P. H. GLATFELTER COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

     P. H. Glatfelter Company and subsidiaries (“Glatfelter”) is a manufacturer of specialty papers and engineered products. Headquartered in York, Pennsylvania, our manufacturing facilities are located in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania; Neenah, Wisconsin; Gernsbach, Germany; Scaër, France and the Philippines. Our products are marketed throughout the United States and in many foreign countries, either through wholesale paper merchants, brokers and agents or directly to customers.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the accounts of Glatfelter and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Glatfelter’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     These Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, these Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal, recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

     Stock-based Compensation We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Compensation expense for performance-based restricted stock awards is recognized ratably over the performance period based on changes in quoted market prices of Glatfelter stock and the likelihood of achieving the performance goals. This variable plan accounting recognition is due to the uncertainty of achieving performance goals and estimating the number of shares ultimately to be issued. Compensation expense for awards of nonvested restricted stock units

(“RSUs”) is recognized over their graded vesting period based on the grant-date fair value. The grant-date fair value is determined based on the grant-date closing price of Glatfelter common stock. The exercise price of all employee or non-employee director stock options is at least equal to their grant-date fair value. Accordingly, no compensation expense is recorded for stock options granted to employees or non-employee directors.

     Pro Forma Information No compensation expense has been recognized for the issuance of non-qualified stock options. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the first six months of 2004 was $3.32. No options were granted in 2005.

     The following table sets forth pro forma information as if compensation expense for all stock-based compensation had been determined consistent with the fair value method of SFAS No. 123.

3. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In December 2004, SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” was issued. This standard requires employee stock options and other stock-based compensation awards to be accounted for under the fair value method, and eliminates the ability to account for these instruments under the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, and allowed under the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect its impact to be material to our consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

     In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations — an interpretation of SFAS Statement No. 143” (“FIN 47”). This Interpretation, which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005, clarifies the term “conditional” as used in SFAS No. 143 and requires companies to record a liability for “conditional” asset retirement obligations if required legally and there exists sufficient information to make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FIN 47 may have on our consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

4. GAIN ON DISPOSITIONS OF PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND TIMBERLANDS

     During the first six months of 2004 we completed sales of timberlands, the corporate aircraft and certain other assets. The following table summarizes these transactions.

Dollars in thousands	Acres		Proceeds		Gain
Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
Timberlands		2,332	$	30,283	$	29,972
Corporate Aircraft		n/a		2,861		2,554
Other		n/a		964		904
Total			$	34,108	$	33,430

     There were no sales of timberlands or corporate aircraft in the first six months of 2005.

6. GAIN ON INSURANCE RECOVERIES

     During the first six months of 2005 and 2004, we reached successful resolution of certain claims under insurance policies related to the Fox River environmental matter. Insurance recoveries included in the results of operations for the first six months of 2005 and 2004 totaled $2.2 million and $25.5 million, respectively, and were received in cash prior to the end of the respective period.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     During 2005 and 2004, 158,982 and 165,680, respectively, of non-vested Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) were awarded, under the 2005 and 1992 Key Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan, respectively, to executive officers, non-employee directors and other key employees. Under terms of the awards, the RSUs vest based solely on the passage of time on a graded scale over a three-year to five-year period. The grant date fair value, net of forfeitures, of RSUs granted in 2005 and 2004 totaled $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The RSUs were recorded as “Deferred compensation,” a contra-equity account in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

8. RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS

     We have both funded and, with respect to our international operations, unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plans, covering substantially all of our employees. The benefits are based, in the case of certain plans, on average salary and years of service and, in the case of other plans, on a fixed amount for each year of service. Plan provisions and funding meet the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for all of its defined benefit plans.

     We also provide certain healthcare benefits to eligible retired employees. These benefits include a comprehensive medical plan for retirees prior to age 65, and fixed supplemental premium payments to retirees over age 65 to help defray the costs of Medicare. The plan is not funded and claims are paid as reported.

     The following tables set forth information with respect to our defined benefit plans.

Long-term debt, excluding current portion	$	184,000		$	207,277

     On June 24, 2002, we entered into an unsecured $102.5 million multi-currency revolving credit facility due June 2006, (the “Facility”) with a syndicate of three major banks. An additional $22.5 million was added to the Facility on September 24, 2002 with a fourth major bank. The Facility enables Glatfelter or its subsidiaries to borrow up to the equivalent of $125.0 million in certain currencies. Borrowings can be made for any time period from one day to six months and incur interest based on the domestic prime rate or a Eurocurrency rate, at our option, plus a margin ranging from .525 to 1.05. The margin and a facility fee on the commitment balance are based on the higher of our debt ratings as published by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. The Facility requires us to meet certain leverage and interest coverage ratios, with both of which we are in compliance at June 30, 2005.

     On July 22, 1997, we issued $150.0 million principal amount of 6^7/8% Notes due July 15, 2007. Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15. The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time at a calculated redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, and constitute unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

     On March 21, 2003, we sold approximately 25,500 acres of timberlands and received as consideration a $37.9 million 10-year interest bearing note receivable from the timberland buyer. We pledged the Note as collateral under a $34.0 million promissory note payable to SunTrust Financial (the “Note Payable”). The Note Payable bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.82% for five years at which time we can elect to renew the obligation.

     P. H. Glatfelter Company guarantees debt obligations of all its subsidiaries. All such obligations are recorded in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

     At June 30, 2005, we had $4.3 million of letters of credit issued to us by a financial institution. The letters of credit are for the benefit of certain state workers compensation insurance agencies in conjunction with our self-insurance program. No amounts were outstanding under the letters of credit. We bear the credit risk on this amount to the extent that we do not comply with the provisions of certain agreements. The letters of credit do not reduce the amount available under our lines of credit.

12. CROSS-CURRENCY SWAP

     In conjunction with our 2002 refinancing, we entered into a cross-currency swap transaction effective June 24, 2002. Under this transaction, we swapped $70.0 million for approximately €73.0 million and will pay interest on the Euro portion of the swap at a floating Eurocurrency Rate, plus applicable margins and will receive interest on the dollar portion of the swap at a floating U.S. dollar LIBOR, plus applicable margins. The contract matures on June 24, 2006. The cross-currency swap is designed to provide protection from the impact that changes in currency rates have on certain U.S. dollar-denominated inter-company

GLATFELTER

-8-

obligations recorded at our subsidiary in Gernsbach, Germany.

     The cross-currency swap is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value of $(18.0) and $(29.6) million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, under the caption “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities”, respectively. Changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings as “Other income (expenses)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The mark-to-market adjustment was offset by a gain on the related remeasurement of the U.S. dollar -denominated inter-company obligations.

     The credit risks associated with our financial derivatives are controlled through the evaluation and monitoring of creditworthiness of the counterparties. Although counterparties may expose us to losses in the event of nonperformance, we do not expect such losses, if any, to be significant.

13. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Ecusta Division Matters In August 2001, pursuant to an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”), we sold the assets of our Ecusta Division to four related entities, consisting of Purico (IOM) Limited, an Isle of Man limited liability company (“Purico”), and RF&Son Inc. (“RF”), RFS US Inc. (“RFS US”) and RFS Ecusta Inc. (“RFS Ecusta”), each of which is a Delaware corporation, (collectively, the “Buyers”).

     In August 2002, the Buyers shut down the manufacturing operation of the pulp and paper mill in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina, which was the most significant operation of the Ecusta Division. On October 23, 2002, RFS Ecusta and RFS US filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. During the fourth quarter of 2002, in accordance with the provisions of the Acquisition Agreement, we notified the Buyers of third party claims (“Third Party Claims”) made against us for which we are seeking indemnification from the Buyers. The Third Party Claims primarily relate to certain post-retirement benefits, workers compensation claims and vendor payables.

     Effective August 8, 2003, the assets of RFS Ecusta and RFS US, which substantially consist of the pulp and paper mill and related real property, were sold to several third parties unrelated to the Buyers (the “New Buyers”). We understand the New Buyers’ business

plan was to continue certain mill-related operations and to convert portions of the mill site into a business park.

     Beginning in April 2003, government authorities, including the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (“NCDENR”), initiated discussions with us and the New Buyers regarding, among other environmental issues, certain potential landfill closure liabilities (“Landfill Closure Costs”) associated with the Ecusta mill and its properties. The discussions focused on NCDENR’s desire to establish a plan and secure financial resources to close three landfills located at the Ecusta facility and to address other environmental matters at the facility. During the third quarter of 2003, the discussions ended with NCDENR’s conclusion to hold us responsible for the closure of the landfills. In March 2004, the NCDENR issued us an order requiring the closure of one of the three landfills at issue. We intend to pursue reimbursement for any such Landfill Closure Costs from the Buyers under the indemnification provisions of the Acquisition Agreement.

     Based on our analysis of available information and our landfill closure experience, we estimated the Landfill Closure Costs would total approximately $7.6 million. During 2003, we established a reserve in this amount through charges to our results of operations. As of June 30, 2005, our reserve for Landfill Closure Costs declined to $5.9 million, reflecting expenditures to complete the closure of one landfill and other work completed to date. We believe this remaining reserve to be adequate based on our estimate of remaining Landfill Closure Costs to be incurred.

     In addition to Landfill Closure Costs, prior to 2003, we had recorded liabilities for Third Party Claims, primarily related to workers compensation claims, for approximately $2.2 million.

     We continue to believe the Buyers are responsible for the Landfill Closure Costs and the Third Party Claims under provisions of the Acquisition Agreement, and believe we have a strong legal basis claim for indemnification. We are pursuing appropriate avenues to enforce the provisions of the Acquisition Agreement.

     In October 2004, the bankruptcy trustee for the estates of RFS Ecusta and RFS US filed a complaint in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina against certain of the Buyers and other related parties (“Defendant Buyers”) and us. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendant Buyers engaged in fraud and fraudulent transfers and breached their fiduciary duties. With respect to Glatfelter, the complaint alleges that we aided and abetted the Defendant Buyers in their purported

GLATFELTER

actions in the structuring of the acquisition of the Ecusta Division and asserts a claim against us under the Bankruptcy Code. The trustee seeks damages from us in an amount not less than $25.8 million, plus interest, and other relief. We believe these claims are largely without merit and we are vigorously defending ourselves in this action. Accordingly, no amounts have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

     The bankruptcy trustee filed another complaint, also in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina, against us, certain banks and other parties, seeking, among other things, damages totaling $6.5 million for alleged breaches of the Acquisition Agreement (the “Breach Claims”), release of certain amounts held in escrow totaling $3.5 million (the “Escrow Claims”) and recoveries of unspecified amounts allegedly payable under the Acquisition Agreement and a related agreement. We were first notified of the potential Breach Claims in July 2002, which are primarily related to the physical condition of the Ecusta mill at the time of sale. We believe these claims are without merit. With respect to the Escrow Claims, the trustee seeks the release of certain amounts held in escrow related to the sale of the Ecusta Division, of which $2.0 million was escrowed at the time of closing in the event of claims arising such as those asserted in the Breach Claim. The Escrow Claims also include amounts alleged to total $1.5 million arising from sales by us of certain properties at or around the Ecusta mill. We have previously reserved such escrowed amounts and they are recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Other long-term liabilities.” We are vigorously defending ourselves in this action.

     Governmental authorities are continuing to monitor the environmental conditions at the Ecusta mill. We are uncertain as to what additional Ecusta-related claims, including environmental matters, if any, may be asserted against us. In September 2004, one of the New Buyers entered into a Brownfield Agreement with the NCDENR relating to the Ecusta mill. We believe that the New Buyers continue to have discussions with the governmental authorities concerning certain other environmental related matters at the former Ecusta facility. The likelihood and extent of potential claims against us could be mitigated by the successful execution of the New Buyers’ business plan. Should any claims be made against us, we would seek indemnification to the extent possible in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement. We cannot ascertain at this time what additional impact, if any, these matters will have on our consolidated financial position and/or results of operations, and no amounts with respect thereto have been recorded.

     Environmental Matters We are subject to loss contingencies resulting from regulation by various federal, state, local and foreign governments with respect to the environmental impact of our mills. To comply with environmental laws and regulations, we have incurred substantial capital and operating expenditures in past years. We anticipate that environmental regulation of our operations will continue to become more burdensome and that capital and operating expenditures necessary to comply with environmental regulations will continue, and perhaps increase, in the future. In addition, we may incur obligations to remove or mitigate the adverse effects, if any, on the environment resulting from our operations, including the restoration of natural resources and liability for personal injury and for damages to property and natural resources.

     Neenah, Wisconsin We have previously reported with respect to potential environmental claims arising out of the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) in sediments in the lower Fox River and in the Bay of Green Bay, downstream of our Neenah, Wisconsin facility. We acquired the Neenah facility in 1979 as part of the acquisition of the Bergstrom Paper Company. In part, this facility used wastepaper as a source of fiber. At no time did the Neenah facility utilize PCBs in the pulp and paper making process, but discharges from the facility containing PCBs from wastepaper may have occurred from 1954 to the late 1970s. Any PCBs that the Neenah facility discharged into the Fox River resulted from the presence of NCR®-brand carbonless copy paper in the wastepaper that was received from others and recycled.

     As described below, various state and federal governmental agencies have formally notified nine potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”), including us, that they are potentially responsible for response costs and “natural resource damages” (“NRDs”) arising from PCB contamination in the lower Fox River and in the Bay of Green Bay, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and other statutes. The other identified PRPs are NCR Corporation, Appleton Papers Inc., Georgia Pacific Corp. (formerly Fort Howard Corp. and Fort James), WTM I Company (a subsidiary of Chesapeake Corp.), Riverside Paper Corporation, U.S. Paper Mills Corp. (a subsidiary of Sonoco Products Company), Sonoco Products Company, and Menasha Corporation.

     CERCLA establishes a two-part liability structure that makes responsible parties liable for (1) “response costs” associated with the remediation of a release of hazardous substances and (2) NRDs related to that release. Courts have interpreted CERCLA to impose

GLATFELTER

-10-

joint and several liabilities on responsible parties for response costs, subject to equitable allocation in certain instances. Prior to a final settlement by all responsible parties and the final cleanup of the contamination, uncertainty regarding the application of such liability will persist.

     The areas of the lower Fox River and in the Bay of Green Bay in which the contamination exists are commonly referred to as Operable Unit 1 (“OU1”), which consists of Little Lake Butte des Morts, the portion of the river that is closest to our Neenah facility, Operable Unit 2 (“OU2”) which is the portion of the river between dams at Appleton and Little Rapids and Operable Units 3 through 5 (“OU3—5”), an area approximately 20 miles downstream of our Neenah facility.

     The following summarizes the status of our potential exposure:

     Response Actions

     OU1 and OU2 On January 7, 2003, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (the “Wisconsin DNR”) and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued a Record of Decision (“ROD”) for the cleanup of OU1 and OU2. Subject to extenuating circumstances and alternative solutions arising during the cleanup, the ROD requires the removal of approximately 784,000 cubic yards of sediment from OU1 and no active remediation of OU2. The ROD also requires the monitoring of the two operable units. Based on the remediation activities completed to date, contract proposals received for the remaining remediation work, and the potential availability of alternative remedies under the ROD, we believe the total remediation of OU1 will cost between $55 million and $137 million.

     On July 1, 2003, WTM I Company entered into an Administrative Order on Consent (“AOC”) with EPA and the Wisconsin DNR regarding the implementation of the Remedial Design for OU1.

     On October 1, 2003, the U.S. Department of Justice lodged a consent decree regarding OU1 (“the OU1 Consent Decree”) with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. In the first quarter of 2004, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin entered the OU1 Consent Decree. Under terms of the OU1 Consent Decree, Glatfelter and WTM I Company each agreed to pay approximately $27 million, of which $25.0 million from each was placed in escrow to fund response work associated with remedial actions specified in the ROD. The remaining amount that the parties agreed to pay under the Consent Decree includes payments for NRD, NRD assessment and Past Costs incurred by the governments. In addition, EPA agreed to take steps to place $10 million from another source into escrow for the OU1 cleanup.

     The terms of the OU1 Consent Decree and the underlying escrow agreement restrict the use of the funds to qualifying remediation activities or restoration activities at the lower Fox River. The response work is being managed and/or performed by Glatfelter and WTM I, with governmental oversight, and funded by the amounts placed in escrow. In mid 2004, activities to remediate OU1 began including, among others, construction of de-watering and water-treatment facilities, and commencement of dredging of portions of OU1. In 2004 we completed dredging, dewatering and disposal activities covering of approximately 18,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment from various locations in OU1. Dredging activities are continuing.

     The terms of the OU1 Consent Decree include provisions to be followed should the escrow account be depleted prior to completion of the response work. In this event, each company would be notified and be provided an opportunity to contribute additional funds to the escrow account and to extend the remediation effort. Should the OU1 Consent Decree be terminated due to insufficient funds, each company would lose the protections contained in the settlement and the governments may turn to one or both parties for the completion of OU1 clean up. In such a situation, the governments may also seek response work from a third party, or perform the work themselves and seek response costs from any or all PRPs for the site, including Glatfelter. Based on information currently available to us, and subject to government approval of the use of alternative remedies under the ROD, we believe the required remedial actions can be completed with the amount of monies committed under the Consent Decree. If the Consent Decree is terminated due to an insufficiency of escrow funds, Glatfelter and WTM I each remain potentially responsible for the costs necessary to complete the remedial action.

     As of June 30, 2005, our portion of the escrow account totaled approximately $18.6 million, of which $7.5 million is recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet under the caption “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and $11.1 million is included under the caption “Other assets.” As of June 30, 2005, our reserve for environmental liabilities, substantially all of which is for OU1 remediation activities, totaled $19.7 million.

     OUs 3 — 5 On July 28, 2003, the EPA and the Wisconsin DNR issued a ROD (the “Second ROD”) for the cleanup of OU3 — 5. The Second ROD calls for the removal of 6.5 million cubic yards of sediment and certain monitoring at an estimated cost of $324.4 million but could, according to the Second ROD, cost within a range from approximately $227.0 million to $486.6 million. The most significant component of the estimated costs is attributable to large-scale sediment removal by dredging.

     During the first quarter of 2004, NCR Corp. and Georgia Pacific Corp. entered into an AOC with the United States EPA under which they agreed to perform the Remedial Design for OUs 3-5, thereby accomplishing a first step towards remediation.

     We do not believe that we have more than a de minimis share of any equitable distribution of responsibility for OU3—5 after taking into account the location of our Neenah facility relative to the site and considering other work or funds committed or expended by us. However, uncertainty regarding responsibilities for the cleanup of these sites continues due to disagreement over a fair allocation or apportionment of responsibility.

     Natural Resource Damages The ROD and Second ROD do not place any value on claims for NRDs associated with this matter. As noted above, NRD claims are distinct from costs related to the primary remediation of a Superfund site. Calculating the value of NRD claims is difficult, especially in the absence of a completed remedy for the underlying contamination. The State of Wisconsin, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (“FWS”), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”), four Indian tribes and the Michigan Attorney General have asserted that they possess NRD claims related to the lower Fox River and the Bay of Green Bay.

     In June 1994, FWS notified the then identified PRPs that it considered them potentially responsible for NRDs. The federal, tribal and Michigan agencies claiming to be NRD trustees have proceeded with the preparation of an NRD assessment. While the final assessment has yet to be completed, the federal trustees

released a plan on October 25, 2000 that values their NRDs for injured natural resources between $176 million and $333 million. We believe that the federal NRD assessment is technically and procedurally flawed. We also believe that the NRD claims alleged by the various alleged trustees are legally and factually without merit.

     The OU1 Consent Decree required that Glatfelter and WTM I each pay the governments $1.5 million for NRDs for the Fox River site, and $150,000 for NRD assessment costs. Each of these payments was made in return for credit to be applied toward each settling company’s potential liability for NRDs associated with the entire river.

     Other Information The Wisconsin DNR and FWS have each published studies, the latter in draft form, estimating the amount of PCBs discharged by each identified PRP to the lower Fox River and the Bay of Green Bay. These reports estimate our Neenah facility’s share of the volumetric discharge to be as high as 27%. We do not believe the volumetric estimates used in these studies are accurate because the studies themselves disclose that they are not accurate and are based on assumptions for which there exists no evidence. We believe that our volumetric contribution is significantly lower than the estimates set forth in these studies. Further, we do not believe that a volumetric allocation would constitute an equitable distribution of the potential liability for the contamination. Other factors, such as the location of contamination, the location of discharge and a party’s role in causing discharge must be considered in order for the allocation to be equitable.

     We have entered into interim cost-sharing agreements with four of the other PRPs, pursuant to which such PRPs have agreed to share both defense costs and costs for scientific studies relating to PCBs discharged into the lower Fox River. These interim cost-sharing agreements have no bearing on the final allocation of costs related to this matter. Based upon our evaluation of the magnitude, nature and location of the various discharges of PCBs to the river and the relationship of those discharges to identified contamination, we believe our share of any liability among the identified PRPs is much less than our per capita share of the cost sharing agreement.

     We also believe that there exist additional potentially responsible parties other than the identified PRPs. For instance, certain of the identified PRPs discharged their wastewater through public wastewater treatment facilities, which we believe makes the owners of such facilities potentially responsible in this matter. We also believe that entities providing wastepaper-

GLATFELTER

-12-

containing PCBs to each of the recycling mills are also potentially responsible for this matter.

     While the OU1 Consent Decree clarifies exposure we may have with regard to the Fox River site, it does not completely resolve our potential liability related to this matter. We continue to believe that this matter may result in litigation, but cannot predict the timing, nature, extent or magnitude of such litigation. We currently are unable to predict our ultimate cost related to this matter.

     Reserves for Environmental Liabilities We have reserves for environmental liabilities with contractual obligations and for those environmental matters for which it is probable that a claim will be made, that an obligation may exist and for which the amount of the obligation is reasonably estimable. The following table summarizes information with respect to such reserves.

	June 30,		December 31,
In millions	2005		2004
Recorded as:
Environmental liabilities	$	7.6	$	7.7
Other long-term liabilities		12.1		13.9
Total	$	19.7	$	21.6

     The classification of our environmental liabilities is based on the development of the underlying remediation plan and execution of the related escrow agreement for the funding thereof. The reserve balance declined as a result of payments associated with remediation activities under the OU1 Consent Decree and items related to the Fox River matter. We did not record charges to our results of operations during the first six months of 2005 or 2004.

     Other than with respect to the OU1 Consent Decree, the amount and timing of future expenditures for environmental compliance, cleanup, remediation and personal injury, NRDs and property damage liabilities cannot be ascertained with any certainty due to, among other things, the unknown extent and nature of any contamination, the extent and timing of any technological advances for pollution abatement, the response actions that may be required, the availability of qualified remediation contractors, equipment, and landfill space, and the number and financial resources of any other parties.

     Range of Reasonably Possible Outcomes — Neenah, Wisconsin Based on currently available information, including actual remediation costs incurred to date, we believe that the remediation of OU1 will be satisfactorily completed for the amounts provided under the OU1 Consent Decree. Our assessment is dependent, in part, on government approval of the use of alternative remedies in OU1, as set forth in the ROD,

and on the successful negotiation of acceptable contracts to complete remediation related activities.

     The OU1 Consent Decree does not address response costs necessary to remediate the remainder of the Fox River site and only addresses NRDs and claims for reimbursement of government expenses to a limited extent. Due to judicial interpretations that find CERCLA imposes joint and several liability, uncertainty persists regarding our exposure with respect to the remainder of the Fox River site.

     Based on our analysis of currently available information and experience regarding the cleanup of hazardous substances, we believe that it is reasonably possible that our costs associated with the lower Fox River and the Bay of Green Bay may exceed our reserves by amounts that may prove to be insignificant or that could range, in the aggregate, up to approximately $115 million, over a period that is undeterminable but could range beyond 20 years. We believe that the likelihood of an outcome in the upper end of the monetary range is significantly less than other possible outcomes within the range and that the possibility of an outcome in excess of the upper end of the monetary range is remote.

     In our estimate of the upper end of the range, we have considered: (i) the remedial actions agreed to in the OU1 Consent Decree and our belief that the required work can be accomplished with the funds to be escrowed under the OU1 Consent Decree; and (ii) no active remediation of OU2. We have also assumed dredging for the remainder of the River and the Bay of Green Bay, as set forth in the Second ROD, although at a significantly higher cost than estimated in the Second ROD. We have also assumed our share of the ultimate liability to be 18%, which is significantly higher than we believe is appropriate or than we will incur and a level of NRD claims and claims for reimbursement of expenses from other parties that, although reasonably possible, is unlikely.

     In estimating both our current reserves for environmental remediation and other environmental liabilities and the possible range of additional costs, we have assumed that we will not bear the entire cost of remediation and damages to the exclusion of other known PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, generally based on their financial condition and probable contribution. Our evaluation of the other PRPs’ financial condition included the review of publicly available financial information. Furthermore, we believe certain of these PRPs have corporate or contractual relationships with additional entities that may shift to those entities some or all of the monetary obligations arising from the lower Fox River and Bay of Green

GLATFELTER

-13-

Bay. The relative probable contribution is based upon our knowledge that at least two PRPs manufactured the paper and arranged for the disposal of the wastepaper that included the PCBs and consequently in our opinion, bear a higher level of responsibility.

     In addition, our assessment is based upon the magnitude, nature and location of the various discharges of PCBs to the river and the relationship of those discharges to identified contamination. We have also considered that over a number of years, certain facilities were under the ownership of large multinational companies that appear to retain some liability for this matter. We continue to evaluate our exposure and the level of our reserves, including, but not limited to, our potential share of the costs and NRDs, if any, associated with the lower Fox River and the Bay of Green Bay.

     We believe that we are insured against certain losses related to the lower Fox River and the Bay of Green Bay, depending on the nature and amount of the losses. On July 30, 2003, we filed a Complaint in the Circuit Court for the County of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, against our insurers, seeking damages for breach of contract and declaratory relief related to such losses. One of the defendant insurers filed a counter-suit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, but that counter suit has been dismissed. The filing of our lawsuit followed the issuance of a Wisconsin Supreme Court opinion regarding environmental coverage issues that is favorable to policyholders. Since the filing of the complaint, we received a total of $35.0 million from the successful resolution of certain claims under insurance policies related to the Fox River environmental matter.

     Summary Our current assessment is that we should be able to manage these environmental matters without a long-term, material adverse impact on the Company. These matters could, however, at any particular time or for any particular year or years, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity and/or results of operations or could result in a default under our loan covenants. Moreover,

there can be no assurance that our reserves will be adequate to provide for future obligations related to these matters, that our share of costs and/or damages for these matters will not exceed our available resources, or that such obligations will not have a long-term, material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. With regard to the lower Fox River and the Bay of Green Bay, if we are not successful in managing the implementation of the OU1 Consent Decree and/or if we are ordered to implement the remedy proposed in the Second ROD, such developments could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity and results of operations and may result in a default under our loan covenants.

     We are also involved in other lawsuits that are ordinary and incidental to our business. The ultimate outcome of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty; however, we do not expect that such lawsuits in the aggregate or individually will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

     In connection with the implementation of the North American Restructuring Program and other initiatives, during 2004, we changed the way we manage our business and transitioned from three distinct business units to two: the Europe-based Long Fiber & Overlay Papers business unit and the North America-based Specialty Papers business unit. While the Long Fiber & Overlay Papers business unit remains unchanged, the formation of the Specialty Papers business unit, which consists of the former Engineered Products and the Printing & Converting Papers business units, allows us to more effectively manage the demand planning process, optimize product mix, minimize process variability and meet the demands of our customers. As a result of this transition, all prior period segment data presented herein has been restated to give effect to the further refinement of our organizational structure discussed above.

There is no comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, the financial results of individual business units are not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other company. The management accounting process uses assumptions and allocations to measure performance of the business units. Methodologies are refined from time to time as management accounting practices are enhanced and businesses change. The costs incurred by support areas not directly aligned with the business unit are allocated primarily based on an estimated utilization of support area services or included

in “Other and Unallocated” in the table above. Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

     Management evaluates results of operations before non-cash pension income, restructuring related charges, unusual items, effects of asset dispositions and insurance recoveries because it believes this is a more meaningful representation of the operating performance of its core papermaking businesses, the profitability of business units and the extent of cash flow generated from core operations. This presentation is closely aligned with the management and operating structure of our company. It is also on this basis that the Company’s performance is evaluated internally and by the Company’s Board of Directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

P. H. Glatfelter Company:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of P. H. Glatfelter Company and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of P. H. Glatfelter Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 15, 2005, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein and Glatfelter’s Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 1.

     Forward-Looking Statements This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects and future consolidated financial position or results of operations, made in this Report on Form 10-Q are forward looking. We use words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “future”, “intends” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from such expectations. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements regarding expectations of, among others, net sales, costs of products sold, non-cash pension income, environmental costs, capital expenditures and liquidity, all of which are inherently difficult to predict. Although we make such statements based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations. Accordingly, we identify the following important factors, among others, which could cause our results to differ from any results that might be projected, forecasted or estimated in any such forward-looking statements:

i.	variations in demand for, or pricing of, our products;
ii.	changes in the cost or availability of raw materials we use, in particular market pulp, pulp substitutes, and abaca fiber, and changes in energy-related costs;
iii.	our ability to develop new, high value-added Specialty Papers and Long Fiber & Overlay Papers;
iv.	the impact of competition, changes in industry paper production capacity, including the construction of new mills, the closing of mills and incremental changes due to capital expenditures or productivity increases;
v.	our ability to continue to execute our North American Restructuring Program, growth strategies and cost reduction initiatives;
vi.	cost and other effects of environmental compliance, cleanup, damages, remediation or restoration, or personal injury or property damages related thereto, such as the costs of natural resource restoration or

	damages related to the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) in the lower Fox River on which our Neenah mill is located; and the costs of environmental matters at our former Ecusta Division mill;
viii.	risks associated with our international operations, including local economic and political environments and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
ix.	geopolitical events, including war and terrorism;
x.	enactment of adverse state, federal or foreign tax or other legislation or changes in government policy or regulation;
xi.	adverse results in litigation;
xii.	disruptions in production and/or increased costs due to labor disputes;
xiii.	our ability to realize the value of our timberlands;
xiv.	the recovery of environmental-related losses under our insurance policies; and
xv.	our ability to identify, finance and consummate future alliances or acquisitions.

     Introduction We manufacture, both domestically and internationally, a wide array of specialty papers and engineered products. Substantially all of our revenue is earned from the sale of our products to customers in numerous markets, including book publishing, food and beverage, decorative laminates for furniture and flooring, and other highly technical niche markets.

     Overview The comparison of our financial results for the first six months of 2005 versus the first six months of 2004 reflects the following significant items:

1)	The North America Restructuring Program, an initiative focused on improving profitability by enhancing our product mix, increasing workforce productivity, and reducing costs by enhancing supply chain management strategies, was implemented beginning in the second half of 2004;
2)	Demand for products in our North America-based Specialty Papers business unit improved and selling prices strengthened beginning in the second quarter of 2004 benefiting the period-to-period comparison;
3)	The results of our Long Fiber & Overlay Papers business unit, based in Europe, declined in the comparison primarily due to increased competition and softer demand in the composite laminates market;
4)	Input costs, primarily fiber and energy related, increased in the comparison; and
5)	Selling, general & administrative expenses increased due to increased legal fees primarily related to actions to collect additional insurance proceeds covering certain environmental liabilities.

     In 2004 we changed the way we manage our business and transitioned from three distinct business units to two: the Europe-based Long Fiber & Overlay Papers business unit and the North America-based Specialty Papers business unit. While the Long Fiber & Overlay business Unit remains unchanged, the combination of the former Engineered Products and the Printing & Converting Papers business units into Specialty Papers allows us to more effectively manage the demand planning process, optimize product mix, minimize process variability and meet the demands of our customers. As a result of this transition, all prior period segment data has been restated to give effect to the further refinement of our organizational structure discussed above.

     Results of individual business units are presented based on our management accounting practices and

management structure. There is no comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, the financial results of individual business units are not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other company. The management accounting process uses assumptions and allocations to measure performance of the business units. Methodologies are refined from time to time as management accounting practices are enhanced and businesses change. Costs incurred by support areas not directly aligned with the business unit are allocated primarily based on an estimated utilization of support area services or included in “Other and Unallocated” in the table above. Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

     Management evaluates results of operations before non-cash pension income, and if applicable, restructuring related charges, unusual items, effects of asset dispositions and insurance recoveries because it believes this is a more meaningful representation of the operating performance of its core papermaking businesses, the profitability of business units and the extent of cash flow generated from core operations. This presentation is closely aligned with the management and operating structure of our Company.

     It is also on this basis that our performance is evaluated internally and by our Board of Directors.

Sales and Costs of Products Sold

	Six Months Ended
	June 30
In thousands	2005			2004			Change
Net sales	$	289,179		$	261,106		$	28,073
Energy sales – net		5,259			5,308			(49	)
Total revenues		294,438			266,414			28,024
Costs of products sold		246,011			229,873			16,138
Gross profit	$	48,427		$	36,541		$	11,886
Gross profit as a percent of Net sales		16.8	%		14.0	%

     The following table sets forth the contribution to consolidated net sales by each business unit:

	Six Months Ended
	Percent of Total
	2005			2004
Business Unit
Specialty Papers		64.7	%		62.4	%
Long-Fiber & Overlay Papers		35.3	%		37.3	%
Tobacco Papers		—			0.3	%
Total		100.0	%		100.0	%

     Net sales totaled $289.2 million for the first six months of 2005, an increase of $28.1 million, or 10.8%, compared to the same period a year ago. This growth was primarily driven by strengthened product pricing and a 5.6% increase in volume in the Specialty Papers business unit compared with the first half of 2004. Higher pricing for Specialty Papers’ products increased revenue by $11.0 million compared to the same period a year ago. Long Fiber & Overlay Papers’ volumes shipped and selling prices were essentially the same in the period-to-period comparison. The translation of foreign currencies favorably impacted net sales in the first six months of 2005 by $3.7 million compared to the same period a year ago.

     Costs of products sold increased $16.1 million in the comparison. In addition to the effect of increased shipping volumes, higher raw material and energy prices increased costs of products sold by approximately $6.7 million and the translation of foreign currencies increased costs by $3.3 million. These factors were partially offset by reduced labor costs attributable to the North American Restructuring Program and to improved operating performance at the Company’s Neenah, WI facility.

     Non-Cash Pension Income Non-cash pension income results from the considerably over-funded status of our pension plans. The amount of pension income recognized each year is determined using various actuarial assumptions and certain other factors, including the fair value of our pension assets as of the beginning of the year. The following summarizes non-cash pension income for each period:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30
In thousands	2005		2004		Change
Recorded as:
Costs of products sold	$	7,413	$	7,978	$	(565	)
SG&A expense		833		706		127
Total	$	8,246	$	8,684	$	(438	)

     The following summarizes SG&A expenses, restructuring charges, gains from asset dispositions and other nonrecurring items:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30
In thousands	2005			2004			Change
SG&A expenses	$	34,364		$	30,513		$	3,851
Restructuring charges		—			867			(867	)
Gains on dispositions of plant, equipment and timberlands		(81	)		(33,430	)		33,349
Gains from insurance recoveries		(2,200	)		(25,500	)		23,300

     Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $3.9 million in the comparison to the year-earlier period. Approximately $2.6 million of the increase was for legal fees which were primarily related to the pursuit of additional insurance recoveries. The translation of foreign currencies increased SG&A by $0.4 million.

     Gain on Sales of Plant, Equipment and Timberlands During the first six months of 2004 we completed the sales of certain assets. The following table summarizes these transactions.

Dollars in thousands	Acres		Proceeds		Pre-tax Gain
Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
Timberlands		2,332	$	30,283	$	29,972
Corporate Aircraft		n/a		2,861		2,554
Other				964		904
Total			$	34,108	$	33,430

     All property sales set forth above were sold for cash

     Insurance Recoveries During the first six months of 2005 and 2004, we reached successful resolution of certain claims under insurance policies related to the Fox River environmental matter. Insurance recoveries included in the results of operations totaled $2.2 million in the first six months of 2005 and $25.5 million in the first six months of 2004. All recoveries were received in cash prior the end of the applicable period.

     We continue to pursue legal actions against certain other insurers that we believe are liable under similar policies related to the Fox River environmental matter.

     Income Taxes Net income for the first six months of 2005 reflects an effective tax rate of 27.9% compared to 40.5% in the same period a year ago. The lower effective tax rate in 2005 was primarily due to shifts in the jurisdictions in which taxable income was earned and the effect of tax credits relative to the level of pre-tax income.

     Foreign Currency We own and operate paper and pulp mills in Germany, France and the Philippines. The local currency in Germany and France is the Euro, while in the Philippines the currency is the Peso. During the first six months of 2005, these operations generated approximately 30% of our sales and 31% of operating expenses. The translation of the results from these international operations into U.S. dollars is subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

     The table below summarizes the effect from foreign currency translation on 2005 reported results compared to 2004:

	Six Months Ended
In thousands	June 30
	Favorable
	(unfavorable)
Net sales	$	3,725
Costs of products sold		(3,313	)
SG&A expenses		(438	)
Income taxes and other		15
Net income	$	(11	)

     The above table only presents the financial reporting impact of foreign currency translations. It does not present the impact of certain competitive advantages or disadvantages of operating or competing in multi-currency markets. The strengthening of the Euro relative to certain other currencies in the comparison of the first six months of 2005 to the same period of 2004, adversely affected the price competitiveness of our Germany-based Long Fiber & Overlay Papers business unit relative to certain competitors.

     The following table sets forth the contribution to consolidated net sales by each business unit:

	Percent of Total

Long-Fiber & Overlay Papers		35.0			37.6
Tobacco Papers		—			0.2
Total		100.0	%		100.0	%

     Net sales totaled $145.3 million for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $16.3 million, or 12.6%, compared to the same quarter a year ago. This growth was primarily driven by a $14.2 million increase in Specialty Papers’ net sales consisting of $5.1 million in higher product pricing and a 9.0% increase in volume. Long Fiber & Overlay Papers’ volumes shipped declined 1% and selling prices declined slightly on a constant currency basis in the quarter-to-quarter comparison. This decline in this unit’s performance reflects the adverse

effects of a weaker economy in Western Europe and increased competition. The translation of foreign currencies favorably impacted 2005 second quarter net sales by $1.8 million compared to the same quarter a year ago.

     Costs of products sold totaled $128.2 million for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $12.3 million compared with the same quarter a year ago. In addition to the effect of a 7.8% increase in net tons shipped, higher fiber, other raw materials, and energy prices increased costs of products sold by approximately $3.2 million. The translation of foreign currencies increased costs by $1.8 million. These factors were partially offset by reduced labor costs attributable to the North American Restructuring Program and improved operating performance at the Company’s Neenah, WI facility. During the second quarters of 2005 and 2004, the Company completed its annually scheduled maintenance shutdown of its Spring Grove, PA facility. These shutdowns result in increased maintenance spending and reduced production leading to unfavorable manufacturing variances that negatively affect costs of products sold. The Spring Grove maintenance shutdown had an estimated impact on gross profit of approximately $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2005 and $5.5 million in the comparable quarter a year ago.

     Non-Cash Pension Income Non-cash pension income results from the considerably over-funded status of our pension plans. The amount of pension income recognized each year is determined using various actuarial assumptions and certain other factors, including the fair value of our pension assets as of the beginning of the year.

     Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the second quarter of 2005 totaled $17.0 million compared with $15.7 million in the year-earlier second quarter. Legal fees, primarily related to the collection of insurance recoveries and other matters, increased $1.4 million in the quarter-to-quarter comparison. The translation of foreign currencies increased SG&A by $0.2 million.

     Foreign Currency We own and operate paper and pulp mills in Germany, France and the Philippines. The local currency in Germany and France is the Euro, while in the Philippines the currency is the Peso. During the second quarter of 2005, these operations generated approximately 29% of our sales and 31% of operating expenses. The translation of the results from these international operations into U.S. dollars is subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

     The table below summarizes the effect from foreign currency translation on reported results for the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same quarter of 2004:

	Three Months Ended
In thousands	June 30, 2005
	Favorable
	(unfavorable)
Net sales	$	1,840
Costs of products sold		(1,772	)
SG&A expenses		(210	)
Income taxes and other		13
Net income	$	(129	)

     The above table only presents the financial reporting impact of foreign currency translations. It does not present the impact of certain competitive advantages or disadvantages of operating or competing in multi-currency markets. The strengthening of the Euro relative to certain other currencies in the comparison of the second quarter of 2005 to the same period of 2004, adversely affected the price competitiveness of our Germany-based Long Fiber & Overlay Papers business unit relative to certain competitors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Our business is capital intensive and requires expenditures for new or enhanced equipment, for environmental compliance matters and to support our business strategy and research and development efforts. The following table summarizes cash flow information for each of the periods presented.

	Six Months Ended
	June 30
In thousands	2005			2004
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period	$	39,951		$	15,566
Cash provided by (used for)
Operating activities		4,911			16,830
Investing activities		(13,875	)		22,987
Financing activities		(6,460	)		(43,968	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		(1,878	)		(318	)
Net cash provided (used)		(17,302	)		(4,469	)
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	22,649		$	11,097

     The decrease in cash generated from operations in the comparison was due to an increase in inventories, payments for income taxes and other changes in working capital.

     The changes in investing cash flows reflect cash proceeds in the first six months of 2004 from dispositions of property, equipment and timberlands

totaling $34.1 million. Further, capital expenditures totaled $14.0 million and $11.1 million in the period-to-period comparison. We currently expect capital expenditures in the full year 2005 to approximate $30 million to $35 million compared to $19 million in 2004.

     The following table sets forth our outstanding long-term indebtedness:

	June 30,			December 31,
In thousands	2005			2004
Revolving credit facility, due June 2006	$	18,256		$	23,277
67/8% Notes, due July 2007		150,000			150,000
Note payable – SunTrust, due March 2008		34,000			34,000
Other notes, various		7			446
Total long-term debt		202,263			207,723
Less current portion		(18,263	)		(446	)
Long-term debt, excluding current portion	$	184,000		$	207,277

     The significant terms of the debt obligations are set forth in Item 1 – Financial Statements, Note 11.

     During the first six months of 2005 and 2004, cash dividends paid on common stock totaled $7.9 million in each period. Our Board of Directors determines what, if any, dividends will be paid to our shareholders. Dividend payment decisions are based upon then-existing factors and conditions and, therefore, historical trends of dividend payments are not necessarily indicative of future payments.

     We are subject to loss contingencies resulting from regulation by various federal, state, local and foreign governmental authorities with respect to the environmental impact of mills we operate, or have operated. To comply with environmental laws and regulations, we have incurred substantial capital and operating expenditures in past years. We anticipate that environmental regulation of our operations will continue to become more burdensome and that capital and operating expenditures necessary to comply with environmental regulations will continue, and perhaps increase, in the future. In addition, we may incur obligations to remove or mitigate any adverse effects on the environment resulting from our operations, including the restoration of natural resources and liability for personal injury and for damages to property and natural resources. Because environmental regulations are not consistent worldwide, our ability to compete in the world marketplace may be adversely affected by capital and operating expenditures required for environmental compliance.

     We expect to meet all of our near- and longer-term cash needs from a combination of operating cash flow, cash and cash equivalents, our existing credit facility or other bank lines of credit and other long-term debt. However, as discussed in Item 1 – Financial Statements – Note 13, an unfavorable outcome of various environmental matters could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, liquidity and/or results of operations.

     Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we had not entered into any off-balance-sheet arrangements. A financial derivative instrument to which we are a party and guarantees of indebtedness, which solely consists of obligations of subsidiaries and a partnership, are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets included herein in Item 1 – Financial Statements.

     Outlook We expect market conditions in our Specialty Papers business unit to remain relatively stable with some softening in portions of our book publishing and envelope converting markets together with continued volume growth in Engineered Products over the course of the third and fourth quarters of 2005.

     Our Europe-based Long Fiber & Overlay Papers business unit is expected to continue facing increased challenges. Certain markets will continue to be adversely affected by increased competition and overcapacity, and we expect other segments to be negatively impacted by relatively weaker economic conditions in Western Europe. We are currently developing a comprehensive program designed to improve the performance of this business unit. Similar to the 2004 North America Restructuring Program, the objectives of this program will include:

• Improved productivity of European facilities through workforce redesign and targeted capital investments;

• Reducing our costs to produce by implementing improved and expanded supply-chain management strategies and redesigning end-to-end planning and scheduling processes at our European operations;

• Enhancing new product development activities to aggressively pursue new market opportunities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

     The table above presents average principal outstanding and related interest rates for the next five years and the amounts of cross-currency swap agreements. Fair values included herein have been determined based upon rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

     Our market risk exposure primarily results from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. At June 30, 2005, we had long-term debt outstanding of $202.2 million, of which $18.3 million, or 9.1%, was at variable interest rates.

     Variable-rate debt outstanding represents borrowings under our revolving credit facility that incur interest based on the domestic prime rate or a Eurocurrency rate, at our option, plus a margin. At June 30, 2005, the interest rate paid was 3.41%. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in the interest rate on variable rate debt would increase or decrease annual interest expense by $0.2 million.

     At June 30, 2005, we had a cross-currency swap agreement outstanding with a termination date of June 24, 2006. Under this transaction, we swapped $70.0 million for approximately €73 million, pay interest on the Euro portion of the swap at a floating Eurocurrency Rate (EURIBOR), plus applicable margins and receive interest on the dollar portion of the swap at a floating U.S. dollar LIBOR rate, plus applicable margins. The cross-currency swap is designed to provide protection from the impact that changes in currency rates have on certain U.S. dollar-denominated inter-company obligations recorded at our subsidiary in Gernsbach, Germany, S&H. The cross-currency swaps are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance

Sheet under the caption “Other current liabilities” at June 30, 2005 and “Other long-term liabilities” at December 31, 2004. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings as “Other income (expense)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Changes in fair value of the cross-currency swap transaction are substantially offset by changes in the value of U.S. dollar-denominated inter-company obligations when they are re-measured in Euros, the functional currency of S&H.

     We are subject to certain risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates to the extent our operations are conducted in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, approximately 70% of our net sales were shipped from the United States, 25% from Germany, and 5% from other international locations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our chief executive officer and our principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2005, have concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

     Changes in Internal Controls There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2005, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
