               TEMPLE-INLAND INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes included in, or incorporated
into, Temple-Inland Inc.'s (the "Company") Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1996.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Temple-Inland Inc. and all subsidiaries in which the Company has
more than a 50 percent equity ownership.  However, because
certain assets and liabilities are in separate corporate
entities, the consolidated assets are not available to satisfy
all consolidated liabilities.  All material intercompany amounts
and transactions have been eliminated.  Certain amounts have been
reclassified to conform with current year's classification.

Included as an integral part of the consolidated financial
statements are separate summarized financial statements for the
Company's primary business groups.

The Parent Company's (Temple-Inland Inc.) summarized financial
statements include the accounts of Temple-Inland Inc. and its
manufacturing subsidiaries with the Financial Services
subsidiaries and the 20 percent to 50 percent owned companies
being reflected in the financial statements on the equity basis.

The Temple-Inland Financial Services Group's summarized financial
statements include savings bank, mortgage banking, real estate
development activities and insurance operations.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128,  Earnings Per Share , which is effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15,
1997.  The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of earnings
per share is not expected to be material.

               TEMPLE-INLAND INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE B - CONTINGENCIES

There are pending against the Company and its subsidiaries
lawsuits and claims arising in the regular course of business. 
In the opinion of management, recoveries, if any, by plaintiffs
or claimants that may result from the foregoing litigation and
claims will not be material in relation to the consolidated
financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Company has previously disclosed that as a result of
allegations made by a former employee in a wrongful termination
lawsuit and to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
 Commission ), the Commission began a non-public investigation
into the allegations.  The Company has denied the allegations and
remains confident that the results of the investigation will
determine the allegations to be without merit or grounds
whatsoever and will not have an adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

NOTE C - ACQUISITIONS

On June 27, 1997 the Company acquired California Financial
Holding Company, the parent company of Stockton Savings Bank,
F.S.B., and merged Stockton Savings Bank into Guaranty Federal
Bank.  The purchase price of $143.4 million included $47.3
million in cash and approximately 1,615,000 shares of Temple-
Inland Inc. common stock valued at $96.1 million.  The
acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.  The net assets acquired consisted of $24.6 million
in cash, $955.1 million of loans, $297.5 million of mortgage-
backed securities and investments, $126.5 million in other
assets, $982.2 million of deposits, $320.1 million of FHLB
advances and other borrowings, and $13.0 million of other
liabilities.  The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the
fair market value of net assets acquired of approximately $55
million was recognized as goodwill and is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 25 years.  The operating results of
Stockton Savings Bank have been included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

On June 4, 1997, Temple-Inland Mortgage Corporation acquired
Knutson Mortgage Company.  The net assets acquired consisted
primarily of $94.6 million in mortgage loans held for sale, $72.3
million in mortgage loan servicing rights, $15.8 million in other
assets, $161.8 million in debt, and $6.3 million in other
liabilities.  The acquisition has been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting with the net assets acquired
approximating the purchase price paid.  The operating results of
Knutson Mortgage Company have been included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

Third Quarter 1997 vs. Third Quarter 1996

Third quarter earnings for 1997 totaled $12.6 million, or $.22
per share, a decrease of 62.7 percent from third quarter 1996 net
income of $32.7 million or $.59 per share.  Revenues for the
period were $938.4 million, up 8.8 percent from the $862.5
million reported for the same quarter of 1996.

The paper group recorded an operating loss of $19.0 million for
the quarter compared with operating earnings of $16.4 million for
the third quarter of 1996.  Demand for linerboard and boxes
continued to improve in the quarter, and box shipments were at
record levels for the quarter.  The record level of shipments,
coupled with the downtime taken early in the quarter, resulted in
containerboard inventories approaching historically low levels. 
The downward trend in box prices experienced throughout the
second quarter continued into July.  Although prices began to
rebound in August, average box prices for the quarter were down
$55 per ton from last year's third quarter and remained slightly
below this year's second quarter.  Prices for old corrugated
containers (OCC), the principal raw material used in our recycle
operations, also rose sharply in the quarter, negatively
impacting earnings.  OCC prices, however, moderated late in the
quarter.  

The average price for bleached paperboard products was up
slightly in the quarter as pricing increased for some products
and the mix continued to improve.  Production in the quarter was
hampered by pulp mill operation problems, and shipments were
below second quarter levels due to seasonal factors and
disruptions associated with rail transportation difficulties.

The building products group reported third quarter operating
earnings of $34.7 million, an increase of 10.5 percent from the
prior year's third quarter.  Although lumber prices trended
downward in the quarter, the average price for the quarter
remained 11.2 percent higher than last year's third quarter.  The
market for high value fiberboard products remained strong with
competitive pricing pressure experienced in most other products
in this segment.  As a result of weak demand from the ready-to-
assemble furniture manufacturers, demand for particleboard slowed
in the quarter and pricing declined.  Gypsum markets remained
strong and prices rose late in the quarter.

The financial services group reported record third quarter
operating earnings of $37.4 million.  This compares with
operating earnings of $26.4 million (excluding a $44 million
assessment in connection with the recapitalization of the Savings
Association Insurance Fund) in the third quarter of 1996.  These
record operating earnings were primarily a result of improved net
interest income, continued excellent levels of non-operating
expenses, and initial cost savings related to the acquisition of
Stockton Savings Bank.

Net interest expense decreased to $27.3 million in the current
quarter compared with $27.4 million in the third quarter of last
year.



<PAGE>17


The tax provision for the third quarter of 1997 was $9.1 million. 
The tax provision for the third quarter of 1996 includes a one-
time credit of $31.5 million that was recorded as a result of the
termination of the Assistance Agreement between the Company and
the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (the  FSLIC ). 
As a part of this termination agreement, the Company and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as successor to the FSLIC
agreed to a one-time payment that was based on the present value
of future liabilities.  The recognition of this credit to its tax
provision in 1996 is a result of the completion of this
transaction.


First Nine Months of 1997 vs. First Nine Months of 1996

Earnings for the first nine months of 1997 were $41.4 million, or
$.74 per share compared with $114.5 million, or $2.06 per share
for the first nine months of last year.  Revenues of $2,697.2
million were up slightly from the 1996 first nine months of
$2,614.6 million.

The paper group lost $36.2 million compared with earnings of
$106.4 million in the first nine months of 1996.  Although box
shipments for the corrugated container operation were up compared
with the same period last year, the continued downward pressure
on box prices more than offset the benefit of the record volumes. 
The bleached paperboard operation continued to experience
improved sales and production volumes. 

The building products group earned $103.2 million, up from $75.4
million for the first nine months of 1996.  This improvement in
earnings is primarily due to increased earnings for the solid
wood and gypsum operations.

The financial services group earned $99.3 million for the first
nine months of 1997.  This compares with operating earnings of
$80.8 million (excluding a $44 million assessment in connection
with the recapitalization of the Savings Association Fund) for
the last year's comparable period.  These record operating
earnings were primarily a result of improved net interest income
and a decrease in provision for loan losses.


Financial Condition

The Company's financial condition continues to be strong. 
Internally generated funds, existing credit facilities and the
capacity to issue long-term debt are sufficient to fund projected
capital expenditures, to service existing debt, to pay dividends
and to meet normal working capital requirements.  As part of the
Company's share repurchase plan, approximately 744,930 shares
were repurchased year-to-date in 1997 at a cost of $44.5 million.

Guaranty Federal Bank continues to exceed all three regulatory
capital requirements.
