NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
For purposes of this report, any reference to “Potlatch,” “the company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” means Potlatch Corporation and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial statements; certain disclosures normally provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been omitted. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2014. We believe that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of such interim periods have been included.
NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This update was issued as Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. The core principle of this amendment is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with earlier adoption not permitted. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES
As a real estate investment trust (REIT), we generally are not subject to federal and state corporate income taxes on income of the REIT that we distribute to our shareholders. We are, however, subject to corporate taxes on built-in gains (the excess of fair market value over tax basis on January 1, 2006) on sales of real property held by the REIT during the first ten years following the REIT conversion. The sale of standing timber is not subject to built-in gains tax. The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 modified the built-in gains provisions to exempt sales of real properties in 2011, if five years of the recognition period had elapsed before January 1, 2011. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the reduced five-year holding period for sales occurring in 2012 and 2013. Accordingly, the built-in gains tax did not apply to sales of real property that occurred in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
We conduct certain activities through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS), which are subject to corporate level federal and state income taxes. These activities are principally comprised of our wood products manufacturing operations and certain real estate investments. Income taxes for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were primarily due to income of the TRS.

NOTE 5. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
As of June 30, 2014, we had three stock incentive plans under which performance share grants, restricted stock unit (RSU) grants and stock options were outstanding, with approximately 1,082,161 shares authorized for future use under the 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan.
On May 8, 2014, our board approved changes to our director compensation program. This amendment states that upon a director's separation from the company, all deferred awards will be settled in company stock and no longer settled in cash. This resulted in a reclassification of the related $4.3 million liability to shareholder equity.
As of June 30, 2014, there were 111,306 shares that will be distributed to directors in the future.
The following table details our equity-based compensation expense and director deferred compensation expense for the quarters and six months ended June 30:

Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “will,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “project,” “believe,” “seek,” “schedule,” “estimate,” “could,” “can,” “may” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views regarding future events based on estimates and assumptions and are therefore subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. Our actual results of operations could differ materially from our historical results or those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements contained in this report. For a nonexclusive listing of forward-looking statements and potential factors affecting our business, refer to “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” on page 1 and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Forward-looking statements contained in this report present our views only as of the date of this report. Except as required under applicable law, we do not intend to issue updates concerning any future revisions of our views to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.
Overview
The operating results of our Resource, Wood Products and Real Estate business segments have been and will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors, including the cyclical nature of the forest products industry, which is largely dependent on the economy and U.S. housing starts, changes in timber prices and in harvest levels from our timberlands, competition, timberland valuations, demand for our non-strategic timberland for higher and better use purposes, the efficiency and level of capacity utilization of our wood products manufacturing operations, changes in our principal expenses such as log costs and fuel costs, asset dispositions or acquisitions, and other factors.
Operating results were affected by lower harvest volumes, primarily in Idaho. We pulled forward a portion of the harvest planned for the second half of 2013 into the first quarter to take advantage of higher log prices in Idaho. In addition, drier weather in Idaho during the second quarter of 2013 allowed for additional logging days. Consequently, harvest levels were lower in 2014 compared to 2013. Adverse winter weather conditions affected demand for our lumber during the first quarter of 2014, but resulted in increased shipments during the second quarter. We had two large rural real estate transactions in the first six months of 2014.
Results of Operations
Our business is organized into three reporting segments: Resource, Wood Products and Real Estate. Sales between segments are recorded as intersegment revenues based on prevailing market prices. Because our Resource segment supplies our Wood Products segment with a portion of its wood fiber needs, intersegment revenues typically represent a significant portion of the Resource segment’s total revenues. Our other segments generally do not generate intersegment revenues.
In the analysis of our consolidated results of operations, revenues are reported after elimination of intersegment revenues. In the analysis by business segments, each segment's revenues are presented before elimination of intersegment revenues.

Revenues – Revenues increased in the second quarter of 2014 over the same period in 2013 due to a large rural real estate transaction and increased Wood Products shipments, partially offset by decreased revenues that resulted from lower harvest volumes. A more detailed analysis of revenues follows in the operating results by business segments.
Cost of goods sold – Cost of goods sold increased in the second quarter of 2014 over the second quarter of 2013, due to the higher cost of logs consumed in our Wood Products segment, related to both increased shipments and higher per-unit costs, and increased basis of land sold by our Real Estate segment, partially offset by decreased logging and hauling costs and depletion expenses in our Resource segment due to decreased harvest volumes.
Selling, general and administrative expenses – Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the second quarter of 2014 over the same period in 2013 primarily due to non-cash mark-to-market adjustments related to our deferred compensation plans and higher incentive plan expenses.
Environmental remediation charge – In the second quarter of 2013 we recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.8 million related to remediation costs associated with our Avery Landing site in Idaho.
Interest expense, net – Net interest expense decreased in the second quarter of 2014 from the same period in 2013 due to debt redemptions in 2013.
Income tax provision – Our consolidated effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2014 was 32.8% compared to 19.3% in the second quarter of 2013. The increase between periods resulted from proportionately higher operating income in the TRS compared to the REIT.

Revenues decreased in the second quarter of 2014 from the same period in 2013 due to lower harvest volumes in both regions and slightly lower sawlog prices in Idaho. Decreased harvest volumes and the lower Idaho sawlog prices accounted for $6.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of the negative revenue variance.
In our Northern region, drier weather in Idaho during the second quarter of 2013 allowed for additional logging days in 2013, resulting in comparatively lower harvest volumes in 2014. Pulpwood shipments and prices increased in the second quarter of 2014 over the second quarter of 2013 due to stronger demand. An oversupply of residuals and chips in the Northwest in the second quarter of 2013 resulted in decreased pulpwood prices, which led us to minimize pulpwood production in that period.
In our Southern region, unusually wet weather in the second quarter of 2014 negatively affected both sawlog and pulpwood production volumes, but had a positive effect on sawlog prices.
Expenses for the segment decreased $2.1 million, or 7%, in the second quarter of 2014 from the same period in 2013, primarily due to lower logging and hauling costs and depletion expense resulting from the decreased harvest volumes.

Revenues decreased in the first six months of 2014 from the same period in 2013 due to lower harvest volumes, primarily in Idaho, partially offset by increased prices in Idaho. The decrease in harvest volumes accounted for a negative $11.8 million revenue variance, which was partially offset by a positive pricing variance of $1.8 million.
In our Northern region, we pulled forward a portion of the harvest planned for the second half of 2013 into the first quarter to take advantage of higher prices. In addition, drier weather in Idaho during the second quarter of 2013 allowed for additional logging days in 2013. Consequently, we had comparatively lower harvest volumes in 2014. Sawlog prices increased in 2014, particularly in the first quarter, due to improved markets. Pulpwood prices increased in the first six months of 2014 over the same period in 2013 due to improved demand. An oversupply of residuals and chips in the Northwest in the second quarter of 2013 resulted in decreased pulpwood costs, which led us to minimize pulpwood production in that period.
In our Southern region, the sawlog harvest was lower in 2014 due to wet weather and a shift to harvest regions that contained less pine sawlog volumes in the first quarter. Pulpwood harvest volumes increased due to additional pine plantation thinnings in the first quarter of 2014, partially offset by wet weather in the second quarter. Prices for both sawlogs and pulpwood were basically unchanged between periods.

Expenses for the segment decreased $5.9 million, or 8%, in the first six months of 2014 from the same period in 2013, primarily due to lower logging and hauling costs and depletion expense resulting from the decreased harvest volumes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act), under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) as of June 30, 2014. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In the six months ended June 30, 2014 there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that would materially affect or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
