          Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements

                      For the Year Ended December 31, 1998


Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

  The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements of The Wiser Oil
  Company for the year ended December 31, 1998 has been prepared to give effect
  to the sale of virtually all of the Company's U.S. royalty interests and all
  of its oil and gas properties located in Appalachia (the "Appalachia and
  Minerals Properties"). The U.S. royalty interests were sold to Prince
  Minerals, Ltd. on April 21, 1999 for $10,000,000, before fees and adjustments,
  and the Appalachia properties were sold to Columbia Natural Resources on May
  12, 1999 for $28,000,000, before fees and adjustments. The net proceeds
  received by the Company from the sale of the Appalachia and Minerals
  Properties were $36,187,000 and the Company recognized a gain on the sale of
  $3,918,000.

  The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements included herein are not
  necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the
  transactions taken place on the dates assumed for pro forma presentations and
  are not intended to be a projection of future results. Future results may vary
  significantly from the results reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro
  forma condensed statements because of normal production declines, changes in
  product prices, future acquisitions and divestitures, future development and
  exploration activities and other factors.

  The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements should be read in
  conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of The Wiser Oil
  Company included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
  31, 1998.

  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the
  year ended December 31, 1998 is presented as if the sale of the Appalachia and
  Minerals Properties occurred on January 1, 1998 and the unaudited condensed
  consolidated balance sheet is presented as if the sale of the Appalachia and
  Minerals Properties occurred on December 31, 1998.

  The column labeled "The Company" represents the condensed consolidated
  statement of income of The Wiser Oil Company for the year ended December 31,
  1998 and the condensed consolidated balance sheet of The Wiser Oil Company at
  December 31, 1998. The column labeled "Appalachia and Mineral Properties"
  represents the results of operations of the sold properties for the year ended
  December 31, 1998 prior to their sale in 1999.

Note 2.  Estimated Quantities of Proved Reserves

  Following is a summary of the proved oil and gas reserves and standardized
  measure of discounted future net cash flows of proved oil and gas reserves at
  December 31, 1998. The column labeled "The Company" represents the proved oil
  and gas reserves information of The Wiser Oil Company at December 31, 1998 and
  the column labeled "Pro Forma" represents such reserve information without the
  Appalachia and Minerals Properties.

3.  Pro Forma Adjustments

    Following are descriptions of the pro forma adjustments used in the
    preparation of the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed financial
    statements:

    (A)  Pro forma adjustment to recognize interest income earned on the net
         cash receipts from the sale of the Appalachia and Minerals Properties.
         Interest income was computed using the monthly average interest rates
         realized in 1998 ranging from 4.9% to 5.5%. Net cash receipts were
         computed using the net proceeds of $36,187,000 less repayments of long-
         term debt during 1998 as follows:

                         May               $8,500,000
                         June               1,500,000
                         July               2,000,000
                         September          3,000,000
                         November           6,000,000
                                         ------------
                                         $ 21,000,000
                                         ============

    (B)  Pro forma adjustment to reduce interest expense for repayment of
         $21,000,000 of long-term debt.

    (C)  Pro forma adjustment to recognize the net proceeds of $36,187,000 from
         the sale of the Appalachia and Minerals Properties and the use of
         $21,000,000 of the net proceeds to repay long-term debt, as if the
         transaction had occurred on December 31, 1998.

    (D)  Pro forma adjustment to remove the December 31, 1998 net cost basis of
         the Appalachia and Minerals Properties.
