                                               ========      ========
</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 789,186 in
     the first six months of 1996.  This decrease was due to the repurchase of
     946,273 shares of common stock for the treasury, which more than offset the
     delivery of 80,763 treasury shares pursuant to the various employee stock
     purchase and 401(k) plans of the Registrant, the delivery of 4,131 treasury
     shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options under the Registrant's
     1992 Key Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan, and the delivery of 72,193
     treasury shares pursuant to stock awards granted under the Registrant's
     1988 Restricted Common Stock Award Plan.  At June 30, 1996, 11,715,854
     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 12,000,000
     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, 1996, the Registrant had repurchased
     an aggregate of 10,900,503 shares for a total consideration of 
     $ 184,425,824.

4.   Pursuant to the Registrant's 1992 Key Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan
     (the "Plan"), on May 1, 1996, the Registrant granted to certain key
     employees, excluding officers, non-qualified stock options to purchase an
     aggregate of 92,000 shares of common stock.  Of this amount, stock options
     for 82,000 shares of common stock, subject to certain conditions, are
     exercisable for 25% of such shares beginning on January 1, 1997 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 10,000 stock
     options are exercisable beginning on November 1, 1996.  All of the stock
     options, which expire on April 30, 2006, were granted at an exercise price
     of $16.625 per share, representing the fair market value of the
     Registrant's common stock on May 1, 1996.

                                       6

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 expenditures will continue and operating
     expenditures 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 its capital expenditures for, or operating costs of,
     pollution abatement facilities for its present mills, any other
     environmental-related 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,
     clean-up, remediation and personal injury and property damage liability
     cannot be ascertained with any certainty due to, among other things, 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, 1995.  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.

P. H. Glatfelter Company:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of P. H.
Glatfelter Company and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income and retained earnings for the three-
month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and of cash flows for
the six-months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  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, 1995, 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 2, 1996, 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, 1995 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
               ------------------------------------------------

Any statements set forth below or otherwise made in writing or orally by the
Registrant with regard to its expectations as to financial results and other
aspects of its business may constitute forward looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Although the
Registrant makes such statements based on assumptions which it believes to be
reasonable, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ
materially from the Registrant's expectations.  Accordingly, the Registrant
hereby identifies the following important factors, among others, which could
cause its results to differ from any results which might be projected, forecast
or estimated by the Registrant in any such forward looking statements: (i)
variations in demand for its products, (ii) changes in the cost or availability
of raw materials used by the Registrant, in particular market pulp, pulp
substitutes and wastepaper; (iii) changes in industry paper production capacity,
including the construction of new mills, the closing of mills and incremental
changes due to capital expenditures or productivity increases; (iv) the gain or
loss of significant customers; (v) cost and other effects of environmental
compliance, cleanup, damages, remediation or restoration, or personal injury or
property damage related thereto, such as the cost of natural resource
restoration or damages related to the presence of PCBs in the lower Fox River on
which the Registrant's Neenah mill is located; (vi) significant changes in
cigarette consumption, both domestically and internationally; (vii) enactment of
adverse state or federal legislation or changes in government policy or
regulation; (viii) adverse results in litigation; and (ix) disruptions in
production and/or increased costs due to labor disputes.

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

The Registrant classifies product sales into two groups: 1) printing papers; and
2) tobacco and other specialty papers.  Overall net sales declined $22,192,000,
or 13.3%, in the second quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter of 1995,
and $36,894,000, or 11.5%, in the first six months of 1996 compared to the
corresponding period in the prior year.  Printing paper net sales for the second
quarter of 1996 decreased $22,037,000, or 17.6%, compared to the corresponding
period in 1995 due to decreased sales volume and average net selling prices of
3.5% and 14.6%, respectively.  For the first six months of 1996 compared to the
first six months of 1995, printing paper net sales declined $38,231,000, or
15.8%.  This decline was a result of decreased sales volume and average net
selling prices of 10.8% and 5.7%, respectively.

Pricing for printing papers showed mixed results during the second quarter.
Commodity and non-commodity printing paper prices declined early in the quarter;
however, in early June a modest price increase was implemented for commodity
papers.


Tobacco and other specialty papers net sales were relatively flat in the second
quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter of 1995.  Decreased net sales
volume of 4.5% was offset by the effect of a 4.3% increase in the average net
selling price.  In the first six months of 1996, net sales of tobacco and other
specialty papers improved $1,337,000, or 1.7%, over the 

                                       9

first six months of 1995. Increased average net selling prices of 3.9% more than
offset a 2.2% decline in volume in the first half of 1996 compared to the first
half of 1995.

A decrease in printing paper demand led to the decline in sales volume in the
second quarter and first six months of 1996 compared to the corresponding
periods of 1995.  Although no unscheduled operating downtime was required during
the second quarter of 1996, approximately seven days of unplanned downtime was
taken at the Registrant's Spring Grove, Pennsylvania mill early in the year.  In
contrast, during the first six months of 1995, each of the Registrant's mills
operated at full capacity.  Although order backlogs were below the levels
experienced one year earlier, demand for printing papers improved during the
second quarter when compared to the earlier part of 1996, which allowed the
Registrant's mills to operate without any unplanned downtime.

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

The Registrant's gross margin increased from 21.9% for the first six months of
1995 to 23.6% for the first six months of 1996, and from 24.3% for the second
quarter of 1995 to 24.7% for the second quarter of 1996.  A reduction in the
cost of products sold per ton more than offset the negative impact of lower net
selling prices per ton.  The reduction in cost per ton was due primarily to
lower costs for market pulp, pulp substitutes and wastepaper in 1996 versus the
comparable periods in 1995.  These raw material cost decreases more than offset
the unfavorable impact of lower production during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1996 compared to the corresponding periods of 1995.  The
Registrant's lower production resulted in higher fixed costs per ton as fixed
costs were absorbed over fewer tons produced.

Although fiber costs are likely to remain lower throughout the balance of 1996
relative to the comparable periods in 1995, the Registrant believes that the
cost of purchased fiber will be higher during the second half of 1996 in
comparison to levels realized earlier in the year.  Market pulp costs increased
modestly effective July 1, 1996.  At the present time it is difficult to
determine whether these higher prices will hold and whether further increases
will follow.  Higher pulp costs could also provide an environment conducive to
improved prices for printing papers, which could more than offset the negative
impact of higher fiber costs.

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

The Registrant's selling, general and administrative expenses for the second
quarter and first six months of 1996 were $232,000 and $207,000 less than the
selling, general and administrative expenses for the corresponding periods of
1995.  These decreases were primarily the result of lower profit sharing and
incentive expenses, which were partially offset by increased miscellaneous
general and administrative expenses.

Interest on Debt
- - ----------------

The Registrant's interest on debt for the second quarter and first six months of
1996 was $397,000 and $773,000 less than the corresponding periods of 1995.
Reduced short-term bank borrowings accounted for $245,000 and $624,000 of these
amounts, respectively.  Interest on debt was approximately $152,000 and $149,000
less in the second quarter and first six months of 1996 compared to the
comparable periods in 1995 due to a lower variable interest rate on the
Registrant's interest rate swap agreement which has a total notional principal
amount of $50,000,000.  The variable rate on the swap agreement is recalculated
in March and September of each year until the termination of the agreement on
March 1, 1998.  As a result of this lower rate, during the first two months of
the third quarter the Registrant's interest on debt will be approximately
$101,000 less than in the comparable two month period of 1995.  Based upon
current interest rate levels, however, the Registrant expects a modest increase
in the variable interest rate on its interest rate swap agreement when the rate
resets on September 3, 1996.  The Registrant does not anticipate the need for
short-term bank borrowings during the balance of 1996.

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

The Registrant's provision for income taxes decreased by $2,080,000 and $985,000
for the second quarter and first six months of 1996 compared to the same periods
in 1995, primarily due to lower taxable income.

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

Liquidity:
- - --------- 

The Registrant's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities increased by
$1,085,000 during the first six months of 1996.  Cash provided by operating
activities of $44,003,000 slightly exceeded cash used in investing activities of
$12,819,000 and cash used in financing activities of $30,099,000.  Significant
uses of cash in the first half of 1996 were $15,823,000 for purchases of common
stock for the treasury, $15,073,000 for the payment of dividends, and
$12,886,000 for the funding of capital projects.

The Registrant expects to meet all of its near and long-term cash needs,
including the retirement of the $150,000,000 principal amount of its 5 7/8% 
notes due March 1, 1998, from a combination of internally generated funds, cash,
cash equivalents, marketable securities, existing bank lines of credit, and if
prudent, long-term debt.


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.  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 expenditures
will continue and operating expenditures 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.  The Registrant's
current assessment, after consultation with legal counsel, is that such
expenditures are not likely to have a material adverse effect on its 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.
