NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited financial statements reflect, in the opinion of Rayonier
Inc. and subsidiaries (Rayonier or the Company), all adjustments (which
include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
of the results of operations, the financial position and the cash flows
for the periods presented. For a full description of accounting
policies, please refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in the 2000 Annual Report on Form 10K.

2. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The following table provides details of the calculation of basic and
diluted earnings per common share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" for

</TABLE>

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, in the first quarter
of 2001. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in
commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The
Company's objective is to minimize the economic impact of these market
risks. Derivatives are used, as noted below, in accordance with
policies and procedures approved by the Board of Directors and are
managed by a senior executive committee whose responsibilities include
initiating, managing and monitoring resulting exposures. The Company
does not enter into such financial instruments for trading purposes.

Rayonier's New Zealand forward contracts are intended to cover
anticipated operating needs and therefore do not hedge firm commitments
in accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." As a
result, contracts are marked to market as in the past, and the
resulting gains and losses on these contracts are included in the
"Interest and miscellaneous income (expense), net" line. The Company
incurred a loss of approximately $1 million on these foreign currency
contracts in the first three months of 2001. During the first quarter
of 2001, the maximum foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at
any point in time totaled $17.7 million. At March 31, 2001, the Company
held foreign currency contracts maturing through April 2002, totaling
$12.5 million (nominal value). This included $10.4 million of New
Zealand dollar contracts to cover anticipated operating needs, and $2.1
million of Danish Krone contracts to hedge a firm commitment related to
equipment purchases payable in Danish Krones.

6. RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications of the prior period amounts have been made to
conform to the current year presentation. Effective December 31, 2000,
the Company changed its method of reporting freight revenue and costs
in compliance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-10,
"Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs." Freight costs
will now be charged to cost of sales rather than netted against sales.
The Company's financial statements have been reclassified to reflect
the increase in sales and cost of sales of $15.8 million for the period
ended March 31, 2000.

On November 28, 2000, the Company announced its intention to focus on
two core businesses, Performance Fibers and Timberland Management, and
de-emphasize activities in a third segment, Wood Products and Trading.
Based upon the segment changes and the Company's intention of selling
timberlands on a more regular basis, certain items in the financial
statements have been reclassified. The gain of $23.1 million from the
sale of timberland in the first quarter of 2000 was reclassified to
Timberland and Real Estate sales of $49.6 million and cost of sales of
$26.5 million. In the cash flow statements for the periods ended March
31, 2001 and 2000, an adjustment was made for non-cash expenses
relating to the depletion of merchantable and pre-merchantable timber
on the land and the basis in the land. All changes noted herein had no
effect on net income or earnings per share in the prior period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Rayonier operates in three major business segments: Performance Fibers,
Timberland Management, and Wood Products and Trading. The Performance Fibers
segment includes two reportable business units, Cellulose Specialties and
Absorbent Materials. The Timberland Management segment includes two reportable
business units, Timber Harvest, and Timberland and Real Estate. Prior years'
segment information has been reclassified to conform with the segment
information presented in the current year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SALES AND OPERATING INCOME

Sales for the first quarter of 2001 were $276 million, $78 million below the
first quarter of 2000. The sales decrease was due to substantially lower
timberland sales, lower log trading activity and weakness in lumber markets.
Operating income of $38 million was $37 million lower than the first quarter of
2000, primarily due to lower timberland sales compared to last year, coupled
with weak U.S. timber and lumber markets.

PERFORMANCE FIBERS

Sales of Performance Fibers products for the first quarter of 2001 were $139
million, $2 million lower than first quarter 2000. Operating income for first
quarter 2001 of $15 million was $3 million lower than the prior year. Operating
income declined 16 percent as a result of higher manufacturing costs, partially
offset by higher Cellulose Specialties volume and improved Absorbent Materials
prices.

CELLULOSE SPECIALTIES

Cellulose Specialty sales of $90 million for the first quarter of 2001
were $3 million higher than the first quarter of 2000. The increase
over prior year was due primarily from higher sales volume, partly
offset by average price decreases of approximately 1 percent.

ABSORBENT MATERIALS

Absorbent Materials sales of $49 million for the first quarter of 2001
were $5 million lower than the first quarter 2000 sales of $54 million.
Lower Absorbent Materials volume was partially offset by improved
prices.

TIMBERLAND MANAGEMENT

Sales of $63 million and operating income of $36 million for first quarter 2001
were lower than first quarter 2000 by $53 million and $31 million, respectively.

TIMBER HARVEST

Timber Harvest sales for the first quarter of 2001 were $62 million, $1
million lower than last year's first quarter. Operating income of $33
million, was $7 million lower than prior year. These decreases were
primarily due to lower Northwest U.S. timber volumes compared to an
unusually high level last year, partially offset by an increase in
Southeast U.S. timber volumes, following the ramp-up of the October
1999 timberland acquisition in late 2000 and into early 2001. In
addition to the volume changes over prior year, timber pricing was
negatively impacted by weak lumber markets.

TIMBERLAND AND REAL ESTATE

Sales for the Timberland and Real Estate unit decreased $52 million for
the first quarter ended 2001, while operating income decreased $23
million compared to the first quarter of 2000. Both sales and operating
income were lower primarily due to higher timberland sales in the first
quarter of 2000, which contributed $53 million and $26 million in sales
and operating income, respectively.

On April 30, 2001, the Company sold approximately 57,000 acres of
timberland for $60 million. The sale will increase operating income in
the second quarter of 2001 by approximately $33 million. The net
proceeds from the transaction of approximately $58 million will be used
to pay down debt.

WOOD PRODUCTS AND TRADING

First quarter 2001 sales were $84 million compared to $108 million in the first
quarter of 2000, while operating losses of $6 million were $4 million higher
than a year ago. The variance was primarily due to significantly weaker lumber
markets, and lower U.S. domestic trading activity.


7
10



CORPORATE AND OTHER

Corporate and other costs were $1 million below last year's first quarter
primarily due to lower incentive compensation and relocation expenses, partially
offset by higher intersegment eliminations.

OTHER INCOME / EXPENSE

Interest expense in the first quarter was $19 million, a decrease of $4 million
from the first quarter of 2000 primarily due to lower average debt balances.

The effective tax rate of 33.6 percent for the first quarter of 2001 was
slightly higher than the 31.8 percent rate in the first quarter of 2000. The
effective tax rate is below U.S. statutory rates, due to lower tax rates in
effect for foreign subsidiaries and to various tax credits.

NET INCOME

Net income for the first quarter of 2001 was $12.3 million, or $0.45 per diluted
common share, compared with $35.5 million, or $1.27 per diluted common share,
for the first quarter of 2000. First quarter 2000 included gains of $0.59 per
share from timberland sales. Earnings were lower primarily due to lower
timberland sales, coupled with weak U.S. timber and lumber markets.

OTHER ITEMS

Despite continued weakness in the global economy, lower Performance Fibers
results in the second quarter of 2001 are expected to be comparable to the first
quarter as an increase in shipments should mostly offset continued weakness in
Absorbent Materials (fluff pulp) prices. Timber markets continue to soften
somewhat and the Northwest timber harvest is expected to decrease from first
quarter levels. Second quarter results in total however, should improve over the
first quarter, and last year's second quarter, due to the $60 million timberland
sale on April 30, 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow provided by operating activities of $57 million for the first three
months of 2001 decreased $44 million from 2000, primarily as a result of lower
timberland sales in the first quarter of 2001. Cash flow used for investing
activities for the first three months of 2001 was $18 million, essentially the
same as in the prior year, with lower expenditures for plant and equipment and
for timber purchase agreements, offset by a lower decrease in other assets in
2001 compared to 2000. Cash flow used for financing activities was $38 million,
a decrease of $35 million from $73 million in 2000. This was primarily due to
higher debt repayments in 2000 and the absence of repurchases of common shares
in 2001. EBITDA (defined as earnings from continuing operations before
significant non-recurring items, provision for dispositions, interest expense,
income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and the non-cash cost of the
land basis in timberland and real estate sales) for first quarter 2001 amounted
to $78 million, $61 million lower than first quarter 2000 results. The decrease
in EBITDA was primarily due to lower timberland sales in the first quarter of
2001. Cash provided by operating activities helped to finance capital
expenditures of $21 million, dividends of $10 million, and allowed for the
repayment of $29 million of debt. Free cash flow (defined as EBITDA plus
significant non-recurring items, less income taxes, interest expense, change in
working capital, long-term assets and liabilities, custodial capital spending
and prior-year dividend levels) decreased $38 million to $33 million in first
quarter 2001, primarily as a result of lower net earnings.

The Company did not repurchase any of its common shares outstanding during the
first quarter of 2001. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company repurchased
85,600 shares at an average price of $41.39 or a total cost of $3.5 million.

At March 31, 2001, debt was $944 million, a reduction of $29 million from
December 31, 2000, and the debt-to-capital ratio was 58.0 percent compared to
58.8 percent at December 31, 2000. As of March 31, 2001, Rayonier had $375
million available under its revolving credit facilities.

In addition, the Company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
shelf registration statements to offer $150 million of new public debt
securities. The Company believes that internally generated funds, combined with
available external financing, will enable Rayonier to fund capital expenditures,
share repurchases, working capital and other liquidity needs for the foreseeable
future.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in commodity
prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company's objective is to
minimize the economic impact of these market risks. Derivatives are used, as
noted, in accordance with policies and procedures approved by the Board of
Directors and are managed by a senior executive committee whose responsibilities
include initiating, managing and monitoring resulting exposures. The Company
does not enter into financial instruments for trading purposes.

Circumstances surrounding the Company's exchange rate risk, commodity price risk
and interest rate risk remain unchanged from December 31, 2000. For a full
description of the Company's market risk, please refer to Item 7. Management
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the
2000 Annual Report on Form 10K.

SAFE HARBOR

Comments about market trends, anticipated earnings and activities in second
quarter 2001 and beyond, including disclosures about the Company's anticipated
timber harvest levels, are forward-looking and are made pursuant to the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Changes in the following important factors, among others, could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements: global market conditions impacting supply and demand for wood
products, export and domestic logs and high performance cellulose fibers;
governmental policies and regulations affecting the environment, import and
export controls and taxes; availability and pricing of competitive products;
production costs for wood products and performance fibers, particularly for raw
materials such as wood and chemicals; weather conditions in the Company's
operating areas; and interest rate and currency movements.
