REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To MAXXAM Group Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MAXXAM
Group Inc. (a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of MAXXAM Group
Holdings Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's deficit and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MAXXAM Group
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.

MAXXAM GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MAXXAM Group
Inc. ("MGI") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to herein
as the "Company." MGI is a wholly owned subsidiary of MAXXAM Group Holdings Inc.
("MGHI") which is a wholly owned subsidiary of MAXXAM Inc. ("MAXXAM").
Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company is engaged in forest products operations conducted through its
wholly owned subsidiaries, The Pacific Lumber Company ("PACIFIC LUMBER") and
Britt Lumber Co., Inc. ("BRITT"). Pacific Lumber's principal wholly owned
subsidiaries are Scotia Pacific Company LLC ("SCOTIA LLC") and Salmon Creek LLC;
("SALMON CREEK"). Salmon Creek's wholly owned subsidiary is Lakepointe Assets
Holdings LLC ("LAKEPOINTE ASSETS"). The Company's core business is in several
principal aspects of the lumber industry - the growing and harvesting of redwood
and Douglas-fir timber, the milling of logs into lumber and the manufacture of
lumber into a variety of finished products. Housing, construction and remodeling
are the principal markets for the Company's lumber products. In addition, the
Company is engaged in commercial real estate ownership and leasing through
Lakepointe Assets.

Liquidity and Cash Resources
Pacific Lumber's 2001 cash flows from operations were adversely affected
by operating inefficiencies, lower lumber prices, an inadequate supply of logs
and a related slowdown in lumber production. During 2001, comprehensive external
and internal reviews were conducted of Pacific Lumber's business operations.
These reviews were an effort to identify ways in which Pacific Lumber could
operate on a more efficient and cost effective basis. Based upon the results of
these reviews, Pacific Lumber, among other things, indefinitely idled two of its
four sawmills, eliminated certain of its operations, including its soil
amendment and concrete block activities, began utilizing more efficient
harvesting methods and adopted certain other cost saving measures. Most of these
changes were implemented by Pacific Lumber in the last quarter of 2001, or the
first quarter of 2002. Pacific Lumber also ended its internal logging operations
as of April 1, 2002, and intends to rely exclusively on third party contract
loggers to conduct these activities in the future. The adverse impact on
liquidity of its poor operating results was offset by $79.9 million in
distributions made by Scotia LLC to Pacific Lumber (principally from the sale of
the Owl Creek grove), $9.3 million in repayments on an intercompany loan by MGI,
and $18.5 million of proceeds received from the sale of a portion of the Grizzly
Creek grove. The $29.4 million release from the SAR Account discussed in Note 4
will also improve Pacific Lumber's liquidity. However, Pacific Lumber may
require funds available under the Pacific Lumber Credit Agreement, additional
repayments by MGI of an intercompany loan and/or capital contributions from MGI
to enable it to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements
for the next year.

With respect to long-term liquidity, although the Company and its
subsidiaries expect that their existing cash and cash equivalents, lines of
credit and ability to generate cash flows from operations should provide
sufficient funds to meet their debt service and working capital requirements,
until such time as Pacific Lumber has adequate cash flows from operations and/or
dividends from Scotia LLC, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions
that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date
the financial statements are published and (iii) the reported amount of revenues
and expenses recognized during each period presented. The Company reviews all
significant estimates affecting its consolidated financial statements on a
recurring basis and records the effect of any necessary adjustments prior to
filing the consolidated financial statements with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Adjustments made using estimates often relate to improved
information not previously available. Uncertainties regarding such estimates and
assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's consolidated
financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from estimates,
and it is possible that the subsequent resolution of any one of the contingent
matters described in Note 10 could differ materially from current estimates. The
results of an adverse resolution of such uncertainties could have a material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
or liquidity.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets; Other Long-term Assets
Direct costs associated with the preparation of timber harvesting plans
("THPS") are capitalized and reflected in prepaid expenses and other current
assets on the balance sheet. These costs are expensed as the timber covered by
the related THP is harvested. Costs associated with the preparation of a
sustained yield plan ("SYP") and a multi-species habitat conservation plan
("HCP") are capitalized and reflected in other long-term assets. These costs are
being amortized over 10 years.

Timber and Timberlands
Timber and timberlands are stated at cost, net of accumulated depletion.
Depletion is computed utilizing the unit-of-production method based upon
estimates of timber quantities. Periodically, the Company will reassess its
depletion rates considering currently estimated merchantable timber and will
adjust depletion rates prospectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash equivalents and restricted marketable securities are invested
primarily in investment grade debt instruments as well as other types of
corporate and government debt obligations. The Company mitigates its
concentration of credit risk with respect to these investments by generally
purchasing high grade investments (ratings of A1/P1 short-term or at least AA/aa
long-term debt). No more than 10% is invested in the same issue. Unrestricted
marketable securities are invested in debt securities, corporate common stocks
and option contracts. These investments are held in a limited partnership
interest managed by a financial institution.

The Company had three customers which accounted for 15%, 3% and 3%,
respectively, of total net lumber sales for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Trade receivables from these customers totaled $1.3 million as of December 31,
2001.

Revenue Recognition
Revenues from the sale of logs, lumber products and by-products are
recorded when the legal ownership and the risk of loss passes to the buyer,
which is generally at the time of shipment. Rental revenue on operating leases
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred to obtain debt financing are deferred and amortized over
the estimated term of the related borrowing. The amortization of deferred
financing costs expense is included in interest expense on the income statement.

New Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS NO. 143") which
addresses accounting and reporting standards for obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the related asset retirement costs.
The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 143 beginning on January 1, 2003. In
general, SFAS No. 143 requires the recognition of a liability resulting from
anticipated asset retirement obligations, offset by an increase in the value of
the associated productive asset for such anticipated costs. Over the life of the
asset, depreciation expense is to include the ratable expensing of the
retirement cost included with the asset value. The statement applies to all
legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset
that results from the acquisition, construction, or development and (or) the
normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain lease obligations.
Excluded from this statement are obligations arising solely from a plan to
dispose of a long-lived asset and obligations that result from the improper
operation of an asset (e.g. environmental obligations). The Company is
continuing its evaluation of SFAS No. 143. However, the Company does not
currently expect the adoption of SFAS No. 143 to have a material impact on its
future financial statements.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS NO.
144"), which sets forth new guidance for accounting and reporting for impairment
or disposal of long-lived assets. The provisions of SFAS 144 are effective for
the Company beginning on January 1, 2002. Based on presently available
estimates, the new impairment and disposal rules are not expected to result in
the recognition of material impairment losses in 2002 beyond those reported as
of December 31, 2001 (See Note 2). In addition to the new guidance on
impairments, SFAS No. 144 broadens the applicability of the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30 for the presentation of discontinued
operations in the income statement to include a component of an entity (rather
than a segment of a business). A component of an entity comprises operations and
cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial
reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity. A component of an entity that
is classified as held for sale or that has been disposed of is presented as a
discontinued operation if the operations and cash flows of the component will be
(or have been) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity and the
entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of
the component. Although this provision will not affect the total amount reported
for net income, it is expected to result in certain operations which were
disposed of in prior years being reported separately from results from
continuing operations.

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND SPECIAL CHARGES

As a result of the acquisition of certain real estate in June 2001 which
is described in Note 3 below, the Company's financial results are reported in
two business segments: forest products and real estate. The column corporate and
other includes the results of the parent company and also serves to reconcile
the total of the reportable segments' amounts to the total in the Company's
consolidated financial statements. The following table presents such financial
information, consistent with the manner in which management reviews and
evaluates the Company's business activities (in millions).

Special Charges
The strategic reviews of the Company's operations discussed in Note 1
resulted in impairment charges, restructuring charges and accruals for
environmental remediation costs.

In connection with the idling of two of the Company's sawmills, the
Company recorded a charge to operating costs of $0.8 million to write-down the
carrying amount of the mills to estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2001,
the Company has not committed to a plan to dispose of the buildings. In
addition, the Company identified machinery and equipment with a carrying amount
of $2.0 million that it no longer needed for its current or future operations
and committed to a plan in 2001 to dispose of it during 2002. The appraised fair
value of the machinery and equipment, net of related costs to sell, is $0.6
million. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge to operating
costs of $1.4 million in 2001 for assets to be disposed of.

A $2.6 million restructuring charge was recorded in 2001 reflecting cash
termination benefits associated with the separation of approximately 305
employees as part of an involuntary termination plan. As of December 31, 2001,
168 of the affected employees had left the Company. The remainder are expected
to leave by the second quarter of 2002. Cash termination benefits of $0.6
million were paid in the fourth quarter of 2001, and are included in operating
costs. The remaining balance of $2.0 million is expected to be paid by the
second quarter of 2002.

In addition, the Company recorded an environmental remediation charge of
$3.4 million in 2001. The environmental accrual represents the Company's
estimate of costs reasonably expected to be incurred based on presently enacted
laws and regulations, currently available facts, existing technology, and the
Company's assessment of the likely remediation actions to be taken. The Company
expects that $0.7 million of this remediation liability will be incurred during
2002. Based on management's best estimates given the current facts and
circumstances, the remaining $2.7 million is expected to be incurred from 2003
through 2005.

Other unusual items include pre-tax gains on the sale of a portion of the
Grizzly creek grove of $16.7 million in November 2001, $60.0 million on the sale
of the Owl Creek grove in December 2000, and $239.8 million on the sale of the
Headwaters Timberlands in March 1999. See Note 3.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

LakePointe Plaza
In June 2001, Lakepointe Assets purchased Lake Pointe Plaza, an office
complex located in Sugar Land, Texas, for a purchase price of $131.3 million.
The transaction was financed with proceeds of $117.3 million, net of $5.2
million in deferred financing costs, from the "LAKEPOINTE NOTES" ($122.5 million
principal amount with a final maturity date of June 8, 2021, and an interest
rate of 7.56%), and with a cash payment of $14.0 million. Lakepointe Assets
acquired the property subject to two leases to existing tenants while
simultaneously leasing a majority of the premises, representing all of the
remaining space, to an affiliate of the seller. The office complex is fully
leased for a period of 20 years under these three leases. Lakepointe Assets is
accounting for these leases as operating leases. The Lakepointe Notes are
secured by the leases, Lake Pointe Plaza and a $60.0 million residual value
insurance contract.

Headwaters Transactions
In March 1999, the United States and California acquired approximately
5,600 acres of timberlands containing a significant amount of virgin old growth
timber, from Salmon Creek and Pacific Lumber (the "HEADWATERS TIMBERLANDS").
Salmon Creek received $299.9 million for its 4,900 acres, and for its 700 acres
Pacific Lumber received the 7,700 acre Elk River Timberlands, which Pacific
Lumber contributed to Scotia LLC in June 1999. See Note 10 below for a
discussion of additional arrangements entered into at that time.

As a result of the disposition of the Headwaters Timberlands, the Company
recognized a pre-tax gain of $239.8 million ($142.1 million net of deferred
taxes) in 1999. This amount represents the gain attributable to the portion of
the Headwaters Timberlands for which the Company received $299.9 million in
cash. With respect to the remaining portion of the Headwaters Timberlands for
which the Company received the Elk River Timberlands, no gain has been
recognized as this represented an exchange of substantially similar productive
assets. These timberlands have been reflected in the Company's financial
statements at an amount which represents the Company's historical cost for the
timberlands which were transferred to the United States.

Scotia LLC and Pacific Lumber also entered into agreements with California
for the sale of two timber properties known as the Owl Creek grove and the
Grizzly Creek grove. On December 29, 2000, Scotia LLC sold the Owl Creek grove
to California for $67.0 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $60.0 million.
On November 15, 2001, Pacific Lumber sold a portion of the Grizzly Creek grove
to California for $19.8 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $16.7 million.

4. CASH, MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money market instruments with
original maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000,
the carrying amounts approximated fair value.

Marketable securities consist primarily of investments in debt securities.
The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt
securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each
balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as "held-to-maturity" when
the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to
maturity. Debt securities which the Company does not have the intent or ability
to hold to maturity are classified as "available-for- sale." "Held-to-maturity"
securities are stated at amortized cost. Debt securities classified as
"held-to-maturity" as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, totaled $11.9 million and
$18.9 million, respectively, and had a fair market value of $11.9 million and
$18.9 million, respectively. "Available-for-sale" securities are carried at fair
market value, with the unrealized gains and losses included in other
comprehensive income and reported in stockholder's deficit. The fair value of
substantially all securities is determined by quoted market prices. Marketable
securities which are considered "trading" securities consist of long and short
positions in corporate common stocks and option contracts and are carried at
fair value. The cost of the securities sold is determined using the first-in,
first-out method. Included in investment, interest and other income (expense),
net for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 were: 2001
- no net realized gains or losses and net unrealized gains of $1.3 million; 2000
- net realized gains of $9.4 million and no net unrealized gains or losses; 1999
- net realized gains of $12.7 million and net unrealized losses of $0.9 million.

Cash, marketable securities and other investments include the following

Amounts in the Scheduled Amortization Reserve Account (the "SAR ACCOUNT")
are being held by the trustee under the indenture (the "TIMBER NOTES INDENTURE")
to support principal payments on Scotia LLC's Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3
Timber Collateralized Notes due 2028 (the "TIMBER NOTES"). See Note 7 for
further discussion on the SAR Account. The current portion of the SAR Account is
determined based on the liquidity needs of Scotia LLC which corresponds directly
with the current portion of Scheduled Amortization.

On March 5, 2002, Scotia LLC notified the trustee for the Timber Notes
that it had met all of the requirements of the SAR Reduction Date, as
defined in the Indenture. Accordingly, on March 20, 2002, Scotia LLC released
$29.4 million from the SAR Account and distributed this amount to Pacific
Lumber.

Cash, marketable securities and other investments include a limited
partnership interest in a partnership investing in equity securities (the
"EQUITY FUND PARTNERSHIP"), which invests in a diversified portfolio of common
stocks and other equity securities whose issuers are involved in merger, tender
offer, spin-off or recapitalization transactions. This investment is not
consolidated, but is accounted for under the equity method. The following table
shows the Company's investment in the Equity Fund Partnership, including
restricted amounts held in the SAR Account, and the ownership interest (dollars

investment in a limited partnership which invests in debt and equity securities
associated with developed and emerging markets.

5. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is primarily
determined using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method not in excess of market
value. Replacement cost is not in excess of LIFO cost. Inventory costs consist
of material, labor and manufacturing overhead, including depreciation and
depletion.

Inventories consist of the following (in millions):

--------- ---------
Lumber........................................................................................ $ 26.1 $ 30.7
Logs.......................................................................................... 23.5 22.6
--------- ---------
$ 49.6 $ 53.3
========= =========

Inventories at December 31, 2001 have been reduced by a $1.6 charge (in
cost of goods sold) due to a decline in current market prices below the cost of
such inventory.

6. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment, including capitalized interest, is stated
at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally
utilizing the straight-line method at rates based upon the estimated useful
lives of the various classes of assets. The carrying value of property, plant
and equipment is assessed when events and circumstances indicate that an
impairment might exist. The existence of an impairment is determined by
comparing the net carrying value of the asset to its estimated undiscounted
future cash flows. If an impairment is present, the asset is reported at the
lower of carrying value or fair value. As discussed in Note 1, the Company
recorded $2.2 million for asset impairments in 2001. The major classes of
property, plant and equipment are as follows (dollar amounts in millions):

ESTIMATED DECEMBER 31,

Scotia LLC Timber Notes
Scotia LLC issued $867.2 million aggregate principal amount of Timber
Notes on July 20, 1998. The Timber Notes and the Scotia LLC Line of Credit
(defined below) are secured by a lien on (i) Scotia LLC's timber, timberlands
and timber rights and (ii) substantially all of Scotia LLC's other property. The
Timber Notes Indenture permits Scotia LLC to have outstanding up to $75.0
million of non-recourse indebtedness to acquire additional timberlands and to
issue additional timber notes provided certain conditions are met (including
repayment or redemption of the remaining $120.3 million of Class A-1 Timber
Notes).

The Timber Notes were structured to link, to the extent of cash available,
the deemed depletion of Scotia LLC's timber (through the harvest and sale of
logs) to the required amortization of the Timber Notes. The required amount of
amortization on any Timber Notes payment date is determined by various
mathematical formulas set forth in the Timber Notes Indenture. The minimum
amount of principal which Scotia LLC must pay (on a cumulative basis and subject
to available cash) through any Timber Notes payment date is referred to as
Minimum Principal Amortization. If the Timber Notes were amortized in accordance
with Minimum Principal Amortization, the final installment of principal would be
paid on July 20, 2028. The minimum amount of principal which Scotia LLC must pay
(on a cumulative basis) through any Timber Notes payment date in order to avoid
payment of prepayment or deficiency premiums is referred to as Scheduled
Amortization. If all payments of principal are made in accordance with Scheduled
Amortization, the payment date on which Scotia LLC will pay the final
installment of principal is January 20, 2014. Such final installment would
include a single bullet principal payment of $463.3 million related to the Class
A-3 Timber Notes.

Pursuant to certain liquidity requirements under the Timber Notes
Indenture, Scotia LLC has entered into an agreement (the "SCOTIA LLC LINE OF
CREDIT") with a group of banks pursuant to which Scotia LLC may borrow to pay
interest on the Timber Notes. The maximum amount Scotia LLC may borrow is equal
to one year's interest on the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the
Timber Notes (the "REQUIRED LIQUIDITY AMOUNT"). At December 31, 2001, the
Required Liquidity Amount was $60.9 million. On June 1, 2001, the Scotia LLC
Line of Credit was extended an additional year to July 12, 2002. Annually,
Scotia LLC will request that the banks extend the Scotia LLC Line of Credit for
a period of not less than 364 days. If not extended, Scotia LLC may draw upon
the full amount available. The amount drawn would be repayable in 12 semiannual
installments on each note payment date (after the payment of certain other
items, including the Aggregate Minimum Principal Amortization Amount, as
defined, then due), commencing approximately two and one-half years following
the date of the draw. Borrowings under the Scotia LLC Line of Credit generally
bear interest at the Base Rate (as defined in the agreement) plus 0.25% or at a
one month or six month LIBOR rate plus 1.0% at any time the borrowings have not
been continually outstanding for more than six months. As of December 31, 2001,
Scotia LLC had no borrowings outstanding under the Scotia LLC Line of Credit.

In connection with the sale of the Headwaters Timberlands, Salmon Creek
received proceeds of $299.9 million in cash. See Note 2. In November 1999,
$169.0 million of funds from the sale of the Headwaters Timberlands were
contributed to Scotia LLC and set aside in the SAR Account. Amounts in the SAR
Account are part of the collateral securing the Timber Notes and will be used to
make principal payments to the extent that other available amounts are
insufficient to pay Scheduled Amortization on the Class A-1 and Class A-2 Timber
Notes. In addition, during the six years beginning January 20, 2014, amounts in
the SAR Account will be used to amortize the Class A-3 Timber Notes as set forth
in the Timber Notes Indenture, as amended. Funds may from time to time be
released to Scotia LLC from the SAR Account if the amount in the account exceeds
the then Required Scheduled Amortization Reserve Balance (as defined in the
Timber Notes Indenture). If the balance in the SAR Account falls below the
Required Scheduled Amortization Reserve Balance, up to 50% of any Remaining
Funds (funds that could otherwise be released to Scotia LLC free of the lien
securing the Timber Notes) is required to be used on each monthly deposit date
to replenish the SAR Account. The amount attributable to Timber Notes held in
the SAR Account of $53.0 million reflected in Note 3 represents $57.7 million
principal amount of reacquired Timber Notes.

Principal and interest on the Timber Notes are payable semi-annually on
January 20 and July 20. During the year ended December 31, 2001, Scotia LLC used
$67.3 million set aside in the note payment account to pay the $57.4 million of
interest due as well as $9.9 million of principal. Scotia LLC repaid an
additional $4.3 million of principal on the Timber Notes using funds held in the
SAR Account, resulting in total principal payments of $14.2 million, an amount
equal to Scheduled Amortization. In addition, Scotia LLC made distributions in
the amount of $79.9 million to its parent, Pacific Lumber, $63.9 million of
which was made using funds from the December 2000 sale of the Owl Creek grove
and $14.5 million of which was made using excess funds released from the SAR
Account.

On the note payment date for the Timber Notes in January 2002, Scotia LLC
had $33.9 million set aside in the note payment account to pay the $28.4 million
of interest due as well as $5.5 million of principal. Scotia LLC repaid an
additional $6.1 million of principal using funds held in the SAR Account
resulting in a total principal payment of $11.6 million, an amount equal to
Scheduled Amortization.

With respect to the note payment due in July 2002, Scotia LLC expects that
it will require funds from the Scotia LLC Line of Credit to pay a portion of the
interest due, and that all of the funds used to pay the Scheduled Amortization
amount will be provided from the SAR Account.

Pacific Lumber Credit Agreement
On August 14, 2001, the "PACIFIC LUMBER CREDIT AGREEMENT", was renewed.
The new facility provides for up to a $50.0 million two-year revolving line of
credit as compared to a $60.0 million line of credit under the expired facility.
On each anniversary date (subject to the consent of the lender), the Pacific
Lumber Credit Agreement may be extended by one year. Borrowings are secured by
all of Pacific Lumber's domestic accounts receivable and inventory. As of
December 31, 2001, borrowings of $17.7 million and letters of credit of $11.5
million were outstanding. Unused availability was limited to $12.2 million at
December 31, 2001.

Lakepointe Notes
In June 2001, Lakepointe Assets financed the purchase of Lake Pointe Plaza
with proceeds from the Lakepointe Notes (see Note 3). The Lakepointe Notes
consist of $122.5 principal amount of 7.56% notes due June 8, 2021. The
Lakepointe Notes are secured by the Lake Pointe Plaza operating leases, Lake
Pointe Plaza and a $60.0 million residual value insurance contract.

Maturities
Scheduled maturities of long-term and short-term debt outstanding at
December 31, 2001 are as follows: $35.5 million in 2002, $19.2 million in 2003,
$20.8 million in 2004, $22.8 million in 2005, $26.8 million in 2006 and $784.9
million thereafter.

At December 31, 2001, the estimated fair value of the Company's current
and long-term debt was $882.4 million. At December 31, 2000, the estimated fair
value of debt, including current maturities, was $707.1 million. The estimated
fair value of debt is determined based on the quoted market prices for the
publicly traded issues and on the current rates offered for borrowings similar
to the other debt. Some of the Company's publicly traded debt issues are thinly
traded financial instruments; accordingly, their market prices at any balance
sheet date may not be representative of the prices which would be derived from a
more active market.

Restricted Net Assets of Subsidiaries
As of December 31, 2001, all of the assets of the Company are subject to
certain debt instruments which restrict the ability to transfer assets, make
loans and advances and pay dividends to MGHI.

8. BENEFIT (PROVISION) IN LIEU OF INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are determined using an asset and liability approach which
requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the
Company's financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates.

The Company and its corporate subsidiaries are members of MAXXAM's
consolidated return group for federal income tax purposes.

Pursuant to a tax allocation agreement between MAXXAM, Pacific Lumber, and
Salmon Creek (the "PL TAX ALLOCATION AGREEMENT"), as amended effective March 1,
1999, Pacific Lumber is liable to MAXXAM for the federal consolidated income tax
liability of Pacific Lumber, Scotia LLC and other subsidiaries of Pacific Lumber
(collectively, the "PL SUBGROUP") computed as if the PL Subgroup was a separate
affiliated group of corporations which was never connected with MAXXAM. The
remaining subsidiaries of MGI are each liable to MAXXAM for their respective
income tax liabilities computed on a separate company basis as if they were
never connected with MAXXAM, pursuant to their respective tax allocation
agreements.

MGI's tax allocation agreement with MAXXAM (the "MGI TAX ALLOCATION
AGREEMENT") as amended effective March 1, 1999, provides that the Company's
federal income tax liability is computed as if the Company files a consolidated
tax return with all of its subsidiaries, and that such corporations were never
connected with MAXXAM (the "MGI CONSOLIDATED TAX LIABILITY"). The federal income
tax liability of the Company is the difference between (i) the MGI Consolidated
Tax Liability and (ii) the sum of the separate tax liabilities for the Company's
subsidiaries (computed as discussed above). To the extent that the MGI
Consolidated Tax Liability is less than the aggregate amounts in (ii), MAXXAM is
obligated to pay the amount of such difference to the Company.

The benefit (provision) in lieu of income taxes on income (loss) before
income taxes consists of the following (in millions):

========= ========= =========

Changes in valuation allowances and the revision of prior years' tax
estimates, as shown in the table above, includes changes in valuation allowances
with respect to deferred income tax assets, amounts for the reversal of reserves
which the Company no longer believes are necessary, and other changes in prior
years' tax estimates. Generally, the reversal of reserves relates to the
expiration of the relevant statute of limitations with respect to certain income
tax returns or the resolution of specific income tax matters with the relevant
tax authorities.

The components of the Company's net deferred income tax assets
(liabilities) are as follows (in millions):

DECEMBER 31,
-----------------------
2001 2000
---------- -----------
Deferred income tax assets:
Loss and credit carryforwards.......................................................... $ 173.1 $ 144.7

Net deferred income tax liabilities....................................................... $ (12.5) $ (20.9)
========== ===========

Included in net deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2001 is
$111.3 million attributable to the tax benefit of loss and credit carryforwards,
net of valuation allowances. The Company evaluated all appropriate factors in
determining the realizability of the deferred tax assets attributable to loss
and credit carryforwards, including any limitations on their use, the reversal
of deferred gains, other temporary differences, the year the carryforwards
expire and the levels of taxable income necessary for utilization. The Company
also considered the potential recognition for tax purposes of the deferred gains
on sales of timber and timberlands. Based on this evaluation of the appropriate
factors to determine the proper valuation allowances for these carryforwards,
the Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will realize the
benefit for the carryforwards for which valuation allowances were not provided.
The deferred income tax liabilities related to deferred gains on the sales of
timber and timberlands are a result of the sales of the Headwaters Timberlands
(1999), the Owl Creek grove (2000), and the Grizzly Creek grove (2001). The
Company has reinvested a portion of these proceeds, and expects to make further
reinvestments. Reinvestments beyond the levels currently planned could impact
the Company's evaluation of deferred gains available for offset against net
operating losses and in turn the Company's evaluation of the realizability of
its net operating losses.

Included in the net deferred income tax liabilities listed above are $5.9
million and $(1.9) million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, which
are recorded pursuant to the tax allocation agreements with MAXXAM in respect of
federal taxes. The remaining portion of the net deferred liabilities is
attributable to state tax jurisdictions.

The following table presents the estimated tax attributes for federal
income tax purposes for the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31,
2001, under the terms of the respective tax allocation agreements (in millions).
The utilization of certain of these tax attributes is subject to limitations.

The income tax provision related to other comprehensive income for the
years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $0.2 million and $0.5 million,
respectively. There was no provision related to other comprehensive income for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
Pacific Lumber has a defined benefit plan which covers all employees of
Pacific Lumber. Under the plan, employees are eligible for benefits at age 65 or
earlier, if certain provisions are met. The benefits are determined under a
career average formula based on each year of service with Pacific Lumber and the
employee's compensation for that year. Pacific Lumber's funding policy is to
contribute annually an amount at least equal to the minimum cash contribution
required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Pacific Lumber has an unfunded benefit plan for certain postretirement
medical benefits which covers substantially all employees of Pacific Lumber.
Participants of the plan are eligible for certain health care benefits upon
retirement. Participants make contributions for a portion of the cost of their
health care benefits. The expected costs of postretirement medical benefits are
accrued over the period the employees provide services to the date of their full
eligibility for such benefits.

The following tables present the changes, status and assumptions of
Pacific Lumber's pension and other postretirement benefit plans as of December
31, 2001 and 2000, respectively (in millions):

Employee Savings Plan
Pacific Lumber's employees are eligible to participate in a defined
contribution savings plan sponsored by MAXXAM. This plan is designed to enhance
the existing retirement programs of participating employees. The cost to the
Company of this plan was $1.4 million, $1.5 million and $1.4 million for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Workers' Compensation Benefits
Pacific Lumber is self-insured for workers' compensation benefits, whereas
Britt is insured for workers' compensation benefits by an outside party.
Included in accrued compensation and related benefits and other noncurrent
liabilities are accruals for workers' compensation claims amounting to $12.9
million and $9.2 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Workers'
compensation expenses amounted to $7.3 million, $3.4 million and $3.9 million
for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

MAXXAM provides the Company and certain of the Company's subsidiaries with
accounting, data processing services, office space and various office personnel,
insurance, legal, operating, financial and certain other services. MAXXAM's
expenses incurred on behalf of the Company are reimbursed by the Company through
payments consisting of (i) an allocation of the lease expense for the office
space utilized by or on behalf of the Company and (ii) a reimbursement of actual
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by MAXXAM, including, but not limited to, labor
costs of MAXXAM personnel rendering services to the Company. Charges by MAXXAM
for such services were $2.4 million, $2.0 million and $3.0 million for the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company believes that
the services being rendered are on terms not less favorable to the Company than
those which would be obtainable from unaffiliated third parties.

thereafter - $155.8 million.

Contingencies
Regulatory and environmental matters play a significant role in the
Company's business, which is subject to a variety of California and federal laws
and regulations, as well as the HCP and SYP, dealing with timber harvesting
practices, threatened and endangered species and habitat for such species, and
air and water quality.

The SYP complies with regulations of the California Board of Forestry and
Fire Protection requiring timber companies to project timber growth and harvest
on their timberlands over a 100-year planning period and to demonstrate that
their projected average annual harvest for any decade within a 100-year planning
period will not exceed the average annual harvest level during the last decade
of the 100-year planning period. The SYP is effective for 10 years (subject to
review after five years) and may be amended by Pacific Lumber, subject to
approval by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (the
"CDF"). Revised SYPs will be prepared every decade that address the harvest
level based upon reassessment of changes in the resource base and other factors.
The HCP and incidental take permits related to the HCP (the "PERMITS") allow
incidental "take" of certain species located on the Company's timberlands which
species have been listed as endangered or threatened under the federal
Endangered Species Act (the "ESA") and/or the California Endangered Species Act
(the "CESA") so long as there is no "jeopardy" to the continued existence of
such species. The HCP identifies the measures to be instituted in order to
minimize and mitigate the anticipated level of take to the greatest extent
practicable. The SYP is also subject to certain of these provisions. The HCP and
related Permits have a term of 50 years.

Under the federal Clean Water Act (the "CWA"), the Environmental
Protection Agency (the "EPA") is required to establish total maximum daily load
limits (the "TMDLS") in water courses that have been declared to be "water quality
impaired." The EPA and the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (the
"NORTH COAST WATER BOARD") are in the process of establishing TMDLs for 17
northern California rivers and certain of their tributaries, including nine
water courses that flow within the Company's timberlands. The Company expects
this process to continue into 2010. In December 1999, the EPA issued a report
dealing with TMDLs on two of the nine water courses. The agency indicated that
the requirements under the HCP would significantly address the sediment issues
that resulted in TMDL requirements for these water courses. However, the
September 2000 report by the staff of the North Coast Water Board proposed
various actions, including restrictions on harvesting beyond those required
under the HCP. Establishment of the final TMDL requirements applicable to the
Company's timberlands will be a lengthy process, and the final TMDL requirements
applicable to the Company's timberlands may require aquatic protection measures
that are different from or in addition to the prescriptions to be developed
pursuant to the watershed analysis process provided for in the HCP.

Since the consummation of the Headwaters Agreement in March 1999, there
has been a significant amount of work required in connection with the
implementation of the Environmental Plans, and this work is expected to continue
for several more years. During the implementation period, government agencies
had until recently failed to approve THPs in a timely manner. The rate of
approvals of THPs during 2001 improved over that for the prior year, and further
improvements have been experienced thus far in 2002. However, it continues to be
below levels which meet the Company's expectations. Nevertheless, the Company
anticipates that once the Environmental Plans are fully implemented, the process
of preparing THPs will become more streamlined, and the time to obtain approval
of THPs will potentially be shortened.

Lawsuits are pending and threatened which seek to prevent the Company from
implementing the HCP and/or the SYP, implementing certain of the Company's
approved THPs, or carrying out certain other operations. On January 28, 1997, an
action was filed against Pacific Lumber entitled Ecological Rights Foundation,
Mateel Environmental v. Pacific Lumber (the "ERF LAWSUIT"). This action alleges
that Pacific Lumber has discharged pollutants into federal waterways, and seeks
to enjoin these activities, remediation, civil penalties of up to $25,000 per
day for each violation, and other damages. This case was dismissed by the
District Court on August 19, 1999, but the dismissal was reversed by the U.S.
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on October 30, 2000, and the case was remanded to
the District Court. On September 26, 2001, the plaintiffs sent Pacific Lumber a
60 day notice alleging that Pacific Lumber continues to violate the CWA by
discharging pollutants into certain waterways. Pacific Lumber has taken certain
remedial actions since its receipt of the notice.

On December 2, 1997, an action entitled Kristi Wrigley, et al. v. Charles
Hurwitz, John Campbell, Pacific Lumber, MAXXAM Group Holdings Inc., Scotia
Pacific Holding Company, MAXXAM Group Inc., MAXXAM Inc., Scotia Pacific Company
LLC, et al. (the "WRIGLEY LAWSUIT") was filed. This action alleges, among other
things, that the defendants' logging practices have contributed to an increase
in flooding and damage to domestic water systems in a portion of the Elk River
watershed. The Company believes that it has strong factual and legal defenses
with respect to the Wrigley lawsuit and ERF lawsuit; however, there can be no
assurance that they will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

On March 31, 1999, an action entitled Environmental Protection Information
Association, Sierra Club v. California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection, California Department of Fish and Game, The Pacific Lumber Company,
Scotia Pacific Company LLC, Salmon Creek Corporation, et al. ("EPIC-SYP/PERMITS
LAWSUIT") was filed alleging, among other things, various violations of the CESA
and the California Environmental Quality Act, and challenging, among other
things, the validity and legality of the SYP and the Permits issued by
California. August 5, 2002, has been set as the trial date. On March 31, 1999,
an action entitled United Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO, CLC, and Donald
Kegley v. California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, The Pacific
Lumber Company, Scotia Pacific Company LLC and Salmon Creek Corporation ("THE
USWA LAWSUIT") was filed also challenging the validity and legality of the SYP.
June 10, 2002, has been set as the trial date. The Company believes that
appropriate procedures were followed throughout the public review and approval
process concerning the HCP and the SYP, and the Company is working with the
relevant government agencies to defend these challenges. Although uncertainties
are inherent in the final outcome of the EPIC-SYP/Permits lawsuit and the USWA
lawsuit, the Company believes that the resolution of these matters should not
result in a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of
operations or the ability to harvest timber.

On July 24, 2001, an action entitled Environmental Protection Information
Center v. Pacific Lumber, Scotia Pacific Company LLC (the "BEAR CREEK
LAWSUIT") was filed. The lawsuit alleges that Pacific Lumber's harvesting and
other activities under certain of its approved and proposed THPs will result in
discharges of pollutants in violation of the CWA. The plaintiff asserts that the
CWA requires the defendants to obtain a permit from the North Coast Water Board
before beginning timber harvesting and road construction activities in the Bear
Creek watershed, and is seeking to enjoin these activities until such permit has
been obtained. The plaintiff also seeks civil penalties of up to $27,000 per day
for the defendant's alleged continued violation of the CWA. The Company believes
that the requirements under the HCP are adequate to ensure that sediment and
pollutants from its harvesting activities will not reach levels harmful to the
environment. Furthermore, EPA regulations specifically provide that such
activities are not subject to CWA permitting requirements. The Company believes
that it has strong legal defenses in this matter; however, there can be no
assurance that this lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

While the Company expects environmentally focused objections and lawsuits
to continue, it believes that the HCP, the SYP and the Permits should enhance
its position in connection with these continuing challenges and, over time,
reduce or minimize such challenges.
