                     NOTES TO CONDENSED PRO FORMA COMBINED
                             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(a) Reflects the purchase of approximately 1,088,000 acres of timberland, a
    sawmill, and related assets and the assumption of certain related
    liabilities.  The assets purchased included approximately 542,000 acres
    of timberland and related assets that were concurrently sold pursuant to
    separate agreements with three designees for an aggregate purchase price
    of $641,000,000, and which are reflected herein as "Assets held for
    sale."

(b) Reflects the sale of approximately 486,000 acres of timberland and
    related assets contemplated by the separate  designee agreements in
    transactions consummated concurrently with the consummation of the asset
    purchase described in Note (a).  Approximately 56,000 acres of timberland
    and related assets remain to be conveyed to one designee for
    approximately $197,860,000.

(c) Reflects an escrow deposit applied to the payment of the purchase price
    which the Company had previously recorded in "Timber, timberlands and
    related facilities."


(d) Reflects the $1,100,000,000 loan obtained as the primary funding of the
    asset purchase.  The loan was made under a Credit Agreement between the
    Company and a group of banks providing for a revolving loan and a term
    loan.  The revolving loan provides for borrowings of up to $1,000,000,000
    in principal amount to mature on May 15, 2001, and had an initial
    outstanding principal balance of $500,000,000.  The term loan is in the
    principal amount of $600,000,000 to mature on May 15, 1998.  The initial
    weighted average interest rates per annum for indebtedness outstanding
    under the revolving loan and the term loan are 5.75% and 5.72%,
    respectively.  The amount of $200,000,000 reflected in "Current debt"
    corresponds to the anticipated sale of "Assets held for sale" discussed
    in Note (b) above and concurrent pay down of a portion of the term loan
    upon such sale with the net proceeds therefrom as required by the Credit
    Agreement.  Interest expense does not include any adjustments for
    interest on debt attributable to the "Assets held for sale" as these
    costs are reimbursable expenses pursuant to the agreement with the
    purchaser.

(e) Reflects excess loan proceeds.

(f) Excluded from the initial purchase price are post closing purchase price
    adjustments, which, at June 10, 1996, approximate an additional
    $10,000,000, including approximately $7,000,000 for inventories.

(g) Reflects additional timber depletion and road amortization expense
    attributable to the increase in the cost basis for the Company, as
    compared to Cavenham, of timber and roads as a result of the purchase
    transaction.

(h) Reflects the increase in interest expense related to the increase in debt
    discussed in Note (d) above.

(i) Reflects the related tax effects of the pro forma adjustments at the
    Company's effective tax rate.
