1.   During the three-month period ended September 30, 1993, federal tax
     legislation was enacted that significantly changed the income tax
     provisions for the Registrant.  The principal provision of the new law
     affecting the Registrant was an increase in the federal corporate income
     tax rate from 34% to 35%.  Taxes currently payable and deferred tax
     liabilities increased by $138,000 and $3,334,000, respectively, as a result
     of the new law and the application of Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109").  As a
     result, income tax expense from continuing operations for the three-month
     period ended September 30, 1993, increased by $3,472,000, causing a
     reduction in net income by the same amount.

     A reconciliation between the provision for income taxes, computed by
     applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% to income before
     income taxes and accounting changes, and the actual provision for income
     taxes follows (in thousands):

     The provision for deferred income taxes is, in part, estimated based on an
     allocation of the appropriate amount relative to the number of months
     reported herein and in conformance with existing tax regulations.

2.   The number of shares of common stock outstanding increased by 158,583 in
     the first nine months of 1994 due to the sale of 143,571 treasury shares
     pursuant to the various Employee Stock Purchase Plans of the Registrant and
     the delivery of 15,012 treasury shares pursuant to the 1988 Restricted
     Common Stock Award Plan of the Registrant.  At September 30, 1994,
     10,216,069 shares of common stock were held in treasury.

3.   The Registrant's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase in the
     open market or in privately negotiated transactions of up to 10,000,000
     shares of the Registrant's common stock in the aggregate.  Repurchased
     shares are added to the treasury and are available for future sale.  Under
     these authorizations, as of September 30, 1994, the Registrant had
     repurchased 8,998,030 shares for a total consideration of $149,523,823.

4.   Pursuant to the Registrant's 1992 Key Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan, on
     May 1, 1994, the Registrant granted to certain key employees, excluding
     officers, non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 246,000
     shares of common stock.  The stock options, which expire on April 30, 2004,
     were granted at an exercise price of $15.4375 per share, representing the
     average fair market value of the Registrant's common stock on Friday, April
     29, 1994 and Monday, May 2, 1994.  Subject to certain conditions, these
     stock options are exercisable for 174,000 shares of common stock beginning
     on November 1, 1994.  Stock options for the remaining 72,000 shares of
     common stock, subject to certain conditions, are exercisable for 25% of
     such common stock beginning on January 1, 1995 and for an additional 25% of
     such common stock beginning on January 1 of each of the next three years.

5.   Effective January 1, 1994, the Registrant changed its method of accounting
     for investments in debt and equity securities to conform to Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
     in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115").  The adoption of this
     standard did not have a material impact on the Registrant's Condensed
     Consolidated Balance Sheets or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income
     and Retained Earnings.

6.   Effective January 1, 1993, the Registrant adopted the provisions of
     Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers Accounting
     for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" ("SFAS No. 106"), No. 112,
     "Employers Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" ("SFAS No. 112"), and
     SFAS No. 109.  The net of tax charges (credits), impacting the first
     quarter of 1993, due to the adoption of these Standards, was as follows:

                        SFAS No. 109                  (10,624,000)
                                                     ------------

</TABLE>
7.   During the first quarter of 1993, the Registrant incurred unusual charges
     in connection with rightsizing and restructuring of $16,363,000, partially
     offset by a gain of $1,492,000 on the disposal of its Ecusta Division's
     airplane and a credit of $1,642,000 resulting from the updating of
     estimates relating to SFAS No. 106, subsequent to its adoption on January
     1, 1993.  The charges primarily include provisions for the accelerated
     pension, stock awards and postretirement benefit costs of early retirements
     and other terminations in the second quarter of 1993 and other one-time net
     costs relating to the rightsizing and restructuring of the Company's
     operations.  The rightsizing and restructuring, which was completed during
     1993, resulted in the early retirement of 156 employees and a reduction in
     annual salaries, wages and benefits of approximately $7,500,000.

8.   In the opinion of the Registrant, the accompanying unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which comprise
     only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the
     financial information contained therein.  These unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
     more complete disclosures contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form
     10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.  Certain reclassifications have
     been made of previously reported amounts in order to conform with
     classifications used in the current year. The accompanying unaudited
     condensed consolidated financial statements have been reviewed by the
     Registrant's independent public accountants, Deloitte & Touche LLP, in
     accordance with the established professional standards and procedures for
     such limited review.  No additional adjustments or disclosures were
     required as a result of this review.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
- - -------------------------------


P. H. Glatfelter Company:


We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of P. H.
Glatfelter Company and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1994, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income and retained earnings for the three-
month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 and of cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of P.H. Glatfelter Company and 
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and the related consolidated statements of
income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated February 11, 1994, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 1993 is fairly stated, in all material respects in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION:
- - ------------------- 

Liquidity:

The Registrant's cash and marketable securities decreased by $35,950,000 during
the first nine months of 1994.  In addition, the Registrant incurred $31,800,000
in short-term bank debt.  This decrease in cash and marketable securities and
increase in short-term debt was primarily due to the funding of capital related
projects of $64,989,000 and the payment of $23,121,000 in dividends, which were
partially offset by $17,510,000 of cash provided by operating activities.

During the third quarter of 1994, the Registrant incurred $27,100,000 in short-
term bank debt.  This indebtedness was incurred primarily for the funding of
capital related projects of $22,037,000 and the payment of $7,717,000 in
dividends, which were partially offset by $1,077,000 of cash provided by
operating activities.

The Company expects to meet all its near and long-term cash needs from a
combination of internally generated funds, cash, cash equivalents, marketable
securities and existing bank lines of credit.

Capital Resources:

The Registrant has continued its work on a major project to modernize the
pulpmill in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania.  The project began in 1990 with
completion expected in the fourth quarter of 1994 for a total cost of
approximately $171,000,000.  By September 30, 1994, the Registrant had spent a
total of $164,207,000 on this project, of which $24,985,000 was spent in the
first nine months of 1994.  The project's focus is almost entirely for
improvement to the environment, with a modest increase in pulping capacity.
Although the project is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1994,
expenditures relating to the project of approximately $3,000,000 are expected to
be paid in 1995.

The Registrant intends to spend approximately $20,000,000 for the installation
of a turbine generator at the Spring Grove mill.  The project began in 1993 with
completion expected in the fourth quarter of 1994.  By September 30, 1994, the
Registrant had spent a total of $10,978,000 on this project, of which $9,970,000
was spent in the first nine months of 1994.  Total capital spending by the
Registrant in 1994 for this project is expected to approximate $15,500,000.
Although the project is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1994,
expenditures related to the project of approximately $3,500,000 are expected to
be paid in 1995.

Net Sales
- - ---------

The Registrant classifies product sales into two groups:  1) printing papers;
and 2) tobacco and other specialty papers.  Net sales increased by $3,991,000
for the third quarter of 1994 compared to the third quarter of 1993.  Net sales
decreased $14,746,000 for the first nine months of 1994 compared to the
corresponding period of 1993.

During the first nine months of 1994, net sales of printing papers were 8.0%
lower than for the first nine months of 1993 due to both a decrease in sales
volume and a decrease average net selling price.  Reduced orders in the first
quarter of 1994 led to unplanned downtime at the Registrant's Spring Grove,
Pennsylvania and Neenah, Wisconsin mills.  Demand for printing papers improved
during the second and third quarters of 1994 and prices have increased since the
first quarter of 1994 for most of the Registrant's printing papers produced at
the Spring Grove and Neenah mills.  The Registrant remains cautiously optimistic
that continued improved market conditions will allow additional price increases
on certain printing paper grades during the fourth quarter of 1994.

Net sales of printing papers were 2.1% higher in the third quarter of 1994 
compared to the third quarter of 1993. Increased demand for printing papers
resulted in an increase in sales volume, which more than offset a decrease in
average net selling price compared to the third quarter of 1993.

Net sales of tobacco and other specialty papers were 9.6% higher in the third
quarter of 1994 compared to the third quarter of 1993, and 8.0% higher in the
first nine months of 1994 compared to the same period in 1993.  A significant
volume increase of 17.0% has more than offset a 7.7% drop in average net selling
price, primarily for tobacco papers, for the first nine months of 1994 compared
to the first nine months of 1993.

The Registrant's Pisgah Forest, North Carolina mill experienced a moderate
operating loss during the third quarter and first nine months of 1994 and has
incurred an additional moderate operating loss in October, 1994.  The
Registrant's continuing efforts to improve the results of operations for the
Pisgah Forest mill have not yet been successful, with the result that further
restructuring and cost cutting or other measures may be required.

Other Income (net)
- - ------------------

Other income (net) in the third quarter of 1994 increased $294,000 compared to
the corresponding period in 1993.  This increase was primarily due to gains from
property dispositions, which were partially offset by a decrease in investment
income.  Other income (net) for the first nine months of 1994 decreased $507,000
compared to the first nine months of 1993.  This decrease is primarily due to a
reduction in the amount of interest earned on short-term investments, which was
partially offset by an increase in gains from property dispositions. Surplus
investiable funds from the Registrant's issuance of $150,000,000 principal
amount of its 5-7/8% Notes in March, 1993, have dramatically decreased due to
the funding of capital related projects and the payment of dividends, as
described under the Liquidity section above.

Cost of Products Sold
- - ---------------------

The Registrant's gross margins fell from 16.0% for the first nine months of 1993
to 6.6% for the first nine months of 1994, and from 14.1% for the third quarter
of 1993 to 3.5% for the third quarter of 1994.  These decreases were due to
lower average net selling prices and an increased cost of products sold per ton.
The cost of products sold increased as a result of higher costs for market pulp,
pulp substitutes and wastepaper and increased depreciation costs.  The increased
cost per ton was also largely due to fewer tons of products manufactured because
of the unplanned mill downtime mentioned above and the Registrant's high fixed
cost manufacturing process.

In July, 1994, in connection with the annual Spring Grove mill maintenance
shutdown, the Registrant began integrating various components of new equipment
related to the pulpmill modernization project.  The complexity of integrating
the new equipment led to more downtime in the pulpmill than would normally be
incurred during the annual shutdown.  This had an unfavorable impact on the
Registrant's gross margins and net income in the third quarter of 1994 compared
to the third quarter of 1993.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
- - --------------------------------------------

The Registrant's selling, general and administrative expenses for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1994 decreased by $1,721,000 and $4,804,000,
respectively, compared to the same periods of 1993.  These decreases occurred
primarily in salaries, wages and other compensation related expenses resulting
from the Registrant's 1993 restructuring efforts.  Profit sharing and incentive
expenses were also lower in 1994 than in 1993 due to lower earnings.

Interest on Debt (net)
- - ----------------------

The Registrant's interest on debt (net) increased $1,147,000 and $1,566,000 for
the third quarter and first nine months of 1994, respectively, compared to the
corresponding periods of 1993.  As noted above, the Registrant issued
$150,000,000 principal amount of its 5-7/8% Notes in March, 1993.  These Notes
were outstanding for only seven months during the first nine months of 1993
compared to nine months during the 1994 period.  During the third quarter of
1994, the Registrant ceased capitalizing interest on a majority of the
expenditures related to the pulpmill modernization project, resulting in a
significant increase in net interest expense.

Unusual Items
- - -------------

During the first quarter of 1993, the Registrant incurred unusual charges in
connection with rightsizing and restructuring of $16,363,000, partially offset
by a gain of $1,492,000 on the disposal of its Ecusta Division's airplane, and a
credit of $1,642,000 resulting from the updating of estimates relating to SFAS
No. 106, subsequent to its adoption on January 1, 1993.  The charges primarily
include provisions for the accelerated pension, stock awards and postretirement
benefit costs of early retirements and other terminations of employees in the
second quarter of 1993 and other one-time net costs relating to the rightsizing
and restructuring of the Registrant's operations.  The rightsizing and
restructuring, which was completed during 1993, resulted in the early retirement
of 156 employees and a reduction in annual salaries, wages and benefits of
approximately $7,500,000.


Accounting Changes
- - ------------------

Effective January 1, 1993, the Registrant adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
106, SFAS No. 112, and SFAS No. 109.  The cumulative charge, net of tax,
resulting from the adoption of these Standards was $4,193,000.  Set Note 6 to
the condensed financial statements for a further description of the accounting
changes.
