Pope Resources, A Delaware Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"),
including its subsidiaries Ludlow Water Company and Gamble Village Water & Sewer
Company were organized in December, 1985 as a result of a spin-off by Pope &
Talbot, Inc. (P&T) of certain of its assets. The Partnership is a successor to
Pope & Talbot Development, Inc. and other P&T affiliates. P&T acquired its first
timberlands in the Puget Sound area in 1853. The Partnership also formed another
subsidary, Ludlow Bay Realty in 1993.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT SEGMENTS.
-------------------------------------
The Partnership's operations are classified into two segments: (I)
timberland resources, and (II) property development.
Segment financial information is presented in Note 9 to the Partnership's
Financial Statements included witht this report.
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
----------------------------------
The Partnership's largest segment, timberland resources, encompasses the
growing and harvesting of timber and leasing of the timberlands for mineral and
tower leases. The Partnership's other segment, property development, consists of
residential development and income properties. Residential development consists
of the sale of single-family homes, finished lots and undeveloped acreage.
Income properties consists of various commercial operations. All of the
Partnership's operations are conducted within a 50-mile radius of Seattle,
Washington. The following is a detailed description of each industry segment.
Timberland Resources. The Partnership's key asset is its tree farm of
approximately 76,000 acres. Its principal operations consist of the sale of logs
in export and domestic markets and sales of standing timber to buyers who log it
under the terms of purchase contracts. This segment produced 73%, 63% and 76% of
the Partnership's consolidated gross revenues in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
The dominant species on the tree farm is douglas fir. Douglas fir is a
softwood, which due to its long fiber strength, flexibility and other
characteristics is generally preferred over "hardwood" for construction lumber
and plywood. At December 31, 1995 the Partnership estimates the tree farm's
merchantable softwood timber inventory volume at approximately 486 million board
feet. This compares to inventory volumes of 474 and 486 at December 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively. Due to Washington State forest practice regulations that
provide for reduced clear-cut size, mandatory buffers, wildlife "leave tree"
rules, wetland requirements and other harvest restrictions, the Partnership
estimates that between 7 and 10% of the aforementioned volume is
non-harvestable. The merchantable timber volume is derived through the
Partnership's inventory system, which involves periodic statistical sampling of
the timber (cruising) with adjustments made for growth estimates and harvesting
information. In 1993, management retained a consulting firm to undertake a
detailed study of the Partnership's inventory and growth rates. Their report
confirmed the Partnership's inventory volume but concluded that the annual
2
3
sustained merchantable softwood cutting volume could be increased from
approximately 15 to 21 million feet a year.
The Partnership views the tree farm as a core holding and is managing it
accordingly. As such, the policy of the Partnership is to harvest annually the
aforementioned 21 million board feet and thereby operate on a sustained yield
basis. From year to year, there will be some variation from the sustained cut
target. For instance, if log markets are weak, the Partnership may decrease its
cut or, when log markets are strong, the cut may be higher. Additionally, over
the longer term management anticipates that population and economic pressures
will contribute to increasing portions of the tree farm being developed. To
offset a possible reduction in the size of the tree farm management is actively
pursuing acquisitions and trades that enhance tree farm ownership. In 1995 the
Partnership purchased approximately 1,300 acres with no merchantable timber for
$1,992,000, compared to 1994's purchases of approximately 1,100 acres with no
merchantable timber for $1,908,000.
The Partnership's harvesting schedules are based on data concerning
species, site index, classification of soils, estimates of timber inventory, and
the type, size and age classification of the timber. From this information, the
Partnership develops its annual and long-term harvesting plans predicated on
existing and anticipated economic conditions with a view toward maximizing the
long-term value of its timberland assets.
The Partnership sells timber in five ways: 1)log sales to Japanese buyers;
2)log sales to export brokers in Port Angeles, Tacoma and Everett (who, in turn
sell to Japanese and Korean buyers); 3)log sales to domestic sawmills;
4)stumpage sales of standing timber; and 5)sales of pulp logs and softwood chips
to a wood fiber market. Direct export sales to Japanese buyers in 1995 totaled
$8,935,000. This compares to 1994 and 1993 direct export sales to Japanese
buyers totaling $8,080,000 and $101,000, respectively.
There are many competitors of the Partnership, most of whom are comparable
in size or larger. The principal areas of competition in the timber business are
pricing and the ability to satisfy volume demands for various types and grades
of timber to the competing market. Management believes that its location, type
and grade of timber will enable it to effectively compete in its markets.
However, the Partnership's products are subject to increasing competition from a
variety of non-wood and engineered wood products as well as competition from
foreign sources.
The Partnership's timber operations require forest management which
primarily consists of reforestation, fertilization of timber, and the thinning
of timber stands. During 1995, the Partnership planted approximately 518,000
seedlings on 1,350 acres. This compares to 1994 and 1993 in which the
Partnership planted approximately 540,000 and 482,000 seedlings on 1,200 and
1,125 acres, respectively. Management's current policy is to remain current on
its reforestation whenever possible. Management is also reviewing its
fertilization program and is thinning timber stands as it considers appropriate.

4
A risk of forest fire exists with any timberland. Historically, the
Partnership has relied principally on state fire prevention programs for
firefighting services. Fire insurance for standing timber is rarely purchased
for North American timberland and would be prohibitively expensive. Consistent
with historical practice, the Partnership does not purchase such insurance
coverage.
In the operation and management of the tree farm, the Partnership is
subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations which govern land use.
Management believes it is in substantial compliance with such laws and
regulations. Management anticipates that increasingly strict laws and
regulations relating to the environment, natural resources, forestry operations,
health and safety matters, as well as increased social concern over
environmental issues, may result in additional restrictions on the operations of
the Partnership. This will in turn result in increased costs, additional capital
expenditures and reduced operating flexibility. Although the Partnership does
not consider current laws and regulations to be materially burdensome, there can
be no assurance that future legislative, governmental or judicial decisions will
not adversely affect the Partnership operations.
At December 31, 1995 timberland resources had no backlog of sales. This
compares to one unsold stumpage contract (backlog of sales) totaling $420,000 in
1994 and no unsold stumpage contracts at December 31, 1993.
The tree farming segment is a year-round activity of the Partnership and
presently employs seven full-time salaried employees. No employee is a member of
a labor union.
Property Development. Property development consists of residential
development and income properties. Residential development consists of the sale
of single-family homes, finished lots and undeveloped acreage. Income properties
consists of providing water and sewer services to properties in the Port Ludlow,
Washington area; a marina, golf course, commercial shopping center and RV park
operated by the Partnership; certain parcels leased to Pope & Talbot, Inc.; a
restaurant/lounge and related facilities leased to and operated by Village
Resorts, Inc. The golf, marina, resort and RV park business is seasonal, with
the peak season beginning in May and running through September of each year.
This segment produced 27%, 37% and 24% of the Partnership's consolidated
gross revenues in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The principal activity of residential development consists of building
residential dwellings and developing lots in Port Ludlow. This division's key
asset is approximately 2,000 acres of land located in Western Washington, of
which the focus for development is Port Ludlow. Port Ludlow is an active adult
community on approximately 1,000 acres.
Outside of Port Ludlow the Partnership has developed a 100 lot project in
Port Orchard (Grandridge). The Partnership is also in the planning and
entitlements stages for developments in Kingston, Gig Harbor and Bremerton, all
of which are located in the western Puget Sound region of Washington State.
Kingston is a residential development comprising 750 acres and consisting of 765
units. Kingston awaits entitlements and expansion of the local sewage treatment
facility. The Gig Harbor parcel is part of a larger land area with multiple
owners and is about to be annexed into the city of Gig Harbor, Washington.
Bremerton will likely be developed primarily as a residential/light-industrial
site.
The Partnership completed construction of a 36-room inn in 1994. The inn is
a joint venture with another developer with the Partnership owning a 50%
interest.

The Partnership's land sales activities are closely associated with the
management of its timber properties. After logging its timberlands, the
Partnership has the option of reforesting the land, developing it for sale as
improved property, or selling it in developed or undeveloped acreage tracts.
Management continually evaluates timber properties in terms of their best
economic use (i.e., whether to continue growing timber or reclassifying the
properties for sale or development). As the Partnership reclassifies timber
properties for sale or development, the Partnership may replace such timber
properties with land purchases in more remote areas. Although the Partnership
believes it has adequate land inventory for future development, additional
properties will be purchased as they become available.
The Partnership competes for property sales with other timber companies
which are as large or larger than the Partnership and have substantial acreage
for sale and development. Management believes location, price and terms of sale
enable the Partnership to compete effectively in these markets.
The property development segment's backlog of sales was approximately
$2,184,000 as of December 31, 1995, all of which are expected to be closed in
1996 and 1997. This compares to sales backlogs of $1,623,000 and $1,360,000 as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Property development presently employs 22 full-time salaried employees and
has in the past employed up to an additional 45 seasonal employees. No employee
is a member of a labor union.
Nonclassified assets and operations are composed of the Partnership's
administrative office.
The total number of employees not otherwise classified under a segment is
10, all of which are full-time salaried employees. No employee is a member of a
labor union.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
---------------------------------------------------------------
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's
consolidated financial statements included with this report.
Results of Operations
---------------------
Timberland Resources
- --------------------
During 1995 the Partnership logged and sold approximately 26.2 million
board feet of softwood timber at an average price of $848 per thousand board
feet (MBF). In addition, during 1995, the Partnership sold stumpage totaling 837
thousand board feet of softwood timber at an average price of $551 per MBF. For
the corresponding period in 1994, the Partnership logged and sold stumpage
totaling approximately 20.6 and .6 million board feet of softwood timber at
average prices of $783 and $565 per MBF, respectively. For the corresponding
period in 1993, Pope logged and sold stumpage totaling approximately 16.8 and
16.1 million board feet at average prices of $592 and $841 per MBF,
respectively. The increase in the average price logged per MBF is primarily
attributable to a higher percentage of export volume sold and higher export and
pulp prices in 1995 as compared to 1994 and 1993. The increase in timber sold in
1993 as compared to 1995 and 1994 is due to management increasing the 1993
harvest in order to repurchase units and repay acquisition debt with the aid of
record timber prices. 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
13.1, 9.5 and 4.1 million board feet of softwood timber for 1995, 1994 and 1993,
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 is
currently strong with prices still at high historical levels. Management
anticipates export prices to remain strong into the second quarter of 1996 then
to decline due to increased supply coupled with price resistance from log
buyers. A modest upturn at the end of 1996 is anticipated.
The Partnership's domestic demand for logs is directly affected by the
level of construction activity on the west coast of the United States. 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 1996 management
anticipates the domestic market to be similar to 1995. Management is concerned
about the declining number of sawmills in its region. As the number of sawmills
declines management must find additional outlets for its domestic timber.
Management does not believe the decline in domestic sawmills will materially
impact its 1996 operations but is nonetheless exploring additional outlets for
its domestic timber.

Property Development
- --------------------
Property development consists of residential development and income
properties. Residential development consists of the sale of single-family homes,
finished lots and undeveloped acreage. 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; certain Port
Gamble parcels leased to Pope & Talbot, Inc.; and a restaurant/lounge and
related facilities leased to and operated by Village Resorts, Inc. Revenues from
property development totaled $9,796,000, $11,425,000 and $8,175,000 for 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively.
Revenue from residential development totaled $5,726,000, $7,126,000 and
$4,178,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Partnership's largest
development is in Port Ludlow, Washington. During 1995 the Partnership's
development at Port Ludlow generated revenues of $4,163,000 on 26 finished lot
sales, 14 home sales and one bulk sale of 27 lots with preliminary lot approval.
This compares to 1994 sales at Port Ludlow of $4,850,000 on 30 lot sales and 14
home sales. In 1993, Port Ludlow generated revenues of $3,692,000 on 11 lot
sales and 22 home sales. Excluding the one bulk sale, 1995 lot and home sales
were similar to 1994. This was attributable to similar mixes of inventory
combined with similar real estate markets. The slower 1993 sales as compared to
1994 and 1995 was mostly attributable to the weakened economies of California
and the Pacific Northwest.
At December 31, 1995 the Partnership had in total 234 developed lots and 23
homes under various stages of completion. This compares to the prior year's 281
developed lots and 24 homes under various stages of completion. This inventory
consists of a wide variety of subdivisions, encompassing a broad spectrum of
prices.
Revenues from income properties totaled $4,070,000, $4,299,000 and
$3,997,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Operations were generally
consistent for each of the three years and management expects future revenues to
be stable.
General
- -------
Cost of sales for the Partnership can fluctuate widely due to the various
methods for selling timber and the basis of the land the Partnership sells.
General and administrative costs increased in 1995 as compared to 1994 and
1993. This was primarily attributable to three factors: increased property taxes
on the Partnership's land; increased road maintenance and silviculture expenses
related to timberland acquisitions; and increased costs related to the
Partnership's development in Port Ludlow.
Deferred profit on current year's contract sales as well as recognition of
prior years' deferred profit is affected by the timing and amount of cash
received on contract sales.
Interest expense has continued to decline from 1993 through 1995 due to
reductions in debt levels plus lower interest rates.
9
10
In 1995 interest income declined from amounts earned in 1994 and 1993. This
was attributable to a two-year decline in the contracts receivable balance
outstanding.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Management has budgeted spending $2.2 million on its real estate
development in 1996. In addition, management has budgeted spending an additional
$800,000 in capital expenditures for other operations in 1996. 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 December 31, 1995, the Partnership had available an unused $17 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 are stable. Management's current plan is to harvest 21
million board feet of softwood timber in 1996, which is in balance with its
sustainable yield capacity. 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 $16,900,000 in 1995, and
was primarily used for debt repayments of $7,663,000, a unitholder distribution
of $4,790,000 and capital and land expenditures of $3,890,000 in 1995. Land and
timber acquisitions totaled $2,911,000 in 1995 and are expected to continue to
be the most significant capital expenditures in 1996.
A cash distribution of $5.30 per unit was paid on December 29, 1995 to
unitholders of record on December 8, 1995. The aggregate distribution totaled
$4,790,000. In 1994 a cash distribution of $3.60 per unit was paid December 30,
1994 totaling $3,260,000. The practice of the Partnership has been to make
annual cash distributions only for the purpose of defraying the federal and
state 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.

POPE RESOURCES, A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
1. Summary of significant accounting policies:
General:
Pope Resources, A Delaware Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), is a
publicly-traded limited partnership engaged principally in tree farming
operations and property development in Western Washington. Tree farming
operations include the sale of logs, and the selling of standing timber
under cutting contracts or other arrangements. Property development
includes the sale of single-family homes, finished lots and undeveloped
acreage, and various commercial operations.
Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ludlow Water Company,
Ludlow Bay Realty and Gamble Village Water and Sewer Company.
Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Use of estimates in financial statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Work in progress:
Work in progress consists of direct development costs, including
capitalized interest, of residential lots and dwellings which are
completed or are expected to be substantially completed and available
for sale in the upcoming year and are recorded at the lower of cost or
net realizable value.
Contracts receivable:
The Partnership sells land parcels under contracts requiring a minimum
cash down payment of twenty percent and having financing terms of up to
eight years at interest rates of ten percent. The Partnership reduces
credit risk on contracts through collateral and down payment
requirements.
Principal payments on contracts receivable for the next five years are
due as follows:
(Thousands)
-----------
1996 $739
1997 356
1998 588
1999 270
2000 182
Unallocated amenities and project costs:
Unallocated amenities and project costs represent indirect development
costs for long-term real estate development projects. These costs are
expensed based on anticipated project sales of residential dwellings and
lots over the life of the project.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):
Properties and equipment:
Depreciation is provided using straight-line methods over the estimated
useful lives of the assets which range from five to 39 years. Depletion
of logging roads and costs of fee timber harvested are provided at rates
based on unrecovered costs and estimated recoverable volume of softwood
timber.
The carrying value of properties is reviewed periodically for
impairment. If the asset carrying amount is not recoverable, the asset
is considered to be impaired and the value is adjusted to estimated fair
value.
Revenue recognition:
Revenue on real estate sales is recorded on the date the sale closes.
The Partnership uses the installment method of accounting for real
estate sales transactions until 25% of the contract sales value has been
collected, at which point the full accrual method of accounting is used.
Income per partnership unit:
Income per partnership unit is computed using the weighted average
number of units outstanding during each year (903,913 units in 1995,
921,097 units in 1994, 987,653 in 1993). There were 903,894 and 905,594
units outstanding at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Statement of cash flows:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Partnership considers
all highly-liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents. During 1995 noncash
investing activities include a transfer of $287,000 of land to work in
progress. During 1994 noncash investing activities include a transfer of
$123,000 of work in progress to land and land improvements.
Reclassifications:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 financial
statements to conform with the current year's presentation.

Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
-----------------------------------------------
Peter T. Pope serves as a director of Pope MGP, Inc., managing general
partner of the Partnership. Mr. Pope also serves on the board of directors of
P&T. P&T did not purchase any timber sold by the Partnership during 1995,
however, since it could purchase timber in 1996, a conflict of interest could
arise.
The Partnership Agreement provides that it is a complete defense to any
challenge to an agreement or transaction between the Partnership and a general
partner, or related person, due to a conflict of interest if, after full
disclosure of the material facts as to the agreement or transaction and the
interest of the general partner or related person, (1) the transaction is
authorized, approved or ratified by a majority of the disinterested directors of
the managing general partner, Pope MGP, Inc., or (2) the transaction is
authorized by partners of record holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the
units held by all partners.
Richard E. Stroble is a managing director of MRGC. MRGC is 50% owned by
Merrill & Ring, Inc. Richard E. Stroble is a director of Merrill & Ring, Inc. In
addition, he is the President and CEO of Merrill & Ring, Inc. Because MRGC
purchased 17% of the timber sold by the Partnership during 1995, a conflict of
interest could have arisen when he was a director of the Partnership. During
this period Mr. Stroble disassociated himself from any day-to-day management
decisions between MRGC and the Partnership.
In addition, it is a complete defense to any challenge to such an agreement
or transaction based upon a conflict of interest if the agreement or transaction
was fair to the Partnership at the time it was authorized, approved or ratified
by the managing general partner, Pope MGP, Inc. Approval may be before or at the
time of the transaction, or at any later time.
