NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

General. When we refer to “Plum Creek,” “the company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” we mean Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc., a Delaware Corporation and a real estate investment trust, or “REIT,” and all of its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries.

The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of Plum Creek and its subsidiaries. At June 30, 2008, the company owned and managed approximately 8 million acres of timberlands in the Northwest, Southern, and Northeast United States, and owned and operated ten wood product conversion facilities in the Northwest United States. Included in the 8 million acres are about 1.7 million acres of higher and better use timberlands, which are expected to be sold and/or developed over approximately the next 15 years for recreational, conservation or residential purposes. In addition, the company has approximately 300,000 acres of non-strategic timberlands, which are expected to be sold over the next five years. In the meantime, all of these timberlands continue to be used productively in our business of growing and selling timber.

Plum Creek has elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the United States Internal Revenue Code and, as such, is generally not subject to corporate-level income tax. However, the company conducts certain non-REIT activities through various taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are subject to corporate-level income tax. These activities include our manufacturing operations, the harvesting and selling of logs, and the development and/or sales of some of our higher and better use timberlands. Plum Creek’s overall effective tax rate is lower than the federal statutory corporate rate due to Plum Creek’s status as a REIT.

Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. All transactions are denominated in United States dollars.

The consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q are unaudited and do not contain all of the information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to be included in a full set of financial statements. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The audited financial statements in the company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K include a summary of significant accounting policies of the company and should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such periods have been included in this Form 10-Q. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

New Accounting Pronouncements (Adopted during 2008)

SFAS No. 157. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 supersedes the definition of fair value in most existing pronouncements under generally accepted accounting principles that require or permit the use of fair value, including (but not limited to) business combinations, impairments and exchanges of nonmonetary assets. SFAS No. 157 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level III measurements).

SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain non-financial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

PLUM CREEK TIMBER COMPANY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

The company partially adopted SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of 2008, which did not result in recognition of a transition adjustment to retained earnings. The company will fully adopt SFAS No. 157, including all non-financial assets and liabilities, in the first quarter of 2009. The company is in the process of determining the effect, if any, the full adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 159. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of SFAS Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows entities to measure certain financial assets and liabilities and similar non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. Generally, the adoption of this standard is optional. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007; early adoption is permitted for an entity’s first fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided that entity also adopts the provisions of SFAS No. 157 with the early adoption. The company did not elect to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 159 for existing eligible instruments at December 31, 2007.

New Accounting Pronouncements (Not Yet Adopted)

SFAS No. 141(R). In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which is a revision of SFAS No. 141. In general, SFAS No. 141(R) expands the definition of a business and transactions that are accounted for as business combinations. In addition, SFAS No. 141(R) generally requires all assets and liabilities of acquired entities to be recorded at fair value, and changes the recognition and measurement of related aspects of business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date within fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The standard is required to be adopted prospectively and early adoption is not allowed. The Company is in the process of determining the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 160. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”). In general, SFAS No. 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as a separate component of equity and also establishes a framework for recognition of changes in control for a consolidated subsidiary that is not 100% owned. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard is required to be adopted prospectively and early adoption is not allowed. The Company does not own any noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries and therefore does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have any impact on the company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on operating income or net income.

During the second quarter of 2008, the company updated its outlook for its lumber business as a result of a steeper decline in housing starts than previously forecasted. For 2008, housing starts are now forecasted to be less than one million starts and are only expected to improve modestly in the near term. As a result of the significant decline in housing starts and the expectation for continued weak lumber prices, the company concluded that certain of its lumber manufacturing assets were impaired. During the second quarter of 2008, the company recorded an impairment charge of $10 million related to these lumber manufacturing assets. The impairment loss is reflected in the operating income of our Manufactured Products Segment and included in Cost of Goods Sold for Manufacturing in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of the impaired assets was estimated based on expected future cash flows discounted at a risk-adjusted rate of interest.

Inventories, accounted for using the lower of average cost or market, consisted of the following (in millions):

(B) On March 28, 2008, the company entered into a $250 million term credit agreement that matures in June 2012. As of June 30, 2008, the interest rate for the $250 million term credit agreement was 3.48%. The interest rate on this term credit agreement is based on LIBOR plus 1.00%. This rate can range from LIBOR plus 0.5% to LIBOR plus 1.5% depending on our debt ratings. The $250 million term credit agreement is subject to covenants that are substantially the same as those of our revolving line of credit, and allows prepayment of the borrowings at any time prior to the maturity date without premium or penalty.

(C) As of June 30, 2008, the weighted-average interest rate for the borrowings on the line of credit was 3.09%. As of June 30, 2008, we had $369 million of borrowings and $13 million of standby letters of credit outstanding; $368 million remained available for borrowing under our $750 million line of credit. As of July 1, 2008, $117 million of the borrowings under our line of credit was repaid.

The company has a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under which Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc., from time to time, may offer and sell any combination of preferred stock, common stock, depositary shares, warrants and guarantees, and under which Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P., the company’s wholly-owned operating partnership, may from time to time, offer and sell debt securities.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies. The company is subject to regulations regarding forest and harvest practices and is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings, including environmental and regulatory matters, incidental to its business.

Environmental Contingencies. In connection with the October 6, 2001 merger with The Timber Company, Plum Creek agreed to indemnify Georgia-Pacific for substantially all of the liabilities attributed to The Timber Company. During 2003, Georgia-Pacific provided Plum Creek with information about the existence of mine tailings and acidic surface water on approximately 90 acres in Hot Spring County, Arkansas, on former Georgia-Pacific properties (“Arkansas Environmental Issue”). Barite mining and related activities were conducted on the site between 1939 and 1981 in part by lessees of an entity that was acquired by Georgia-Pacific. A remediation plan has not yet been approved. The company believes that it has strong defenses in the matter. Furthermore, to the extent Plum Creek is required to indemnify Georgia-Pacific for its share of the remediation costs, Plum Creek may be able to recover all or a portion of its cost from Georgia-Pacific’s insurance policy, or indemnity obligations of the various lessees that conducted mining operations on the property, or both. The company believes it will be successful in defending the Arkansas Environmental Issue. If the company is not successful in defending this claim, we believe that any loss for the Arkansas Environmental Issue would not be material to our financial position or results of operations.

Unrecorded Contingencies. Management currently believes that resolving other pending legal proceedings against the company, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view on these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome in one or multiple legal proceedings to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial position and the results of operations for the period in which any unfavorable outcome becomes reasonably estimable.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

General. Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P. is a Delaware Limited Partnership and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. (“Parent”) is a Delaware Corporation and real estate investment trust, or “REIT”. References herein to “the Operating Partnership,” “we,” “us,” or “our” relate to Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P. and all of its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries; references to “Plum Creek” relate to Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries.

At June 30, 2008, the Operating Partnership owned and managed approximately 8 million acres of timberlands in the Northwest, Southern, and Northeast United States, and owned and operated ten wood product conversion facilities in the Northwest United States. Included in the 8 million acres are about 1.7 million acres of higher and better use timberlands, which are expected to be sold and/or developed over approximately the next 15 years for recreational, conservation or residential purposes. In addition, the Operating Partnership has approximately 300,000 acres of non-strategic timberlands, which are expected to be sold over the next five years. In the meantime, all of these timberlands continue to be used productively in our business of growing and selling timber.

The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the accounts of Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P. and its subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership is 100% owned by Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. has no independent assets or liabilities. Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. has no operations other than its investment in Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P. and transactions in its own equity, such as the issuance and/or repurchase of common stock and the receipt of proceeds from stock option exercises. Intercompany transactions and accounts between Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P. and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. All transactions are denominated in United States dollars.

Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the United States Internal Revenue Code and, as such, is not generally subject to corporate-level income tax. However, the Operating Partnership conducts certain non-REIT activities through various taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are subject to corporate-level income tax. These activities include our manufacturing operations, the harvesting and selling of logs, and the development and/or sale of some of our higher and better use timberlands. The Operating Partnership’s tax provision includes the tax expense and/or benefit associated with Plum Creek’s taxable REIT subsidiaries, as well as any tax expense and/or benefit incurred by the REIT. The effective tax rate for the Operating Partnership is lower than the federal statutory corporate rate due to Plum Creek’s status as a REIT.

The consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q are unaudited and do not contain all of the information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to be included in a full set of financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P. for the three years ended December 31, 2007, which were included on Form 10-K of Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc. and filed with the SEC on February 28, 2008, and which include a summary of significant accounting policies of the Operating Partnership. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such periods have been included in this Form 10-Q. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

New Accounting Pronouncements (Adopted during 2008)

SFAS No. 157. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 supersedes the definition of fair value in most existing pronouncements under generally accepted accounting principles that require or permit the use of fair value, including (but not limited to) business combinations, impairments and exchanges of nonmonetary assets. SFAS No. 157 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level III measurements).

SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain non-financial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Operating Partnership partially adopted SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of 2008, which did not result in recognition of a transition adjustment to retained earnings. The Operating Partnership will fully adopt SFAS No. 157, including all non-financial assets and liabilities, in the first quarter of 2009. The Operating Partnership is in the process of determining the effect, if any, the full adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 159. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of SFAS Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows entities to measure certain financial assets and liabilities and similar non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. Generally, the adoption of this standard is optional. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007; early adoption is permitted for an entity’s first fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided that entity also adopts the provisions of SFAS No. 157 with the early adoption. The Operating Partnership did not elect to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 159 for existing eligible instruments at December 31, 2007.

New Accounting Pronouncements (Not Yet Adopted)

SFAS No. 141(R). In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which is a revision of SFAS No. 141. In general, SFAS No. 141(R) expands the definition of a business and transactions that are accounted for as business combinations. In addition, SFAS No. 141(R) generally requires all assets and liabilities of acquired entities to be recorded at fair value, and changes the recognition and measurement of related aspects of business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date within fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The standard is required to be adopted prospectively and early adoption is not allowed. The Operating Partnership is in the process of determining the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 160. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”). In general, SFAS No. 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as a separate component of equity and also establishes a framework for recognition of changes in control for a consolidated subsidiary that is not 100% owned. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard is required to be adopted prospectively and early adoption is not allowed. The Operating Partnership does not own any noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries and therefore does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have any impact on the Operating Partnerships’ financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

During the second quarter of 2008, the Operating Partnership updated its outlook for its lumber business as a result of a steeper decline in housing starts than previously forecasted. For 2008, housing starts are now forecasted to be less than one million starts and are only expected to improve modestly in the near term. As a result of the significant decline in housing starts and the expectation for continued weak lumber prices, the Operating Partnership concluded that certain of its lumber manufacturing assets were impaired. During the second quarter of 2008, the Operating Partnership recorded an impairment charge of $10 million related to these lumber manufacturing assets. The impairment loss is reflected in the operating income of our Manufactured Products Segment and included in Cost of Goods Sold for Manufacturing in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of the impaired assets was estimated based on expected future cash flows discounted at a risk-adjusted rate of interest.

This rate can range from LIBOR plus 0.5% to LIBOR plus 1.5% depending on our debt ratings. The $250 million term credit agreement is subject to covenants that are substantially the same as those of our revolving line of credit, and allows prepayment of the borrowings at any time prior to the maturity date without premium or penalty.

(C) As of June 30, 2008, the weighted-average interest rate for the borrowings on the line of credit was 3.09%. As of June 30, 2008, we had $369 million of borrowings and $13 million of standby letters of credit outstanding; $368 million remained available for borrowing under our $750 million line of credit.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies. The Operating Partnership is subject to regulations regarding forest and harvest practices and is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings, including environmental and regulatory matters, incidental to its business.

Environmental Contingencies. In connection with the October 6, 2001 merger with The Timber Company, Plum Creek agreed to indemnify Georgia-Pacific for substantially all of the liabilities attributed to The Timber Company. During 2003, Georgia-Pacific provided the Operating Partnership with information about the existence of mine tailings and acidic surface water on approximately 90 acres in Hot Spring County, Arkansas, on former Georgia-Pacific properties (“Arkansas Environmental Issue”). Barite mining and related activities were conducted on the site between 1939 and 1981 in part by lessees of an entity that was acquired by Georgia-Pacific. A remediation plan has not yet been approved. The Operating Partnership believes that it has strong defenses in the matter. Furthermore, to the extent the Operating Partnership is required to indemnify Georgia-Pacific for its share of the remediation costs, the Operating Partnership may be able to recover all or a portion of its cost from Georgia-Pacific’s insurance policy, or indemnity obligations of the various lessees that conducted mining operations on the property, or both. The Operating Partnership believes it will be successful in defending the Arkansas Environmental Issue. If the Operating Partnership is not successful in defending this claim, we believe that any loss for the Arkansas Environmental Issue would not be material to our financial position or results of operations.

Unrecorded Contingencies. Management currently believes that resolving other pending legal proceedings against the Operating Partnership, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view on these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome in one or multiple legal proceedings to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial position and the results of operations for the period in which any unfavorable outcome becomes reasonably estimable.

Recent Events

Potential Timberland Transactions. On June 30, 2008, we signed an agreement to sell approximately 320,000 acres of Montana timberlands for $510 million in our Northern Resources Segment. The timberlands are scheduled to be sold in three phases as follows:

• $200 million (approximately 175,000 acres) in December 2008;

• $200 million (approximately 67,000 acres) in December 2009; and

• $110 million (approximately 78,000 acres) in December 2010.

In connection with the sales transaction, we will also enter into a wood fiber supply agreement (for up to 15 years) at market-based prices for our manufacturing facilities. The sales are subject to a number of conditions and contingencies.

Furthermore, we are currently pursuing a transaction involving approximately 450,000 acres of timberlands in our Southern Resources Segment. We expect to close this transaction by the end of 2008. If consummated, we intend to apply 50% of the net proceeds from this transaction to repay debt.

Operating Income	$	57		$	94		$	(37	)

Northern Resources Segment. Revenues decreased by $5 million, or 6%, to $74 million in the second quarter of 2008. This decrease was due primarily to lower sawlog prices ($6 million) and lower harvest volumes ($4 million), offset in part by higher pulpwood prices ($2 million). Sawlog prices were 11% lower in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same quarter of 2007 due primarily to mill curtailments as a result of weak lumber prices caused by the significant decline in housing starts. Harvest volume decreased by 6% compared to the second quarter of 2007 due primarily to a temporary increase in harvest levels during 2007 to take advantage of favorable pulpwood prices. Harvest levels for all of 2008 are expected to range between 5.6 and 6.0 million tons compared to 6.2 million tons harvested in 2007.

Northern Resources Segment operating income was 10% of its revenues for the second quarter of 2008 and 18% for the second quarter of 2007. This decrease was due primarily to lower sawlog prices and higher hauling rates. Segment costs and expenses increased by $2 million, or 3%, to $67 million. This increase was due primarily to higher log and haul costs. On a per ton basis, logging and hauling costs increased 5% ($2 million) due primarily to higher fuel costs and longer hauling distances.

31

Southern Resources Segment. Revenues increased by $2 million, or 2%, to $128 million in the second quarter of 2008. This increase was due primarily to higher pulpwood harvest volumes ($10 million) and higher pulpwood prices ($3 million), partially offset by lower sawlog prices ($8 million) and a lower margin mix of log sales ($3 million).

Pulpwood prices on a stumpage basis were about $1 per ton, or 11%, higher in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007. This increase was due primarily to the continued strong demand for wood fiber from pulp and paper companies and a reduced supply of woodchips as a result of lumber and plywood mill curtailments, partially offset by higher hauling costs. On a delivered basis, pulpwood prices increased by almost $2 per ton, or 7%. As a result of the improved pulpwood prices and weak sawlog prices, we increased the percentage of pulpwood harvested, which resulted in an overall lower margin mix from log sales.

Harvest levels for all of 2008 are expected to approximate the 14.1 million tons harvested in 2007; however, we expect the percentage of pulpwood harvested to increase to 57% of the total tons harvested. We have accelerated the harvest of pulpwood to capture favorable prices and plan to defer the harvest of sawlogs until prices improve.

Sawlog prices on a stumpage basis were 16% lower in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 due primarily to a combination of weak demand and higher hauling costs. On a delivered basis, sawlog prices decreased by 11%. The demand for sawlogs has declined due primarily to mill curtailments as a result of weak lumber prices caused by the significant decline in housing starts.

Southern Resources Segment operating income was 29% of its revenues for the second quarter of 2008 and 33% for the second quarter of 2007. This decrease was due primarily to lower sawlog prices, a lower margin mix from log sales and higher hauling rates. Segment costs and expenses increased by $6 million, or 7%, to $91 million. This increase was due primarily to higher logging and hauling costs. On a per ton basis, logging and hauling costs increased 9% ($5 million) due primarily to higher fuel costs.

Real Estate Segment.

	Quarter Ended June 30, 2008					Quarter Ended June 30, 2007
Property	Acres Sold	Revenues (millions)		Revenue per Acre		Acres Sold	Revenues (millions)		Revenue per Acre
Small Non-Strategic	13,215	$	17	$	1,285	21,255	$	28	$	1,295
Conservation	595		1		1,555	480		3		6,660

Development Properties	700		7		9,630	595		13		21,260
Total	26,295	$	57			31,025	$	71

Revenues decreased by $14 million, or 20%, to $57 million in 2008. This decrease is due primarily to the decrease in the number of acres of small non-strategic properties sold ($10 million), lower prices from higher and better use / recreational properties ($5 million) and decreased revenue from development properties ($6 million), offset in part by an increase in the number of acres sold of higher and better use / recreational properties ($10 million).

The number of acres of small non-strategic properties sold during the second quarter of 2008 decreased primarily due to the timing of sales; however, the number of acres sold during the first six months of 2008 is comparable to the same period in 2007. For all of 2008, we expect the number of acres of small non-strategic properties sold should approximate the 78,000 acres sold during 2007. Our average sale price per acre for higher and better use / recreational properties decreased by 13% due primarily to sales mix. During the second quarter of 2008, demand for properties with a higher value per acre weakened. As a result, we increased our sales of properties with a lower value per acre. Demand in regions with a higher value per acre has weakened due to the slowing U.S. economy, the decline in consumer confidence and the reduced availability of credit. The number of acres of higher and better use / recreational properties sold

32

during the second quarter of 2008 increased by 35% compared to the second quarter of 2007, due primarily to our long-term plan to expand the number of acres available for sale in many of our real estate markets. Revenue from our development properties declined due primarily to lower demand for these properties.

Real Estate Segment operating income was 61% of its second quarter revenues for 2008, compared to 66% for 2007. Real Estate Segment costs and expenses decreased by $2 million to $22 million in the second quarter of 2008 due primarily to selling fewer acres during 2008.

Manufactured Products Segment. Revenues decreased by $8 million, or 6%, to $121 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 due primarily to lower lumber sales volumes ($5 million), lower lumber prices ($4 million) and lower MDF sales volumes ($3 million), offset in part by higher MDF prices ($5 million).

Lumber prices were 8% lower during the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same quarter of 2007. The demand for lumber has declined due primarily to significantly lower housing starts. U.S. housing starts during the second quarter of 2008 were 30% lower compared to the second quarter of 2007. In response to the decline in housing starts, North American lumber production has also been declining. The supply of lumber decreased by 20% during the first three months of 2008 compared to the same period in the previous year. Despite the decline in lumber production, there still remains an ample supply of lumber at current demand levels. Lumber sales volume declined 13% during the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 due primarily to curtailed production as a result of depressed lumber prices.

MDF prices during the second quarter of 2008 were 13% higher than during the same period in the prior year due primarily to higher raw material costs. Due to supply conditions, customers were generally willing to pay higher prices to compensate manufacturers for the higher cost of raw materials. MDF sales volume decreased by 4% during the second quarter due primarily to weak demand for MDF products used in home construction.

Manufactured Products Segment operating loss was $11 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to operating income of $2 million for the second quarter of 2007. This decrease in operating performance was due primarily to a $10 million lumber manufacturing assets impairment charge and weak lumber prices. During the second quarter of 2008, the company recorded an impairment charge related to certain of its lumber manufacturing assets due primarily to continued weak lumber prices and the expectation that housing starts, and therefore lumber prices, will not significantly improve in the near term. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc.

Manufactured Products Segment costs and expenses increased by $5 million, or 4%, to $132 million for the second quarter of 2008. This increase was due primarily to the $10 million lumber manufacturing assets impairment charge and higher MDF raw material costs, offset in part by lower lumber and MDF sales volume. MDF raw materials costs increased by $5 million due to higher wood chip costs (caused by a regional shortage from lower lumber production) and higher resin costs.

Other Costs and Eliminations. Other costs and eliminations (which consists of corporate overhead and intercompany profit elimination) decreased operating income by $16 million during the second quarter of 2008 and by $14 million during the second quarter of 2007. The increase of $2 million was due primarily to higher share-based compensation expense and increased costs associated with strategic business development.

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense (net of interest income) was $34 million for the second quarter of 2008 and $35 million for the second quarter of 2007. The small decrease in interest expense was due to lower interest rates on our variable rate debt ($4 million), partially offset by higher interest expense due to additional borrowings ($3 million). During 2007, a combination of cash and debt financing was used to fund $174 million of timberland acquisitions and repurchase $202 million, or approximately 5.1 million shares, of common stock. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2008 a combination of cash and debt financing was used to repurchase $51 million, or approximately 1.3 million shares, of common stock.

33

Benefit for Income Taxes. The benefit for income taxes was $8 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to a provision for income taxes of $1 million for the second quarter of 2007. The net decrease in tax expense of $9 million is due primarily to losses in our manufacturing business (resulting in a tax benefit of $5 million) and a tax audit settlement (resulting in a tax benefit of $2 million). The losses in our manufacturing business include a $10 million lumber manufacturing assets impairment charge in the second quarter of 2008.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2007

Northern Resources Segment. Revenues decreased by $10 million, or 6%, to $168 million in the first half of 2008. This decrease was due primarily to lower sawlog prices ($9 million) and lower harvest volumes ($8 million), partially offset by higher pulpwood prices ($4 million). Sawlog prices were 8% lower in the first half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2007 due primarily to mill curtailments as a result of weak lumber prices caused by the significant decline in housing starts. Pulpwood prices were 9% higher in the first half of 2008 due primarily to strong demand for wood fiber from pulp and paper companies and a reduced supply of woodchips as a result of lumber and plywood mill curtailments.

Harvest volume decreased by 4% compared to the first half of 2007 due primarily to a temporary increase in harvest levels during 2007 to take advantage of favorable pulpwood prices. Harvest levels for all of 2008 are expected to range between 5.6 and 6.0 million tons compared to 6.2 million tons harvested in 2007.

Northern Resources Segment operating income was 13% of its revenues for the first half of 2008 and 19% for the first half of 2007. This decrease was due primarily to lower sawlog prices and higher hauling rates. Segment costs and expenses increased by $2 million, or 1%, to $147 million. This increase was due primarily to higher log and haul costs. On a per ton basis, logging and hauling costs increased 5% ($5 million) due primarily to higher fuel costs.

Southern Resources Segment. Revenues decreased by $3 million, or 1%, to $250 million in the first half of 2008. This decrease was due primarily to lower sawlog prices ($10 million) and a lower margin mix of log sales ($7 million), partially offset by higher pulpwood prices ($10 million) and higher pulpwood harvest volumes ($3 million).

Sawlog prices on a stumpage basis were 13% lower in the first half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2007 due primarily to a combination of weak demand and higher hauling costs. On a delivered basis, sawlog prices decreased by 7%. The demand for sawlogs has declined due primarily to mill curtailments as a result of weak lumber prices caused by the significant decline in housing starts. Pulpwood prices on a stumpage and delivered basis were 14% higher in the first half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2007

34

due primarily to the continued strong demand for wood fiber from pulp and paper companies and a reduced supply of woodchips as a result of lumber and plywood mill curtailments. As a result of the improved pulpwood prices and weak sawlog prices, we increased the percentage of pulpwood harvested and decreased the percentage of sawlogs harvested, which resulted in an overall lower margin mix from log sales. Harvest levels for all of 2008 are expected to approximate the 14.1 million tons harvested in 2007; however, we expect the percentage of pulpwood harvested to increase to 57% of the total tons harvested. We have accelerated the harvest of pulpwood to capture favorable prices and plan to defer the harvest of sawlogs until prices improve.

Southern Resources Segment operating income was 30% of its revenues for the first half of 2008 and 34% for the first half of 2007. This decrease was due primarily to lower sawlog prices, a lower margin mix from log sales and higher hauling rates. Segment costs and expenses increased by $10 million, or 6%, to $176 million. This increase was due primarily to higher logging and hauling costs. On a per ton basis, logging and hauling costs increased 8% ($8 million) due primarily to higher fuel costs.

Revenues decreased by $1 million, or 1%, to $109 million in the first half of 2008. Although total revenues were flat, our revenues increased from the growth in the number of acres sold of higher and better use / recreational properties ($35 million), offset by lower prices from higher and better use / recreational properties ($15 million), a reduction in revenue from conservation sales ($9 million), and decreased revenue from sales of development properties ($7 million). The number of acres of higher and better use / recreational properties sold during the first half of 2008 increased by 80% compared to the first half of 2007 due primarily to our long-term plan to expand the number of acres available for sale in many of our real estate markets. Our average sale price per acre for higher and better use / recreational properties decreased by 20% due primarily to sales mix. During 2008, demand for properties with a higher value per acre weakened. As a result, we increased our sales of properties with a lower value per acre. Demand in regions with a higher value per acre has weakened due to the slowing U.S. economy, the decline in consumer confidence and the reduced availability of credit. Revenue from our development properties declined due primarily to lower demand for these properties.

Additionally, the timing of real estate sales is a function of many factors, including the general state of the economy, demand in local real estate markets, the ability to obtain entitlements, the number of properties listed for sale, the seasonal nature of sales (particularly in the northern states), the plans of adjacent landowners, our expectation of future price appreciation, the timing of harvesting activities, and the availability of government and not-for-profit funding. Also, in any period the sales average will vary based on the location and physical characteristics of the parcels sold.

We expect revenues from real estate sales during 2008 to range between $320 million and $340 million of which between $10 million and $15 million is from development properties. We estimate selling between 150,000 and 180,000 acres. In addition, from time to time, we may sell large blocks of other timberlands to maximize value. These estimates do not include any amounts for the transactions discussed in “Recent Events” above.

Real Estate Segment operating income was 62% of its revenues for the first six months of 2008 and 2007. Real Estate Segment costs and expenses decreased by $1 million to $41 million for the first six months of 2008. Costs associated with our development business for the first six months of 2008 were $6 million compared to $8 million in 2007.

At June 30, 2008, we had 25 internal development properties, or approximately 7,800 acres entitled and an additional 12 properties, or approximately 10,000 acres, in the planning process. Listed below are a summary of our entitled or developed properties as of June 30, 2008:

At June 30, 2008, we had entered into two joint venture arrangements with land developers. The company estimates that approximately 130,000 acres will be developed through joint venture arrangements over the next 15 to 20 years. Listed below is a summary of our joint venture arrangements as of June 30, 2008 (dollars in millions):

Joint Venture Arrangements

Location (County, State)	Expected Year of Initial Closing(A)	Total Acres(B)	Phase(s)	Non-Contingent Purchase Price(C) (millions)	Expected Participation Timeline
St. Johns, Florida	2010	3,590	5	$15	until 2021
Berkeley, South Carolina(D)	2007	2,035	1	$  8	until 2013

(A) Year land is expected to be sold to the joint venture. This represents the year of initial transfer for projects with multiple phases.

(B) Actual development acreage will depend upon final approval(s).

(C) Total proceeds for all phases in connection with sale of land to joint ventures. Does not include contingent consideration associated with future lot sales.

(D) During the first quarter of 2007, the property was transferred to a joint venture arrangement in exchange for $2 million in cash and a $5.5 million note.

Manufactured Products Segment. Revenues decreased by $18 million, or 7%, to $226 million in the first half of 2008 due primarily to lower lumber sales volumes ($13 million), lower lumber prices ($7 million) and lower MDF sales volumes ($6 million), offset in part by higher MDF prices ($11 million).

Lumber prices were 7% lower during the first half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2007. The demand for lumber has declined due primarily to significantly lower housing starts. U.S. housing starts during the first half of 2008 were 30% lower compared to the first half of 2007. In response to the decline in housing starts, North American lumber production has also been declining. The supply of lumber decreased by 20% during the first three months of 2008 compared to the same period in the previous year. Despite the decline in lumber production, there still remains an ample supply of lumber at current demand levels. Lumber sales volume declined 20% during the first half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2007 due primarily to curtailed production as a result of depressed lumber prices.

MDF prices during the first half of 2008 were 17% higher than during the first half of the prior year due primarily to higher raw material costs. Due to supply conditions, customers were generally willing to pay higher prices to compensate manufacturers for the higher cost of raw materials. MDF sales volume decreased by 7% due primarily to weak demand for MDF products used in home construction.

Manufactured Products Segment operating loss was $20 million for the first half of 2008 compared to operating income of $1 million for the first half of 2007. This decrease in operating performance was due primarily to a $10 million lumber manufacturing assets impairment charge and weak lumber prices. During the second quarter of 2008, the company recorded an impairment charge related to certain of its lumber manufacturing assets due primarily to continued weak lumber prices and the expectation that housing starts, and therefore lumber prices, will not significantly improve in the near term. See Note 3 of the Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements of Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc.

Manufactured Products Segment costs and expenses increased by $3 million, or 1%, to $246 million for the first half of 2008. This increase was due primarily to the $10 million lumber manufacturing assets impairment charge and higher MDF raw material costs, offset in part by lower lumber and MDF sales volume. MDF raw materials costs increased by $9 million due to higher wood chip costs (caused by a regional shortage from lower lumber production) and higher resin costs.

Other Costs and Eliminations. Other costs and eliminations (which consists of corporate overhead and intercompany profit elimination) decreased operating income by $30 million during the first half of 2008 and by $29 million during the first half of 2007.

Other Operating Income (Expense), net. Other operating income (expense), net (which consists of gains and losses from miscellaneous asset sales, litigation settlements and other similar items) increased by $2 million to $3 million during the first half of 2008. The increase was due primarily to the one-time receipt of $3 million of contingent sales proceeds in the first quarter of 2008. The payment related to the 2004 sale of our interest in a joint venture to explore and develop coalbed methane gas on certain of our timberlands.

37

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense (net of interest income) was $70 million for the first half of 2008 compared to $71 million for the first half of 2007. The small decrease in interest expense was due to lower interest rates on our variable rate debt ($8 million), partially offset by higher interest expense due to additional borrowings ($7 million). During 2007, a combination of cash and debt financing was used to fund $174 million of timberland acquisitions and repurchase $202 million, or approximately 5.1 million shares, of common stock. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2008 a combination of cash and debt financing was used to repurchase $51 million, or approximately 1.3 million shares, of common stock.

Benefit for Income Taxes. The benefit for income taxes was $13 million for the first half of 2008 compared to a benefit for income taxes of $3 million for the first half of 2007. The increase in the tax benefit of $10 million is due to losses in our manufacturing business (resulting in a tax benefit of $8 million) and a tax audit settlement (resulting in a tax benefit of $2 million). The losses in our manufacturing business include a $10 million lumber manufacturing assets impairment charge in the first half of 2008.

38

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $115 million from $240 million at December 31, 2007 to $125 million at June 30, 2008. The following table summarizes total cash flows for operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30 (in millions):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2008			2007			Change
Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities	$	94		$	111		$	(17	)

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities		(179	)		(239	)		60
Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	(115	)	$	(166	)	$	51

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $94 million, compared to $111 million for the same period in 2007. This decrease of $17 million is due primarily to lower operating results from both of our Resources Segments ($25 million) and lower operating results, net of a non-cash impairment charge, from our Manufactured Products Segment ($11 million), offset in part by proceeds from gas exploration rights ($18 million). The lower operating results from our timber business is due primarily to weaker sawlog prices and higher fuel costs, and the weaker results from our manufacturing business is due primarily to weaker lumber prices. During the second quarter of 2008, we received proceeds of $18 million related to gas exploration rights we granted on approximately 100,000 acres. The $18 million proceeds will be amortized into revenue over the expected five-year exploration term.

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures were as follows for the six months ended June 30 (in millions):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2008		2007
Capital Expenditures (Excluding Timberland Acquisitions)	$	29	$	33
Expenditures for Real Estate Development		5		6
Total Capital Expenditures	$	34	$	39

Planned capital expenditures for 2008, excluding the acquisition of timberlands, are expected to range between $70 million and $80 million and include approximately $52 million for our timberlands, $6 million for real estate development investments, $9 million for our manufacturing facilities, and $9 million for investments in information technology, primarily for resources initiatives and data protection. The timberland expenditures are primarily for reforestation and other expenditures associated with the planting and growing of trees. Approximately 35% of planned capital expenditures in 2008 are discretionary, primarily expenditures for silviculture and land development. Other capital expenditures consist primarily of reforestation and projects at our manufacturing facilities to sustain operating activities and improve safety. Included within the planned capital expenditures for our manufacturing facilities for 2008 is approximately a $4 million investment to expand our bio-filter emissions control equipment at our MDF facilities to comply with stricter environmental standards that become effective October 1, 2008.

Debt Financing. The company has filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission under which Plum Creek Timber Company, Inc., from time to time, may offer and sell any combination of preferred stock, common stock, depositary shares, warrants and guarantees, and under which Plum Creek Timberlands, L.P., the company’s wholly-owned operating partnership, may from time to time, offer and sell debt securities. The shelf registration statement expires on April 25, 2009.

The company has a $750 million revolving line of credit agreement that matures in June 2011. As of June 30, 2008, the weighted-average interest rate for the borrowings on the line of credit was 3.09%. The interest rate on the line of credit is based on LIBOR plus 0.425%. This rate can range from LIBOR plus 0.27% to LIBOR plus 1.00% depending on our debt ratings. Subject to customary covenants, the line of credit allows for borrowings from time to time up to $750 million, including up to $100 million of standby letters of credit. Borrowings on the line of credit fluctuate daily based on cash needs. As of June 30, 2008, we had $369 million of borrowings and $13 million of standby letters of credit outstanding; $368 million remained available for borrowing under our line of credit. As of July 1, 2008, $117 million of the borrowings under our line of credit was repaid.

39

On March 28, 2008, the company entered into a $250 million term credit agreement that matures in June 2012. As of June 30, 2008, the interest rate for the $250 million term credit agreement was 3.48%. The interest rate on this term credit agreement is based on LIBOR plus 1.00%. This rate can range from LIBOR plus 0.5% to LIBOR plus 1.5% depending on our debt ratings. The $250 million term credit agreement is subject to covenants that are substantially the same as those of our revolving line of credit, and allows prepayment of the borrowings at any time prior to the maturity date without premium or penalty. The net proceeds of $250 million were used to reduce our borrowings on our line of credit.

The company’s borrowing agreements contain various restrictive covenants, including limitations on harvest levels, sales of assets, the incurrence of indebtedness and making restricted payments (such as payments of cash dividends or stock repurchases). The borrowing agreements limit our ability to make restricted payments based on available cash, which is generally our net income (excluding gains on the sale of capital assets) after adjusting for non-cash charges (such as depreciation and depletion), changes in various reserves, less capital expenditures and principal payments on indebtedness that are not financed. Additionally, the amount of available cash may be increased by the amount of proceeds from the sale of higher and better use properties and, under certain circumstances, by 50% of the amount of net proceeds from the sale of other assets. Furthermore, our line of credit and term credit agreements require that we maintain certain interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. The company was in compliance with all of our borrowing agreement covenants as of June 30, 2008.

The company’s financial policy is to maintain a balance sheet that provides the financial flexibility to pursue our strategic objectives. In order to maintain this financial flexibility, the company’s objective is to maintain its investment grade credit rating. This is reflected in our moderate use of debt, good access to credit markets and no material covenant restrictions in our debt agreements that would prevent us from prudently using debt capital.

Equity. On August 5, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the company to make a dividend payment of $0.42 per share, or approximately $72 million, which will be paid on August 29, 2008 to stockholders of record on August 15, 2008. Future dividends will be determined by our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, based on consideration of a number of factors including, but not limited to, our results of operations, cash flow and capital requirements, economic conditions, tax considerations, debt covenant restrictions that may impose limitations on the company’s ability to make cash payments, borrowing capacity, changes in the prices of and demand for Plum Creek’s products, and changes in our ability to sell timberlands at attractive prices. Other factors that our Board of Directors considers include the appropriate timing of timber harvests, acquisition and divestiture opportunities, stock repurchases, debt repayment and other means by which the company could deliver value to its stockholders.

Plum Creek’s Board of Directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program that may be increased from time to time at their discretion. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the company repurchased approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $51 million, or an average cost per share of $40.15. As of June 30, 2008, the company had $149 million remaining on its share repurchase authorization.

Future Cash Requirements. Cash required to meet our financial needs will be significant. We believe, however, that cash on hand and cash flows from continuing operations will be sufficient to fund planned capital expenditures and interest payments on our indebtedness for the next year. During the next twelve months, the company has approximately $150 million of scheduled long-term debt principal payment requirements. The company intends to refinance these principal payments with the use of a combination of short-term and long-term borrowings, depending on interest rate and market conditions. Management believes that the company’s credit ratings, asset base and historical financial performance will allow these refinancings to be completed at attractive interest rates. As discussed under “Recent Events,” if our Southern Resources Segment timberland transaction is consummated, we may use proceeds from this transaction to make certain of these principal payments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

The company has no off-balance sheet debt. For information on contractual obligations, see the table Contractual Obligations in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than the discussion below, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the normal course of business.

On March 28, 2008, the company entered into a $250 million term credit agreement at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.0%, resulting in a rate of 3.48% at June 30, 2008. The term credit agreement matures in June 2012.

41

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Approximately $1.6 billion of Plum Creek’s long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates, and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. The following table presents contractual principal cash flows based upon maturity dates of the company’s debt obligations and the related weighted-average contractual interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt (in millions):

	2008			2009			2010			2011			2012			Thereafter			Total		Fair Value(A)
June 30, 2008
Fixed Rate Debt
Principal Due(B)	$	100		$	200		$	59		$	424		$	4		$	791		$	1,578	$	1,575
Average Interest Rate(C)		6.9	%		6.8	%		6.7	%		6.6	%		6.2	%		6.0	%
Variable Rate Debt(D)		—			—			—		$	369		$	600			—		$	969	$	969
	2007			2008			2009			2010			2011			Thereafter			Total		Fair Value
June 30, 2007
Fixed Rate Debt
Principal Due(B)	$	25		$	147		$	200		$	59		$	423		$	796		$	1,650	$	1,676
Average Interest Rate(C)		6.9	%		6.9	%		6.8	%		6.7	%		6.6	%		6.0	%
Variable Rate Debt		—			—			—			—		$	345		$	350		$	695	$	695

(A) The fair value of the company’s publicly-traded debt (i.e., Senior Notes due 2015) is estimated using market indicators; the fair value of the remainder of the company’s debt is estimated using the same rates adjusted for the different maturities. The decrease in fair value of our fixed rate debt compared to June 30, 2007 was due primarily to the repayment of $25 million of senior and mortgage notes in 2007 and $47 million in 2008.

(B) Excludes unamortized discount of $8 million at both June 30, 2008 and 2007.

(C) Represents the average interest rate of total fixed rate debt outstanding at the end of the period.

(D) As of June 30, 2008, the weighted-average interest rate on the $369 million borrowings under our $750 million revolving line of credit was 3.09%. The interest rate on the line of credit is based on LIBOR plus 0.425%. This rate can range from LIBOR plus 0.27% to LIBOR plus 1.00% depending on our debt ratings. As of July 1, 2008, $117 million of the borrowings under our line of credit was repaid. As of June 30, 2008, the interest rate for the $350 million term credit agreement was 2.93%. The interest rate on the $350 million term credit agreement is based on LIBOR plus 0.45%. This rate can range from LIBOR plus 0.3% to LIBOR plus 1.15% depending on our debt ratings. As of June 30, 2008, the interest rate for the $250 million term credit agreement was 3.48%. The interest rate on the $250 million term credit agreement is based on LIBOR plus 1.00%. This rate can range from LIBOR plus 0.5% to LIBOR plus 1.5% depending on our debt ratings.
