REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Plan Administrator of the Rayonier Investment
and Savings Plan for Salaried Employees:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
with fund information of the Rayonier Investment and Savings Plan for Salaried
Employees as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statement of changes
in net assets available for benefits with fund information for the year ended
December 31, 1998. These financial statements and the schedules referred to
below are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules 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 net assets available for benefits with fund
information of the Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net
assets available for benefits with fund information for the year ended December
31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Assets Held
for Investment Purposes and Reportable Transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Fund Information in the
statements of net assets available for benefits with fund information and
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits with fund information
is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits
of each fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

RAYONIER INVESTMENT AND SAVINGS
PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following brief description of the Rayonier Investment and Savings
Plan for Salaried Employees (the Plan) is provided for general information
purposes only. Members should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
description of the Plan's provisions.
(a) General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible full-time
salaried employees of Rayonier Inc. (the Company) upon the first day of any
month following the employee's date of hire. The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
(b) Contributions
Each year, members may elect to contribute up to 16 percent of the
Member's Salary, as defined, to the Plan. Contributions may be made on a
before-tax basis, an after-tax basis or a combination thereof. Each Plan year
the Company contributes one-half of one percent of each Member's Salary to the
Members Retirement Account. The Company also makes a matching contribution of 60
percent of the first 6 percent of each Member's Salary that a member contributes
to the plan. Member before-tax contributions were limited by the Internal
Revenue Service to $10,000 and $9,500 per year during 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
(c) Member Accounts
Each member's account is credited with the member's contribution and the
related Company contribution. Plan earnings and administrative expenses are
allocated to member accounts based upon account balances. Forfeited balances of
terminated members' nonvested accounts are used to reduce future Company
contributions. The benefit to which a member is entitled is the benefit that can
be provided from the member's vested account.
(d) Vesting
Members are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings
thereon. Vesting in the member's Company contribution account plus actual
earnings
5
<PAGE> 8
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
thereon is based on years of service. A member vests 20 percent after each year
of service with full vesting after five years of service.
(e) Investment Options
Contributions to the Plan are invested in the following funds:
FUND A
Funds are invested in Rayonier Inc. Common Shares.
FUND B
Funds are invested in a commingled fund comprised of a portfolio of common
stocks, all of which are included in the Standard and Poor's 500 Composite
Stock Index (S&P 500), with the objective of providing investment results
which will approximate the performance of the S&P 500.
FUND C
Funds are invested in a commingled fund comprised of a diversified
portfolio of Guaranteed Investment Contracts issued by banks, insurance
companies and other financial institutions with the objective of providing
a stable rate of return consistent with the preservation of principal.
FUND D
Funds are invested in an index fund that matches the S&P 500 and the
Lehman Aggregate Bond Index. Assets of the Banker's Trust Pyramid Balanced
Fund are managed by Banker's Trust. Prior to January 2, 1998, the transfer
date, assets were managed by Prudential Investments under the Prudential
Jennison Balanced Fund. The investment objectives of these two funds are
substantially the same.
Upon enrollment in the Plan, a member may direct contributions in five
percent increments to Fund A, Fund B, Fund C and Fund D. Members may change
their investment options monthly. All Company contributions are made to Fund A
with the following exception: a member who has attained age 55 may direct all or
part of the member's Company contribution to Fund C.
(f) Member Loans
Members may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000. Loan
amounts may not exceed the lesser of (a) 50 percent of the member's vested
balance, or (b) $50,000 reduced by the member's highest outstanding loan
balance, if any, during the prior one-year period. In no event may a member
borrow from the member's Retirement Account. Loan transactions are treated as
transfers between the investment funds and the loan fund. Loan terms range from
one to five years or up to fifteen years for the purchase of a primary
residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the member's account and bear
interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined
6
<PAGE> 9
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
periodically by the Plan Committee. The loans bear fixed interest rates that
range from 9.5 percent to 11.5 percent at both December 31, 1998 and 1997.
Principal and interest are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions.
(g) Payment of Benefits and Withdrawals
Plan benefits are payable to participants at the time of termination or
retirement (including early retirement), in the case of becoming permanently
and totally disabled, or to their beneficiary in the event of death, based on
the fully vested balance of their accounts. Alternatively, upon termination, a
member whose vested account balance exceeds $5,000 may elect to defer
distribution until the March 31 valuation date in the year following the
member's attainment of age 70-1/2. Provided the member's vested account balance
exceeds $5,000, the member may elect to receive benefit payments in annual
installments generally over a period not to exceed twenty years.
Withdrawals may be made, at a minimum interval of six months, of any
amount in the individual's after tax account in excess of a prescribed minimum.
Distributions from before tax accounts are prohibited before attaining the age
of 59-1/2 except in case of death, permanent and total disability or financial
hardship. Existence of financial hardship will be determined based on Internal
Revenue Service criteria.
(h) Forfeited Accounts
Forfeited nonvested accounts are used to reduce future employer
contributions. In 1998, employer contributions were reduced by $61,189 from
forfeited nonvested accounts.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the
accrual method of accounting and are based on information certified to be
complete and accurate by Banker's Trust, the trustee.
(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain
estimates in determining the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amount of contributions,
earnings, distributions and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

<PAGE> 10
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
(c) Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Investment in Rayonier
Inc. Common Shares is based upon the quoted market price. Member loans
receivable are valued at cost which approximates fair value.
Certain Plan investments are shares of commingled investment funds. The
fair value of such shares is determined by the trustee of each fund based upon
the current market values of the underlying assets of the trust. The Company has
received a copy of the financial statements of each of the commingled investment
funds. Statements of net assets as of December 31, 1998 for the Banker's Trust
Pyramid Discretionary Cash Fund, the Banker's Trust Pyramid Equity Index Fund,
the Banker's Trust Pyramid Open End GIC Fund and the Banker's Trust Pyramid
Balanced Fund are filed directly with the Department of Labor under the EIN #
13-6043638.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. The
cost of securities sold is determined on the average cost basis. Interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
date.
(d) Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are shares of commingled investment funds
managed by Banker's Trust Company (BT). BT is the trustee as defined by the
Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest. Fees
paid to BT for investment management services related to the Plan amounted to
$87,776 in 1998. In addition, certain Plan investments are Rayonier Inc.
Common Shares. As Rayonier Inc. is the Plan Sponsor, these transactions
qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
4. PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan
termination, members will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

</TABLE>
Amounts allocated to withdrawing members are recorded on the Form 5500 for
benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to
December 31 but not paid as of that date.
6. TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Plan
Administrator by a letter dated December 27, 1995, that the Plan is designed in
accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan
has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan
Administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently
designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of
the IRC.
7. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
An annual charge to the Plan of up to 0.25 percent of the market value of
the assets held by the Plan is charged for expenses incurred in conjunction with
Plan administration. Such expenses include, but are not limited to, investment
management, trustee, record-keeping and audit fees. The Company pays the balance
of Plan expenses in excess of the maximum charge to the Plan.
