                           FEDERAL PAPER BOARD COMPANY, INC.
                  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (Unaudited)


1. 	In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, of a
normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the
results for the interim periods presented.  

 2.	Net income used in the computation of earnings per common
share assuming no dilution is reduced by preferred dividend
requirements.  Earnings per common share assuming full dilution
for the first quarter of 1994 and 1993 excludes the conversion
of the Company's $2.875 convertible preferred stock as the
effect is antidilutive.  

 3.	The Company manages certain portions of its exposure to
foreign currency fluctuations through a variety of financial
instruments with off-balance-sheet market risk including foreign
currency option and foreign currency forward contracts.  The
risk of loss to the Company in the event of non-performance by
any party under these agreements is not significant.  The
Company's market risk under these agreements is subject to
currency rate differentials.  At March 26, 1994, the Company had
outstanding foreign currency call option contracts with notional
amounts of  166.0 million U.S. dollars, 10.0 million British
pounds and 8.5 million German marks; foreign currency put option
contracts with a notional amount of 90.3 million U.S. dollars
and forward foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of
15.0 million U.S. dollars.

 4.	During the first quarter of 1994, the Company terminated $75
million of interest rate swap agreements.  At March 26, 1994,
the Company had interest rate swap agreements outstanding with a
notional principal amount of $175 million.  These swap
agreements terminate on various dates through the year 1998.

 5.	Effective January 2, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits".  SFAS No. 112 requires
the Company to accrue for postemployment benefits provided to
former or inactive employees, their beneficiaries and covered
dependents after employment but before retirement.  The impact
of adopting this Statement was not material to the Company's
financial position and results of operations for the interim
period presented.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Paper, Paperboard and Pulp

Net sales of paper, paperboard and pulp remained virtually
unchanged compared to the first quarter of the prior year.
Market pulp sales increased 30% compared to the prior year due
to increased volume. Uncoated free-sheet paper sales remained
virtually unchanged compared to the prior year as increased
volume was offset by decreased average selling prices. Bleached
paperboard sales decreased 6% compared to the prior year
primarily due to lower average selling prices while recycled
paperboard sales increased 4% compared to the prior year as
increased demand for this product offset decreased average
selling prices.  

Operating profits for this segment declined 54% from the prior
year. The decline in operating profits for this segment is
primarily attributable to weather related factors, weaknesses in
certain segments of the bleached paperboard market and operating
problems which resulted in lost production and higher costs at
the Company's major mills.  During the quarter, operations at
the Augusta and Riegelwood mills were adversely affected by
unscheduled shutdowns.  Operating results were also negatively
impacted by higher wood and energy costs in the first quarter of
1994 resulting from the harsh winter weather.

Results of Operations (Cont.)


The bleached paperboard market showed continued weakness in
certain segments.  Average selling prices for this product were
lower than in the first quarter of last year mainly due to an
increase in lower priced commodity grade business. Despite this
decline, demand has remained strong, with shipments of this
product increasing slightly compared to the first quarter of the
prior year. Slightly offsetting the decrease in bleached
paperboard operating profits was improved results for market
pulp. Operating results increased approximately 40% in the first
quarter of 1994 as compared to the first quarter of 1993. 
Although this product line remained unprofitable in the first
quarter, results improved significantly due to increasing
demand.  A December 1993 pulp price increase was fully
implemented during the first quarter, an April price increase is
now being implemented and another increase is scheduled to take
effect in the second quarter.

Operating profits for the Company's uncoated free-sheet paper
operation improved from the comparable period of the prior year.
Market conditions began to improve during the first quarter,
allowing a price increase to be fully implemented with further
increases in selling prices expected in the second quarter. 
Despite this price increase, average selling prices for this
product remained below last year's level by approximately 6%.
Demand has remained strong with adequate order backlogs and
increased shipments of this product compared to the prior year.
Profits were also positively impacted by slightly lower
operating costs in the first quarter of 1994, resulting from
capital improvements completed in 1993 which enhanced production
efficiencies.

Operating profits for recycled paperboard increased 40% compared
to the same quarter of the prior year.  The recycled paperboard
market remained strong during the first quarter.  The Company's
mill in Sprague, CT operated efficiently with strong order
backlogs and relatively stable pricing.  Production and
shipments of this product increased 4% and 10% respectively,
compared to the first quarter of 1993, while average selling
prices decreased 5% compared to the first quarter of the prior
year.  Improved operating efficiencies and increased demand for
this product positively impacted operating profits compared to
last year's first quarter.

Wood Products

The wood products segment recorded higher operating profits in
the first quarter of 1994 compared to the prior year.  Market
conditions for lumber have continued to be favorable with
average selling prices increasing approximately 17% compared to
the first quarter of last year.  However, shipments for lumber
declined approximately 8% compared to the first quarter of 1993.
The increase in selling price is primarily attributable to the
reduced availability of timber from government-owned lands in
the Pacific Northwest and from harsh weather conditions.  The
decline in shipments was primarily caused by poor weather
conditions during the first quarter of 1994.  

Converting Operations

Operating profits for this segment were improved while sales
declined slightly compared to the first quarter of the prior
year.  The Company's cup operations experienced improved sales
and operating profits compared to the prior year.  A
strengthening in demand and reduced costs, as a result of cost
savings programs which were implemented at each location, are
primarily responsible for the improvements.  The Company's
packaging operations experienced decreased sales and operating
profits compared to the prior year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the first quarter of 1994 was virtually
unchanged compared to the prior year.  During the first quarter
of 1994, capitalized interest increased while interest savings
from the Company's interest rate swap agreements decreased
compared to the prior year.  The increase in capitalized
interest is attributable to higher capital spending on projects
qualifying for interest capitalization.  Interest expense for
the first quarters of 1994 and 1993 includes approximately $0.1
million and  $1.9 million of savings, respectively, related to
the Company's interest rate swap agreements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Cont.)


Accounting Matters

Effective January 2, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits".  The impact
of adopting this Statement, for the first quarter of 1994, was
not material to the Company's financial position and results of
operations.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY:

Cash provided by operations declined 35% compared to the
comparable period of the prior year.  The decline was primarily
attributable to the lower level of earnings and changes in
accounts receivable and inventories in the current year.  The
increase in receivable levels during the first quarter of 1994
is due to an increase in the average collection period along
with a reduction in the amount of receivables sold under an
existing agreement. Under this agreement, $83 million and $88
million were sold at March 26, 1994 and January 1, 1994,
respectively.  Improving market conditions for most of our
product lines have caused inventory levels to remain relatively
unchanged from the fourth quarter of 1993.  However, inventory
levels in the first quarter of 1993 increased significantly from
the fourth quarter of 1992.

Cash used for investing activities increased approximately 28%
compared to the prior year. In both periods presented, the
majority of cash used for investing activities was related to
capital expenditures, predominantly related to a program to
expand and modernize the No. 18 paperboard machine at the
Riegelwood mill.  This program is expected to be completed by
mid-year 1994. Capital expenditures for the full year are
expected to be consistent with last year's level.     

The Company believes it has adequate resources to finance its
operations and future capital spending programs.  The Company is
a party to two revolving credit agreements with total
commitments of $300 million.  At April 23, 1994, $75 million was
outstanding under these agreements.  In addition, the Company
has $75 million remaining under a previously filed shelf
registration statement which can be used for future debt
financings.

Future Outlook:

The outlook for the remainder of the year is for gradual
improvement in market conditions for our major product lines.
Demand is expected to improve in the second quarter and
throughout the year, which should allow further pricing
improvements.  Operating problems which occurred in the first
quarter are not anticipated to recur and therefore improved
operating efficiencies are expected.

                        FEDERAL PAPER BOARD COMPANY, INC.
                   KEY EMPLOYEES LONG TERM COMPENSATION PLAN


1.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

          The Key Employees Long Term Compensation Plan (the
"Plan"), provides for the granting of Contingent Incentive
Awards consisting of a combination of an assumed issuance of
Common Stock of the Company ("Phantom Stock") and cash  units. 
The retention or payment of Contingent Incentive Awards will
depend on the extent to which the Company has met the
Performance Goals established for each Contingent Incentive
Award over an Award Cycle consisting of three fiscal years of
the Company.

2.  PURPOSE OF THE PLAN:

          The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentive and
reward to a limited group of key executive and managerial
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries whose
contributions, services and decisions have a long term impact on
the operations of the Company.

3.  TERM OF THE PLAN:

          The Plan shall become effective on January 1, 1992,
and shall terminate on December 31, 2004, unless sooner
terminated by the Board of Directors of the Company.  The
termination of the Plan shall not affect Contingent Incentive
Awards granted pursuant to the Plan prior to such termination
date, but no Contingent Incentive Award shall be granted under
the Plan after such termination date.

4.  ADMINISTRATION:

          The Board of Directors of the Company shall appoint a
Committee (the "Committee") consisting of two or more members of
the Board of Directors, who shall administer the Plan and serve
at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.   The members of the
Committee shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan while
serving on the Committee and  shall be Independent Directors of
the Company.   The Committee shall have full power and
authority, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to designate
participants in the Plan, to determine the terms of such
participation, to interpret the provisions of the Plan, to
supervise the administration of the Plan, to promulgate rules
and regulations, and to take all action in connection with or
relating to the Plan as it deems necessary.  Decisions and
designations of the Committee shall be by a majority of its
members and shall be final.  Any decision reduced to writing and
signed by all of the members of the Committee shall be fully
effective as if it had been made at a meeting duly held.

5.  ELIGIBILITY:

          Key employees, including officers of the Company and 
its subsidiaries (but excluding members of the Committee), who are
from time to time responsible for the management, growth and
protection of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries
are eligible to be granted awards under the Plan.  The employees
who shall receive awards under the Plan shall be selected from
time to time by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from
among those eligible.

6.  DESCRIPTION OF CONTINGENT INCENTIVE AWARDS:

          Each Contingent Incentive Award granted to a
participant under the Plan shall consist of (a) Phantom Stock
having a fair market value on the date of the grant
approximately equal to 50% of such participant's basic annual
salary as of the beginning of the applicable Award Cycle and (b)
cash units equal in amount to approximately 75% of such basic
annual salary.  The fair market value of such Phantom Stock
shall be the average closing prices on the New York Stock
Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately
preceding the date of grant.  In the event a participant is
compensated in whole or in part on a commission basis, his basic
annual salary shall be deemed to be his total salary and
commissions for the year immediately preceding the applicable
Award Cycle.  The amount of cash units awarded to each
participant under the Plan shall be credited to a memorandum
account maintained by the Company for such participant and the
participant shall have no rights thereto until and unless such
units become payable under the terms of the Plan.

7.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF CONTINGENT INCENTIVE AWARDS:

          All Contingent Incentive Awards shall be subject to
the  following terms and conditions:

          a)  At the time of each grant of Contingent Incentive
Awards to participants under the Plan, the Committee shall
establish Performance Goals to be met by the Company over the
applicable Award Cycle for such grant.  The applicable Award
Cycle for the initial grant of Contingent Incentive Awards under
the Plan shall be the Company's three fiscal years commencing
with the 1992 fiscal year.  The applicable Award Cycle for later
grants of Contingent Incentive Awards under the Plan shall be
the Company's three fiscal years commencing with the fiscal year
in which or as to which the grant is made. The Performance Goals
to be established by the Committee for each Award Cycle shall
include Company objectives in attaining certain levels of return
on shareholder's equity over the Award Cycle, Company objectives
in achieving growth in earnings per share on the  Common Stock
of the Company over the Award Cycle, or such other financial
objectives of the Company during or over the Award Cycle as the
Committee may determine for each grant or any single such
financial objective or any combination of same.  The Performance
Goals established by the Committee for each Award Cycle shall
also specify graduated levels of attainment thereof which, after
the designated minimums have been met, will result in graduated
vesting of the Contingent Incentive Awards relating thereto. 
Failure of the Company to meet the designated minimum
Performance Goals for any Award Cycle will result in the
complete cancellation and forfeiture of all Contingent Incentive
Awards relating thereto; whereas the attainment by the Company
of the uppermost Performance Goals designated by the Committee
will  result in the full payment of the related Contingent 
Incentive Awards, except to the extent such Awards have been 
forfeited as hereinafter provided.

          b)  At the expiration of each Award Cycle the
Committee  shall determine as soon as practicable thereafter the
extent to which the Contingent Incentive Awards related to such
Award Cycle have become vested and the extent to which such
Contingent Incentive Awards have become forfeited.  Forfeited
Contingent Incentive Awards shall first reduce the cash unit
portion of such awards and any forfeiture in excess of  such
cash unit portion shall then reduce the Phantom Stock portion of
such Award.  Holders of Contingent Incentive Awards which have
become vested will thereupon receive from the Company the cash
value of the Phantom Stock which has become vested.  The Company
shall also pay in cash to the holders of such Contingent
Incentive Awards the amount of any cash units which have become
vested and the balance, if any, which has not become vested
shall be forfeited.  The maximum Contingent Incentive Award
payable to a participant shall in no event exceed 175% of such
participant's basic annual salary as of the beginning of the
applicable Award Cycle.

          c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a holder of any 
Contingent Incentive Award ceases to be an employee of the
Company and its subsidiaries prior to the expiration of any
Award Cycle to which such Award or Awards relate for any reason
other than death, disability or retirement under the Company's
Retirement Plan, then his interest in any such Contingent
Incentive Award shall thereupon become forfeited. If a holder of
any Contingent Incentive Award ceases to be an employee of the
Company and its subsidiaries prior to the expiration of any
Award Cycle to which such Award or Awards relate by reason of
death, disability or retirement under the Company's Retirement
Plan, then his interest in any such Contingent Incentive Award
to the extent such becomes vested at the close of the Award
Cycle shall be prorated based on the period of his employment
during the applicable Award Cycle divided by three years. 
Death, disability and retirement under the Company's Retirement
Plan after the expiration of an Award Cycle shall not cause any
forfeiture of rights to Contingent Incentive Awards relating to
such Award Cycle to the extent same become vested.  Any amounts
which become payable to a deceased participant shall be paid to
the beneficiary designated by him in a writing filed with the
Company, or if no such beneficiary is designated or survives the
participant, to the legal representative of the participant's
estate.      

8.  CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION:

          In the event there is a change in, reclassification,
subdivision or combination of, stock dividend on, or exchange of
stock of the Company for the outstanding Common Stock of the
Company, the number of shares of Phantom Stock subject to
outstanding awards shall be appropriately adjusted by the
Committee whose determination shall be conclusive.

 9.  CONSOLIDATIONS OR MERGERS:

          If the Company shall be consolidated with or merged
into another corporation, each employee who has a Contingent
Incentive Award shall be entitled to become vested therein to
the extent the Performance Goals have been achieved as of the
date of such consolidation or merger but only in the ratio that
the period of the applicable Award Cycle which has been
completed as of such date bears to three years.


10.  AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS
AND AWARDS:

          The Board of Directors may discontinue the Plan,
provided that such discontinuance shall not adversely affect any
employee with respect to awards then held by him.

11.  PHANTOM STOCK:

          The cash value of each share of Phantom Stock which
become payable under the Plan shall be the average of the
closing prices for Common Stock of the Company on the New York
Stock Exchange for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days
immediately preceding the end of the Award Cycle.

          Participants credited with Phantom Stock shall receive
cash dividend equivalents on such Stock as and when dividends
are paid on Common Stock of the Company.

(b)	The calculation of primary earnings per share is presented
in accordance with Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Release
