                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




Net  income for the first  quarter of 1996 was $58.5  million or $.85 per share,
compared  to $105.0  million  or $1.50 per share for the first  quarter  of last
year.  The  significant  earnings  decrease  reflects the continued  unfavorable
pricing climate in both the domestic and export paper products  markets.  During
the first  quarter,  these  markets  continued  to be  negatively  effected by a
sluggish  economy  and a slowing  of demand  due to  customers  adjusting  their
inventory levels downward,  which reduced average selling prices from the record
levels  achieved  in mid 1995.  Operating  income  for the  quarter  was  $127.6
million,  a 37% decrease from the $201.3 million  reported for last year's first
quarter.

Net sales for the first quarter were $978 million,  4% below the previous year's
comparable  quarter.   Total  paper  product  shipments  for  the  quarter  were
approximately  854,000 tons, a 6% decline from last year's first quarter.  Lower
selling prices for the company's  paper and packaging  products and a decline in
shipments of linerboard and corrugated  containers were the primary contributors
to the decrease.

Operating income for the paper and paperboard  segment was $104.7 million, a 37%
decrease  from the $165.8  million  reported for the first quarter of last year.
Lower average selling prices and marginally higher  manufacturing  costs per ton
at the company's paper mills were the primary reasons for this earnings decline.
Both the domestic  and foreign  paper  products  markets  experienced  a decline
towards the end of last year,  due to a sluggish  economy and customers  working
down  inventories  built earlier in 1995.  This trend  continued  into the first
quarter of this year, which negatively  effected average selling prices for both
domestic and export  linerboard and uncoated  business papers.  For the quarter,
average prices for the company's  linerboard and uncoated  business  papers were
down 11% and 6%,  respectively,  compared to last  year's  first  quarter.  As a
result of the slowness in the market, the company took approximately 55,000 tons
of market-related linerboard downtime during the first quarter.

Packaging  segment  operating  income was $12.6 million for the first quarter of
1996, compared to $21 million for last year's comparable  quarter.  The domestic
corrugated container operations were the primary contributors to the lower level
of earnings  for the  segment.  Higher raw  material  costs and an 8% decline in
shipments  from the first quarter of last year more than offset a 5% increase in
average  selling  prices.  First quarter  earnings  from the company's  overseas
container  operations  decreased   substantially  over  last  year's  comparable
quarter.  Earnings for the flexible packaging  operations  improved 21% over the
first quarter of last year,  primarily  attributable  to overall cost reductions
and higher average selling prices.

The company's non-paper  businesses reported a 31% decrease in operating income,
compared to last year's first  quarter.  The wood products  operations  were the
primary  contributors to  this  decline,  reporting  operating  income  of  $5.4
million, 65% below the first quarter oflast year, reflecting a downward trend in
selling  prices,  in  addition  to  higher wood costs for the quarter. Operating
income for the chemical segment was $17.2 million for the  quarter,  compared to
$17.6  million for  last year's first quarter.  Despite continued strong results
for  the Bush Boake Allen flavor and fragrance operations,  higher manufacturing
costs  at  the company's tall- oil-based chemical business slightly offset these
gains.

Depreciation  expense increased 2% in the first quarter of 1996 from last year's
comparable period, primarily attributable to the start up of the recovery boiler
at the Savannah mill at the end of the first quarter of last year.

Cash flow from  operations  for the first  quarter of 1996 was  $140.6  million,
compared to $130.1 million for last year's comparable  period.  The increase was
primarily  due to a  decrease  in  working  capital,  partially  offset by lower
earnings for the first quarter of this year. Capital  expenditures for the first
quarter  totaled  $127.2  million,  compared to $61.7  million  last year.  This
increase is attributable to a large timberland  acquisition in early 1996. Total
debt  increased  $61  million  during  the  first  quarter  of  1996,  primarily
attributable to increased  commercial paper  borrowings.  The ratio of long-term
debt to total capital was 29.4% at March 31, 1996, compared to 29.7% at year-end
1995.

Net working  capital was $408.6  million at March 31,  1996,  compared to $459.7
million at  year-end  1995.  The  decrease  in  working  capital  was  primarily
attributable to an increase in short-term commercial paper borrowings at the end
of the first quarter.

In April 1996,  the company  entered into a definitive  agreement to acquire the
outstanding  shares  of The  Alling  & Cory  Company  (Alling  &  Cory)  a paper
distribution  business,  for a  combination  of  company  common  stock and cash
totaling  approximately $89 million. Alling & Cory had net sales of $764 million
in 1995. The acquisition is  subject  to  approval by Alling & Cory stockholders
and is expected to close mid-year 1996.

        SECTION 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders for
the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may
properly come before the meeting shall be held at such time, and at such place,
either within or without the State of Virginia, as may be designated in the
notice thereof, on the last Tuesday in April of each year if not a legal
holiday, but if a legal holiday, then on the next succeeding business day.

        At the annual meeting of stockholders, only such business shall be
conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting (a) by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) by any stockholder of the
Corporation who shall be entitled to vote at such meeting and who complies with
the procedures set forth in this Section 1.

        In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business,
including the nomination of one or more persons for election as Directors, to be
properly brought before the annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder
must have given timely advance written notice thereof to the Secretary of the
Corporation. The Secretary shall deliver timely received notices to the Board of
Directors or a committee designated by the Board for review. To be timely, a

day established in accordance with this Section as the day of the annual meeting
of stockholders. In calculating days in advance of the


                                       3

<PAGE>

annual meeting, the day of such annual meeting shall not be included so that
stockholders shall begin counting with the day immediately preceding the day of
the annual meeting which, for purposes of such calculation, shall be one day in
advance of the annual meeting.

        A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each
matter of business the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting:
(a) a description of the business intended to be brought before the annual
meeting, including the text of any resolution to be presented, and the reasons
for conducting such business at the annual meeting; (b) the name and address of
the stockholder proposing such business; (c) a representation that the
stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote
at the annual meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting
to bring the business specified in the notice before the meeting; (d) the class
and number of shares of stock of the Corporation owned (i) of record and (ii)
beneficially by the stockholder; and (e) any material interest of the
stockholder in the business to be brought before the meeting.

        A stockholder's notice of intent to make a nomination of one or more
persons for election as Directors at the annual meeting of stockholders shall,
in addition to the information required above, set forth as to each such person:
(a) the name, age and business and residence addresses of the person; (b) the
principal occupation or employment of the person; (c) the class and number of

made by the stockholder; (e) such other information regarding the person as
would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to

nominated by the Board of Directors; and (f) the written consent of the person
to serve as a Director of the Corporation if so elected. The Corporation may
require any stockholder proposing to nominate one or more persons for election
as Directors to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by
the Corporation to determine the eligibility of each such person to serve as a
Director of the Corporation.

        In the event a stockholder attempts to bring business before the annual
meeting without complying with the provisions of this Section 1, the presiding
officer of the meeting shall determine and declare to the meeting that the
business was not properly brought before the meeting, and such business shall
not be transacted.

        SECTION 2. Special Meeting. Special meetings of the stockholders for any
purpose or purposes may be held at any time and at any place, within or without
the State of Virginia, designated in the call thereof, whenever called by the
Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the President, or as otherwise
provided by law.

        SECTION 3. Notice. Written notice of every annual or special meeting of
the stockholders, stating the place, day and hour and purpose or purposes
thereof, shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat,
either personally or by mailing the notice to him at his address as it appears
on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. Where such notice of a
stockholders' meeting includes as a purpose thereof action with respect to an
amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or a reduction of stated capital or a
plan of merger or consolidation, such notice shall be given in the manner
hereinabove provided, but at least 25 and not more than 50 days before the date
of any such meeting and any such notice shall be


                                       5

or consolidation.

        SECTION 4. Quorum. A quorum at any meeting of the stockholders shall
consist of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, present
in person or by proxy, unless otherwise required by law or the Articles of
Incorporation. If at the time and place of the meeting there is present less
than a quorum, a majority of the stock present in person or by proxy and
entitled to vote, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time
without notice until a quorum is secured, and thereupon any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

        SECTION 5. Organization. All meetings of the stockholders shall be
presided over by the Chairman of the Board, or in his absence, by the President,
or in his absence, by the Chairman of the Executive Committee. In case none of
such officers of the Corporation shall be present, a chairman shall be elected
by the vote of a majority of the stock present in person or by proxy entitled to
vote. The Secretary of the Corporation or an Assistant Secretary shall act as
secretary of every such meeting when present, and in the absence of either, the
presiding officer may appoint any other officer of the Corporation to act as
Secretary.

        SECTION 6. Inspectors. At any annual or special meeting of stockholders,
inspectors of election may be appointed by the presiding officer of the meeting
for the purpose of opening and closing the polls, receiving and taking charge of
proxies, and receiving and counting the ballots or the votes of stockholders
otherwise given and shall in writing certify to the returns. No candidate for

        SECTION 1. Number, Vacancy. The property, business and affairs of the
Corporation shall be managed by a Board of 11 directors. Except as otherwise
provided by law or in these By-laws or in the Articles of Incorporation, the
directors shall be elected by the stockholders at each annual meeting of
stockholders and shall serve until the next succeeding annual meeting and until
their successors shall have been elected. In the event of any vacancy in the
directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, an increase by
thirty percent (30%) or less in the number of directors last elected by the
stockholders, or other cause, the remaining directors, although less than a
quorum, by an affirmative vote of a majority thereof, may fill such vacancy.

        SECTION 2. Regular Meeting. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors
shall be held, either within or without the State of Virginia, as shall from
time to time be determined by the Board of Directors. After there has been such
determination and notice thereof has been given to each member of the Board of
Directors, no further notice shall be required for any such regular meeting. The
annual meeting of the Board of Directors may be held, without notice, on the
same day as and after the annual meeting of the stockholders.

        SECTION 3. Special Meeting. Special meetings of the Board of Directors
shall be held, either within or without the State of Virginia, upon the order of
the Board, or the call of the Chairman of the Board, the President, or three

<PAGE>

mailing the same at least two days before the meeting or by telegraphing or
telephoning the same prior to the meeting.

        SECTION 4. Quorum. A majority of the number of directors fixed by these
By-laws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business except as
otherwise provided by law or the Articles of Incorporation or these By-laws, but

secured.

        SECTION 5. Compensation. The Board of Directors shall have the authority
to fix the compensation of the directors and of members of the Executive
Committee and of other committees of the Board.

        SECTION 6.    Indemnification of Officers, Directors and Employees.

        (a) Each director and officer of the Corporation shall be indemnified by
the Corporation against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by or imposed
upon him in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to
which he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director or
officer of the Corporation (whether or not he continues to be a director or
officer at the time of incurring such cost or expense), except in relation to
matters as to which a recovery shall be had against him by reason of his having
been finally adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to have been derelict
in the performance of his duty as such director or officer. The foregoing
qualification shall not, however, prevent a settlement by the Corporation prior
to final adjudication when such settlement appears to be in the interest of the
Corporation. The right of indemnification herein provided shall not be


                                       8
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

exclusive of other rights to which any director or officer may be entitled as a
matter of law. (Adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation March 3, 1942.)

               (b)    As used in the following subsections of this Section 6:

                      "Applicant" means the person seeking indemnification
pursuant to this Section.

                      "Expenses" includes counsel fees.

                      "Liability" means the obligation to pay a judgment,
settlement, penalty, fine, including any excise tax assessed with respect to an
employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a
proceeding.

                      "Official capacity" means, (i) when used with respect to a
director, the office of director in the Corporation; or (ii) when used with
respect to an individual other than a director, the office in the Corporation
held by the officer or the employment or agency relationship undertaken by the
employee or agent on behalf of the Corporation.

                      "Official capacity" does not include service for any other
foreign or domestic corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan, or other enterprise.

                      "Party" includes an individual who was, is, or is
threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding.

                      "Proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed
action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or

               (c) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director, trustee, partner, officer or employee of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise, against any liability incurred by him in connection with such
proceeding if (i) he believed, in the case of conduct in his official capacity,
that his conduct was in the best interests of the Corporation, and in all other
cases that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests, and, in
the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful, (ii) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of
the Corporation, he was not adjudged liable to the Corporation, and (iii) in
connection with any proceeding charging improper benefit to him, whether or not
involving action in his official capacity, he was not adjudged liable on the
basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him. A person is
considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the corporation's request
if his duties to the corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve
services by, him to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan.
A person's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose he
believed to be in the interests of the participants and beneficiaries of the
plan is conduct that satisfies the requirements of this subsection.

               (d) The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall not of itself create a presumption that the applicant did not meet the
standard of conduct described in subsection (c) of this Section.

                                       10

               (e) To the extent that the applicant has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in subsection (c)
of this Section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall
be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith.

               (f) Any indemnification under subsection (c) of this Section
(unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized
in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the applicant
is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in subsection (c).

                      The determination shall be made:

               (i) By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors not at the time parties to the proceeding;

               (ii) If a quorum cannot be obtained under paragraph (i) of this
subsection, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of
Directors (in which designation directors who are parties may participate),
consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the
proceeding;

               (iii)  By special legal counsel:

                      (A) Selected by the Board of Directors or its committee in
the manner prescribed in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this subsection; or

                      (B) If a quorum of the Board of Directors cannot be
obtained under paragraph (i) of this subsection and a committee cannot be
designated under paragraph (ii) of this subsection, selected by majority vote of
the full Board of Directors, in which selection directors who are parties may
participate; or

                                       11
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

               (iv) By the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the
control of directors who are at the time parties to the proceeding may not be
voted on the determination.

               Authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to
reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination
that indemnification is permissible, except that if the determination is made by
special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to
reasonableness of expenses shall be made by those entitled under paragraph (iii)
of this subsection to select counsel.

               (g) (i) The Corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable
expenses incurred by any applicant who is a party to a proceeding in advance of
final disposition of the proceeding if:

               (A) The applicant furnishes the Corporation a written statement
of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct described in
subsection (c);

               (B) The applicant furnishes the Corporation a written
undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to repay the advance if it is
ultimately determined that he did not meet the standard of conduct; and

               (C) A determination is made that the facts then known to those
making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this Section.

        (ii) The undertaking required by subparagraph (B) of paragraph (i) of
this subsection shall be an unlimited general obligation of the applicant but
need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability
to make repayment.

        (iii) Determinations and authorizations of payments under this
subsection shall be made in the manner specified in subsection (f).

of a quorum of disinterested directors, to cause the Corporation to indemnify or
contract in advance to indemnify any person not specified in subsection (c) of
this Section who was or is a party to any proceeding, by reason of the fact that
he is or was an agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as an agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, to the same extent as if such
person were specified as one to whom indemnification is granted in subsection
(c). The provisions of subsections (d) through (g) of this Section shall be
applicable to any indemnification provided hereafter pursuant to this subsection
(h).

               (i) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to
indemnify it against the whole or any portion of the liability assumed by it in
accordance with this Section and may also procure insurance, in such amounts as
the Board of Directors may determine, on behalf of any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise, against any liability asserted against or incurred by him in
any such capacity or arising from his status as such, whether or not the
Corporation would have power to indemnify him against such liability under the
provisions of this Section.

               (j) The Board of Directors is hereby empowered to cause the
Corporation to contract in advance to indemnify any person specified in
subsection (c) of this Section provided that such contract does not permit
indemnification if the proposed indemnitee failed to meet the standard of
conduct set forth in subsection (c).

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

               (k) Every reference herein to directors, officers, employees or
agents shall include former directors, officers, employees and agents and their
respective heirs, executors and administrators. The indemnification hereby
provided and provided hereafter pursuant to the power hereby conferred on the
Board of Directors shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which any
person may be entitled, including any right under policies of insurance that may
be purchased and maintained by the Corporation or others, with respect to
claims, issues or matters in relation to which the Corporation would not have
the power to indemnify such person under the provisions of this Section.

               (l) For the purposes of this Section, references to the
"Corporation" include all constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation
or merger as well as the resulting or surviving corporation so that any person
who is or was a director, officer or employee of such a constituent corporation
or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a
director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under the
provisions of this Section with respect to the resulting or surviving
corporation as he would if he had served the resulting or surviving corporation
in the same capacity.

               (m) If any part of this Section 6 shall be found, in any claim,
action, suit or proceeding, to be invalid or ineffective, the validity and the
effect of the remaining parts shall not be affected.

        SECTION 7. Executive Committee. The Board of Directors may, by a
resolution adopted by a majority of the number of directors fixed by these
By-laws, appoint an Executive Committee to consist of two or more directors as

a resolution adopted by a majority of the directors present at a meeting at

directors for any purpose or purposes, to the extent lawful, which shall have
such powers as shall be determined and specified by the Board of Directors in
the resolution of appointment. Meetings of any such committees shall be held

        SECTION 9. Action Without a Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by law
or the Articles of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken
at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be
taken without a meeting if a written consent, setting forth the action so to be
taken, shall be signed by all of the directors or all of the members of the
committee, as the case may be. Action taken under this Section is effective when
the last director signs the consent unless the consent specifies a different
effective date, in which event the action taken is effective as of the date
specified therein provided the consent states the date of execution by each
director.

        SECTION l0. Termination of Committee Membership. In the event any person

simultaneously therewith cease to be a member of any committee.

created, such office may be filled at any meeting of the Board of Directors.

        Each officer shall hold office until his successor is duly elected, or
until his earlier death, resignation or removal, provided that the terms of
