PART I
Item 1. Business
INTRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENTS IN 1993
Pope & Talbot is engaged principally in the wood products and pulp and
paper businesses. The Company's wood products business involves the
manufacture and sale of standardized and specialty lumber and wood chips. In
its pulp and paper business, the Company manufactures and sells a full line of
private label consumer tissue and disposable diaper products, bleached kraft
pulp for newsprint and writing paper, and brokers wood chips. During 1993,
wood products accounted for approximately 48 percent of the Company's revenues,
consumer tissue accounted for 17 percent, disposable diapers 27 percent and
bleached kraft pulp and brokered wood chips 8 percent.
The Company, a Delaware corporation, was originally incorporated as a
California corporation in 1940. It is the successor to a partnership formed in
San Francisco, California in 1849 that acquired its first timberlands and
opened a lumber mill in the Seattle, Washington area in 1853. Subsequently,
the Company developed a lumber business based on timberland and facilities in
the U.S. Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, Canada, and the Black Hills
region of South Dakota and Wyoming.
Since the mid-1980s, the Company has reduced its dependency on timber
from the Pacific Northwest, where environmental concerns about the preservation
of old-growth forests have sharply restricted the availability and increased
the cost of public timber. At the same time, the Company has increased its
operations in regions of more stable timber supplies, particularly in British
Columbia and the Black Hills region of South Dakota and Wyoming. In 1985, the
Company distributed its timber and land development properties in the State of
Washington to its stockholders through interests in a newly formed master
limited partnership. In 1990, the Company sold its Oregon sawmill, and the
Company has since sold its remaining Oregon timberlands. In 1992, the Company
acquired a 225 million board feet capacity sawmill and related timber cutting
rights in Castlegar, British Columbia. The Company currently operates six
sawmills with an estimated annual capacity of 785 million board feet, of which
approximately 80% is located in British Columbia and the Black Hills.
In order to expand and broaden its sources of revenue, the Company
acquired its pulp, consumer tissue and disposable diaper businesses in the late
1970s and 1980s. The Halsey, Oregon pulp mill produces bleached kraft pulp
which is sold in the open market and to newsprint and writing paper
manufacturers in the Pacific Northwest. The Company's private label tissue
business manufactures towels, napkins, bathroom tissue and facial tissue from
recycled paper at two mills in the U.S. Disposable diapers are produced by the
Company at four mills in the U.S. The Company sells its tissue and diaper
products under private labels to supermarkets, drugstores, mass merchandisers
and food and drug distribution companies. In 1992, the Company commenced a
program to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies in these businesses,
resulting in the consolidation of one tissue mill and one diaper plant. The
Company is also presently in the process of making significant product and cost
improvements to its pulp mill.

<PAGE> 3
The businesses in which the Company is engaged are extremely
competitive, and a number of the Company's competitors are substantially larger
than the Company with correspondingly greater resources. In particular,
competition in the tissue products and disposable diaper markets is extremely
strong, both in terms of price and product innovation. See "Pulp and Paper
Products Business - Paper Products."
Environmental regulations to which the Company is subject require the
Company from time to time to incur significant expenditures. In addition, as
discussed herein, environmental concerns have in the past materially affected
the availability and cost of raw materials used in the Company's business. See
"Wood Products Business."
WOOD PRODUCTS BUSINESS
The Company's wood products business involves the manufacture and sale
of standardized and specialty lumber and wood chips. The Company's principal
wood product categories and the sales generated by each over the past three
years are set forth in the following table:
<TABLE>

======= ======= =======
</TABLE>
In 1993, lumber revenues increased $80.3 million, or 45 percent,
compared with 1992. These increased revenues in 1993 were due mainly to higher
lumber sales prices, but also to greater lumber sales volumes due to operating
the Castlegar, British Columbia sawmill throughout 1993. In 1992, lumber
revenues increased $56.2 million, or 47 percent, compared with 1991. These
increased revenues were due to higher lumber sales volume, primarily from the
second quarter acquisition of the Castlegar, British Columbia sawmill, combined
with higher lumber sales prices.
The Company's lumber products consist principally of boards and
dimension lumber, some of which are specialty, value-added items, such as
stress-rated lumber. Wood chips and other similar materials are obtained as a
by-product of the Company's lumber operations. Wood chips are also obtained
from direct chipping of whole logs.
The principal sources of raw material for the Company's wood products
operations are timber obtained through long-term cutting licenses on public
lands, logs purchased in open log markets, timber offered for sale via
competitive bidding by federal and state agencies and private sources, and
timber purchased under long-term contracts to cut timber on private and public
lands.
Approximately 80% of the Company's current lumber capacity is located in
regions of relatively stable timber supply, namely Canada and the Black Hills
region of South Dakota and Wyoming. In Canada, timber requirements are
obtained primarily from the Provincial Government of British Columbia under
long-term timber harvesting licenses which allow the Company to remove timber
from defined areas annually on a sustained yield basis. Approximately 15
3
<PAGE> 4
percent of the Company's Canadian log requirements are satisfied through open
market log purchases. In the Black Hills, the Company obtains its timber from
various public and private sources under long-term timber harvesting contracts
in addition to buying logs on open markets. Under these licenses and
contracts, prices are subject to periodic adjustment based upon formulas set
forth therein. Additionally, the Provincial Government of British Columbia has
the authority to modify prices and harvest volumes at any time. In the
Northwest, the Company obtains its timber primarily via competitive bidding on
timber offered by federal and state agencies and private sources. Decreased
availability of federal timber caused primarily by pressures from
environmental groups to curtail harvests from public lands, thereby protecting
old-growth forests, combined with strong export demand for logs, has resulted
in reduced wood supplies in Oregon and Washington, particularly affecting the
Company's Port Gamble sawmill. The Northwest's highly competitive log supply
environment caused the Company to reduce production at its Port Gamble sawmill
to 74% of capacity in 1993. Although no assurances can be given, the Company
believes that purchases from public agencies and private sources, in addition
to its existing long-term cutting rights, will be adequate to sustain current
lumber production levels at the Company's sawmills, with the exception of Port
Gamble which will continue to operate based upon log availability.
Marketing and Distribution. The Company's lumber products are sold
primarily to wholesalers. Wood chips produced by the Company's sawmills are
sold to manufacturers of pulp and paper in the U.S. and Canada. Sales of logs
are made to other domestic forest products companies and to international
trading companies.
Marketing of the Company's wood products is centralized in its Portland,
Oregon offices. The Company does not have distribution facilities at the
wholesale or retail level. The Company sold wood products to numerous
customers during 1993, the ten largest of which accounted for approximately 32%
of total wood products sales. No wood products customer accounted for more
than 10% of the Company's revenues in 1993.
Backlog. The Company maintains a minimal finished goods inventory of
wood products. At December 31, 1993, orders were approximately $11.2 million,
compared with approximately $8.9 million at December 31, 1992. This was an
average order file for the Company and generally would be shipped in two weeks
to one month. The increase from 1992 to 1993 reflects increased lumber sales
prices.
Competition. The wood products industry is highly competitive, with a
large number of companies producing products that are reasonably standardized.
There are numerous competitors of the Company that are of comparable size or
larger, none of which is believed to be dominant. With the 1992 Castlegar
sawmill acquisition, the Company believes it is one of the larger lumber
producers in North America. The principal means of competition in the
Company's wood products business are pricing and an ability to satisfy customer
demands for various types and grades of lumber and other finished products.
For further information regarding amounts of revenue, operating profit
and loss and identifiable assets attributable to the wood products industry
segment, see Note 11 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the
Company's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

PULP AND PAPER PRODUCTS BUSINESS
The Company's principal pulp and paper products categories and the sales
generated by each over the last three years are set forth in the following
table:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Thousands
----------------------------
Classes of Pulp and Paper Products 1993 1992 1991

------- ------- -------
Total pulp and paper products sales $328,891 $330,178 $349,258
======= ======= =======
</TABLE>
Pulp and paper revenues were essentially unchanged from 1992 to 1993 as
increased disposable diaper revenues were offset by lower tissue and pulp
revenues. The improved diaper revenues resulted from a 21 percent increase in
sales volume. Tissue and pulp volumes were off approximately 8 percent and 28
percent, respectively, from 1992 to 1993, while tissue prices dropped 1 percent
and pulp prices fell 12 percent during this same period. Pulp and paper
revenues decreased $19.1 million, or 5 percent, from 1991 to 1992, due mainly
to tissue and pulp volume and price reductions. From 1991 to 1992, tissue and
pulp volumes fell approximately 12 percent and 8 percent, respectively, while
prices dropped 6 percent for tissue and 9 percent for pulp. Diaper
improvements from 1991 to 1992 only partially offset the tissue and pulp
reductions as diaper volumes and average prices increased 10 percent and 6
percent, respectively.
1. PAPER PRODUCTS
The Company produces a full line of private label consumer tissue
products including towels, napkins, bathroom tissue, and facial tissue. The
Company also produces disposable diapers. All of these products are sold under
private and controlled labels.
The raw material for the Company's tissue mills is wastepaper purchased
from wastepaper dealers located in the upper Midwest, mid- Atlantic and, to a
lesser extent, on the East Coast. The principal raw material for disposable
diapers is fluff pulp, which is produced by pulp and paper manufacturers
throughout the United States. The Company believes that there will continue to
be an adequate supply of wastepaper and fluff pulp in the foreseeable future.
Marketing and Distribution. The Company utilizes its own sales force
and some retail consumer products brokers to sell its products to supermarkets,
drugstores, mass merchandisers and food and drug distribution companies. The
Company's products enjoy national distribution; however, the majority are sold
east of the Rocky Mountains. Sales to the Company's ten largest paper products
customers represented 54 percent of tissue products and diaper sales in 1993.
No single paper products customer accounted for 10 percent or more of total
Company revenues in 1993.
Backlog. The Company carries a minimal finished goods inventory in
tissue products and disposable diapers. At the end of 1993 the order file was
approximately $13.3 million compared to a backlog of approximately $7.9 million
at December 31, 1992. The higher order backlog at year-end 1993 than
5
<PAGE> 6
year-end 1992 relates to timing of order receipts and is not indicative of a
business trend. This backlog is generally shipped in less than one month.
Competition. The tissue market is extremely competitive, with
approximately 10 major producers. Of these, James River Corporation, Scott
Paper Company, Procter & Gamble Corporation and Fort Howard Paper Company are
dominant and account for approximately 64 percent of the market. Within the
tissue market, the Company estimates that the private label tissue segment
accounts for approximately 9 percent to 22 percent of the total, depending on
the product.
In the tissue business, continued low industry operating rates resulting
from industry capacity increases in recent years which have exceeded demand
growth, coupled with aggressive pricing by tissue producers, has resulted in an
extremely competitive tissue pricing environment. The Company's tissue mills
operated at 97 percent of capacity in 1993. Overall, prices for the Company's
tissue have fallen an average 13 percent from 1989 when tissue prices first
began to decline. This 13 percent price reduction includes decreases of 6
percent in 1992 and 1 percent in 1993.
Of the disposable diaper market, the Company estimates that
approximately 82 percent is in branded products, with the remaining 18 percent
relating to private label products. There are four major producers in the
disposable diaper business. Procter & Gamble and Kimberly- Clark are dominant
with a combined 76 percent of the market, all of which is in branded products.
Paragon Trade Brands, Inc. is the largest producer in the private label market
segment, followed by the Company with approximately 4 percent of the disposable
diaper market.
National branded manufacturers have introduced numerous and frequent
product innovations that have resulted in major improvements in infant
disposable diaper absorbency, leakage prevention and fit. The national branded
manufacturers have substantially larger research and development budgets than
the Company and are able to develop product innovations more rapidly than the
Company and may thereby gain market share at the Company's expense. While in
recent years the Company has been able to introduce product enhancements
comparable to those introduced by the national branded manufacturers, there can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to introduce
comparable product innovations on a profitable basis or that the Company will
continue to be able to introduce such product innovations at the pace required
to remain competitive with the national branded manufacturers.
The Company believes that its national distribution capabilities, its
full product line and its reputation as a private label supplier enhance its
market efforts.
2. PULP PRODUCTS
The Company owns a pulp mill and supporting facilities at Halsey,
Oregon. This mill produces bleached kraft pulp which is sold in various forms
in the open market and to newsprint and writing paper manufacturers in the
Pacific Northwest. The mill also produces a flash dried pulp which is sold in
the open market. In conjunction with the fiber acquisition program for the
pulp mill, the Company brokers pulp chips for sale primarily into the export
market. The total annual capacity of the mill is 180,000 air dry metric tons;
109,000 metric tons were produced in 1993 and 152,000 metric tons were
6
<PAGE> 7
produced in 1992. The Company's pulp business was affected in 1992 and to a
greater extent in 1993 by high wood chip costs, weak demand, and declining pulp
prices.
During 1992 construction began at Halsey on a $24 million oxygen
delignification project to reduce both the use of chlorine in the bleaching
process and dioxin discharges. This multi-year project, which was necessary to
comply with an agreement entered into with the Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality on meeting target emission levels, was completed in late
1993.
Since 1985 the Company has had a pulp supply contract with James River
Corporation ("James River") to supply pulp in slush form to a tissue facility
owned by James River adjacent to the Company's pulp mill. James River began
production of its own recycled pulp at Halsey in 1992, and correspondingly
reduced its consumption of pulp from the Company's pulp mill in 1992 and
completely phased out of its Halsey pulp consumption in 1993. Approximately
10,000 metric tons were sold to James River in early 1993 compared to 31,000 in
1992.
As a result of depressed world pulp prices, selective downtime was taken
in lieu of selling pulp in the open market to replace the lost James River
tonnage. Because of the lost James River volume and the related decision to
take selective downtime, the Halsey pulp mill operated at 60 percent of
capacity in 1993.
Weyerhaeuser Company ("Weyerhaeuser") presently owns a pulp mill, which
it has announced it intends to upgrade and expand, located adjacent to the
North Pacific Paper Company ("Norpac") newspaper manufacturing facility in
Longview, Washington. Weyerhaeuser is a part owner of Norpac. The Company
believes that completion of the upgrade and expansion project by Weyerhaeuser
at its pulp mill will occur in 1995 or later. At that time, there is a
significant possibility that Norpac will begin to satisfy a portion of its pulp
needs from the Weyerhaeuser mill, and at the same time substantially reduce the
quantity of pulp it purchases from the Company at the Halsey mill. In 1993,
Norpac purchased approximately 46,000 metric tons of pulp from the Company.
In order to provide additional sales flexibility and attempt to improve
margins through higher value products, the Company initiated mill modifications
in 1993 totaling $41 million, which will be completed in early 1994 to improve
pulp quality and expand pulp drying capabilities. These modifications are in
addition to the $24 million oxygen delignification project. These mill
improvements will allow the Company to expand its pulp product offerings and to
dry its total pulp production, thus providing greater access to new pulp
markets within and outside the Pacific Northwest, which has historically been
the Company's primary pulp market region. Given these mill improvements,
management does not anticipate that elimination of the James River sales volume
will have a material adverse effect on the Company's pulp business.
The pulp mill modifications mentioned previously made it possible for
the Company to enter into a significant pulp supply agreement in the third
quarter of 1993. Under this agreement, late in the fourth quarter of 1993 the
Company began supplying pulp to a writing grade paper mill which reopened in
January 1994. The paper mill was recently purchased from its former owners by
a group of private investors. All output from the paper mill will be sold to
one
7
<PAGE> 8
customer. It has been anticipated that ultimately the paper mill would
purchase pulp from the Company in significant quantities, depending on sales by
the paper mill to its customer. However, to date pulp purchases have not been
at this level. In the event that the paper mill's sales to its customer
are adversely impacted for any reason, sales of the Company's pulp may be
adversely impacted. It is also anticipated that a portion of the pulp sold to
the paper mill will be produced from sawdust and hardwood chips, which have
historically been less expensive than softwood chips, which has been the
primary raw material for the pulp mill. Pricing for this pulp will be computed
using a formula based on prices for white paper. Based on prices in effect for
white paper at the end of 1993, the price that pulp would be sold under this
agreement would be 8 percent higher than the average pulp price the Company
obtained for its pulp at the end of 1993.
Substantially all of the Company's wood chip and sawdust requirements
for the Halsey pulp mill are satisfied through purchases by the Company from
third parties. The Company has long-term chip supply contracts with sawmills
in the Pacific Northwest.
Environmental concerns over timber harvests, which have caused high log
costs for the Company's Port Gamble sawmill, have also caused higher chip costs
and reduced chip availability from historic sources at the Halsey pulp mill
over the last three years. In order to maintain an adequate supply of wood
fiber for the mill, the Company has expanded its geographic base from which it
obtains the softwood chips normally used as the primary raw material for the
pulp mill. The Company has also expanded the capability of using sawdust and
hardwood chips, which historically have been less expensive than softwood
chips, as raw materials for a portion of the production. In order to maintain
an adequate supply of chips for the anticipated 60 percent of the pulp mill's
production which will remain based on softwood chips, the Company will continue
to use an expanded geographic base to obtain chips, adding to their cost.
Unless environmental restrictions on timber harvests are relaxed, chip prices
likely will remain high, and sawdust and hardwood chip prices may also
increase. The Company believes that these third-party chip purchases, in
addition to its whole-log chipping capabilities, will be adequate for the
Halsey pulp mill in the foreseeable future.
Marketing and Distribution. The Company utilizes its own sales force
and pulp brokers to sell its pulp products. Substantially all of the Company's
pulp products are sold in the Northwest. In 1993, sales to Norpac represented
46 percent of the Company's pulp revenues, sales to James River represented 7
percent of the Company's pulp revenues, and the remaining eight largest
customers accounted for an additional 37 percent of pulp revenues. No single
pulp customer accounted for 10 percent or more of total Company revenues in
1993.
Backlog. The Company's pulp customers typically enter into one- to
three-year contracts and provide the Company with annual estimates of their
requirements. More definite orders are placed by these customers on a
quarterly basis. As of December 31, 1993, the Company's backlog of orders for
pulp products for delivery during the first quarter of 1994 was $19 million,
compared to a backlog of approximately $15 million at December 31, 1992. This
increase was due primarily to scheduled pulp sales volume resulting from the
third quarter 1993 pulp supply agreement mentioned previously.
8
<PAGE> 9
Competition. The pulp industry is highly competitive, with a
substantial number of competitors having extensive financial resources,
manufacturing expertise and sales and distribution organizations, most of which
are larger than the Company, but none of which is believed to be dominant. The
principal methods of competition in the pulp market are price, quality, volume,
reliability of supply and customer service.
For further information regarding amounts of revenue, operating profit
and loss and identifiable assets attributable to the pulp and paper products
industry segment, see Note 11 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"
in the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company's wood products and pulp and paper businesses are subject to
federal, state and Canadian pollution control regulations that have required,
and are expected to continue to require, significant expenditures.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993, the Company's capital
expenditures for environmental control amounted to approximately $23.4 million.
Additionally, expenditures for such purposes are expected to be $2 million and
$4 million for the years ending December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively. The
expenditures in 1993 represent primarily the costs necessary to complete the
oxygen delignification project at the Halsey, Oregon pulp mill. $16 million of
the oxygen delignification project was financed by a note payable to the State
of Oregon under the State's Small Scale Energy Loan Program (SELP).
In response to environmental concerns in Western Oregon and Western
Washington, specifically the preservation of old-growth forests, substantial
amounts of federal timberlands have been set aside as wilderness areas. This
has affected and may continue to affect the amount and cost of timber
obtainable from public agencies in this region. Currently, the Company's
exposure in this region is the Port Gamble, Washington sawmill and the Halsey,
Oregon pulp mill. The carrying value of the Port Gamble sawmill was written
down in 1990 as a result of its inability to obtain adequate timber supply; the
sawmill now operates based upon log availability. The Halsey pulp mill is also
affected by the decrease in timber availability, since its primary raw
materials, wood chips and to a greater extent beginning in 1994, sawdust and
hardwood chips, are by-products of the lumber manufacturing process. It is
management's opinion that, based on existing wood chip and sawdust availability
both within the Willamette Valley region of Oregon and from other sources
discussed previously, wood chip and sawdust resources will be adequate for the
Company's requirements at the Halsey pulp mill in the foreseeable future. It
is also management's opinion that the reduced availability of public timber in
Western Washington will have little, if any, additional impact on the Company's
Port Gamble operations.
In 1992, the Company was contacted by the local governmental owner of a
vacant industrial site in Oregon on which Pope & Talbot previously conducted
business. The owner informed the Company that the site has been identified as
one containing creosote and coal tar, and that it plans to undertake a
voluntary clean-up effort of the site. The owner has requested that the
Company participate in the cost of the cleanup. The Company, in conjunction
with an environmental consultant, performed in 1993 a preliminary assessment of
soil contamination on the site. The results of this study indicate there is
some soil contamination present from creosote and coal tar as well as
9
<PAGE> 10
pollutants from other sources, and that the responsibility for the
contamination is not clear. The estimated cost of cleaning up this site and
the Company's liability, if any, has yet to be determined.
EMPLOYEES
The Company currently employs approximately 3,100 employees of whom
2,600 are paid hourly and a majority of which are members of various labor
unions. Approximately 47 percent of the Company's employees are associated
with the Company's wood products business, 51 percent are associated with the
Company's pulp and paper business and 2 percent are corporate management and
administration personnel.
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES
The Company's foreign manufacturing operations consist of three lumber
mills located in Canada. The Company's primary exports are disposable diapers
sold to Canada and brokered wood chips sold to Japan. The Company's export
sales from the United States were $29.1 million for 1993, $19.3 million for
1992 and $19.4 million for 1991. Of the 1993 export sales, 56 percent were to
Canada and 32 percent were to Japan.
Financial information regarding the Company's domestic and foreign
operations is included in Note 11 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial
State-ments" on page 32 of the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

capacity for such production is 440,000 bone dry units. In 1993,
396,000 bone dry units were produced.

The Company believes that its wood products manufacturing facilities are
adequate and suitable for current operations. Nevertheless, the Company is
committed to continually improving its manufacturing facilities as evidenced by
the Castlegar lumber mill modernization completed in 1993.
The Company owns all of its wood products manufacturing facilities
except that it leases the ground on which the Port Gamble facilities are
located from Pope Resources, A Delaware Limited Partnership, pursuant to a
20-year lease entered into in December 1985.
2. Timber and Timberland
Restructuring activities in 1992 resulted in the sale of approximately
21,800 acres of primarily immature timber in Oregon. The Company no longer
owns any timberland in the Pacific Northwest.

The Company believes that its tissue and diaper manufacturing facilities
are adequate and suitable for current operations. The Company completed
installation of equipment in 1993 to produce diaper training pants at its
Shenandoah, Georgia diaper facilities.
The Company owns all of its tissue and diaper production facilities,
except that it leases the building which contains the Shenandoah diaper and
incontinent production facilities.

2. Pulp Mill
The Company owns a bleached kraft pulp mill near Halsey, Oregon. In
1993, 109,000 air dry metric tons of pulp were produced, compared with an
estimated annual capacity of 180,000 metric tons. During 1993 the Company (1)
began installation of a conventional Flakt pulp dryer costing approximately $37
million which will be completed in the first quarter of 1994 and will allow the
mill to produce market pulp in a form suitable for shipping to markets outside
the Pacific Northwest, (2) completed the installation of an oxygen
delignification system which, in addition to permitting the Company to meet the
Oregon State Department of Environmental Quality dioxin discharge limitations,
will improve pulp quality and slightly improve brightness, and (3) made certain
modifications to its bleach plant at the Halsey mill which will also result in
pulp quality and brightness improvements. The Flakt pulp dryer will require
additional 1994 spending of approximately $13 million. With the completion of
the above mentioned capital projects, the Company believes that its pulp
facility is adequate and suitable for current operations.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
In 1985, stockholders of the Company approved a Plan of Distribution
pursuant to which all of the Company's timber properties and development
properties and related assets and liabilities in the State of Washington were
transferred to newly-formed Pope Resources, A Delaware Limited Partnership,
with interests in the partnership distributed to the Company's stockholders on
a pro rata basis.
The Company assigned to the assets transferred a distribution value for
federal income tax purposes based upon the public trading price of the
partnership interests at the time of distribution. The Internal Revenue
Service has asserted that the Company owes additional federal income tax in the
amount of approximately $14 million (plus applicable interest) in connection
with this transaction and the Company has disputed this asserted tax liability.
The issue is scheduled to be heard in U.S. Tax Court during the third quarter
1994. The Company will vigorously contest the assessed tax liability through
independent tax counsel. It is management's opinion, based upon consultation
with independent tax counsel, that the additional tax due in this matter, if
any, will ultimately be significantly less than the assessed amount and will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. The
final tax settlement, if any, will be recognized as a reduction in equity with
respect to the partnership transaction.
In September 1992, Kimberly-Clark sued in the U.S. District Court for
the Western District of Washington, alleging that diapers manufactured by the
Company infringe a U.S. patent that has been assigned to Kimberly-Clark. The
Company is vigorously defending the litigation, on the basis that the patent is
invalid and unenforceable. The Company is also defending on the basis that its
products do not infringe the patent (even if it is determined to be valid and
enforceable). The Company has significant arguments to defend its position of
non-infringement, and has already prevailed on a motion for partial summary
judgment that substantially narrowed the scope of the asserted patent. If the
patent is found to be both valid and infringed, damages could consist of a
reasonable royalty on the sales of infringing products and/or profits lost by
Kimberly-Clark as a result of infringement. Kimberly-Clark has also requested
an injunction to prohibit future sales of any products ultimately found to
infringe the patent if the Company declines to accept Kimberly-Clark's offer to
license the patent. The impact of any such injunction could be limited by
accepting a patent license from Kimberly-Clark. The Company does not expect
that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse impact
on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Kimberly-Clark has also threatened additional litigation with respect to a
related patent, which may issue from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. The
patent that is the basis for the threatened litigation has not yet been issued
and its scope has not yet been determined.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Information required by Item 6 of Part II is presented in the table
entitled "Five Year Summary of Selected Financial Data" on page 14 of the
Company's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders. Such information is incorporated
herein by reference.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
An exceptionally strong lumber market and record earnings in diapers
more than offset losses in tissue and pulp to return Pope & Talbot to
profitability in 1993, after two years of losses. Pope & Talbot's earnings for
1993 were $21.0 million, or $1.80 per share ($1.67 on a fully diluted basis),
up from 1992's loss of $2.3 million, or $.19 per share. Operations contributed
$21.6 million, or $1.85 per share in 1993; however, also included was a net
charge of $562,000, or $.05 per share, reflecting the cumulative effect of
accounting changes adopted in 1993. See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for an explanation of the accounting changes.
Widely divergent business environments affected Pope & Talbot's
businesses during 1993. An improving housing industry, combined with sharply
curtailed timber harvests in the Pacific Northwest as a result of environmental
pressures, produced lumber prices that were 34 percent higher on average in
1993 than 1992, resulting in the best wood products earnings in the Company's
history. Demand for the Company's disposable diapers remained strong in 1993
and, combined with only minor price reductions as a result of competitors'
price reduction efforts, resulted in record profits for the diaper business.
Conversely, tissue produced a loss for the second year in a row, as extremely
competitive conditions in the tissue industry continued, and world pulp markets
remained poor, resulting in losses from our pulp business for the third
consecutive year.
Revenues reached a record $628.9 million in 1993, a 16 percent increase
from $544.3 million in 1992. Higher lumber sales prices in wood products was
the most significant factor impacting the revenue increase. In pulp and paper,
revenue gains from higher diaper sales volumes were largely offset by poor
pricing and demand for tissue and pulp.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital spending, largely to expand drying capabilities, improve pulp
quality and to meet environmental requirements at the Company's Halsey, Oregon
pulp mill, increased the debt-to-total-capitalization ratio to 42 percent at
year-end 1993, from 34 percent at the end of 1992. The Company continues to
have available $95 million under existing credit agreements, of which $11
million was borrowed at December 31, 1993.
The Company's primary sources of internally generated cash are operating
income plus depreciation; the principal external source of cash is debt
financing. Cash generated from operations was $36.9 million in 1993.
Additionally, during 1993 the Company completed an offering of $75 million of 8
3/8 percent, 20-year debentures, and received $16 million at 6.55 percent from
the State of Oregon under the State's Small Scale Energy Loan Program.
14
<PAGE> 15
See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further long-term
debt information and subsequent years' debt repayment schedules. These cash
resources were used to finance $82.6 million of capital expenditures, $8.9
million for the payment of dividends, and to reduce borrowings on the Company's
lines of credit including repayment of $45.0 million on the Company's unsecured
revolving-credit agreement. Scheduled long-term debt repayments were $500,000
in 1993 and are anticipated to be $901,000 in 1994. The most significant
capital improvement projects included $47 million to improve pulp quality,
expand drying capabilities and reduce both the use of chlorine in the bleaching
process and the discharge of dioxins from the Halsey pulp mill. The project to
reduce chlorine usage and dioxin discharges is necessary to comply with an
agreement entered into with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality on
meeting target dioxin emission levels. Other significant projects during 1993
included completion of the first phase of a project to improve raw material
utilization at the Castlegar, B.C. sawmill, installation of equipment to
produce diaper training pants and other cost reduction and product improvement
projects for the Company's diaper business.
At December 31, 1993, the Company had numerous capital projects in
process at its facilities. It is expected that $25 million will be required to
complete approved projects, including those in progress at year-end. The
principal projects included in this amount are for completion of the pulp
drying improvements at Halsey and the completion of diaper cost reduction
projects. In addition, the Company anticipates that additional capital
projects will be undertaken during 1994, primarily to sustain existing
operations. Projected 1994 capital spending is expected to be funded with
internally generated cash, supplemented with borrowings on the Company's lines
of credit.
The December 31, 1993 current ratio remained essentially unchanged from
year-end 1992 at 1.7 to 1. Significant changes in the components of working
capital included increases in accounts receivable, inventories, and income
taxes payable. Accounts receivable increased primarily due to a $6.1 million
United States income tax refund receivable. Inventories increased
approximately $21.6 million. Significant changes in inventory balances include
a change in accounting for supplies inventories and higher log volumes from
taking advantage of buying opportunities. Income taxes payable increased
approximately $9.2 million reflecting higher current income taxes payable on
higher earnings in Canada.
The impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have not
had, and are not expected to have, a significant effect on the Company's
liquidity or results of operations.
Results of Operations
Wood Products
The Company's wood products business, which in 1993 comprised 48
percent of consolidated revenues, generated operating profit of $62.1 million
in 1993, a sharp increase over earnings of $15.3 million in 1992, and a loss of
$1.1 million in 1991. The 1993 earnings were more than double the previous
best wood products earnings of $29.9 million reported in 1979. Housing starts,
which historically have been a significant factor in the profitability of the
wood products business, have improved in conjunction with the general economy
and lower interest rates. Housing starts have increased from 1.0
15
<PAGE> 16
million in 1991 to 1.2 million in 1992 and 1.28 million in 1993. Although
these improvements in the housing market were a factor in the improved lumber
sales prices, this alone was not adequate to generate the sales price increases
and earnings improvements realized in 1993. A more significant factor
continues to be the significantly curtailed harvest levels for timber from
federal lands in the Pacific Northwest as a result of continuing environmental
pressures to reduce timber harvests. During 1991, log costs increased as a
result of constricting supply from federal lands. During 1992, lumber sales
prices increased to offset these log cost increases and returned the
relationship of log costs to sales prices to more historic levels. As log
supplies, and consequently lumber supplies, tightened further in 1993, sales
prices rose substantially. During 1993, log costs for the Company's United
States sawmills increased generally with the increase in lumber sales prices.
The Company has shifted much of its timber dependency out of Western Washington
and Western Oregon where the environmental concerns over timber harvests have
sharply restricted the volume of public timber available, and increased the
cost of remaining timber, into regions of more stable timber supplies such as
the Black Hills region of South Dakota and Wyoming and British Columbia.
Currently, 80 percent of the Company's lumber capacity is in the Black Hills
and British Columbia, with the remaining 20 percent representing the Company's
Port Gamble, Washington sawmill. In the second quarter of this year, a
Presidential Commission issued a proposal for resolving the timber supply
situation in the Pacific Northwest. The proposal has been criticized by
various environmental and industry groups. At this point, it is uncertain
whether the proposal will be adopted. Until a solution is adopted, it is
likely that timber supplies will remain restricted in the Pacific Northwest.
When an agreement ultimately is reached, it is likely that the ultimately
agreed upon harvest levels will be less than historic levels, but more than is
currently available.
During 1992, the United States government imposed a 6.51 percent tariff
on Canadian lumber sold in the United States. During 1993, the Company paid
approximately $9.2 million under this tariff resulting in higher costs for the
approximately 425 million board feet of Canadian lumber sold in the United
States. In December 1993, a bi-national commission ruled that there is no
basis for this duty. However, this decision may be appealed by the United
States Government. At this time, it is unknown if the United States Government
will make such an appeal, or if any adjustment to the tariff would be made,
either upward or downward, and if any such adjustment would be made retroactive
to March 1992, when the tariff was first imposed.
Lumber sales volume increased to 726 million board feet in 1993, up
9 percent from 669 million board feet in 1992 and 496 million board feet in
1991. The increased lumber volume over the three-year period was due primarily
to the mid 1992 acquisition of the 225 million board-feet-per-year Castlegar,
B.C. sawmill. With the acquisition of this sawmill, lumber capacity for the
Company is now approximately 785 million board feet. The Company's sawmills
operated essentially at capacity for 1993, except for the Port Gamble sawmill,
which reduced production during the year as a result of lack of acceptably
priced timber in relation to end-product prices. Port Gamble is the only
Company sawmill in the high-priced timber regions of the Pacific Northwest and
the Company, recognizing the limitation on acquiring adequate, acceptably
priced timber supplies for the mill, has previously reduced its carrying value
to its estimated recoverable value.
16
<PAGE> 17
Wood Products revenues climbed to a record $300 million in 1993 from
$214.2 million in 1992 and $153 million in 1991. Both 1992 and 1993 revenue
increases were a combination of volume increases and higher sales prices.
Sales volumes were up 35 percent in 1992 and 9 percent in 1993 primarily from
having the Castlegar sawmill for part of 1992, and for a full year in 1993.
Lumber sales prices were up an average of 40 percent for the Company's Canadian
sawmills and Port Gamble. These mills, which comprised approximately 80
percent of the Company's total lumber production, compete primarily in the home
construction markets which have seen the greatest lumber supply reductions from
the Pacific Northwest timber harvest restrictions. The remaining 20 percent of
the Company's lumber production comes from two mills located in the Black Hills
region of South Dakota and Wyoming. Lumber from these mills goes principally
into remodeling markets and competes less directly with Pacific Northwest
lumber. Prices for these products rose an average of 17 percent during 1993.
Overall, sales prices were up an average of 34 percent in 1993 and 13 percent
in 1992.
Pulp and Paper Products
The pulp and paper segment, which produces private label tissue and
disposable diapers as well as market pulp, generated 52 percent of 1993
revenues. Operating profits from pulp and paper have declined from $6.2
million in 1991 to losses of $4.6 million in 1992 and $9.8 million in 1993.
Disposable diapers have been increasingly profitable from 1991 through 1993;
however, losses in tissue products and market pulp in 1992 and 1993 more than
offset diaper profits. Pulp and paper revenues have remained essentially flat
over the last three years, with 1993 sales of $328.9 million, 1992 sales of
$330.2 million and 1991 sales of $349.3 million. Tissue products and market
pulp revenues declined in 1992 and again in 1993 on lower pricing and volumes.
Diaper sales volume and selling prices improved in 1992 and in 1993 volume
again improved while prices declined slightly.
Losses in the Company's market pulp business were the most significant
factor in the pulp and paper segment's 1993 loss. A combination of an
extremely depressed pulp market and the high cost of wood chips, the primary
raw material for pulp, resulted in the increasing losses for 1991 through 1993.
As a result of the weak markets, many pulp mills in the industry experienced
significantly curtailed production rates during 1993. The Company's pulp mill
at Halsey operated at 60 percent of capacity in 1993 and 83 percent of capacity
in 1992. Historically, the Company had sold pulp to an adjacent tissue
facility owned by James River Corporation. Beginning in 1992, James River
began producing recycled pulp at Halsey and began phasing out of purchases of
the Company's pulp. By mid 1993, James River no longer was purchasing any of
the Company's pulp. As a result of depressed world pulp prices, selective
downtime was taken in lieu of selling pulp in the open market to replace this
lost tonnage. Consistent with world pulp pricing, the Company's sales prices
in 1993 were approximately 12 percent below 1992's already depressed prices.
Overall, pulp revenues decreased 36 percent to $40.3 million in 1993. Of this
decline, approximately $17 million was due to volume reductions, and
approximately $6 million was due to price declines. Based on a long-term pulp
supply arrangement entered into in 1993, the Company began supplying, in
December 1993, pulp to a printing and writing grade paper mill which opened at
the beginning of 1994. The mill was purchased recently from its former owners
by a group of private investors. The total output of this paper mill will be
sold to one customer who will re-market the paper to outside customers. It has
been anticipated that ultimately the paper mill
17
<PAGE> 18
would purchase pulp from the Company in significant quantities, depending on
sales by the paper mill to its customer. However, to date pulp purchases have
not been at this level. In the event that the paper mill's sales to its
customer are adversely impacted for any reason, sales of the Company's pulp may
be adversely impacted. Pricing for this pulp will be computed using a formula
based on prices for white paper. Based on the prices in effect for white paper
at the end of 1993, the price that pulp would be sold under this agreement
would be 8 percent higher than the average pulp price the Company obtained for
its pulp at the end of 1993.
Environmental concerns over timber harvests, which have caused high log
costs for the Company's Port Gamble sawmill, have also caused higher chip costs
and reduced chip availability from historic sources at the Halsey pulp mill
over the last three years. In order to maintain an adequate supply of wood
fiber to the mill, the Company has expanded its geographic base from which it
obtains softwood chips and has developed the capability of using sawdust and
hardwood chips as raw materials for a portion of the production, which
historically have been less expensive than the softwood chips normally used as
the primary raw material for the pulp mill. It is anticipated that a portion
of the pulp sold to the paper mill will be produced from sawdust and hardwood
chips. In order to maintain an adequate supply of chips for the anticipated 60
percent of the pulp mill's production which will remain based on these softwood
chips, the Company will continue to use an expanded geographic base to obtain
chips, adding to their cost. Unless environmental restrictions on timber
harvests are relaxed, chip prices likely will remain high, and sawdust and
hardwood chip prices may also increase.
In the tissue business, continued low industry operating rates resulting
from industry capacity increases in recent years which have exceeded demand
growth, coupled with aggressive pricing by tissue producers, resulted in a
second consecutive loss year for the Company's tissue business. Overall,
tissue operated at approximately 97 percent of capacity in 1993. Prices for
the Company's tissue products declined in 1992 an average of 6 percent from the
already depressed 1991 levels and declined by another 1 percent in 1993.
Overall, prices for the Company's tissue have declined an average 13 percent
from 1989, when tissue prices first began to decline. During 1992, the Company
permanently closed one high-cost tissue facility and instituted cost reduction
measures which reduced tissue operating costs in 1993; however, these savings
were partially offset by increases in prices paid for wastepaper, the primary
raw material for the Company's tissue products.
Diaper earnings improved substantially in 1993 over already strong
earnings in 1992 and 1991. Diaper sales volumes in 1992 were 10 percent
greater than 1991. This sales growth continued in 1993, with sales volumes 21
percent ahead of 1992 at a record 1.1 billion diapers. Based on the existing
mix of diaper sales, the Company's diaper business operated essentially at
capacity in 1993. During 1992, Procter & Gamble, a significant producer of
branded disposable diapers, instituted an everyday low price program intended
to reduce the shelf package prices to the consumer. Private label disposable
diapers, including the Company's, are priced under the pricing umbrella of
branded products; however, the Company was generally able to maintain its
diaper sales prices in 1993 at 1992 levels, which were on average 6 percent
above 1991 levels. In November 1992, the Company closed one of its five diaper
facilities and transferred the diaper machines to the remaining facilities.
This eliminated the overhead of operating one additional facility while leaving
diaper capacity essentially unchanged.

Other Matters
In 1993, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 109 on accounting for income taxes. The charge to earnings for
adopting this new standard was $2.3 million ($.20 per share) and is reflected
as part of the cumulative effect of accounting changes in the Consolidated
Statements of Income.
In 1993, expendable supplies on hand, which previously were charged to
expense as purchased, were included in supplies inventories as of January 1,
1993. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting method amounted to
$1.8 million ($.15 per share), net of tax, and is reflected as part of the
cumulative effect of accounting changes in the Consolidated Statements of
Income.
In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
pronouncement on Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits. This
statement must be adopted by the Company no later than 1994. The Company will
adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 1994. The Company has reviewed
the pronouncement and does not expect its implementation to have a material
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules
governing Form S-8 (effective July 13, 1990) under the Securities Act of 1933,
the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows:
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of the
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person
of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered on the Form S-8's
identified below, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to
a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The preceding undertaking shall be incorporated by reference into
registrant's Registration Statements on Form S-8 No. 33-34996 (filed May 21,
1990) and No. 33-64764 (filed June 21, 1993).

amount equals the primary earnings per share amount.
The computation of primary net income per common share is not included because
the computation can be clearly determined from the material contained in this

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Pope & Talbot, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pope &
Talbot, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993
and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit 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 opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Pope & Talbot, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 7 to the financial statements, effective
January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes
and supplies inventories. Also as discussed in Note 1 to the financial
statements, effective January 1, 1991, the Company changed its method of
accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions.

POPE & TALBOT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1992 AND 1991
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Pope & Talbot, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company), after eliminating
intercompany transactions and balances.
All assets and liabilities of the Company's Canadian subsidiary are
translated into United States dollars at the period-end exchange rate. Revenues
and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the year.
Translation gains and losses are reflected in Stockholders' equity as Cumulative
translation adjustments. Net gains and losses on foreign currency transactions,
which are not significant, are reflected in Net income (loss).
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. For portions of
lumber and raw material inventories, cost has been determined on the last-in,
first-out method. For remaining inventories, cost has been determined using the
first-in, first-out and average-cost methods. Inventory costs include the cost
of materials, labor and plant overhead.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is carried at cost and includes expenditures for new
facilities and those expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives
of existing plant and equipment. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the related cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts, with the resultant gain or loss
included in income.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful
lives of respective assets. The estimated useful lives of the principal items of
plant and equipment range from 4 to 20 years.
The Company capitalizes interest on borrowed funds during the construction
period of major capital projects. Interest capitalized is determined by applying
the Company's effective interest rate to the accumulated capital costs during
the construction period of a project. Total interest costs incurred were
$10,449,000, $5,956,000 and $4,361,000 for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Interest capitalized was $1,735,000 in 1993, $334,000 in 1992 and $420,000 in
1991. Capitalized interest is amortized over the depreciable life of related
assets.
Timber resources
In the United States, the Company obtains its timber from various public
and private sources under timber harvesting contracts. Additionally, logs are
purchased on open log markets. Liabilities for timber removed under harvesting
contracts are not recorded until the timber is cut, as the Company generally
does not incur a direct liability for, or ownership of, this timber until it has
been harvested.
The total volume committed under contract, the 1994 planned contract
harvest at contract prices and the estimated market values based on current log
markets are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
THOUSAND PER THOUSAND
BOARD FEET AMOUNT BOARD FEET
---------- ----------- ------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Total under contract:
At contract prices........................................ 291,000 $62,176,000 $214
At current log market values.............................. 291,000 72,773,000 250
1994 planned harvest:
At contract prices........................................ 85,000 19,768,000 233
At current log market values.............................. 85,000 24,821,000 292
</TABLE>
In Canada, the Company obtains its timber from the Provincial Government of
British Columbia under timber harvesting licenses. The cost assigned to these
timber licenses is amortized over 50 years on a straight-line basis.
These licenses allow, but do not require, the Company to remove timber from
defined areas annually on a sustained yield basis. Future allowable harvests may
be adjusted if the Company does not remove timber over a five year period in
accordance with the grants. As in the United States, liabilities for the cost of
timber removed are not recorded until the timber is cut as the Company does not
incur a direct liability for, or ownership of, this timber until it has been
harvested.
Goodwill
The goodwill contained in the Consolidated Balance Sheets relates to the
1980 purchase of the Company's Eau Claire, Wisconsin facilities. This amount is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.
Reforestation
Under the Canadian timber harvesting licenses mentioned previously, the
Company is responsible for the reforestation of the land from which timber is
harvested. A substantial portion of the costs incurred to reforest do not occur
until 10 to
24
<PAGE> 8
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
POPE & TALBOT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES -- (CONTINUED)
15 years after the timber is harvested. The Company accrues for the
total projected cost of reforestation as the timber is removed. Actual
expenditures for reforestation are applied against this accrual when they are
made.
Income taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company implemented the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 utilizes the liability method and deferred taxes are
determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions
of the enacted tax laws. The principal temporary differences are related to
depreciation, reforestation and postretirement benefits. Prior to the
implementation of SFAS No. 109, the Company accounted for income taxes in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11.
Undistributed earnings of the Company's Canadian subsidiary totaled
$53,612,000 on December 31, 1993, which, under existing law, will not be subject
to United States tax until distributed as dividends. Since the earnings have
been, and are intended to be, reinvested in Canadian operations, no provision
has been made for any United States taxes that may be applicable thereto.
Furthermore, any taxes paid to the Canadian Government on those earnings may be
used in whole or in part, as credits against the United States tax on any
dividends distributed from such earnings. It is not practicable to estimate the
amount of unrecognized deferred United States taxes on these undistributed
earnings.
Statements of cash flows
The Company classifies as Cash and cash equivalents, cash on deposit in
banks plus cash invested temporarily in various investment instruments that are
part of the Company's cash management program. The Company's cash and cash
equivalents have original maturities of 90 days or less and the related carrying
amounts approximate fair values. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash
balances held in foreign currencies is not significant. Non-cash transactions,
which have been excluded from the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows, are not significant. Total cash expenditures for interest, net of
capitalized interest, were $8,821,000, $5,402,000 and $4,598,000 for 1993, 1992
and 1991, respectively. Total cash expenditures for income taxes were $9,589,000
for 1993, $1,166,000 for 1992 and $3,337,000 for 1991.
Per share information
Per share information is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each year.
The computation for fully diluted net income (loss) per common share
assumes conversion of $40 million of 6 percent convertible debentures issued in
March 1987. The computation also includes the assumed issuance of common shares
under the stock option and appreciation plan, net of an assumed buyback of
treasury shares at the average market price.
The average number of shares used to calculate primary net income (loss)
per common share was 11,685,000 in 1993, 11,609,000 in 1992 and 11,588,000 in
1991. The average number of shares used to calculate fully diluted net income
(loss) per common share was 13,492,000 in 1993, 13,165,000 in 1992 and
13,137,000 in 1991.
Accounting changes
In 1991, the Company adopted an accounting change relating to
postretirement benefits other than pensions. In 1993, the Company changed its
accounting for supplies inventories and income taxes. The income (expense)
related to the cumulative effect of these accounting changes was as follows:

</TABLE>
Supplies inventories
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for
supplies inventories. Prior to 1993, supplies items were expensed when
purchased. As of January 1, 1993, such supplies items were valued using the
average-cost method and were recorded as supplies inventories. Since many
supplies items are kept on hand for an extended period of time, the Company
believes that reflecting these items as inventory results in a better matching
of the cost of supplies with the timing of their use.
The cumulative effect of this change in accounting for supplies inventories
for years prior to 1993, which is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of
Income for 1993, resulted in a benefit of $1,764,000, after related income taxes
of $1,168,000, or $.15 per common share. The effect of the
25
<PAGE> 9
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
POPE & TALBOT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES -- (CONTINUED)
change on 1993's net income before cumulative effect of accounting
changes was not significant. The Company was not able to determine the impact
of this change on 1992 and 1991 as supplies inventory records were not
available prior to 1993.
Income taxes
During the first quarter of 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The new
standard was adopted prospectively and a $2,326,000, or $.20 per share, charge
related to the cumulative effect of this change in accounting for income taxes
was recognized.
Postretirement benefits other than pensions
Effective January 1, 1991, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions." This standard requires that the expected cost of
postretirement benefits be charged to expense during the years that the
employees render service. In 1991, the Company elected to recognize its entire
transition obligation, which represented the present value of the estimated
future benefits payable to current retirees and a pro rata portion of estimated
benefits payable to active employees after retirement, as allowed under the
standard. The charge to 1991 earnings was $6,467,000 after a related tax benefit
of $3,474,000.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' data to conform to
the 1993 presentation.

During the second quarter of 1993, the Company issued $75 million of 8 3/8
percent debentures due June 1, 2013. The net proceeds of approximately $73.8
million were partially used to retire the $45 million of indebtedness that was
outstanding under the Company's $75 million unsecured revolving-credit
agreement. The remainder of the proceeds have been used to finance the Company's
capital improvement projects.

POPE & TALBOT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES -- (CONTINUED)
In June of 1993, the State of Oregon issued tax-exempt bonds under the
State's Small Scale Energy Loan Program (SELP). Upon completion of the Company's
Halsey pulp mill oxygen delignification project in the fourth quarter of 1993,
the State of Oregon loaned a portion of the bond proceeds ($16 million) to the
Company for 20 years at 6.55 percent interest. Principal and interest are
payable monthly beginning in January 1994. The note is secured by substantially
all of the assets at the Company's Halsey pulp mill.
The Company has an unsecured revolving-credit agreement with a group of
five banks. The agreement provides $75 million of revolving credit until 1996.
On or before April 30 of any calendar year which precedes by two years the June
1996 expiration date, the Company may request a one year extension, which may
be granted upon the affirmative vote of all involved banks. The interest rate
associated with this agreement is based, at the option of the Company, on the
Interbank (LIBOR) rate plus 5/8 percent or the greater of the bank's prime rate
during the revolving period or the Federal Funds rate plus 1/2 percent. An
annual commitment fee of 1/4 percent per year on the total loan commitment is
payable quarterly. Without extension, any outstanding balance on the
revolving-credit agreement would be due in 1996.
The Company also has an unsecured $20 million short-term line-of-credit
agreement with a domestic bank, with interest based on a negotiated rate. As of
December 31, 1993, there was an outstanding balance of $11,000,000 on this line
at 4.25 percent interest. There are no commitment fees or compensating balance
requirements associated with this agreement.
In 1987, the Company issued $40 million of 6 percent convertible
subordinated debentures due March 1, 2012. The debentures are convertible by the
holder into common stock at a conversion price of $25.94 per common share. The
Company is required to make equal annual sinking-fund payments beginning March
1, 1998, which are calculated to retire 70 percent of the issue prior to
maturity. The debentures are redeemable by the Company, subject to certain
restrictions, at any time at the Company's option.
The various loan agreements contain, among other things, certain
requirements as to maintenance of working capital, sale of assets, incurrence of
debt and restrictions as to the payment of cash dividends. At December 31, 1993,
the payment of dividends from retained earnings under all of these agreements
was limited to $19,452,000.
The annual maturities of long-term debt, including sinking fund
requirements, for the four years subsequent to December 31, 1994 are: 1995 --
$928,000; 1996 -- $957,000; 1997 -- $988,000 and 1998 -- $3,021,000.
The fair value of the convertible subordinated debentures at December 31,
1993 was $44,800,000 based on their current trading price. The Company's
carrying value of other long-term debt approximates its fair value.
5. STOCK OPTION AND BONUS PLANS
The Company has a stock option and appreciation plan and a restricted stock
bonus plan for officers and key employees. Both plans are administered by the
Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee is composed
of outside Directors who are not eligible for awards. At December 31, 1993,
600,008 shares were available for future grants under these plans.
Stock option and appreciation plan
The stock option and appreciation plan provides for granting both incentive
stock options and non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock at prices not less than 85 percent of fair market value
on the date of grant. Options are exercisable as stated in each individual
grant; however, no option may extend beyond ten years from the date of grant.
The grant may provide that all or part of the option, to the extent exercisable,
may be surrendered to the Company for an appreciation distribution of the
difference between the option price and the fair market value on the surrender
date (stock appreciation rights (SAR) grants). The appreciation distribution
must be made up of at least 70 percent common stock. No stock option grants made
subsequent to 1987 have SARs attached. At December 31, 1993, no outstanding
options have SARs attached.
At the date of grant, compensation expense is accrued and is measured as
the excess, if any, of the current market value over the option price of the
stock. Adjustments to compensation expense are made periodically for market
price fluctuations when options are outstanding which have an appreciation right
attached. Stock option compensation expense was not significant in 1993, 1992 or
1991. The Company has followed the practice of using treasury stock to fulfill
its obligations under the stock option plan. When stock is issued pursuant to
the stock option plan, the difference between the cost of treasury stock issued
and the exercise price of the option is credited to Additional paid-in capital.

Restricted stock bonus plan
The restricted stock bonus plan provides for issuance of restricted shares
to officers and key employees. The issued shares are covered by restrictions as
to transfer for periods of up to ten years. Compensation expense is recognized
in the year the grant is made based on the market price of the Company's stock
at the date of grant. Restricted stock bonus plan compensation expense was not
significant in 1993, 1992 or 1991. At December 31, 1993, 6,000 shares were still
under restriction.
6. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT PLANS
Pension plans
Substantially all of the Company's employees participate in noncontributory
defined-benefit pension plans. These include plans which are administered by the
Company and multi-employer plans administered by various unions.
Certain union employees are covered under multi-employer union pension
plans. Contributions to these plans are based upon negotiated hourly rates. It
is not possible to determine the amount of accumulated benefits or net assets
available for benefits that apply solely to Company employees covered by these
plans.
Substantially all other Company employees are covered by noncontributory
defined-benefit pension plans administered by the Company. The pension benefit
for salaried employees is based on years of service and the five highest out of
the last ten years of compensation. Pension benefits for employees covered under
hourly plans are generally based on each employee's years of service.
The Company's funding policy regarding all of its Company administered
plans is to make contributions to the plans that are between the minimum amounts
required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the maximum
amounts deductible under current income tax regulations.
Net periodic pension cost for 1993, 1992 and 1991 was composed of the
following:

compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value of
the projected benefit obligation were 7 percent and 5 percent, respectively,
for 1993, and 8 percent and 6 percent, respectively, for 1992. The expected
long-term rate of return on plan assets was 9 percent for 1993 and 1992.
The Company has granted some former employees pension benefits which
supplement the normal Company plan. These benefits are unfunded, general
obligations of the Company. The cost associated with these grants was $242,000
in 1993, $138,000 in 1992 and $299,000 in 1991.
Other postretirement plans
The Company sponsors postretirement medical and life insurance plans for
certain salaried and nonsalaried employees and eligible spouses and dependents
of the employees. The medical plans pay a stated percentage of covered medical
expenses incurred after deducting co-payments made once a stated deductible has
been met. The life insurance plans pay a defined benefit. The Company's funding
policy for these plans is to not make contributions to the plans prior to the
actual incurrence of costs under the plans.
Net periodic cost in 1993, 1992 and 1991 for these plans was composed of
the following:

For measurement purposes, 10 1/2 percent and 11 percent rates of increase
were assumed for health care costs in 1993 and 1992, respectively. The rate is
assumed to decline in 1/2 percent decrements every year until it reaches 5
percent in 2004 where it will remain level thereafter. A 1 percent increase in
the assumed health care cost trend rates would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation by $1,800,000 at December 31, 1993. The effect
of this 1 percent increase on the service and interest cost components of the
net periodic cost of postretirement medical and life insurance plans would be an
increase of $200,000 in 1993. The discount rate used in determining the
accumulated benefit obligation was 7 percent in 1993 and 8 percent in 1992.

The third quarter 1993 increase in the United States top federal statutory

Company's provision for income taxes. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company
changed its method of accounting for supplies inventories. The tax effect of
this accounting change of $1,168,000 was deferred. Effective January 1, 1991,
the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." The
cumulative tax benefit of

In 1992 and 1991, the Company was required to compute its current federal
income tax liability under the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) methodology as it
resulted in a greater tax payable when compared to that computed using the
standard tax system. Additional amounts paid under the AMT system can be carried
forward indefinitely as credits to be applied against regular tax. AMT
carryforwards at December 31, 1993 are $2,833,000.
Following the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
adopted January 1, 1993, deferred taxes are determined based on the estimated
future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities given the provisions of the enacted tax laws. The net
deferred tax liability is comprised of the following:

In 1985, the stockholders of the Company approved a Plan of Distribution
pursuant to which all of the Company's timber properties and development
properties and related

assets and liabilities in the State of Washington were transferred to
newly-formed Pope Resources, A Delaware Limited Partnership. The transfer
resulted in $10,266,000 of taxes currently payable in 1985, which was charged
to Stockholders' equity.
The distribution value for federal income tax purposes that was assigned to
the assets transferred to the Partnership has been challenged by the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS). In January 1993, the Company petitioned the United States
Tax Court in order to resolve the disputed value of the distribution. It is
management's opinion, based upon consultation with independent tax counsel, that
the Company can successfully defend itself against this claim and that any
additional tax due would not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position of the Company. The final tax settlement, if any, will be recognized as
a reduction in equity with respect to the partnership transaction.
8. OTHER GAINS AND LOSSES
Wood products
Beginning in 1990 and concluding in 1992, the Company sold parcels of its
Oregon timberland which were no longer necessary as a result of selling its
Oakridge, Oregon sawmill in 1989.
Pulp and paper plant and equipment write-downs
During the fourth quarter of 1991, the Company removed from production and
wrote down two small, inefficient paper machines that could no longer produce
tissue at an acceptable level of quality. In addition, a building previously
used in the manufacturing of diapers was written down to the amount of net
proceeds anticipated upon sale of the building.
Cost reduction and efficiency improvements
In the second quarter of 1992, the Company announced a program to reduce
costs and improve operating efficiencies, principally in the pulp and paper
business. Costs under this program primarily include severance and early
retirement packages, asset write-downs resulting from the permanent closure of
the Ladysmith, Wisconsin tissue plant and the Maryville, Missouri diaper plant,
and costs to transfer equipment from the closed plants to other Company
facilities.
The components of Other gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of
Income are as follows:

9. ACQUISITION OF SAWMILL
On April 15, 1992, the Company purchased a sawmill in Castlegar, British
Columbia from Westar Ltd. The sawmill has an annual capacity of approximately
225 million board feet. The purchase price of $19,417,000 was paid in cash and
financed under the Company's revolving-credit agreement. Assets acquired and
liabilities assumed include inventory, $8,730,000; prepaid expenses, $1,085,000;
properties, $11,466,000; land and timber cutting rights, $3,392,000; accrued
liabilities, $962,000; and reforestation liability, $4,294,000. The acquisition
of the sawmill was accounted for as a purchase, and the consolidated financial
statements include results of operating the sawmill since the date of
acquisition.
The 1992 results of Castlegar operations prior to the acquisition date were
not material to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
10. LITIGATION AND LEGAL MATTERS
The Company is party to various legal proceedings incidental to its
business. Management, in consultation with legal counsel, does not believe that
ultimate resolution of any of these proceedings will have a material adverse
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Notes:
A. The Company operates principally in two industries:
1) Wood products: Manufacture and sale of lumber and wood chips.
2) Pulp and paper products: Manufacture and sale of bleached kraft pulp,
tissue products and disposable diapers.
B. Operating profit (loss) is total revenue less directly identifiable costs and
expenses. In computing operating profit (loss), none of the following items
have been included: General corporate expenses, interest expense, other gains
(losses) and income taxes.
C. Identifiable assets are those assets of the Company that are identified with
the operations in each industry or geographic area.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On January 24, 1994, the Board of Directors authorized management to redeem
the Company's $40 million of convertible subordinated debentures. It is expected
the debentures will be converted into approximately 1,542,000 shares of common
stock in the first quarter of 1994.
Primary earnings per share for 1993, assuming the conversion had taken
place at the beginning of the year, would have been $1.70 compared to the $1.80
reported for 1993. Fully diluted earnings per share for 1993 would not have been
affected as the amount reported already reflects the impact of the conversion
transaction.
