                          WILSHIRE OIL COMPANY OF TEXAS
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            June 30, 1997 (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
         $6,001,000 and $5,673,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
         1996, respectively, and $3,312,000 and $2,633,000 for the three months
         ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively .

                     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 $3,055,000
in 1996 to $3,482,000 in 1997. Net income for the quarter ended June 30
increased from $1,403,000 in 1996 to $1,766,000 in 1997.

         Consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30 increased from
$7,316,000 in 1996 to $7,633,000 in 1997. Oil and gas revenues increased from
$2,730,000 to $2,842,000 and real estate revenues increased from $4,586,000 to
$4,791,000.

         Total costs and expenses were comparable from half to half, amounting
to $6,830,000 in 1997 and $6,613,000 in 1996. Oil and gas production expense
decreased by $41,000 and general and administrative expenses decreased by
$47,000. Real estate operating expense increased by $91,000 and depreciation,
depletion and amortization increased by $214,000.

         Interest expense decreased from $1,984,000 in the first half of 1996 to
$1,819,000 in 1997. This decrease is attributable to a reduced level of
long-term debt and lower interest rates in general in 1997. Gain on sales of
marketable securities was $6,001,000 in 1997 as compared with $5,673,000 in
1996. The provision for income taxes includes Federal, state, 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, 1997, the gross
unrealized gain on marketable securities was $6 million. This amount, net of
related deferred income taxes of $2.7 million, is included as a credit to
shareholders' equity in the Company's June 30, 1997 consolidated balance sheet.


                                       6

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At June 30, 1997 the Company had approximately $13.4 million in
marketable securities at cost, with a market value of approximately $19.4
million. The current ratio at June 30, 1997 was 3.7 to 1 on a market basis,
which management considers adequate for the Company's current business. The
Company's working capital was approximately $16.2 million at June 30, 1997.

         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 six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company acquired real
estate properties from The Trust Company of New Jersey ("TCNJ") at an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $1.9 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 second half of
1997. 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 $412,000 and
$496,000 in the first six months of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The changes
principally relate to changes in operating assets and liabilities.

         Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $4,979,000 and
$1,935,000 in the first six months of 1997 and 1996, respectively. Variations in
purchases of marketable securities, proceeds from sales of marketable
securities, and capital expenditures, including the 1997 first half
acquisitions of $1.9 million of real estate properties, contributed to these
changes. Included in proceeds from sales and redemptions of securities of
$8,053,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 is a redemption of 7,500 
shares, at par, aggregating $750,000, of preferred stock of TCNJ.

         Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(5,426,000)
and $(3,066,000) in the first half of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The variation
relates to both the issuance of long-term debt in connection with purchases of
real estate properties during 1997 and 1996 and principal payments of long-term 
debt.

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