    Rome sawmill from the corrugated container operation to the Building
    Products Group.
 
(a) The annual capacity of the box plants is not given because such annual
    capacity is a function of the product mix, customer requirements, and the
    type of converting equipment installed and operating at each plant, each of
    which varies from time to time. The rated annual capacity of Inland's
    corrugating medium mills is approximately 600,000 tons per year. The rated
    annual capacity of the linerboard mills is approximately 2.1 million tons
    per year.
 
(b) The annual capacity of the four paper machines in operation at the
    paperboard and pulp mill is approximately 725,000 tons, which excludes the
    capacity of a cylinder machine at the mill that the Company decided to shut
    down late in 1993 due to market conditions for the grade it produced. Such
    capacity may vary to some degree depending on product mix. The annual
    capacity of Temple-Inland Food Service Corporation is not given because such
    annual capacity is a function of the product mix, customer requirements, and
    the type of converting equipment installed and operating at each plant, all
    of which vary from time to time.
 
(c) The annual capacity for the particleboard plants includes the rated annual
    capacity of the Hope, Arkansas, plant, which began operations late in 1995
    but did not reach full production until the fourth quarter of 1996. The
    capacity figures for 1996 reflect the increase at the Monroeville, Alabama,
    plant that resulted from a renovation of this facility during the year.
 
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS:
 
     The business of the Company is divided among three groups: (1) the Paper
Group, which consists of the corrugated container and bleached paperboard
operations, (2) the Building Products Group, and (3) the Financial Services
Group. In the year ended December 28, 1996, the Paper Group, Building Products
Group, and Financial Services Group provided 60 percent, 16 percent, and 24
percent, respectively, of the total consolidated net revenues of the Company.
 
     Paper Group. During 1996, the Company consolidated the management of its
paper operations under the leadership of William B. Howes, Executive Vice
President of the Company. This group is now comprised of two operations, the
results from which had previously been reported separately as corrugated
container and bleached paperboard.
 
                                        4

     (i) Corrugated Container. The corrugated container operation of the Company
manufactures containerboard that it converts into a complete line of corrugated
boxes and containers. Approximately 83 percent of the containerboard produced by
Inland in 1996 was converted into corrugated containers at its box plants. The
Company's nationwide network of box plants produces a wide range of products
from commodity brown boxes to intricate die cut containers that can be printed
with multi-color graphics. Even though the corrugated box business is
characterized by commodity pricing, each order for each customer is a custom
order. Inland's corrugated boxes are sold to a variety of customers in the food,
paper, glass containers, chemical, appliance, and plastics industries, among
others. As of December 28, 1996, about 46 percent of the Company's box shipments
were sold directly for use in the food industry, including beverage containers.
 
     Following an acquisition in 1994, the Company also manufactures
litho-laminate corrugated packaging and high graphics folding cartons. Other
products manufactured by the Company include bulk containers constructed of
multi-wall corrugated board for extra strength, which are used for bulk
shipments of various materials, paper sealing tape, and other tape specialties.
 
     In the corrugated container operation, the Company services about 6,800
customers with approximately 11,000 shipping destinations. The largest single
customer accounted for approximately 4 percent and the 10 largest customers
accounted for approximately 28 percent of the 1996 corrugated container
revenues. Costs of freight and customer service requirements necessitate the
location of box plants relatively close to customers. Each plant tends to
service a market within a 150-mile radius of the plant.
 
     Sales of corrugated shipping containers closely track changing population
patterns and other demographics. Historically, there has been a correlation
between the demand for containers and containerboard and real growth in the
United States gross domestic product.
 
     (ii) Bleached Paperboard. The bleached paperboard operation of the Company
produces various grades and weights of coated and uncoated bleached paperboard,
bleached linerboard, and bleached bristols. These materials are used by other
paper companies and by manufacturers that buy paper in roll lots and convert it
into such items as paper cups, plates, file folders, folding cartons, paperback
book covers, and various other packaging and convenience products.
 
     Bleached paperboard products are sold to a large number of customers. Sales
to the largest customer of this operation, with whom the Company has a
long-standing contractual relationship, accounted for approximately 14 percent
of bleached paperboard sales in 1996. This level of sales is consistent with
sales to this customer over the past several years. Although the loss of this
customer could have a material adverse effect on this operation, it would not
have a material adverse effect on the Company taken as a whole. The 10 largest
customers accounted for approximately 50 percent of bleached paperboard sales in
1996. During 1996, sales were made to customers in 43 states, Mexico, and Puerto
Rico, as well as to independent distributors through which this operation's
products were exported to Asia, Japan, Central America, and South America.
Contracts specifying annual tonnage quantities are maintained with several major
customers.
 
     Demand for bleached paperboard products generally correlates with real
growth in the United States gross domestic product, but is also affected by
inventory levels maintained by paperboard converters as well as a number of
other factors, including changes in industry production capacity and the
strength of international markets.
 
     Temple-Inland Food Service Corporation ("Food Service") is an integrated
paper converter formed to manufacture and market paper containers and products
primarily for the food service industry. Products manufactured include paper
plates and bowls, clamshells, carrying trays and boxes, nested food trays, fry
cartons, and pails. These products are sold to the fast food industry, retail
consumer stores, and restaurants and cafeterias for use in food service.
 
     Building Products Group. The Building Products Group produces a wide
variety of building products, such as lumber, plywood, particleboard, gypsum
wallboard, hardboard siding, and fiberboard sheathing.
 
     Sales of building products are concentrated in the southeastern and
southwestern United States. No significant sales are generated under long-term
contracts. Sales of most of these products are made by account
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   7
 
managers and representatives to distributors, retailers, and O.E.M. (original
equipment manufacturer) accounts. Almost 75 percent of particleboard sales are
to commercial fabricators, such as manufacturers of cabinets and furniture. The
10 largest customers accounted for approximately 21 percent of the Building
Products Group's 1996 sales.
 
     The building products business is heavily dependent upon the level of
residential housing expenditures, including the repair and remodeling market,
which is largely dependent upon the availability and cost of mortgage funds.
 
     During the year, the Company completed an upgrade to its particleboard mill
in Monroeville, Alabama. Similar renovation projects are scheduled at the
Diboll, Texas, and Thomson, Georgia, particleboard plants during 1997. During
the year, this group entered into three joint ventures, in each of which it owns
a 50 percent interest. One of these joint ventures will produce medium density
fiberboard at a facility under construction in Arkansas. Another of these joint
ventures will produce cement fiberboard at a plant under construction in Texas.
The third joint venture was the acquisition of an existing facility for the
production of gypsum wallboard and a related quarry.
 
     Financial Services Group. The Financial Services Group operates a savings
bank and engages in mortgage banking, real estate development, and insurance
activities.
 
     (i) Savings Bank. Guaranty is a federally-chartered stock savings bank
operated by the Company through its financial services subsidiaries. Guaranty
conducts its business through 113 banking centers located primarily in the
eastern third of Texas, including Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin. The
primary activities of Guaranty include attracting savings deposits from the
general public, investing in loans secured by mortgages on residential real
estate, lending for the construction of real estate projects, and providing a
variety of loan products to consumers and businesses.
 
     Guaranty derives its income primarily from interest earned on real estate
mortgages, commercial and business loans, consumer loans, and investment
securities, as well as fees received in connection with loans and deposit
services. Its major expense is the interest it pays on consumer deposits and
other borrowings. The operations of Guaranty, like those of other savings
institutions, are significantly influenced by general economic conditions, by
the monetary, fiscal, and regulatory policies of the federal government, and by
the policies of financial institution regulatory authorities. Deposit flows and
costs of funds are influenced by interest rates on competing investments and
general market rates of interest. Lending activities are affected by the demand
for mortgage financing and for other types of loans as well as market
conditions. Guaranty primarily seeks assets with interest rates that adjust
periodically rather than assets with long-term fixed rates.
 
     During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with California Financial Holding
Company ("CFHC"), the parent corporation of Stockton Savings Bank, F.S.B.
("Stockton") headquartered in Stockton, California, by which CFHC will be merged
into the Company. The transaction, which is subject to approval by the CFHC
stockholders and by regulatory authorities, is expected to close during the
second quarter of 1997. Terms of the Merger Agreement provide for CFHC
stockholders to receive a combination of common stock of the Company and cash
valued at $30 per share, for a total consideration of approximately $150
million. Subject to certain limitations, each CFHC stockholder will be given the
election to have the consideration for their shares paid in Company common
stock, cash or a combination of the two. The Company, however, will issue no
more than 1,692,000 shares of common stock in the transaction. The Merger
Agreement permits CFHC to terminate the transaction if the price of the common
stock of the Company, as calculated, is below $40 per share, provided that the
number of shares of Company common stock issued in the transaction has not been
increased. When the transaction is completed, the operations of Stockton, which
has approximately $1.3 billion in assets and operates 23 branches in the Central
Valley of California, will be merged into Guaranty. In connection with execution
of the Merger Agreement, CFHC granted the Company an option, exercisable under
certain circumstances, to purchase 940,095 shares of CFHC common stock,
representing approximately 19.9 percent of the shares presently outstanding, at
a price of $27.25 per share.

     During 1996, Congress adopted legislation to recapitalize the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and merge the SAIF with the Bank Insurance
Fund. This legislation imposed a one-time special assessment on SAIF members
equal to 67.5 basis points of insured deposits, or approximately $44 million in
the case of Guaranty. Under this legislation, Guaranty will not currently be
required to pay any deposit insurance premiums, but will be required to pay
approximately 6.5 basis points on insured deposits to fund certain Financial
Corporation (FICO) bond obligations. Based on the current level of Guaranty's
deposits, this legislation will ultimately reduce future assessments by
approximately $11 million per year.
 
     The House and Senate are also discussing additional legislative proposals,
including changes to tax laws, related to the thrift industry. At this time, the
Company is not able to predict if any of these proposals will be adopted or, if
adopted, the ultimate impact they might have on the Company.
 
     In addition to other minimum capital standards, regulations of the Office
of Thrift Supervision of the Department of the Treasury (the "OTS") currently
require savings institutions to maintain a leverage capital ratio of at least 3
percent of adjusted total assets. Guaranty, however, has agreed with the OTS
that at the time it makes any future acquisitions, it will maintain a leverage
capital ratio of at least 4 percent of adjusted total assets, and in order to
obtain the lowest level of FDIC insurance premiums, Guaranty must meet a
leverage capital ratio of at least 5 percent of adjusted total assets. At
December 31, 1996, Guaranty had a leverage capital ratio of 5.52 percent of
adjusted total assets. For additional information regarding regulatory capital
requirements, see Note L to Financial Services Group Summarized Financial
Statements on page 49 of the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders, which
is incorporated herein by reference.
 
     Guaranty must meet or exceed certain tests to continue its current
activities and to take certain deductions under the Internal Revenue Code. At
December 31, 1996, Guaranty met or exceeded these tests and intends to continue
meeting or exceeding these tests.
 
     (ii) Mortgage Banking. Temple-Inland Mortgage, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Guaranty, headquartered in Austin, Texas, originates, warehouses, and services
FHA, VA, and conventional mortgage loans primarily on single family residential
property. Temple-Inland Mortgage originates mortgage loans for sale into the
secondary market. It typically retains the servicing rights on these loans, but
periodically sells some portion of its servicing to third parties. At December
31, 1996, Temple-Inland Mortgage was servicing $17.9 billion in mortgage loans,
including loans serviced for affiliates and approximately $2.4 billion in
mortgages serviced for a third party. Temple-Inland Mortgage produced $1.9
billion in mortgage loans during 1996 compared with $1.2 billion during 1995.
 
     (iii) Real Estate Development and Income Properties. Subsidiaries of
Financial Services are involved in the development of 24 residential
subdivisions in Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, and
Tennessee. The real estate group of the Company also owns 10 commercial
properties.
 
     (iv) Insurance. Subsidiaries of Financial Services are engaged in the
brokerage of property, casualty, life, and group health insurance products. One
of these subsidiaries is an insurance agency that administers the marketing and
distribution of several mortgage-related personal life, accident, and health
insurance programs. This agency also acts as the risk management department of
the Company. An affiliate of the agency sells annuities through banks and
savings banks, including Guaranty.
 
     (v) Statistical Disclosures. The following tables present various
statistical and financial information for Financial Services.

     Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis, accruing loans that are
contractually past due 90 days or more, and restructured or other potential
problem loans were less than two percent of total loans during 1996, 1995, 1994,
1993, and 1992. The aggregate amounts and the interest income foregone on such
loans, therefore, are immaterial and are not disclosed.

     The amount charged to operations and the related balance in the allowance
for loan losses are based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio by
management. These evaluations consider several factors, including without
limitation, past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the
portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay,
estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions.
 
     Deposits. The average amount of deposits and the average rates paid on
noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, savings
deposits, and time deposits are presented on the schedule of average balance
sheets and analysis of net interest spread of Financial Services on page 8
hereof.
 
     The amount of time deposits of $100,000 or more and related maturities at

     The balance of the wood fiber required for these operations was purchased
from numerous landowners and other lumber companies. In an effort to meet its
projected need for hardwood fiber, the Company operates a eucalyptus plantation
in Mexico. The Company expects to begin receiving fiber from this project in
four to six years. During 1996, the bleached paperboard mill in Evadale, Texas,
purchased small amounts of recycled pulp. Now that the expansion program is
completed, this mill may purchase increasing amounts of recycled fiber.
 
     Linerboard and corrugating medium are the principal materials used by
Inland to make corrugated boxes. The mills at Rome, Georgia, and Orange, Texas,
are solely linerboard mills. The Ontario, California, and Maysville, Kentucky,
mills are traditionally linerboard mills, but can be used to manufacture
corrugating medium. The Newport, Indiana, Newark, California, and New
Johnsonville, Tennessee, mills are solely corrugating medium mills. The
principal raw material used by the Rome, Georgia, and Orange, Texas, mills is
virgin fiber. The Ontario, California; Newark, California; Newport, Indiana; and
Maysville, Kentucky, mills use only old corrugated containers ("OCC"). The mill
at New Johnsonville, Tennessee, uses a combination of virgin fiber and OCC. In
1996, OCC represented approximately 43% of the total fiber needs of the
Company's containerboard operations. The price of OCC may exhibit volatility due
to normal supply and demand fluctuations for the raw material and for the
finished product. OCC is purchased by the Company and its competitors on the
open market from numerous suppliers. Price fluctuations reflect the
competitiveness of these markets. The Company's historical grade patterns
produce more linerboard and less corrugating medium than is converted at the
Company's box plants. The deficit of corrugating medium is obtained through open
market purchases and/or trades and the excess linerboard is sold in the open
market.
 
     Temple-Inland FPC obtains the gypsum for its wallboard operations from its
own quarry near Fletcher, Oklahoma, and from one outside source through a
long-term purchase contract.
 
     In the opinion of management, the sources outlined above will be sufficient
to supply the Company's raw material needs for the foreseeable future.
 
ENERGY
 
     Energy requirements at the Company's manufacturing facilities are supplied
by electricity, steam, and a variety of fuels, including natural gas, fuel oil,
coal, and in some instances, waste products resulting from the manufacturing
process at the facility concerned. By utilizing these waste products, Inland was
able to generate approximately 13 percent of its energy requirements at its
mills in Rome, Georgia, and Orange, Texas, and Temple-Inland FPC generated
approximately 48 percent of its energy requirements during 1996. The Ontario,
California, mill includes a cogeneration plant that sells excess electricity
generated to an electric utility. In most cases where natural gas or fuel oil is
used as a fuel, the Company's facilities possess a dual capacity enabling them
to use either of the fuels as a source of energy.
 
     The natural gas needed to run the Company's natural gas fueled power
boilers is acquired pursuant to multiple gas contracts that provide for the
purchase of gas on an interruptible basis at favorable rates.

     The Company has additional collective bargaining agreements with the
employees of various of its other box plants, mills, and building products
plants. These agreements each cover a relatively small number of employees and
are negotiated on an individual basis at each such facility.
 
     The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
 
     The operations conducted by the subsidiaries of the Company are subject to
federal, state, and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into
the environment and otherwise related to the protection of the environment.
Compliance with these provisions, primarily the Federal Clean Air Act, Clean
Water Act, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986
("CERCLA"), and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), has required
the Company to invest substantial funds to modify facilities to assure
compliance with applicable environmental regulations. Capital expenditures
directly related to environmental compliance totaled approximately $12 million
during 1996. This amount does not include capital expenditures for environmental
control facilities made as part of major mill modernizations and expansions or
capital expenditures made for another purpose that have an indirect benefit on
environmental compliance.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   17
 
     The Company is committed to protecting the health and welfare of its
employees, the public, and the environment and strives to maintain compliance
with all state and federal environmental regulations in a manner that is also
cost effective. In the construction of new facilities and the modernization of
existing facilities, such as the modernization at the mill in Evadale, Texas,
the Company has used state of the art technology for its air and water
emissions. These forward-looking programs are intended to minimize the impact
that changing regulations have on capital expenditures for environmental
compliance.
 
     Future expenditures for environmental control facilities will depend on new
laws and regulations and other changes in legal requirements and agency
interpretations thereof, as well as technological advances. The Company expects
the trend toward more stringent environmental regulation to continue for the
foreseeable future. The trend in interpretation and application of existing
regulations by regulatory authorities also appears to be toward increasing
stringency particularly under RCRA with respect to certain solid wastes
generated at kraft mills. Given these uncertainties, the Company currently
estimates that capital expenditures for environmental purposes during the period
1997 through 1999 will average approximately $15 million each year. The
estimated expenditures could be significantly higher if more stringent laws and
regulations are implemented.
 
     On December 17, 1993, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA")
published extensive proposed regulations governing air and water emissions from
the pulp and paper industry (the "Cluster Rules"). The Company anticipates that
these proposed regulations will change before becoming effective. Due to the
uncertainty of the final form of the Cluster Rules, it is impossible to predict
the exact capital expenditures necessary for compliance. Therefore, the
estimated expenditures disclosed above do not include expenditures that may be
mandated by the Cluster Rules. Based upon its interpretation of the Cluster
Rules as currently proposed, the Company estimates that compliance with these
rules may require modifications at several facilities. Some of these
modifications can be included in modernization projects that will provide
economic benefits to the Company. The extent of such benefits can increase these
investments, but currently these expenditures are not expected to exceed $200
million over the next five years, and could be less if the Company's recovery
boilers meet the new standards.
 
     RCRA establishes a regulatory program for the treatment, storage,
transportation, and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. Under RCRA,
subsidiaries of the Company have prepared hazardous waste closure plans to
address land disposal units containing hazardous wastes formerly managed at
various facilities. These closure plans are in various states of implementation,
with most sites simply awaiting state certification. The Company believes that
the costs associated with these plans will not have a material impact on the
earnings or competitive position of the Company.
 
     In addition to these capital expenditures, the Company incurs significant
ongoing maintenance costs to maintain compliance with environmental regulation.
The Company, however, does not believe that these capital expenditures or
maintenance costs will have a material adverse effect on the earnings of the
Company. In addition, expenditures for environmental compliance should not have
a material impact on the competitive position of the Company, because other
companies are also subject to these regulations.
 
COMPETITION
 
     All of the industries in which the Company operates are highly competitive.
The level of competition in a given product or market may be affected by the
strength of the dollar and other market factors including geographic location,
general economic conditions, and the operating efficiencies of competitors.
Factors influencing the Company's competitive position vary depending on the
characteristics of the products involved. The primary factors are product
quality and performance, price, service, and product innovation.
 
     The corrugated packaging industry is highly competitive with almost 1,500
box plants in the United States. Box plants operated by Inland and its
subsidiaries accounted for approximately 8.3 percent of total industry shipments
during 1996. Although corrugated packaging is dominant in the national
distribution process, Inland's products also compete with various other
packaging materials, including products made of paper, plastics, wood, and
metals.

     Bleached paperboard produced by the Paper Group has a variety of ultimate
uses and, therefore, serves diversified markets. The Company competes with
larger paper producers with greater resources.
 
     In the building materials markets, the Building Products Group competes
with many companies that are substantially larger and have greater resources in
the manufacturing of commodity building materials.
 
     Financial Services competes with commercial banks, savings and loan
associations, mortgage bankers, and other lenders in its mortgage banking and
consumer savings bank activities, and with real estate investment and management
companies in its development activities. Mortgage banking, real estate
development, and consumer savings banks are highly competitive businesses, and a
number of entities with which the Company competes have greater resources.

* Includes approximately 243,000 acres of leased land.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  General:
 
     The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings
that have arisen from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In the
opinion of the Company's management, such proceedings will not be material to
the business or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
  Environmental:
 
     The facilities of the Company are periodically inspected by environmental
authorities and must file periodic reports on the discharge of pollutants with
these authorities. Occasionally, one or more of these facilities have operated
in violation of applicable pollution control standards, which could subject the
facilities to fines or penalties in the future. Management believes that any
fines or penalties that may be imposed as a result of these violations will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's earnings or competitive
position. The Company, however, has noticed an increase in the number and dollar
amount of fines and penalties imposed by environmental authorities. No assurance
can be given, therefore, that any fines levied against the Company in the future
for any such violations will not be material.
 
     Subsidiaries of the Company are involved in regulatory enforcement actions
concerning the management of solid wastes at various facilities. These
proceedings are representative of a trend the Company has observed toward more
stringent application of RCRA regulations to solid wastes generated at kraft
mills. In July 1993, a subsidiary's facility in Rome, Georgia, experienced a
significant upset in its wastewater treatment process. This upset caused the
Georgia environmental agency to order a temporary cessation of production. The
Company's subsidiary has resolved its potential liability to the State of
Georgia by paying a $100,000 monetary penalty and agreeing to perform certain
work, but remains exposed to potential claims of the U.S. EPA and private
citizens. Management believes, however, that these matters will not result in
liability to an extent that would have a material adverse effect on the business
or financial condition of the Company.
 
     Under CERCLA, liability for the cleanup of a Superfund site may be imposed
on waste generators, site owners and operators, and others regardless of fault
or the legality of the original waste disposal activity. While joint and several
liability is authorized under CERCLA, as a practical matter, the cost of cleanup
is generally allocated among the many waste generators. Subsidiaries of the
Company are parties to numerous proceedings relating to the cleanup of hazardous
waste sites under CERCLA and similar state laws. The subsidiaries have conducted
investigations of the sites and in certain instances believe that there is no
basis for liability and have so informed the governmental entities. The internal
investigations of the remaining sites reveal that the portion of the remediation
costs for these sites to be allocated to the Company should be relatively small
and will have no material impact on the Company. There can be no assurance that
subsidiaries of the Company will not be named as potentially responsible parties
at additional Superfund sites in the future or that the costs associated with
the remediation of those sites would not be material.
 
     All litigation has an element of uncertainty and the final outcome of any
legal proceeding cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. With these
limitations in mind, the Company presently believes that any ultimate liability
from the legal proceedings discussed herein would not have a material adverse
effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.
 
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
     The Company did not submit any matter to a vote of its shareholders during

PAPER

[PHOTO]


During 1996, the company consolidated the management of its paper operations.
This consolidation allows the company to develop improved products and
services, continue to benefit from operational efficiencies, and capitalize on
and leverage the strengths of both operations.

The Paper Group is now comprised of two operations: corrugated container and
bleached paperboard. The results from these two operations had previously been
reported separately.

The following table provides information on the operating earnings for the
Paper Group.

CORRUGATED CONTAINER

The corrugated container operation manufactures linerboard and corrugating
medium at seven paper mills and converts it into shipping containers at 43 box
plants located throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico and South
America. In addition, it operates six specialty converting plants. Operation of
the Macon, Georgia, box plant was discontinued in the first quarter of 1996. In
early 1997, the company announced that operations of its box plant in Erie,
Pennsylvania, would be discontinued in 1997.

Before administrative costs, the corrugated container operation earned $164.3
million in 1996, down 58 percent from the $387.5 million earned in 1995.
Despite significantly lower product prices, revenues for this operation
declined only 8 percent in 1996 compared with 1995, because increased volume
somewhat offset lower product prices. Revenues were up 27 percent in 1995
compared with 1994, primarily because of higher product pricing.

The weak demand for boxes in late 1995 carried over into 1996, putting downward
pressure on pricing. Demand from both domestic and export markets improved in
the second half of the year resulting in higher operating rates. This improved
demand was not sufficient to allow price improvement for containerboard and
boxes. By year end, box prices had eroded 19 percent from a year earlier. As a
result of lower prices for containerboard and boxes, earnings as a percent of
revenues declined after having improved significantly in 1995.

Tons of boxes sold were up 3.5 percent in 1996 after being relatively flat in
1995. The 1996 earnings decline was moderated somewhat by the higher sales
volume and the lower cost of old corrugated containers (OCC), the principal raw
material used in approximately 43 percent of the group's containerboard
production. The cost of OCC was down $71 per ton in 1996 compared with 1995.
This decline followed a $55 per ton increase in 1995 versus 1994.

As indicated in the table below, mill production, curtailed by 120,000 tons to
control inventory levels, totaled 2,577,000 tons in 1996. This represented a
63,000 ton increase in production over 1995, which had 132,000 tons of
inventory-related downtime. Production of containerboard exceeded internal box
plant usage by 275,000 tons in 1996; 317,000 tons in 1995 and 376,000 tons in
1994. Excess production was sold in the domestic and export markets.

Box production at the Mexican, Puerto Rican and South American converting
facilities increased by 34,000 tons to 124,000 tons in 1996.

In May 1994, the company purchased the stock of Rand-Whitney Packaging
Corporation for $57.5 million. Included in the purchase were three
manufacturing plants specializing in litho-laminate corrugated packaging and
high-graphics folding cartons. In 1995, the company expanded this operation
with an additional plant in Ontario, California, and acquired CB Displays of
Rural Hall, North Carolina, a producer of point-of-sale packaging. As a result,
the company has improved its ability to service the national litho-laminate
market. Also in 1995, the company acquired a controlling interest in Wesland
Container L.L.C. in Little Rock, Arkansas, a producer of medical-waste boxes.
Operation of the Montville, Connecticut, Rand-Whitney plant was discontinued in
the first quarter of 1996.

The following table shows the quarterly sales of the corrugated container
operation in tons and dollars. The totals presented include not only boxes sold
but also open market sales of linerboard and related products. The decrease in
unit sales in 1995 compared with 1994 was primarily due to weak demand for
containerboard and boxes, which continued into mid-1996.

BLEACHED PAPERBOARD

The bleached paperboard operation manufactures bleached paperboard at one mill
in Evadale, Texas. Its products are sold to commercial printers and paperboard
converters, including those serving packaging, food service and office product
markets.

The mill completed a major modernization and expansion program during 1995. The
cornerstone of this project was a new 550 ton-per-day paperboard machine
capable of producing low-density, lightweight bleached paperboard and bleached
bristols. Other key elements of the expansion project included major
technological upgrades on three existing paperboard machines, a pine fiberline,
a coating plant, a power boiler, an extruder plant, a lime kiln and a
concentrator. One of the mill's recovery boilers was also rebuilt.

Before administrative costs, the bleached paperboard operation reported a loss
of $6.9 million in 1996 compared with income of $23.5 million in 1995.
Primarily a result of weakening demand, average prices for bleached paperboard
declined by 12 percent in 1996 after having improved by 30 percent in 1995.
Sales volume increased by 25 percent in 1996 as the company accelerated its
efforts to market the increased mill production capacity. Manufacturing costs
per ton for 1996 were relatively unchanged from 1995 levels. However, with the
efficiencies of an increased level of production and the effect of a mid-1996
cost-reduction program, manufacturing costs per ton in the second half of 1996
were 13 percent below first-half costs. Manufacturing costs per ton were up 10
percent in 1995 compared with 1994 because of disruptions related to the
various construction projects.

The year was one of generally weak demand and, accordingly, prices were under
pressure throughout much of the year. By the fourth quarter, bleached
paperboard prices had declined by 18 percent from fourth-quarter 1995 levels.
Prices stabilized late in the year.

Temple-Inland Food Service Corporation (Food Service) is an integrated paper
converter that manufactures and markets paper containers and products for the
food service industry. This operation has converting plants in Carlisle, Ohio;
Sacramento and El Cajon, California; Denver, Colorado; and Farmersville,
Louisiana. Products manufactured are sold to the fast-food industry, retail
consumer stores, restaurants and cafeterias. Food Service enhances the bleached
paperboard operation's ability to develop and market paper products for the
food service industry. Food Service converted 68,737 tons and 65,583 tons of
bleached paperboard and recorded revenues of $84.1 million and $80.9 million
for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The table below lists the quarterly sales of the bleached paperboard operation
by product in tonnage and dollars.  Changes in product mix from period to
period may make historical comparisons difficult.

Primarily because the company paid significantly lower bonuses to its managers
in 1996 as a result of the lower level of profitability, the administrative
costs related to the Paper Group were $44.4 million in 1996 compared with $54.4
million in 1995.

BUILDING
PRODUCTS

[PHOTO]

The Building Products Group manufactures a diversified line of construction and
commercial grade building materials at 13 facilities located in Texas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia. In 1996, almost 80 percent
of its revenues were generated from wood-based materials made from Southern
Pine logs or log residues. These products, sold to both residential and
commercial market segments, include lumber, plywood, fiber products and
particleboard.

The non-wood-based business unit manufactures a variety of gypsum wallboard
products that are sold to the same market segments as wood-based materials. In
the second quarter of 1996, the company acquired a 50 percent equity position
in Standard Gypsum L.L.C. located in McQueeney, Texas. Under the terms of the
joint venture agreement with its partner, the Building Products Group has the
responsibility for managing plant operations and marketing the gypsum
wallboard.

During 1996, the group, through a joint venture, began construction on a new
medium density fiberboard (MDF) plant in El Dorado, Arkansas. The $90 million
facility is designed to produce 150 million square feet of MDF annually. MDF
products are high-grade composite panels that serve as suitable alternatives to
high-quality millwork lumber and as flooring substrates.

The Building Products Group entered into a joint venture agreement during the
year for the construction of a cement fiberboard plant in Waxahachie, Texas.
Cement fiberboard is a weather-stable product with increasing acceptance for
applications such as exterior sidings, tile backing and roofing. Both the MDF
and cement fiberboard plants are anticipated to begin production during the
first quarter of 1998.

During 1996, the group continued its strategy to exit the retail business,
which sells various building materials to the contractor and retail markets.
Retail operations accounted for only 3 percent of group net revenues in 1996,
compared with about 10 percent in each of the two preceding years. In the
fourth quarter of 1995, the group began its exit from this business by selling
its two major Houston-area retail locations, which historically accounted for
about 80 percent of these revenues. Late in 1996, two of the three remaining
locations were also sold.

The group earned $102 million in 1996, the third-highest earnings level in its
history, following earnings of $67 million in 1995 and record earnings of $139
million in 1994. Net manufacturing revenues in 1996 increased $30 million, or 6
percent, over 1995. This 6 percent increase followed a 7 percent decline in
1995, compared with the record year of 1994. As a result of improved
residential and commercial construction levels, prices advanced in 1996 across
all product lines, except particleboard and plywood.

The following table provides information on unit sales volumes and net sales
for each business unit.

Pine lumber shipments of 605 million board feet increased 4 percent over 1995.
Lumber prices improved during the year and by the fourth quarter were 20
percent above the same period in 1995, which was the low for that year. In
1995, reduced building activity resulted in oversupplied markets with the
market imbalance further aggravated by Canadian lumber imports that had
captured in excess of 35 percent of U.S. markets. In 1996, as the United
States-Canadian lumber agreement took effect and the pace of housing starts
increased, supply/demand ratios improved and lumber prices recovered
accordingly.

Plywood revenues in 1996 increased 6 percent over 1995 due to increased
shipments and an improved mix of products.  Revenues in 1995 declined 13
percent from 1994 due to reduced sales volume. In 1995, the group's plywood
plant was involved in a $3.8 million modernization project to upgrade its
veneer process capability. This project negatively affected production
schedules. Further, a construction-related fire during 1995 resulted in an
outage, accounting for more than one-third of the lower shipment levels
compared with 1994. Plywood pricing in 1995 advanced almost 5 percent over 1994
levels as the plant increased its complement of higher grade panels. In 1996,
however, price levels declined 13 percent.

Fiber products revenues increased 23 percent over 1995 due to price increases
averaging almost 13 percent and an 8 percent increase in shipments. Shipments
were higher due to strong demand for fiber products coupled with a high level
of supply resulting from a 7 percent increase in production and a high
inventory position at the first of the year that was liquidated during the
year. In 1995, siding prices decreased due to a low rate of housing starts
coupled with increased competition from alternative vinyl and cement fiberboard
products. TrimCraft(TM), the company's alternative lumber trim product,
continued to gain market acceptance, and shipments of this product advanced
almost 30 percent over 1995 levels. The group further adjusted the complement
of roof and wall insulation board in its product mix as demand for siding and
TrimCraft improved.

Using by-products of lumber processing, the group manufactures particleboard at
four plants in Texas, Alabama, Arkansas and Georgia. The Arkansas plant,
completed late in the fourth quarter of 1995 at a cost of $65 million,
increased capacity by about 50 percent. With the new plant's production,
particleboard shipments in 1996 increased 21 percent over 1995, despite lost
production at the Alabama plant, which incurred a 10-week outage for a major
modernization project.  Particleboard price levels declined about 6 percent
from 1995 levels. In 1995, shipments were 5 percent below 1994, although prices
increased about 2 percent. However, prices at the end of 1995 had begun to
decline due to excessive customer inventory accumulations that affected demand
into the first quarter of 1996.

Record earnings were achieved by the group's gypsum wallboard operation in 1996
as prices continued the improvement begun in 1994 and the mix of products
manufactured continued to improve. Gypsum wallboard shipments of 838 million
square feet increased 3 percent over 1995 and revenues were up 9 percent
following a 12 percent increase in revenues for 1995 compared with 1994. Gypsum
wallboard demand basically responds to the pace of single-family and
multifamily housing activity, which advanced 7 percent over 1995 levels. In
addition to a strong market, the group's Stretch 54(R) product, pre-sized to
reduce material waste and application labor in houses with 9-foot ceilings,
continued to enhance margins within its specialty product mix. Specialty panels
in 1996 accounted for 38 percent of total shipments, an increase of 12 percent
over 1995.

The company controls approximately 2.2 million acres of timberland in Texas,
Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama. In 1996, this renewable resource provided
approximately 59 percent of the company's sawtimber requirements and roughly 55
percent of the virgin fiber necessary to operate its paper, particleboard and
fiberboard converting operations.

When Guaranty was acquired in September 1988, its primary assets were mortgage
loans, properties and notes receivable, all of which were guaranteed by
agencies of the federal government. Corresponding liabilities were largely
consumer deposits. Additional acquisitions in the next two years were primarily
cash assets offset by consumer deposit liabilities. The cash assets were
converted to mortgage-backed securities, the interest rate on which was indexed
to the cost of funds in the Federal Home Loan Bank Eleventh District Cost of
Funds Index (EDCOF), which is primarily comprised of California institutions.
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                       30                             
<PAGE>   7
The long-term target was to convert these securities to adjustable-rate
mortgage loans. By December 31, 1996, loans receivable comprised 67 percent of
earning assets, up from 57 percent in the prior year. Over the next few years,
this percentage should approach 80 percent of earning assets.         
                                                                      
Guaranty can fund its asset base with consumer deposits or short-ter  
borrowings, including repurchase agreements. Since the earnings of a large
portion of its assets are indexed to the EDCOF, the comparative cost of
Guaranty's deposit liabilities is important to profitability. In 1996, the nine
basis point improvement in comparative cost from 1995 increased income by
approximately $4 million.                                             

Although the average balance of total earning assets remained virtually
constant with 1995, the improved mix of loans receivable, rather than
securities, improved net interest income by $13.5 million in 1996. This
improved asset mix accounted for a portion of the 14 basis point increase in
the net interest spread.

In 1995, on similar asset balance, the better mix improved earnings by $30.3
million and the interest spread by 23 basis points over 1994.

Noninterest income is comprised primarily of fees collected, including service
charges on deposits. In 1995, Guaranty recognized a $9 million gain,
representing its portion of gains on certain asset dispositions (see Note C on
page 44 for additional information). Excluding the gain recognized in 1995,
noninterest income decreased by $6.5 million in 1996 and increased by $3.7
million in 1995.

Excluding $43.9 million related to a one-time Savings Association Insurance
Fund (SAIF) assessment discussed below, noninterest expense decreased by $4.6
million in 1996 and by $5.9 million in 1995.

BIF/SAIF Legislation

On September 30, 1996, President Clinton signed the Economic Growth and
Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 (the Act). Among its many
provisions, the Act provided for (i) the recapitalization of the SAIF to an
amount sufficient to increase the SAIF's net worth to 1.25 percent of
SAIF-insured deposits, (ii) the reduction of SAIF insurance assessments to
parity with those of the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), and (iii) the eventual
merger of the SAIF and BIF. Specifically, the statute required a one-time
special assessment of SAIF members, calculated at 65.7 basis points of insured
deposits, or $43.9 million for Guaranty.

Based on its current risk classification, beginning January 1, 1997, Guaranty
will not be required to pay any deposit insurance assessments but will be
required to pay approximately 6.5 basis points on its insured deposits annually
to repay certain Financial Corporation (FICO) bond obligations. Prior to the
special assessment, Guaranty was paying 23 basis points of insured deposits for
insurance premiums as compared to the approximate 6.5 basis points of deposits
currently being paid to repay FICO bond obligations. Based on the current level
of Guaranty's deposits, this legislation will reduce assessments by
approximately $11 million per year.

Acquisitions

On December 9, 1996, the company and Guaranty signed a definitive agreement to
acquire all of the outstanding stock of California Financial Holding Company
(CFHC) for $30 per share. Total assets, the majority of which are held by its
subsidiary, Stockton Savings Bank, F.S.B., are approximately $1.3 billion and
consist primarily of residential, consumer and construction loans,
mortgage-backed securities, and short-term investments. Stockton Savings
operates 23 branches.  The purchase price of approximately $150 million will
consist of company stock and cash. The transaction, subject to the approval of
regulatory authorities and CFHC shareholders, is anticipated to close in the
second quarter of 1997.

In June 1994, Guaranty purchased substantially all of the net assets of First
Federal Savings Bank of San Antonio (FFSB) for approximately $43 million. FFSB
was a savings bank with 10 banking centers in San Antonio, Texas, with assets
at acquisition totaling approximately $363 million, consisting primarily of
mortgage loans and cash.

Liquidity, Interest Rate Risk
Management and Capital

Guaranty is required by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) to maintain
minimum average daily balances of liquid assets and short-term liquid assets in
amounts equal to 5 percent and 1 percent, respectively, of net withdrawable
deposits and short-term borrowings. At December 31, 1996, Guaranty exceeded the
required liquidity ratios.

The operations of Guaranty are subject to a risk of interest rate fluctuation
to the extent that interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
mature or reprice at different times or in differing amounts. Since
approximately 74 percent of Guaranty's assets have adjustable rates, this risk
is significantly mitigated. A substantial portion of Guaranty's investments in
adjustable-rate, mortgage-backed securities have annual or lifetime caps that
could subject Guaranty to interest rate risk should rates rise above certain
levels. To optimize net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of
interest rate and liquidity risk, Guaranty from time to time will enter into
various interest rate contracts for purposes other than trading. See Note K on
page 48 for additional information.

OTS regulations require savings institutions to maintain certain minimum levels
of capital. Guaranty's regulatory capital exceeded all applicable capital
requirements at December 31, 1996. Note L on page 49 contains additional
information concerning Guaranty's capital requirements.

MORTGAGE BANKING

Mortgage banking is conducted through Temple-Inland Mortgage Corporation
(TIMC), a full-service mortgage banker. TIMC arranges financing of
single-family mortgage loans, then sells the loans into the secondary market
(primarily FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA securities). TIMC generally retains the
servicing of these loans.

Environmental Matters

The company is committed to protecting the health and welfare of its employees,
the public, and the environment, and strives to maintain compliance with all
state and federal environmental regulations in a cost-effective manner. In
recent modernization programs at some of its mills, including the bleached
paperboard mill at Evadale, Texas, the company installed state-of-the-art
technology for controlling air and water emissions. These forward-looking
programs should minimize the impact that changing regulations have on capital
expenditures for environmental compliance.

Future expenditures for environmental control facilities will depend on
changing laws and regulations and technological advances. Given these
uncertainties, the company estimates that capital expenditures for
environmental purposes during the period 1997 through 1999 will average $15
million each year.

On December 17, 1993, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published
extensive proposed regulations governing air and water emissions from the pulp
and paper industry (Cluster Rules). The company anticipates that these proposed
regulations will change before becoming effective. Due to the uncertainty of
the final form of the Cluster Rules, it is impossible to predict the exact
capital expenditures necessary for compliance. Therefore, the estimated
expenditures disclosed above do not include expenditures that may be mandated
by the Cluster Rules. Based upon its interpretation of the Cluster Rules as
currently proposed, the company estimates that compliance could require
modifications at several facilities. Some of these modifications can be
included in modernization projects that will provide economic benefits to the
company. The extent of such benefits can increase these investments, but
currently these expenditures are not expected to exceed $200 million over the
next five years and should be less, assuming the company's recovery boilers
meet the new standards.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

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.

A summary of capital expenditures is shown below.

</TABLE>

Interest expense increased in 1996 and 1995 due to the higher levels of debt
outstanding. The increase in capitalized interest in 1995 and 1994 was due to
higher levels of construction in progress associated primarily with the
modernization and expansion project at Evadale, Texas. Since this project was
completed in 1995, capitalized interest in 1996 decreased to $3.3 million.
Parent Company interest paid during 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $105.9 million,
$95.4 million and $89.2 million, respectively.

In August 1995, the board of directors approved a stock repurchase program
authorizing the company to repurchase up to 2.5 million shares. By January 31,
1997, the company had repurchased 900,100 shares under this program.

NOTE L - Regulatory Capital Matters

Guaranty is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary, actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on
Guaranty's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Guaranty must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Guaranty's assets,
liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. Guaranty's capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings and other factors. The payment of dividends from Guaranty is subject
to proper regulatory notification.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require Guaranty to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of Total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I
capital to adjusted tangible assets. As of December 31, 1996, Guaranty met all
its capital adequacy requirements.

As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the most recent notification from regulators
categorized Guaranty as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To be so categorized, Guaranty must maintain minimum
Total risk-based, Tier I (Core) risk-based and Tier I (Core) leverage capital
ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed Guaranty's category.

Guaranty's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table
below. No amounts were deducted from capital for interest rate risk at December
31, 1996 or 1995.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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.

Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from these estimates.

Included as an integral part of the consolidated financial statements are
separate summarized financial statements and notes for the company's primary
business groups, as well as the significant accounting policies unique to each
group.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are based upon the weighted average of shares outstanding,
including common stock equivalents, during the year. The weighted average
shares outstanding were (in millions): 1996--55.5; 1995--56.1; and 1994--55.9.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks,
commercial paper, agency discount notes, federal funds sold and other
short-term liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

TRANSLATION OF INTERNATIONAL CURRENCIES

Balance sheets of the company's international operations where the functional
currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at
year-end exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from financial statement
translation are reported as a component of shareholders' equity. For other
international operations where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar,
inventories, property, plant and equipment are translated at the rate of
exchange on the date the assets were acquired, while other assets and
liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates. Translation adjustments
for these operations are included in earnings and are not material.

Income and expense items are translated into U.S. dollars at average rates of
exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses resulting from foreign
currency transactions are included in earnings and are not material.  

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
the amounts used for tax purposes.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

In 1996, the company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation," which permits the company to recognize compensation cost related
to stock options, using the intrinsic value method or the fair value method.
The company elected to continue to use the intrinsic value method.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In 1996, the company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."  Impairment
losses are recognized when indicators of impairment are present and the
estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the assets
carrying amount. Assets held for disposal are measured at the lower of carrying
value or estimated fair value, less costs to sell. The effect of adopting SFAS
No. 121 was not material to the financial statements.

PENDING ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES

In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which
requires an entity, after a transfer of financial assets that meets the
criteria to be accounted for as a sale, to recognize the financial and
servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred and to
derecognize financial assets when control has been surrendered. The company
will apply the new rules prospectively beginning in the first quarter of 1997
and, based on current circumstances, does not believe the application of the
new rules will have a material impact on the financial statements.

NOTE 2 - TAXES ON INCOME

Taxes on income from continuing operations consisted of the following:

Income tax payments, net of refunds received, were $38 million, $74 million and
$58 million during 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The company has net operating loss carryforwards that expire from the year 2000
through the year 2009. Alternative minimum tax credits may be carried forward
indefinitely.

In connection with the acquisition of Guaranty in 1988, the company entered
into an assistance agreement (Assistance Agreement) with the Federal Savings
and Loan Insurance Corporation. Pursuant to the Assistance Agreement, the
company received various tax benefits to be shared with the FDIC when the cash
benefits were realized by the company. During the term of the Assistance
Agreement, the company recorded these tax-sharing liabilities on an
undiscounted basis. The company and the FDIC terminated the Assistance
Agreement. As a part of this termination, the company and the FDIC agreed to a
one-time payment that was based on the present value of the future liabilities.
The company recognized a credit to its tax provision of $31.5 million as a
result of the completion of this transaction.

The valuation allowance represents accruals for deductions that are uncertain
and, accordingly, have not been recognized for financial reporting purposes.
The increase in the valuation allowance is the result of management's
refinement of these uncertainties.

</TABLE>

Differences between fair value and carrying amounts are primarily due to
instruments that provide fixed interest rates or contain fixed interest rate
elements. Inherently, such instruments are subject to fluctuations in fair
value due to subsequent movements in interest rates. The fair value of cash and
cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, securities sold under agreements
to repurchase, and mortgage loans held for sale consistently approximate the
carrying amount due to their short-term nature and are excluded from the above
table. The fair value of mortgage-backed and investment securities and
off-balance-sheet instruments are based on quoted market prices. Other
financial instruments are valued using discounted cash flows. The discount
rates used represent current rates for similar instruments.

NOTE 4 - SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

During 1989, the board of directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan in which
one preferred stock purchase right (Right) was declared as a dividend for each
common share outstanding. Each one-half Right entitles shareholders to
purchase, under certain conditions, one-hundredth of a share of newly issued
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $200. The
Rights will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial
ownership of 20 percent or more of the common shares or commences a tender or
exchange offer, upon consummation of which such person or group would
beneficially own 25 percent or more of the common shares. The company will
generally be entitled to redeem the Rights at $.01 per Right at any time until
the 10th business day following public announcement that a 20 percent position
has been acquired. The Rights will expire on February 20, 1999.

NOTE 5 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

PENSIONS

The company has pension plans covering substantially all employees. Plans
covering salaried and nonunion hourly employees provide benefits based on
compensation and years of service, while union hourly plans are based on
negotiated benefits and years of service. The company's policy is to fund
amounts on an actuarial basis to accumulate assets sufficient to meet the
benefits to be paid in accordance with the requirements of ERISA. Contributions
to the plans are made to trusts for the benefit of plan participants.

Net pension cost includes the following:

The health care trend rate of 10 percent in 1996 is expected to decline to 6
percent by 2010 and remain constant thereafter. If such rate increased by 1
percent, the accumulated postretirement obligation would increase by 7.5
percent and the 1996 net postretirement cost would increase by 10.2 percent.

NOTE 6 - STOCK OPTION PLANS

The company has established stock option plans for key employees and directors.
The plans provide for the granting of nonqualified stock options and/or
incentive stock options, and prior to 1994, the plans permitted the grant of
stock appreciation rights with all or part of any options so granted. Options
granted after 1995 have primarily a 10-year term and become exercisable in
steps from one to five years.

A summary of stock option activity follows:

Options exercisable at year end were (in thousands): 1996--769; 1995--718; and
1994--643. The weighted average price for options exercisable at December 28,
1996, was $44 per share. Exercise prices for options outstanding at December
28, 1996, range from $12 to $54. The weighted average remaining contractual
life of these options is seven years. An additional 1,065,422 shares of common
stock were available for grants at December 28, 1996. A restricted stock plan
also provides for a maximum of 300,000 shares of restricted common stock to be
reserved for awards. At year end 1996, awards of 158,661 shares of common stock
were outstanding at an average price of $47.34 per share.

Pro forma net income and earnings per share, assuming that the company had
accounted for its employee stock options using the fair value method and
amortized such to expense over the options' vesting period, would not be
materially different from those reported.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT

MANAGEMENT REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management has prepared and is responsible for the company's financial
statements, including the notes thereto. They have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include amounts
based on judgments and estimates by management. All financial information in
this annual report is consistent with that in the financial statements.

The company maintains internal accounting control systems and related policies
and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are
safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's
authorization and properly recorded, and that accounting records may be relied
upon for the preparation of financial statements and other financial
information. The design, monitoring and revision of internal accounting control
systems involve, among other things, management's judgment with respect to the
relative cost and expected benefits of specific control measures. The company
also maintains an internal auditing function which evaluates and formally
reports on the adequacy and effectiveness of internal accounting controls,
policies and procedures.

The company's financial statements have been examined by Ernst & Young LLP,
independent auditors, who have expressed their opinion with respect to the
fairness of the presentation of the statements.

The audit committee of the board of directors, composed solely of outside
directors, meets with the independent auditors and internal auditors to
evaluate the effectiveness of the work performed by them in discharging their
respective responsibilities and to assure their independent and free access to
the committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF TEMPLE-INLAND INC.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Temple-Inland
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 28, 1996, and December 30, 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 mis-statement. 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 consolidated financial position of Temple-Inland
Inc. and subsidiaries at December 28, 1996, and December 30, 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 28, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
