "full cost accounting," of capitalizing all costs,
          including interest costs, relating to the exploration for and
          development of its mineral reserves.  Under the Company's method,
          all costs incurred in the United States and Canada are accumulated in
          separate cost centers and are amortized using the gross revenue method
          based on total future estimated recoverable oil and gas reserves.


                                      F-8


<PAGE>

          Capitalized costs are subject to a "ceiling" test that limits such
          costs to the aggregate of the estimated present value of the future
          net revenues of proved reserves and the lower of cost or fair value
          of unproved properties.  Management is of the opinion that, based on
          reserve reports of petroleum engineers and geologists, the fair value
          of the estimated recoverable oil and gas reserves exceeds the
          unamortized cost of oil and gas properties at December 31, 1994 and
          1993.

     REAL ESTATE AND OTHER PROPERTIES-

          Real estate properties and other property and equipment are stated at
          cost.  Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method using an
          estimated useful life of 30 to 35 years for real estate buildings and
          at various rates based upon the estimated useful lives of the other
          property and equipment.

          As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, real estate properties consist of
          land with an aggregate cost of $7,928,000 and $3,171,000, buildings
          with an aggregate cost of $26,257,000 and $21,148,000 and furniture
          and fixtures with an aggregate cost of $1,338,000 and $899,000,
          respectively.

     DEFERRED INCOME TAXES-

          Certain transactions are recorded in the accounts in a period
          different from that in which these transactions are reported for
          income tax purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes.
          The principal transactions are those related to intangible drilling
          costs, exploration costs, expired leases, depreciation and
          nonproducing well costs.

          As of January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
          Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  The
          new standard requires comprehensive tax allocation using the liability
          method of accounting.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are
          provided on temporary differences based upon the expected tax rates
          in the year in which payment of taxes is anticipated.  Subsequent
          changes in income tax rates would require adjustment of the deferred
          income tax liability to reflect the new rates.  The cumulative effect
          of adopting this standard was not significant to the consolidated
          financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

     INCOME TAXES ON UNREMITTED EARNINGS-

          Unremitted earnings of the Canadian subsidiary are intended to be
          permanently invested in Canada and are subject to foreign taxes
          substantially equivalent to United States Federal income taxes.
          The unremitted earnings on which the Company has not been required
          to provide Federal income taxes amounted to approximately $15,547,000
          at December 31, 1994.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION-

          The assets and liabilities of the Canadian subsidiary have been
          translated at current exchange rates, and related revenues and
          expenses have been translated at average annual exchange rates.
          The aggregate effect of translation losses have been deferred as
          a separate component of shareholders' equity until the sale or
          liquidation of the underlying foreign investment.

                                      F-9


<PAGE>


          NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE-

               Net income per common share is based upon the weighted average
               number of shares outstanding during the year, after deduction
               of treasury stock, as well as the dilutive effect of stock
               options, if material. Per share amounts for 1993 and 1992 have
               been restated to reflect the 3% stock distribution declared in
               1994.

          RECLASSIFICATIONS-

               Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1993 and 1992
               amounts in order to conform with the 1994 presentation.

(2)  INVESTMENT IN PREFERRED STOCK OF THE TRUST COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY:

          The Company owns 60,000 shares of The Trust Company of New Jersey's
          (The Trust Company) 9-3/4% preferred stock, which is stated at its
          original cost. Annual dividends of $439,000, $293,000 and $293,000
          were received on the preferred shares in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
          respectively. In accordance with the agreements, the preferred shares
          are callable in whole or in part at the option of The Trust Company
          and there are certain restrictions on the payment and accumulation of
          dividends. In addition, the Company has agreed to waive its voting
          rights with respect to these shares.

(3)  LONG-TERM DEBT:

          Long-term debt as of December 31 consisted of the following-

               all of the domestic oil and gas producing properties as well as
               marketable securities with a market value of approximately
               $1,480,000 at December 31, 1994.

          Under various stock option plans, stock options to purchase up to an
          aggregate of 349,641 shares of common stock at December 31, 1994 were

          period during which an option may be exercised varies, but no option
          may be exercised after ten years from the date of grant.

(6)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

          liability for those years will not have a significant effect on its
          consolidated financial position or results of operations.

          retirement benefits.
