- -------------------
Note 1: Other (income) expense -- net for the twelve months ended December 31,
1995 includes gains of $89 million from the sales of certain operations
in Canada and charges of $68 million primarily for the writedown of
certain U.S. paper and wood products assets. The three months and twelve
months ended December 31, 1994 includes a gain of $16 million from the
sale of certain assets and income of $19 million from a refund due on
countervailing duties on lumber exports from Canada into the United
States in prior years.
Note 2: Earnings per share was calculated for each three month and twelve month
period on a stand-alone basis. On June 22, 1995 the company purchased
all 7,894,737 shares of Common Stock that were issued on that date upon
conversion of the $92.50 Convertible Preference Stock. On June 27, 1995
the company called all $149,893,000 of its 6 1/2% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due April 15, 2011 for redemption on August 8,
1995. Virtually all of the Debentures were converted into an aggregate
of 4,309,070 shares of common stock during the third quarter. The
company purchased an additional 3,186,000 shares of common stock at
various times during 1995. As a result of all of these transactions, the
sum of the earnings per share for the four quarters of 1995 does not
equal the earnings per share for the twelve months ended December 31,
1995.
