Business Summary
Longview Fibre Company owns and operates tree farms in Oregon and Washington, which produce logs for sale, and operates a sawmill in Washington. Its pulp and paper mill at Longview, Washington produces pulp that is manufactured into craft paper and containerboard. The raw material fibers come primarily from purchased wood chips and sawdust (with important contributions from fiber reclaimed from post-consumer and post-industrial waste) and purchased bleach pulp. This supply is augmented by log chipping operations owned by the Company and others. The Company's 16 converting plants in 11 states produce shipping containers and merchandise bags.

Financial Summary
Longview Fibre operates in three business segments: Timber (owns and operates tree farms which produce logs for sale); Paper and Paperboard (owns a pulp and paper mill); and Converted Products (produces shipping containers and merchandise bags). For the six months ended 4/30/01, sales rose 3% to $433.6 million. Net income fell 29% to $12.5 million. Results reflect increased revenues from the sale of electric power generated at the mills, offset by lower gross margins.
