    NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET (CONTINUED)

                         (Unaudited)


The cash consideration presented above includes Medite's current estimate of (i)
the net realizable value of the two Oregon timber conversion facilities which
Medite has determined to permanently close and sell and (ii) the cash proceeds
which will be realized from the sale of the Oregon MDF facility based upon the
current negotiations for the definitive agreement.

The effective income tax rate relating to the net pre-tax gain on disposal
differs from the 35% federal statutory rate due principally to the impact of
state income taxes.


II -    Repayment of $53.0 million of Medite's U.S. bank indebtedness.
