(a) Reclassified to include revenues from Temple-Inland Food Service Corporation
("Food Service") for 1996, 1995, 1994, and 1993. In the fourth quarter of
1997, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Food Service, a
subsidiary that manufactured and marketed paper products for the food
service industry. Related revenues were $66.3 million, $84.1 million, $80.9
million, $57.9 million, and $54.2 million for 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, and
1993, respectively.

(a) The annual capacity of the box plants is not given because such annual
capacity is a function of the product mix, customer requirements, and the
type of converting equipment installed and operating at each plant, each of
which varies from time to time. The rated annual capacity of Inland's
corrugating medium mills is approximately 615,000 tons per year, including
the 70,000 tons of capacity at the Newark, California, mill, which the
Company intends to close during the second quarter of 1998. The rated
annual capacity of the linerboard mills is approximately 2.2 million tons
per year.

(b) The annual capacity of the four paper machines in operation at the
paperboard and pulp mill is approximately 690,000 tons, which excludes the
capacity of a cylinder machine at the mill that the Company decided to shut
down late in 1993 due to market conditions for the grade it produced. Such
capacity may vary to some degree, depending on product mix.

(c) The annual capacity for the particleboard plants includes the rated annual
capacity of the Hope, Arkansas, plant, which began operations late in 1995
but did not reach full production until the fourth quarter of 1996. The
capacity figures for 1996 reflect the increase at the Monroeville, Alabama,
plant that resulted from a renovation of this facility during 1996. The
1997 figures reflect an increase at the Diboll, Texas, and Thomson,
Georgia, plants due to similar renovations during 1997.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS:

The business of the Company is divided among three groups: (1) the Paper
Group, which consists of the corrugated packaging and bleached paperboard
operations, (2) the Building Products Group, and (3) the Financial Services
Group. In the year ended January 3, 1998, the Paper Group, Building Products
Group, and Financial Services Group provided 57 percent, 17 percent, and 26
percent, respectively, of the total consolidated net revenues of the Company.

Paper Group. This group is composed of two operations: corrugated packaging
and bleached paperboard.

(i) Corrugated Packaging. The corrugated packaging operation of the Company
manufactures containerboard that it converts into a complete line of corrugated
packaging and point-of-purchase displays. Approximately 84 percent of the
containerboard produced by Inland in 1997 was converted into corrugated
containers at its box plants. The Company's nationwide network of box plants
produces a wide range of

4
6

products from commodity brown boxes to intricate die cut containers that can be
printed with multi-color graphics. Even though the corrugated box business is
characterized by commodity pricing, each order for each customer is a custom
order. Inland's corrugated boxes are sold to a variety of customers in the food,
paper, glass containers, chemical, appliance, and plastics industries, among
others. As of January 3, 1998, about 47 percent of the Company's box shipments
were sold directly for use in the food industry, including beverage containers.

The Company also manufactures litho-laminate corrugated packaging and high
graphics folding cartons. Other products manufactured by the Company include
bulk containers constructed of multi-wall corrugated board for extra strength,
which are used for bulk shipments of various materials, paper sealing tape, and
other tape specialties.

In the corrugated packaging operation, the Company services about 6,800
customers with approximately 11,000 shipping destinations. The largest single
customer accounted for approximately four percent and the 10 largest customers
accounted for approximately 26 percent of the 1997 corrugated packaging
revenues. Costs of freight and customer service requirements necessitate the
location of box plants relatively close to customers. Each plant tends to
service a market within a 150-mile radius of the plant.

Sales of corrugated shipping containers closely track changing population
patterns and other demographics. Historically, there has been a correlation
between the demand for containers and containerboard and real growth in the
United States gross domestic product, particularly the non-durable goods
segment.

(ii) Bleached Paperboard. The bleached paperboard operation of the Company
produces various grades and weights of coated and uncoated bleached paperboard,
bleached linerboard, and bleached bristols. These materials are used by other
paper companies and by manufacturers that buy paper in roll lots and convert it
into such items as paper cups, plates, file folders, folding cartons, paperback
book covers, and various other packaging and convenience products.

Bleached paperboard products are sold to a large number of customers. Sales
to the largest customer of this operation, with whom the Company has a
long-standing relationship, accounted for approximately 12 percent of bleached
paperboard sales in 1997. This level of sales is consistent with sales to this
customer over the past several years. Although the loss of this customer could
have a material adverse effect on this operation, it would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company taken as a whole . This customer is also a
customer of the corrugated packaging operation, but sales to this customer
represent less than four percent of the total sales of the corrugated packaging
operation. The 10 largest customers accounted for approximately 57 percent of
bleached paperboard sales in 1997. During 1997, sales were made to customers in
43 states, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, as well as to independent distributors
through which this operation's products were exported to Asia, Japan, Central
America, and South America. Contracts specifying annual tonnage quantities are
maintained with several major customers.

Demand for bleached paperboard products generally correlates with real
growth in retail sales of non-durable packaged products in the United States, as
well as the level of fast food restaurant activity for food service grades,
including cup and plate. Demand is also affected by inventory levels maintained
by paperboard converters as well as a number of other factors, including changes
in industry production capacity and the strength of international markets.

Substantially all of the assets of Temple-Inland Food Service Corporation
("Food Service") were sold to a third party during 1997. Food Service was an
integrated paper converter formed by the Company to manufacture and market paper
containers and products primarily for the food service industry. Its products
included paper plates and bowls, clamshells, carrying trays and boxes, nested
food trays, fry cartons, and pails. These products were sold to the fast food
industry, retail consumer stores, and restaurants and cafeterias for use in food
service. The Company determined that Food Service was not a good strategic fit
and would be better served as part of an organization committed to those product
lines. The Company continues to manufacture bleached paperboard grades for
conversion to paper cups and plates by outside customers.

Building Products Group. The Building Products Group produces a wide
variety of building products, such as lumber, plywood, particleboard, gypsum
wallboard, hardboard siding, and fiberboard sheathing.

Sales of building products are concentrated in the southern United States.
No significant sales are generated under long-term contracts. Sales of most of
these products are made by account managers and representatives to distributors,
retailers, and O.E.M. (original equipment manufacturer) accounts. Almost 78
percent of particleboard sales are to commercial fabricators, such as
manufacturers of cabinets and furniture. The 10 largest customers accounted for
approximately 23 percent of the Building Products Group's 1997 sales.

The building products business is heavily dependent upon the level of
residential housing expenditures, including the repair and remodeling market.

During 1996, the Company completed an upgrade to its particleboard plant in
Monroeville, Alabama. Similar renovation projects were completed at the Diboll,
Texas, and Thomson, Georgia, particleboard plants during 1997.

The Building Products Group is a 50 percent owner in three joint ventures.
One of these joint ventures is currently scheduled to begin producing medium
density fiberboard in the second quarter of 1998 at a facility under
construction in Arkansas. Another of these joint ventures is expected to begin
producing cement fiberboard in the third quarter of 1998 at a plant under
construction in Texas. The third joint venture was the acquisition of an
existing facility for the production of gypsum wallboard and a related quarry.
This joint venture also began construction after year end of a wallboard plant
to be located in Tennessee, completion of which is anticipated by 2000.

Financial Services Group. The Financial Services Group operates a savings
bank and engages in mortgage banking, real estate development, and insurance
activities.

(i) Savings Bank. Guaranty is a federally-chartered stock savings bank
operated by the Company through its financial services subsidiaries. Guaranty
conducts its business in Texas through 110 banking centers located primarily in
the eastern third of Texas, including Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin.
Following the Company's acquisition of California Financial Holding Company
("CFHC") in the second quarter of 1997, Guaranty operates an additional 25
branches in the Central Valley of California. The primary activities of Guaranty
include attracting savings deposits from the general public, investing in loans
secured by mortgages on residential real estate, lending for the construction of
real estate projects, and providing a variety of loan products to consumers and
businesses.

Guaranty derives its income primarily from interest earned on real estate
mortgages, commercial and business loans, consumer loans, and investment
securities, as well as fees received in connection with loans and deposit
services. Its major expense is the interest it pays on consumer deposits and
other borrowings. The operations of Guaranty, like those of other savings
institutions, are significantly influenced by general economic conditions, by
the monetary, fiscal, and regulatory policies of the federal government, and by
the policies of financial institution regulatory authorities. Deposit flows and
costs of funds are influenced by interest rates on competing investments and
general market rates of interest. Lending activities are affected by the demand
for mortgage financing and for other types of loans as well as market
conditions. Guaranty primarily seeks assets with interest rates that adjust
periodically rather than assets with long-term fixed rates.

During the second quarter of 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of
CFHC, the parent corporation of Stockton Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Stockton")
headquartered in Stockton, California. CFHC stockholders received total
consideration of approximately $143.4 million, or $30 per share, consisting of a
combination of the common stock of the Company and cash. The operations of
Stockton were subsequently merged into Guaranty.

During 1996, Congress adopted legislation to recapitalize the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). This legislation imposed a one-time special
assessment on SAIF members equal to 65.7 basis points of insured deposits, or
approximately $44 million in the case of Guaranty. Under this legislation,
Guaranty will not currently be required to pay any deposit insurance premiums,
but will be required to pay

6
8

approximately 6.5 basis points on insured deposits to fund certain Financial
Corporation (FICO) bond obligations. Based on the current level of Guaranty's
deposits, this legislation has reduced assessments by approximately $10 million.

The House and Senate are also discussing additional legislative proposals,
including changes to tax laws, related to the thrift industry. At this time, the
Company is not able to predict if any of these proposals will be adopted or, if
adopted, the ultimate impact they might have on the Company.

In addition to other minimum capital standards, regulations of the Office
of Thrift Supervision of the Department of the Treasury (the "OTS") established
to ensure capital adequacy of savings institutions currently require savings
institutions to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital
to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to adjusted tangible assets.
Management believes that as of year end, Guaranty met all of its capital
adequacy requirements. In order to obtain the lowest level of FDIC insurance
premiums, Guaranty must meet a leverage capital ratio of at least 5 percent of
adjusted total assets. At year end, Guaranty had a leverage capital ratio of
5.48 percent of adjusted total assets. For additional information regarding
regulatory capital requirements, see Note M to Financial Services Group
Summarized Financial Statements on page 49 of the Company's 1997 Annual Report
to Shareholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Guaranty must meet or exceed certain regulatory requirements to continue
its current activities and to take certain deductions under the Internal Revenue
Code. At year end, Guaranty met or exceeded these regulatory requirements and
intends to continue meeting or exceeding these regulatory requirements.

(ii) Mortgage Banking. Temple-Inland Mortgage, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Guaranty, headquartered in Austin, Texas, originates, warehouses, and services
FHA, VA, and conventional mortgage loans primarily on single family residential
property. Temple-Inland Mortgage originates mortgage loans for sale into the
secondary market. It typically retains the servicing rights on these loans, but
periodically sells some portion of its servicing to third parties. During 1997,
Temple-Inland Mortgage expanded its operations in the Midwest by acquiring
Knutson Mortgage Corporation of Minneapolis, a full-service mortgage bank with a
loan servicing portfolio of approximately $6 billion. At year end, Temple-Inland
Mortgage was servicing $26.1 billion in mortgage loans, including loans serviced
for affiliates and approximately $1.6 billion in mortgages serviced for a third
party. Temple-Inland Mortgage produced $3.2 billion in mortgage loans during
1997 compared with $1.9 billion during 1996.

(iii) Real Estate Development and Income Properties. Subsidiaries of
Financial Services are involved in the development of 34 residential
subdivisions in Texas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia,
Missouri, Tennessee, and Utah. The real estate group of the Company also owns 18
commercial properties, including properties owned by joint ventures in which
subsidiaries of Financial Services are venture partners.

(iv) Insurance. Subsidiaries of Financial Services are engaged in the
brokerage of property, casualty, life, and group health insurance products. One
of these subsidiaries is an insurance agency that administers the marketing and
distribution of several mortgage-related personal life, accident, and health
insurance programs. This agency also acts as the risk management department of
the Company. An affiliate of the agency sells annuities through banks and
savings banks, including Guaranty.

(v) Statistical Disclosures. The following tables present various
statistical and financial information for the Financial Services Group.

management. These evaluations consider several factors, including without
limitation, past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the
portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay,
estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions.

RAW MATERIALS

The Company's main resource is timber, with approximately 2.2 million acres
of timberland located in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia. In 1997, wood
fiber required for the Company's paper and wood

13
15

products operations was produced from these lands and as a by-product of its
solid wood operations to the extent shown on the following chart:

WOOD FIBER REQUIREMENTS



PERCENTAGE
SUPPLIED
RAW MATERIALS INTERNALLY
------------- ----------

Sawtimber......................................... 58%
Pine Pulpwood..................................... 63%
Hardwood Pulpwood................................. 35%


The balance of the wood fiber required for these operations was purchased
from numerous landowners and other lumber companies. In an effort to provide an
alternative for a portion of its projected need for hardwood fiber, the Company
operates a eucalyptus plantation in Mexico. The Company expects to begin
receiving fiber from this project in approximately five years.

Linerboard and corrugating medium are the principal materials used by
Inland to make corrugated boxes. The mills at Rome, Georgia, and Orange, Texas,
are solely linerboard mills. The Ontario, California, and Maysville, Kentucky,
mills are traditionally linerboard mills, but can be used to manufacture
corrugating medium. The Newport, Indiana; Newark, California; and New
Johnsonville, Tennessee, mills are solely corrugating medium mills. The
principal raw material used by the Rome, Georgia, and Orange, Texas, mills is
virgin fiber. The Ontario, California; Newark, California; Newport, Indiana; and
Maysville, Kentucky, mills use only old corrugated containers ("OCC"). The mill
at New Johnsonville, Tennessee, uses a combination of virgin fiber and OCC. In
1997, OCC represented approximately 44% of the total fiber needs of the
Company's containerboard operations. The price of OCC may exhibit volatility due
to normal supply and demand fluctuations for the raw material and for the
finished product. OCC is purchased by the Company and its competitors on the
open market from numerous suppliers. Price fluctuations reflect the
competitiveness of these markets. The Company's historical grade patterns
produce more linerboard and less corrugating medium than is converted at the
Company's box plants. The deficit of corrugating medium is obtained through open
market purchases and/or trades and the excess linerboard is sold in the open
market.

Temple-Inland FPC obtains the gypsum for its wallboard operations from its
own quarry near Fletcher, Oklahoma, and from one outside source through a
long-term purchase contract. At its gypsum wallboard plant in West Memphis,
Arkansas, the Company also uses synthetic gypsum as a raw material. Synthetic
gypsum is a by-product of coal-burning electrical power plants. The joint
venture gypsum wallboard plant being built in Cumberland City, Tennessee, will
use only synthetic gypsum in its operations. The Company has entered into a
long-term supply agreement for synthetic gypsum produced at a TVA electrical
plant located adjacent to the joint venture plant. Synthetic gypsum acquired
pursuant to this agreement will supply all of the synthetic gypsum required by
the joint venture plant and a portion of the requirements for the West Memphis
plant.

In the opinion of management, the sources outlined above will be sufficient
to supply the Company's raw material needs for the foreseeable future.

ENERGY

Electricity and steam requirements at the Company's manufacturing
facilities are either supplied by a local utility or generated internally
through the use of a variety of fuels, including natural gas, fuel oil, coal,
wood bark, and in some instances, waste products resulting from the
manufacturing process. By utilizing these waste products and other wood
by-products as a biomass fuel to generate electricity and steam, the Company was
able to generate approximately 50 percent of its energy requirements at its
mills in Rome, Georgia; Evadale, Texas; and Orange, Texas, during 1997. The
Ontario, California, mill operates a cogeneration power plant that sells to an
electric utility excess electricity generated. In most cases where natural gas
or fuel oil is used as a fuel, the Company's facilities possess a dual capacity
enabling the use of either fuel as a source of energy.

14
16

The natural gas needed to run the Company's natural gas fueled power
boilers is acquired pursuant to multiple gas contracts that provide for the
purchase of gas on an interruptible basis at favorable rates.

EMPLOYEES

At January 3, 1998, the Company and its subsidiaries had approximately
15,000 employees. Approximately 4,900 of these employees are covered by
collective bargaining agreements. These agreements generally run for a term of
three to six years and have varying expiration dates. The following table
summarizes certain information about the collective bargaining agreements that
cover a significant number of employees:

The Company has additional collective bargaining agreements with the
employees of various of its other box plants, mills, and building products
plants. These agreements each cover a relatively small number of employees and
are negotiated on an individual basis at each such facility.

The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The operations conducted by the subsidiaries of the Company are subject to
federal, state, and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into
the environment and otherwise related to the protection of the environment.
Compliance with these provisions, primarily the Federal Clean Air Act, Clean
Water Act,

15
17

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 ("CERCLA"),
and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), has required the Company to
invest substantial funds to modify facilities to assure compliance with
applicable environmental regulations. Capital expenditures directly related to
environmental compliance totaled approximately $16 million during 1997. This
amount does not include capital expenditures for environmental control
facilities made as part of major mill modernizations and expansions or capital
expenditures made for another purpose that have an indirect benefit on
environmental compliance.

The Company is committed to protecting the health and welfare of its
employees, the public, and the environment and strives to maintain compliance
with all state and federal environmental regulations in a manner that is also
cost effective. In the construction of new facilities and the modernization of
existing facilities, the Company has used state of the art technology for its
air and water emissions. These forward-looking programs are intended to minimize
the impact that changing regulations have on capital expenditures for
environmental compliance.

Future expenditures for environmental control facilities will depend on new
laws and regulations and other changes in legal requirements and agency
interpretations thereof, as well as technological advances. The Company expects
the trend toward more stringent environmental regulation to continue for the
foreseeable future. The trend in interpretation and application of existing
regulations by regulatory authorities also appears to be toward increasing
stringency particularly under RCRA with respect to certain solid wastes
generated at kraft mills. Given these uncertainties, the Company currently
estimates that capital expenditures for environmental purposes during the period
1998 through 2000 will average approximately $15 million each year. The
estimated expenditures could be significantly higher if more stringent laws and
regulations are implemented.

On November 14, 1997, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA")
issued extensive regulations governing air and water emissions from the pulp and
paper industry (the "Cluster Rule"). According to the EPA, the technology
standards in the Cluster Rule will cut the industry's toxic air pollutant
emissions by almost 60 percent from current levels and virtually eliminate all
dioxin discharged from pulp, paper, and paperboard mills into rivers and other
surface waters. The rule also provides incentives for individual mills to adopt
technologies that will lead to further reductions in toxic pollutant discharges.
The EPA estimates that the industry will need to invest approximately $1.8
billion in capital expenditures and approximately $277 million per year in
operating expenditures to comply with the Cluster Rule. The initial compliance
period is three years from the date these regulations are published in the
Federal Register. The estimated expenditures of the Company that are disclosed
above do not include expenditures that may be needed to comply with the Cluster
Rule. Based upon its interpretation of the Cluster Rule as issued, the Company
currently estimates that compliance with the rule may require modifications at
several facilities. Some of these modifications can be included in modernization
projects that will provide economic benefits to the Company. The extent of such
benefits can increase these investments, but currently these expenditures are
not expected to exceed $110 million over the next three years.

RCRA establishes a regulatory program for the treatment, storage,
transportation, and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. Under RCRA,
subsidiaries of the Company have prepared hazardous waste closure plans to
address land disposal units containing hazardous wastes formerly managed at
various facilities. These closure plans are in various states of implementation,
with most sites simply awaiting state certification. The Company believes that
the costs associated with these plans will not have a material impact on the
earnings or competitive position of the Company.

In addition to these capital expenditures, the Company incurs significant
ongoing maintenance costs to maintain compliance with environmental regulation.
The Company, however, does not believe that these capital expenditures or
maintenance costs will have a material adverse effect on the earnings of the
Company. In addition, expenditures for environmental compliance should not have
a material impact on the competitive position of the Company, because other
companies are also subject to these regulations.

16

COMPETITION

All of the industries in which the Company operates are highly competitive.
The level of competition in a given product or market may be affected by the
strength of the dollar and other market factors including geographic location,
general economic conditions, and the operating efficiencies of competitors.
Factors influencing the Company's competitive position vary depending on the
characteristics of the products involved. The primary factors are product
quality and performance, price, service, and product innovation.

The corrugated packaging industry is highly competitive with almost 1,500
box plants in the United States. Box plants operated by Inland and its
subsidiaries accounted for approximately 8.3 percent of total industry shipments
during 1997. Although corrugated packaging is dominant in the national
distribution process, Inland's products also compete with various other
packaging materials, including products made of paper, plastics, wood, and
metals.

Bleached paperboard produced by the Paper Group has a variety of ultimate
uses and, therefore, serves diversified markets. The Company competes with
larger paper producers with greater resources.

In the building materials markets, the Building Products Group competes
with many companies that are substantially larger and have greater resources in
the manufacturing of commodity building materials.

Financial Services competes with commercial banks, savings and loan
associations, mortgage bankers, and other lenders in its mortgage banking and
consumer savings bank activities, and with real estate investment and management
companies in its development activities. Mortgage banking, real estate
development, and consumer savings banks are highly competitive businesses, and a
number of entities with which the Company competes have greater resources.

* Includes approximately 243,000 acres of leased land.

In the opinion of management, the Company's plants, mills, and
manufacturing facilities are suitable for their purpose and adequate for the
Company's business.

Through its subsidiaries, the Company owns certain of the office buildings
in which various of its corporate offices are headquartered. This includes
approximately 76,000 square feet of space in Diboll, Texas, approximately
130,000 square feet in Indianapolis, Indiana, and 270,000 square feet of office
space in Austin,

21

Texas. Construction is currently in progress for a 175,000 square foot addition
to the Company's office complex in Austin, Texas.

The Company also owns 381,000 mineral acres in Texas and Louisiana. Revenue
from lease and production activities on these acres totaled $10.8 million in
1997. Additionally, the Company owns 395,830 mineral acres in Alabama and
Georgia, which produced no lease or production revenue in 1997.

At year end 1997 property and equipment having a net book value of
approximately $48.4 million were subject to liens in connection with $71.6
million of debt.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

General:

During the year, the Company disclosed that a former employee of the
Company ("Employee") filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the Company on
August 4, 1995, which is currently pending in state district court in Angelina
County, Texas. Employee alleges that his employment was terminated for refusing
to participate in alleged illegal activity consisting of underpayment of the
Company's federal income taxes and filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") financial reports that were misleading because of
the understatement of income. Although the Company does not consider this
litigation to be material, the Company has publicly denied the allegations made
by Employee in response to media attention given to the litigation. The Company
remains confident that upon the ultimate trial of the issues raised, the
allegations will be found to have no merit or grounds whatsoever. As a result of
the allegations made by Employee, the Commission began a non-public
investigation into the allegations. The Company has provided information to the
Commission in response to a subpoena issued in this investigation and will
continue to cooperate with the Commission in resolving this matter.

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various other legal
proceedings that have arisen from time to time in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of the Company's management, such proceedings will not
be material to the business or financial condition of the Company and its
subsidiaries.

Environmental:

The facilities of the Company are periodically inspected by environmental
authorities, with whom the Company must file periodic reports on the discharge
of pollutants. Occasionally, one or more of these facilities have operated in
violation of applicable pollution control standards, which could subject the
facilities to fines or penalties in the future. Management believes that any
fines or penalties that may be imposed as a result of these violations will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's earnings or competitive
position. The Company, however, has noticed an increase in the number and dollar
amount of fines and penalties imposed by environmental authorities. No assurance
can be given, therefore, that any fines levied against the Company in the future
for any such violations will not be material.

Subsidiaries of the Company are involved in regulatory enforcement actions
concerning the management of solid wastes at various facilities. These
proceedings are representative of a trend the Company has observed toward more
stringent application of RCRA regulations to solid wastes generated at kraft
mills. In July 1993, a subsidiary's facility in Rome, Georgia, experienced a
significant upset in its wastewater treatment process. This upset caused the
Georgia environmental agency to order a temporary cessation of production. The
Company's subsidiary has resolved its potential liability to the State of
Georgia by paying a $100,000 monetary penalty and agreeing to perform certain
work, but remains exposed to potential claims of the U.S. EPA and private
citizens. Management believes, however, that these matters will not result in
liability to an extent that would have a material adverse effect on the business
or financial condition of the Company.

Under CERCLA, liability for the cleanup of a Superfund site may be imposed
on waste generators, site owners and operators, and others regardless of fault
or the legality of the original waste disposal activity. While joint and several
liability is authorized under CERCLA, as a practical matter, the cost of cleanup
is generally allocated among the many waste generators. Subsidiaries of the
Company are parties to numerous proceedings relating to the cleanup of hazardous
waste sites under CERCLA and similar state laws. The subsidiaries have

22
24

conducted investigations of the sites and in certain instances believe that
there is no basis for liability and have so informed the governmental entities.
The internal investigations of the remaining sites reveal that the portion of
the remediation costs for these sites to be allocated to the Company should be
relatively small and will have no material impact on the Company. There can be
no assurance that subsidiaries of the Company will not be named as potentially
responsible parties at additional Superfund sites in the future or that the
costs associated with the remediation of those sites would not be material.

All litigation has an element of uncertainty and the final outcome of any
legal proceeding cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. With these
limitations in mind, the Company presently believes that any ultimate liability
from the legal proceedings discussed herein would not have a material adverse
effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The Company did not submit any matter to a vote of its stockholders during
the fourth quarter of its last fiscal year.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information:

The information concerning market prices of the Company's Common Stock
required by this item is incorporated by reference from page 34 of the Company's
1997 Annual Report to Shareholders furnished to the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 14a-3(b).

Stockholders:

The Company's stock transfer records indicated that as of March 4, 1998,
there were approximately 7,240 holders of record of the Common Stock.

Dividend Policy:

On February 6, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend
on the Common Stock of $.32 per share payable on March 13, 1998, to stockholders
of record on February 27, 1998. During the first two quarters of 1995, the
Company paid a quarterly dividend of $.27 per share. The quarterly dividend was
increased to $.30 per share beginning with the dividend payable September 15,
1995, and was increased again to $.32 per share beginning with the dividend
payable September 13, 1996. The Board will review its dividend policy
periodically, and the declaration of dividends will necessarily depend upon
earnings and financial requirements of the Company and other factors within the
discretion of its Board of Directors.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

The information required by this item is incorporated by reference from
page 34 of the Company's 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders furnished to the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 14a-3(b).

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The information required by this item is incorporated by reference from
pages 25 through 33 of the Company's 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders
furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 14a-3(b).

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations that is incorporated by reference into this item and the Market Risk
Disclosures set forth in item 7A contain forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. The actual results achieved by Temple-Inland

23
25

may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that might cause such differences include general economic,
market, or business conditions; the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be
presented to and pursued by Temple-Inland and its subsidiaries; the availability
and price of raw materials used by Temple-Inland and its subsidiaries;
competitive actions by other companies; changes in laws or regulations; and
other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Temple-Inland and its
subsidiaries.

ITEM 7.A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk:

The Company is subject to interest rate risk from the utilization of
financial instruments such as term debt and other borrowings, as well as the
lending and deposit gathering activities of the Financial Services Group.
Historically, the exposure of income to interest rate risk has been maintained
at a relatively moderate level due to the high correlation between changes in
the rates earned on the group's adjustable rate assets (which comprise over 90%
of earning assets) and changes in the aggregate cost of the group's funding
sources. The Company has many options to mitigate the earnings impact of a
significant change in interest rates. Potential options include selling assets,
executing hedges, and modifying the maturity or repricing characteristics of
assets and/or liabilities.

The Company routinely utilizes a simulation model to measure the
sensitivity of income to movements in interest rates. The model incorporates the
maturity and repricing characteristics of interest rate sensitive assets and
liabilities, as well as assumptions regarding the impact of changing interest
rates on the prepayment rates of certain assets. The following table illustrates
the estimated impact on pre-tax income of immediate, parallel, and sustained
shifts in interest rates for the subsequent 12 month period:



CHANGE IN INCREASE/(DECREASE) IN
INTEREST RATES INCOME BEFORE TAXES
- -------------- ----------------------
(IN MILLIONS)

+2% $ 4
+1% $ 9
0 $ 0
-1% $(12)
-2% $(14)


Additionally, the fair value (estimated at $270 million as of the end of
1997) of the Financial Services Group's mortgage servicing rights is also
affected by changes in interest rates. The Company estimates that a one
percentage point decrease in interest rates from current levels would decrease
the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights by approximately $40 million.

Foreign Currency Risk:

The Company's exposure to foreign currency fluctuations on its financial
instruments is not material because most of these instruments are denominated in
U.S. dollars.

Commodity Price Risk:

The Company has no financial instruments subject to commodity price risks.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries required to be
included in this Item 8 are set forth in Item 14 of this Report.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
