                          WILSHIRE OIL COMPANY OF TEXAS
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           MARCH 31, 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 gaspipeline 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 securties.


3.   GAIN ON SALES OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES

     The Company realized gains from the sales of marketable securities of
     $3,040,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and $2,202,000 for the
     three months March 31, 1995.  Included in accounts receivable on the March
     31, 1996 consolidated balance sheet are proceeds due on first quarter 1996
     sales of securities.

                     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 $1,330,000 in 1995
to $1,652,000 in 1996.

     Oil and gas revenues were  $1,349,000 in the first quarter of 1996 as
compared with $1,635,000 in 1995.  This decrease was due to production declines
from quarter to quarter.  Much of this decrease in production is typical of the
natural decline experienced in a "horizontal well" drilling program.  Real
estate revenues increased from $2,084,000 in 1995 to $2,191,000 in 1996.  This
increase was  attributable to generally higher rents and occupancy.

     Overall, costs and expenses were comparable from quarter to quarter,
amounting to $2,979,000 in 1996 and $3,105,000 in 1995.  Oil and gas production
expense decreased by $75,000, real estate operating expenses increased by
$22,000, depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased by $49,000, and
general and administrative expenses decreased by $24,000.

     Gain on sales of marketable securities was $3,040,000 in 1996 as compared
with $2,202,000 in 1995.

     Interest expense decreased from $1,060,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to
$997,000 in 1996.  This decrease is attributable to lower interest rates in
1996.

     The provision for income taxes includes Federal and Canadian taxes.
Differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory income tax rates
are principally 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

     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 March 31, 1996, the
gross unrealized gain on marketable securities was $17,783,000.  This amount,
net of related deferred income taxes of $8,001,000, is included as a credit to
shareholders' equity in the Company's March 31, 1996 consolidated balance sheet.


                                        5

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


     At March 31, 1996 the Company had approximately $12.3 million in marketable
securities at cost, with a market value of approximately $30.1 million.  The
current ratio at March 31, 1996 was 3.38 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 March 31, 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 $1,119,000 in 1996
and $(301,000) in 1995.  The increase in 1996 was primarily due to changes in
operating assets and liabilities.

     Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(3,263,000)  in
1996 and $236,000 in 1995.  The decrease in 1996 was principally attributable to
the first quarter acquisition of real estate properties discussed above.

     Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $1,924,000 in 1996
and $(443,000)  in 1995.  The variation principally relates to the issuance of
long-term debt in connection with the aforementioned purchases of real estate
properties during the first quarter of 1996.

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