                          WILSHIRE OIL COMPANY OF TEXAS
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           MARCH 31, 1995 (Unaudited)


1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by
     the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
     disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
     condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
     Registrant believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
     information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed
     financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
     and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report  on
     Form 10-K. This condensed financial information reflects, in the opinion of
     management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for the
     interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not
     necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.


2.   GAIN ON SALES OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES

     The Company realized gains from the sales of marketable securities of
     $2,202,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and $2,102,000 for the
     three months March 31, 1994.


3.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Federal income tax returns of the Company and its subsidiaries for the
     years 1975 through 1983 are under review by the Internal Revenue Service.
     The Company believes that final settlement of its Federal tax liability for
     those years will not have a significant effect on its consolidated
     financial position or results of operations.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net income for the quarter ended March 31 increased from $1,306,000 in 1994
to $1,330,000 in  1995.

     Oil and gas revenues were $1,635,000 in the first quarter of 1995 as
compared with $1,842,000 in 1994.  This decrease was due to production declines
from quarter to quarter.  Real estate revenues increased from $1,771,000 in 1994
to $2,084,000 in 1995.  This increase was principally attributable to the
operations of investment real estate properties acquired in 1994 as well as
generally higher rents and occupancy.

     Oil and gas production expense decreased in the first quarter of 1995 by
approximately 6%.

     Real estate operating expenses increased in the first quarter of 1995 over
1994 principally due to the newly acquired properties in 1994.

     Depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense decreased in the first
quarter of 1995 compared with 1994 principally as a result of the increase in
the estimated value of the Company's oil and gas reserves.

     Gain on sales of marketable securities was $2,202,000 in 1995 as compared
with $2,102,000 in 1994.

     Interest expense increased from $692,000 in the first quarter of 1994 to
$1,060,000 in 1995 due to the addition of $8,704,000 of new financing related to
the acquisition of real estate properties in 1994 as well as substantially
higher interest rates in general in 1995.

     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.


ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

     Statement of Financial 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 the
Company's consolidated financial statements.


                                        5

ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

     On December 31, 1994 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 March 31, 1995, the
net unrealized gain on marketable securities was $17,673,000.  This amount, net
of related deferred income taxes of $7,953,000, is included as a credit to
shareholders' equity in the Company's March 31, 1995 consolidated balance sheet.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 1995 the Company had approximately $12.3 million in marketable
securities at cost, with a market value of approximately $30 million.  The
current ratio at March 31, 1995 was 5.2 to 1 on a market basis, which management
considers adequate for the Company's current business.  The Company's working
capital was approximately $27 million at March 31, 1995.

     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.

     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.

     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.

<PAGE>

     Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was ($301,000) in 1995
and $1,757,000 in 1994.  The decrease in 1995 was primarily due to changes in
operating assets and liabilities.

     Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $236,000  in 1995
and ($10,407,000) in 1994.  The variation principally relates to purchases of
real estate properties during the first quarter of 1994.

     Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was ($443,000) in 1995
and $9,452,000  in 1994.  The variation principally relates to the issuance of
long-term debt in connection with purchases of real estate properties during the
first quarter of 1994.

     During the first quarter of  1994 the Company renegotiated all of its
secured bank loans (other than mortgage notes).  Among other things, more
favorable principal 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.
