TEMPLE-INLAND INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Temple-Inland Inc. and its subsidiaries and special purpose and variable interest entities of which we are the primary beneficiary. We account for our investment in other entities in which we have significant influence over operations and financial policies using the equity method.

We prepare our unaudited interim financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for interim financial statements. As a result, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These adjustments are normal recurring accruals, except as noted. These interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. For further information, please read the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009.

Note 2 – Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

Beginning January 2009, we adopted the following new accounting pronouncements:

•

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141(R), Business Combinations – This standard requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at full fair value. The new standard also changes the approach to determining the purchase price; the accounting for acquisition cost; and several acquisition related accounting practices. We had no business combinations in first six months 2009.

•

SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements – This standard specifies that noncontrolling interests be reported as part of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of equity. Upon adoption we reclassified $91 million of noncontrolling interest of special purpose entities to shareholders’ equity.

•

SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – This standard requires enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Adoption did not have a material effect on our earnings or financial position because we do not have any significant derivative instruments or hedging activities.

•

FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities – This staff position specifies that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and should be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Adoption did not have an impact on our earnings per share.

•

FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 – This FSP delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. Adoption did not have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position.

Beginning second quarter 2009, we adopted the following new accounting pronouncements:

•

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments – This FSP provides a new other-than-temporary model for debt securities. Adoption did not have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position.

•

FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly – This FSP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair

TEMPLE-INLAND INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)

Value Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. Adoption did not have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position.

•

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments – This FSP expands the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to interim reporting periods. We provided these disclosures for second quarter 2009 in Note 10.

•

SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events – This statement establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Adoption did not have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

At year-end 2009, we will be required to adopt:

•

FSP FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets – This FSP amends Statement 132(R), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, to require more detailed disclosures about assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. Based on our current understanding, we do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a significant effect on our earnings or financial position.

•

SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretations No. 46(R) – This statement amends certain requirements of FASB Interpretations No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this statement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)

Note 4 – Share-Based and Long-Term Incentive Compensation

We have shareholder approved share-based compensation plans that permit awards to key employees and non-employee directors in the form of restricted or performance units, restricted stock, or options to purchase shares of our common stock. We also have long-term incentives for key employees in the form of fixed value awards that vest over multiple years. We generally grant awards annually in February, and we use treasury stock to fulfill awards settled in common stock and stock option exercises.

Share-based and long-term incentive compensation expense consists of:

		Second Quarter					First Six Months
		2009		2008			2009		2008
		(In millions)
Restricted or performance units	$	15	$	(1	)	$	19	$	(1	)

Long-term incentive compensation expense		1		––			3		––
Total share-based and long-term incentive compensation expense	$	17	$	2		$	26	$	6

Long-term incentive compensation is related to fixed value awards that were granted to employees in February 2009. These fixed value awards are not tied to our stock price. The fixed value awards vest after three years and provide for accelerated vesting upon retirement, death, disability, or if there is a change in control.

Share-based and long-term compensation expense is included in:

		Second Quarter				First Six Months
		2009		2008		2009		2008
		(In millions)
Cost of sales	$	1	$	1	$	3	$	4
Selling		2		1		2		1
General and administrative		14		––		21		1
Total share-based and long-term incentive compensation expense	$	17	$	2	$	26	$	6

Restricted or performance units

Restricted or performance units generally have a three-year term; vest after three years from the date of grant or the attainment of stated ROI based performance goals, generally measured over a three-year period; and are settled in cash.

A summary of activity for first six months 2009 follows:

		Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share					Aggregate Current Value
	(In thousands)							(In millions)
Not vested beginning of year		1,871			$	32
Granted		1,395				6
Vested and settled		(433	)			36
Forfeited		(12	)			27
Not vested end of second quarter 2009		2,821				18	$		36

TEMPLE-INLAND INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted or performance units was $25 million at second quarter-end share price of $13 per share. It is likely that this cost will be recognized over the next two years. The fair value of awards settled in cash in first six months 2009 was $4 million.

Restricted stock

Restricted stock awards generally vest after three to six years and provide for accelerated vesting upon retirement, death, disability, or a change in control. There were no restricted stock awards granted in first six months 2009 or first six months 2008. There were no restricted stock awards outstanding at second quarter-end 2009. There were 51,275 restricted stock awards with a fair value of $7 per share that vested in first six months 2009.

Stock options

Stock options have a ten-year term, generally become exercisable ratably over four years and provide for accelerated or continued vesting upon retirement, death, disability, or if there is a change in control. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

A summary of activity for first six months 2009 follows:

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (Current value less exercise price)
	(In thousands)					(In years)		(In millions)
Outstanding beginning of year		6,903	$		17
Granted		1,600			6
Exercised		(3	)		7
Forfeited		(185	)		16
Outstanding end of second quarter 2009		8,315			14	7	$		19

Exercisable end of second quarter 2009		4,656				5	$		7

Unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options awards was $7 million at second quarter-end 2009. It is likely that this cost will be recognized over the next two years.

We estimated the fair value of our options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and the following assumptions:

	First Six Months
	2009		2008
Expected dividend yield	3.2	%	2.1	%
Expected stock price volatility	57.5	%	28.2	%
Risk-free interest rate	2.6	%	3.3	%
Expected life of options (in years)	8		8

The Internal Revenue Code allows an excise tax credit for alternative fuel mixtures produced for sale or for use in a trade or business. The IRS approved our registration as an alternative fuel mixer, allowing us to file for the excise tax credit. Through second quarter-end 2009, we recognized alternative fuel mixture tax credits of $79 million and incurred related costs of $2 million.

We incurred substitution costs of $17 million related to the replacement of a qualified letter of credit issuer. Please read Note 11. In first six months 2009, we purchased and retired $154 million of our long-term debt, resulting in a gain of $18 million.

Note 6 – Income Taxes

In second quarter 2009, we provided for $30 million in unrecognized tax benefits, related to our tax position for alternative fuel mixture tax credits. Our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $54 million at second quarter-end 2009, of which $43 million would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. We anticipate that our unrecognized tax benefits may increase $55 million to $60 million over the remainder of 2009.

Note 7 – Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of:

Note 8 – Contingencies and Other

We are involved in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business and believe that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses. Expenses related to litigation are included in operating income. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings would have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations, or cash flows. It is

possible, however, that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results or cash flows in any one accounting period.

Note 9 – Earnings Per Share

We computed earnings per share by dividing income by weighted average shares outstanding using the following:

	Second Quarter		First Six Months
	2009	2008		2009	2008
	(In millions)
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic	106.7	106.6		106.7		106.7
Dilutive effect of stock options held by our employees	1.0	0.7		0.5		0.8
Dilutive effect of stock options held by Forestar and Guaranty employees	0.1	0.1		––		0.1
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted	107.8	107.4		107.2		107.6

At second quarter-end 2009 and 2008, there were 996,463 and 1,203,816 stock options outstanding held by employees of Forestar and Guaranty. These options were granted prior to the spin-offs of Forestar and Guaranty on December 28, 2007. These stock options will be considered in our dilution calculation until they are exercised, cancelled or expire.

At second quarter-end 2009 and 2008, 7,279,828 and 5,151,441 stock options outstanding held by our employees and 941,827 and 864,160 stock options outstanding held by employees of Forestar and Guaranty were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive.

Note 10 — Fair Values and Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as follows:

Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require a reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following valuation techniques:

Market approach	—	Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Cost approach	—	Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
Income approach	—	Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations (including present-value techniques, option-pricing and excess earning models).

Carrying value and the estimated fair value and related valuation techniques of our financial instruments are:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) – (Continued)

Differences between carrying value and fair value are primarily due to instruments that provide fixed interest rates or contain fixed interest rate elements. Inherently, such instruments are subject to fluctuations in fair value due to subsequent movements in interest rates. We excluded financial instruments from the table that are either carried at fair value or have fair values that approximate their carrying amount due to their short-term nature or variable interest rates.

At second quarter-end 2009, we had guaranteed joint venture obligations principally related to fixed-rate debt instruments and letters of credit totaling $16 million. The estimated fair value of these guarantees is not significant.

Note 11 – Financial Assets and Nonrecourse Financial Liabilities of Special Purpose Entities

On April 23, 2009, the credit ratings of SunTrust Bank, one of the banks issuing irrevocable letters of credit securing the notes we received in connection with the sale of our strategic timberland in 2007, were lowered to a level that required the letters of credit issued by SunTrust to be replaced by letters of credit issued by another qualifying financial institution.

On May 21, 2009, Coöperative Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., commonly known as Rabobank, at the request of the timberland buyer, issued substitute letters of credit totaling approximately $500 million in complete replacement of SunTrust as a qualified letter of credit issuer in the transaction. In connection with the substitution, we paid approximately $3 million in fees to Rabobank, which will be amortized through 2027, the remaining life of the transaction.

As a result of the substitution of SunTrust, we recognized $17 million of other non-operating expense in second quarter 2009, which consisted of $15 million in fees that we paid in connection with the issuance of the SunTrust letters of credit, which were being amortized over the life of the letters of credit, and $2 million of other fees associated with terminating the transaction with SunTrust.

Note 12 – Segment Information

We have two business segments: corrugated packaging and building products. Corrugated packaging manufactures linerboard and corrugating medium (collectively referred to as containerboard), that we convert into corrugated packaging, and lightweight gypsum facing paper. Building products manufactures a variety of building products, including lumber, gypsum wallboard, particleboard, medium density fiberboard (or MDF), and fiberboard.

We evaluate performance based on operating income before items not included in segments and income taxes. Items not included in segments represent items managed on a company-wide basis and include corporate general and administrative expense, share-based and long-term incentive compensation, other operating and non-operating income (expense), and interest income and expense. Other operating income (expense) includes gain or loss on sale of assets, asset impairments, and unusual income and expense items. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the accounting policy notes to the financial statements. Intersegment sales are recorded at market prices. Intersegment sales and shared service expense allocations are netted in costs and expenses.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “could,” “estimate,” “likely,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “expect,” and similar expressions, including references to assumptions. These statements reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors and uncertainties that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

•

general economic, market or business conditions;

•

the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to us and that we may pursue;

•

fluctuations in costs and expenses including the costs of raw materials, purchased energy, and freight;

•

changes in interest rates;

•

current conditions in financial markets could adversely affect our ability to finance our operations;

•

demand for new housing;

•

accuracy of accounting assumptions related to impaired assets, pension and postretirement costs, contingency reserves, and income taxes;

•

competitive actions by other companies;

•

changes in laws or regulations;

•

our ability to execute certain strategic and business improvement initiatives;

•

the accuracy of certain judgments and estimates concerning the integration of acquired operations; and

•

other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Our actual results, performance, or achievement probably will differ from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements, and accordingly, we can give no assurances that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what impact they will have on our results of operations or financial condition. In view of these uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements contained in this report to reflect the occurrence of events after the date of this report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Return on investment (ROI) is an important internal measure for us because it is a key component of our evaluation of overall performance and the performance of our business segments. Studies have shown that there is a direct correlation between shareholder value and ROI and that shareholder value is created when ROI exceeds the cost of capital. ROI allows us to evaluate our performance on a consistent basis as the amount we earn relative to the amount invested in our business segments. A significant portion of senior management’s compensation is based on achieving ROI targets.

In evaluating overall performance, we define ROI as total segment operating income, less general and administrative expenses and share-based and long-term incentive compensation not included in segments, divided by total assets, less certain assets and certain current liabilities. We do not believe there is a comparable GAAP financial measure to our definition of ROI. The reconciliation of our ROI calculation to amounts reported under GAAP is included in a later section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Despite its importance to us, ROI is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized definition and as a result may not be comparable with other companies’ measures using the same or similar terms. Also there may be limits in the usefulness of ROI to investors. As a result, we encourage you to read our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Accounting Policies

Critical Accounting Estimates

In first six months 2009, there were no changes in our critical accounting estimates from those we disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2008.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In first six months 2009, we adopted several new accounting pronouncements none of which had a significant effect on our earnings or financial position. Please read Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Results of Operations for Second Quarter and First Six Months 2009 and 2008

Summary

We manage our operations through two business segments: corrugated packaging and building products. A summary of the results of operations by business segment follows:

		Second Quarter						First Six Months
		2009			2008			2009			2008

ROI, annualized								9.4	%		3.1	%

In first six months 2009, significant items affecting net income included:

•

We experienced higher prices and lower volumes for our corrugated packaging products compared with first six months 2008.

•

We experienced lower prices and volumes for most of our building products compared with first six months 2008.

•

We benefited from a decline in most key input costs compared with first six months 2008 and from our continuing initiatives to lower costs, improve asset utilization, and increase operating efficiencies.

•

Share-based and long-term incentive compensation increased $20 million compared with first six months 2008 primarily due to the increase in our share price during the period on our cash-settled awards.

•

We recognized other operating income of $77 million related to alternative fuel mixture tax credits, net of related costs.

•

We incurred $6 million of other operating expense primarily associated with 2008 facility closures and severance related to headcount reductions.

•

We recognized a gain of $18 million in connection with the purchase and retirement of $154 million of our long-term debt.

•

We recognized $17 million of non-operating expense associated with the replacement of an issuer of irrevocable letters of credit securing the notes we received in connection with the 2007 sale of our strategic timberland.

In first six months 2008, significant items affecting net income (loss) included:

•

We experienced higher prices and slightly higher volumes for our corrugated packaging products compared with first six months 2007.

•

We continued to experience lower prices and volumes for most of our building products compared with first six months 2007. Building products benefited from significant cost reduction activities.

•

While we continued to see the benefits from our initiative to lower costs, improve asset utilization, and increase operating efficiencies, the increased cost of energy, freight, chemicals, and fiber compared with first six months 2007 more than offset these benefits.

•

Share-based compensation decreased compared with first six months 2007 due to the decrease in our share price during the period on our cash-settled awards.

•

We incurred $20 million of costs associated with our transformation plan, of which $15 million was related to the settlement of supplemental retirement benefits. We also decreased litigation reserves by $5 million due to the settlement of the remaining claim related to our antitrust litigation.

•

Interest expense decreased primarily due to the December 2007 early pay-off of $286 million of 6.75% Senior Notes and $213 million of 7.875% Senior Notes.

Our operations are affected to varying degrees by supply and demand factors and economic conditions including changes in energy costs, interest rates, new housing starts, home repair and remodeling activities, and the strength of the U.S. dollar. Given the commodity nature of our manufactured products, we have little control over market pricing or market demand.

Corrugated Packaging

We manufacture linerboard and corrugating medium (collectively referred to as containerboard) that we convert into corrugated packaging. In July 2008, we purchased our partner’s 50 percent interest in Premier Boxboard Limited LLC (PBL), a joint venture that manufactured containerboard and lightweight gypsum facing paper at a mill in Newport, Indiana. We have integrated the PBL operations into our corrugated packaging system. Late in 2008, we began producing white-top linerboard at the Newport mill. Our corrugated packaging segment revenues are principally derived from the sale of corrugated packaging products and, to a lesser degree, from the sale of containerboard and lightweight gypsum facing paper (collectively referred to as paperboard).

A summary of our corrugated packaging results follows:

		Second Quarter						First Six Months
		2009			2008			2009			2008
		(Dollars in millions)
Revenues	$	762		$	798		$	1,552		$	1,574
Costs and expenses		(671	)		(746	)		(1,356	)		(1,467	)
Segment operating income	$	91		$	52		$	196		$	107

Segment ROI								18.6	%		10.8	%

Corrugated packaging results for first six months 2008 would not have been materially different from those reported assuming the purchase of PBL had occurred at the beginning of 2008.

Fluctuations in corrugated packaging pricing (which includes freight and is net of discounts) and shipments are set forth below:

	Second Quarter 2009 versus Second Quarter 2008		First Six Months 2009 versus First Six Months 2008
	Increase/(Decrease)
Corrugated packaging
Average prices	(1	)%	1	%
Shipments, average week	––		(3	)%
Industry shipments, average week^(a)	(9	)%	(9	)%

Paperboard
Average prices	(13	)%	(11	)%
Shipments, in thousand tons	14		21

^(a)

Source: Fibre Box Association

The increase in second quarter and first six months 2009 paperboard shipments was primarily due to shipments of light-weight gypsum facing paper offset by a decrease in containerboard shipments.

Compared with first quarter 2009, average corrugated packaging prices were down five percent and average weekly shipments were up six percent, principally due to normal seasonal fluctuations, while average linerboard prices were down six percent and shipments were down 3,000 tons.

Costs and expenses in second quarter 2009, which includes the Newport mill that we acquired in July 2008, were down ten percent compared with second quarter 2008, and down two percent compared with first quarter 2009. These decreased costs were primarily the result of lower prices for wood fiber, recycled fiber, energy, and freight; lower converting costs; and reduced outside purchases of white-top linerboard and medium due to the integration of PBL. In addition, in second quarter 2009 we recognized $1 million in business interruption insurance proceeds in cost of sales, related to a first quarter 2009 equipment outage at our mill in Maysville, Kentucky.

Fluctuations in our significant cost and expense components included:

	Second Quarter 2009 versus Second Quarter 2008				First Six Months 2009 versus First Six Months 2008
	Increase/(Decrease) (In millions)
Wood fiber	$	(14	)	$		(23	)
Recycled fiber		(14	)			(34	)
Energy, principally natural gas		(19	)			(20	)
Freight		(8	)			(11	)
Chemicals		(2	)			1
Depreciation		1				2

The costs of wood and recycled fiber, energy, chemicals, and freight fluctuate based on the market prices we pay for these commodities. It is likely that these costs will continue to fluctuate for the remainder of 2009.

Information about our converting facilities and mills follows:

	Second Quarter				First Six Months
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Number of converting facilities (at quarter-end)	63		64		63		64
Corrugated packaging shipments, in thousand tons	836		867		1,665		1,694
Paperboard production, in thousand tons	960		914		1,915		1,828
Percent containerboard production used internally	93	%	92	%	93	%	92	%
Percent total fiber requirements sourced from recycled fiber	45	%	36	%	45	%	36	%

Second quarter and first six months 2009 paperboard production includes production from our Newport mill that we acquired in July 2008. In first six months 2009, we reduced our production by 37,000 tons to match our production to our demand.

Building Products

We manufacture lumber, gypsum wallboard, particleboard, medium density fiberboard (MDF), and fiberboard. Our building products segment revenues are principally derived from sales of these products. We also own a 50 percent interest in Del-Tin Fiber LLC, a joint venture that produces MDF at a facility in El Dorado, Arkansas.

A summary of our building products results follows:

		Second Quarter						First Six Months
		2009			2008			2009			2008
		(Dollars in millions)
Revenues	$	144		$	193		$	295		$	361
Costs and expenses		(147	)		(192	)		(300	)		(381	)
Segment operating income (loss)	$	(3	)	$	1		$	(5	)	$	(20	)

Segment ROI								(1.9	)%		(7.1	)%

Fluctuations in product pricing (which includes freight and is net of discounts) and shipments are set forth below:

	Second Quarter 2009 versus Second Quarter 2008			First Six Months 2009 versus First Six Months 2008
	Increase/(Decrease)
Lumber:
Average prices		(21	)%		(15	)%
Shipments		(10	)%		(8	)%
Gypsum wallboard:
Average prices		4	%		8	%
Shipments		(7	)%		(3	)%
Particleboard:
Average prices		(5	)%		(2	)%
Shipments		(27	)%		(19	)%
MDF:
Average prices		(1	)%		3	%
Shipments		(18	)%		(14	)%

Pricing for most and demand for all of our building products were down compared with first six months 2008 due to deteriorating conditions in the housing industry. It is likely these conditions will continue for the remainder of 2009.

Compared with first quarter 2009, average prices were flat for lumber and down three percent for MDF, four percent for particleboard, and six percent for gypsum wallboard. Shipments were down seven percent for particleboard, two percent for lumber, eight percent for gypsum wallboard, and nine percent for MDF.

Costs and expenses were down 21 percent in first six months 2009 compared with first six months 2008. The decrease in costs is primarily attributable to curtailment of production to match demand for our products and headcount reductions. In addition, in second quarter 2009, we recognized a $3 million gain from a sale in lieu of condemnation of land near our lumber mill in Rome, Georgia, and we incurred costs of about $1 million related to an indefinite shutdown of our lumber mill in Buna, Texas. In first six months 2008, we incurred $2 million in severance charges for headcount reductions.

Fluctuations in our significant cost and expense components included:

	Second Quarter 2009 versus Second Quarter 2008				First Six Months 2009 versus First Six Months 2008
	Increase/(Decrease) (In millions)
Wood fiber	$	(11	)	$		(17	)
Energy, principally natural gas		(10	)			(14	)
Chemicals		(8	)			(13	)
Freight		(7	)			(10	)

The costs of our fiber, energy, chemicals, and freight fluctuate based on the market prices we pay for these commodities. It is likely that these costs will continue to fluctuate for the remainder of 2009.

Information about our converting and manufacturing facilities follows:

	Second Quarter				First Six Months
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Number of converting and manufacturing facilities (at quarter-end)	16		16		16		16
Operating rates for:
Lumber	63	%	81	%	71	%	95	%
Gypsum wallboard	51	%	52	%	53	%	52	%
Particleboard	62	%	76	%	62	%	70	%
MDF	93	%	109	%	95	%	101	%

The number of converting and manufacturing facilities and the operating rates include our lumber mill in Buna, Texas, which was indefinitely shutdown in second quarter 2009. The lower average operating rates in first six months 2009 resulted from the curtailment of production to match demand for our products.

Items Not Included in Segments

Items not included in segments are income and expenses that are managed on a company-wide basis and include corporate general and administrative expense, share-based and long-term incentive compensation, other operating and non-operating income (expense), and interest income and expense.

The change in share-based and long-term incentive compensation was principally due to the effect on our cash-settled awards from our share price being higher at end of the period compared with our share price at year-end 2008. Please read Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Other operating income not included in business segments totaled $71 million in first six months 2009 and included income of $77 million related to alternative fuel mixture tax credits, net of related costs and, charges of $6 million primarily associated with 2008 facility closures and severance related to headcount reductions.

We are continuing our efforts to enhance return on investment by lowering costs, improving operating efficiencies and increasing asset utilization. As a result, we will continue to review operations that are unable to meet return objectives and determine appropriate courses of action, including possibly consolidating and closing converting facilities and selling under-performing assets.

Other non-operating income (expense) for first six months 2009 includes costs of $17 million associated with the replacement of SunTrust Bank as an issuer of irrevocable letters of credit securing the notes we received in connection with the sale of our strategic timberland in 2007. The $17 million consists of $15 million in fees that we paid in connection with the issuance of the SunTrust letters of credit, which was being amortized over the life of the letters of credit, and $2 million in other fees associated with terminating the transaction with SunTrust. Other non-operating income (expense) also includes gains of $18 million in connection with the purchase and retirement of $28 million of our 7.875% Senior Notes due in 2012, $120 million of our 6.375% Senior Notes due in 2016, and $6 million of our 6.625% Senior Notes due in 2018.

Net interest income (expense) on financial assets and nonrecourse liabilities of special purpose entities relates to interest income on the $2.38 billion of notes received from the sale of our timberland in 2007 and interest expense on the $2.14 billion of borrowings secured by a pledge of the notes received. The notes receivable were contributed to and the borrowings were made by two wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities, which we consolidate. The borrowings are nonrecourse beyond these two entities. At second quarter-end 2009, the interest rate on our financial assets was 1.08 percent and the interest rate on our nonrecourse financial liabilities was 1.23 percent. These interest rates are variable and are based on different indices and, therefore, may not always reflect the same spread.

The change in interest expense in first six months 2009 compared with first six months 2008 was primarily due to lower levels of debt outstanding.

Goodwill

Our goodwill totals $394 million of which $265 million is allocated to our corrugated packaging segment and $129 million to the gypsum wallboard component of our building products segment. Substantially all our goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. We do not believe our goodwill is impaired at second quarter-end 2009.

Goodwill was tested for impairment at the beginning of fourth quarter 2008 in conjunction with our annual test and again as of year-end 2008 in conjunction with an interim test due in part to the decline in our market capitalization. Both tests indicated that our goodwill was not impaired and that the estimated fair value of the reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying value. In performing these tests, we estimated fair value based on discounted cash flow models, which included estimates of amounts and timing of future cash flows, discount rates, product pricing and shipments, and input costs. We used discount rates between 9.5 percent and 13 percent to discount the estimated future cash flow estimates.

Since year-end 2008 there have been no changes in the composition of our reporting units and our analysis of first six months 2009 events and operations, including the improvement in our market capitalization, did not indicate it was likely that there had been any significant deterioration in the estimated fair value of our reporting units. As a result, we did not perform an interim test for goodwill impairment at second quarter-end 2009. If economic and market conditions are depressed for a prolonged period, it is possible that in future periods our goodwill could become impaired, and we would be required to recognize impairment charges, which could possibly be significant.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 35 percent in second quarter 2009 and 39 percent in first six months 2009. Our effective tax rate was 27 percent in second quarter 2008 and 64 percent in first six months 2008. Differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory rate are due to state income taxes, nondeductible items, and deferred taxes on unremitted foreign income.

Average Shares Outstanding

The increase in average diluted shares outstanding in second quarter 2009 was due to the increase in the dilutive effect of stock options as a result of our higher share price.

We operate in cyclical industries and our operating cash flows vary accordingly. Our principal operating cash requirements are for compensation, wood and recycled fiber, energy, interest, and taxes. Pricing improved and shipments decreased slightly for our corrugated packaging products in first six months 2009, while pricing and shipments of most of our building products continued to decline. Working capital is subject to cyclical operating needs, the timing of collection of receivables and the payment of payables and expenses and, to a lesser extent, to seasonal fluctuations in our operations.

_____________

^(a) Includes voluntary, discretionary contributions to our qualified defined benefit plan of $15 million in 2009 and 2008.

^(b) Includes $63 million of alternative fuel mixture tax credits, net of related costs and tax payments.

Our cash from operations in first six months 2008 included payments of about $316 million related to the completion of our 2007 transformation plan.

We issued 1,959 and 180,270 shares of common stock in first six months 2009 and 2008 to employees exercising options and for vesting of share-settled units. We paid cash dividends to shareholders of $0.20 per share in first six months 2009 and 2008. On August 7, 2009, our Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.10 per share payable on September 15, 2009.

Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $120 million in 2009 or about 59 percent of expected 2009 depreciation and amortization. The expected reduction of capital expenditures in 2009 is primarily the result of the completion of the majority of our box plant transformation to increase efficiencies in our corrugated packaging operations.

Liquidity

Credit Agreements

Our sources of short-term funding are our operating cash flows and borrowings under our credit agreements and accounts receivable securitization facility. At second quarter-end 2009, we had $689 million of unused borrowing capacity under our committed credit agreements and accounts receivable securitization facility.

		Committed Credit Agreements			Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility			Total
		(In millions)
Committed	$	825		$	250		$	1,075
Less: Borrowings and commitments		(152	)		(234	)		(386	)
Unused borrowing capacity at second quarter-end 2009	$	673		$	16		$	689

Our committed credit agreements include a $750 million revolving credit facility that expires in 2011. Of the remaining $75 million, $35 million that expires in 2009 and $15 million that expires in 2010 have term-out agreements that do not require outstanding borrowings to be repaid until 2011, and $25 million expires in July 2010.

Our accounts receivable securitization facility expires in September 2010.

Our debt agreements, accounts receivable securitization facility, and credit agreements contain terms, conditions, and financial covenants customary for such agreements, including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage. We are currently in compliance with these covenants and do not currently anticipate any change in circumstances that would impair our ability to continue to comply with these covenants.

We believe the amount available under these credit facilities along with our existing cash and cash equivalents and expected cash flows from operations will provide us sufficient funds to meet our operating needs for the foreseeable future. In light of the current conditions in financial markets, we closely monitor the banks in our credit facilities. To date, we have experienced no difficulty in borrowing under the facilities and have not received any indications that any of the participating banks would not be able to honor their commitments under these facilities.

Financial Assets and Nonrecourse Financial Liabilities of Special Purpose Entities

As a result of the substitution of SunTrust, we recognized $17 million of other non-operating expense in second quarter 2009, which consisted of $15 million in fees that we paid in connection with the issuance of the SunTrust letters of credit, which was being amortized over the life of the letters of credit, and $2 million of other fees associated with terminating the transaction with SunTrust.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At second quarter-end 2009, there were no significant changes in off-balance sheet arrangements from that disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2008.

Pension and Postretirement Matters

We have no minimum funding requirement under ERISA in 2009. We made $15 million in voluntary, discretionary contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plan in first six months 2009.

Energy

Energy costs, which include energy consumed at the Newport mill that we acquired in July 2008, were $143 million in first six months 2009 compared with $177 million in first six months 2008. Our energy costs fluctuate based on the market prices we pay for these commodities and on the amount and mix of fuels we may use. We continue to reduce our dependency on natural gas by utilizing biomass fuels. We hedge very little of our energy needs. It is likely that these costs will continue to fluctuate for the remainder of 2009.

The Internal Revenue Code allows a refundable tax credit for alternative fuel mixtures produced for sale or for use in a trade or business. The application of the alternative fuel mixture tax credit to the alternative fuel used in the paper industry is a complicated issue that continues to receive significant attention from the U.S. Congress. The credit is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2009. However, there has been significant discussion about early termination of the credit.

The IRS approved our registration as an alternative fuel mixer, allowing us to file for the alternative fuel mixture tax credit. Through second quarter-end 2009, we recognized credits of $79 million and incurred related costs of $2 million, primarily related to equipment used in the mixing process and the purchase of diesel fuel mixed with the alternative fuel.

For income tax purposes we believe the alternative fuel mixture tax credits are not taxable but may be subject to alternative minimum tax. However, we were required under generally accepted accounting principles to establish a $30 million liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to the tax position taken regarding these credits.

As a result of the political environment and the uncertainties surrounding the alternative fuel mixture tax credit, the sustainability of any potential future credits is not assured and could result in changes in the recognition of the alternative fuel mixture tax credits in future periods. In addition, early termination of the alternative fuel mixture tax credits would increase our effective tax rate for 2009.

Litigation and Related Matters

We are involved in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business, and we believe that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or long-term results of operations or cash flows. It is possible, however, that charges related to these matters could be significant to results of operations or cash flows in any single accounting period.

In second quarter 2009, there were no material developments in pending legal proceedings.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate exposure is primarily related to our variable-rate, long-term debt and to the financial assets and nonrecourse financial liabilities of special purpose entities. This exposure is the result of changes in interest rates and also the use of different base rates and the timing of the quarterly interest rate resets on the financial assets and nonrecourse financial liabilities of special purpose entities. As discussed below, the net effect on our pre-tax income of a one percent change in interest rates is zero.

Our variable-rate debt was $353 million at second quarter-end 2009 and $351 million at year-end 2008. A one percent change in interest rates would change our annual interest expense on variable-rate debt by $3 million.

Our $2.47 billion of financial assets of special purpose entities require quarterly interest payments based on variable rates that reset quarterly. A one percent change in interest rates would change the annual interest income on these assets $24 million.

Our $2.14 billion of nonrecourse financial liabilities of special purpose entities require quarterly interest payments based on variable interest rates. The interest rates on these liabilities reflect the lenders’ pooled commercial paper issuance rates plus a margin. A one percent change in interest rates would change the annual interest expense on these borrowings $21 million.

The following table illustrates the estimated effect on our pre-tax income of immediate, parallel, and sustained shifts in interest rates for the next 12 months at second quarter-end 2009 on our variable-rate debt and our net financial assets and nonrecourse financial liabilities of special purpose entities, with comparative year-end 2008 information.

	Increase (Decrease)
	Second Quarter-End 2009			Year-End 2008
	Variable Rate Debt	Special Purpose Entities - Net	Total	Variable Rate Debt	Special Purpose Entities - Net	Total
	(In millions)
Change in Interest Rates
+2%	$ (7)	$ 5	$ (2)	$ (7)	$ 5	$ (2)
+1%	(3)	3	––	(3)	2	(1)
-1%	3	(3)	––	3	(2)	1
-2%	N/A	N/A	N/A	7	(5)	2

The down two percent scenario is not applicable at second quarter-end 2009 due to the current low interest rate environment.

Foreign Currency Risk

In first six months 2009, there were no significant changes in foreign currency risk from that disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2008.

Commodity Price Risk

In first six months 2009, there were no significant changes in commodity price risk from that disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2008.
