              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             June 30, 1996 and 1995
                                   (Unaudited)

1. General

         The consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been
         prepared by the Company without audit and are subject to normal
         recurring year-end adjustments. Certain information and footnote
         disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been
         condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
         Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of the Company, the
         accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
         contain all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature)
         necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of
         June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the results of operations and
         changes in cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
         and 1995. It is suggested that these interim statements be read in
         conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained
         in the Company's 1995 report on Form 10-K. The results of operations
         for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are not
         necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.   Income Taxes

         The income tax provision is estimated on an interim basis using the
         best available information for projected results for the entire year.

3.   Earnings per Share

         Per share information is based on the weighted average number of common
         shares outstanding during each period.

         Refer to Exhibit 11.1 of this filing for the computation of average
         common shares outstanding and earnings per share.

4.   Discontinued Operations

         On December 11, 1995, the Company entered into a definitive agreement
         to sell its disposable diaper business (the "business") to Paragon
         Trade Brands, Inc. (Paragon). On February 8, 1996, the sale was
         completed. The Company sold substantially all the operating assets of
         the business, primarily properties and inventories, to Paragon for
         $50.5 million in cash and shares of unregistered Paragon common stock
         having a value at the time the transaction was closed of approximately
         $13.0 million. In the first quarter, pursuant to a stockholders'
         agreement between the Company and Paragon, Paragon exercised an option
         to repurchase 227,719 shares from the Company resulting in proceeds to
         the Company of $4.8 million. The Company's remaining investment in
         Paragon common stock is valued at $8.2 million and is included in the
         Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at June 30, 1996 as marketable
         securities.  The pre-tax gain on disposition of the business of $5.2 
         million has been accounted for as discontinued operations and includes 
         closing costs associated with the transaction and a provision of $0.4 
         million for operating losses during the phase-out period. The prior 
         year Consolidated Statement of Income has been restated to reflect the
         discontinuation of the diaper business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating profits in both the wood products and pulp and paper products segments
resulted in second quarter 1996 income of $662,000, or $.05 per share, for Pope
& Talbot, Inc. (the "Company"). The 1996 second quarter income compared to
losses from continuing operations in the first quarter of 1996 and the 1995
second quarter of $2,765,000, or $.20 per share, and $6,315,000, or $.48 per
share, respectively. In addition to the losses from continuing operations, the
first quarter of 1996 had a gain on the sale of the Company's discontinued
diaper business of $3,110,000, or $.23 per share, and the second quarter of 1995
had a loss from discontinued diaper operations of $2,696,000, or $.20 per share.
Second quarter 1996 revenues of $110,567,000 were unchanged relative to the 1996
first quarter, but were 11 percent below the second quarter of 1995 as lower
pulp and wood chip revenues more than offset higher tissue sales.

Wood products segment second quarter 1996 earnings of $3.9 million compared to
income of $3.0 million in first quarter of 1996 and a loss of $2.5 million in
the second quarter of 1995. This segment comprised 51 percent of 1996 second
quarter sales. Included in the 1996 first quarter results was a $2.1 million
gain related to the sale of sawmill equipment at Port Gamble. The Port Gamble
facility was permanently shut down in the fourth quarter of 1995 due to the
increasing difficulty in obtaining an adequate supply of acceptably priced logs.
Adverse winter weather conditions across the U.S. limited upward movement of
lumber prices for much of the first quarter of 1996. At the end of the 1996
first quarter, lumber prices began to improve and this price improvement
continued in the second quarter. Overall lumber prices in the second quarter of
1996 were 14 percent better than during the 1996 first quarter and were 19
percent higher than in the second quarter of 1995. Although lumber prices have
increased in 1996, wood products segment earnings have been restrained as the
market for residual wood chips in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia has
fallen dramatically since the fourth quarter of 1995, reflecting weakened pulp
markets. The residual chip market moved up steadily during 1995 to peak levels
in the third and early fourth quarters, however, with the falling pulp markets,
chip prices haven fallen sharply since the peaks. Second quarter 1996 chip
prices were about 30 percent less than first quarter averages and were less than
half those obtained in the peak of the 1995 chip market. The residual chip
market in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia seems to have bottomed in
the middle of the second quarter of 1996. The Company uses residual chips in its
pulp business which mitigates somewhat the impact of these falling chip prices.
However, the Company produces more residual chips in its lumber business than it
consumes in the pulp business, so on balance, declining chip prices have a
detrimental impact on the Company's operating results.

Lumber sales volume of 139 million board feet in the second quarter of 1996
compared to shipments of 162 million board feet in the second quarter of 1995.
The year-to-year volume reduction related mainly to the Port Gamble sawmill
closure. The Company's sawmills operated at capacity in the second quarter of
1996. During the first quarter of 1996, U.S. and Canadian trade negotiators
reached an agreement establishing quotas on Canadian softwood lumber which can
be shipped to the U.S. on a duty-free basis. The 5-year agreement took

                                        6
<PAGE>   8
effect April 1, 1996. Although numerous details have yet to be finalized,
including the allocation of quota volume within Canada to the various producers,
the Company believes this agreement will not have a significant effect on the
results of its Canadian sawmill operations. Approximately 73 percent of the
Company's 1996 lumber capacity is located in British Columbia, Canada.

The pulp and paper segment generated income of $0.8 million in the second
quarter of 1996 compared to losses of $2.9 million and $2.6 million in the first
quarter of 1996 and second quarter of 1995, respectively. In the second quarter
of 1996, continued improvements in tissue offset pulp losses caused by a weak
pulp market. Segment revenues of $54.0 million, or 49 percent of Company sales,
were down 13 percent from the second quarter of 1995. This year-to-year revenue
reduction was due mainly to lower pulp pricing and lower brokered wood chip
sales which more than offset stronger tissue volume and prices.

In the Company's pulp business, which comprised 19 percent of second quarter
1996 revenues, second quarter pulp pricing stabilized at the low, end of first
quarter levels following the rapid declines which began in the fourth quarter of
1995. The late 1995, early 1996 price declines followed a period of continuously
improving prices which began in 1994. Prices for the Company's pulp in 1994 were
25 percent higher than 1993 and 1995 prices averaged 70 percent higher than
those in 1994. The Company's second quarter 1996 prices were 42 percent below
the corresponding 1995 period and were 24 percent lower than the 1996 first
quarter prices. Although average prices for the Company's pulp have decreased
significantly, the reductions have not been as large as the declines solely in
market pulp due to the Company's pulp supply agreement with Grays Harbor Paper
Company. Sales of pulp to Grays Harbor represented about 55 percent of the
Company's year-to-date 1996 pulp sales. The Company's agreement with Grays
Harbor adjusts pulp prices based on copy and business printing paper prices
which have declined at a slower rate than market pulp. As discussed for the
Company's Wood Products segment, residual softwood chip prices declined
dramatically into the second quarter of 1996 while sawdust and hardwood chip
prices have been relatively stable. The softwood chip price reductions have
helped somewhat to offset the impact of the falling pulp sales prices.
Approximately 43 percent of the Company's second quarter 1996 pulp sales were
produced from softwood chips, while 48 percent was produced from sawdust and 9
percent from hardwood chips. During the second quarter of 1996, the Halsey mill
operated at near capacity levels compared to 80 percent of capacity in the first
quarter of 1996 and full capacity production in the 1995 second quarter. The
below-capacity first quarter 1996 production related mainly to a market induced
2-week shutdown taken at the end of the first quarter combined with a 3-day
flood-related shutdown in February.

The Company's tissue business, which represented 30 percent of 1996 second
quarter revenues, improved operating performance in the second quarter of 1996
and was profitable for the second consecutive quarter compared to significant
losses incurred in the corresponding 1995 period. This improved profitability
reflected higher tissue prices combined with significantly lower wastepaper
costs. Additionally, the second quarter of 1995 reflected costs associated with
the Ransom labor strike related mill shutdown. Tissue pricing began to stabilize
during 1994 after several years of decline and, during 1995, the Company
benefited from continuously improving prices throughout the year. First quarter
1996 tissue prices were essentially flat relative to the fourth quarter of 1995.
Second quarter 1996 prices fell 2 percent from first quarter levels, but were 20
percent higher than second quarter 1995 prices. The second quarter 1996 price
drop relative to the 1996 first quarter reflected the Company's response to the
second quarter 6 to 8 percent tissue price reductions implemented by Procter &
Gamble and Kimberly-Clark. The Company's price decreases were not implemented
until late in the 1996 second quarter. During 1995, wastepaper pricing was
pushed to record levels

                                        7
<PAGE>   9
by a combination of strong pulp markets and shortages of certain wastepaper
grades caused by the start-up of new recycled fiber mills in the United States.
As a result of these pressures, wastepaper prices during 1995 doubled over 1994
pricing although by year-end 1995 wastepaper prices began to decline, consistent
with market pulp prices. This late 1995 decline accelerated through the first
quarter into the early second quarter of 1996 when prices leveled. Second
quarter 1996 wastepaper costs were 60 percent below those in the second quarter
of 1995 and were 22 percent lower than first quarter 1996 costs. During the
second quarter of 1996, the Company's tissue business operated at approximately
95 percent of capacity. This slightly below-capacity second quarter 1996
production reflected below-capacity operations of the Company's Ransom,
Pennsylvania tissue mill which represents 50 percent of the Company's tissue
capacity. Late in the fourth quarter of 1995 the Company settled a seven-month
labor strike at the Ransom facility. During the time since the strike
settlement, the Company has been rebuilding business that was lost as a result
of the strike. By the end of the second quarter, Ransom was operating at near
full capacity levels.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first half of 1996, operations generated cash of $12.9 million and,
for the second quarter, generated cash of $26.3 million. Income before non-cash
charges for depreciation and amortization generated $17.0 million of cash during
the first six months of 1996. Reductions of accounts payable and accrued
liabilities used cash of $18.8 million. These reductions related mainly to
payment of discontinued diaper business liabilities combined with reductions due
to payment timing on other payables and accruals. Payment of income tax
obligations, primarily the 1995 Canadian tax liability, used $3.9 million cash.
Seasonal reductions in log inventories generated cash of $10.9 million.
Collections of accounts receivables related primarily to the discontinued diaper
operations generated cash of $14.6 million in the first six months of 1996. Cash
generated by operations was also used to pay down debt.

On December 11, 1995, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell
its disposable diaper business to Paragon Trade Brands, Inc. (Paragon). The sale
of the diaper business was completed on February 8, 1996. During the first
quarter of 1996, the Company received cash related to the sale of $55.3 million
and Paragon common stock valued at $8.2 million. The Company used the cash
received mainly to pay short- and long-term debt obligations. The Company's
investment in Paragon common stock is reflected as marketable securities in the 
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company is presently limiting capital spending, mainly to those projects
required to sustain existing operations. Capital spending for the first half of
1996 was unusually low at $1.9 million and was used for various small,
business-sustaining projects. The Company anticipates that approximately $3
million will be required to complete previously approved projects during the
remainder of 1996. It is anticipated that the capital spending for the remainder
of the year will be financed from internally generated cash and, if necessary,
from the Company's line of credit.

Through the first six months of 1996, the Company returned $5.1 million to
shareholders in the form of dividends. The Company has paid down $69.2 million
of debt during the first half of 1996. Concurrent with the diaper business sale
in February 1996, the Company's amount available under its long-term revolving
credit agreement was reduced from $100 million to $75 million. At June 30, 1996,
$4.0 million was outstanding under this revolving credit agreement.
