NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These statements are unaudited financial statements and should be read
in conjunction with the 1993 Annual Report of the Company.

Effective as of January 1, 1993, the Company adopted new Financial 
Accounting Standards Board requirements that govern the way deferred
taxes are calculated and reported. Adoption of these requirements 
entailed a one-time adjustment that had no effect on the Company's 
first quarter 1993 net loss.

Early in the first quarter of 1993, the Company issued $111,202,000, 
net of issuance costs, of 9.4 percent nonconvertible Series F preferred
stock.

During the first quarter of 1993, the Company sold its interest in a
specialty paper producer at a pretax gain of $8,644,000, or 14 cents
per fully diluted common share after taxes.
