</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 decreased by 413,186 in the
    first nine months of 1995. This decrease was due to the repurchase of
    565,500 shares of common stock for the treasury, which more than offset the
    issuance of 140,611 treasury shares pursuant to the various employee stock
    purchase plans of the Registrant and the issuance of 11,703 treasury shares
    pursuant to the Registrant's 1992 Key Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan. At
    September 30, 1995, 10,575,337 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 11,000,000
    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, 1995, the Registrant had repurchased
    9,563,530 shares for a total consideration of $161,174,827.

4.  Pursuant to the Registrant's 1992 Key Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
    "Plan"), on May 1, 1995, the Registrant granted to certain key employees 
    non-qualified options to purchase an aggregate of 229,660 shares of common
    stock. Of this amount, options for 224,660 shares of common stock, subject
    to certain conditions, are exercisable for 25% of such shares beginning on
    January 1, 1996 and for an additional 25% of such shares beginning on
    January 1 of each of the next three years. Subject to certain conditions,
    the remaining 5,000 stock options are exercisable beginning on November 1,
    1995. All of the stock options, which expire on April 30, 2005, were granted
    at an exercise price of $17.8125 per share, representing the fair market
    value of the Registrant's common stock on May 1, 1995.

    Also pursuant to the Plan and subject to certain conditions, on May 1, 1995,
    the Registrant awarded 59,620 shares of common stock to certain key
    employees to be issued in whole or in part depending on the Registrant's
    degree of success in achieving certain performance goals during the period
    from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1998.

                                       5

5.  The Registrant is subject to loss contingencies resulting from regulation by
    various federal, state, local and foreign governmental authorities with
    respect to the environmental impact of air and water emissions and noise
    from its mills as well as its disposal of solid waste generated by its
    operations. In order to comply with environmental laws and regulations, the
    Registrant has incurred substantial capital and operating expenditures over
    the past several years. The Registrant anticipates that environmental
    regulation of the Registrant's operations will continue to become more
    burdensome and that capital and operating expenditures to comply with such
    environmental regulation will continue, and perhaps increase, in the future.
    In addition, the Registrant may incur obligations to remove or mitigate any
    adverse effects on the environment resulting from its operations, including
    the restoration of natural resources, and liability for personal injury and
    damage to property, including natural resources. Because other paper
    companies located in the United States are generally subject to the same
    environmental regulations, the Registrant does not believe that its
    competitive position in the United States paper industry will be materially
    adversely affected by any obligations it may incur or the limitations which
    environmental compliance may place on its operations.

    The amount and timing of future expenditures for environmental compliance,
    cleanup, remediation and personal injury, property damage liability and
    natural resources damages cannot be ascertained with any certainty due,
    among other things, to the unknown extent and nature of any contamination,
    the extent and timing of any technological advances for pollution control,
    the remedial actions which may be required and the number and financial
    resources of any other responsible parties. The Registrant continues to
    evaluate its exposure and the level of its reserves. Management's current
    assessment, after consultation with legal counsel, is that such expenditures
    are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Registrant's
    financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, but there can be no
    assurance that its reserves will be adequate or that such an effect will not
    occur at some future time.

6.  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, 1994. 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, 1995 and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income and retained earnings for the three-
month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and of cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  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, 1994 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 10, 1995, 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, 1994 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

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

The Registrant classifies product sales into two groups: 1) printing papers; and
2) tobacco and other specialty papers.  Overall net sales increased by
$40,510,000 and $136,283,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of
1995, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 1994.

Printing papers net sales increased 44.3% in the third quarter of 1995 compared
to the third quarter of 1994 due to a 35.6% increase in average net selling
prices and an increase in sales volume of 5.3%.  Printing papers net sales
increased 52.6% for the first nine months of 1995 compared to the like period in
1994.  This increase was due to higher average net selling prices and an
increase in sales volume of 30.1% and 15.9%, respectively.

Printing papers selling prices increased in 1995 over 1994 due to the increase
in customer demand, as well as the ability of the Registrant to offset increased
raw material costs, particularly for market pulp, pulp substitutes, and
wastepaper.

An increase in printing paper demand led to the increase in sales volume in the
first nine months of 1995.  In contrast, during the first nine months of 1994,
insufficient demand within the paper industry, as well as extreme weather
conditions, led to approximately eight days and sixteen days of unplanned
downtime at the Registrant's Spring Grove, Pennsylvania and Neenah, Wisconsin
mills, respectively.

Printing paper demand weakened during the end of the third quarter of 1995.  An
expected rebound in demand for printing papers that generally follows a seasonal
slowdown during the summer months has not occurred.  Abnormally high levels of
paper inventories currently exist among customers in this segment of the
Registrant's business.  Orders have declined as book manufacturers and printers
have been reducing their inventories; consequently, during October,
approximately four days and fourteen days of unplanned market-related downtime
were necessary at the Registrant's Spring Grove, Pennsylvania and Neenah,
Wisconsin mills, respectively.  As customers reduce their inventories to normal
levels, the Registrant is optimistic that future orders will be sufficient to
sustain full operations.

Net sales of tobacco and other specialty papers were 9.3% higher in the third
quarter of 1995 compared to the third quarter of 1994 and 9.8% higher in the
first nine months of 1995 compared to the corresponding period of 1994.  These
increases were due to higher average net selling prices which resulted primarily
from the ability of the Registrant to pass through increased market pulp costs.

                                       8

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

The Registrant's gross margin increased from 3.5% for the third quarter of 1994
to 22.7% for the third quarter of 1995, and from 6.6% for the first nine months
of 1994 to 22.2% for the first nine months of 1995.  These increases were due to
higher average net selling prices, which more than offset an increase in the
average cost of products sold per ton. Significantly higher costs for market
pulp, pulp substitutes and wastepaper in the third quarter and the first nine
months of 1995 accounted for the increase in the average cost of products sold
per ton in such periods compared to the corresponding periods in 1994. These
cost increases more than offset (i) the ability of the Registrant to spread its
fixed manufacturing costs over more tons of products manufactured during the
1995 periods compared to the corresponding periods in 1994, and (ii) the
favorable impact of lower depreciation expense of approximately $2,500,000 and
$7,600,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of 1995, respectively.
Increased depreciation expense at the Spring Grove and Neenah mills was more
than offset by a reduction in depreciation expense for the Ecusta Division of
approximately $3,600,000 and $10,700,000 for the third quarter and first nine
months of 1995, respectively, compared to the like periods in 1994.  These
decreases resulted from a writedown of the net assets of the Ecusta Division in
the fourth quarter of 1994.  As a result of the reduction of depreciation
expense, increased net sales and the favorable impact of cost reduction efforts,
the Ecusta Division generated an operating profit during the third quarter and
first nine months of 1995.


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

The Registrant's selling, general and administrative expenses for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1995 were $2,387,000 and $7,310,000 more than
the selling, general and administrative expenses for the corresponding periods
of 1994.  These increases resulted primarily from higher profit sharing and
incentive related expenses during the 1995 periods compared to the 1994 periods.


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

The Registrant's interest on debt (net) for the third quarter and first nine
months of 1995 was $523,000 and $3,980,000 more than the corresponding periods
of 1994.  The Registrant capitalized $2,793,000 of interest during the first
nine months of 1994, including $501,000 during the third quarter, primarily
relating to the Spring Grove pulpmill modernization project which was completed
in the fourth quarter of 1994.  No interest was capitalized during the first
nine months of 1995.  The increase in interest on debt (net) for the first nine
months of 1995 was also due to higher average short-term borrowings and a higher
variable interest rate on the Registrant's interest rate swap agreement which
has a total notional principal amount of $50,000,000.  Interest on short-term
borrowings during the first nine months of 1995 was $381,000 more than the
corresponding period of 1994.

During the third quarter of 1995 the level of short-term borrowings declined
significantly below third quarter 1994 levels.  As a result, interest on short-
term borrowings was $212,000 lower during the third quarter of 1995 compared to
the third quarter of 1994. Interest expense related to the swap agreement was
higher in the third quarter of 1995 compared to the third quarter of 1994 due to
a higher variable interest rate.


Income Tax Provision
- - --------------------

The Registrant's provision for income taxes increased by $11,649,000 and
$29,974,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of 1995 over the same
periods of 1994 due to higher taxable income.


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

Liquidity
- - ---------

The Registrant's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities increased by
$2,798,000 during the first nine months of 1995.  In addition, the Registrant
lowered its short-term bank borrowings by $22,800,000 at September 30, 1995
compared to December 31, 1994.  These changes were primarily due to $80,212,000
of cash provided by operating activities and

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
cash used of $25,878,000 for the funding of capital projects, $23,184,000 for
dividend payments and $11,651,000 for the purchase of common stock for the
treasury.

Included in the Registrant's funding of capital projects for the first nine
months of 1995 was $6,256,000 related to the pulpmill modernization project and
the installation of a turbine generator at the Spring Grove mill.  Both of these
projects were completed in the fourth quarter of 1994.

The Registrant expects to meet all of 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.


ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS:
- - --------------------- 

The Registrant is subject to loss contingencies resulting from regulation by
various federal, state, local and foreign governmental authorities with respect
to the environmental impact of air and water emissions and noise from its mills,
as well as its disposal of solid waste generated by its operations.  The
Registrant anticipates that environmental regulation of the Registrant's
operations will continue to become more burdensome and that capital and
operating expenditures required to comply with such environmental regulations
will continue, and perhaps increase, in the future.  In addition, the Registrant
may incur obligations to remove or mitigate any adverse effects on the
environment resulting from its operations, including the restoration of natural
resources, and liability for personal injury and damage to property, including
natural resources.

Among the environmental remediation matters in which the Registrant is involved
is the investigation by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources ("DNR")
regarding polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs") in the lower Fox River on which the
Registrant's Neenah mill is located.  Among other areas, DNR's attention has
been directed to a specific deposit of PCBs known as "Deposit A".  Although DNR
has not completed the remedy selection process for Deposit A, DNR has proposed a
project to restore natural resources at Deposit A that DNR estimates will cost
$14.6 million.  At least one other preliminary cost estimate, which may not be
comparable in scope, is significantly higher.  Furthermore, DNR could propose
projects to restore the entire Fox River, the cost of which could exceed the
available resources of the Registrant and other companies upon which most
governmental attention has focused.  The Registrant is engaged in discussions
with the State of Wisconsin toward resolving any liability it may have to the
state in connection with the Fox River, the outcome of which cannot be
predicted.

Although the Registrant's current assessment, after consultation with legal
counsel, is that the Registrant's share of such expenditures for Deposit A and
other environmental matters is not likely to have a material adverse effect on
its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, there can be no
assurance that its reserves will be adequate or that such an effect will not
occur at some future time.
