MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)
June 30, 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 two quarters of 1996 the Partnership logged and sold
approximately 14.3 million board feet of softwood logs at an average price of
$798 per thousand board feet (MBF). The Partnership had no stumpage sales in the
first two quarters 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 14 million board feet of softwood timber at an average price of
$833 per MBF. In addition, during the first six months of 1995, the Partnership
sold stumpage totaling .8 MBF feet of softwood logs at an average price of $521
per MBF. The decrease in the average price per MBF is primarily attributable to
the lower percentage of export volume sold in the first two quarters of 1996 as
compared to 1995. The average price of logs sold reflects various mixes of log
grades and different types of stumpage sales and is, therefore, not necessarily
indicative of future prices.
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 56% and 51% of total timber revenues for the six month
periods ending June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The export demand for
logs is directly affected by the demand from Asian countries. Since 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
strengthened in the second quarter. While the market price of logs can change
significantly for a variety of reasons, management anticipates export prices to
remain stable in the third quarter of 1996 with prices then increasing for the
balance of the year.
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. There continues to be a declining number of domestic
sawmills in the company's operating region. As the number of sawmills has
declined, management has thus far been successful in finding replacement outlets
for its domestic logs. Management does not believe the decline in domestic
sawmills will materially impact its 1996 operations but nonetheless is
continuing to explore 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 $2,929,000 and $2,796,000 for 1996
and 1995, respectively. The Partnership's largest development is in Port Ludlow,
Washington. During the first two quarters of 1996 the Partnership's development
at Port Ludlow generated revenues of $2,199,000 on 4 finished lot sales and 6
home sales. This compares to the prior year's comparable period sales of
$2,174,000 on 13 finished lot sales, 4 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 June
30, 1996 the Partnership had 180 developed lots and 27 homes under various
stages of completion. This inventory consists of a wide variety of subdivisions
encompassing a broad spectrum of prices in several locales.
As for properties in Bremerton, Kingston, and Gig Harbor that are progressing
through the entitlement process - each is moving more slowly than anticipated.
Both Bremerton and Gig Harbor are expected to gain key municipal approvals in
late 1996. Detailed project applications will follow in early 1997. Entitlements
for Kingston are complicated and delayed by issues related to the State's Growth
Management Act.
Income properties revenues totaled $2,028,000 and $1,802,000 for the periods
ending June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Operations were fairly consistent
for the periods ending June 30, 1996 and 1995 and management expects future
revenues to continue to increase. 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.
Other
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 two quarters of 1996 the inn showed an
occupancy percentage of 31% compared to 22% for the first two quarters of 1995.
Management of the joint venture is working hard to create innovative ways to
increase revenues. The Partnership's share of joint venture losses were $231,000
and $240,000 for the 1996 and 1995 first two 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 June 30, 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, log
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 $7,874,000 in the first two
quarters of 1996, and overall cash and cash equivalents increased by $3,647,000.
The cash generated was primarily used for repayments of long-term debt totaling
$3,127,000 and capital expenditures of $1,144,000.
The Partnership has declared a cash distribution of $2.35 per unit payable on
July 29, 1996 to unitholders of record as of July 8, 1996. The cash distribution
is expected to be followed by a second distribution in late 1996. Together the
two distributions relate to income expected to be realized in 1996 and are
intended to assist the unitholders in meeting their federal and state income tax
liabilities attributable to such income. All cash distributions are at the
discretion of the Partnership's managing general partner, Pope MGP, Inc.
