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 have 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
         March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the results of operations and
         changes in cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
         1996. It is suggested that these interim statements be read in
         conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained
         in the Company's 1996 report on Form 10-K. The results of operations
         for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 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.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Solid wood products operating profits and break-even results in the pulp
and paper segment led to first quarter 1997 net income of $1,378,000, or $.10
per share, for Pope & Talbot, Inc. (the Company). The 1997 first quarter income
compared to a loss from continuing operations of $2,765,000, or $.20 per share,
in the first quarter of 1996. Additionally, in the first quarter of 1996, the
Company reported a gain on the disposal of its discontinued disposable diaper
business of $3,110,000, or $.23 per share. Revenues of $116,874,000 in the first
quarter 1997 were 6 percent higher than those in the 1996 first quarter
reflecting increased lumber sales which more than offset lower pulp and wood
chip revenues.

In the wood products segment, earnings of $6.8 million in the first quarter of
1997 were substantially improved over first quarter 1996 income of $3.0 million.
The 1996 first quarter results included 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. This segment comprised 55 percent of
1997 first quarter sales. Total 1997 first quarter wood products revenues of
$64.3 million were 19 percent higher than first quarter 1996 revenues reflecting
increased lumber prices and volumes which more than offset lower residual wood
chip prices. Overall lumber prices in the first quarter of 1997 remained strong
at levels slightly better than the 1996 fourth quarter. First quarter 1997
lumber prices were about 31 percent higher than for the corresponding period of
1996. Although lumber prices have remained strong, the sawmills' residual chip
markets in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia remain weak, reflecting
the continued poor world pulp markets. First quarter 1997 chip prices were only
half the first quarter 1996 price levels and were down about 10 percent from the
1996 fourth quarter averages. The Company uses residual chips in its pulp
business which mitigates somewhat the impact of these low chip prices in the
lumber business. However, the Company produces more residual chips in its lumber
business than it consumes in the pulp business, so on balance, weak chip prices
have a detrimental impact on the Company's overall operating results.

Lumber sales volume of 139 million board feet in the first quarter of 1997 
approximated the 1997 first quarter sawmill capacity and compared to shipments 
of 130 million board feet in the first quarter of 1996. The year-to-year volume
increase reflected increased production at the Company's Canadian sawmills to
take advantage of the favorable lumber markets. During 1996, U.S. and Canadian
trade negotiators reached an agreement establishing volume quotas on Canadian
softwood lumber shipments to the U.S. The agreement specifies on a company by
company basis the lumber volumes which may be shipped to the U.S. tariff-free
and those volumes subject to a per thousand board foot tariff. March 31, 1997,
represented the end of the first fiscal year lumber quota period related to this
agreement. During the 1997 first quarter, shipments from the Company's Canadian
sawmills into the U.S. resulted in tariff charges of about $0.9 million.
Approximately 75 percent of the Company's 1997 lumber capacity is located in
British Columbia, Canada.

The pulp and paper segment, which represented 45 percent of first quarter
1997 revenues, broke even in the first quarter of 1997 compared to a loss of
$2.9 million in the first quarter of 1996. The 1997 first quarter results
reflect profitable tissue operations which offset continued losses in the
Company's pulp business. Segment revenues of $52.6 million were down 7 percent
from the first quarter of 1996 due mainly to lower tissue and pulp pricing which
more than offset improved tissue and pulp volumes.

The Company's pulp business, which comprised approximately 17 percent of first
quarter 1997 revenues, continued to incur losses as the industry suffered from
high inventory levels and poor market pulp prices. Pulp pricing peaked in the
fourth quarter of 1995 followed by a rapid decline at the end of 1995 which
continued through the first quarter of 1996. Pulp prices for the balance of 1996
approximated the low end of first quarter 1996 levels and prices in the first
quarter of 1997 fell even further. First quarter 1997 Company pulp prices were 8
percent below the already depressed 1996 fourth quarter levels and were 30
percent lower than the 1996 first quarter prices. First quarter 1997 pulp prices
were nearly 50 percent below prices realized at the fourth quarter 1995 peak.
The Company sold about half of its first quarter 1997 and 1996 pulp volumes to
the Grays Harbor Paper Company (Grays Harbor). Under the Company's supply
agreement with Grays Harbor, pulp prices are tied to a formula based on white
paper prices which typically move on a different cycle than market pulp. During
1996, the Company benefited from this pricing formula because white paper prices
did not fall as rapidly as market pulp prices. In the first quarter of 1997,
however, Grays Harbor and market pulp pricing were relatively comparable. As
discussed for the Company's wood products segment, residual wood chip prices
remained low in the first quarter of 1997. Consistent with these low residual
wood chip prices, sawdust costs also remained low in the 1997 first quarter. The
low sawdust costs are significant in that sawdust pulp represented over half of
first quarter 1997 pulp production. These low chip and sawdust prices have
helped somewhat to offset the impact of the depressed pulp sales prices. During
the 1997 first quarter, the Halsey mill operated at approximately 97 percent of
capacity compared to 80 percent of capacity production in the 1996 first
quarter. The below-capacity 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-caused shutdown in February 1996.

The Company's tissue business, which represented about 28 percent of 1997 first
quarter revenues, generated profits in the first quarter of 1997 which exceeded
the small profits produced in the corresponding 1996 period. This improved
profitability reflected higher tissue volumes, lower wastepaper costs and
improved operating efficiencies at the Ransom, Pennsylvania facility which more
than offset lower tissue prices. During 1996, particularly in the first quarter,
the Company worked through the process of rebuilding lost business and
correcting operating inefficiencies resulting from the seven-month 1995 labor
strike at the Ransom facility. This labor strike was settled late in the 1995
fourth quarter. Due mainly to these Ransom improvements, tissue sales volume in
the first quarter of 1997 was 12 percent higher than the comparable 1996 period.
After several years of poor tissue pricing, the Company benefited from
continuously improving prices during 1995 and early 1996. During the second
quarter of 1996, Procter & Gamble and Kimberly-Clark announced 6 to 8 percent
average tissue price reductions and the Company responded by decreasing tissue
prices in the second and third quarters of 1996. First quarter 1997 tissue
prices were essentially flat relative to the fourth quarter of 1996, but were 9
percent lower than first quarter 1996 prices. After being pushed to record
levels during 1995, wastepaper pricing began to decline at year-end 1995 and
accelerated through the first quarter of 1996 consistent with market pulp
prices. The Company's wastepaper costs have remained fairly stable since the
dramatic decreases

early in 1996. First quarter 1997 wastepaper costs were 16 percent below
those in the first quarter 1996 and approximated the fourth quarter 1996 prices.
During the first quarter 1997, the tissue business operated essentially at
capacity.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first quarter of 1997, operations generated cash of $4.9
million. Income before non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization
generated $8.9 million of cash. Increases in accounts receivable related mainly
to higher pulp business export sales in March 1997 used cash of $5.5 million.
Reductions of inventories related primarily to decreases in the relatively large
year-end Canadian log inventories generated cash of $3.2 million.

Capital spending of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 1997 was used primarily
for relatively small, business-sustaining projects. The Company anticipates that
approximately $5 million will be required to complete previously approved
projects and that total capital spending for 1997 will approximate $15 million.
It is anticipated that 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.

The Company returned $2.5 million to shareholders in the form of dividends
in the first quarter of 1997. The Company currently has a $75 million
revolving-credit agreement under which $22 million was outstanding at March 31,
1997, leaving an unused balance of $53 million. The Company also has a $10
million uncommitted credit line which is used primarily to facilitate cash
management activities. This uncommitted credit line had $9.1 million outstanding
at March 31, 1997.
