Pope Resources (NasdaqGSM:POPEZ) reported net income of $6.3
million, or $1.30 per diluted ownership unit, on revenues of $17.6
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. This compares to
net income of $7.8 million, or $1.63 per diluted ownership unit, on
revenues of $16.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006.
The $6.3 million net income amount for 2007 is after a $1.9 million
fourth quarter charge to earnings for adding to an environmental
remediation liability that is described in more detail below. Net
income for the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled $15.5 million,
or $3.21 per diluted ownership unit, on revenues of $51.9 million.
For the corresponding period in 2006, net income totaled $24.9
million, or $5.23 per diluted ownership unit, on revenues of $66.3
million. Cash flow from operations for the quarter ended December
31, 2007 was $10.0 million, compared to $15.1 million for the
fourth quarter of 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2007, cash
flow from operations was $22.0 million, compared to $43.5 million
in 2006. �We had a tough act to follow after our record performance
in 2006, but 2007 still compares very favorably relative to all
other years in the company�s history,� said David L. Nunes,
President and CEO. �By shifting more of our planned log harvest
volume to earlier in the year, our log sale revenues held up better
than would have otherwise been the case given the softer log
markets late in the year that were a function of a stagnant
national real estate market. In addition, our Real Estate segment
had a solid year, helped significantly by the delayed revenue
recognition of two sales that closed in 2006.� Fourth quarter
results for our Fee Timber segment, driven by harvest volume of 7.3
million board feet (MMBF) compared to 3.7 MMBF in last year�s
fourth quarter, increased 108% as operating income went from $0.8
million in 2006 to $1.6 million in 2007. Somewhat offsetting this
positive volume impact was a 6% decline in realized log prices from
$620 per thousand board feet (MBF) in the fourth quarter of 2006 to
$585 per MBF in 2007. Fee Timber operating income for the full year
was $15.2 million, representing a 4% increase over 2006 results of
$14.6 million. At 55.2 MMBF, log harvest volume increased 1% in
2007 over 2006�s harvest of 54.5 MMBF. Harvest volume in 2007
includes 5.3 MMBF of volume harvested from tree farms acquired in
late 2006 by ORM Timber Fund I, LP. Offsetting this volume
increase, our average realized log price dropped 1% from $611 per
MBF in 2006 to $607 per MBF in 2007. The primary reason 2007
operating income for Fee Timber is higher than 2006 is due to a
decline in the depletion rate. Our Real Estate segment generated
fourth quarter 2007 operating income of $5.6 million on revenues of
$12.5 million, compared to $7.9 million of operating income on
$13.0 million of revenue in the last quarter of 2006. Nearly $5.3
million of the 2007 income related to deferred revenue on two sales
that closed in 2006, one a 6-acre commercial site in Gig Harbor and
the other residual to the sale of a 200-acre residential property
in Bremerton. In each case, some or all of the revenue recognition
was deferred to 2007 pending the construction of certain
infrastructure improvements, for which the Partnership fulfilled
its obligations in 2007�s fourth quarter. Another $3.0 million of
operating income was generated through four additional land sale
transactions. Full year 2007 results for the Real Estate segment
reflect operating income of $5.2 million on revenues of $15.0
million, compared to $13.9 million of operating income on revenues
of $27.3 million for 2006. Since early in this decade, we have been
addressing environmental remediation issues in the town of Port
Gamble, Washington, with an agreement for apportioning the cleanup
costs with the prior owner, Pope & Talbot, Inc. (�P&T�).
P&T filed for bankruptcy in late 2007 and as that case has
unfolded we have determined there is a low probability that P&T
will be in a position to fund its agreed-upon share of anticipated
cleanup costs. As a result, we have taken a $1.9 million charge to
earnings in the current quarter to accrue for estimated future
environmental cleanup liabilities in Port Gamble. Fourth quarter
results for our Timberland Management & Consulting segment
declined from a $0.1 million operating loss in 2006 to a loss of
$0.3 million in 2007. For the full year, this segment posted an
operating loss of $0.9 million compared to operating income of $1.3
million in 2006. The decline in operating results from this segment
is attributable to fewer assets under management in 2007 and a
timberland disposition fee earned in 2006 that was not repeated in
2007. As announced previously, we will be reducing our 2008 timber
harvest volume by 36% from our long-term sustainable level in
response to expected soft prices for logs in the coming year since
the slowdown in housing starts has curtailed demand for solid wood
products. Our planned timber harvest for 2008 is 37 MMBF, which is
33% below the 55 MMBF we harvested in 2007. The financial schedules

contains a number of projections and statements about our expected
financial condition, operating results, business plans and
objectives. These statements reflect management's estimates based
on current goals and its expectations about future developments.
Because these statements describe our goals, objectives, and

will vary from current expectations and under various circumstances
the results of these variations may be material and adverse. Some
of the factors that may cause actual operating results and
financial condition to fall short of expectations include factors
that affect our ability to anticipate and respond adequately to
fluctuations in the market prices for our products; environmental
and land use regulations that limit our ability to harvest timber
and develop property; our ability to estimate accurately the amount
of our exposure for environmental liabilities; labor, equipment and
transportation costs that affect our net income; our ability to
discover and to accurately estimate liabilities associated with our
properties; and economic conditions that affect consumer demand for
our products and the prices we receive for them. Other factors are
set forth in that part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K entitled
"Risk Factors." Other issues that may have an adverse and material
impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition
