MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)
March 31, 1996
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 quarter of 1996 the Partnership logged and sold approximately
7.1 million board feet of softwood logs at an average price of $825 per thousand
board feet (MBF). The Partnership had no stumpage sales in the first quarter of
1996. Stumpage sales are cutting contracts for the removal of trees off of a
specific tract for a limited period of time (e.g. 12 months). For the
corresponding period in 1995, the Partnership logged and sold approximately 6.1
million board feet of softwood logs at an average price of $743 per MBF. In
addition, during the first three months of 1995, the Partnership sold stumpage
totaling .8 MBF feet of softwood logs at an average price of $506 per MBF. The
increase in the average price per MBF is primarily attributable to a higher
percentage of export volume sold in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to
1995. The aforementioned average price of logs sold reflects various mixes of
log grades and different types of stumpage sales and is, therefore, not
necessarily indicative of the price of logs to be sold in the future.
The Partnership sells its logs and trees into two major markets, namely the
export and domestic markets. Direct and indirect softwood log sales to the
export market totaled 50% and 43% of total timber revenues for the three month
period ending March 31, 1996 and 1995, 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 into a log
market primarily going 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 remained strong in the first quarter of 1996 and
ended at a higher level than it began. Export prices have begun to soften
lately, but not to the degree that normally occurs at this time of year. While
the market price of logs can change significantly for a variety of reasons,
management anticipates export prices to continue to slowly decline in the second
and possibly third quarters of 1996 with prices then increasing for the balance
of 1996.
The domestic demand for logs is directly affected by the level of new home
construction and repair and remodel business 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 1996, management anticipates continued
uncertainty regarding the demand for domestic logs due to fluctuating interest
rates and a slower economy. Management is 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 logs. Management does
not believe the decline in domestic sawmills will materially impact its 1996
operations but is nonetheless exploring additional outlets for its domestic
logs.

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; commercial and
residential property rentals in Port Gamble; certain Port Gamble parcels leased
to Pope & Talbot, Inc.; a restaurant/lounge and related facilities leased to and
operated by Village Resorts, Inc.
Revenue from residential development totaled $1,108,000 and $1,029,000 for 1996
and 1995, respectively. The Partnership's largest development is in Port Ludlow,
Washington. During the first quarter of 1996 the Partnership's development at
Port Ludlow generated revenues of $776,000 on 1 finished lot sale and 3 home
sales. This compares to 1995 first quarter sales of $936,000 on 8 finished lot
sales, 2 home sales and one bulk sale of 27 lots with preliminary lot approval.
The decrease in lot sales is attributable to a lack of single family view lots
available for sale. The lack of this inventory was caused by permit delays
resulting from new Washington State growth management regulations and an
unseasonably wet winter. The Partnership is aggressively pursuing entitlements
to increase this inventory and hopes to have a much larger inventory ready for
sale by the fourth quarter of 1996.
At March 31, 1996 the Partnership had 201 developed lots and 22 homes under
various stages of completion. This inventory consists of a wide variety of
subdivisions encompassing a broad spectrum of prices in several locales.
Income properties revenues totaled $817,000 and $738,000 for the period ending
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Operations were fairly consistent for the
periods ending March 31, 1996 and 1995 and management expects future revenues to
be slightly higher. As of January 1, 1996 the Partnership assumed responsibility
for management of the Port Gamble townsite from Pope & Talbot, Inc. A year-long
planning process is underway to determine how best to optimize the values
inherent in both Port Gamble's historic core and its attendant acreage.
General
The Partnership is a joint venture partner in a 36-room inn at Port Ludlow. The
expected occupancy level has not been achieved and the inn has thus performed
below expectations. For the first quarter of 1996 the inn showed an occupancy
percentage of 19.5% compared to 17.5% for the first quarter of 1995. Management
of the joint venture is working hard to create innovative ways to increase
revenues and are optimistic that such efforts will be successful. The
Partnership's share of joint venture losses were $144,000 and $130,000 for the
1996 and 1995 first quarters, respectively.

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-term and
on a long-term basis. At March 31, 1996, the Partnership had available an unused
$20 million loan commitment from a bank.
Management has considerable discretion to increase or decrease the level of logs
cut and thus drive net income and cash flow up or down assuming, of course, logs
prices and demand remain stable. Management's current plan is to harvest
approximately 21 million board feet of softwood logs and trees in 1996 which
compares to 27 million board feet 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 $5,037,000 in the first quarter
of 1996, while overall cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,330,000. The
cash generated was primarily used for repayments of long-term debt totaling
$3,040,000 and capital expenditures of $667,000.
The Partnership has not declared a cash distribution in 1996. 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.
