ITEM 1. BUSINESS
BACKGROUND
Wilshire Oil Company of Texas (the "Company", "Registrant" or "Wilshire")
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 7, 1951.
The Company's principal executive offices are located at 921 Bergen Avenue,
Jersey City, New Jersey 07306, (201) 420-2796.
The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas,
both in its own name and through several wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United
States and Canada. The Company's real estate division owns investment real
estate properties in Arizona, Texas, Florida, Georgia and New Jersey. The
Company also holds investments in certain marketable securities.
This Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected in such forward-looking statements. Certain factors which could
materially affect such results and the future performance of the Company are
described herein under Item 7., "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
For financial segment information please see Note 8, "Segment Information"
of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements", presented elsewhere herein.
The Company has no export sales or sales to affiliated customers.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS
For a glossary of oil and gas terms, see "Properties - Oil and Gas
Properties - Glossary."
The Company conducts its oil and gas operations on the North American
continent. Oil and gas operations in the United States are located in Arkansas,
California, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas
and Wyoming. In Canada, the Company conducts oil and gas operations in the
Provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
As of March 16, 2000, 14 people are employed by the Company. Nine employees
are directly engaged in the search for new oil and gas properties. In addition,
the Company also has consultants.
1
Prospects for lease acquisitions are developed by staff geologists or
acquired from various co-venturers and/or consultants.
Once a property is acquired, the Company subcontracts for surveying and
drilling operations. Many of the Company's present producing oil and gas
properties are operated by independent contractors or under operating agreements
with other companies pursuant to which the Company pays a proportionate share of
operating expenses based upon its interests. The Company also acts as operator
of various properties, charging joint venture partners for their proportionate
share of expenses.
The Company does not engage in the refining of crude oil or the
distribution of petroleum products. Crude oil and natural gas productions are
sold to oil refineries and natural gas pipeline companies.
The Company participated in the drilling of 27 wells (5.4 net) in 1999
compared to 38 (8.1 net) in 1998. The United States program in 1999 consisted of
the drilling of three exploration wells (1.5 net), all of which were dry. The
Canadian drilling program in 1999 consisted of the drilling of 24 development
wells (3.9 net), with all of these wells successfully completed as gas wells.
Overall, the Company's drilling program had a success ratio of 89%.
The Company's crude oil and condensate production is sold at posted field
prices, primarily to major crude oil and condensate purchasers. For average
posted field prices, for both oil and gas, see "Properties - Oil and Gas
Properties - Production." The Company has no one purchaser that purchased in
excess of 10% of its 1999 consolidated oil and gas revenues.
The loss of any one customer in the domestic hydrocarbon market is not
considered material. The Company is not dependent on any patent, trademark or
license.
The Company's oil and gas business is subject to all of the operating risks
normally associated with the exploration for and production of oil and gas. In
accordance with customary industry practices, the Company maintains insurance
coverage limiting financial loss resulting from certain of these operating
hazards.
Competition
The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive and competes with other
industries in supplying the energy and fuel requirements of industrial,
commercial and individual customers.
The principal method of competition in the production of oil and gas is the
successful location and acquisition of properties which produce commercially
profitable quantities of oil and gas.
2
The Company competes with many other companies in the search for and
acquisition of oil and gas properties and leases for exploration and
development. Many of these companies have substantially greater financial,
technical and other resources than the Company. Competition among petroleum
companies for favorable oil and gas prospects can be expected to continue. The
Company is not a significant factor in the oil and gas industry.
The principal raw materials and resources necessary for the exploration
for, and the acquisition, development, production and sale of, crude oil and
natural gas are leasehold or freehold prospects under which oil and gas reserves
may be discovered, drilling rigs and related equipment to explore for and
develop such reserves, casing and other capital assets required for the
development and production of the reserves and knowledgeable personnel to
conduct all phases of oil and gas operations. The Company must compete for such
raw materials and resources with both major oil companies and independent
operators and also with other industries for certain personnel and materials.
Although the Company believes its current inventories of raw materials and
resources are adequate to preclude any significant disruption of operations in
the immediate future, the continued availability of such materials and resources
to the Company cannot be assured.
Seasonality
The oil business is generally not seasonal in nature. Gas demand and prices
paid for gas have become seasonal, showing a decrease during the summer and
fall.
Environmental Matters
The petroleum industry is subject to numerous federal, state and provincial
environmental statutes, regulations and other pollution controls in both the
United States and Canada. In general, the Company is and will continue to be
subject to present and future environmental statutes and regulations.
The Company's expenses relating to preserving the environment during 1999
were not significant in relation to operating costs and the Company expects no
material changes in 2000. Environmental regulations have had no materially
adverse effect on the Company's petroleum operations to date, but no assurance
can be given that environmental regulations will not, in the future, result in a
curtailment of production or otherwise have materially adverse effects on the
Company's operations or financial condition.
Regulation - United States Operations
The Company's operations are affected from time to time, in varying
degrees, by political developments, laws and regulations. In particular, oil and
gas production operations are affected by changes in taxes and other laws
relating to the petroleum industry and by constantly changing administrative
regulations. The long-term effects of all the federal enactments and programs,
whether beneficial or detrimental to the future operations and income of the
Company, cannot be predicted at this time.
3
Rates of production of oil and gas have for many years been subject to
conservation laws and regulations. State regulatory agencies set allowable rates
of production and limit the number of days a month a well can produce. The
petroleum industry has also been subject to tax laws dealing specifically with
it, such as the Crude Oil Windfall Profit Tax Act. In addition, oil and gas
operations are subject to extensive regulation or termination by government
authorities on account of ecological and other considerations. All of the
jurisdictions in which the Company operates have statutes and administrative
regulations governing the drilling and production of oil and gas.
Regulation - Canadian Operations
The Company's Canadian subsidiary, Wilshire Oil of Canada, Ltd., operates
primarily in the Province of Alberta, with some activity in the Province of
British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
The petroleum and natural gas industry operates under federal and
provincial legislation and regulations which govern land tenure, royalties,
production rates, environmental protection, exports and other matters. Federal
legislation monitors the price of oil and gas in export trade and the quantities
of such products exportable from Canada. Provincial legislation has been enacted
for the purpose of regulating operations in the Provinces.
Oil Prices
Oil prices actually being paid by purchasers in the United States are
publicly announced throughout the country and vary depending on locality and
qualitative specifications of the crude oil. All prices are subject to future
modification by appropriate agency action.
Investment in Marketable Securities
The Company holds investments in certain marketable securities. From time
to time, the Company buys and sells securities in the open market. The Company
over the years has decreased its holdings in marketable securities and focused
its resources in the oil & gas and real estate divisions.
Holdings of marketable securities, at market value, amounted to $5,212,000
at December 31, 1999 and $5,162,000 at December 31, 1998. The Company realized
gains from the sales of marketable securities of $24,000 in 1999, $4,932,000 in
1998, and $9,595,000 in 1997.
4
Real Estate Operations
The Company's real estate operations are conducted, both in its own name
and through several wholly owned subsidiaries, in the states of Arizona, Texas,
Florida, Georgia and New Jersey. They are not seasonal in nature.
The Company's Arizona properties include the following:
378 unit garden apartment complex
340 unit garden apartment complex
70 unit midrise apartment building
53,000 sq. ft. multi-tenant two story office building
65,000 sq. ft. retail/medical use complex
The Texas property is a 228 unit apartment complex.
The Company's operations in Florida consists of two office buildings having
a combined area of 28,000 square feet and apartment properties having 62 units.
The Georgia property is a 72 unit apartment complex.
The Company's properties in New Jersey consists of apartment properties
having 482 units. In addition, the Company holds various commercial/retail
properties, including a 75,000 sq. ft. office building.
The Company utilizes property management companies to assist in the
management of its properties. Expenses incurred in operating the properties
include, among other things, administrative costs, utilities, repairs and
maintenance and property taxes.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 1999, the Company sold eight
condominium units in New Jersey for a profit of approximately $701,000.
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 next several months. 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.
The real estate industry is intensely competitive in nature. The Company
competes with many other real estate operators and is not a significant factor
in the market it operates in.
The Company's real estate operations are subject to existing federal and
state laws regarding environmental quality and pollution control. Environmental
regulations had no materially adverse effect on the Company's real estate
operations during 1999, but no assurance can be given that environmental
regulations will not, in the future, have a materially adverse effect on the
Company's operations.

Reserves
The quantities of natural gas and crude oil Proved and Proved Developed
Reserves presented herein include only those amounts which the Company
reasonably expects to recover in the future from known oil and gas reservoirs
under existing economic and operating conditions. Therefore, Proved and Proved
Developed Reserves are limited to those quantities which are recoverable
commercially at current prices and costs, under existing technology.
Accordingly, any changes in the future oil and gas prices, operating and
development costs, regulations, technology and other factors could significantly
increase or decrease estimates of Proved and Proved Developed Reserves.
The Company's net Proved and Proved Developed Reserves of oil and gas and
the present values thereof at December 31, 1997 and 1998 and 1999 were estimated
by the independent professional engineering consultants referred to on page 28.
Such estimates were utilized in the preparation of the Company's consolidated
financial statements for the applicable fiscal years and for reporting purposes.
Set forth below are estimates of the Company's Proved and Proved Developed
Reserves and the present value of estimated future net revenues from such
reserves based upon the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows
relating to proved oil and gas reserves in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69, "Disclosures about Oil and
Gas Producing Activities" (SFAS No. 69). The standardized measure of discounted
future net cash flows is determined by using estimated quantities of Proved
Reserves and the periods in which they are expected to be developed and produced
based on period-end economic conditions. The estimated future production is
priced at period-end prices, except where fixed and determinable price
escalations are provided by contract.
9
The resulting estimated future cash inflows are reduced further by estimated
future costs to develop and produce reserves based on period-end cost levels. No
deduction has been made for depletion, depreciation or income taxes or for
indirect costs, such as general corporate overhead. Present values were computed
by discounting future net revenues by 10 percent per annum.
The following table sets forth-summary information with respect to the
estimates of the Company's Proved and Proved Developed Reserves at December 31
of the years indicated:

The determination of oil and gas reserves is a complex and interpretive
process, which is subject to continued revisions as additional information
becomes available. Reserve estimates prepared by different engineers from the
same data can vary widely. Therefore, the reserve data presented herein should
not be construed as being exact. Any reserve estimate, especially when based
upon volummetric calculations, depends in part on the quality of available data,
engineering and geologic interpretation and judgment, and thus, represents only
an informed professional judgment. Subsequent reservoir performance may justify
upward or downward revision of the estimate.
No Proved or Proved Developed Reserve estimates for oil and gas were filed
with or included in reports to any other federal or foreign governmental
authority or agency since the beginning of fiscal 1999, other than with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

1997 $ 19.10 $ 14.65 $ 2.01 $ 1.39
Production as shown in the table, which is net after royalty interests due
others, is determined by multiplying the gross production volume of properties
in which the Company has an interest by the percentage of the leasehold or other
property interest owned by the Company.
The relative energy content of oil and gas (six Mcf of gas equals one
barrel of oil) was used to obtain a conversion factor to convert natural gas
production into equivalent barrels of oils.

There are no agreements with foreign governments.
Average Production Cost Per Equivalent Barrel

1999 1998 1997
---- ---- ----
United States $6.31 $6.34 $6.32
Canada $3.20 $2.87 $2.78
Unit cost is computed on equivalent barrels of oil equating gas to oil
based on BTU content. This method is appropriate for the Registrant since
several properties produce both oil and gas and production costs are not
segregated.
The components of production costs may vary substantially among wells
depending on the methods of recovery employed and other factors, but generally
include severance taxes, administrative overhead, maintenance and repair, labor
and utilities.

A dry hole is an exploratory or development well which is found to be
incapable of producing oil or gas in sufficient quantities to justify
completion. A productive well is an exploratory or development well that is
capable of commercial production. The number of wells drilled refers to the
number of wells completed during the fiscal year, regardless of when drilling
was initiated.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas,
both in its own name and through several wholly-owned subsidiaries, on the North
American continent. The Company also conducts real estate operations throughout
the United States.
Oil and Gas -
The Company conducts its oil and gas operations in the United States and
Canada. Oil and gas operations in the United States are located in Arkansas,
California, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas
and Wyoming. In Canada, the Company conducts oil and gas operations in the
Provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
Real Estate -
The Company's real estate operations are conducted in the states of
Arizona, Texas, Florida, Georgia and New Jersey. The Company's properties
consist of apartment complexes as well as commercial and retail properties.
Corporate -
The Company holds investments in certain marketable securities. From time
to time, the Company buys and sells securities in the open market. Over the
years, the Company has decreased its holdings in marketable securities and
focused its resources in its oil & gas and real estate divisions.
General - Oil and Gas
The Company's oil and gas operating performance is influenced by several
factors. The most significant are the prices received for the sale of oil and
gas and the sales volume. For 1999, the average price of oil that the Company
received was $14.95 compared to $11.57 for 1998, a price increase of 29%.
Average gas prices received by the Company in 1999 were 17% higher than 1998
average gas prices. The average price of gas for 1999 was $1.77 compared to
$1.51 for 1998.
The following table reflects the average prices received by the Company for
oil and gas, the average production cost per BOE, and the amount of the
Company's oil and gas production for the fiscal years presented:

Average production costs per BOE: $4.90 $ 4.75 $ 4.85
18
Sales prices received by the Company for oil and gas have fluctuated
significantly from period to period. The fluctuations in oil prices during these
periods primarily reflected market uncertainty regarding the inability of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") to control the production
of its member countries, as well as concerns related to global supply and demand
for crude oil. Gas prices received by the Company fluctuate generally with
changes in the spot market price for gas. It is impossible to predict future
price movements with certainty.
Results of Operations
Year ended December 31, 1999 ("1999") Compared with Year Ended December 31,
1998("1998")
Net income for the year ended December 31 was $614,000 in 1999 as compared
to $1,007,000 in 1998.
Operating income in 1999 was $3,760,000 compared to $133,000 in 1998, an
increase of $3,627,000. This increase in operating income is due to higher
energy prices in 1999, increased profit in the real estate division due to
higher rents and control of costs in both sectors.
Oil and gas revenues increased from $4,759,000 in 1998 to $5,238,000 in
1999. This increase was attributable to a sharp increase in the price of crude
oil in 1999. Average crude oil prices in 1999 were approximately 29% higher in
1999 than 1998.
Real estate revenues increased from $11,546,000 in 1998 to $12,484,000 in
1999. This increase was principally due to higher rents.
Oil and gas production expense was lower in 1999 than 1998. Oil and gas
production expense amounted to $2,003,000 in 1999 and $2,297,000 in 1998.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas assets amounted to
$1,513,000 in 1999 compared to $2,367,000 in 1998. This decrease in depletion
expense resulted from an increase in value of the Companys reserves due to
higher oil and gas prices. Also, the Company additionally provided a
depreciation, depletion and amortization ceiling charge of $1,022,000 in 1998 to
reflect the substantial declines in the price of crude oil. Real estate
depreciation was $2,073,000 in 1999 compared to $1,729,000 in 1998.
General and administrative expense was comparable in 1999 and 1998. General
and administrative expense amounted to $1,646,000 in 1999 compared to $1,601,000
in 1998.
The Company realized approximately $4.9 million less in securities gains in
1999 than in 1998. The Company realized gains on sales of marketable securities
of $24,000 in 1999 compared to $4,932,000 in 1998.
Interest expense increased from $3,937,000 in 1998 to $3,944,000 in 1999.
This increase is attributable to higher interest rates in 1999.
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, additional provision to cover
the settlement of a tax examination, and the dividend exclusion in the United
States.
19
Results of Operations
Year ended December 31, 1998 ("1998") Compared with Year Ended December 31,
1997("1997")
Net income for the year ended December 31 was $1,007,000 in 1998 as
compared to $5,536,000 in 1997.
Oil and gas revenues decreased from $5,917,000 in 1997 to $4,759,000 in
1998. This decrease was attributable to sharp declines in the price of crude oil
in 1998. Average crude oil prices in 1998 were approximately 34% lower in 1998
than 1997.
Real estate revenues increased from $9,730,000 in 1997 to $11,546,000 in
1998. This increase was principally due to higher rents and the operations of
the properties acquired in 1998 and during the fourth quarter of 1997.
Oil and gas production expense was comparable in 1998 and 1997. Oil and gas
production expense amounted to $2,297,000 in 1998 and $2,274,000 in 1997.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas assets amounted to
$2,367,000 in 1998 compared to $2,327,000 in 1997. Also , the Company
additionally provided a depreciation, depletion and amortization ceiling charge
of $1,022,000 in 1998 to reflect the substantial declines in the price of crude
oil. Real estate depreciation was $1,729,000 in 1998 compared to $1,404,000 in
1997.
General and administrative expense was comparable in 1998 and 1997. General
and administrative expense amounted to $1,601,000 in 1998 compared to $1,646,000
in 1997.
The Company realized approximately $4.7 million less in securities gains in
1998 than in 1997. The Company realized gains on sales of marketable securities
of $4,932,000 in 1998 compared to $9,595,000 in 1997.
Interest expense increased from $3,331,000 in 1997 to $3,937,000 in 1998.
This increase is attributable to new first-mortgage indebteness on the Company's
recent real estate acquisitions.
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, additional provision to cover
the settlement of a tax examination, and the dividend exclusion in the United
States.
Effects of Inflation
The effects of inflation on the Company's financial condition are not
considered to be material by management.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." Both SFAS No. 130 and SFAS No. 131
have been adopted in the Company's 1999 financial statements.
20
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 1999 the Company had approximately $5.7 million in
marketable securities at cost, with a market value of approximately $5.2
million. The current ratio at December 31, 1999 was 1.3 to 1 on a market basis,
which management considers adequate for the Company's current business. The
Company's working capital was approximately $2.7 million at December 31, 1999.
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 year ended December 31, 1999, the Company did not acquire any
real estate property.. The Company will continue to explore 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 next year. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company refinanced with Criimi
Mae and Citicorp the original 1992 mortgage loans on the Company's Arizona
apartment building and Texas apartment complex. These funds were borrowed on a
long-term basis at favorable rates. The proceeds of these loans were used to pay
off the higher-rate original first-mortgage loans and for investment and working
capital purposes.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $5,225,000,
$(3,139,000) and $(268,000) in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The variations
in the three years principally relate to changes in accounts receivable and
accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(2,821,000),
$5,100,000 and $133,000 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The variations
principally relate to purchases of real estate properties and transactions in
securities. Purchases of real estate properties amounted to $5,700,000 in 1998
and $9,300,000 in 1997. Proceeds from sales and redemptions of securities
amounted to $602,000 in 1999, $18,186,000 in 1998 and $15,078,000 in 1997.
Additionally, purchases of marketable securities amounted to $1,338,000 in 1999,
$2,813,000 in 1998, and $2,428,000 in 1997. Proceeds form sales of real estate
properties amounted to $1,602,000 in 1999.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(5,094,000),
$(2,100,000) and $4,483,000 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The variations
principally relate to the issuance, refinance, and repayments of long-term debt.
See Footnote No. (4) to the consolidated financial statements for a schedule of
long-term debt.
The Company believes it has adequate capital resources to fund operations
for the foreseeable future.
21
Forward-Looking Statements

Standardized measure of

-------- -------- -------- --------
Estimated future cash inflows are computed by applying year-end prices of
oil and gas to year-end quantities of proved reserves. Future price changes are
considered only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements. Estimated
future development and production costs are determined by estimating the
expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and gas
reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming
continuation of existing economic conditions. Estimated future income tax
expenses are calculated by applying year-end statutory tax rates (adjusted for
permanent differences and tax credits) to estimated future pretax net cash flows
related to proved oil and gas reserves, less the tax basis of the properties
involved.
These estimates are furnished and calculated in accordance with
requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC. Due to
unpredictable variances in expenses and capital forecasts, crude oil and natural
gas price changes and the fact that the basis for such estimates vary
significantly, management believes the usefulness of these projections is
limited. Estimates of future net cash flows do not represent management's
assessment of future profitability or future cash flow to the Company.
Management's investment and operating decisions are based upon reserve estimates
that include proved reserves prescribed by the SEC as well as probable reserves,
and upon different price and cost assumptions from those used here. It should be
recognized that applying current costs and prices at a 10 percent standard
discount rate allows for comparability but does not convey absolute value. The
discounted amounts arrived at are only one measure of financial quantification
of proved reserves.
25
There were no oil and gas estimates filed with or included in reports to
any other federal or foreign governmental authority or agency within the last
twelve months.
Reserves in the United States were estimated by Ramsey Engineering Inc. and
the Company. Reserves in Canada were estimated by Citidal Engineering, Ltd.
"Total Costs Both Capitalized and Expensed, Incurred in Oil and Gas
Producing Activities" (including capitalized interest), "Cost Incurred in
Property Acquisition, Exploration and Development Activities" and "Results of
Operations from Oil and Gas Producing Activities" during the three years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 are included in Note 9 of the Notes to
