PART I
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, 2001 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 9, "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,
Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming. In Canada, the Company conducts oil and gas
operations in the Provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
As of March 15, 2002, fifteen 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 15 wells (1.5 net) in 2001
compared to 13 (3.1 net) in 2000. The United States program in 2001 consisted of
the drilling of 8 development and 3 exploration wells (.2 net) and (.7 net).
Four of the wells (.7 net) were dry. The Canadian drilling program in 2001
consisted of the drilling of 4 development wells (.6 net), with three of these
wells successfully completed as gas wells. Overall, the Company's drilling
program had a success ratio of 66%.
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 2001 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 2001
were not significant in relation to operating costs and the Company expects no
material changes in 2002. 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.
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 $10,358,000
at December 31, 2001 and $7,166,000 at December 31, 2000. There were no gains
from the sale of marketable securities in 2001. In 2001, the Company recorded a
one-time charge through its statement of income of $1,684,000 to reflect a
decline in the market price of a security it owns, which was determined to be
other than temporary.
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 properties includes a 228 and 180 unit apartment complex in San
Antonio.
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 473 units. In addition, the Company holds various commercial/retail
properties, including a 75,000 sq. ft. office building and other undeveloped
investment properties.
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, 2001, the Company sold one
condominium unit and two undeveloped properties in New Jersey and Arizona for a
profit of approximately $1,472,000. In addition, the Company purchased a 180
unit apartment complex in San Antonio, Texas at a cost of $5,250,000. The
purchase was funded by a $980,000 cash down payment and an assumable mortgage of
$4,270,000. Also, the Company purchased three condominium units in existing
properties at a cost of $258,000 and two investment properties in New Jersey for
$2,686,000. The condominium units and the smaller investment property were
funded entirely from operations in the amount of $344,000 and the larger
investment property was acquired by a $1,400,000 cash down payment and purchase
money mortgage in the amount of $1,200,000.
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 markets it operates in.
5
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 2001, 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, 1999 and 2000 and 2001 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 2001 other than with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

1999 $ 16.61 $ 12.49 $ 1.82 $ 1.70
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.

2001 2000 1999
---- ---- -----
United States $6.25 $7.75 $6.31
Canada $3.57 $4.09 $3.20
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,
Wyoming, Utah, and West Virgina. 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 2001, the average price of oil that the Company
received was $20.97 compared to $25.32 for 2000, a price decrease of 17%.
Average gas prices received by the Company in 2001 were 4% lower than 2000
average gas prices. The average price of gas for 2001 was $2.89 compared to
$3.01 for 2000.
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:
Fiscal Year Ended December 31
------------------------------------
Crude Oil and Natural Gas Production: 2001 2000 1999
---------- --------- ----------
Oil (Bbls) ................... 109,000 97,000 114,000
Gas (Mcf) ..................... 2,187,000 1,790.00 1,970,000
Average sales prices:
Oil (per Bbl) ................ $ 20.97 $ 25.32 $ 14.95
Gas (per Mfc) ................. $ 2.89 $ 3.01 $ 1.77
Average production costs per BOE: . $ 5.24 $ 6.14 $ 4.90
15
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.
The company follows the accounting policy, generally known in the oil and
gas industry as "full cost accounting". Under full cost accounting all oil and
gas related costs incurred are accumulated in separate cost centers and are
amortized to depletion expense using the gross revenue method based on total
future estimated recoverable oil and gas reserves. For non oil and gas producing
assets, the Company evaluates impairment in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) No. 121.
The Company periodically reviews available for sale marketable securities
for other than temporary impairment in accordance with FASB No. 115, when the
cost basis of a security exceeds the market value.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 ("2001") COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
2000("2000")
Net income for the year ended December 31, was $452,000 in 2001 or $0.06
per share, compared to $1,224,000 or $0.15 per share in 2000. Net income in 2001
includes a one-time charge of $1,684,000 ($1,111,000 net of tax impact) for
write down of a marketable security due to a decline in market price below cost
levels. Excluding the impact of the one time charge, net income for 2001 would
have been $1,563,000 or $0.20 per share compared with net income of $1,224,000
in 2000 or $0.15 per share. The market price of the specific security has risen
from $2.10 per share at December 31, 2001 (the determination date of the
writedown) to $2.50 per share as of March 28, 2002.
Operating income in 2001 was $6,281,000 compared to $6,178,000 in 2000, an
increase of $103,000. This increase was due to higher revenue from oil & gas and
real estate operations, increased gains from sales of real estate assets
mitigated by higher deprecation, amortization and depletion charges.
Oil and gas revenues increased from $7,875,000 in 2000 to $8,534,000 in
2001. This increase was attributable to an increase in the production of crude
oil and gas. Average oil prices decreased from $25.32 per BBL in 2000 to $20.97
in 2001. Average gas prices decreased from $3.01 per MCF in 2000 to $2.89 in
2001.
Real estate revenues increased from $12,832,000 in 2000 to $14,095,000 in
2001. This increase was principally due to additional rental income resulting
from the purchase of additional properties in 2001.
Oil and gas production expense was higher in 2001 than 2000. Oil and gas
production expense amounted to $2,555,000 in 2001 and $2,224,000 in 2000. The
increased 2001 expense was primarily a result of cost increases and engineering
operations to increase production.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas assets amounted to
$2,894,000 in 2001 compared to $1,138,000 in 2000. This increase in depletion,
expense resulted from a decrease in value of the Company's reserves due to lower
oil and gas prices at December 31, 2001 versus December 31, 2000. Real estate
depreciation was $2,263,000 in 2001 compared to $2,126,000 in 2000.
16
General and administrative expense was comparable in 2001 and 2000. General
and administrative expense amounted to $1,690,000 in 2001 compared to $1,689,000
in 2000.
Interest expense increased from $4,419,000 in 2000 to $4,805,000 in 2001.
This increase is attributable to an increase in mortgage debt in 2001.
The provision for income taxes includes Federal, State and Canadian taxes.
Differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory income tax rates
are primarily due to foreign resource tax credits in Canada, and the dividend
exclusion in the United States.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000("2000") COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1999("1999")
Net income for the year ended December 31 was $1,224,000 in 2000 as
compared to $614,000 in 1999.
Operating income in 2000 was $6,178,000 compared to $4,461,000 in 1999, an
increase of 38%. This increase in operating income is due to higher energy
prices in 2000.
Oil and gas revenues increased from $5,238,000 in 1999 to $7,875,000 in
2000. This increase was attributable to a sharp increase in the price of crude
oil in 2000. Average oil prices increased from $14.95 per BBL in 1999 to $25.32
in 2000. Average gas prices increased from $1.76 per MCF in 1999 to $3.01 in
2000.
Real estate revenues increased from $12,484,000 in 1999 to $12,832,000 in
2000. This increase was principally due to higher rents.
Oil and gas production expense was higher in 2000 than 1999. Oil and gas
production expense amounted to $2,224,000 in 2000 and $2,003,000 in 1999,
primarily as a result of cost increases.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas assets amounted to
$1,138,000 in 2000 compared to $1,513,000 in 1999. This decrease in depletion
expense resulted from an increase in value of the Company's reserves due to
higher oil and gas prices. Real estate depreciation was $2,126,000 in 2000
compared to $2,073,000 in 1999.
General and administrative expense was comparable in 2000 and 1999. General
and administrative expense amounted to $1,689,000 in 2000 compared to $1,646,000
in 1999.
Interest expense increased from $3,944,000 in 1999 to $4,419,000 in 2000.
This increase is attributable to higher interest rates in 2000 and an increase
in short term loans.
The provision for income taxes includes Federal, state and Canadian taxes.
Differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory income tax rates
are primarily due to foreign resource tax credits in Canada, 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.
17
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2001 the Company had approximately $8.4 million in
marketable securities at cost, with a market value of approximately $10.4
million. The current ratio at December 31, 2001 was 1.4 to 1 on a market basis
and the Company's working capital was $5.1 million at December 31, 2001.
Management considers these amounts adequate for the Company's current business.
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, 2001, the Company acquired additional
real estate properties. 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, 2000, the Company refinanced $4,200,000
long-term debt on an apartment complex. No refinancing occurred in 2001. These
funds were borrowed on a long-term basis at favorable rates. The proceeds of
this loan was used to pay off the original first-mortgage loan and for
investment and working capital purposes.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $6,998,000,
$3,620,000 and $5,225,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, 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 $(11,182,000),
$(10,767,000) and $(2,821,000) in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
variations principally relate to purchases of real estate properties and
transactions in securities. Purchases of real estate properties amounted to
$8,194,000 in 2001. Proceeds from sales and redemptions of securities amounted
to $602,000 in 1999. Additionally, purchases of marketable securities amounted
to $5,000 in 2001, $4,355,000 in 2000 and $1,338,000 in 1999. Proceeds from
sales of real estate properties amounted to $1,602,000 in 1999, $691,000 in 2000
and $3,774,000 in 2001. The Company purchased $3,500,000 in mortgages notes in
2000. These mortgage notes were redeemed in 2001 and replaced by a new mortgage
note in the amount of $6,790,000 secured by 196 units in two contiguous
apartment complexes in Jersey City, New Jersey
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $6,376,000
$8,224,000, and $(5,094,000) in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
variations principally relate to the issuance, refinance, and repayments of
long-term debt. The Company has mortgage notes payable, notes payable and
revolving lines of credit with maturity dates ranging from 2002 to 2010.. 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.

-------- -------- -------- --------
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.
22
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, 2001, 2000 and 1999 are included in Note 9 of the Notes to

also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our

WILSHIRE OIL COMPANY OF TEXAS AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Wilshire Oil Company of Texas (the Company) is a diversified corporation
primarily engaged in oil and gas exploration and production and real estate
operations. The Company's oil and gas operations are conducted, both in its own
name and through several wholly-owned subsidiaries, 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,
Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming. In Canada, the Company conducts oil and gas
operations in the Provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan. Crude
oil and natural gas production is sold to oil refineries and natural gas
pipeline companies. The Company's real estate holdings are located in the states
of Arizona, Florida, New Jersey, Georgia and Texas. The Company also maintains
investments in marketable securities, which are available-for-sale.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant accounting policies followed by the Company and its subsidiaries are
as follows-
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany account balances and
transactions among subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting
principals generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash And Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include deposits with banks
having a maturity of three months or less from date of purchase.
Marketable Securities, Available-for-Sale
As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the marketable securities of the Company
consist primarily of equity securities, all of which are classified as
available-for-sale. These securities are carried at fair value based upon quoted
market prices. Unrealized gains and losses, representing differences between an
investment's cost and its fair value, are charged (credited) directly to
shareholders' equity, net of related income taxes, as a component of accumulated
comprehensive income (loss). The cost of securities sold is determined on a
specific identification basis. The Company periodically reviews
available-for-sale securities for other than temporary impairment when the cost
basis of a security exceeds the market value.
In 2001, the Company wrote down a marketable security held as available-for-sale
to fair value by $1,684,000 since the market value decline was determined to be
other than temporary.

WILSHIRE OIL COMPANY OF TEXAS AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Property And Equipment
Oil And Gas Properties
The Company follows the accounting policy, generally known in the oil and gas
industry as "full cost accounting". Under full cost accounting, the Company
capitalizes all costs, including interest costs, relating to the exploration for
and development of its mineral resources. Under this method, all costs incurred
in the United States and Canada are accumulated in separate cost centers and are
amortized using the gross revenue method based on total future estimated
recoverable oil and gas reserves.
Capitalized costs are subject to a "ceiling" test that limits such costs to the
aggregate of the estimated present value, using a discount rate of 10% of the
future net revenues of proved reserves and the lower of cost or fair value of
unproved properties. Management is of the opinion that, based on reserve reports
of petroleum engineers and geologists, the fair value of the estimated
recoverable oil and gas reserves exceeds the unamortized cost of oil and gas
properties at December 31, 2001 and 2000.
Real Estate And Other Properties
Real estate properties and other property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method using an estimated useful
life of 30 to 35 years for real estate buildings and at various rates based upon
the estimated useful lives of the other property and equipment.
As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, real estate properties consist of land with an
aggregate cost of $16,191,000 and $15,146,000, buildings with an aggregate cost
of $44,244,000 and $38,786,000 and furniture and fixtures with an aggregate cost
of $8,726,000 and $7,470,000, respectively.
Impairment of Property and Equipment
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS 121) for their non oil and gas producing assets. As of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company has determined that no impairment has
occurred in accordance with the measurement criteria prescribed by SFAS 121.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from oil and gas properties is recognized at the time these products are
delivered to third party purchasers. Revenue from real estate properties is
recognized during the period in which the premises are occupied and rent is due
from the tenant. Because revenues from both oil and gas and real estate
operations are collected in a relatively short period, no allowance is required
for uncollectible accounts.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). Under SFAS 109,
deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effect of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The primary temporary
differences are those related to tax over book depreciation, depletion, and
amortization and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities (see
Note 7).

Foreign Operations
The assets and liabilities of the Company's Canadian subsidiary have been
translated at year-end exchange rates, and the related revenues and expenses
have been translated at average annual exchange rates. The aggregate effect of
translation losses are reflected as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) until the sale or liquidation of the underlying
foreign investment.
Unremitted earnings of the Canadian subsidiary are intended to be permanently
invested in Canada and are subject to foreign taxes substantially equivalent to
United States Federal income taxes. The unremitted earnings on which the Company
has not been required to provide Federal income taxes amounted to approximately
$19,702,000 and $17,613,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS
123).
Net Income Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated based on the total weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and excludes any
dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted
earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that
were outstanding during the period.

4. MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE
During June 2000, the Company acquired mortgage notes receivable secured by
underlying property from The Trust Company for a fair value price of $3,500,000.
This transaction was financed in part with the $2,100,000 note payable discussed
in Note 3 (e) above. In 2001, the Company entered into an agreement whereby they
borrowed $3,200,000 from The Trust Company (included in mortgage notes payable
discussed in Note 3 (a) above) which was issued to a third party and redeemed
the mortgage notes acquired in 2000 in exchange for $6,790,000 of mortgage notes
receivable. Under this agreement, the Company has the right to receive proceeds
from the sale of the underlying property for which they received $218,000 in
2001.
5. LOAN PAYABLE TO SHAREHOLDER
During 2000, a shareholder loaned the Company $900,000, payable on demand at the
prime interest rate (4.75% at December 31, 2001). During 2001, the shareholder
loaned the Company an additional $300,000. At December 31, 2001, $700,000 was
outstanding under this loan. The Company repaid $200,000 to the shareholder in
January 2002.
6. STOCK OPTIONS
Under various stock option plans adopted prior to 1995, stock options to
purchase an aggregate of 26,764 shares of common stock were outstanding to
officers, key consultants and employees at December 31, 2001. No additional
options may be granted under these plans.
In June 1995, the Company adopted two new stock-based compensation plans (1995
Stock Option and Incentive Plan "Incentive Plan"; and 1995 Non-employee Director
Stock Option Plan "Director Plan") under which, up to 450,000 and 150,000
shares, respectively, are available for grant. During 1999, the Company granted
5,000 options, to purchase common stock under the Director Plan. No options were
granted under either plan during 2000 and 2001. At December 31, 2001, 3,090 and
82,100 options were outstanding under the Incentive Plan and Director Plan,
respectively.
The number and terms of the options granted under these plans are determined by
the Company's Stock Option Committee (the Committee) based on the fair market
value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The period during
which an option may be exercised varies, but no option may be exercised after
ten years from the date of grant.
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123. As permitted
by the statement, the Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based
compensation using the intrinsic value method. Accordingly, no compensation
expense has been recognized for its stock-based compensation plans. Had the
F-12

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
fair value method of accounting been applied to the Company's stock option
plans, which requires recognition of compensation cost ratably over the vesting
period of the underlying equity instruments, net income would have been reduced
by $0 with no per share effect in 2001, $6,000 with no per share effect in 2000,
and $49,000 with no per share effect in 1999. This pro forma impact only takes
into account options granted since January 1, 1995 and is likely to increase in
future years as additional options are granted and amortized ratably over the
vesting period. The average fair value of options granted during 1999 was $2.09.
The fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based
on the weighted average market price at grant date of $3.94 per share in 1999
and the following weighted average assumptions; risk-free interest rate of 6.19%
for 1999, volatility of 25.94% for 1999, and no dividend yield for 1999.

(a) At December 31, 2001, options outstanding include options ($1.00 to $6.51
per share) granted to certain employees and key consultants whereby the
initial option price as determined by the Committee is subject to reduction
(to a minimum of $1.00) by an amount equal to the increase in market value
from the date of grant. At December 31, 2001, the lowest outstanding option
price is $3.94 per share. Included in these options are options with
attached stock appreciation rights, pursuant to which the Company may elect
to grant cash, stock or a combination of cash and stock in lieu of the
stock appreciation value. Additional compensation attributable to these
options is charged to income or capitalized as exploration and development
costs over calculated periods of employment based on the duties performed
by the individuals awarded the options. During 2001, 2000 and 1999, $0, $0
and $69,000, respectively, was charged to operations, and $0, $0 and
$48,000, respectively, was charged to oil and gas properties relating to
such options.
As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, included in accrued liabilities is
$31,000 payable to certain individuals for stock appreciation rights. These
amounts are currently payable under certain conditions.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company's income tax returns for the State of Arizona are currently under
review by the local tax authorities for the years 1993 through 1998. The Company
believes that final settlement of its state tax liability for those years will
not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In June 1996 the Company's Board of Directors adopted the Stockholder Protection
Rights Plan (the Rights Plan). The Rights Plan provides for issuance of one
Right for each share of common stock outstanding as of July 6, 1996. The Rights
are separable from and exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering
events involving the acquisition of at least 15% (or, in the case of certain
existing stockholders, 25%) of the Company's common stock by an individual or
group, as defined in the Rights Plan (an Acquiring Person) and may be redeemed
by the Board of Directors at a redemption price of $0.01 per Right at any time
prior to the announcement by the Company that a person or group has become an
Acquiring Person.
As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, $7,880,888 and $7,975,988, respectively, of
Rights were outstanding. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase, for an
exercise price of $25, one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Participating
Preferred Stock. Each one one-hundredth share of Series A Participating
Preferred Stock is designed to have economic terms similar to those of one share
of common stock but will have one one-hundredth of a vote. Because the Rights
are only exercisable under certain conditions, none of which were in effect as
of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the outstanding Rights are not considered in the
computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.
The Company does not have significant lease commitments or post retirement
benefits.
