(1) During the 1st quarter of 2009, we sold 112,000 acres in Montana to a conservation buyer for $250 million. The sale is presented as a Conservation sale. The transaction included 56,000 acres of Conservation property, 10,000 acres of Small Non-strategic property, 45,000 acres of HBU/Recreation property, and 1,000 acres of Development property.

(2) During the 4th quarter of 2008, we sold 130,000 acres in Montana to a conservation buyer for $150 million. The sale is presented as a Conservation sale. The transaction included 59,000 acres of Conservation property, 51,000 acres of Small Non-strategic property, 16,000 acres of HBU/Recreation property, and 4,000 acres of Development property.

(3) Includes $16 million in the second quarter of 2009 for a 59,000 acre Large Non-strategic sale in Wisconsin, $85 million in the first quarter of 2009 for a 112,000 acre conservation sale in Montana and $75 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 for a 130,000 acre conservation sale in Montana.

(4) During the 3^rd quarter of 2009, we completed a non-cash exchange with the State of Washington. We recognized $25 million of revenue which represents the fair value of the lands we received. No gain was recognized in the transaction as the book value of the timberlands we disposed of approximated the exchange value of $25 million. No basis is reflected in the cash flow statement as this was a non-cash exchange. The exchange consisted of us relinquishing 20,600 acres of timberlands and receiving 37 parcels in nine counties covering more than 6,000 acres. The lands acquired in the exchange have attributes yielding a higher value per acre than the lands we surrendered.
