BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries (Rayonier or the Company), reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of certain estimates by management in determining the amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. There are risks inherent in estimating; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. For a full description of the Company’s significant accounting policies, please refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

New Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). This Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It applies to other accounting pronouncements where the FASB requires or permits fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008 and has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the adoption will have on its results of operations or financial position.

FOREST FIRES

During the second quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a $10.1 million charge ($0.13 per share) in its Timber segment’s cost of sales for realized losses and an estimate of probable losses resulting from wildfires on approximately 64,000 acres of the Company’s timberlands in Southeast Georgia and Northeast Florida. The Company’s estimate was based primarily on procedures performed that included aerial surveys as well as sample assessments made at the ground level, but Company personnel were unable to access the entire 64,000 acres at ground level, which generally provides the best estimate of damage. The Company will continue to assess the damage during the balance of the year and believes that additional losses of $1.0 to $3.0 million for timber destroyed by fire are reasonably possible.

INCOME TAXES

The Company is a real estate investment trust (REIT); therefore, if applicable Internal Revenue Code (Code) requirements are met, only the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (which operate the Company’s non-REIT qualified businesses) are subject to corporate income taxes. However, the Company is subject to corporate income tax on built-in gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis for property held by the Company upon REIT election at January 1, 2004) on taxable sales of property during the first ten years following its election to be taxed as a REIT. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109), the Company estimated the amount of timberland and other assets that will be sold in taxable transactions within the ten-year built-in gain period and retained deferred tax liabilities for such items. All deferred tax liabilities and assets related to the taxable REIT subsidiaries have also been retained.

As a REIT, the Company can be subject to a 100 percent tax on the gain resulting from “prohibited transactions.” The Company believes it did not engage in any prohibited transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Like-Kind Exchanges

Under current tax law, the built-in gain tax from the sale of REIT property can be eliminated if sales proceeds from “relinquished” properties are reinvested in similar property consistent with the requirements of the Code regarding like-kind exchanges (LKE), so long as the “replacement” property is owned at least until expiration of the ten-year built-in gain period (ten-year period which began on January 1, 2004). However, this does not restrict the Company’s ability to harvest timber on a pay-as-cut basis from such replacement property during the ten-year built-in gain period.

Undistributed Foreign Earnings

The Company has undistributed foreign earnings from its non-U.S. operations, which it intends to permanently reinvest overseas. The Company also intends to reinvest all future foreign earnings overseas. Therefore, no U.S. taxes have been provided on these earnings.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate before discrete items was 20.9 percent and 18.8 percent, and 14.0 percent and 14.9 percent in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The rate increased due to a lower REIT benefit, which included the forest fire loss, and higher foreign earnings in 2006 taxed below the U.S. statutory rate.

The Company’s effective tax rate is below the 35 percent U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to tax benefits associated with being a REIT and the effect of LKE transactions. Partially offsetting these benefits is the loss of tax deductibility on interest expense ($5.0 million in the quarter), the estimated forest fire loss ($10.1 million in the quarter), and corporate overhead expenses associated with REIT activities ($3.3 million in the quarter). The net tax benefit from REIT activities for the second quarter of 2007 was $6.1 million compared to $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2006. The Company recognized $2.4 million in LKE tax benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $2.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

The following tables reconcile the Company’s income tax provision at the U.S. statutory tax rate to the reported provision and effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30 (millions of dollars, except percentages):

Tax Audits

The following table provides detail of the tax years that remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other significant taxing jurisdictions:

 

Taxing Jurisdiction

  

Open Tax Periods

    

U.S. Internal Revenue Service

   2003 – 2006   

State of Florida

   2000 – 2006   

State of Georgia

   2000 – 2006   

State of Alabama

   2000 – 2006   

New Zealand Inland Revenue

   2002 – 2006   

In the third quarter of 2006, the Company reached a settlement with the IRS regarding disputed issues for its 2000, 2001 and 2002 tax years, resulting in the reversal of $4.9 million of federal tax liabilities previously established for these years. As a result of the settlement, the Company recorded a tax refund receivable of approximately $8.2 million (plus interest) which was received in the third quarter of 2007.

The Company has other matters under review by various taxing authorities, including the examination of tax years 2003 and 2004 by the IRS. The Company believes its reported tax positions are technically sound and its “uncertain” tax position liabilities at June 30, 2007 adequately reflect the probable resolution of these items.

FIN 48 Disclosures

FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, it provides guidance on derecognition, classification, and interest and penalties. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, which did not result in an adjustment to its opening balance of retained earnings. The disclosures associated with the adoption and the underlying “uncertain” tax positions follow:

 

  (a)

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate at January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2007 is $5.1 million.

 

  (b)

The Company has recorded interest on the above unrecognized tax benefits of $1.1 million at January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2007. The Company records interest (and penalties, if applicable) in non-operating expenses.

  (c)

It is reasonably possible that within 12 months of June 30, 2007 the following unrecognized tax benefits could significantly increase or decrease:

 

  (i) U.S. federal tax issues relating to the deductibility of certain expenditures.

 

   

The event that would cause such a change is the completion of the IRS examination of tax years 2003 – 2004.

 

   

An estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change is a decrease of $1.9 million to an increase of $2.1 million.

 

  (ii) Various state tax issues.

 

   

The event that would cause such a change is the examination of IRS settlements for tax years 2000 – 2002 by the appropriate state taxing authorities.

 

   

An estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change is a decrease of $0.4 million to an increase of $0.4 million.

 

  (d)

It is reasonably possible that within 12 months of June 30, 2007 the following uncertain tax position could result in a decrease in tax benefits previously recognized:

 

  (i) U.S. federal tax issues relating to the taxability of a timberland sale treated as an involuntary conversion.

 

   

The event that would cause such a change is the completion of the IRS examination of tax years 2003 – 2004.

 

   

An estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change is $0 to a benefit decrease of $15 million.

In order to qualify for LKE treatment, cash proceeds from real estate sales must be deposited with a third party intermediary and accounted for as restricted cash until qualifying replacement property is acquired. In the event that LKE purchases are not completed, the proceeds are returned to the Company and reclassified as cash after 180 days. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had $44.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of proceeds from real estate sales classified as restricted cash in “Other assets,” which were on deposit with an LKE intermediary. Approximately $27.6 million of the $44.4 million with the intermediary at June 30, 2007 was returned to the Company in July 2007.

JOINT VENTURE INVESTMENT

The Company holds a 40 percent interest in a joint venture (JV) that owns approximately 351,000 acres of New Zealand timberlands. Rayonier’s investment in the JV is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In addition to the Company having an equity investment, Rayonier New Zealand Limited (RNZ), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rayonier Inc., serves as the manager of the JV forests, for which it receives a fee. Income from the JV is reported in the Timber segment as operating income since the Company manages the forests and its JV interest is an extension of its operations. While the JV is subject to New Zealand income taxes, its timber harvest operations are held within the REIT; therefore, the Company generally is not required to pay U.S. federal income taxes on its equity investment income.

A portion of the Company’s equity method investment is recorded at historical cost which generates a difference between the book value of the Company’s investment and its proportionate share of the JV’s net assets. The difference represents the Company’s unrecognized gain from RNZ’s sale of timberlands to the JV. The deferred gain is being recognized on a straight-line basis over nine years (the estimated number of years the JV expects to harvest from the timberlands).

On June 30, 2006, the Company sold 9.72 percent of its interest in the JV to AMP Capital Investors Limited, a subsidiary of the Australian Corporation AMP Limited, thereby reducing its investment in the JV from 49.72 percent to 40 percent. The Company received approximately $21.8 million in cash proceeds and recorded an after-tax gain of $6.5 million, or $0.08 per common share, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

The Company’s investment in the JV was $62.8 million and $61.2 million, at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s equity in earnings from the JV were $1.1 million.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Rayonier operates in four reportable business segments as defined by SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131): Timber, Real Estate, Performance Fibers, and Wood Products. Timber sales include all activities that relate to the harvesting of timber. The Real Estate segment includes the sale of all properties, including timberlands and those designated for higher and better use (HBU). In 2006, the Real Estate segment entered into two participation agreements with developers as part of the Company’s strategy to move up the real estate value chain and, in the future, the Real Estate segment may also include revenue generated from properties with entitlements and infrastructure improvements. The assets of the Real Estate segment include HBU property held by TerraPointe LLC (TerraPointe), Rayonier’s wholly-owned real estate development subsidiary, and timberlands under contract to be sold, as previously reported in the Timber segment. Allocations of depletion expense and the non-cash cost basis of real estate sold are recorded when the Real Estate segment reports the sale of an asset from the Timber segment. The Performance Fibers segment includes two major product lines: Cellulose Specialties and Absorbent Materials. The Wood Products segment is comprised of the Company’s lumber operations. The Company’s remaining operations include purchasing, harvesting and selling timber acquired from third parties (log trading) and trading wood products. As permitted by SFAS 131, these operations are combined and reported in an “Other” category. Sales between operating segments are made based on fair market value and intercompany profit or loss is eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates financial performance based on the operating income of the segments.

Total assets, sales, operating income (loss) and depreciation, depletion and amortization by segment including corporate were as follows:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

Rayonier Forest Resources, L.P. (RFR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rayonier Inc., previously entered into an interest rate swap on $40 million of 8.288 percent fixed rate notes payable which matures on December 31, 2007. The swap converts interest payments from the fixed rate to six month LIBOR plus 4.99 percent and qualifies as a fair value hedge under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). As such, the net effect from the interest rate swap is recorded as interest expense. The interest rate differentials on the swap agreement settle every June 30 and December 31, until maturity. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, this swap agreement increased interest expense by $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, this swap agreement increased the Company’s interest expense by $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Based upon current interest rates for similar transactions, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 resulted in a liability of approximately $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, with corresponding decreases in debt.

In addition, RFR holds an interest rate swap on $50 million of 8.288 percent fixed rate notes payable which also matures on December 31, 2007. The swap converts interest payments from the fixed rate to a six month LIBOR plus 4.7825 percent rate and qualifies as a fair value hedge under SFAS 133. As such, the net effect of the interest rate swap is recorded in interest expense. The swap agreement settles every June 30 and December 31, until maturity. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, this swap agreement increased the Company’s interest expense by $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, this swap agreement increased the Company’s interest expense by $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Based upon current interest rates for similar transactions, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 resulted in a liability of approximately $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, with corresponding decreases in debt.

Commodity Swap Agreements

The Company enters into commodity forward contracts to fix some of its fuel oil and natural gas costs at its Performance Fibers mills. The Company’s commodity forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133 and instead are required to be marked-to-market.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company realized a deminimus gain and a loss of $0.3 million, respectively, on matured fuel oil forward contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company realized gains of $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, on matured fuel oil forward contracts. The mark-to-market valuation of outstanding fuel oil forward contracts at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 resulted in an asset of $0.1 million and a liability of $0.4 million, respectively. The mark-to-market adjustments are recorded in “Other operating income/expense.”

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company realized a deminimus gain and loss, respectively, on matured natural gas forward contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company realized losses of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, on matured natural gas forward contracts. The mark-to-market valuation of outstanding natural gas contracts at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 resulted in a deminimus asset and a liability of $0.1 million, respectively. The mark-to-market adjustments are recorded in “Other operating income/expense.”

In conjunction with the sale of RNZ’s timberlands to the JV in October 2005, the Company guaranteed five years of Crown Forest license obligations. The JV is the primary obligor and has posted a bank performance bond with the New Zealand government. If the JV fails to pay the obligation, the New Zealand government will demand payment from the bank that posted the bond. The Company would have to perform if the bank defaulted on the bond. A deminimus liability, representing Rayonier’s obligation to perform, was recorded in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. As of June 30, 2007, three annual payments, of $1.3 million each, remain. This guarantee expires in 2010.

In conjunction with a timberland sale and note monetization in the first quarter of 2004, the Company issued a make-whole agreement pursuant to which it guaranteed $2.5 million of obligations of a qualified special purpose entity that was established to complete the monetization. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company has recorded a deminimus liability to reflect the fair market value of its obligation to perform under the make-whole agreement.

 

  (3)

Rayonier has issued surety bonds primarily to secure timber in the State of Washington and to provide collateral for the Company’s workers’ compensation self-insurance program in that state. These surety bonds expire at various dates during 2007 and are renewed as required.

 

11.

LIABILITIES FOR DISPOSITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company’s dispositions and discontinued operations include its Port Angeles, WA mill, which was closed in 1997; Southern Wood Piedmont Company (SWP), which ceased operations in 1989 except for investigation and remediation activities; Eastern Research Division (ERD), which ceased operations in 1981; and other miscellaneous assets held for disposition. SWP has been designated a potentially responsible party (PRP), or has had other claims made against it, under the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) and/or other federal or state statutes relating to the investigation and remediation of environmentally-impacted sites, with respect to ten former wood processing sites which are no longer operating.

An analysis of activity in the liabilities for dispositions and discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, is as follows:

 

     June 30,

Rayonier has identified specific liabilities for three SWP sites (Augusta, GA, Spartanburg, SC, and East Point, GA) and Port Angeles, WA as material and requiring separate disclosure which was presented in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have not been any significant changes in these sites’ liability requirements for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and therefore separate disclosure is not presented herein. For an analysis of the liability activity for the three years ended December 31, 2006 and a brief description of these individually material sites, see the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Note 15 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company currently estimates that expenditures for environmental remediation, monitoring and other costs for all dispositions and discontinued operations in 2007 and 2008 will be approximately $10 million and $7 million, respectively. Such costs will be charged against liabilities for dispositions and discontinued operations, which include environmental investigation, remediation and monitoring costs. The Company believes established liabilities are sufficient for costs expected to be incurred over the next 20 years with respect to its dispositions and discontinued operations. Remedial actions for these sites vary, but can include, among other remedies, removal of contaminated soils, groundwater recovery and treatment systems, and source remediation and/or control.

In addition, the Company is exposed to the risk of reasonably possible additional losses in excess of the established liabilities. As of June 30, 2007, this amount could range up to $30 million and arises from uncertainty over the effectiveness of treatments, additional contamination that may be discovered, changes in applicable law and the exercise of discretion in interpretation of applicable law and regulations by governmental agencies, and in environmental remediation technology.

The reliability and precision of cost estimates for these sites and the amount of actual future environmental costs can be impacted by various factors, including but not limited to significant changes in discharge or treatment volumes, requirements to perform additional or different remediation, changes in environmental remediation technology, the extent of groundwater contamination migration, additional findings of contaminated soil or sediment off-site, remedy selection, and the outcome of negotiations with federal and state agencies. Additionally, a site’s potential for Brownfields (environmentally impacted site considered for re-development), or other similar projects, could accelerate expenditures as well as impact the amount and/or type of remediation required, as could new laws, regulations and the exercise of discretion in interpretation of applicable law and regulations by governmental agencies. Based on information currently available, the Company does not believe that any future changes in estimates, if necessary, would materially affect its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, Rayonier may become liable with respect to pending and threatened litigation and environmental and other matters. The following updates or repeats commentary included in the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company has been named as a defendant in various other lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. While we have procured reasonable and customary insurance covering risks normally occurring in connection with our businesses, we have in certain cases retained some risk through the operation of self-insurance, primarily in the areas of workers compensation, property insurance, and general liability. In our opinion, these other lawsuits and claims, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

Legal Proceedings

In 1998, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) filed separate lawsuits against Rayonier Inc., and approximately 30 other defendants, in the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey, seeking recovery of current and future response costs and natural resource damages under applicable federal and state law relating to a contaminated landfill in Chester Township, New Jersey, referred to as Combe Fill South (Combe). It is alleged that the Company’s former ERD in Whippany, New Jersey sent small quantities of dumpster waste, via a contract hauler, to Combe in the 1960s and early 1970s. The Company is working with other defendants in a joint defense group, which subsequently filed third-party actions against over 200 parties seeking contribution. There has been no significant activity since this time. A court-ordered, nonbinding alternative dispute resolution process is ongoing and, in March of 2006, a court-appointed neutral issued a report and recommendations. The Company believes that its liabilities at June 30, 2007 adequately reflect the probable costs to be incurred upon the ultimate resolution of these matters.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations concerning air emissions, water discharges, waste handling and disposal, and forestry operations. Such environmental laws and regulations include the Federal Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, CERCLA, the Endangered Species Act, and similar state laws and regulations. Management closely monitors its environmental responsibilities, and believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with current environmental requirements. Notwithstanding Rayonier’s current compliance status, many of its operations are subject to stringent and constantly evolving environmental requirements which are often the result of legislation, regulation and negotiation. As such, contingencies in this area include, without limitation:

 

   

The Company’s manufacturing facilities operate in accordance with various permits, which often impose operating conditions that require significant expenditures to ensure compliance. Upon renewal and renegotiation of these permits, the issuing agencies often seek to impose new or additional conditions, which could adversely affect our operations and financial performance.

As environmental laws and regulations change, and administrative and judicial interpretations of new and existing laws and regulations are made, our operations may be adversely affected. For example, at our Performance Fibers mills, implementation of the EPA’s 1998 “Cluster Rules” (parallel rulemaking for air and water-based technology discharge limits for pulp and paper mills) with respect to certain portions of dissolving pulp mills has been delegated to the respective states, and since they have not yet been proposed, the timing and ultimate costs are uncertain.

 

   

In our forestry operations, federal, state and local laws and regulations intended to protect threatened and endangered animal and plant species and their habitat, as well as wetlands and waterways, limit, and in some cases may prevent, timber harvesting, road construction and other activities on private lands. For example, Washington, where the Company holds approximately 370,000 acres of timberlands, has among the most stringent forestry laws and regulations in the country.

 

   

Environmental requirements relating to real estate development, and especially in respect of wetland delineation and mitigation, stormwater management, drainage, waste disposal, and potable water supply and protection, may significantly impact the size, scope, timing, and financial returns of our projects. Moreover, multiple permits are often required for a project, and may involve a lengthy application process.

 

   

Over time, the complexity and stringency of environmental laws and regulations have increased significantly, and the cost of compliance with these laws and regulations has also increased. Similarly, the investigatory and remedial standards and requirements relating to our discontinued operations continue to tighten over time. In general, management believes these trends will continue.

Given all of these contingencies, it is the opinion of management that substantial expenditures will be required over the next ten years in the area of environmental compliance. See Note 11 – Liabilities for Dispositions and Discontinued Operations for additional information regarding the Company’s environmental liabilities.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has four qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plans which collectively cover substantially all of its employees and an unfunded plan that provides benefits in excess of amounts allowable under current tax law in the qualified plans. Employee benefit plan liabilities are calculated using actuarial estimates and management assumptions. These estimates are based on historical information, along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause the estimates to change.

The Company closed enrollment in its pension and postretirement medical plans to salaried employees hired after December 31, 2005. Salaried employees hired after December 31, 2005 are automatically enrolled in the Company’s 401(k) plan and receive an enhanced retirement contribution.

The net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s pension and postretirement plans (medical and life insurance) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are shown in the following table:
