REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors
Deltic Timber Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Thrift Plan of Deltic Timber Corporation (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Thrift Plan of Deltic Timber Corporation as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, Line 4i – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2006, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

THRIFT PLAN OF DELTIC TIMBER CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
Note 1—Description of Plan
General
The Thrift Plan of Deltic Timber Corporation (“the Plan”) is a profit sharing, defined contribution plan covering each employee who is scheduled to work, or actually does work, 1,000 or more hours per year. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, Deltic Timber Corporation (“Deltic” or the “Company”) has the right under the Plan to amend or terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. For a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions, refer to the Plan document.
The Plan is administered by Deltic’s Pension, Investment, and Employee Benefits Committee (“Plan Administrator”), whose members are appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors. SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust” or the “Trustee”), Nashville N.A. is the Plan’s trustee.
Contributions
Contributions to the Plan include (a) employee tax-deferred, earnings-reduction contributions, (b) employee after-tax supplemental contributions, (c) employer matching safe harbor contributions and (d) rollovers from other qualified plans.
A participant may contribute up to 50 percent of their eligible compensation to a tax-deferred account. Effective January 1, 2005, the employer will make a safe harbor contribution on behalf of each participant who makes a tax-deferred contribution to the Plan. The safe harbor contribution will equal 100 percent of the first 5 percent of eligible compensation that is contributed to the Plan. The employer may make additional voluntary matching contributions at its discretion. No such additional contributions were made in 2006. Tax-deferred contributions may not exceed the annual IRS limit. Participants may also contribute to an after-tax supplemental account not to exceed 10 percent of eligible compensation. After-tax supplemental contributions are not matched by the employer. Participants direct the investment of their contributions and employer matching contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers stock in the Company and 12 investment funds as options for participants.
Vesting
Effective January 1, 2005, the Plan was amended whereby participants working for the employer on that date, became 100 percent vested in all previous matching employer contributions. Subsequently, participants will be immediately 100 percent vested in safe harbor contributions.
Prior to January 1, 2005, a participant was vested in Company contributions after (1) completion of three years of service, (2) retirement on or after age 65, (3) death, (4) total and permanent disability, or (5) discontinuance of the Plan.

Note 1—Description of Plan (cont.)
Withdrawals
Although the Plan is designed specifically for retirement, a participant may request an in-service withdrawal from the Plan while actively employed. A participant may withdraw employee after-tax supplemental contributions, Pre-2005 employer matching contributions, Pre-1987 deductible contributions, or Post-1986 matching employee contributions at a minimum of $250. Withdrawals from these accounts are limited to once every 12 months. Pre-1987 matching employee contributions may be withdrawn at any time and at any amount. Participants may be required to bear the cost of any distribution fees associated with an in-service withdrawal.
A participant may withdraw employee tax-deferred contributions or rollovers from other qualified plans under IRS hardship provisions only. “Hardship” is an immediate and heavy financial need in one of the following areas: (1) medical expenses not covered by insurance for the employee, spouse or dependents, (2) purchase of a principal residence (not including mortgage payments), (3) preventing foreclosure or eviction from employee’s principal residence, (4) tuition fees for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for employee, spouse or dependents, (5) funeral or burial expenses for the employee’s deceased parent, spouse or dependent, (6) principal residence repair that qualifies for the casualty deduction, or (7) other events as may be determined by the IRS. If a hardship withdrawal is taken, participation in all accounts is suspended for 6 months.
Any employer contributions, employee tax-deferred or account earnings withdrawn from the Plan may be subject to a 10 percent penalty tax under the Tax Reform Act of 1986 if the participant is not 59 1/2 years old, or permanently disabled, or has died.
Upon retirement, disability, or death of a participant, the participant or his/her spouse, if the designated beneficiary, has the option to receive settlement in a lump sum or installment payments not to exceed 20 years or actuarial life if less than 20 years.
Administrative Expenses
The Company pays most administrative expenses.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and present the net assets available for benefits and changes in those net assets.
The investments and changes in the net assets available for benefits have been determined by the Trustee and reported to the Plan Administrator based on quoted market values. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
The financial statements of the Plan are compiled using information received from SunTrust. The information includes listings of investments and cash receipts and disbursements of the Plan, together with all other transactions, which affect Plan investments. Such information has been certified as complete and accurate by the Trustee. The Trustee has been granted discretionary authority concerning the purchase and sale of investments in the trust fund.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 3—Investments
During 2006, the Plan’s investments, including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year, appreciated in value by $754,437, as follows:
Mutual funds | $ | 684,207 | |
Equity securities | 70,230 | ||

Note 4—Income Tax Status
The Plan meets the necessary requirements of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 as documented in Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and accordingly, the related Trust is exempt from taxation under the provisions of Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Internal Revenue Service determined and informed the Company by a letter dated January 28, 2002, that the Plan was designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code. By a letter dated February 24, 2004, the Internal Revenue Service made a favorable determination related to plan amendments enacted in 2003. No additional determination letters have been received since that time related to the subsequent plan amendments; however, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Until such time as cash or shares are withdrawn from the Plan by a participant or a participant’s beneficiary, no income tax is payable by the participant/beneficiary on: contributions made by the Company on the participant’s behalf, allotments made by the participant pursuant to the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, or any amounts added to the participant’s accounts representing his/her proportional share of the investment income of the Trust.
