Notes To Financial Statements Louisiana-Pacific Corporation and Subsidiaries 1. The interim period information included herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the management of L-P, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the respective interim periods. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year. It is suggested that these summary financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in L-P's 1993 Annual Financial Report to Stockholders. Interim financial statements are by necessity somewhat tentative; judgments are used to estimate quarterly amounts for items that are normally determinable only on an annual basis. 2. Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods (110,200,000 in 1994 and 109,670,000 in 1993). The effect of common stock equivalents is not material. The number of shares and per share data have been retroactively adjusted for stock splits. 3. The effective income tax rate is based on estimates of annual amounts of taxable income, foreign sales corporation income and other factors. These estimates are updated quarterly. 4. Determination of interim LIFO inventories requires estimates of year-end inventory quantities and costs. These estimates are revised quarterly and the estimated annual change in the LIFO inventory reserve is expensed over the remainder of the year. 5. The cumulative effects of accounting changes relate to the adoption of two Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements during the first quarter of 1993. Adoption of Statement No. 106 "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" resulted in a charge of $3.2 million or three cents per share, net of $1.9 million in income taxes. Adoption of Statement No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" resulted in a charge of $7.2 million or six cents per share. Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. Management's Discussion and Analysis Sales for the first quarter of 1994 were $698.0 million compared with $649.2 million in the first quarter of 1993. The registrant operates in two segments: building products and pulp, with building products being the most dominant segment by far. Building products sales in the first quarter of 1994 were $664.9 million versus $621.1 million in the first quarter of 1993. The increase in building products sales during the first quarter of 1994 is a result of improved lumber sales due to higher sales realizations, but lower volumes. Structural panel sales also improved with higher volumes, but lower sales realizations. Industrial panel and engineered wood products showed strong volume and sales realization improvements. As a result of these changes in sales volumes and realizations and increased costs, primarily log costs, building products operating profits were $166.5 million in the first quarter of 1994 compared to $176.3 million in the first quarter of 1993. In April 1994, sales of building products began to slow as a result of uncertainty about the effects of rising interest rates on demand for housing and construction. Sales for the pulp segment in the first quarter of 1994 were $33.1 million compared with $28.1 million in the first quarter of 1993. The increase was due primarily to better volumes and prices at the registrant's Chetwynd, B.C., Canada pulp mill. Pulp sales prices have fallen substantially due to weak demand and oversupply world-wide. As a result, the registrant has elected to take downtime at its pulp mills and will likely do so from time to time in the future until the market improves. During the first quarter of 1994, paper pulp prices improved slightly. As a result, operating losses from the pulp segment have improved to $10.0 million in the first quarter of 1994 compared to $17.1 million in the first quarter of 1993. Key segment information, production volumes, and industry product price trends are presented in the following tables labeled "Sales and Operating Profit by Major Group," "Operating Volume," and "Industry Product Price Trends." Income before cumulative effects of accounting changes for the first quarter of 1994 was $85.2 million, or $.77 per share, compared with $87.7 million, or $.80 per share, in the first quarter of 1993. During the first quarter of 1993, the registrant adopted two new accounting standards, which resulted in a net charge of $10.4 million or $.09 per share. Interest expense was $2.6 million in the first quarter of 1994 compared with $3.8 million in the first quarter of 1993 reflecting lower debt and lower interest rates. The strong earnings produced $113.4 million in cash from operating activities in the first quarter of 1994. However, increases in receivables and inventories caused a decrease compared with $171.5 million in the first quarter of 1993. In the first quarter of 1994, cash uses included plant and timber additions of $70.7 million, $51.4 million in loan repayments, $12.1 million in cash dividends, and $7.5 million in treasury stock purchases, which resulted in an $18.5 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $243.1 million at March 31, 1994 compared with $273.9 million at March 31, 1993. On May 3, 1994, the board of directors authorized an increase in the cash dividend paid on the registrant's common stock to an annualized rate of 50 cents per share from the previous rate of 44 cents per share. The timing and amount of future dividends will be determined at the discretion of the board of directors in light of prevailing conditions. The registrant continues to show very strong financial condition. Long-term debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 12.7 percent at March 31, 1994 compared with 15.5 percent at December 31, 1993.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. The following sets forth the current status of certain legal proceedings, all of which have been previously reported. The registrant has received a Notice of Violation issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency alleging air emissions violations at the registrant's Dungannon, Virginia, OSB plant. The registrant has also received a Notice of Violation issued by the state of Michigan alleging air emissions violations at the registrant's Newberry, Michigan, OSB plant. The potential costs to the registrant cannot be determined at this time, but are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the registrant. The registrant has been informed that it and one or more employees at its Olathe, Colorado, oriented strand board plant are the targets of a federal grand jury investigation concerning alleged tampering with emissions monitoring equipment and alteration of plant records. The registrant does not know when the investigation will be completed. The registrant began an internal investigation in the summer of 1992 and reported its initial findings of irregularities to governmental authorities in September, 1992. On September 9, 1992, the U.S. Department of Justice filed suit in the U.S. District Court in Anchorage, Alaska, against the registrant's wholly- owned subsidiary Ketchikan Pulp Company ("KPC") alleging that the pulp mill in Ketchikan, Alaska, operated by KPC violated the Clean Air Act and the terms of KPC's wastewater discharge permit. The plaintiff seeks to require KPC to correct the alleged violations and also seeks penalties in an unspecified amount. Settlement discussions are currently underway. The registrant has been informed that KPC and one or more employees at KPC's pulp mill are the targets of a federal grand jury investigation concerning wastewater discharges. No charges have been made and the registrant does not know when the investigation will be completed. The registrant understands that a federal grand jury is investigating possible violations in connection with the disposal by a contractor of a transformer containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) previously located at the registrant's former sawmill at Pendleton, Oregon. The registrant does not know whether it or any of its employees are targets of the investigation. On October 19, 1992, the State of Wisconsin filed a suit against the registrant in state court in Dane County Circuit Court alleging that the registrant's oriented strand board plant at Hayward, Wisconsin, is in violation of state and federal clean air laws. The plaintiff seeks to require the registrant to correct the alleged violations and also seeks penalties in an unspecified amount. A tentative settlement of $550,000 was reached in 1993 but has not been consummated due to continuing differences between the parties. Management of the registrant believes that the outcome of the above matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated business or financial condition or results of operations of the registrant. Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K. (a) The exhibits filed as part of this report or incorporated by reference herein are listed in the accompanying exhibit index. (b) Reports on Form 8-K. No reports on Form 8-K have been filed during the quarter for which this report is filed.
