                          WILSHIRE OIL COMPANY OF TEXAS
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         September 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
    $7,208,000 and $5,946,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
    1995, respectively, and $1,535,000 and $1,046,000 for the three months ended
    September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

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

Results of Operations

     Net income for the nine months ended September 30 increased from $2,851,000
in 1995 to $4,081,000 in 1996. Net income for the quarter ended September 30
increased from $217,000 in 1995 to $1,026,000 in 1996.

     Consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30 increased from
$10,831,000 in 1995 to $11,160,000 in 1996. Oil and gas revenues were $4,237,000
in the first nine months of 1996 as compared with $4,428,000 in 1995. Real
estate revenues increased from $6,403,000 in the first nine months of 1995 to
$6,923,000 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 period to period amounting to
$9,854,000 in 1996 and $10,057,000 in 1995. Oil and gas production expense
decreased by $230,000 and depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased by
$351,000. General and administrative expense increased by $21,000 and real
estate operating expenses increased by $357,000, principally due to the newly
acquired properties in 1996.

     Interest expense decreased from $3,123,000 in the first nine months of 1995
to $2,935,000 in 1996. This decrease is attributable to a reduction in long-term
debt and lower interest rates in 1996. Gain on sales of marketable securities
was $7,208,000 in 1996 as compared with $5,946,000 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 September 30, 1996, the gross
unrealized gain on marketable securities was $9.2 million. This amount, net of
related deferred income taxes of $4.1 million, is included as a credit to
shareholders' equity in the Company's September 30, 1996 consolidated balance
sheet.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At September 30, 1996 the Company had approximately $12 million in
marketable securities at cost, with a market value of approximately $21.3
million. The current ratio at September 30, 1996 was 2.6 to 1 on a market basis,
which management considers adequate for the Company's current business. The
Company's working capital was approximately $14 million at September 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. The Company is currently planning
further acquisitions of investment properties during the next several months.
Accordingly, while the Company anticipates that it will actively explore these
and other real estate acquisition opportunities, no assurance can be given that
any such acquisition will occur.

     Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $276,000 and
$2,307,000 in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively. The changes
principally relate to changes in operating assets and liablilities.

     Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $3,373,000 and
$980,000 in the first nine 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 $(4,169,000) and
$(3,002,000) in the first nine months 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.
