MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)
September 30, 1995
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's
consolidated financial statements included with this report.
Results of Operations
Timberland Resources
During the first three quarters of 1995 the Partnership logged and sold
approximately 19.5 million board feet of softwood timber at an average price of
$806 per thousand board feet (MBF). In addition, during the first nine months of
1995, the Partnership sold stumpage totaling 837 thousand board feet of softwood
timber at an average price of $544 per MBF. For the corresponding period in
1994, the Partnership logged and sold approximately 14.8 million board feet of
softwood timber at an average price of $755 per MBF. The Partnership had no
stumpage sales in the first three quarters of 1994. The increase in the average
price of timber logged and sold per MBF is primarily attributable to a higher
percentage of export volume sold and higher export log prices received in the
first three quarters of 1995 as compared to 1994. The aforementioned average
price of timber sold reflects various mixes of timber grades and different types
of timber sales and is, therefore, not necessarily indicative of the price of
timber to be sold in the future.
The Partnership sells its timber into two major markets, namely the export and
domestic markets. Direct and indirect log sales to the export market totaled 53%
and 35% of total timber revenues for the nine month periods ending September 30,
1995 and 1994, respectively.
The export demand for logs is directly affected by the demand from Asian
countries. As nearly all of the Partnership's export logs are sold to Japan, the
strength of the Japanese economy and the relative strength of the United States
dollar directly affect the demand for export logs. The export market softened in
the third quarter of 1995 but prices are still at high historical levels. While
the market price of logs can change significantly for a variety of reasons,
management anticipates export prices to increase in the fourth quarter of 1995
due to increased demand.
The domestic demand for logs is directly affected by the level of construction
activity. Changes in general economic and demographic factors have historically
caused fluctuations in housing starts. This in turn affects demand for lumber
and commodity wood prices which drives the demand for logs. For the balance of
1995 management anticipates continued uncertainty regarding the demand for
domestic logs due to fluctuating interest rates and a slower economy. Management
is also concerned about the declining number of domestic sawmills in its region.
As the number of sawmills declines, management must find replacement outlets for
its domestic timber. Management does not believe the decline in domestic
sawmills will materially impact its 1995 operations but is nonetheless exploring
additional outlets for its domestic timber.

Property Development
Property development consists of residential development, land marketing and
income properties. Residential development consists of the sale of single-family
homes and finished lots. Land marketing is comprised of the development and sale
of both cut-over timberland and land purchased for resale. Income properties
consists of providing water and sewer services to properties in the Port Ludlow
area; a marina, golf course, commercial center and RV park operated by the
Partnership; the Port Gamble townsite and log dumps, which are leased to Pope &
Talbot, Inc.; and a restaurant/lounge and related facilities leased to and
operated by Village Resorts, Inc.
During the first three quarters of 1995 the Partnership's residential
development at Port Ludlow generated revenues of $2,799,000 on 19 finished lot
sales, 7 home sales and one bulk sale of 27 lots with preliminary lot approval.
This compares to the prior year's first three quarters sales at Port Ludlow of
$2,646,000 on 20 finished lot sales and 8 home sales. As in the prior year,
sales activity continues to be disappointing due to the slow real estate market
in the area.
For the first nine months of 1995 the Partnership's residential development at
Grandridge produced revenues of $510,000 on 16 lot sales. For the corresponding
period in 1994, the Partnership generated revenues of $288,000 on 9 lot sales.
While the 1995 sales were higher than 1994, they were much slower than
anticipated due to regulatory interference and the loss of one of the two home
builders.
At September 30, 1995 the Partnership had 219 developed lots and 26 homes under
various stages of completion. This inventory consists of a wide variety of
subdivisions encompassing a broad spectrum of prices.
Land marketing sold 5 acres in the first three quarters of 1995 and generated
revenues of $257,000. This compares to sales of $1,247,000 in the corresponding
period for 1994 consisting of 40 acres. Average prices per acre totaled $7,900
and $31,200 for 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease in the average price
per acre sold is mainly due to sale of two commercial parcels of land in 1994.
The decrease in acres sold is mainly attributable to a lack of inventory for
sale. The Partnership has entitlements for 74 lots on 185 acres which should be
available for sale in the fourth quarter of 1995.
Income properties revenues totaled $3,244,000 and $3,296,000 for the periods
ending September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Operations were consistent for
the periods ending September 30, 1995 and 1994 and management expects future
revenues to be stable.
General
General and administrative costs increased in the first nine months of 1995 as
compared to 1994 due to three factors: increased property taxes on the
Partnership's land, increased road maintenance and silviculture expenses in
timberland resources due to timberland acquisitions, and increased costs related
to the Partnership's Ludlow Bay development in Port Ludlow.
Interest income declined from amounts earned at September 30, 1995 as compared
to 1994. This was attributable to the decline in contracts receivable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Funds generated internally through operations and externally through financing
will provide the required resources for the Partnership's real estate
development and capital expenditures. Management considers its capital resources
to be adequate for its real estate development plans, both in the near future
and on a long-term basis. At September 30, 1995, the Partnership had available
an unused $18 million loan commitment from a bank.
Management has considerable discretion to increase or decrease the level of
timber cut and thus drive net income and cash flow up or down assuming, of
course, timber prices and demand remain stable. Management's current plan is to
harvest 27 million board feet of softwood timber in 1995. Since harvest plans
are based on demand, price and cash needs, actual harvesting may vary subject to
management's on-going review.
Cash provided by operating activities generated $12,536,000 in the third quarter
of 1995, while overall cash and cash equivalents increased by only $368,000. The
cash generated was primarily used for repayments of long-term debt totaling
$8,739,000 and capital expenditures of $3,249,000.
The Partnership has not declared a cash distribution in 1995. All cash
distributions are at the discretion of the Partnership's managing general
partner, Pope MGP, Inc. The practice of the Partnership has been to make cash
distributions only for the purpose of defraying the estimated tax liability of
unitholders on their flow-through share of Partnership net income and as
approved from time to time by the managing general partner.
