                          WILSHIRE OIL COMPANY OF TEXAS
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            JUNE 30, 1996 (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.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

     Wilshire Oil Company of Texas is a diversified corporation engaged in oil
     and gas exploration and production and real estate operations. The
     Company's oil and gas operations are conducted both in its own name and
     through several wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States and Canada.
     Crude oil and natural gas productions are sold to oil refineries and
     natural gas pipeline companies. The company's real estate holdings are
     located in the states of Arizona, Florida, New Jersey, Texas and Georgia.
     The Company also maintains investments in marketable securities.

3.   GAIN ON SALES OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES

     The company realized gains from the sales of marketable securities of
     $5,673,000 and $4,900,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
     respectively, and $2,633,000 and $2,698,000 for the three months ended June
     30, 1996 and 1995, respectively .

<PAGE>

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


Results of Operations

     Net income for the six months ended June 30 increased from $2,634,000 in
1995 to $3,055,000 in 1996. Net income for the quarter ended June 30 increased
from $1,304,000 in 1995 to $1,403,000 in 1996.

     Oil and gas revenues were $2,730,000 in the first half of 1996 as compared
with $3,013,000 in 1995. This decrease was due to production declines from
period to period. Much of this decrease in production is typical of the natural
decline experienced in a "horizontal well" drilling program. Real estate
revenues increased from $4,239,000 in the first half of 1995 to $4,586,000 in
1996. This increase was principally attributable to the operations of investment
real estate properties acquired in 1996 as well as generally higher rents and
occupancy.

     Total costs and expenses were comparable from half to half, amounting to
$6,613,000 in 1996 and $6,500,000 in 1995. Oil and gas production expense
decreased by $137,000 and depreciation, depletion, and amortization decreased by
$176,000. General and administrative expense increased by $164,000, and real
estate operating expense increased by $262,000, principally due to the newly
acquired properties in 1996.

     Interest expense decreased from $2,111,000 in the first half of 1995 to
$1,984,000 in 1996. This decrease is attributable to a reduced level of
long-term debt and lower interest rates in general in 1996. Gain on sales of
marketable securities was $5,673,000 in 1996 as compared with $4,900,000 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 Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

     The Company has 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 June 30, 1996, the gross
unrealized gain on marketable securities was $13.5 million. This amount, net of
related deferred income taxes of $6.1 million, is included as a credit to
shareholders' equity in the Company's June 30, 1996 consolidated balance sheet.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At June 30, 1996 the Company had approximately $12.2 million in
marketable securities at cost, with a market value of approximately $25.7
million. The current ratio at June 30, 1996 was 2.9 to 1 on a market basis,
which management considers adequate for the Company's current business. The
Company's working capital was approximately $18.3 million at June 30, 1996.

         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.

         During the first quarter of 1996, the Company acquired real estate
properties from The Trust Company of New Jersey at an aggregate purchase price
of approximately $3 million. 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.

         Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $496,000 and
$(4,000) in the first six months of 1996 and 1995, respectively. The changes
principally relate to changes in operating assets and liabilities.

         Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $1,935,000 and
$1,711,000 in the first six months of 1996 and 1995, respectively. Variations in
purchases of marketable securities, proceeds from sales of marketable
securities, and capital expenditures, including the 1996 first quarter
acquisition of $3 million of real estate properties, contributed to these
changes.

         Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(3,066,000)
and $(1,584,000) in the first half of 1996 and 1995, respectively. The variation
relates to both the issuance of long-term debt in connection with purchases of
real estate properties during 1996 and principal payments of long-term debt.

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