CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS)
1. GENERAL
The information contained in the following notes to the consolidated
financial statements is condensed from that which would appear in the
annual consolidated financial statements; accordingly, the consolidated
financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained
in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by MAXXAM Inc. with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 (the
"Form 10-K"). All references to the "Company" include MAXXAM Inc. and its
subsidiary companies unless otherwise indicated or the context indicates
otherwise. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve
greater reliance on estimates than at year end. The results of operations
for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the entire year.
The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited;
however, they include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which,
in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the
consolidated financial position of the Company at September 30, 1995, the
consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994 and consolidated cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. Certain reclassifications of prior
period information have been made to conform to the current presentation.
2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
At September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, cash and cash equivalents
includes $4.7 and $19.4, respectively, which is restricted for debt service
payments on the 7.95% Timber Collateralized Notes due 2015.

5. CREDIT (PROVISION) FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 includes a credit relating to the revision of prior
years' tax estimates and other changes in valuation allowances.
6. PER SHARE INFORMATION
Per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding in each period and, if dilutive, weighted average
common equivalent shares assumed to be issued from the exercise of common
stock options based upon the average price of the Company's common stock
during the period.
7. CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Contingencies
Kaiser Aluminum Corporation ("Kaiser," a majority owned subsidiary of
the Company) and its principal operating subsidiary, Kaiser Aluminum &
Chemical Corporation ("KACC"), are subject to a wide variety of
environmental laws and regulations and to fines or penalties assessed for
alleged breaches of the environmental laws and to claims and litigation
based on such laws. KACC is currently subject to a number of lawsuits
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments Reauthorization Act of
1986 ("CERCLA") and, along with certain other entities, has been named as a
potentially responsible party for remedial costs at certain third-party
sites listed on the National Priorities List under CERCLA.
Based on Kaiser's evaluation of these and other environmental matters,
Kaiser has established environmental accruals primarily related to
potential solid waste disposal and soil and groundwater remediation
matters. At September 30, 1995, the balance of such accruals, which is
primarily included in other noncurrent liabilities, was $39.7. These
environmental accruals represent Kaiser's estimate of costs reasonably
expected to be incurred based on presently enacted laws and regulations,
currently available facts, existing technology and Kaiser's assessment of
the likely remediation action to be taken. Kaiser expects that these
remediation actions will be taken over the next several years and estimates
that annual expenditures to be charged to these environmental accruals will
be approximately $3.0 to $12.0 for the years 1995 through 1999 and an
aggregate of approximately $11.0 thereafter.
As additional facts are developed and definitive remediation plans and
necessary regulatory approvals for implementation of remediation are
established or alternative technologies are developed, changes in these and
other factors may result in actual costs exceeding the current
environmental accruals. Kaiser believes that it is reasonably possible
that costs associated with these environmental matters may exceed current
accruals by amounts that could range, in the aggregate, up to approximately
$22.0. While uncertainties are inherent in the final outcome of these
environmental matters, and it is presently impossible to determine the
actual costs that ultimately may be incurred, management currently believes
that the resolution of such uncertainties should not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results
of operations.
Asbestos Contingencies
KACC is a defendant in a number of lawsuits in which the plaintiffs
allege that certain of their injuries were caused by, among other things,
exposure to asbestos during, and as a result of, their employment or
association with KACC or exposure to products containing asbestos produced
or sold by KACC. The lawsuits generally relate to products KACC has not
manufactured for at least 15 years. At October 31, 1995, the number of
such lawsuits pending was approximately 58,200, as compared to 31,700 at
June 30, 1995. KACC has been advised by its regional counsel that,
although there can be no assurance, the recent increase in pending lawsuits
may be attributable in part to tort reform legislation in Texas which was
passed by the legislature in March 1995 and which became effective on
September 1, 1995. The legislation, among other things, is designed to
restrict, beginning September 1, 1995, the filing of cases in Texas that do
not have a sufficient nexus to that jurisdiction, and to impose, generally
as of September 1, 1996, limitations relating to joint and several
liability in tort cases. A substantial portion of the asbestos-related
lawsuits that were filed and served on KACC between June 30, 1995, and
October 31, 1995, were filed in Texas prior to September 1, 1995.
Based on past experience and reasonably anticipated future activity,
KACC has established an accrual for estimated asbestos-related costs for
claims filed and estimated to be filed and settled through 2008. KACC's
accrual was calculated based on the current and anticipated number of
asbestos-related claims, the prior timing and amounts of asbestos-related
payments, the current state of case law related to asbestos claims, and the
advice of counsel. Accordingly, an asbestos-related cost accrual of $155.3
($134.6 at June 30, 1995), before considerations for insurance recoveries,
is included primarily in other noncurrent liabilities at September 30,
1995. KACC estimates that annual future cash payments in connection with
such litigation will be approximately $11.0 to $19.0 for each of the years
1995 through 1999, and an aggregate of approximately $90.8 thereafter
through 2008. KACC does not presently believe there is a reasonable basis
for estimating such costs beyond 2008 and, accordingly, no accrual has been
recorded for such costs which may be incurred beyond 2008.
KACC believes that it has insurance coverage available to recover a
substantial portion of its asbestos-related costs. While claims for
recovery from some of KACC's insurance carriers are currently subject to
pending litigation and other carriers have raised certain defenses, KACC
believes, based on prior insurance-related recoveries in respect of
asbestos-related claims, existing insurance policies, and the advice of
counsel, that substantial recoveries from the insurance carriers are
probable. Accordingly, an estimated aggregate insurance recovery of $134.7
($120.6 at June 30, 1995), determined on the same basis as the asbestos-
related cost accrual, is recorded primarily in long-term receivables and
other assets at September 30, 1995.
While uncertainties are inherent in the final outcome of these
asbestos matters and it is presently impossible to determine the actual
costs that ultimately may be incurred and the insurance recoveries that
will be received, management currently believes that, based on the factors
discussed in the preceding paragraphs, the resolution of the asbestos-
related uncertainties and the incurrence of asbestos-related costs net of
related insurance recoveries should not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Other Contingencies
By letter dated November 1, 1995, the Enforcement Office of the United
States Department of Treasury's Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")
advised that, subject to final approval by the acting director of the OTS,
the OTS intends to issue a notice of charges against the Company after 30
days from the date of the letter. It is the Company's understanding that
other individuals and entities involved in the investigation of the failure
of United Savings Association of Texas ("USAT"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of United Financial Group Inc. ("UFG"), have received similar notices from
the OTS. Although the OTS has not formally articulated any claims against
the Company, the Enforcement Office of the OTS has stated that the charges
may include, among other things, claims that the Company had a duty to
maintain the net worth of USAT and that the Company is liable for the
alleged unsafe and unsound practices of others. The Company denies these
charges and believes it has meritorious defenses in this matter. It is
premature to assess the impact, if any, the outcome of this matter may have
on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The Company is involved in various other claims, lawsuits and other
proceedings relating to a wide variety of matters. While uncertainties are
inherent in the final outcome of such matters and it is presently
impossible to determine the actual costs that ultimately may be incurred,
management currently believes that the resolution of such uncertainties and
the incurrence of such costs should not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED HEDGING PROGRAMS
KACC enters into primary metal hedging transactions with off-balance
sheet risk in the normal course of business. The prices realized by Kaiser
under certain sales contracts for alumina, primary aluminum and fabricated
aluminum products as well as the costs incurred by Kaiser on certain items,
such as aluminum scrap, rolling ingot, power and bauxite, fluctuate with
the market price of primary aluminum, together resulting in a "net
exposure" of earnings. The primary metal hedging transactions are designed
to mitigate the net exposure of earnings to declines in the market price of
primary aluminum, while retaining the ability to participate in favorable
environments that may materialize. KACC has developed strategies which
include forward sales of primary aluminum at fixed prices and the purchase
or sale of options for primary aluminum. In this regard, in respect of its
remaining 1995 anticipated net exposure, at September 30, 1995, KACC had
net forward sales contracts for 53,875 tons (all references to tons in this
report refer to metric tons of 2,204.6 pounds) of primary aluminum at fixed
prices, had purchased call options in respect of 17,250 tons of primary
aluminum, had purchased put options to establish a minimum price for 48,375
tons of primary aluminum, and had entered into option contracts that
established a price range for 22,500 tons of primary aluminum. In respect
of its 1996 anticipated net exposure, at September 30, 1995, KACC had sold
forward 11,100 tons of primary aluminum at fixed prices.
KACC also enters into hedging transactions in the normal course of
business that are designed to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates. At September 30, 1995, KACC had net forward
foreign exchange contracts totaling approximately $125.9 for the purchase
of 174.0 Australian dollars through April 1997.
At September 30, 1995, the net unrealized gain on KACC's position in
aluminum forward sales and option contracts (based on a market price of
$1,773 per ton of primary aluminum) and forward foreign exchange contracts
was $9.1.
KACC has established margin accounts with its counterparties related
to forward aluminum sales and option contracts. KACC is entitled to
receive advances from counterparties related to unrealized gains and, in
turn, is required to make margin deposits with counterparties to cover
unrealized losses related to these contracts. At September 30, 1995, KACC
had $2.5, compared with $50.5 at December 31, 1994, on deposit with a
counterparty in respect of such contracts. These amounts are recorded in
prepaid expenses and other current assets.
9. STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT
On September 19, 1995, Kaiser redeemed all 1,938,295 of its Series A
Mandatory Conversion Premium Dividend Preferred Stock (the "Series A
Shares"). Redemption of the Series A Shares resulted in the simultaneous
redemption of all 19,382,950 $.65 Depositary Shares (the "Depositary
Shares") in exchange for (i) 13,126,521 shares of Kaiser's common stock,
(ii) an amount in cash equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends up to and
including the day immediately prior to the redemption date, and (iii) cash
in lieu of any fractional shares of common stock that would have otherwise
been issuable.
In May of 1995, the Company sold the remaining Depositary Shares that
it owned on December 31, 1994. As a result, the shares of Kaiser's common
stock which were issued upon redemption of the Series A Shares are held by
minority stockholders. The Company has recorded 100% of the losses
attributable to Kaiser's common stock since July 1993, as Kaiser's
cumulative losses through that date had eliminated Kaiser's equity with
respect to its common stock. The redemption of Kaiser's Series A Shares
decreased Kaiser's preferred equity, and reduced Kaiser's deficit in common
equity, by $134.3. Accordingly, the Company recorded an adjustment to
reduce the minority interests reflected on its consolidated balance sheet
for that same amount, with an offsetting decrease in the Company's
stockholders' deficit.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following should be read in conjunction with the response to Part
I, Item 1 of this Report and Items 7 and 8 of the Form 10-K. Any
capitalized terms used but not defined in this Item have the same meaning
given to them in the Form 10-K.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company operates in three industries: aluminum, through its
majority owned subsidiary Kaiser, a fully integrated aluminum producer;
forest products, through MAXXAM Group Inc. ("MGI") and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, principally The Pacific Lumber Company ("Pacific Lumber") and
Britt Lumber Co., Inc. ("Britt"); and real estate investment and
development, principally through MAXXAM Property Company and various other
wholly owned subsidiaries.
ALUMINUM OPERATIONS
Kaiser's operating results are sensitive to changes in prices of
alumina, primary aluminum and fabricated aluminum products, and also depend
to a significant degree upon the volume and mix of all products sold and on
hedging strategies. Kaiser, through its principal subsidiary KACC,
operates in two business segments: bauxite and alumina, and aluminum
processing. Aluminum operations account for a significant portion of the
Company's revenues and operating results. The following table presents
selected operational and financial information for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. The information presented in the
table is in millions of dollars except shipments and prices.

</TABLE>
Net sales
Bauxite and alumina. Revenues from net sales to third parties for the
bauxite and alumina segment were 7% higher in the third quarter of 1995
than in the third quarter of 1994, and were 17% higher in the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 than in the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
Revenues from alumina increased 6% in the third quarter of 1995 from the
third quarter of 1994, and increased 19% in the nine months ended September
30, 1995 from the nine months ended September 30, 1994, due to higher
average realized prices partially offset by lower shipments.
Aluminum processing. Revenues from net sales to third parties for the
aluminum processing segment were 23% higher in the third quarter of 1995
than in the third quarter of 1994, and were 25% higher in the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 than in the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
Revenues from primary aluminum increased 108% in the third quarter of 1995
from the third quarter of 1994, and increased 54% in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 from the nine months ended September 30, 1994, due
primarily to higher average realized prices and higher shipments. The
increase in revenues for the first nine months of 1995 was partially offset
by decreased shipments caused by the strike by the United Steelworkers of
America ("USWA") discussed below. Shipments of primary aluminum to third
parties were approximately 45% and 39% of total aluminum products shipments
in the third quarter of 1995 and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
respectively, compared with approximately 31% and 36% in the third quarter
of 1994 and nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively. Revenues
from fabricated aluminum products increased 4% in the third quarter of 1995
from the third quarter of 1994, and increased 17% in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 from the nine months ended September 30, 1994, due to
higher average realized prices partially offset by lower shipments for most
of these products.
Operating income (loss)
Kaiser's corporate general and administrative expenses of $20.5
million and $18.0 million for the third quarter of 1995 and 1994,
respectively, and $57.9 million and $53.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, were allocated by the Company to
the bauxite and alumina and aluminum processing segments based on those
segments' ratio of sales to unaffiliated customers.
Improved operating results in the third quarter of 1995 were partially
offset by expenditures related to Kaiser's joint venture in China (see --
Financial Condition and Investing and Financing Activities-- Aluminum
Operations), accelerated expenditures on Kaiser's micromill technology,
maintenance expenses as a result of an electrical lightning strike at
Kaiser's Trentwood, Washington, facility, and a work slowdown at Kaiser's
49%-owned Kaiser Jamaica Bauxite Company prior to signing a new labor
contract. The combined impact of these expenditures on the results for the
third quarter of 1995 was approximately $6.0 million (on a pre-tax basis).
Improved operating results in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were
partially offset by (i) an eight-day strike at five major domestic
locations by the USWA, (ii) a six-day strike by the National Workers Union
at Kaiser's 65%-owned Alpart alumina refinery in Jamaica, and (iii) a four-
day disruption of alumina production at Alpart caused by a boiler failure.
The combined impact of these events on the results for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 was approximately $17.0 million in the aggregate
(on a pre-tax basis) principally from lower production volume and other
related costs.
Bauxite and alumina. This segment had operating income of $10.9
million for the third quarter of 1995, compared with $4.1 million for the
third quarter of 1994, principally due to higher revenue. Operating income
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $25.1 million, compared
with an operating loss of $5.6 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1994, principally due to higher revenue, partially offset by the effect
of the strikes and boiler failure.
Aluminum processing. This segment had operating income of $43.9
million for the third quarter of 1995, compared with an operating loss of
$9.5 million for the third quarter of 1994, principally due to higher
revenue. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
$128.8 million, compared with an operating loss of $36.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1994, principally due to higher revenue,
partially offset by the effect of the strike by the USWA.
Income (loss) before income taxes, minority interests and
extraordinary item
Income before income taxes, minority interests and extraordinary item
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, as compared to
losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994, resulted
from the improvement in operating income previously described, partially
offset by other charges in the third quarter of 1995, principally related
to the establishment of additional litigation reserves.
FOREST PRODUCTS OPERATIONS
The Company's forest products operations are conducted by MGI through
its principal operating subsidiaries. MGI's business is highly seasonal in
that the forest products business generally experiences lower first and
fourth quarter sales during the winter months due largely to the general
decline in construction related activity. Accordingly, MGI's results for
any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the full year. The following table presents selected operational and
financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1995 and 1994. The information presented in the table is in millions of
dollars except shipments and prices.

</TABLE>
Shipments
Lumber shipments to third parties for the third quarter of 1995
decreased from the third quarter of 1994. Decreased shipments of both
common and upper grade redwood lumber were partially offset by increased
shipments of common grade Douglas-fir lumber. Log shipments for the third
quarter of 1995 were 4.8 million feet (net Scribner scale), an increase
from 1.6 million feet for the third quarter of 1994.
Lumber shipments to third parties for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 increased from the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
Increased shipments of common grade Douglas-fir lumber and redwood common
lumber were partially offset by decreased shipments of upper grade redwood
lumber. Log shipments for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were
6.9 million feet, a decrease from 12.0 million feet for the nine months
ended September 30, 1994.
Net sales
Revenues from net sales for the third quarter of 1995 increased as
compared to the third quarter of 1994. This increase was principally due
to higher sales of wood chips, higher shipments of common grade Douglas-fir
lumber, increased log shipments and an increase in the average realized
price for redwood common lumber, partially offset by decreased shipments of
common and upper grade redwood lumber.
Revenues from net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
were essentially unchanged from the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
Increased sales of wood chips, higher average realized prices for both
upper and common grades of redwood lumber, and increased shipments of
common grade Douglas-fir lumber and redwood common lumber were mostly
offset by decreased shipments of logs and upper grade redwood lumber, lower
average realized prices for logs and common grade Douglas-fir lumber, and
lower sales of electrical power.
Operating income
Operating income for the third quarter of 1995 and the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 decreased as compared to the same periods in 1994.
The decrease for the third quarter of 1995 was primarily due to higher
costs of lumber sales, partially offset by higher gross margins on wood
chip sales and increased sales of logs. The decrease for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 was primarily due to lower sales of logs and
higher costs of lumber sales, partially offset by higher gross margins on
wood chip sales and higher sales of lumber. Costs of lumber sales for both
1995 periods were unfavorably impacted by higher purchases of logs from
third parties, partially offset by improved sawmill productivity. Cost of
goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was reduced by $1.5
million of business interruption insurance proceeds for the settlement of
claims related to the April 1992 earthquake.
Income (loss) before income taxes, minority interests and
extraordinary item
Income (loss) before income taxes, minority interests and
extraordinary item improved for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994, and was unchanged for the third
quarters of 1995 and 1994. Increases in investment, interest and other
income were offset by the decreases in operating income as discussed above.
Investment, interest and other income (expense) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 included a pre-tax loss on the litigation settlement of
$21.2 million, along with a franchise tax refund of $7.2 million (the
substantial portion of which represented interest) from the State of
California.

</TABLE>
Net sales
Net sales for the third quarter of 1995 and the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 increased as compared to the same periods in 1994.
These increases were primarily due to a bulk sale of condominiums at the
Company's Palmas del Mar resort in Puerto Rico. In addition, net sales for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 includes a bulk sale of acreage in
Texas. Net sales for the 1994 periods included bulk acreage sales in New
Mexico.
Operating loss
The operating losses for the third quarter of 1995 and the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 increased slightly as compared to the same periods
in 1994. Operating results for the year-to-date period were favorably
impacted by the bulk sale of acreage in Texas, offset by higher overhead
costs.
Income (loss) before income taxes, minority interests and
extraordinary item
Income before income taxes, minority interests and extraordinary item
for the third quarter of 1995, as compared to the loss for the third
quarter of 1994, was primarily due to higher investment, interest and other
income. The loss before income taxes, minority interests and extraordinary
item for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 decreased from the nine
months ended September 30, 1994. This decrease was primarily due to higher
investment, interest and other income and lower interest expense.
Investment, interest and other income for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 includes the sale of three real properties (two in the third
quarter of 1995) from the RTC portfolio resulting in pre-tax gains of $3.7
million.

Operating loss
The operating losses represent corporate general and administrative
expenses that are not allocated to the Company's industry segments. The
operating losses for the third quarter of 1995 and the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 increased as compared to the same periods in 1994.
These increases were primarily due to accruals of $2.3 million and $1.1
million for certain contingencies the Company recorded during the second
and third quarters of 1995, respectively, and higher overhead costs.
Loss before income taxes, minority interests and extraordinary item
The loss before income taxes, minority interests and extraordinary
item includes operating losses, investment, interest and other income
(expense) and interest expense, including amortization of deferred
financing costs, that are not allocated to the Company's industry segments.
The losses for the third quarter of 1995 and the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 increased as compared to the same periods in 1994. The
increase for the third quarter of 1995 was primarily due to the increased
operating loss discussed above. The increase for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 was primarily due to the increased operating loss,
partially offset by higher investment, interest and other income.
Investment, interest and other income (expense) for the 1994 periods
includes the equity in losses of affiliates attributable to the Company's
equity interest in Sam Houston Race Park.
Credit (provision) for income taxes
The Company's credit (provision) for income taxes differs from the
federal statutory rate due principally to (i) revision of prior years' tax
estimates and other changes in valuation allowances, (ii) percentage
depletion, and (iii) foreign taxes, net of related federal tax benefits.
The Company's provision for income taxes as reflected in its consolidated
statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
reflects a benefit of approximately $18.0 million relating to the revision
of prior years' tax estimates and other changes in valuation allowances.
Minority interests
Minority interests represent the minority stockholders' interest in
the Company's aluminum operations.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
PARENT COMPANY
Certain of the Company's subsidiaries, principally Kaiser and MGI, are
restricted by their various debt agreements as to the amount of funds that
can be paid in the form of dividends or loaned to the Company. KACC's 1994
Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the KACC Senior Notes and the
KACC Notes contain covenants which, among other things, limit Kaiser's
ability to pay cash dividends and restrict transactions between Kaiser and
its affiliates. Under the most restrictive of these covenants, Kaiser is
not currently permitted to pay dividends on its common stock. The
indenture governing the MGI Notes contains various covenants which, among
other things, limit the payment of dividends and restrict transactions
between MGI and its affiliates. As of September 30, 1995, under the most
restrictive of these covenants, approximately $.6 million of dividends
could be paid by MGI. On September 29, 1995, MGI paid dividends of $4.8
million. Under the most restrictive covenants governing debt of the
Company's real estate subsidiaries, approximately $22.8 million could be
paid as of September 30, 1995.
As of September 30, 1995, the Company (excluding its aluminum, forest
products and real estate subsidiary companies) had cash and marketable
securities of approximately $35.7 million and available borrowings under
its demand loan and pledge agreement of $25.0 million. See also "--
Investment in Sam Houston Race Park" below. The Company believes that its
existing cash and marketable securities (excluding its aluminum, forest
products and real estate subsidiaries), together with the funds available
to it, will be sufficient to fund its working capital requirements for the
foreseeable future.
ALUMINUM OPERATIONS
In March 1995, the 1994 Credit Agreement was amended by the Second
Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment"). The Second
Amendment provided, among other things, for an increase in the revolving
line of credit from $275.0 million to $325.0 million (of which $125.0
million could be used for letters of credit). At September 30, 1995,
$210.0 million (of which $72.4 million could have been used for letters of
credit) was available to KACC under the 1994 Credit Agreement. As of July
20, 1995, the 1994 Credit Agreement was amended by the Third Amendment to
Credit Agreement in connection with the investment by Kaiser Yellow River
Investment Limited, a subsidiary of KACC, in Yellow River Aluminum Industry
Company Limited, an aluminum smelter joint venture in the People's Republic
of China.
Loans under the 1994 Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per
annum, at KACC's election, equal to a Reference Rate (as defined) plus 1
1/2% or LIBO Rate (Reserve Adjusted) (as defined) plus 3 1/4%. After June
30, 1995, the interest rate margins applicable to borrowings under the 1994
Credit Agreement may be reduced by up to 1 1/2% (non-cumulatively), based
on a financial test, determined quarterly. As of September 30, 1995, the
financial test permitted a reduction of 1% per annum in margins effective
October 1, 1995.
Kaiser expects that cash flows from operations and borrowings under
available sources of financing will be sufficient to satisfy its working
capital and capital expenditures requirements for the foreseeable future.
FOREST PRODUCTS OPERATIONS
MGI anticipates that cash flows from operations, together with
existing cash, marketable securities and available sources of financing,
will be sufficient to fund the working capital and capital expenditures
requirements of MGI and its respective subsidiaries for the foreseeable
future; however, due to its highly leveraged condition, MGI is more
sensitive than less leveraged companies to factors affecting its
operations, including governmental regulation affecting its timber
harvesting practices, increased competition from other lumber producers or
alternative building products and general economic conditions.
As of September 30, 1995, $18.1 million of borrowings was available
under Pacific Lumber's Revolving Credit Agreement, of which $3.1 million
was available for letters of credit. No borrowings were outstanding as of
September 30, 1995, and letters of credit outstanding amounted to $11.9
million. In November 1995, the Revolving Credit Agreement was amended to
extend its maturity date to May 31, 1998 and provide for an additional
$30.0 million of available borrowings which can be used for the acquisition
of timberlands.
REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS
As of September 30, 1995, the Company's real estate subsidiaries had
approximately $28.9 million available for use under various credit
agreements. A substantial portion of the availability was attributable to
the credit availability pursuant to the loan agreement secured by real
properties, and certain loans secured by income producing real property.
INVESTMENT IN SAM HOUSTON RACE PARK
In July 1993, the Company, through various subsidiaries, assumed
control of the general partner of, and acquired an equity interest in, Sam
Houston Race Park, Ltd. ("SHRP"), a Texas limited partnership, which owns
and operates Sam Houston Race Park, a Texas Class 1 horse racing facility
located within the greater Houston metropolitan area. On April 17, 1995,
SHRP and its wholly owned subsidiary, SHRP Capital Corp., together with
SHRP Acquisition, Inc. (collectively, the "Debtors"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company and SHRP's largest limited partner, filed
voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware. The Delaware Court subsequently transferred the case to the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston
Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"), Jointly Administered Case number 95-
43739-H3-11, each seeking to reorganize under the provisions of Chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On September 22, 1995, the
Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Sixth Amended Consolidated
Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors (the "Plan"). The transactions
called for by the Plan were completed on October 6, 1995. A new investor
group (the "New SHRP Investor Group") made a capital contribution of cash
in the aggregate amount of approximately $5.9 million (affiliates of the
Company contributed $5.8 million). Additionally, an affiliate of the
Company contributed to SHRP an adjoining approximately 87 acre tract of
land (having a fair market value of $2.3 million). The new managing
general partner of the reorganized SHRP (the "SHRP Managing General
Partner") is SHRP General Partner, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. The SHRP Managing General Partner was issued a 1% interest in the
reorganized SHRP in exchange for contributing its pro rata share of the
investment made by the New SHRP Investor Group. On October 20, 1995, an
affiliate of the Company agreed to purchase, for approximately $7.3
million, approximately $14.6 million of SHRP's amended Senior Secured Notes
and the corresponding shares of common stock of SHRP Equity, Inc. (a
Delaware corporation and an additional general partner of the reorganized
SHRP) to which one noteholder is entitled. Such shares of common stock
represent approximately 39.0% of the shares of common stock of SHRP Equity,
Inc. After giving effect to this transaction, affiliates of the Company
hold, directly or indirectly, approximately 78.8% of the equity in the
reorganized SHRP.
TRENDS
ALUMINUM OPERATIONS
Hedging Programs
In respect of its remaining 1995 anticipated net exposure, at October
31, 1995, KACC had net forward sales contracts for 25,950 tons of primary
aluminum at fixed prices, had purchased call options in respect of 11,500
tons of primary aluminum, had purchased put options to establish a minimum
price for 32,250 tons of primary aluminum, and had entered into option
contracts that established a price range for 15,000 tons of primary
aluminum. In respect of its 1996 anticipated net exposure, at October 31,
1995, KACC had sold forward 6,100 tons of primary aluminum at fixed prices
(see Note 8 of the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
contained herein).
Pacific Northwest
On November 6, 1996, KACC announced that it has signed new agreements
with each of the Bonneville Power Administration (the "BPA") and the
Washington Water Power Company (the "WWP"), each ending September 30, 2001,
with respect to its electric power requirements in the Pacific Northwest.
The agreement with the BPA is for the purchase of electric power and the
agreement with the WWP is for power management services. These new
arrangements contemplate a reduction in the amount of power which KACC will
purchase from BPA in the future and the replacement of such power with
power purchased from other suppliers under a variety of terms.
Contemporaneously with entering into these agreements, KACC entered into a
one-year power supply contract with BPA, ending September 30, 1996, in
connection with the restart of idled capacity at its Mead smelter in
Spokane, Washington. The restart began in late October 1995, and KACC
expects to return the Mead smelter to full production by early 1996.
FOREST PRODUCTS OPERATIONS
In recent developments, on June 30, 1995, the United States Supreme
Court issued the Sweet Home v. Babbitt decision finding that under the
federal Endangered Species Act (the "ESA") the use of private property can
be restricted in a manner to prevent significant modification to habitat
for endangered or threatened species. Also, in July 1995, in a case
entitled Marbled Murrelet v. Babbitt (Case No. C-91-522R), a U.S. District
Court in Seattle ordered the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the "USFWS")
to make its final designation of critical habitat for the marbled murrelet
by January 29, 1996 and to issue its proposed final designation of critical
habitat by August 1, 1995. On August 10, 1995, the USFWS published its
proposed final designation of critical habitat for the marbled murrelet,
designating over four million acres as critical habitat for the marbled
murrelet, including approximately 33,000 acres of Pacific Lumber's
timberlands. The proposed designation was subject to a 60-day comment
period and Pacific Lumber filed comments vigorously opposing the proposed
designation. It is impossible to determine the potential adverse impact of
such designation on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations until such time as the proposed designation is
finalized and related regulatory and legal issues are fully resolved.
However, if Pacific Lumber is unable to harvest, or is severely limited in
harvesting, on timberlands designated as marbled murrelet critical habitat,
such restrictions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position and results of operations. If Pacific
Lumber is unable to harvest or is severely limited in harvesting, Pacific
Lumber intends to seek full compensation from the appropriate governmental
agencies on the grounds that such restrictions constitute a regulatory
taking.
There continue to be other regulatory actions and lawsuits seeking to
have various species listed as threatened or endangered under the ESA
and/or the California Endangered Species Act and to designate critical
habitat for such species. It is uncertain what impact, if any, such
listings and/or designations of critical habitat will have on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
During the first five months of 1995, a combination of severe weather
conditions, seasonally low log inventories, the issuance of a temporary
restraining order ("TRO") (which required Pacific Lumber to cease all
timber harvesting operations on one of the few all-season harvest sites
from which it had been able to supplement its log inventories), and other
regulatory delays forced Pacific Lumber to curtail operations at one of its
four sawmills and to temporarily idle another sawmill from April 17 to May
2, 1995. During late May, the weather improved and the TRO was lifted,
thereby allowing Pacific Lumber to resume operations on such harvesting
site. Accordingly, Pacific Lumber has since been able to secure an
adequate supply of logs in order to resume normal operations of its
sawmills.
Additional judicial or regulatory actions adverse to Pacific Lumber,
further regulatory delays and inclement weather in northern California,
independently or collectively, could again impair Pacific Lumber's ability
to maintain adequate log inventories and force Pacific Lumber to
temporarily idle or curtail operations at certain of its lumber mills from
time to time.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of
("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the
estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual
disposition of an asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an
impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss is based
on the fair value of the asset. SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of be reported at the
lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company is
required to adopt SFAS 121 no later than January 1, 1996. The Company is
currently evaluating certain of its real estate properties with respect to
application of SFAS 121; accordingly, the effect of SFAS 121 on the
Company's financial statements is not known at this time.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Reference is made to Item 3 of the Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1 of
the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods
ended March 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 (the "Forms 10-Q") for information
concerning material legal proceedings with respect to the Company. The
following material developments have occurred with respect to such legal
proceedings. Any capitalized or italicized terms used but not defined in
this Item have the same meaning given to them in the Form 10-K and the
Forms 10-Q.
In connection with the Kayes/Miller action, on October 10, 1995, the
U.S. Supreme Court denied defendants' petition for writ of certiorari. The
U.S. District Court is expected to reassume jurisdiction of this case. A
status conference is scheduled for November 17, 1995 in this case and the
DOL civil action.
KAISER ENVIRONMENTAL LITIGATION
With respect to the Catellus Development Corporation v. Kaiser
Aluminum & Chemical Corporation and James L. Ferry & Sons, Inc. action, on
June 2, 1995, the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California (the "District Court") issued an Order stating its preliminary
findings on the remaining claims in that action. On October 12, 1995, the
District Court issued final Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law on
those claims concluding that KACC is liable for various costs and interest
through August 30, 1995, aggregating approximately $2.2 million, fifty
percent (50%) of the future costs of cleaning up certain parts of the
Property and certain fees and costs. Entry of judgment is pending.
With respect to the United States of America v. Kaiser Aluminum &
Chemical Corporation action, KACC and the Environmental Protection Agency
(the "EPA"), without adjudication of any issue of fact or law, and without
any admission of the violations alleged in the underlying complaint, have
entered into a Consent Decree, which on October 31, 1995, was filed for
approval in United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Washington. If approved, this Consent Decree would settle the underlying
disputes and require KACC to (i) pay a $.5 million civil penalty, (ii)
complete a program of plant improvements and operational changes that began
in 1990 at its Trentwood facility, including the installation of an
emission control system to capture particulate emissions from certain
furnaces, and (iii) achieve and maintain furnace compliance with the
opacity standard in the SIP by no later than February 28, 1997. The
Company anticipates that capital expenditures for the environmental upgrade
of the furnace operation at its Trentwood facility, including the
improvements and changes required by the Consent Decree, will be
approximately $20.0 million.
With respect to the asbestos-related litigation described in the Form
10-K, see Note 7 of the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements contained herein.
RANCHO MIRAGE LITIGATION
In connection with the In re MAXXAM Inc./Federated Development
Shareholders Litigation, the Court recently rescheduled the trial date to
January 22, 1996.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
PARENT COMPANY
In connection with FDIC v. Hurwitz (No. H-95-3936), defendant's motion
to dismiss this case is expected to be considered by the Court in December
1995.
In connection with the OTS investigation, by letter dated November 1,
1995, the Enforcement Office of the OTS advised that, subject to final
approval by the acting director of the OTS, the OTS intends to issue a
notice of charges against the Company after 30 days from the date of the
letter. It is the Company's understanding that other individuals and
entities involved in the investigation of the failure of USAT have received
similar notices from the OTS. Although the OTS has not formally
articulated any claims against the Company, the Enforcement Office of the
OTS has stated that the charges may include, among other things, claims
that the Company had a duty to maintain the net worth of USAT and that the
Company is liable for the alleged unsafe and unsound practices of others.
In January 1995, an action entitled U.S., ex rel., Martel v. Hurwitz,
et al. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
California (No. C950322) against Charles Hurwitz, MGI, Federated
Development Company, UFG and a former director of the Company. The action
was unsealed in September 1995 but to date has not been served. In October
1995, plaintiff filed an amended complaint which adds the Company as a
defendant. The suit alleges that defendants made false statements and claims
in violation of the Federal False Claims Act in connection with USAT.
Plaintiff alleges, among other things, that defendants used the federally
insured assets of USAT to acquire junk bonds from Michael Milken and Drexel,
Burnham, Lambert Inc. ("Drexel") and that, in exchange, Mr. Milken and Drexel
arranged financing for defendants' various business ventures, including the
acquisition of Pacific Lumber. Plaintiff alleges that USAT became insolvent
in 1988 and that defendants should be required to pay $1.6 billion (subject to
trebling) to cover USAT's losses. Plaintiff seeks, among other things,
that the Court impose a constructive trust upon the fruits of the alleged
improper use of USAT funds. This action is purportedly brought by
plaintiff on behalf of the U.S. government; however, it is the Company's
understanding that the U.S. government has declined to participate in the
suit.
FOREST PRODUCTS OPERATIONS
A variety of bills are currently pending in the California legislature
and the U.S. Congress which relate to the business of the Company,
including the protection and acquisition of old growth and other
timberlands, environmental protection and the restriction, regulation and
administration of timber harvesting practices. For example, a bill is
pending in the California legislature which would, among other things,
initiate negotiations by the California Resources Agency with Pacific
Lumber for the public acquisition of approximately 4,700 acres of Pacific
Lumber's timberlands, 3,000 acres of which is a contiguous block of virgin
old growth redwood forest often referred to as the "Headwaters Forest."
Since this bill and the other bills are subject to amendment, it is
premature to assess the ultimate content of these bills, the likelihood of
any of the bills passing, or the impact of these bills on the financial
position or results of operations of Pacific Lumber or the Company.
Furthermore, any bills which are passed are subject to executive veto and
court challenge.
