Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Deltic Timber Corporation (the “Company” or “Deltic”). Certain information and accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although management of the Company believes the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets, and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management believes the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals and adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to present fairly its financial position as of June 30, 2017, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. These consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

Recently Issued Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements and Guidance

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standard's Update ("ASU") 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This standards update simplified several aspects of the accounting for share-based payments award transactions, including accounting for income taxes, classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, forfeitures, minimum statutory tax withholding requirements, and the classification on the statement of cash flows of employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. As a result of the adoption, Deltic recognized approximately $500,000 of tax shortfalls from share-based compensation as a discrete item of income tax expense during the first quarter of 2017. Historically, these amounts were recorded as activity in additional paid-in capital. Deltic elected to apply the standards update pertaining to cash flows prospectively, therefore prior-year statements have not been adjusted. Deltic elected to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than using a requisite estimated forfeiture rate for future forfeitures. The additional changes related to the standard's update and the election to change accounting methods for forfeitures did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes". This standards update requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities be offset and presented as a single, non-current, amount. Historically, deferred tax items were presented on the Balance Sheet as current and non-current. The Company applied this standard's update prospectively, combining current deferred tax assets of $1,895,000 with non-current deferred tax liabilities, for a net long-term tax asset balance of $151,000 at January 1, 2017.

In March of 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-07, "Improvements to the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost," which requires the service cost components be reported separately from other components of net

periodic pension costs and be reported on the same line item as other compensation costs. This update is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and is not expected to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In May of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue it expects to be entitled to for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company continues to evaluate the standard and has not yet selected a transition method but believes the standard is expected to have little impact on its consolidated financial statements other than updated disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases”, which supersedes Topic 840 and among other things, requires lessees to recognize most leases on-balance sheet. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, and is not expected to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The ASU changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life. This update will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, and is not expected to have a material impact on its financial statements.

	$	358,339		360,183

Deltic had no acquisitions of timberland during the three or six months ended June 30, 2017. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, Deltic acquired 324 acres of timberland for $528,000, and for the six months ended June 30, 2016, Deltic acquired 403 acres of timberlands for cash payment of approximately $719,000. Deltic invests in and holds strategic fee timber as a productive asset, and any expenditure to acquire such timber and timberlands is an investing activity on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company actively upgrades its timberland portfolio by selling non-strategic timberlands and using the sales proceeds to purchase pine timberlands that are strategic to its operations. The Company identifies tracts of pine timberland that cannot be strategically managed due to size or location, and also tracts of hardwood bottomland that cannot be converted into pine-growing acreage, to be sold. As of June 30, 2017, approximately 1,500 acres of these lands were available for sale.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, was 38 and 45 percent, respectively. This compares to an effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 of 31 percent. The prior year effective rate was reduced by the lower capital gains tax rates applied on the sale of timber held 15 years or longer which expired December 31, 2016. The effective income tax rate exceeded statutory income tax rates during the first six months of 2017 due to discrete items related to the changes in the method of recognizing income tax benefits and shortfalls on the vesting of share-based compensation by the adoption of ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter. At June 30, 2017, there were no unrecognized tax benefits recorded on the balance sheet. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state examination by tax authorities for years before 2013.

Note 13 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurement Accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, with Level 1 being the highest quality and Level 3 being the lowest quality. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets on identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions about pricing by market participants.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Nonqualified employee savings plan – Consists of mutual funds, which are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the plan at the balance sheet date, at quoted market prices.

The fair value measurements for the Company’s financial liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2017, are presented in the following table

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

Executive Overview

The Company reported net income of $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $4.2 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease was mainly due to reduced operating income from the Manufacturing segment planned downtime for capital projects at the sawmills and unscheduled maintenance downtime at the medium density fiberboard ("MDF") plant. The Manufacturing segment reported $4 million in operating income, a decrease of $3 million from $7 million reported a year ago. Capital projects to complete the modernization of the large log line at the Ola sawmill as well as upgrades to the sawlog breakdown equipment at the Waldo mill were completed in the second quarter which led to higher costs and reduced operating rates for the quarter. Unscheduled maintenance was incurred at the MDF plant to make needed repairs to the press chains and a belt to allow the plant to reach its planned outage in August of this year to replace the press chains and a belt. The Woodlands segment reported $5 million in operating income for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $.6 million when compared to 2016. The Real Estate segment reported operating income of $1.8 million in the second quarters of both 2017 and 2016. Corporate segment operating expense was $.4 million lower in the current-year quarter than in the same period a year ago, primarily due to decreased general and administrative expenses. During the second quarter of 2017 the Company used cash from operations to repay $6 million in debt.

Deltic is a natural resources company operating in a commodity-based business environment that is engaged in the growing and harvesting of timber and the manufacture and marketing of lumber and MDF, with a major diversification in real estate development. The Company’s operating and financial results are affected by a number of factors, which include, but are not limited to, housing starts, general economic conditions, United States employment levels, interest rates, credit availability and associated costs, imports of lumber and MDF, foreign exchange rates, new and existing home inventories, residential and commercial real estate foreclosures, residential and commercial repair and remodeling, commercial construction, industry capacity and production levels, the availability of raw materials, natural gas pricing, and weather conditions. The expected impact from the import duties on Canadian lumber had limited effect on the lumber markets during the second quarter. Recent sawmill curtailments related to wildfires in British Columbia have produced uncertainties of lumber supply from that region and applied upward pressure to lumber pricing by the end of the quarter. Though mortgage interest rates have risen in the last six months, demand for new housing continues to be stronger than the supply; and housing starts and remodeling activity continued to increase when compared to the prior-year second quarter. The Company is currently developing residential lots in its Chenal Valley and Wildwood developments to provide a mix of price points available in residential lots for sale.

The Woodlands segment is the Company’s core operating segment, and its pine timberlands supply the majority of raw material logs to Company sawmills. In the second quarter of 2017, the pine sawtimber harvest was 201,168 tons, a decrease of 2,605 tons when compared to the 2016 second quarter harvest of 203,773 tons. The average sales price for the pine sawtimber harvested was $28 per ton in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $27 per ton in 2016. The chip-n-saw harvest was 11,435 tons compared to 9,504 tons harvested in the second quarter of 2016 while the per-ton average sales price was $1 lower at $16 per-ton. Completion of the small-log line at the Ola Mill allowed the company to better utilize the smaller chip-n-saw sized log for lumber production and increase the harvested volume. The pine pulpwood harvest in the current-year quarter was 122,720 tons, an increase of 29,096 tons from the harvest volume in the second quarter of 2016, and the average sales price for pine pulpwood was $8 per ton in the second quarter of both 2017 and 2016. The Company sold 20 acres of higher and better use timberland ("HBU") for $.3 million or $15,000 per acre in 2017's second quarter versus 9 acres sold for $4,400 per acre during the same period of 2016.

The Woodlands segment’s financial results include other ancillary benefits from land ownership, such as revenues from hunting leases, mineral lease rentals, and mineral royalties. Hunting lease revenue was $.8 million for the second quarter of both 2017 and 2016. Oil and gas royalty income, primarily from gas wells in the Fayetteville Shale Play, was $.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, a $.2 million increase from the second quarter of 2016, mainly due to increased natural gas prices, partially offset by the impact of declining production volume from the aging of existing gas wells and lack of new drilling activity. Deltic is currently receiving royalty income from 508 wells in the Fayetteville Shale Play; however, the Company’s income from

Table of Contents

mineral ownership in future periods is contingent on natural gas and crude oil prices, successful completion of producing wells drilled on Company lands, and leasing additional acreage.

The Manufacturing segment produces both dimension lumber and MDF. The capital projects at the Ola Mill completed in May resulted in five weeks of reduced operating rates while equipment installation was performed and the subsequent optimization period affected production for the remainder of the quarter. The Company’s sawmill operations sold 66.9 million board feet of lumber in the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of 3 million board feet from the prior-year second quarter. The average lumber sales price in the second quarter of 2017 was $388 per thousand board feet, a $17 per thousand board feet, or five percent, increase when compared to the same period in 2016. MDF sales volume was 26.1 million square feet for the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of 1.6 million square feet when compared to the same period in 2016. The average sales price for MDF in the current-year first quarter was $556 per thousand square feet, a decrease of $5 per thousand square feet from $561 per thousand square feet received in the 2016 second quarter. The worn press chains and a belt limited the ability to produce the higher-margin thin board during the second quarter, which led to a lower per unit sales price. Unscheduled maintenance was incurred at the MDF plant to make needed repairs to the press chains and a belt to allow the plant to reach its planned outage in August of this year to replace the press chains and a belt.

The Real Estate segment reported sales of four residential lots at an average sales price of $65,000 per lot during the second quarter of 2017, compared to 22 lots sold at an average sales price of $90,000 per lot in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in sales price is due to the mix of lots sold. The timing of residential lot sales is determined by the available lot inventory. A lot offering made during the second quarter was well received and all lots offered were put under contract for closure by the end of the third quarter. Lots in three neighborhoods are currently being developed to be offered for sale later in the year. In the second quarter of 2017 the Company sold an 7.9-acre commercial site for $392,000 per acre compared to 11 acres sold at $152,000 per acre in 2016. The commercial real estate acreage within Chenal Valley continues to receive interest from potential buyers; however, due to the unpredictable nature of commercial real estate sales activity, the Company cannot predict the timing of closing of any commercial real estate transaction.

Consolidated

Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $2.7 million, a decrease of $1.5 million from the second quarter of 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower financial results for the Manufacturing segment, partially offset by improved results from the Woodlands segment, lower Corporate general and administrative expense combined with lower interest expense.

Consolidated net sales decreased $1.4 million, or two percent, from the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to the following:


•	Woodlands segment sales increased $.7 million, due to increased harvest of pine pulpwood, the sale of 20 acres of HBU timberland, and higher oil and gas royalty revenue

Table of Contents


•	Manufacturing segment sales decreased $1.8 million, due to a six percent decrease in the volume of MDF sold and a loss on equipment disposed at the MDF plant


•	Real Estate segment net sales decreased $.3 million, due to fewer residential lot sales

Consolidated cost of sales decreased $.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to the following:


•	Real Estate segment cost of sales decreased $.6 million due to fewer residential lot sales


•	Manufacturing segment cost of sales increased $.5 million due to increased costs associated with capital improvements and maintenance downtime at the sawmills and the MDF plant

Consolidated operating income decreased $2 million due to the decreases in sales and cost of sales as explained as above, combined with an increase in depreciation expense.

The main cost drivers affecting the Company’s cost of sales and impacting each segment’s operating income and thus consolidated operating income are as follows: Woodlands – direct operating expenses (operating salaries and benefits, cull timber removal, line and road maintenance expenses, etc.), oil and gas royalty expenses, cost of hauling stumpage to other mills, and cost of timberland sold; Manufacturing – raw materials cost, direct manufacturing expenses (operating salaries and benefits, utilities, insurance, property and business interruption insurance deductibles, repairs and maintenance, etc.), and freight expense; and Real Estate – cost of residential lots, commercial acreage, and speculative homes sold and the cost of sales of Chenal Country Club.

In the Woodlands segment, net sales for the second quarter of 2017 increased 8 percent from the same period of 2016, primarily due to the following:

•Pine pulpwood volume sold increased 31 percent, with no change in average per ton

sales price

•Sold 20 acres of HBU timberland for $15,000 per acre compared to 9 acres sold at

$4,400 per acre in 2016

•Oil and gas royalty revenue increased $.2 million due to higher unit prices for

natural gas sold

Cost of sales for the Woodlands segment for the second quarter of 2017 decreased $.1 million compared to the same period a year ago, due to lower direct operating expenses.

The Woodlands segment's operating income increased $.6 million from the second quarter of 2016, due to the same factors affecting net sales, cost of sales, and an increase in general and administrative expenses.

¹Residual by-products are reported net of intercompany eliminations.

Net sales for the Manufacturing segment decreased $1.8 million from the prior-year period, primarily due to the following:

•Production was lower due to plant downtime at the sawmills and MDF plant

•MDF revenues decreased seven percent; sales volumes were six percent lower than

prior-year quarter and the average sales price per MDF sold decreased $5 per thousand square feet

•Lumber revenues remained constant as the four percent decrease in sales volume was

offset by a five percent increase in the average sales price per MBF sold

•Other operating revenues decreased $.5 million, primarily due to a loss on disposed

equipment at the MDF plant

Table of Contents

Cost of Sales for the Manufacturing segment increased $.9 million during the second quarter of 2017 when compared to the same quarter a year ago. For the reported cost of sales for sawmill and MDF operations, intersegment elimination of residual sales by sawmill operation to MDF operation are not reflected.


•	Sawmill direct manufacturing expense increased 23 percent due to the scheduled downtime for installation of the equipment to modernize the large log line at the Ola Mill and various upgrades of equipment at the Waldo Mill

•Direct manufacturing cost expense at the MDF plant were higher due to unplanned

downtime for plant maintenance on the worn press chains and a belt.

Operating income for the Manufacturing segment was $3 million less than in the same period a year ago, due to the same items affecting net sales and cost of sales, combined with a $.4 million increase in depreciation, mainly due to the small log line at the Ola sawmill being placed into service in December 2016.

Corporate

The Corporate operating expense in the second quarter of 2017 was 10 percent lower than in the second quarter of 2016 due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Eliminations

Intersegment sales of timber from Deltic’s Woodlands to the Manufacturing segment remained at $5.7 million during the second quarter of 2017. Logs supplied by the Woodlands segment to Company sawmills are transferred at prices that approximate market.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2017 decreased $.2 million when compared to the same period of 2016, due to a lower weighted-average interest rate on the debt outstanding.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 38 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and 31 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in the current-year income tax rate is primarily due to the expiration of the favorable capital gains rates in effect for timber harvested in 2016.

Consolidated

Consolidated net income for the first six months of 2017 was $3.8 million, a decrease of $.8 million when compared to the first six months of 2016. The decrease was primarily due to decreased operating revenue from the Manufacturing segment, partially offset by lower interest expense on the Company's borrowings.

Consolidated net sales increased $1.2 million, from the first six months of 2016, primarily due to the following:

•Woodlands segment sales increased 6 percent primarily due to increased revenues from

pine sawtimber harvest, timberland sales and oil and gas royalties


•	Manufacturing segment sales increased $1.4 million, due to a $26 increase in the average sales price per MBF sold, partially offset by lower MDF sales and a loss on disposed equipment at the MDF plant


•	Real Estate segment net sales decreased $1.2 million, due to fewer sales of residential lots partially offset by increased revenues from sales of commercial acreage

Table of Contents

Consolidated cost of sales increased $.6 million compared to the first six months of 2016, primarily due to the following:


•	Woodlands segment cost of sales increased $.6 million mainly due to higher direct operating expenses and oil and gas royalty severance tax expense


•	Manufacturing segment cost of sales increased $1.9 million primarily due to increased costs related to equipment upgrades and implementing plant modernizations at the sawmills, combined with unplanned maintenance costs at the MDF plant, partially offset by reduced raw material costs at the MDF plant


•	Real Estate segment cost of sales decreased $1.4 million mainly due to the sales of fewer residential lots

Consolidated operating income decreased $1.2 million due to the increases in cost of sales as explained as above, combined with higher depreciation expense, and partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses.

Corporate

The Corporate operating expense in the first six months of 2017 was $.6 million lower than in the first six months of 2016 due to decreased general and administrative expense.

Eliminations

Intersegment sales of timber from Deltic’s Woodlands to the Manufacturing segment increased $.1 million to $11.7 million for the first six months of 2017. The increase was mainly due to a small increase in the volume of the timber transferred to the sawmills. Logs supplied by the Woodlands segment to Company sawmills are transferred at prices that approximate market.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the first six months of 2017 decreased $1.3 million due to a lower weighted-average interest rate when compared to the same period of 2016, and to an increase of $.4 million in patronage refunds received in 2017 compared to 2016.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 45 percent for the first six months of 2017, versus 31 percent for the first six months of 2016. The increase in the current-year income tax rate is primarily due to the expiration of the favorable capital gains rates on timber harvested in 2016 and changes in reporting the discrete tax effects of equity-based compensation that increased the effective income tax rate seven percent as the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017. (For additional information regarding income taxes, refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.)

Table of Contents

Liquidity

The primary sources of the Company’s liquidity are internally generated funds, access to outside financing, and working capital. The Company’s current strategy for growth continues to emphasize its timberland acquisition program, in addition to expanding lumber production as market conditions allow and developing residential and/or commercial properties at Chenal Valley, Wildwood Place, and Red Oak Ridge.

To facilitate these growth plans, the Company has an agreement with a group of banks, which provides an unsecured and committed revolving credit facility totaling $430 million, and includes an option to request an increase in the amount of aggregate revolving commitments by $50 million. On July 29, 2016 the Company utilized a portion of the $50 million letter of credit component available under its revolving credit facility to replace the letter of credit that supports the Union County, Arkansas Taxable Industrial Revenue Bonds that total $29 million. As of June 30, 2017, there was $142 million outstanding in combined borrowings and letters of credit against the credit facility, leaving $288 million available. The credit agreement contains restrictive covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of debt and requirements to maintain certain financial ratios. (For additional information about the Company’s current financing arrangements, refer to Notes 8 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2016 annual report on Form 10-K.)

The table below sets forth the covenants in the credit facility and senior notes payable and status with respect to these covenants as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.



	Covenants Requirements	Actual Ratios at June 30, 2017	Actual Ratios at Dec. 31, 2016
Leverage ratio should be less than:¹	.65 to 1	.489 to 1	.490 to 1
Total outstanding debt as a percentage of total debt allowed based on the minimum timber market value covenant:²	— ²	77.25%	79.59%

^1.

The leverage ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total capital. Total debt includes indebtedness for borrowed money, secured liabilities, obligations in respect of letters of credit, and guarantees. Total capital is the sum of total debt and net worth. Net worth is calculated as total assets minus total liabilities, as reflected on the balance sheet. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter.


^2.	Timber market value must be greater than 175 percent of total debt (as defined in (1) above.) The timber market value is calculated by multiplying the average price received for sales of timber for the preceding four quarters by the current quarter’s ending inventory of timber. This covenant is applied at the end of the quarter on a rolling four-quarter basis.

Based on management’s current operating projections, the Company believes it will remain in compliance with the debt covenants and have sufficient liquidity to finance operations and pay all obligations. However, depending on market conditions and the possibility of the return of economic deterioration, the Company could request amendments, or waivers for the covenants, or obtain refinancing in future periods. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain amendments or waivers, or negotiate agreeable refinancing terms should it become needed.

In December 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $10 million of Deltic common stock. The Company’s Board of Directors expanded the program by $25 million in December 2007, by $25 million in December 2014, and by $20 million in February 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had expended $56.9 million under this program, with the purchase of 1,099,054 shares at an average cost of $51.78 per share, with no share purchases occurring during the first six months of 2017.

Table of Contents

In its two previous repurchase programs, Deltic purchased 479,601 shares at an average cost of $20.89 per share and 419,542 shares at a $24.68 per share average cost, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations, and Commitments

The Company has both funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit retirement plans that cover the majority of its employees. The plans provide defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary. Deltic also has other postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all of its employees. The health care plan is contributory with participants’ contributions adjusted as needed; the life insurance plan is noncontributory. With regard to all of the Company’s employee and retiree benefit plans, Deltic is unaware of any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the Company’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. (For information about material assumptions underlying the accounting for these plans and other components of the plans, refer to Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2016 annual report on Form 10-K.)

Outlook

Deltic’s management believes that cash provided from its operations and the remaining amount available under its credit facility will be sufficient to meet its expected cash needs and planned expenditures, including those of the Company’s continued timberland acquisition, real estate development, and share repurchase programs, and capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ

from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company has disclosed its critical accounting policies in its 2016 annual report on Form 10-K, and this disclosure should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q.

Impact of Recently Effective Accounting Pronouncements

(For information regarding the impact of recently effective accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.)

Outlook

Pine sawtimber harvest levels are expected to be 260,000 to 280,000 tons in the third quarter of 2017 and 765,000 to 790,000 tons for the year. Finished lumber sales volumes are estimated at 75 to 85 million board feet for the third quarter and 290 to 315 million board feet for the year. MDF sales volumes for the third quarter and year of 2017 are estimated to be 15 to 25 million square feet and 90 to 115 million square feet, respectively. Actual lumber and MDF sales volumes are subject to market conditions. MDF operating costs in the third quarter of 2017 are expected to be impacted by the scheduled downtime for replacement of the press belt and chains. Residential lot sales are projected to be 60 to 70 lots and 130 to 150 lots for the third quarter and the year, respectively. Even though commercial acreage in Chenal Valley has received interest from potential buyers, it is difficult to anticipate future closings due to the volatile nature of commercial real estate transactions and the significant number of factors related to any sale.

Certain statements contained in this report that are not historical in nature constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements reflect the Company’s current expectations and involve certain risks and uncertainties, including those disclosed elsewhere in this report. Therefore, actual results could differ materially from those included in such forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s market risk has not changed significantly from that set forth under the caption “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in Item 7A of Part II of its 2016 annual report on Form 10-K. Those disclosures should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Deltic Timber Corporation (the “Company” or “Deltic”) has established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify the Company’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered in this Report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 9A-Controls and Procedures in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2017.

Due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, we dedicated resources to perform additional procedures prior to filing this Periodic Report on Form 10-Q. These additional procedures have allowed us to conclude that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the steps taken to work towards the remediation of the material weakness discussed below, Deltic’s management, with the Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated all changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter, and have concluded that there was no change to Deltic’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect Deltic’s internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation Plan

We are committed to remediating the material weakness caused by ineffective controls over the cash disbursements process for certain expenditures that require payment on an expedited basis. During the first quarter of 2017, as the result of the misappropriation of assets and related control deficiencies described in Item 9A-Controls and Procedures in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company initiated comprehensive remediation efforts to ensure that the deficiencies that contributed to the material weakness are remediated. We have reviewed the design, implementation and operation of the controls and have made enhancements and identified new controls that were implemented as part of the remediation efforts. These efforts include establishing a segregation of duties between the initiation and authorization of cash disbursements for expenditures and enhancing documentation requirements around check authorizations.

We believe that such efforts, once fully implemented and operating for a sufficient period of time, will effectively remediate the reported material weakness. However, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively.
