</TABLE>

     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 110,260 in
     the first six months of 1994 due to the sale of 95,248 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 June 30, 1994, 10,264,392
     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 June 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 and other participants in the Registrant's Management Incentive
     Plans, 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
     No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("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:

</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 charge includes provisions for the 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.

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, 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 June 30, 1994 and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income and retained earnings for the three-
month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 and of cash flows for
the six-months ended June 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 $35,515,000 during
the first six months of 1994.  In addition, the Registrant incurred $4,700,000
in short-term bank borrowings.  This use of funds was primarily due to the
funding of capital related projects of $42,952,000, and the payment of
$15,404,000 in dividends, which were partially offset by $16,433,000 of cash
provided by operating activities.

During the second quarter of 1994, in addition to incurring $4,700,000 in short-
term bank borrowings, the Registrant's cash and marketable securities decreased
by $6,090,000.  This decrease was primarily due to the funding of capital
related projects of $22,242,000 and the payment of $7,706,000 in dividends,
which were partially offset by $18,450,000 of cash provided by operating
activities.

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


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 third quarter of 1994 for a total cost of
approximately $170,000,000.  By June 30, 1994, the Registrant had spent a total
of $155,437,000 on this project, of which $16,215,000 was spent in the first six
months of 1994.  The project's focus is almost entirely for improvement to the
environment, with a modest increase in pulping capacity.

The Registrant intends to spend approximately $21,000,000 for the installation
of a turbine generator at the Spring Grove mill.  The project began in 1993 with
completion expected in the first quarter of 1995.  By June 30, 1994, the
Registrant had spent a total of $6,863,000 on this project, of which $5,855,000
was spent in the first six months of 1994.  Total capital spending by the
Registrant in 1994 for this project is expected to approximate $15,500,000.

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

The Registrant classifies product sales into two groups:  1) printing papers;
and 2) tobacco and other specialty papers.  Net sales decreased by $7,023,000
and $18,737,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 1994,
respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 1993.

Net sales of printing papers were 12.6% lower in both the second quarter and the
first six months of 1994 compared to the corresponding periods of 1993.  Reduced
orders due to increased capacity within the paper industry, as well as extreme
weather conditions, led to approximately eight days and thirteen days of
unplanned downtime at the Registrant's Spring Grove, Pennsylvania and Neenah,
Wisconsin mills, respectively, during the first quarter of 1994.  Demand for
printing papers at the Spring Grove and Neenah mills has improved in the second
quarter of 1994 and additional unplanned downtime was limited to three days at
the Neenah mill during the beginning of April.

The Registrant's average net selling price per ton of printing papers was 6.5%
lower in the second quarter of 1994 compared to the second quarter of 1993 and
2.8% lower for the first six months of 1994 compared to the corresponding period
in 1993.  Pricing for some of the Registrant's printing paper products produced
at the Spring Grove and Neenah mills has recently shown signs of modest
improvement.  The Registrant is cautiously optimistic that market conditions
will allow additional price increases on certain printing paper products in the
second half of this year.

Net sales of tobacco and other specialty papers were 15.1% higher in the second
quarter of 1994 compared to the second quarter of 1993, and 7.2% higher in the
first six months of 1994 compared to the same period in 1993.  A significant
volume increase of 19.5% has more than offset an 11.8% drop in average net
selling price, primarily for tobacco papers, for the first six months of 1994
compared to the first six months of 1993.  Net sales of the Registrant's other
specialty papers increased by approximately 26.3% in the first six months of
1994 compared to the corresponding period in 1993, due primarily to increased
volume.

The Registrant's Pisgah Forest, North Carolina mill experienced a moderate
operating loss during the second quarter and first half of 1994 and has incurred
an additional moderate operating loss in July, 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 second quarter and first six months of 1994 decreased
$875,000 and $801,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1993.
These decreases are primarily due to a reduction in the amount of interest
earned on short-term investments.  Funds available for investment have decreased
since the Registrant's issuance of $150,000,000 principal amount of its 5-7/8%
Notes in March, 1993.  This decrease is primarily due to the funding of capital
related projects and the payment of dividends, as described under Liquidity
above.


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

The Registrant's gross margins fell from 16.8% for the first six months of 1993
to 8.2% for the first six months of 1994, and from 17.3% for the second quarter
of 1993 to 8.5% for the second quarter of 1994.  These decreases were due to
lower average selling prices and an increased cost of products sold per ton.
This increased cost per ton was 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.  The cost of products sold
also increased as a result of higher costs for market pulp and increased
depreciation costs.

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 has led to more downtime in the pulpmill than would normally
be incurred during the annual shutdown.  This will have an unfavorable impact on
the Registrant's earnings 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 second
quarter and first six months of 1994 decreased by $1,304,000 and $3,083,000,
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 $419,000 for the first six
months of 1994 compared to the corresponding period 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 four months during the first
six months of 1993 compared to six months during the 1994 period.  The resulting
increase in interest expense was offset somewhat by an increase in capitalized
interest.


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 charge includes
provisions for the cost 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.


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.  See Note 6 to
the condensed consolidated financial statements for a further description of the
accounting changes.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION
- - --------------------------


     Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
     --------------------------

          The Registrant owns and operates a pulp and paper mill located on the
     lower Fox River in Neenah, Wisconsin. The Registrant acquired that mill in
     1979 in its merger with Bergstrom Paper Company. In the 1980s,
     investigations into the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs") in
     sediments in the lower Fox River were begun. One source of such PCBs is
     claimed to be the recycling of NCR(R) carbonless paper which contained PCBs
     in its coating formulation. The Registrant previously recycled such paper
     at its Neenah Mill. As an outgrowth of the investigation, the Fox River
     Coalition, an ad hoc group comprised of members of private industry, local
     governmental entities, publicly-owned wastewater treatment plants and the
     Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources ("DNR"), was formed to develop
     and implement a quick and cost-effective clean up of the contaminated
     sediments in the lower Fox River. The Registrant is a member of the Fox
     River Coalition.

          As reported in the Registrant's report on Form 8-K dated June 22,
     1994, despite the efforts of the Fox River Coalition, in a letter dated
     June 20, 1994 (received by the Registrant June 22, 1994), pursuant to the
     Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
     ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. (S)(S) 9601-75, and the Federal Water Pollution
     Control Act, 33 U.S.C. (S)(S) 1251-1387, the United States Department of
     the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service ("FWS"), notified the Registrant
     and four other paper companies that they had been identified as Potentially
     Responsible Parties ("PRPs") under CERCLA for injuries to natural resources
     resulting from releases of hazardous substances to the Fox River and Bay of
     Green Bay (the "Site"). Further, the PRPs were advised of the FWS' intent
     to perform a Natural Resources Damage Assessment for the Site. Prior to
     notification from the FWS, DNR declined to join or support the FWS in its
     proposed action and urged the FWS not to assess damages for natural
     resources, stating that it believed that the voluntary approach of the Fox
     River Coalition was the fastest way to reduce any contamination in the
     lower Fox River. The Registrant is in the process of investigating this
     matter and is presently unable to determine the extent and materiality of
     liability, if any, associated with the action taken by the FWS, for which
     the Registrant may be responsible.

          On June 6, 1994, the Registrant settled, without any obligation on
     its part, the action captioned United States v. Modern Trash Removal of
     York, Inc., Civil No. 92-0819.
