                         INTERNATIONAL PAPER COMPANY
                 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 (Unaudited)

1.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
    prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, in the
    opinion of Management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
    recurring accruals) which are necessary for the fair presentation of
    results for the interim periods. It is suggested that these consolidated
    financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial
    statements and the notes thereto incorporated by reference in the
    Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, which has
    previously been filed with the Commission.

2.  In late April 1995, the Company acquired from Brierley Investments Limited,
    131.8 million shares of Carter Holt Harvey Limited, a major New Zealand
    forest products and paper company (representing approximately 8% of the 
    company) for NZ $470 million (approximately $316 million). This purchase
    increased the Company's ownership of CHH to 31.3%. Also in late April, an
    additional 325.8 million CHH shares were acquired through open-market
    purchases for NZ $3.80 per share (approximately $834 million) bringing the
    Company's total ownership in CHH to 50.2% on a fully diluted basis. All of
    the above share purchases, including the acquisition from Brierley, were

    financed with additional borrowings totaling approximately $1.1 billion. The
    Company's financial statements reflect the consolidation of Carter Holt
    Harvey effective May 1, 1995.

    In January 1995, the Company acquired both Seaman-Patrick Paper Company
    and Carpenter Paper Company, two Michigan-based paper distribution
    companies, by issuing approximately 442,000 shares of Company common stock
    for all of the outstanding shares of these companies.
 
    In March 1994, the Company acquired from Brierley Investments Limited
    an additional 8% interest in Carter Holt Harvey. The purchase increased the
    Company's ownership of Carter Holt Harvey to approximately 24 percent. In
    December 1994, the Company completed a merger with Kirk Paper Corporation,
    a California-based paper distribution company. Also in December, the
    Company acquired additional stock of Zanders Feinpapiere AG, a
    majority-owned subsidiary.

    With the exception of Kirk Paper Corporation, which was accounted for as a
    pooling-of-interests, all of the 1995 and 1994 acquisitions were accounted
    for using the purchase method.

    The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 1995, includes preliminary
    purchase price allocations for Seaman-Patrick and Carpenter Paper Companies
    and the additional purchases of Carter Holt Harvey and Zanders. The
    consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1994 includes a preliminary
    purchase price allocation for Zanders. Except for Carter Holt Harvey, final
    allocations for the above acquisitions will be completed in 1995. Final 
    allocations for Carter Holt Harvey will be completed in 1996.

4.  Interest payments made during the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994
    were $263 million and $164 million, respectively, including payments of
    $149 million and $76 million for the 1995 and 1994 second quarters. Income
    tax payments made during each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 1995
    and 1994 were $209 million and $67 million respectively.


5.  Temporary investments with a maturity of three months or less are treated
    as cash equivalents and are stated at cost. Temporary investments totaled
    $194 million and $102 million at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
    respectively.

6.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year amounts to conform
    with the current-year presentation.

7.  In the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows, the acquisition of
    the additional 26% interest in Carter Holt Harvey in late April 1995 is
    presented net of 26% of the cash acquired. As a result of the consolidation 
    of Carter Holt Harvey, the consolidated statement of cash flows also
    reflects $241 million of Carter Holt Harvey's cash and temporary investments
    balance as of the acquisition date. This cash and temporary investments
    balance was previously not included in the Company's consolidated cash and
    temporary investments balance because the equity method was used to
    account for the investment in Carter Holt Harvey before a controlling
    interest was acquired.

8.  Subsequent Events

    Effective for the third quarter of 1995, the quarterly dividend will be
    increased from $.42 to $.50 per common share. Additionally, a two-for-one
    common stock split was announced for the third quarter which will make the
    quarterly dividend $.25 per common share.

    On July 20, 1995, $450 million of tax deductible convertible preferred
    securities were issued. The proceeds from the issuance of these securities
    will be used to retire short-term indebtedness and for general corporate
    purposes.
      
    On August 2, 1995, the Company called $200 million of 5 3/4% convertible
    subordinated debentures. Substantially all of the debentures were
    converted to Company common stock resulting in approximately 2.9 million
    additional shares being issued.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                        


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

International Paper reported record quarterly earnings of $316 million or
$2.49 per share for the second quarter of 1995, a more than threefold increase
over 1994 second-quarter net earnings of $91 million or $.73 per share and a
28% increase over first-quarter 1995 net earnings of $246 million or $1.95 per
share. Six-month net earnings were $562 million or $4.44 per share compared
with $92 million or $.74 per share ($167 million or $1.34 per share before a
change in accounting for start-up costs) for the six months of 1994.


The primary reason for the increase in revenues over 1994 were strong price
gains in the printing papers and packaging business segments. Second-quarter
net sales were a quarterly record of $5.1 billion. Second-quarter net sales
were a 40% increase over 1994 second-quarter sales of $3.6 billion and a 13%
increase over first-quarter 1995 sales of $4.5 billion. Net sales for the six
months were $9.6 billion compared with $7.0 billion for the 1994 six-month
period. Second-quarter earnings indicate that the favorable markets for the
industry are continuing. Essentially all paper and packaging product lines are
experiencing good demand which is expected to continue. The continuation of
non-inflationary economic growth in the U.S. and Europe, and limited industry
capacity additions, is expected to support demand for most of the Company's
products.

The consolidation of Carter Holt Harvey beginning in May 1995 accounted for
about six percent of International Paper's consolidated second-quarter sales.
Carter Holt Harvey's results are included in each business segment, but its
consolidation had a significant impact on year-to-year sales and earnings
trends only in the forest and specialty products segments (see the
consolidation of Carter Holt Harvey section for other relevant information).
Carter Holt Harvey's segment results have been adjusted to conform with
International Paper's segment classifications.

Printing Papers 1995 second-quarter net sales increased to $1.6 billion from
$1.0 billion in the 1994 second quarter. Less than 10% of the increase was
attributable to Carter Holt Harvey. Six-month sales in 1995 totaled $3.1
billion compared with $2.0 billion for the 1994 six-month period. Led by
strong price gains in the U.S. and European operations, Printing Papers
earnings, including pulp, increased nearly 50% from the previous quarter and
were well ahead of the negative results posted in the 1994 second quarter.
Paper grades remained in tight supply.

Packaging 1995 second-quarter net sales rose to $1.2 billion from $825 million
in the comparable 1994 quarter with Carter Holt Harvey contributing about 30%
of the increase. Sales were also up 21% over the first quarter of 1995 due to
strong markets and contributions from Carter Holt Harvey. Net sales for the
1995 six-month period were $2.1 billion compared with $1.6 billion in 1994.
Second-quarter 1995 Packaging earnings increased approximately threefold over
the 1994 second quarter.

                                      9

<PAGE>

Distribution net sales for the 1995 second quarter increased 57% to $1.3
billion from $820 million in the 1994 second quarter and were up slightly from
the 1995 first quarter. Carter Holt Harvey's contribution was not significant.
Six-month 1995 sales increased to $2.5 billion from $1.6 billion in the same
period of 1994. Operating profits for the distribution businesses were up
significantly from the 1994 second quarter, and increased slightly over the
1995 first quarter, reflecting price gains and tight supply conditions for
printing papers. The 1995 results were also favorably impacted by the 1995
acquisitions of Seaman Patrick and Carpenter Paper and the 1994 merger with
Kirk Paper Corporation.

Specialty Products 1995 second-quarter net sales increased to $815 million

from $640 million in the 1994 second quarter with approximately 60% of the
increase relating to Carter Holt Harvey. Six-month net sales increased to $1.5
billion. Operating earnings in the second quarter of 1995 were lower than the
1994 second quarter, but were higher than the 1995 first quarter. Both sales
and earnings for the 1995 second quarter reflect significant contributions from
the consolidation of Carter Holt Harvey.

Forest Products 1995 second-quarter net sales increased to $515 million from
$445 million in the 1994 second quarter with all of the increase coming from
Carter Holt Harvey. Without Carter Holt Harvey, sales would have decreased
moderately. Six-month sales were $900 million and $870 million for 1995 and
1994, respectively. Operating earnings were down from the prior year and were
lower than the 1995 first quarter reflecting weak demand for wood products and
reduced housing starts.


CONSOLIDATION OF CARTER HOLT HARVEY

The Company acquired approximately 26% of Carter Holt Harvey, a New
Zealand-based forest and paper products company, in late April 1995 for $1.1
billion. The acquisition increased International Paper's ownership to just
over 50%. As a result, Carter Holt Harvey was consolidated into International
Paper's financial statements beginning on May 1, 1995. Prior to this date, the
equity accounting method had been utilized.

Approximately 20% of the $1.5 billion increase in second-quarter net sales
from 1994 to 1995 was the result of this consolidation. Similarly, the effect
of this consolidation on the increases in the components of costs and expenses
ranged from 20% to 60%. In addition, interest expense increased as the result
of higher International Paper short-term debt used to acquire the additional
ownership. The higher short-term debt level also was the major factor in the
$817 million reduction in working capital.

Each of the increases in property, plant and equipment, forestlands,
goodwill, long-term debt and the minority interest liability were primarily the
result of the consolidation of Carter Holt Harvey. Such consolidation also
contributed, but to a lesser extent, to the 29% increase in accounts
receivable (primarily the result of sales volume and price gains).

The consolidated balance sheet reflects a preliminary allocation of the 
purchase price.

                                     10

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Operating cash flow totaled $740 million for the first six months of 1995, up
from $319 million in the comparable 1994 period. Significantly higher earnings
and noncash charges exceeded increased working capital requirements leading to
the improvement over the prior-year period.

Investments in capital projects totaled $573 million for the six months, up

from $418 million for the 1994 six-month period.

The acquisition of the additional interest in Carter Holt Harvey in late April
1995 for $1.1 billion was financed primarily with short-term borrowings. On
July 20, 1995, $450 million of tax deductible convertible preferred securities
were issued. The proceeds from the issuance of these securities will be used to
retire short-term indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

Dividend payments were $106 million or $.84 per common share for the six-month
period. Effective for the third quarter of 1995, the quarterly dividend will
be increased from $.42 to $.50 per common share. A two-for-one common stock
split effective August 18, 1995, which will make the quarterly dividend $.25 per
common share, was also declared for the third quarter.

The Company anticipates that cash flow generated by operations, supplemented
as necessary by short- or long-term borrowings, will be adequate to fund its
capital expenditures, which are expected to be about $1.5 billion for 1995.


MINORITY INTEREST

The current and prior-year financial statements have been adjusted to present
minority interest expense separately. Minority interest expense was previously
included as a component of cost of products sold, and a reduction in operating
profit, because the amounts were not material. Additionally, both current and
prior-year segment operating profit amounts reflect 100% of all majority-owned
subsidiaries. Segment operating profit amounts do not include equity earnings
from unconsolidated subsidiaries or minority interest expense related to
minority shareholders of consolidated subsidiaries. Minority interest expense
represents the relative share of earnings attributable to minority
shareholders of consolidated subsidiaries.

1  Operating profit amounts include 100 percent of consolidated results for
   all majority-owned subsidiaries before reductions for minority interests.
   The increase in minority interest expense resulted principally from the
   May 1, 1995 consolidation of Carter Holt Harvey. (Note: Minority interest
   expense is the share of profit attributable to the other shareholders of
   consolidated subsidiaries.)

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

DIOXIN LITIGATION

As reported in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March
31, 1995 (the "10-Q"), five remaining cases in the U.S. Federal District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi alleging that the Company polluted
and damaged the Pascagoula and Escatawpa Rivers by releasing dioxin and 40
other chemicals were set for trial on April 17, 1995. On April 4th, the
Federal judge entered a Summary Judgment in favor of the Company in three of the
five cases remaining and Partial Summary Judgment in the other two. The
following morning the plaintiffs in these two cases filed Motions to Dismiss
their remaining claims. Notwithstanding the Company's opposition to these
motions, the court granted dismissals without prejudice but awarded court costs
and reasonable defense costs to the Company.


The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 (the
"Annual Report") and 10-Q reported that there were 70 dioxin cases pending in
Mississippi State Court and six pending in Federal Court for a total of 76
Mississippi cases as of February 28, 1995. Based on the dismissals reported
above, there are now 68 State Court cases and one Federal Court case pending
for a total number of plaintiffs in these cases of 5,082 versus 5,090 as
reported in the Annual Report and 5,087 as reported in the 10-Q.


OTHER LITIGATION

The Company's majority owned subsidiary, Carter Holt Harvey Limited, a New
Zealand corporation ("CHH"), has an indirect shareholding of 30.05% in Chile's
largest industrial company, Copec. This shareholding is held through CHH's
joint venture with Inversiones Socoroma S.A., a Chilean investment company
("Socoroma"). In late 1993, CHH commenced several actions in Chilean courts
seeking direct control of its investment in Copec. In December 1994, Socoroma
commenced an arbitration action seeking to expel CHH from its Copec investment
at a price which is less than the carrying value. Although the Company believes
that the eventual resolution of this CHH litigation should not have a material
adverse effect on the Company, the actual resolution of each of these actions
cannot be predicted because of the uncertainties involved in litigation of this
nature and the lengthy preliminary procedural contests prior to these actions
being heard on the merits.
