1.   ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Rayonier Timberlands, L.P. (RTLP), a Delaware limited partnership, began

</TABLE>

IN ACCORDANCE WITH RTLP'S PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT, THE PRIMARY ACCOUNT WILL BE
CLOSED AT THE END OF THE INITIAL TERM ON DECEMBER 31, 2000. SUBSEQUENT TO THAT
DATE, THE CLASS A UNITHOLDERS WILL PARTICIPATE IN 4 PERCENT OF THE REVENUES AND
EXPENSES OF RTLP AND 4 PERCENT OF ITS CASH FLOW AFTER ALL SECONDARY ACCOUNT DEBT
HAS BEEN REPAID.

INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

The excess of operating cash flow generated by the Primary Account over amounts
distributed to unitholders is invested with Rayonier in accordance with the
Partnership Agreement and are repayable on demand. Interest is due quarterly and
the stated interest rates are at least equivalent to the rate Rayonier would be
charged by an outside party for equivalent borrowings.

The Partnership has expenditures that relate primarily to timber that will be
harvested after the Initial Term, such as costs of site preparation, planting,
reforestation, pre-commercial thinning, and similar activities, all of which are
allocated to the Secondary Account of the Partnership. Rayonier funds these
expenditures on behalf of the Partnership and, in accordance with the
Partnership Agreement, RTLP incurs obligations to Rayonier that mature on
January 1, 2001.

Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, cash credited to the Primary
Account may not be loaned or otherwise used for the benefit of the Secondary
Account. Accordingly, the Partnership is not permitted to use proceeds from the
Primary Account Investment Notes of Rayonier to repay the Secondary Account
Long-Term Notes Payable to Rayonier.

3.   OPERATING CASH FLOW ALLOCABLE TO CLASS A UNITS

Operating cash flow allocable to a Class A Unit is calculated by multiplying 99
percent (Limited Partners' interest in RTLP) of operating cash flow allocated to
the Primary and Secondary Accounts by the respective 95 percent and 4 percent
Class A Unit interest in those accounts. In determining operating cash flow,
Partnership results are adjusted for non-cash costs and expenses without the
effects of changes in working capital. The following tables present the
calculations of operating cash flow allocable to Class A Units for the quarters
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994:

Sales for the first quarter of 1995 were $48.6 million which was $5.7 million,
or 10 percent, lower than last year's first quarter. Timber sales were $46.1
million, down $7.7 million, or 14 percent, from the comparable 1994 period.
Timberland sales were $2.5 million, up $2.0 million from 1994.

Partnership income was $36.8 million or $1.84 per Class A Unit which was $6.4
million, or 35 cents per Class A Unit, lower than 1994 results. Operating cash
flow allocable to each Class A Unit was $1.92, down 31 cents per Class A Unit.

Most of the timber from Partnership lands in the Northwest is resold by the
Partnership's customers into log export markets, primarily in Japan, Korea, and
China. In the Northwest region, 1995 first quarter volume and prices were
significantly lower than the prior year. Unfavorable market conditions in late
1993 caused many customers to defer harvesting high-priced contracts until early
1994, resulting in unusually high harvest levels and prices in the first quarter
of 1994. For the three months ended March 31, 1995, the stumpage harvest volume
was 31 percent lower than the prior year. In addition, 1995 first quarter
stumpage prices were 15 percent lower than the prior year. As a result, sales
declined $16.6 million, or 39 percent, to $25.7 million and operating income
declined $15.3 million, or 42 percent, to $21.2 million.

In the Southeast, pulpwood timber is sold by the Partnership customers for the
production of pulp and paper with sawlog timber sold to lumber and plywood
manufacturers. In this region, first quarter sales increased $10.9 million, or
91 percent, to $22.9 million and 


                                       8
<PAGE>   11

operating income increased $9.4 million, or 105 percent, to $18.3 million,
reflecting higher pine harvest volume and stronger prices. Pine harvest volume
increased approximately 36 percent and prices were up 26 percent over the 1994
period due to higher demand from the pulp and paper industry and unusually wet
weather in the Southeast which caused customers to harvest on Partnership lands
rather than the comparatively wetter competitive sources.

Interest income, earned mainly from the Primary Account's investment notes of
Rayonier, decreased $0.1 million to $1.2 million in 1995 due to lower balances
of investment notes of Rayonier, partially offset by higher interest rates in
1995. Interest expense, on increased loans and advances to the Secondary Account
by Rayonier, rose $0.5 million to $3.1 million.

FUTURE OPERATIONS

The 1995 first quarter harvest level in the Northwest and in the Southeast
represented approximately 25 percent and 32 percent, respectively, of the
current projection of their 1995 harvests. In the first quarter of 1994, the
harvest levels in the Northwest and in the Southeast were 34 percent and 22
percent, respectively, of the actual full year harvests.

Contract terms allow customers to harvest their commitments over various time
periods, and therefore, volume currently under contract may not be fully cut
within this fiscal year. As of March 31, 1995, volume representing approximately
85 percent of the projected 1995 harvest of stumpage and pine was cut or
committed under contract. As of March 31, 1994, 85 percent of the final 1994
harvest was cut or committed.

At March 31, 1995, Rayonier held contracts representing approximately 2 percent
and 8 percent of the uncut volume under contract in the Northwest and Southeast
regions, respectively. In addition, three customers under common ownership held
contracts representing approximately 29 percent of the uncut volume under
contract in the Northwest. Three additional unrelated customers held contracts
representing approximately 24 percent, 12 percent, and 10 percent, respectively,
of the uncut Northwest volume under contract. These six customers are not
affiliated with the Partnership.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW

As of March 31, 1995, the Partnership was due trade and intercompany receivables
from Rayonier and affiliates of $4.1 million. In addition, the Primary Account
of the Partnership held $47.7 million of short-term investment notes of Rayonier
and an additional $5.0 million of long-term investment notes of Rayonier
resulting from the cumulative net cash flow, since inception, of the Primary
Account after distributions to unitholders. The Partnership can call the
investment notes at any time to fund Partnership working capital requirements,
capital expenditures, and reserves.

The Secondary Account of the Partnership had total outstanding debt of $149.1
million at March 31, 1995 including long-term notes payable to Rayonier of
$148.5 million that mainly represent the obligations incurred as a result of
Secondary Account advances by Rayonier. Capital expenditures for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 were $3.6 million and $3.9 million,
respectively. Funding of future capital requirements is expected to continue
from Rayonier.

On March 31, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership made quarterly distributions of
$38.0 million ($1.90 per Unit) and $26.0 million ($1.30 per Unit), respectively,
to all outstanding Class A unitholders. On March 31, 1994, the Partnership also
made a special distribution of $80.0 million ($4.00 per Unit). Quarterly
distributions of $2.0 million and $1.4 million were also made to Class B
unitholders and to the General Partners in the first quarter of 1995 and 1994,
respectively. In connection with the special distribution in 1994, $4.2 million
was distributed to Class B unitholders and to the General Partners.

As the Initial Term approaches its expiration date (December 31, 2000) the Board
of Directors of Rayonier Forest Resources Company (RFR) has determined that cash
needs for reserves, acquisitions and working capital will be minimal and that
any excess cash will be distributed. Future distributions will approximate
actual Partnership results each year by keeping the distribution relatively
constant in the second, third, and fourth quarters and by making an adjustment
in the first quarter of the following year to bring the cumulative distribution
in line with Partnership results. The 1995 first quarter distribution of $1.90
included such an adjustment. It is expected that the second quarter distribution
will be less than the first. The Board indicated that it would continue to
maintain a minimum of cash in working capital to be distributed following the
end of the Initial Term.

WHEN THE INITIAL TERM ENDS ON DECEMBER 31, 2000, THE PRIMARY ACCOUNT OF THE
PARTNERSHIP WILL BE CLOSED BUT THERE WILL NOT BE ANY REDEMPTION OF THE PARTNERS'
CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. THE INTEREST OF CLASS A UNITHOLDERS IN THE PARTNERSHIP'S
FUTURE REVENUES, EXPENSES, AND CASH FLOWS WILL THEN DECREASE FROM 95 PERCENT TO
4 PERCENT. POSITIVE CASH FLOWS WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY AFFECTED BY SECONDARY
ACCOUNT DEBT THAT WILL HAVE TO BE REPAID. AS A RESULT, IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE
MARKET PRICE OF CLASS A UNITS SHOULD BEGIN TO DECLINE SUBSTANTIALLY SOMETIME
PRIOR TO DECEMBER 31, 2000.
